Just wait and see. You'll be impressed.

@Memory

I already am, to be fair.

*Opens the doors to the lab gracefully and moves toward the source of conversations*
I'm so terribly sorry it took me so long to get ready. I wasn't expecting guests.

@Meta

Oh, no! Don’t mind us being here, really. I don’t want to get in anyone’s way.

*Snaps*
Best in all the worlds.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Huh. Amazing, I take it back, I was wrong.
*Listens, enamored with the lesson*
What if you knocked someone out before killing them? What would happen to their soul?

@Memory

*Narrows my eyes ever so slightly in thought*
… Scarily good. I give you scarily good.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

As weird as it is to say, that idea does give me some comfort. Better than this being who-knows-who.

@Legend

Looks like we’ll get to ask, too. These folks seem like a well oiled machine.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Shivers and rubs my arms*
What kind of nightmare world did she grow up in?

@Legend

Whatever the world was like under the thumb of that monster? I can only imagine.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I don't think I'd go that far... that's something I want to ask about when she gets back.

@Legend

I mean, there’s a chance she’s a clone just because of Dark Dynamo himself. I can see him being the type to take his anger out on underlings, but then needing to replace them because he went too far…
*Shudders*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

We also learned that she's a clone. Somehow.

@Legend

*Scratches my head*
A clone? So, are we saying Artemis is still back at your place, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Violet, please remind me to never ever never be a doctor.

@Legend

I, uhh…
*Skirts my gaze around the work to look back to you and nod*
Yeah. Feel that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*After a quick pause in the sterilizing chamber, we reach where the others are*

I'll return to keeping an eye on the corpse until your other friend gets here, then.

@Malevocholy

Thank you for that. It means a lot to me, to make sure he never wakes again.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*My face turns a pale shade of green*

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*Hushed*
Never been better.

@Legend

*Raises an eyebrow to your expression, looks past you, and immediately averts my attention elsewhere, scrunching my face up tightly*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*My eyes tear away from Dark Dynamo and I walk out the room*

*A door appears in front of you and opens to show me behind it*

Yes, your friends and the body are all here safely. Work has begun on reviving her. You're welcome to follow me if you wish, to where that's happening.

@Malevocholy

Oh!
*Hurriedly jogs to the door to follow you*
Of course. I hope it’s going well. Not sure how much I missed.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I don't want to be the reason any of you get hurt. And forcing the issue would be doing just that.

@Yatagarasu

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

Is it really that much better to hurt her in the long run? Or let her hurt herself in the short term?

@Memory

*Steps through the fissure and looks around*
… Everyone make it through?
