Wouldn't you like to use more than words?

The last thing you recall is likely your own death. Whether it was fast or slow, it's over now. And you're... where are you?

One moment, you were among the living. The next - you may be one of the unfortunate ones who actually died. In which case, you've found yourself flowing in the lazy rivers of the river Styx, unfathomably deep underground. Just for a moment, mind you. It's not long before your consciousness is yanked from the waters by some scary monsters, shoved into a healed body, and pushed through a portal.

Or, maybe you were caught red-handed and sentenced to your doom. But, instead of a proper death, you were whisked down into the Veins of Tartarus. And there's really only one place that could lead to... Or is it?


You've been tossed down here by the will of the Titan, but what you find is A helping hand swooping you up - possibly literally, and potentially out of the grasp of the Titan himself.

Not a moment after, you're whisked through another rift, this one a shimmering gold. Into a realm of slightly more stable platforms and a lot more shit to look through. The area is practically littered with the ill-gotten goods of a thieving God (who is happy to note via pop-up illusion that you are touching his stuff). Here, however, you are safe; assured that Typhon cannot find or hurt you here.

For the moment, you can breathe before the next part comes.

[ "when the typhoon clears... when the seagulls cry once more—none shall be left alive."

it had been a careful avoidance of her own role in what's to come, only speaking to her awareness of it. her acceptance of it.

He did. He is... and you're right, there's no undoing it. But no one knows that better than he already must. [ she steps closer to alex, trying to get his focus as opposed to ferdinand. ]

And... it's hard to believe it would make you feel any better. So please.

[ Alex's eyes flit from Ferdinand to Sayo. They sting. ]

It's not... [ His vision blurs. ] She looked so happy. So fucking happy.

... I know. [ she says it quietly, resting a hand on her own wrist. ] And I know how she must feel, now. Being left behind by someone she thought would help save her.

[ but that's why that's a matter for velvet and ferdinand alone. ]

[Ivilezlei is hanging out elsewhere, but he's been listening in and I am legally obligated to say that this is what makes it click in his head what exactly happened with Seymour and I hate that it took this long because he is stupid. This comment exits for Luna to laugh at later.]

[ He grips the side of his head. ]

It's not fair. It's not. She doesn't fuckin' deserve it.

[ It's your fault. You're the reason this happened. Your fault. Your— ]

... No, it's not. And she doesn't. But it's not for us to set it right... or to punish him for it.

[ besides. none of them have good options left to them, after all. ]

[ Clenching his jaw so much it hurts. ]

No. That's for him to do.
