SHADOW THERAPY :OOO

[Mithos]

I am the shadow, the true self.

and Chrome is being brilliant and having Philemon hand out shadow encounters in the ICC. Confronting them successfully gives you an Arcana and a Persona to use in battles, to overcome life's adversity.

14 May 13, 05:49 PM
Judgment: The power of the Judgment Arcana awakens within Mithos!

14 May 13, 05:48 PM
: -at that moment, a card appears in mithos' hands, bathing the area in radiant light-

14 May 13, 05:48 PM
Shadow Mithos: -and then- -mithos' shadow fades away into him-

14 May 13, 05:47 PM
Shadow Mithos: -there is the sound of chains falling to the floor even though none can be seen-

14 May 13, 05:47 PM
Shadow Mithos: Mithos... let's make her proud.

14 May 13, 05:46 PM
Shadow Mithos: No matter what happens.

14 May 13, 05:46 PM
Shadow Mithos: ...

14 May 13, 05:46 PM
Mithos: For Martel's sake - and for ours. Let's move on together.

14 May 13, 05:45 PM
Mithos: I... think I am.

14 May 13, 05:45 PM
Shadow Mithos: ...Are you ready to move on with me?

14 May 13, 05:44 PM
Shadow Mithos: You admit that you made that mistake.

14 May 13, 05:40 PM
Mithos: I haven't given up on my friends here... but I gave up on ever moving on.

14 May 13, 05:38 PM
Shadow Mithos: And I never will. Really, you shouldn't underestimate yourself.

14 May 13, 05:38 PM
Shadow Mithos: Chained, but always there. I never gave up.

14 May 13, 05:35 PM
Mithos: ...You really are me, aren't you? It must have been... frustrating, to be chained down like this.

14 May 13, 05:34 PM
Shadow Mithos: I can't help being myself.

14 May 13, 05:31 PM
Mithos: Heh... and if you're me, you would know that's the best way to make me even consider it.

14 May 13, 05:28 PM
Shadow Mithos: For her sake... we must become.

14 May 13, 05:27 PM
Shadow Mithos: But Martel is as much a part of you as I am.

14 May 13, 05:27 PM
Shadow Mithos: ...So am I.

14 May 13, 05:26 PM
Mithos: ...I'm scared.

14 May 13, 05:26 PM
Mithos: But... what will I be, if I let go? If I stop holding on to Martel, to what I've done...

14 May 13, 05:25 PM
Mithos: That... that's it, isn't it? It must be so much easier to just... stop clinging and move on.

14 May 13, 05:23 PM
Shadow Mithos: Now let me grow up. Please, that's all I really want.

14 May 13, 05:23 PM
Shadow Mithos: We can treasure the past... remember it, but we can never let it be an anchor.

14 May 13, 05:22 PM
Shadow Mithos: We'll pick ourselves back up, and move on.

14 May 13, 05:22 PM
Shadow Mithos: It's time to stop using our failure as an excuse for who we are.

14 May 13, 05:21 PM
Shadow Mithos: You're living in the past Mithos.

14 May 13, 05:18 PM
Mithos: Don't... don't mock me! I tried to change before! And suddenly, because you say it, it'll be different?

14 May 13, 05:16 PM
Shadow Mithos: Are you ready Mithos?

14 May 13, 05:16 PM
Shadow Mithos: -looks him right in the eye-

14 May 13, 05:15 PM
Shadow Mithos: The question isn't if we can't... it's if we're ready.

14 May 13, 05:15 PM
Shadow Mithos: But deep down we want the change. We want to become more.

14 May 13, 05:14 PM
Shadow Mithos: We got older, but we always stayed the same.

14 May 13, 05:14 PM
Shadow Mithos: Doubt... is one of the first parts of growing up into who we want to be.

14 May 13, 05:14 PM
Shadow Mithos: Our childhood never ended Mithos.

14 May 13, 05:13 PM
Shadow Mithos: -drifts down and lands in front of him, cutting him off with a slap to the face-

14 May 13, 04:57 PM
Mithos: And I didn't care, I never had to care, I just had to keep moving forward -

14 May 13, 04:56 PM
Mithos: I'm not... I... it's been so long since I did the right thing.

14 May 13, 04:55 PM
Mithos: A legacy... but what if I fail? What if I can't change?

14 May 13, 04:50 PM
Shadow Mithos: Remember me. Remember her. Remember.

14 May 13, 04:49 PM
Shadow Mithos: -clenches his hands into fists-

14 May 13, 04:48 PM
Shadow Mithos: Because she'll be a part of me.

14 May 13, 04:48 PM
Shadow Mithos: As long as I remember myself, she will never die.

14 May 13, 04:47 PM
Shadow Mithos: And I am her legacy.

14 May 13, 04:47 PM
Shadow Mithos: Yes. She was more than a sister... when I had no mother, she acted as one.

14 May 13, 04:47 PM
Mithos: ...My... sister?

14 May 13, 04:45 PM
Shadow Mithos: I'll carry that faith with me until I die.

14 May 13, 04:44 PM
Shadow Mithos: I won't dissapoint her. I will carry on, and even if I forget myself, I'll find a way to remember.

14 May 13, 04:43 PM
Shadow Mithos: Because my sister lives on in me.

14 May 13, 04:40 PM
Mithos: Even if you are some... some fragment of myself, why would you possibly decide to believe in me?

14 May 13, 04:40 PM
Mithos: ...

14 May 13, 04:38 PM
Shadow Mithos: Accept me!

14 May 13, 04:38 PM
Shadow Mithos: Mithos! I won't give up on myself!

14 May 13, 04:38 PM
Shadow Mithos: I've been betrayed... but I won't stop trusting.

14 May 13, 04:37 PM
Shadow Mithos: -spreads his own set of wings and hovers up above mithos-

14 May 13, 04:37 PM
Shadow Mithos: I've fallen... but I can be reborn.

14 May 13, 04:37 PM
Mithos: Shut up! You... you can't possibly be me!

14 May 13, 04:36 PM
Mithos: ...Stop it!

14 May 13, 04:34 PM
Shadow Mithos: Who am I? I remember. My name is Mithos Yggdrasil.

14 May 13, 04:33 PM
Shadow Mithos: I am the memory of a forgotten dream.

14 May 13, 04:29 PM
Mithos: That... that can't be.

14 May 13, 04:28 PM
Shadow Mithos: I can't. You are me.

14 May 13, 04:24 PM
Mithos: ...Get away from me.

14 May 13, 04:23 PM
Shadow Mithos: You keep telling yourself that.

14 May 13, 04:22 PM
Shadow Mithos: -reaches out and touches mithos on the shoulder-

14 May 13, 04:19 PM
Mithos: -takes an uncertain step back- The true self...? How could you become me? You're just an illusion!

