Hey! At least let me out of this!

@Host

*Looking around*
Did none of you see…?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

What should we do, then? I don't know how long she's going to just stay there.

@Legend

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*after multiple short breathes I get up and walk up to you*
I can still help…

@Extra

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Probably because he doesn't know. Why would Dynamo have dumped that energy unless he could use it to protect himself??

@Host

I’m going-

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*at that very moment, you feel a tap on your shoulder, a slight electrical currentflows through you, tingling your spine*

???:You shouldnt be here.

@souleaterfan320

*Stops walking and whips around*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Follows behind you swapping my gaze between you and Artemis*
Please please don't turn your back on her.

@Legend

*Sternly*
I can see all of you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Then he would be protecting himself. But he isn't.

@Host

Then what does that say about his actual body’s ability to do anything whatsoever, at the moment? He can’t.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

How do you know that? I don't think that's true.

@Host

That’s completely what he does, isn’t it? He lives through projections of himself. Like Ridge, only his true self is normal.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Shakes my head and looks at her in fear*
No... it makes too much sense. She can absolutely do that.

@Legend

I-
*Furrows my brow, clenches my fist and walks past everyone, starting down the path to the room*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Everything here is a gamble. Getting Mierno out of that cage is our best chance at surviving. Don't take this last opportunity from us!

@Host

If he was capable of helping us, he could do it from inside the pod. It’s his entire function. We’re already on our own.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Pulls myself together*
We... Violet, she was the one who grabbed me in the pipe. She tried to kill me.

@Legend

I found her completely frozen over and hypothermic way too soon after we separated, that can’t make sense.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*looks at you then down at the ground*

@Extra

…
No more Alamos. You don’t touch anything. Yeah?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We have to at least try. He's a sitting duck down there, while you're being emotionally manipulated by some copy. Don't be so sentimental, Vi—this is exactly what I warned you she would do.

@Host

This is me making a call of my own volition. If that’s Mierno, I’m not killing him on a gamble. I’d rather shoulder the responsibility of what comes next. I’m not risking killing a friend, and it’s not because it’s me being emotionally manipulated, it’s because that’s who I am. Even the chance of that is not an option. Not to me.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I see that now…

@Extra

Lucky us, then, to be stuck in a simulation unknowingly, or I-
*Pinches the bridge of my nose and looks away*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I tried to stop Zinnia. I've done nothing but help you.

@Host

You wouldn’t listen to me!
*Leans against the wall with my hand and takes a deep breath*
If that really is Mierno in there, we can’t open that pod. He’s not able to operate from his actual body like that. He does projections of himself, or whatever. We might kill him.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Critical thinking? What critical thinking would give me the idea that it would just annihilate my home?! I don’t even know what to do anymore!

@Extra

Well, wiping us out right now will get your home annihilated anyway. Not the best outcome there either.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I thought fake Arty did it, but—

<Snipped quote by Extra>

*Looks at you with watery eyes*
...Zinnia? You did this to me?

@Legend
