Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Raises my hand and slams it downward on the axe as it approaches, deflecting it into the ground below and sticking the blade into it*
We can be if you want to be?

@Stratocracy

*Grins*
Nah!
*Summersaults over, lurching the blade from the ground and swinging it at your neck with reckless abandon in both hands*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Nods*
Eh, be fast though, yeah?

@Stratocracy

Are you done yet?
*Swings an axe in your direction, spinning through the air with enough speed to appear as a saw blade*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Shrugs*
You have home field advantage?

@Stratocracy

*A series of sharpened, bleeding teeth loom over the both of us ready to snap*
I'm not from h—

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Looks down at my feet and back up to you*

@Stratocracy

*Walks toward you, disappointed*
Is that it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Thanks!
*Sidesteps off the guillotine as it slides away and back onto solid ground*

@Stratocracy

*Anything that touches it immediately sinks and gets locked in place like concrete*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Hops up and plants my feet on the side of the blade as it slams down*
I guess? Don’t really have much say in where I’m going, here.

@Stratocracy

You'd look good without those limbs.
*The guillotine opens up to reveal thousands of needles that shoot upward at your feet*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Yep!
*Lands gracefully outside the pit and looks toward Misty*

@Stratocracy

*Looks at you with a spark of recognition*
Back so soon?
*The ground twists itself into a horizontal guillotine that slices through your legs*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

She’s in deep. Real deep.

@Stratocracy

<Snipped quote by Stratocracy>

Did you find her? What's it going to take to pull her out?

@Legend Begins

*The ground below the two of you opens into a sinkhole, rimmed with sharpened, rusty blades*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*Stays rigid as I’m pulled upward, and flicks my wrist in a casual wave*
You’d better.

@Stratocracy

*Once you're out of sight and back on the surface, I sigh and place my fist on my cheek*
I hope not.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It wasn’t literal.
*Smirks*
Just a little jest.

@Stratocracy

Yeah, I know.
*Gravity inverts for a few moments before you shoot up into the sky along with your teacup*
See you next time.
