[At first, all is still; all is silent.]

[The only light is the light from your phone, where a checklist has taken over the screen. It reads:]

___ Find the True Heart
___ Survive

[ freezes up for a second

well of course he'd know her name, this is part of his soul or whatever. ]

-- yeah! Nice meetin' you, Sasha.

So uh, quick q, if you do the robosuit junk with hurricane why are you out here? Intensity was all gotta go, go, go, gotta get ready.

Something needs going for?

Re: The Karaoke Room

[stakesthesame]

There was a timer or something? Uh-- incoming attack? He didn't explain much.

Re: The Karaoke Room

[offontherightfoot]

Mother of god.

Another one?

[Sasha closes his eyes, briefly, and rubs at his temples.]

I will prepare this place for incoming.

Re: The Karaoke Room

[stakesthesame]

I mean-- I guess I should head back for that, then, but-- what is it?

[ ... rubs the back of her neck, awkwardly. ]

I never asked Hurricane much about his home stuff. Nemesis neither.

Re: The Karaoke Room

[offontherightfoot]

You have seen them, though, have you not?

The harbingers. You were there for that game, when Hurricane and Nemesis transformed. They are black, the most of them, and they have strange shapes, and too many eyes. They are not from our world.

[ ,

oh ]

... never thought there was a connection. I barely knew them then, anyway.

Do-- if you didn't know, are there more people who don't know? Will they get hurt?

Re: The Karaoke Room

[offontherightfoot]

It is what they do. They destroy things.

Each time, they destroy more, and we do our best to build it again.

[ ... runs a hand through her hair. ]

Yeah, well... humans are nothing if not resilient.

If I could help-- can I help? Is there a "best" way to?

Re: The Karaoke Room

[offontherightfoot]

If you can force them back, or protect what you are able, it would help a good deal.

...have care, though. He would not want you to die in this place.

Re: The Karaoke Room

[stakesthesame]

[ stares at the mic in her hand for a long moment, wistful, before handing it back to him. ]

... s'not like I wanna die anywhere. I got people to get back to.

Thanks for the song. I'll head back now.

Re: The Karaoke Room

[offontherightfoot]

[Takes it back.]

Be well, Marceline.

Re: The Karaoke Room

[stakesthesame]

You got more to worry about than I do, I think.

[ pauses, with a lopsided smile. ]

Before I go-- Nem's here, right? You dunno where I could find her, do you?

Re: The Karaoke Room

[offontherightfoot]

...I do. That is the one place I cannot give directions to, though.

It is the best place.

Re: The Karaoke Room

[stakesthesame]

Figures. ... know it's not really her but it's still important to make sure she's safe, right? Since they're the most important to each other.

[ waves a hand, though, and heads out-- straight back to the roof. ]

You stay safe too.