14 May 13, 04:17 PM
Shadow Mithos: -steps forwards towards mithos, determination showing in his eyes-

14 May 13, 04:16 PM
Shadow Mithos: And you... you are not what I want to become.

14 May 13, 04:16 PM
Shadow Mithos: I am a Shadow. The true self.

14 May 13, 04:13 PM
Mithos: What... what are you talking about?

14 May 13, 04:03 PM
Mithos?: And... it's the part of me that wants to change.

14 May 13, 04:03 PM
Mithos?: Since that day, part of me has never changed.

14 May 13, 04:03 PM
Mithos?: I've changed a lot. So much has happened. But in here, I've stayed the very same.

14 May 13, 04:03 PM
Mithos: ...

14 May 13, 04:02 PM
Mithos: You... whoever you are, you don't know anything about me. Drop the illusion and show yourself! -mentos- -mentos pls-

14 May 13, 04:02 PM
Mithos?: It's no wonder Martel didn't recognize me.

14 May 13, 04:02 PM
Mithos?: I've become so bitter...

14 May 13, 04:01 PM
Mithos: Don't mock me.

14 May 13, 04:00 PM
Mithos?: And I know it, don't I?

14 May 13, 04:00 PM
Mithos?: But those are only one side of me.

14 May 13, 03:59 PM
Mithos: ...

14 May 13, 03:58 PM
Mithos?: To myself, I am all of these things.

14 May 13, 03:58 PM
Mithos?: The Fugitive... The Neglected... The Judged.

14 May 13, 03:57 PM
Mithos: ...What is this? Who are you?

14 May 13, 03:56 PM
Mithos: ... -what- -loki is this you-

14 May 13, 03:54 PM
Mithos?: -was standing in the spot right in front of where mithos appeared- -before he was even there-

14 May 13, 03:52 PM
Castagnier: -gets up and goes into the TARDIS to rest-

14 May 13, 03:49 PM
Mithos: -teleports in-

13 May 13, 11:34 AM
Philemon: Until next time... farewell~

13 May 13, 11:34 AM
Philemon: He's inside the TARDIS, facing his own shadow.

Madoka: -yoggy you're such a stick in the cosmic mud of reality- -you never let me do anything B(-

13 May 13, 11:29 AM
'Umr at-Tawil: -BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO-

13 May 13, 11:28 AM
Philemon: An extra parting gift... to make up for your expense at the hands of my counterpart.

13 May 13, 11:28 AM
Clara Oswald: -shut up dave- -you already have powers-

13 May 13, 11:28 AM
Madoka: It's really nice to see people face themselves, and overcome their flaws... it's a great way of working, Philemon! -maaan why can't I do cool shit-

13 May 13, 11:28 AM
Dave Strider: *wait* *powers* *you said nothing to that effect to me*

13 May 13, 11:27 AM
Philemon: -oh and also yes- -you may in fact- -have powers now-

13 May 13, 11:26 AM

Clara Oswald: -nope- -i've been in the same room as modern!clara before- -it's all good-

13 May 13, 11:25 AM
Philemon: -aren't you going to question- -that I asked you- -to go into the same room with her- -:]-

13 May 13, 11:25 AM
Philemon: I merely suggested it for the novelty.

13 May 13, 11:23 AM
Clara Oswald: And the message? -does she get cool powers too or-

13 May 13, 11:22 AM
Philemon: Yes. Do it in person, if you like.

13 May 13, 11:19 AM
Clara Oswald: -inhales slowly- -whooa what is that- -and yup echoing when she exhales- -and looks expectantly at Philemon- Yes?

13 May 13, 11:19 AM
Philemon: Which I am.

13 May 13, 11:18 AM
Philemon: I would pass a message along to Oswin later, if I were you.

13 May 13, 11:18 AM
Philemon: -in fact- -not just clara- -it echoes outward-

13 May 13, 11:17 AM
Philemon: -and just like that- -there appears to be a new power awakened within clara-

13 May 13, 11:16 AM
Philemon: Accepting yourself... but above all, the realization that you have a family.

13 May 13, 11:16 AM
Philemon: You did the real work yourself. A true showing of Temperance.

13 May 13, 11:15 AM
Clara Oswald: -oh- -rises, looking between Madoka and Philemon- This....you did that? -oh wow everything suddenly- -makes sense- -CAN I KILL PITCH NOW-

13 May 13, 11:15 AM

Philemon: I think he means me.

13 May 13, 11:13 AM
Dave Strider: Philemon. Did the same thing to me yesterday.

13 May 13, 11:13 AM
Madoka: -appears- That was wonderful, Clara! -madoka you just- -creep on these and critique philemon's technique don't you-

13 May 13, 11:12 AM
Clara Oswald: ...He? -WHO DID THIS i think i need to thank them-

13 May 13, 11:12 AM
Dave Strider: He sure knows how to make people face themselves, huh? *Floats over*

Clara Oswald: -opens her eyes- -oh- -they're gone- -just sort of- -slumps a little, taking a shaky breath- -wow-

Shadow Oswin: -the three girls-

13 May 13, 11:09 AM
Shadow Clara: -slowly, smiling all the while-

13 May 13, 11:09 AM
Dave Strider: *Spots this on his way out of the kitchen, aj bottle in hand* *and smiles to himself*

Clara Oswald: -shadow group hug let's go-

13 May 13, 11:06 AM
Shadow Oswin: ... -tears come to her eyes and her smile spreads- -rushing forward and hugging clara most tightly of all-

13 May 13, 11:06 AM
Clara Oswald: ...Of course. -gently- -and that was- -answering all of them-

13 May 13, 11:05 AM
Clara Oswald: -smiles, wrapping an arm around Shadow!Clara's shoulders- -and Shadow!Oswald- -oh wait- -unwraps an arm, slowly extending it towards Shadow!Oswin-

13 May 13, 11:05 AM
Shadow Oswin: Does that mean... you'll accept me too?

13 May 13, 11:04 AM
Shadow Oswin: -hesitates- -looking down at her feet-

13 May 13, 11:04 AM
Shadow Oswald: Can you show me what sort of a person I am?

13 May 13, 11:04 AM
Shadow Oswald: ... -walks forwards as well- -joining in the hug-

13 May 13, 11:04 AM
Shadow Clara: Then... I can be like you? You make me feel safe... I'd like to do that for other people.

