What will you change?

What will you do?]

What?

Ah, the castle over there—

[ she gestures. ]

It says "to open a heart, you must bring the right keys," so I was wondering if you'd seen anything like that.

[They're successfully busting into the cockpit now...]

What? That could be literally anything. Try telling it you think it's nice and want to hang out sometime, I dunno.

...if this has to do with Nem, do you think that'll work...?

Re: NEMESIS

[adorabilities]

This has to do with Nem?

Re: NEMESIS

[softlyfalling]

I think it might...?

I mean, she and Hurricane were some kind of pilots, I think? I know she's told me about "Tokyo Disney" before as... a place you go on dates on Christmas?

Re: NEMESIS

[purrrnicious]

[She pauses to like. Look at the cheesy Disney-themed park and then back at Shrike, incredulous.]

You think this has anything to do with her? This weird tank suit is about the only thing that fits.

Re: NEMESIS

[softlyfalling]

Mm, it's sort of... incongruous, but if this is here, then it has to be something, right?

Re: NEMESIS

[purrrnicious]

Not really. It's one thing out of hundreds.

[But they've now gained access to the cockpit, so her voice is muffled a bit as she leans in to rummage around.]

Besides, I don't know what you're asking me for.

Re: NEMESIS

[softlyfalling]

Well, just in case you happened to.

...she's mentioned Tokyo Disney before, though, as a place to... go on dates for Christmas, apparently?

Re: NEMESIS

[purrrnicious]

--A Tokyo what? I don't even know what that is.

Re: NEMESIS

[softlyfalling]

It's an amusement park, I guess? Apparently Disney is a very powerful empire of some sort but also they have places like this.

Re: NEMESIS

[purrrnicious]

[Flicking her tail.]

Whatever that means.

I live in reality, a place Nemesis ignores. Go ask someone else about her.

Re: NEMESIS

[softlyfalling]

[ oh i guess everything is on fire now

you know what maybe she's uhhhhh going to go somewhere else. maybe look at the rides. ]

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[You can in fact attempt that but

something is coming.

And as you flee down the path, the something is louder--rhomboid and red and makes your eyes hurt to look at it too long, and your stomach drops to look at it, your knees shaking.

Roll...uh, something, geometry is coming,]

Re: NEMESIS

[softlyfalling]

[ it's a 2. i don't know what this means ]

Re: NEMESIS

[idolpro]

[It means Geometry is here.

You can stand and fight--you can turn and run--it doesn't matter. It swallows you into itself all the same, absorbing you into blazing, searing red.

(But of course this happened. You aren't good enough to have done better. You're weak. You're worthless. This is what you deserve.)

And you burn from the inside out.]

Re: NEMESIS

[softlyfalling]

[ cool cool cool cool cool

that's sort of, well. expected, anyway? that's like the story of her life, basically. ]
