TEST 8.

FLOW.

The feeling of pressure in here is immense.

It's stronger than it was with Darkrai, something you can feel down to your core, something that you couldn't shake off even if you tried; there's nothing to do but power through it. Saturn, for his part, either isn't feeling it at all or is incapable of reacting in any sort of appropriate way even if he could; he simply continues to regard you from across the room, his words hanging heavy in the room.

It's a far cry from his behavior during the first month you were here; he was civil then, willing to do you favors in exchange for the chance to talk to you. It's plain that he will be doing no such thing today; it may be difficult to know where to start, really. Especially when your Pokémon don't seem to be doing well - whatever's happening here, they seem reluctant, even unwilling, to fight anything in this room.

Perhaps it's not surprising; the energy in the room is likely familiar to them, and it's the sort associated with someone deciding to take their spirit away last time it was angered.

Whatever the reason, you're on your own for now; whatever happens is your choice, and yours alone.

Rey.....

[He doesn't have to know her very well to know she's experienced her fair share of torture, too.]
greydients: (★ no one)

...

[this is hitting about a thousand of her "NOPE" buttons Bucky, do you feel her]

...I don't know what more we can do. This is....
semistableman: (❅ yesterday all you had)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-09-30 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
It might not be too late.

[He makes a jerky motion with his head, trying to indicate fleeing is likely their best option without verbally saying it.

He's not about to attempt taking on a damn god.]
greydients: (★ fear)

[personal profile] greydients 2018-09-30 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[...you know

she's given you a bit of shit over your unwillingness to fight

but she can also admit when she may...have been wrong, um]


You...make a good point, but....

[...]

...it just doesn't feel right, leaving him like this. There must be something we can do....
semistableman: (✪ is he going to be saved)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-09-30 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
You heard Michael. He did this. He wanted this.

[He's honestly not certain it's even possible to unchain Saturn without killing him, at this point.]

Even if we could do something, the effort would likely kill him.

[...]

...is this what we have to prepare for, then? Jupiter, Mars, the gym leaders...how many people have undergone this nightmare?
semistableman: (☔ so sad to everyone)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-09-30 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Too many.

Even one would be too many.

....we need to stop him, Bucky.

[and this time, she...isn't talking about Saturn.]
semistableman: (♟ away away away)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-09-30 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

No one else can suffer at his hand.

[He can follow her train of thought. It's not like he can really stop identifying with Saturn, even now, after all.]
discutio: (that's dragging me down)

[personal profile] discutio 2018-09-30 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
...I can’t leave him like this, Bucky. I—you’re right, but I just can’t.
semistableman: (❅ i could say just to run)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-09-30 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He sighs.]

It's suicide, you know.

[But he's also not going anywhere.]
discutio: (gonna change you like a remix)

[personal profile] discutio 2018-09-30 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I do not ask any of you to stay with me. But this is the path I choose—for myself, this time.
semistableman: (★ if i could do it all again)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-09-30 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're a much better person than I am.

[He's so tired.

But, Ignis will notice, he hasn't moved, shifted stances a little, more defensive, but he hasn't tried to bolt.]
discutio: (gonna change you like a remix)

[personal profile] discutio 2018-09-30 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Believe me, I’m not. If we live through this, I’ll tell you.

...Thank you For staying.
semistableman: the truth it surfaces (☔ passing time i can't recall)

[He can't bring himself to comment on the first half, but]

Don't mention it.