13 May 13, 11:03 AM
Shadow Clara: ... -slowly wraps her arms around clara- -looking up at her hopefully-

13 May 13, 11:02 AM
Clara Oswald: ...I think I'm all of you. Or you're all me, just...different parts.

13 May 13, 11:02 AM
Shadow Oswald: Am I like you?

13 May 13, 11:01 AM
Shadow Oswin: Are you like me?

13 May 13, 11:01 AM
Shadow Clara: Are you me?

13 May 13, 11:00 AM
Clara Oswald: I...

13 May 13, 10:59 AM
Shadow Oswald: Do you know who you are? Can you tell us?

13 May 13, 10:59 AM
Clara Oswald: ...Yes? -WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME THAT-

13 May 13, 10:59 AM
Shadow Oswald: Miss Montague...

13 May 13, 10:59 AM
Shadow Oswald: You're both similar. And I'm like both of you... but... without you, I don't know how to gauge myself.

13 May 13, 10:59 AM
Clara Oswald: -ahahah no stop i know that's true- -just- -looks at the ground thinking- -oh wow clara you've never had to confront this have you :]-

Shadow Clara: But... but I can act like you sometimes. When I get angry, we're nearly the same? -timidly-

13 May 13, 10:57 AM
Shadow Oswin: They blame me for everything, just for being the way I am. And you do too.

13 May 13, 10:57 AM
Shadow Oswin: -glares- -a note of sass returning to her voice-

13 May 13, 10:56 AM
Clara Oswald: Box? What box? You keep talking about a box, but I've got no idea what it is. -just- -avoiding the other topic :]-

13 May 13, 10:56 AM
Shadow Oswin: It's the place I made to be safe from THEM! Don't say that my home is scary...

13 May 13, 10:55 AM
Shadow Clara: So you put us in the box? That... that place is scary...

13 May 13, 10:55 AM
Shadow Oswin: At least you two have eachother! I can't even be in the same room for too long!

13 May 13, 10:54 AM
Shadow Oswald: Only one of us can be real, she means. We can't all be the same person.

13 May 13, 10:53 AM
Castagnier: -gets up and goes into the TARDIS to try and sleep-

13 May 13, 10:52 AM
Clara Oswald: -just- -lowers her hands to release Oswin- ....what d'you mean, pick?

13 May 13, 10:51 AM
Shadow Oswald: ...But then who is going to pick us?

Shadow Oswin: -is actually tearing up a little-

13 May 13, 10:50 AM
Clara Oswald: ...but, if you're all shadows of me, we're all the same.

13 May 13, 10:50 AM
Shadow Clara: Why can't we get along...? -talking to her teddy bear-

13 May 13, 10:50 AM
Clara Oswald: -.....- -stop being right shadow oswin-

13 May 13, 10:49 AM
Clara Oswald: -bitch this is a new dress fuck you-

13 May 13, 10:49 AM
Shadow Clara: -huddles behind clara- We all have the same name... Clara Oswin Oswald... but we're all different.

13 May 13, 10:49 AM
Shadow Oswin: You're blaming me! That isn't fair!

13 May 13, 10:49 AM
Shadow Oswin: -is restrained- -but spits at clara's dress-

13 May 13, 10:48 AM
Clara Oswald: I had to stay behind! Would've had to for the rest of my life while you were out doing everything I was supposed to do, if the Doctor hadn't shown up!

13 May 13, 10:48 AM
Castagnier: -its totally easy- -i'll prove it-

13 May 13, 10:48 AM
Clara Oswald: -WHOA KID- -instinctively reaches out to hold her back- No! No, I don't! -snarling now- D'you know what happened to me, just because you were here?

13 May 13, 10:47 AM
Shadow Oswald: Stop it! -runs forwards- -trying to hold her sister back-

13 May 13, 10:47 AM
Shadow Oswin: I'm Clara too! I'm still Clara!

13 May 13, 10:47 AM
Shadow Oswin: You... you... you don't love me! -rushes at clara- -swinging her little fists-

13 May 13, 10:47 AM
Clara Oswald: Because I'm me! I'm Clara!

13 May 13, 10:46 AM
Rumpelstiltskin: -oh yeah just- -stop using magic- -SO EASY :]-

13 May 13, 10:46 AM
Shadow Oswin: Yes! -snaps- Why wouldn't you want to be like me? Why are you afraid of being me?

13 May 13, 10:46 AM
Castagnier: -...right after I get to rip out someone's heart-

13 May 13, 10:45 AM
Castagnier: -i'll just stop using my magic!!- -easy peasy lemon squeezy solution-

13 May 13, 10:44 AM
Clara Oswald: -also guys obviously we can't figure this out until this sunday- -snaps at Oswin- Why?! Why should I be anything like you? What, because you got here first?

Rumpelstiltskin: -THEY'LL JUST GROW BACK :]-

13 May 13, 10:43 AM
Shadow Oswald: No... you two... can't we just figure this out?

13 May 13, 10:43 AM
Clara Oswald: -rumpel pls you touch my kid i'LL RIP YOUR EYES OUT-

13 May 13, 10:43 AM
Shadow Oswin: -laughs- You're supposed to be more like me!

13 May 13, 10:43 AM
Shadow Clara: Everyone tells me I'm Clara. But then they say I'm like someone else... like I'm supposed to be different.

13 May 13, 10:42 AM
Rumpelstiltskin: -yEAH YOU ARE :]-

13 May 13, 10:42 AM
Castagnier: -shut up rumpel no i'm not-

Clara Oswald: I... -oh god- -soflty- I don't know. I don't know, I thought I was just Clara 'til I came here! -wow maybe i should've just stayed dead-

13 May 13, 10:40 AM
Rumpelstiltskin: -lol cast- -of course you're going to end up betraying clara :]-

13 May 13, 10:40 AM
Shadow Oswald: But... I'm the real Shadow aren't I? I just... wish I knew which one of us was real! Who are we? Who is Clara... Oswin... Oswald?

