*Hiss*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

Hmm... maybe Fifteen'll do better...

17: I doubt it...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

Useless... you had them all, they were conquered, eaten. You'd won...

You just had to get greedy, you had to go and blow it. Stupid stupid animal... don't know why I even bothered with you.

*he‘s too diminished for the words to even reach him. Instead it’s Seventeen who answers*

Quite. He reaped what he sowed.

[dyath-of-endrix]

@future-cia-agent, do you hear that?

[future-cia-agent]

Carmilla...!

[dyath-of-endrix]

Looks like we found him.

[future-cia-agent]

*makes a raptor call and alerts @rocco-the-fourteenth*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

[future-cia-agent]

You missed one!

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

*lets go of Carmilla for a moment, but keeps her ensnared in his tendrils*

And who might you be?

[future-cia-agent]

Extrade... search the memories of those you've eaten. You'll recognise me...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

Ah, of course… Extrade.

You‘re the source of so much guilt and shame, did you know that?

Come to beg me for the sweet release of death?

[future-cia-agent]

I... hate them

I'm glad they're gone...

I just came to thank you

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

*chuckles* Ah, that makes much more sense.

*pulls at @unbound-romana‘s soul one last time, drawing it out with the last of her blood, then discards her body and closes in on “Extrade” *

I already know a way you can thank me.

[future-cia-agent]

*backs into the wall*

W-wait... I'm... g-grateful... you don't need to...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

No, I don’t need to. But I want to.

[future-cia-agent]

Stop...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

Oh… what’s that?

*snatches it*

You’ve been holding out on me…

[future-cia-agent]

N... no, give that back!

Its not yours... t-that's my power... mine!

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

That’s where you’re wrong. You’re nothing. Everything that was yours is mine now.

*integrates the power and begins digesting him*

[future-cia-agent]

@inconspicuous-extra-de-cia, he is yours... command him...!

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

What...

[future-cia-agent]

*the Mark of Indenture, taken willingly into himself, wraps itself around his soul and binds him*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

How are you doing this to me?!

[future-cia-agent]

Y-you took the M-mark of Indenture, and w-willingly absorbed it...

Y-you are now a C-celestis... thrall...

*fully broken down and absorbed as with the others*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

No! I won't be bound. I refuse to be subservient to anyone ever again!

*tries to tear the mark from his soul to no avail*

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Stop

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

I’m going to kill you for this, I will–

Argh!

*feels compelled to obey*

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Tell me why they hate you

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

They just can’t accept that their time is up. That I’m the hunter and they’re the prey. But I’ve defeated them. Wiped them out and made them suffer. Is that not what you want, too? Oh great Lord Extrade? You actually had me fooled there for a moment… tell me, what’s the purpose of this ruse?

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Return what you’ve taken

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

And how am I supposed to do that? They’re part of me now. I took their strength and discarded their weaknesses. You can’t ask me to spit out a meal that’s already been digested.

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

@future-cia-agent, we’re too late.

[future-cia-agent]

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

They’re already dead

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Seventeen?

*nudges @evil-rocco*

[evil-rocco]

No, stop it! She’s destroying me!

[future-cia-agent]

You feel that... that's what Daybreak felt, what Midnight felt... and guess what you did? Hurt them more, laughed.

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

*screams in pain* So this is your revenge? You want me to feel sorry for them?

[future-cia-agent]

Not at all... I know that you won't... I just want you to feel it. Makes me feel better...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

No! No, I won’t give you the satisfaction, I–

You’ve been holding out on me…

N... no, give that back!

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

How are you doing this to me?!

Y-you took the M-mark of Indenture, and w-willingly absorbed it...

Y-you are now a C-celestis... thrall...

No! I won't be bound. I refuse to be subservient to anyone ever again!

I’m going to kill you for this, I will–

Argh!

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Tell me why they hate you

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

They just can’t accept that their time is up. That I’m the hunter and they’re the prey. But I’ve defeated them. Wiped them out and made them suffer. Is that not what you want, too? Oh great Lord Extrade? You actually had me fooled there for a moment… tell me, what’s the purpose of this ruse?

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Return what you’ve taken

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

And how am I supposed to do that? They’re part of me now. I took their strength and discarded their weaknesses. You can’t ask me to spit out a meal that’s already been digested.

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

@future-cia-agent, we’re too late.

[future-cia-agent]

Not too late

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

They’re already dead

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

*sighs*

@rocco-the-fourteenth, release the biodata.

[future-cia-agent]

Give... Seventeen... control of the... body

She'll know... what... to do...

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Seventeen?

[future-cia-agent]

Rocco's... other self... a better one... a good one...

[inconspicuous-extra-de-cia]

Seventeen? Is there a seventeen in here?

[future-cia-agent]

*nudges @evil-rocco*

I take it you have a plan?

And who might you be?

[future-cia-agent]

Extrade... search the memories of those you've eaten. You'll recognise me...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

Ah, of course… Extrade.

You‘re the source of so much guilt and shame, did you know that?

Come to beg me for the sweet release of death?

[future-cia-agent]

I... hate them

I'm glad they're gone...

I just came to thank you

*tries to fight but is hopelessly outmatched*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

*absorbs him easily*

[future-cia-agent]

*he masks his taste so he cannot tell he tastes like Daybreak*

Stop...

*the mark of indenture pulses like a power source... enchanting... powerful... alluring*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

Oh… what’s that?

*snatches it*

You’ve been holding out on me…

[future-cia-agent]

N... no, give that back!

Its not yours... t-that's my power... mine!

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

That’s where you’re wrong. You’re nothing. Everything that was yours is mine now.

*integrates the power and begins digesting him*

[future-cia-agent]

*is slowly absorbed, and Rocco realises its Daybreak II*

@inconspicuous-extra-de-cia, he is yours... command him...!

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

What...

[future-cia-agent]

*the Mark of Indenture, taken willingly into himself, wraps itself around his soul and binds him*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

How are you doing this to me?!

[dyath-of-endrix]

@future-cia-agent, do you hear that?

[future-cia-agent]

Carmilla...!

[dyath-of-endrix]

Looks like we found him.

[future-cia-agent]

*makes a raptor call and alerts @rocco-the-fourteenth*

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

*it catches his attention, but not enough to let go of Carmilla*

[future-cia-agent]

You missed one!

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

*lets go of Carmilla for a moment, but keeps her ensnared in his tendrils*

And who might you be?

[future-cia-agent]

Extrade... search the memories of those you've eaten. You'll recognise me...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

Ah, of course… Extrade.

You‘re the source of so much guilt and shame, did you know that?

Come to beg me for the sweet release of death?

[future-cia-agent]

I... hate them

I'm glad they're gone...

I just came to thank you

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

*chuckles* Ah, that makes much more sense.

*pulls at @unbound-romana‘s soul one last time, drawing it out with the last of her blood, then discards her body and closes in on “Extrade” *

I already know a way you can thank me.

[future-cia-agent]

*backs into the wall*

W-wait... I'm... g-grateful... you don't need to...

[rocco-the-fourteenth]

No, I don’t need to. But I want to.

*leaps at him*
