  3. Nul

    Nul Who the hell is Mica?

    "Isn't that what people say before something goes wrong?"

    Legion For I Am Many

    "...listen, while the world here does run on a certain set of cinematics, I'm pretty sure the Queen is going to want to follow your story." She grins at Mutt and Nul. "And, hey, as long as we're here, you've got backup."

    She looks at Mutt. "We've always had your back, right?"
     
  5. Mutt

    Mutt Active Member

    "Yeah! You've always helped me out!" They turn to Nul. "I'll help you out, too!"
     
  6. Nul

    Nul Who the hell is Mica?

    "...Thank you."
     
  7. Legion

    Legion For I Am Many

    Legion smiles. "We'll help you however we can, from now until the end of time."

    She looks at her partner in crime. "Isn't that right, Even?"
     
  8. Even

    Even Smoke Never Rises Without Fire

    "Does it even need to be said? You're one of us, Mutt... and now you are, too, Nul. We take care of each other. Hell or high water."
     
  9. Nul

    Nul Who the hell is Mica?

    Nul nods. "Is there....um. Is there anything that can be done about my wings?" They're starting to ache again, and he feels vaguely uncomfortable having them uncovered for this long.

    "Probably, we'll do what we can. Promise. We're here for both of you." Legion promises....

    When Even nods agreement, Mutt and Nul feel magic settle over them.
     
  11. Nul

    Nul Who the hell is Mica?

    Nul tenses, but makes himself relax as best he can. It's just Legion and Even, and they have no reason to harm him.

    They're both smiling.

    Then the Queen appears behind them, smiling thinly. "Even. Legion. I need to speak with both of you."

    Their smiles falter.
     
  13. Nul

    Nul Who the hell is Mica?

    "Who are you? I -" He frowns. "Do I know you?"
     
  14. The Queen of Cups

    The Queen of Cups What A Lovely Tale

    "I'm the Queen," she smiles. "...Legion. Even. You've a new story."

    She drops a pair of wallets on the table. "You're to return home. Your time here has come to an end. Congratulations."
     
  15. Legion

    Legion For I Am Many

    Legion goes sickly pale, gripping the edge of the table. "...w...what?"
     
  16. Even

    Even Smoke Never Rises Without Fire

    Even ducks into the hollow of Legion's chest, trying to hide.
     
  17. Mutt

    Mutt Active Member

    "What? But..." Mutt can feel tears forming in their eyes. "But...no! They're mine! You can't take them away!" They're gripping their knife instinctively, even though they know it won't help.

    "They have to go."

    The Queen circles, cupping Mutt's cheek and smiling. "But they'll be there when you get home, outside. You'll find them again."
     
  19. Mutt

    Mutt Active Member

    "When?" Their lip trembles, and tears roll down their cheeks. "When will I see them again?"

    "Soon. But whether you remember them, and whether they remember you ...is up to fate. "
