⦓ !!! I wasn't expecting a success so soon! I'm going to see if I can replicate this!!! ⦔ *The camera is in the same place as it was, and Iridis turns it on again, though you only see their hand before they disappear. The pile of plushies has thinned, a lot of stuffing on the table. There's nothing for a little while, and then... One is squeezed slightly. It doesn't seem all that impressive, but given the amount of stuffing ont he table, it must've taken some effort not to explode it. Iridis reappears to check, and literally jumps for joy when they realise it worked. "Yes!! Oh, yes yes yes! You beautiful little survivor, you!" They say ever so joyously as they pick up the plushie and hold it up to the camera. The camera focusses on the plushie, which is fully unharmed, but even out of focus, its pretty obvious that Iridis' nose is bleeding a little. They don't seem to care at all, grinning brightly as they turn the camera off again.*
⦓ Ah... Well, if even you and Eos can't easily do it, then at least I know it wasn't on my end... I didn't think it was, but I have been known to find guilt in the smallest cracks, hahaha... I will admit that I kind of did it to myself though, even when my head hurt I didn't stop trying. It isn't the first time I've pushed myself to the point of a nosebleed, but it feels like it's set off a lot more easily now. I guess I wasn't as recovered as I thought... ⦔
Sometimes, a universe rejects alteration, either because of its inherent qualities or because someone in that universe is keeping outside forces repelled. And sometimes specific people reject alterations to their potential, either on purpose or because they’re so connected to so many other things that it would upset that universe’s continuity. And sometimes there are even further reasons. It’s all complicated. You’re not. But again, no shame, you did your best.
⦓ Thank you, Arty... I just hate being so weak. The only way to get stronger is to try and do more, but when I try and do more, my body rejects it. I have no idea if this is a me problem or something the Heart player did to me. I know they put a lot of blockages on my abilities and growth, but I don't know if this sort of thing is something they could've affected... ⦔ ⦓ ... Either way, thank you. I'll uh... I'll be alright. I'll figure it out one day I guess! ⦔
It is, but it may be because of more than just them. What was their class, anyway? You will. You’re already making progress.
⦓ Witch. Witch of Heart. ⦔ ⦓ Thank you... Its hard to tell, really. I guess everything looks different from another person's view, though! Thank you. ⦔
…Iridis, I’m not trying to scare you, but it is a miracle you are not worse off. Yeah. Yeah, this could also be their fault. Boy your session had some fuckass classes in it.
⦓ Hahaha... No, I know that. Casper pretty much told me as much already, but even before that... I kind of knew. Some part of me did, anyway. If they were any worse than they are, I... Well, we'd all be puppets. I wouldn't be hated, I'd be a pet, or an object. As it is I kind of feel like all of the things they did were more for fun than any specific reason, but how would I know what they're thinking? I'm just glad enough of me remains that I'm still a person. ⦔ ⦓ And... Yeah.... All that, and no Mind player, ehe... ⦔
Crazy bastard hours, that’s for sure. I’m also glad you’re still with us, though it still sucks what they’ve done, obvy.
⦓ Yeah... Yeah. I do feel a bit bad for leaving the other survivors with them, but... Even if I'd tried to help, they would've just tried to kill or capture me anyway, so... I don't want to ever go back there. I might have to, though... God, I hope I can avoid them if I do. I'm not stupid, though. I won't go without making sure I have some sort of protection first. I don't know how yet. And the Void player is... Making things difficult for me. But that's part of why I need to get stronger. And preferably, before that one chittr user's friend starts the game... ⦔
⦓ ... and thank you. I'm glad I'm here, too. ⦔
