[✱ Another roar, right in Runi’s face. Green magic crackles around it, briefly, before disappearing.
It’s hard to tell if the beast even understands what they’re saying, and even harder to tell if it can respond in the same capacity.. poor thing.]
* [ROAR AT ME ALL YOU WANT BUDDY. They!!! Put!!! Their hand!!!! Right on that face.]
* [They won’t talk further, for now, but they’re definitely doing what they can to get the point across – they aren’t going away anytime soon.]
[✱ It turns and watches them as they approach, silent and still.. before abruptly charging towards them with the intent to consume them whole. Of course, with Runi just being a projection.. it doesn’t really do much of anything.
This seems to frustrate the beast, and it roars loudly, almost seeming to shake the void around it.]
* [YIKE. That’s something they’re going to have stuck on the mind for a while. They stand their ground, though, holding out their hand towards it again. Gotta keep firm with this…]
* { i know you’re hurting. i’m not going to go away just because you attack me. }
* [Continued from here, closed w/ @ghastlygaster ]
* [The ceased wailing is a good sign, probably. They watch the beast warily, taking a tentative step forwards with an outstretched hand – palm up.]
* [Hopefully they won’t get attacked, but if they do… It’s just a projection, and they’ll keep trying. They seem determined about this.]
Refuge, a place she knew was a safe place she could rest. She could only hope that Flaps was home.
Panting and, with a grunt, Lucidia was barely even able to crawl, forcing herself to move to get closer to the space. There had to be someone there, theres always someone.
“F…Flaps? Someone…? A-Anyone!”
* { if you’re willing to show me that YOU specifically won’t act the way he did, then you’re fine. i just don’t want to chance leaving security that wide open again if i can do anything about it. }
{ * okay But Like, }
{ * He and I are completely different people. It’s kinda unfair to lump me in with him when he did what he did out of his own volition. In the end it was meant to get At Me anyway so… }
{ * But. Go ahead and up your security if it makes you feel better. }
* { the only reason I’m being harsh with you is because you killed the rat. that’s not something I’m going to just ignore. }
* { I understand you are different people, and I know he did it to fuck with you, but I can’t afford to take a lot of chances when things are this on edge around here. }
* { I won’t have you guilting me for it. }
{ * … }
{ * I suppose I can’t really apologize for his actions. Speaking for the dead, and all that.. }
{ * Well… I never really came around, anyway. Guess this works out for the both of us. }
{ * 😦 }
* { if you’re willing to show me that YOU specifically won’t act the way he did, then you’re fine. i just don’t want to chance leaving security that wide open again if i can do anything about it. }
* { i do. }
* { but i’m not going after you. you prove that you won’t be a threat to this home, i’ll permit you near here. but until then you and your counterpart don’t come near here without risking death on sight. }
* .
* you know usually i dont mind new followers but i’m really, REALLY not sure what to make of a guy that has “chickenfucker” as part of their url
PERSONALLY, I WOULD SEE THIS PERSON AS A HERO!!!!
NO ABSOLUTELY NOT, TUMBLR USER CHICKENFUCKERPAPYRUS IS NOT A HERO
BUT THE GUY WHO CHANGED HIS URL TO THAT SURE IS :]
* i will Take Your Word for that
* good to see you both btw 😛
{ * … }
{ * What a mess… }
[ * That attack seems to do the trick, Pathos’ skull being mushed into a slurry of dust and green ichor. After their host goes, so do the butterflies, popping and exploding that same ichor. ]
[ * Left behind is a blackened SOUL, it shuddering violently before disappearing with a loud POP. ]
[ * Adversary purified??? Wait, wrong game- ]
📝 [Whatever works.]
📝 [The ichor is quickly vanished, as if it had never happened – and Flaps is subsequently knocked out, presumably to be woken later on with very little recollection of the incident. For a little while, at least.]
📝 [Bye, Pathos…..]
[ * He doesn’t have much mobility outside of his own hands holding this reforming body up, and most of his concentration’s going towards the ones lodged in Flaps’ jaw bones. It’s pretty safe to say that he’s swept up in the lunge. ]
[ * But, ah, now you have those butterflies to contend with, and they’re starting to swarm him. The bone making up his face is where they decide to light, followed by a faint scratching sound. What is it they’re trying to do..? ]
{ * …That’s just playing dirty. You know exactly what they’re doing. }
[ * What? Trying to scrape away and eat the bone? Maybe. ]
📝 [NAUGHTY????]
📝 [Flaps doesn’t seem to be too focused on this swarm – he instead is Wholly Intent on crushing Pathos’ skull and any of that reforming body that he can. He’ll deal with the pest problem after – he’s gotten aware enough to be able to piece together that Hey, This Guy Started This, therefore, he dies first.]
📝 [MAYBE that’s a little too much. BUT! He sure is ripping at Pathos at this point. No mercy.]
📝 [Definitely safe to say that Pathos won’t be permitted to return when he inevitably comes back from this.]
