Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"I'm going to gag her until she coughs up my damn staff!" Linoa says, frustrated.
Muffy spits out a burst of ice shards, Linoa turning her head away from them.
"Don't make this any harder than it already is, you..."

 

“Wouldn’t that be counter-productive? She needs an open mouth to cough up something.”

 

"She'll cough it up through a portal if I don't have someone hold her down."

 

“All right.”
I keep holding Muffy.

 

Linoa takes some kind of jack that looks like it should lift a wagon to replace a broken wheel... and uses it to hold Muffy's mouth open.

The metal bends a bit, but otherwise it does its job as Linoa pokes around Muffy's throat with a feather on a stick.


A minute of Muffy vomiting various objects and chemicals later, Linoa's staff finally gets shot out.
"Okay, you. Never again." Linoa grumbles, going over and wiping down her staff as Muffy bites down hard on the jack, collapsing it before spitting it out and looking at you pitifully.

"You can let her go now."

 

I pat her a bit before letting go, looking at the chemicals.

 

She glares at you, rubbing her head against your hand anyways.

Some of them are caustic and burn at the stone floor. Others are viscous, and one even acts as a liquid mirror. Linoa starts cleaning them all up before you can get a decent look at the others.

 

I don't seem to mind, staying near Muffy.
"So, where is everyone?"

 

"Do you really want to know?" Linoa asks, seeming to avoid making eye contact.

 

"Yeah. Are you scared that the robot is going to break down in tears?"

 

"No, I'm not sure you're even capable of crying."

 

"Don't worry."
Pause
"So, how is your new owner?"

 

"I've already been watching over some of your friends, but I can extend that to the wounded." Gaia says happily, her mood brightening

 

“I’m not. So tell me.”

 

"They're all off fighting. Xlentia ordered pretty much all of her reserves to try and help Gaia fight off the Hive Master.

Ihra smiles.
"Then I could ask for little more."

Sgavrinn seems even more confused, shrugging.

 

Gaia gives Ihra another hug, smiling.

"Well, your friends are waiting for you. You best be off." Gaia says happily.

 

"I need to warn Xlentia and Virei'tus anyways." Ihra says, nodding. "Thank you for everything."
Ihra looks for the portal out.

 

"Artemis. Did you meet her yet?"

 

He nods, drawing a heart on the ground.

 

It's still on the table, though too small for Ihra to fit through. The green crystal beside it may offer some help, however.
