Polyta and Zabelle investigate a hole in the world in Helen's shop | |
|
|
|
It's just like Helen said... like a hole in the world... |
|
|
You think it's Proteus' doing? |
|
|
I don't sense his influence on this at all... no traces of his magic signature... |
|
|
Agh. I suppose I can take solace in knowing he hasn't pierced our defenses yet. |
But it also means we're dealing with two existential threats instead of one. |
And we have no idea what's causing the second... |
|
|
It's funny... it looks just like... |
|
|
...The world Nix came from. |
|
|
Oh... I was going to say Jiro's videogame... |
Coral appears behind them. | |
|
|
|
* You guys have videogames??
|
|
|
Obviously... what would be the point of having magic if you can't even be a gamer... |
|
|
Coral! I didn't see you arrive. |
|
|
* aw yknow just lookin for my good mate sunny
|
|
|
fuuuuuck girlypop i dont know how to tell you this but she's all fucked up. |
Coral frets over her friend. | |
|
|
|
she's stuck in... basically another world. it's wild, nix told me it's inside her video game. |
Coral considers the situation here. There's her world. And then she's playing a game, which is Love Bomb. And then Jiro plays a game which is Nix's world. And then NIX plays a game which is another world still... | |
|
|
|
* so, nix was playing a game, and that's where sunny is. but nix herself is from jiro's game. and then...
|
With horror, a possibility dawns on her. Is she even the top layer? Is there another one above her? Coral begins to sweat. | |
|
|
|
hey don't worry!!! sunny is very resourceful. she'll pull through, i'm sure of it. [maybe mention specifics of how she's doing, lying her way to victory.] |
|
|
* i appreciate it polyta, but goddddd everything is so fucked up now
* i wish shit could be chill for once. home is fucked, sunny is fucked, even hollidae is fucked now...
|
|
|

The Goddess turns up. She looks around at all the sawblades and shit. (Casandra and Helen?) try to calm her down | |
|
|
|
its alllllllllllllll g!!!!!! |
The Goddess wells up. Rain begins to sprinkle. | |
|
Coral suddenly looks very serious... | |
|
And then just as immediately she's giving the Goddess a hug, a great big smile on her face. | |
|
|
|
* heyyyy cmon girl! this is good actually!
* why dont we just... talk this through?
[Do we have a DEBATE START graphic here? Is this a debate?]