13 May 13, 10:40 AM
Clara Oswald: ...But, you're Oswin. -ahaha wow you really are oswin- -i knew she was a bitch-

13 May 13, 10:39 AM
Shadow Clara: I thought I was her Shadow... I just want to be safe... and for everyone else to be safe too. I don't mind just being given other people's hand-me-downs... I'm not worth anything better.

13 May 13, 10:38 AM
Dave Strider: *lolnope* *Heads into the kitchen to* *find some aj*

13 May 13, 10:38 AM
Castagnier: -mOM this doesn't involve you- -go away i can deal with this on my own-

13 May 13, 10:38 AM
Shadow Oswin: Because I'm you. I'm your Shadow... can't you tell? I'm the best at everything! I should have the highest number, not be stuck in the middle!

13 May 13, 10:38 AM
Clara Oswald: -cast i swear to god i have enough shit to deal with right now-

13 May 13, 10:37 AM
Castagnier: -looks away, idly fidgetting- -clara's got this handled m'sure- -thinks about what lucifer was talking about earlier- -the corruption of his soul- -he'd never betray clara for power... would he?-

13 May 13, 10:37 AM
Clara Oswald: Shh. -yep just gonna- -try and comfort shadow!clara because lol this one's actually me- -and looks at Oswin and Oswald- ...you've both got your own, why're you so concerned with hers?

Shadow Oswald: ... -looks between the two- -looking worried-

13 May 13, 10:35 AM
Shadow Oswin: ... -stamps her foot and glowers at everyone-

13 May 13, 10:35 AM
Shadow Clara: ... -bursts into more tears-

13 May 13, 10:34 AM
Clara Oswald: -frowns- Rose's got her own. She doesn't need him anymore. -clara pls- -you look insane-

13 May 13, 10:33 AM
Shadow Oswald: -clings tighter to eleven- -backing away in obvious intimidation-

Clara Oswald: -OH GOD THERE'S THREE OF THEM- -wow oswin pls- She...She's got her own bear, why she should be telling you it's not yours? -OH- -suddenly the numbers make sense-

13 May 13, 10:33 AM
Shadow Oswin: -turns sharply to oswald- It's all HER fault! She took MY bear!

13 May 13, 10:33 AM
Shadow Oswin: And you ran away! Like a baby! And I'm telling the truth- read the sticker! You took it from that Rose girl!

13 May 13, 10:32 AM
Shadow Clara: It was her... she was picking on me... told me my bear belonged to someone else.

13 May 13, 10:32 AM
Castagnier: -kind of- -gets up and slinks over closer to Dave- -nope nope nope not getting involved in this-

13 May 13, 10:31 AM
Shadow Oswald: They're fighting again... why are you always fighting?

13 May 13, 10:31 AM
Dave Strider: *i'd intervene* *and help sort out this clusterfuck* *but this is clearly philemon's handiwork so lolnope*

13 May 13, 10:31 AM
Shadow Oswald: -creeps out from behind a corner- -holding a teddy bear with- -you guessed it- -'ELEVEN' written on the middle- -she looks worriedly at her sisters-

13 May 13, 10:31 AM
Clara Oswald: -WHOA- -quickly draws her hand back- Now. What exactly's the problem here? -just- -casually playing mediator to my shadow selves nbd-

13 May 13, 10:29 AM
Shadow Oswin: -huddles up even tighter- -sobbing her eyes out-

13 May 13, 10:29 AM
Shadow Clara: -gets forced back- -but then tries to bite clara's fingers-

13 May 13, 10:29 AM
Clara Oswald: W...Wait, hang on, stop! -just gonna- -try and separate them- -clara no-

13 May 13, 10:28 AM
Castagnier: -what-

13 May 13, 10:28 AM
Shadow Clara/Oswin/WTF: You're not good enough to be Oswin!

13 May 13, 10:28 AM
Dave Strider: ... *what* *the fuck*

13 May 13, 10:28 AM
Clara Oswald: -WELP THIS IS SKEEVY- -just- -stares, unsure of what the fuck to do- -is modern!clara going to come in here too-

13 May 13, 10:28 AM
Shadow Clara: No! I'm Clara! And you're not Oswin either!

13 May 13, 10:27 AM
Shadow Oswin: Ow! I thought I was Clara this time- OWWWW! -starts crying- -trying to pull back-

13 May 13, 10:27 AM
Shadow Oswin: Oswin! Why did you run away again!? You always run away!

13 May 13, 10:27 AM
Shadow Oswin: -a very beautiful- -but bossy-looking girl walks in holding her own teddy bear- -this one has a large 'TEN' on it's chest- -she marches over to the girl and pulls on her hair-

13 May 13, 10:27 AM
Clara Oswald: Well. -smiles faintly- That's not very nice of your sister, is it? But there's no other box besides the TARDIS here, and I'm sure there won't be anytime soon.

13 May 13, 10:25 AM
Shadow Clara: No... the box is different. That's where my sister puts me when she wants me gone. -sobs-

13 May 13, 10:24 AM
Clara Oswald: ...D'you mean the TARDIS? -ice governess pls- You haven't got to go, not if you don't want to. -clara stop treating her like a normal child- -even though you're hoping she is-

13 May 13, 10:22 AM
Shadow Clara: It's cold. I don't like the cold... -she shivers-

13 May 13, 10:22 AM
Clara Oswald: N...No, that's...I'm Clara. -oh- -snap- -what is going on- -CAST STAY AWAY-

13 May 13, 10:22 AM
Clara Oswald: -what-

13 May 13, 10:21 AM
Shadow Clara: ... please don't put me back in the box, Miss Montague...

13 May 13, 10:21 AM
Clara Oswald: -SYMBOLISM- -but nope still not me can't be me- -soft smile- Are you lost, dear? -clara no- -just run-

13 May 13, 10:20 AM
Shadow Clara: -keeps hugging the teddy bear closer- -the bear is old and ragged- -and has a large number 'NINE' on it's chest- -she looks up at clara fearfully-

