[ There's nothing but a blur of blue at first, a muffled groan somewhere. ]

What in the actual fu--

[ A pause, a gasp, and then the sound of running feet. ]

Dirk!

[ THUD. A second later, the SFC that's on has tumbled out of the pocket it was in and lands on the ground, showing the current scene a little sideways.

Roxy's laying on top of Dirk, her arms wrapped awkwardly around him, and she has her face buried in his chest. They're wearing some interesting outfits (nice pants, Dirk), but that seems to be the last thing on their minds. ]

You're okay! I thought you weren't because fuck the Batterwitch but you are you're okay and I'm okay and nothing is going on and look! We're back and-- you know what I probably shouldn't be laying on top of you should I. Lemme just...

[ She caaaaaaaaaaassually slides off of him and picks up her SFC, shutting it again and turning it back off. ]



((ooc; ps dirk and roxy are back from their update 8U replies will probably come from both))

John never mentioned it, and I've never had the pleasure of getting to know Rose.

[It's her cue to feed him the knowledge he'd drink up like a sponge, if given half the chance.]

[oceanbreasts]

Well basically, to get there, we've gotta go find our quest beds 'n "face our own mortality" an' shit like that. Basically we gotta lay on our beds and kill ourselves, or have someone kill us. 'Course other people took that decision from our hands and blew us up which, really, we're pretty grateful for that.

[ shrug ]

Anyway we're practically unkillable now? Like, there are only certain conditions we can die from now. So I can't like accidentally trip and fall into a manhole and die, unless doing so would somehow be heroic or just.

[symmetrophile]

So, by facing your own mortality under your session's specific rules...

You've effectively become immortal.

[FASCINATING.]

But only insofar as your untimely death does not come about as the just outcome of an action, or by taking a heroic gamble with your life?

[Hmm. Just desserts or heroic sacrifice.

Appealingly opposite.]

[oceanbreasts]

You got it! And in return we also get to get all in touch with our aspect 'n role. Which... to be perfectly honest, I still don't really have any idea what I'm supposed to do as a rogue of void. My good friend tried to explain it to me, but stealing nothingness to help others makes approximately zero sense at all.

[ SHRUG ]

[symmetrophile]

Stealing nothingness?

But how do you steal what doesn't exist?

[Watch out, Roxy. This kind of obscure, metaphysical bullshit is Kid's bread and butter. He could voraciously devour this kind of information all day.]

[oceanbreasts]

I have absofuckinglutely no idea. So far the only thing I've really done is made it so not a single god damn person realizes I'm there.

[ So that's... fun.

:| ]

[symmetrophile]

Does that really work?

[No, really. He's curious.]

Is that something you could try? Right now?

[REALLY CURIOUS.]

[oceanbreasts]

...I dunno! I haven't really gotten a chance to test it out yet, and I sorta had a ring to help me out before... And not being in the game, I dunno if it'll even work here. But I can try!

[ LET'S FIGHTING!

Okay let's see here. He's already concentrating on her, though, so that might make things a little more difficult.

But instead she'll just set the SFC down on the ground and shrink back against the fountain, her eyes closed. Don't pay attention to me. You don't want to even know I'm here. You have more important things to think about. You don't even remember wanting to see me do this.

...And now she'll just crack an eye open while continuing to think these things, just to see if it works. ]

[symmetrophile]

[Maybe.

Kid is unmistakably keeping an eye on her. Or rather both eyes.

Up until he becomes irrevocably distracted when he finds out about Dirk being a "destroyer of souls", and then this shit is on.

Was it her void powers? Or the inevitable result of their ongoing rivalry?

IT IS A MYSTERY.

It might also be kind of intense.]
