@Techspert

I don't feel like you've calmed down.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Inimical>

Yeah, I'm sure.
*Reinforces the cage*

@Techspert

Thanks for understanding.

*The edges of the cage begin to close in on themselves and I outstretch my hand toward the ship to search it for activity*
Shut up.

@Techspert

*Nothing is moving*
This is easier if you calm down.

*Creates a prison of electricity around you*
I'm not sure what you're going on about, but you should probably not try to leave.

@Techspert

There’s no need to be upset. You’re not going to end up hurt.

*Shoots a bolt through your heart*

@Techspert

*Another me falls out of my body and drops dead on the ground*
That’s all I needed.
*Looks at the news ships and Blue Moon, who was departing, and they now appear to be frozen in place*

*Morphs into a bolt of lightning and shoots through the closing door, reforming on the other side*
Someone's feeling lucky.

@Techspert

I’d imagined you would.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

Ooookay.

@Techspert

*Is looking at you through the crack, from a bit away from the door, right before it seals all the way*

“There will be an end to the tunnel. You’ll apreciate the work you put in to see the Sun again.”
Just the things I think of when I’m having a hard time and find myself trying to emotionally support someone else. Thought that was worth sharing, as well as my status of “still breathing.” Still not ready to return, lots of things to iron out, but I don’t want you all to ever think I’m going to abandon you, you hear?

You kids and your newfangled autosaves. In the games of my day, you can play the same thing over and over until you get it right.

@Fractured

The game is a zombie game (I know how much you love those), but it’s not the standard shoot-em-up and look cool while doing it kind of zombie game. It’s primarily about community-based survival, and people dying is supposed to be part of the experience. It wouldn’t be an authentic experience if you could just retry until everyone lives every time.
