The Right Atmosphere

Crusher:

Back then should have been important, right?

But it felt so numb and meaningless.

I squint as I recall the gist of it.

"They got us fish. Then Kaysea took a hostage... Then fighting... And.. A light.."

I sum up dispassionately.

I shrug.

"Maybe he couldn't meditate with all of us around?... Or wet?"

Is this... Not a cave?

No, I... Guess it's just a hole?... Doesn't count?

I don't really get all this crystal cave meditation stuff. I really shouldn't be a voice on this.

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

I nod letting him go.

I move to wipe my eyes with my wrists but all of me is wet so.. That doesn't really help..

Ethan was focused on the crystal itself. Rubbing his head against it and whispering things. I'm too focused on Typhon in the flesh to know what Ethan is saying. Probably some lovely crystal thing.

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

The crystal water makes it all so much more... believable somehow... And I'm not even a Qudoakay, so this must be one powerful world crystal.

My gaze follows up the crystal skeleton above like a protective shielding figure.

I follow it back down with my eyes and then look to my son.

...

My son...

I feel a happy sob in my chest.

I reach out and touch Typhon in amazement that this is possibly real, and then hug him.

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

"Apparently, my dear."

I feel so at peace now.

The pain and horrors are finally over.

I look around.

"Where's Chimera?"

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

"Get away from me imposter!"

I hiss.

I look away trying to ignore the trick.

It makes my heart hurt so much.

Tears fill my eyes in my eyes.

Ethan doesn't hear his mother. Too lost, deep in the crystal flashes of the past conflicts and terrible Mikey-ness / anti- him propaganda.

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

I... Sense him...

But... It can't be true...

This...

My stomach tightens.

This has to be a cruel trick!

Or.. Or just someone who... No.. That can't be possible...

I tighten my fist.

Oh King.. Oh Hing... They really are cruel freakish savages to use our dead son this way... To break us.

I just... I just want to walk up and let this be over.. Please let this be over... or put us out of our misery.

Arrival Los Lore

Crusher:

I had awakened at some point.

I pet Pasha warily.

My poor dear...

This has been so hard on everyone...

Pegasus truly ruins everyone it touches...

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

I look at the weird weapon.

Then look up at Pash and follow her gaze to Ethan.

I wonder what she's thinking...

Is she thinking like I am...

That Ethan and I or no longer predictable now.. That.. Were just doing whatever, whenever...

I guess that's not totally true...

He'd always choose to protect his mother.

Maybe.. Maybe he never really thought to change sides either... Maybe it was all a ruse to lure the Baine Ones into a false sense of security...

I guess we'll never know now...

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

Ethan just fires everything like he's told using blood sense to help at least guess some directions.

I try to push myself up, wincing, as I sit with my back against the wall holding my wounds with one hand as I take the weapon with the other.

"Thanks dear."

I glance down feeling bad I didn't help Kaysea earlier now... Since we were doomed from the start..

I feel like I just don't know who I am anymore.

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

Hisses and winces as I get hit. My eyes squeezed shut.

There's a bunch of light suddenly when I open them to see the man I was fighting with teleported away.

I look around and swipe out, but everywhere there's a sparkle of light as people disappear before me.

Ethan raises his head, flicking his tongue sensing all the smells of blood in the air, hissing.

Then lets out a roar as if we scared them off and we're triumphant.

I jerk forward as the ship suddenly lurches as we get caught in a beam.

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

"Oph!"

I land roughly again.

Everyone just keeps tackling me everywhere.

I flail under him in a confused panic.

*Bites down on the side of his should with my siren sharp teeth and thrash around.

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

Ethan shriek as the fire tips scratch through his scales as he's wacked and fall back onto the ground.

I mentally curse.

I only made things worse!

I 'stop it' like the screaming suggests and freeze up in both in guilt and confusion.

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

I wince as I'm slammed against the wall.

Well.. That didn't work.. So much for seducing the other ships to our cause...

*sigh*

They don't want to go along with it and they don't want me to go against it with my only real ability. What do they want from me?

(("Well I'm all ears dear."))

Wyla and come over too and starts rubbing her head against us.

...

(("What do you suggest?"))

(Ethan): "Seriously.. Are you trying to have an orgy right now?.. Just stop. Or maybe no, go ahead so mom realizes she should dump your ass."

He hisses.

....

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

I stare at Eve intently.

She went after Kaysea. Everyone always goes after Kaysea, in one way or another. He's the big important man after all..

But sometimes the thing you should be worried about, isn't the big strong man in the corner.

"Youuuu don't want to hurt meeee. You want to help meee. Don't yoooou?" I sing.

My scales that had come out from the 'sprinkler' water bottle earlier flashes in a flurry of hypnotic colourful patterns.

Wyla watches mesmerized and Mikado coos and stares at all the pretty colours fascinated.

I dart my eyes from her to the controls, then back to her and slowly try to move towards closer towards the controls..

"You wouldn't let anything happy to me would you?... Don't you..."

I tilt my head, glancing around, and back to the lady.

"Desire me?"

[crusher-tlg]

Unexpected Salvation

Crusher:

I get patted and narrow my eyes in a glare at the disgrace of actually being treated like a pet and having to beg for peoples scraps like one when they claimed that's what the Kingdom was doing to us.

Even what the lady says... just sounds like were strays that will be made use for somehow.

Everything, how they treat us, and my poor families condition.. it was just making me more regretful siding with these... 'people'...

I look towards Ethan, even if he has his back to me.

"Yeah... Everything sucks... But it never gets better until someone MAKES it better!"

I point out, explaining away why... Why it was always like this... Why.. I could send my children to die... for this..

Ethan looks to Zip sadly, and teary eyed, upset for his poor mother's condition, and then looks back to her body and hugs her.

All Dried Up

Crusher:

Everything starts to float, including me!

"Of course, my Lady!"

I haphazardly flail a bit at the weirdness of this.

Even his planet sucks! I know planets can have different gravity and whatnot but this is ridiculous.

I use one of the binder rope dart things and shoot out to make a rope line to traverse. I keep this going and more more lines, bolting them to walls.

I drop some weapons and push them gently to float over to Pasha, Kaysea and Ethan, in case they're still weak and need a break from power usage.

Meanwhile Syris is tripped out, as he floats summersaults, feeling like he must have been given heavy duty drugs when they tranqed him after they let him out of the dart earlier. Cause he's flying!

[crusher-tlg]

All Dried Up

Crusher:

I squint as raise my hand to shield my eyes as lights come on.

I suddenly feel sick.

Ethan stumbles, looking disoriented and falls down on his knees and then collapses down on his side. (His lack of eating helps here since if he had, he'd be vomiting.)

I don't know what's happening (can't hear frequency) but these lights came on so it must be them!

There's Flynn's mocking voice, that and seeing my poor family suffer only makes me angrier and more determined in being violent.

I hiss and stumble to the dead frozen hybrids and grab there array of weapons.

I hear the stargate activate and dial as I arm myself.

Danger starts talking but I quickly drown out hearing anything myself as I start just hearing my weapons fire.

Multi-wielding with my human hands and tentacles fully armed I whirl back to the lights and start shooting all around the room trying to break them all. Some get shot with stunners, others tranq darts and rope darts. Whatever the hybrids had, I'm using baby.