13 May 13, 10:19 AM
Castagnier: -shifts uncomfortably-

13 May 13, 10:18 AM
Clara Oswald: Cast. Stay here. -firmly- -gets to her feet, slowly approaching- -that- -can't be me- -as a child- -nope- -some other child- ...Hello? -a little more gently- -and approaching now-

13 May 13, 10:18 AM
Castagnier: ...?

13 May 13, 10:17 AM
Clara Oswald: -whaaaaat-

13 May 13, 10:17 AM
Shadow Clara: Crying at all is not allowed… not in my castle on a cloud…

13 May 13, 10:17 AM
Shadow Clara: I know a place where no-one’s lost… I know a place where no-one cries…

13 May 13, 10:17 AM
Shadow Clara: -a little girl is huddled up behind the TARDIS- -cradling a teddy bear- -her eyes puffy and her cheeks red from crying- -singing to herself all alone-

13 May 13, 10:16 AM
Castagnier: .... -just kind of begins concentrating his negative emotions- -juuuust in case he needs to use his magic-

13 May 13, 10:15 AM
Clara Oswald: -draws Cast a little closer just in case- -thiiiis seems skeevy-

[Clara Oswin Oswald]

And Nine's!

14 May 13, 11:38 AM
: -the cards just- -sort of dissapear- -but their essence remains within nine and clara-

14 May 13, 11:38 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: Could call him a friend. -reaches up to rest a hand on Hlin's head as she lowers it- He offered me help going after Pitch. Guess this is what he meant.

14 May 13, 11:36 AM
Ninth Doctor: -gestures up at the glowing ice tiger-

14 May 13, 11:36 AM
Ninth Doctor: ...Philemon? -looks puzzled- I think you have some explaining to do.

14 May 13, 11:36 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: Philemon. -he definitely mentioned temperance yesterday-

14 May 13, 11:35 AM
Tower: The power of the Tower Arcana awakens within Nine!

14 May 13, 11:35 AM
Fluffy: -what-

14 May 13, 11:35 AM
Hlin: -raises her head- -ohey philemon-

14 May 13, 11:34 AM
Ninth Doctor: -looks down at his in surprise-

14 May 13, 11:34 AM
Temperance: The power of the Temperance Arcana awakens within Clara!

14 May 13, 11:33 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -just- -buries her face in the crook of his neck- -oh wait- -cards?- -looks out, taking hers- -headtilt-

14 May 13, 11:33 AM
: -and two cards descend into their hands from above-

14 May 13, 11:32 AM
: -a strange energy appears around clara and the doctor-

14 May 13, 11:32 AM
Shadow Nine: ... -slowly turns to light and dissapears-

14 May 13, 11:31 AM
Ninth Doctor: This is me... and that's alright.

14 May 13, 11:31 AM
Ninth Doctor: -turns slowly while holding them close-

14 May 13, 11:31 AM
Fluffy: -hugs back as best as he can so- -curling his tail around nine's neck-

14 May 13, 11:30 AM
Clara Oswald: -hangs back off to the side- -good for you guys- -faint smile-

14 May 13, 11:30 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -yes group hug good- -wraps her arms around his neck tightly- -thank god you're not dead-

14 May 13, 11:29 AM
Ninth Doctor: -smiles- -and then hugs clara and fluffy both- -2.0 group hug-

14 May 13, 11:28 AM
Hlin: -growls questioningly- -um do you guys want me to kill this thing or not-

14 May 13, 11:28 AM
Fluffy: Surely you think at least I would understand how difficult it is to banish any kind of emotions, especially such strong ones.

14 May 13, 11:27 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -NINE STOP DOING THESE THINGS WHEN I TAKE YOUR HAND GOD- Don't be.

14 May 13, 11:27 AM
Fluffy: Why are you apologizing?

14 May 13, 11:27 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -just- -grabs his hand, squeezing it tightly- -it's okay-

14 May 13, 11:27 AM
Ninth Doctor: -turns away- I'm sorry, everyone.

14 May 13, 11:26 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: -glances back- Goodbye, Emil.

14 May 13, 11:26 AM
Ninth Doctor: I wish I didn't. I wish I could be better than these feelings. But... they are there.

14 May 13, 11:26 AM
Eris: -if you ordered me to- -I'd have to at least try-

14 May 13, 11:25 AM
Ninth Doctor: I'm sorry I hid you from everyone. I never wanted any of you to see it, but... sometimes I do feel like he says.

14 May 13, 11:25 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: ..-oh wait was that cast- ... -did he just leave the crisis- -welp-

14 May 13, 11:25 AM
Fluffy: -leans in and tries to cuddle him comfortingly- -best use of fluffy fur-

14 May 13, 11:24 AM
Emil Castagnier: Whoops, I just remembered I have something I need to do! Bye! -hugs Eris, then shadow rifts out-

14 May 13, 11:24 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: -slight laugh- I'm sure there's little you two can't do. -oh sure eris- -um- -go kill hazama for me nbd???-

14 May 13, 11:24 AM
Ninth Doctor: -turns over and glances at everyone- -also reaching up to pet fluffy-

14 May 13, 11:24 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -follows Nine, motioning for the other Clara to follow her-

14 May 13, 11:24 AM
Clara Oswald: -returns the smile with one of her own, tinged with worry- -pls be careful Doctor-

14 May 13, 11:23 AM
Ninth Doctor: You're right... and you're wrong as well.

14 May 13, 11:23 AM
Castagnier: -glances at Eris, Emil and Sarafine, then goes outside-

14 May 13, 11:23 AM
Hlin: -oh or that- -that's even better- -just remains near it, obviously just in case it tries something with Nine nearby-

14 May 13, 11:23 AM
Fluffy: -teleports to nine's shoulder-

14 May 13, 11:23 AM
Hlin: -pins the shadow down with a paw, looking over at Nine expectantly-

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Shadow Nine: -remains pinned- -impaled to the wall as if crucified by sharpened spears of ice-

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Castagnier: *hERE

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Clara Oswald: -Clara we need to have a talk after this- -srsly what is going on-

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -oh or not-

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -quickly steals to Nine's other side, grabbing his hand and squeezing it tightly-

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Castagnier: -hesitates- -wow I so don't belong her- -glances at Clara, then slips out of the TARDIS-

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Ninth Doctor: -turns to the other clara and smiles unconvincingly- -then, slowly he pulls away, heading over to where the shadow is pinned- -looking rather pale and uneven on his feet-

14 May 13, 11:22 AM
Fluffy: You shouldn't tell us such obvious lies. Of course the Doctor cares for us! Otherwise how could we even be here?

