Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

Shadow Stephanie teleports back to where she was, looking for Amber.

"Yeah. It's a heart, right?" I ask, a little distracted from the intensity of the events.

 

She's sitting slumped against a tree, eyes shut.

"I mean... I don't know. You said I was running out of pardons, so I stopped doing what I do."

 

Shadow Stephanie grabs Amber and teleports back.


"Oh. Yeah you are." I say.

 

"The hell was that for?!" She grunts.


"Which is why I'm taking the slow way of gathering intel. So no, I don't know yet if that's the relic. But, you know who might? The dying dog that buried it."

 

"Getting you out of there." Shadow Stephanie says.


"Would Xlentia know?" I ask.

 

"So, 'curiosity killed the cat' actually comes from cats being killed by being curious?"


I take a seat near Amethyst, looking to what she does next.

 

Oh, dearie. x_x

Also, the story keeps going on and on and on, without any clear structure to break it up into smaller books. And just look at how many messages were added in the course of one w e e k .

 

....
Who knows?

 

"You done down there?"


"I would always say go ask Emerald instead. Xlentia's pretty much a titanic child."

"I don't know, but it could have. I mean, it's plausible."


She slowly stops being on fire, feeling around somewhat weakly for you.

Thing is, technically we're in the third arc out of four.

First goes from start to the first large-scale conflict with most of the fragments
Second goes up to freeing Xlentia
Third should go up to recovery and liberation of -redacted-
Fourth and final is the assault on Kralnaad and the aftermath



...and in a month I'm re-expanding the horizons into a cross-forum rp with an entire new world. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee(help me)

 

"Probably." Shadow Stephanie says, shrugging.


"Right, to Emerald it is then." I say, opening a portal to the void.

 

"I guess..."
Crystal mumbles, looking at the dog.

Taking another tree, I touch the web a bit.

 

"Hey... you mind me asking a question?"


Alice nods.
"You may want to announce the fighting robot tournament. Peridot holds everyone to their word, with no ability to sense sarcasm."

It's still sleeping, though it seems something's moving a bit on it.
"Hold on..." Linoa says, descending.

She bear-runs over, feeling it before shredding it with her claws.

 

"What're you gonna do?"
Crystal asks, looking to see if he can find the thing.

Thinking for a bit, I use my sword to etch 'Hello' into the rest of the tree before carefully placing it into the web.

 

There seems to be a person standing on the hound's head.
"I figure we should ask her about the giant dog."

She feels around before pausing.
"Why" she etches.

 

"Seems good to me."

I take a minute to gather more trees.
"My friends wanted a stone and have a shit approach of fighting before trying to communicate"
I send down.

 

"Depends. What's your question?" Shadow Stephanie asks.


"I've already made plans for that. Things should be ready for the tournament to be advertised." I say.

 

Linoa descends, waving. The girl waves back.
"Hey."
"Hi, how's it going?"
"Good. We were, uh... going to ask about your... dog."
"Oh, Max? He's a good boy."

"Not like it's easy without words"

"Who's side are you on?" She asks. "I don't mean to be rude... but some of my siblings have gone to serve the Hive Master. I don't see the differences on either side. Both call the other pure evil."


"That's great, because when I mean he holds people to their word I mean he has a tendency to relieve them of their homes if he thinks they're taking too long."

 

"Obviously the Hive Master's! I really want to become a mindless slave to a gigantic dripping asshole!" Shadow Stephanie says positively, though it's clear she's being extremely sarcastic.


"I'll give the green light to start advertising it then." I say, before stepping through the portal to the void.

 

Amber laughs.
"I've seen both sides of this coin. It's kind of funny how similar everyone is despite this chaos."


Alice nods, leaving.

You catch Sivius heading to the Realm of Shadows.
"Oh, hey. Congratulations on nabbing the third relic." He says in passing.

 

"Assholes want the other assholes dead? It's funny how wars work isn't it? Both sides want each other dead, how similar!" Shadow Stephanie says facetiously.


"You know about that already?" I ask.
