Yes, I'll meet you coming back when the universe has expanded

[azumods]

[Mars' chains had faded away as soon as the chains on Palkia had shattered, that unnatural red glow leaving her eyes; she doesn't stumble, to her credit, and seems to be trying to resist the urge to flinch or anything, but she's...not precisely looking too hot, either. Not like she's going to faint or anything, just like she's been through A Lot.

Jupiter is staying near her for the time being; ultimately, she's the one that addresses you.]

You guys can stay here if you want. Or don't, I don't care enough to insist. But we've got food and beds that probably beat the Center's, at least.

We'll be around, either way. Since I doubt you guys are just going to leave us alone after all that. Do what you want.


[OOC: Consider this a log to cover both any afterparty whatnot you want to get up to, as well as something to carry over into Sunday! Both Jupiter and Mars will be available for NPC threads on this particular log, should they be desired.]

[Oh, hey Kiryu. Camilla looks up at him a bit.]

...I suppose it does, if we're attempting to be heroes or something similar. But... [...] Sometimes, I do wonder if it will be enough. Mars did have a point when she said that much. If determination is all we have against him...

[They really do need more than that, don't they?]

Do you think it'll work, Kiryu?

[takestheblame]

We have to make it work. There's no alternative.

[Kiryu has gone against his clan and against particularly corrupt people with nothing more than a lot of determination ans his fists. He's sure they do have the possibility to make this work, even if Cyrus is a bigger opponent than everything he's used to until now]

[anythingforyou]

[...Kiryu, you are literally made of determination, aren't you. It actually gets her to smile a bit, honestly.]

You know, hearing you say it? With so much conviction and the like...I could genuinely believe we could simply walk over to Cyrus's door and take him on with only moxie and determination on our side.

[Like, that is an impressive amount of belief.]

[takestheblame]

[Damn right he is, haha!]

It's going to be a little harder than that. [Kiryu sounds amused at that thought. He may be the kind of person that isn't stopped by trouble, but gotta be realistic too, yeah?] But we're not a bunch of random people anymore. We have gotten used to working together and can cooperate as a team.

That's going to be our advantage.

[anythingforyou]

That is true; there are many of us, and only one of him. And he's not going to tear us apart any further.

[That gets something of a smile out of Camilla, if nothing else.]

As long as we do this smartly...I suppose we will have a true shot at this.

[takestheblame]

You should say that with more conviction.

[The power of words!]

[anythingforyou]

[Oh dear gods.]

Alright, alright. We will win this; we will ensure that Cyrus is dealt with, one way or another, and we will survive our encounter with him to ensure that this world is brought back to it's proper order.

[takestheblame]

That's better!

[Nice, well done, Camilla]

Wouldn't hurt to have an idea of what we can do, though. Determination's important, but without a good plan, he's going to crush us.

[Cyrus has the big god, doesn't he? That's bound to be troublesome]

[anythingforyou]

[She tries her best!

...But yeah, that's. Gonna be an issue, isn't it.]

...Really, I would quite be interested in seeing if Darkrai's abilities would be able to work on someone like him. Or perhaps even Cresselia's.

[That's if they even wanna stand against the Creator, dear gods.]

But apart from that, I don't think we're going to be able to use brute force on him. Not without putting everyone else in significant danger.

[takestheblame]

I don't see why they wouldn't work. In the end Cyrus is a human more. They should be able to use their abilities on him.

[Whether he'd be affected by them or shrug off everything is what he's not so sure about]

[anythingforyou]

[...Yeah, that's what she's worried about. We can't exactly aggressively go "GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP" if he's just got Insomnia as an ability now.]

I do hope so. It would be incredibly satisfying to do so, really.