14 May 13, 11:21 AM
Hlin: -bLASTS the shadow with more ice, remaining protectively in front of Clara and co.-

14 May 13, 11:21 AM
Eris: -glances at Emil- -then Sarafine- -blinks but- -doesn't say anything-

Eris: -hey Sarafine- -you should really give me more to do- -it would keep me from going and trying to socialize with the other casters :]-

14 May 13, 11:20 AM
Emil Castagnier: No you wouldn't! But we'd find out anyways. -small grin-

14 May 13, 11:20 AM
Shadow Nine: -and then SLAMMED- AAAAAAGH! -this isn't how these things usually go-

14 May 13, 11:20 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: -thnx eris :]- ... -gives emil a faint smile- I know. -pause- ...I care about you too. And if...anything was wrong, I'd tell you. -lol that last part- -total lie-

14 May 13, 11:20 AM
Shadow Nine: -writhes around- -dragging itself across the floor with broken bits of ice sticking out of it- -glowering and seething with fury-

14 May 13, 11:19 AM
Hlin: -roars again, leaping forward to slam the now loose Shadow against the TARDIS wall- -hlin how are you even moving in here you're hUGE-

14 May 13, 11:19 AM
Fluffy: I would think we all do. -still here- -still confused-

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Clara Oswald: -helps him up, staying by his side-

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Hlin: -and mORE SHARDS right in tandem with Clara's words-

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Eris: -gives her a skeptical look- -I can tell that's not true :c- -but- -at least I'm more subtle about it than Emil :]-

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Ninth Doctor: Yes! She does!

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Ninth Doctor: -slowly stands-

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: Liar!

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Shadow Nine: -and gets- -blasted off the console by ice-

14 May 13, 11:18 AM
Shadow Nine: YOU MEAN NOTHING TO HIM!

14 May 13, 11:17 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -well- -this is- -kinda cool-

14 May 13, 11:17 AM
Emil Castagnier: Well, I care about you! I want you to be safe and happy.

14 May 13, 11:17 AM
Clara Oswald: -wHAT- -continues to cling to Nine- ... -quietly- it doesn't matter what that thing says. We all know better.

14 May 13, 11:17 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: There's nothing wrong. -attempted casualness but- -its a little off- Honestly, you two worry too much.

14 May 13, 11:16 AM
Hlin: -growls at the Shadow- -fuck you i'm a persona- -and whOOPS SHIELD IN FRONT OF CLARA :]- -roars, sending enormous shards of ice flying at the Shadow-

14 May 13, 11:16 AM
Ninth Doctor: -watches- -a little in awe at all this-

14 May 13, 11:16 AM
Castagnier: -kinda just- -stays by M!Clara and co.- -Clara's a badass, she can handle this-

14 May 13, 11:16 AM
Shadow Nine: -waves another tentacle clara's way- -this time sending lightning crackling towards her-

14 May 13, 11:15 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -okay- -giant tiger- -cool- Because without him, I'd have nothing! -everything suddenly feels more safe when you have a giant tiger-

14 May 13, 11:15 AM
Fluffy: ... -cLARA WHAT-

Shadow Nine: AND WHAT IS THAT TIGER DOING HERE!?

Emil Castagnier: -akjsl cbox stop it pls-

Shadow Nine: WHY DO YOU SHILED HIM!?

14 May 13, 11:15 AM
Hlin: -appears out of the blue light- -hello friends- -no need to be alarmed just an 8-foot tall tiger gLOWING BLUE-

14 May 13, 11:15 AM
Menma Namikaze: Are you okay Sarafine? You shold really try to take it easy today.

14 May 13, 11:14 AM
Shadow Nine: -trembling with rage now- -fixated on clara-

14 May 13, 11:14 AM
Castagnier: -wait what- Kyubey? -eyes Fluffy confused-

Clara Oswin Oswald: -ohey this is probably- -what philemon was talking about- -OKAY- -smirk- -bRING IT ON SHADOW-

Sarafine Duchannes: -oh yeah- -sorry about them :]- ...Hm? -distractedly turns back to eris- I - yes, of course. -i keep getting asked that today-

14 May 13, 11:13 AM
Shadow Nine: ...WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?

14 May 13, 11:13 AM
Fluffy: Doctor? -this gif is too cute- -to match the situation-

14 May 13, 11:13 AM
Ninth Doctor: -holds onto the second clara- -and wait- -what the heck-

14 May 13, 11:13 AM
Clara Oswald: -kind of too shocked to say much-

14 May 13, 11:12 AM
Castagnier: -holds out hand, sending a fireball at the energy to make it break that apart instead-

14 May 13, 11:12 AM
: -and suddenly bURST OF BLUE LIGHT AROUND CLARA BLOCKING HER-

14 May 13, 11:12 AM
Clara Oswald: -just stays with actual!Nine-

Fluffy: -teleports in and- -what-

Castagnier: -sHUT UP ITS CAST NOT EMIL RARARAARRA-

14 May 13, 11:12 AM
Shadow Nine: -and aims it at emil too- -STOP WITH THE POSITIVITY!-

14 May 13, 11:11 AM
Shadow Nine: -sends a cosmic surge of energy towards clara- -thinking to break her apart into atoms-

14 May 13, 11:11 AM
Eris: ... -slight frown- are you okay? -oh also- -I met your family last night- -they didn't like me-

14 May 13, 11:11 AM
Castagnier: about you and want to help you!

14 May 13, 11:11 AM
Castagnier: Hate isn't what makes a person up! Yeah, hate can consume you and eat you up, but that doesn't mean you should just stand by and let it destroy everything you love, not when there's people who care

14 May 13, 11:11 AM
Shadow Nine: ENOUGH!

14 May 13, 11:10 AM
Ninth Doctor: -listening to all this- -taking it in in silence-

14 May 13, 11:10 AM
Castagnier: No one deserves to be hurt like that!

Clara Oswin Oswald: He may think so. Pretty sure everyone else in here's got better ideas. -hmm- -wow this is a word i've never heard before- -huh-

