time to get the fuck outta there cutie!! lets go hop to!!

<Lalna watches with a quiet resignation as the first Overseer claws its way over the mountains. It's not a long moment, as he very quickly turns tail and runs for the launchpad. He grabs a rucksack on the way, sliding it across the foundation.>

<The Ribbits stare at him with their big, darling eyes. He tries to return the smile.>

~ We gotta go. Now.

<Legs salutes and climbs the small ladder into the rocket's cabin. Lalna scoops up the shorter ribbit and places them next to their sister.>

<The backpack is slotted under the seat.>

<He takes one final, unobstructed look across the valley.>

it seems like everythings going to plan, cutie patootie will be lifting off soon

<He wakes with a sudden jolt, flickers of something pulling at his vision.>

- Are you okay?

= I-

= It's go time.

[pyritebonds]

Yes. yes i am.

= Aren't there more pressing matters?

= You don't come with any news, so I'm guessing Pyrite is well? Everything going as plan?

= I wish we had direct communication, this is so... unnerving.

[pyritebonds]

cutie alert!!

= You're really determined to do this, aren't you.

[pyritebonds]

mister rythian, are you aware that you are also a cutie?

= I think you have the wrong person.

- He's just shy!!

I meant if something went *really* wrong, totem would probably negate the requirements for seeing a guide to the great beyond tbh

To answer your question: by being a super cool and awesome witch, that's how.

~ Since respawns in these simulations aren't true deaths, more a transferral of consciousness, it makes sense I guess that we'd bypass any, uh, 'natural' laws of death.

~ Totem likely would too, since they revive the body entirely, correct? Yeah.

~ I mean hopefully nothing goes wrong and I don't need it.

~

~ Awesome witch. Hah.

I mean, kinda, in the long run, you may have facilitated the happenstances, that /eventually/ lead to her death but short term she sacrificed herself to save the world like a badass so idk man I wouldn't say /you/ killed her

You may have knocked over a domino or two but I don't think it's your fault the last one in the row happened to land on a hydrogen bomb

~ I- Like literally a bomb??

~ Man. She should start a support group with Zoeya.

~ Okay. Um.

~ That does.. sound right. Like something she'd do. And something I'd do.

~ But she's ok? She's out there doing cool reaper shit?

~ Considering how many times I've died- Unless she doesn't work in... hang on.

[pyritebonds]

that girl was also the grim reaper, so if anything goes wrong she'll probably be there to welcome you lol

~ I-

~ Well I've got that totem thing, right?

~ Maybe that's the experiment? Cheat death and meet death.

~ Wait-

~ What the fuck do you mean she's the grim reaper?? How- How did that happen??

~ Barry said I..