14 May 13, 11:09 AM
Emil Castagnier: I have no idea what's going on over there but whatever it is, it's not good.

14 May 13, 11:09 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: -u ok emil- -slight headtilt- ...-but says nothing more- -for once-

14 May 13, 11:09 AM
Shadow Nine: AND HE KNOWS IT!

14 May 13, 11:08 AM
Shadow Nine: I DO IT BECAUSE IT IS WHAT HE DESERVES.

14 May 13, 11:08 AM
Emil Castagnier: -okay I- -think I have it fixed-

14 May 13, 11:08 AM
Shadow Nine: YOU THINK THIS IS MY CHOICE TO TORTURE MYSELF?

14 May 13, 11:07 AM
Ninth Doctor: -shaking his head- -denial.exe- -would be doing more, but has been dying and being revived repeatedly for 24 hours straight now-

14 May 13, 11:07 AM
Clara Oswald: -kind of cringes, and tightens her hold on Nine at that-

14 May 13, 11:07 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -slight reckless smirk and wow that's a dark little laugh there clara- Want to bet?

14 May 13, 11:07 AM
Castagnier: There's no reason Clara has to fight all by herself!

14 May 13, 11:07 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: ...

14 May 13, 11:07 AM
Castagnier: Well then, all of us will!

14 May 13, 11:06 AM
Shadow Nine: AND YOU... YOU CANNOT STOP ME.

14 May 13, 11:06 AM
Shadow Nine: I'M WORSE THAN THEY ARE!

14 May 13, 11:06 AM
Shadow Nine: MYSELF.

14 May 13, 11:06 AM
Shadow Nine: BUT... DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THE THING I HATE THE MOST? MORE THAN ALL THE DALEKS IN CREATION?

14 May 13, 11:06 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: Oh, I have. But I've seen a hell of a lot more. Now one. Last. Warning. Leave him alone!

14 May 13, 11:06 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: -icon pls-

14 May 13, 11:05 AM
Shadow Nine: THE DEAFENING RAGE. THE ONCOMING STORM. THE RUTHLESSNESS.

14 May 13, 11:05 AM
Sarafine Duchannes: -oh whoops- -missed that, eris- Oh - are you not behind all of that, then? -jokingly motions to the TARDIS- -this would be a good time to try to break in but eh- -not rly motivated-

14 May 13, 11:04 AM
Shadow Nine: YOU'VE GLIMPSED IT BEFORE HAVEN'T YOU CLARA... THE HATE?

14 May 13, 11:04 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -raises her voice, still addressing the Shadow- Are you listening to me?! Leave him be!

14 May 13, 11:04 AM
Shadow Nine: DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? THIS IS HOW I AM DEEP DOWN.

14 May 13, 11:04 AM
Castagnier: shadow, would he?

14 May 13, 11:04 AM
Castagnier: You really shouldn't let something like that get the better of you! You're Clara's Doctor, you can do anything if you put your mind to it! Clara's Doctor wouldn't let himself get beat up by a squirmy

14 May 13, 11:03 AM
Clara Oswald: -cringes and kneels down, putting an arm around his shoulders at that-

14 May 13, 11:03 AM
Castagnier: -holds a hand to help him get back up- I don't know what's going on but...

14 May 13, 11:03 AM
Castagnier: ...I don't think you're very fine.

14 May 13, 11:03 AM
Ninth Doctor: -drops down to his knees again after that-

14 May 13, 11:03 AM
Eris: -Eris pls- -Sarafine wasn't even talking to you-

14 May 13, 11:03 AM
Ninth Doctor: -turns to emil- I'm fine! -and then explodes into pulp- -reforming a moment later-

14 May 13, 11:03 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: Or I'll make you.

14 May 13, 11:02 AM
Clara Oswald: Doctor...

14 May 13, 11:02 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -quickly puts herself between Nine and his Shadow- I said leave him.

14 May 13, 11:02 AM
Clara Oswald: -nods, rushing to Nine's side-

14 May 13, 11:02 AM
Castagnier: -goes over to Nine with her- Are you okay?

14 May 13, 11:02 AM
Ninth Doctor: No you're not! We're not the same!

14 May 13, 11:02 AM
Castagnier: -grabs onto other Clara-

14 May 13, 11:01 AM
Ninth Doctor: -stands up- -trembling with rage-

14 May 13, 11:01 AM
Castagnier: -u ok icc-

14 May 13, 11:01 AM
Shadow Nine: I AM EVERYTHING HE DESERVES TO BE.

14 May 13, 11:01 AM
Shadow Nine: I AM THE TIME WAR. I AM THE DOCTOR. I AM MEMORY INCARNATE.

14 May 13, 11:01 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -more commanding- Let him be. Now.

14 May 13, 11:00 AM
Shadow Nine: I AM THE SHADOW. THE TRUE SELF.

14 May 13, 10:59 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -glances at Clara and then to Nine- -silent 'help him'-

14 May 13, 10:59 AM
Eris: -headtilt- ...yes?

14 May 13, 10:59 AM
Shadow Nine: NO! STAY HERE. LOOK UPON ME... SEE ME FOR WHAT I AM.

14 May 13, 10:59 AM
Clara Oswin Oswald: -more loudly, addressing the Shadow now- What are you? -ooh someone's sounding fearless-

14 May 13, 10:59 AM
Castagnier: -looks guys- -its exactly as I imagined the doctor-

[Dave Strider]

Here's the latter half of Rose's!



16 May 13, 10:21 PM
Priestess: The power of the Priestess Arcana awakens within Rose!

16 May 13, 10:20 PM
Rose Lalonde: -smiles up at dave, blinking, and then looks down at the card in her hand in confusion-

16 May 13, 10:20 PM
Dave Strider: ...I thought I'd lost you...

16 May 13, 10:19 PM
Philemon: smirk.exe

16 May 13, 10:19 PM
Dave Strider: *Is knelt beside her, cradling her in his arms*

16 May 13, 10:18 PM
Rose Lalonde: -finds herself lying on the floor in the ICC- -exactly where her shadow was- -only, which one was the shadow all along?-

16 May 13, 10:17 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...I will, Mom. -closes her eyes- -and then- -opens them again-

16 May 13, 10:17 PM
Dave Strider: You take it easy, y'hear? ...We'll make you proud, mom.

16 May 13, 10:17 PM
Dave Strider: *Smiles broadly and looks over at Mom while holding Rose in his arms* We will.

16 May 13, 10:16 PM
Mom: -gives them both a last squeeze- -and then- -turns and walks back in the direction of the house-

16 May 13, 10:16 PM
Mom: You take care of each other.

16 May 13, 10:15 PM
Rose Lalonde: -throws herself suddenly into the hug- -tearing up herself-

16 May 13, 10:13 PM
Dave Strider: Welcome back, sis.

16 May 13, 10:13 PM
Mom: ...You remember. -she smiles- -and then hiccups-

16 May 13, 10:12 PM
Dave Strider: *From beneath the shades, a tear rolls into view* Took you long enough...

16 May 13, 10:12 PM
Dave Strider: *Then turns back to look at Rose*

16 May 13, 10:12 PM
Rose Lalonde: Dave... Mom...?

16 May 13, 10:12 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...

16 May 13, 10:11 PM
Dave Strider: *Turns to look back and watch the house reconstruct itself* *...* *what the fuck is up with that statue*

16 May 13, 10:10 PM
Rose Lalonde: -stands speechlessly- -as the oceans begin to fill up again with rain, light breaking through the clouds as the house rebuilds itself- -shitty wizards and all-

16 May 13, 10:09 PM
Mom: Let's get this place cleaned up.

16 May 13, 10:09 PM
Mom: ...Enough of this passive-aggressive behavior, young lady.

16 May 13, 10:08 PM
Dave Strider: ... *For a moment* *he stared up in wonder* *Then he cracks a broad smile*

16 May 13, 10:08 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...!

16 May 13, 10:08 PM
Mom: ...

16 May 13, 10:08 PM
: -a lone figure walks out- -dressed in a pink scarf and holding a cocktail glass, she walks up behind rose and pulls down the veil over her eyes, before wrapping her arms around rose and dave-

16 May 13, 10:08 PM
Dave Strider: *Pulls away just enough to peer into the mausoleum*

16 May 13, 10:06 PM
Rose Lalonde: -slowly, the chains slide back, and the gate to the mausoleum opens up, light shining from within-

16 May 13, 10:05 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...

16 May 13, 10:05 PM
Dave Strider: We'll figure this out, together. The way we've figured out everything else.

16 May 13, 10:04 PM
Dave Strider: Rose, I'm begging you... Cast off these blinders and come back to us.

16 May 13, 10:04 PM
Dave Strider: *Now that he's close* *decks the sword* *and pulls her into a firm hug*

16 May 13, 10:04 PM
Dave Strider: You had to know you'd only be buying time at best... You wouldn't seriously settle for such a fucked-up deal, would you?

16 May 13, 10:04 PM
Rose Lalonde: Please, just... -her own voice os cracking now- ...get out! Stop making me feel these things!

16 May 13, 10:03 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...You should have. I can't remember... look around you, there's nothing.

16 May 13, 10:03 PM
Dave Strider: We'll find a way to put a stop to English. And I have no intention of letting you throw yourself away to the lesser of two evils to do it.

16 May 13, 10:02 PM
Dave Strider: *and by now* *his voice is beginning to crack* We didn't ever give up on you, Rose! Not once!

16 May 13, 10:02 PM
Dave Strider: No you're not. *Still advancing on her* *mere feet away by now*

16 May 13, 10:01 PM
Rose Lalonde: -can't finish her words- -and still can't bury the damn building-

16 May 13, 10:01 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...I'm going to lose all of you anyway. At least it won't be the same way I lost...

16 May 13, 10:01 PM
Dave Strider: What's holding you back?

16 May 13, 10:00 PM
Dave Strider: Rose... Why don't you want to remember?

16 May 13, 10:00 PM
Rose Lalonde: -suddenly, the earth opens up and tries to swallow the mausoleum, to bury it... but it can't-

16 May 13, 10:00 PM
Dave Strider: Do you really think Nyarlathotep cares enough about you to make sure you walk out of this alive, even if you do somehow take English out?

16 May 13, 10:00 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...I don't... I don't want to remember.

16 May 13, 09:59 PM
Dave Strider: Or is it that you just didn't want me finding out you'd lined up another suicide mission?

16 May 13, 09:59 PM
Dave Strider: What did you hope to accomplish by pushing us all away? Were you trying to keep us safe? Protect us from yourself, the things you might have to do?

16 May 13, 09:59 PM
Dave Strider: See? I doubt even you're so sure of this.

16 May 13, 09:58 PM
Rose Lalonde: -the chains on the mausoleum shake once more in uncertainty-

16 May 13, 09:58 PM
Dave Strider: *Just keeps advancing towards her* *Deringer held ready, but not in a threatening stance*

16 May 13, 09:57 PM
Dave Strider: Wrong!

16 May 13, 09:57 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...I have gone too far to turn back now.

16 May 13, 09:56 PM
Rose Lalonde: These were my memories. Now they are nothing.

16 May 13, 09:56 PM
Rose Lalonde: -gestures around at the destroyed ruins, with only the one building standing-

16 May 13, 09:56 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...I can do better alone.

16 May 13, 09:55 PM
Dave Strider: Why do you have to do this alone, Rose?!

16 May 13, 09:55 PM
Dave Strider: *The telekinetic grip suddenly slips into the other timestream* *and Dave soars back to his feet* What makes you so sure?

16 May 13, 09:51 PM
Rose Lalonde: That is what the future holds...

16 May 13, 09:51 PM
Rose Lalonde: And I will destroy Lord English.

16 May 13, 09:51 PM
Rose Lalonde: The reality is that you will die here.

16 May 13, 09:50 PM
Dave Strider: *oh* *shit*

16 May 13, 09:50 PM
Rose Lalonde: ...No!

16 May 13, 09:50 PM
Rose Lalonde: -and suddenly- -telekinetically grips dave and slams him to the ground-

16 May 13, 09:50 PM
Dave Strider: Then take the hood down for a second and open your eyes!

16 May 13, 09:50 PM
Rose Lalonde: -the chains on the mausoleum are weakening-
