Poppy nods, silent, he doesn't have anything to say as a serpent comes closer, hands grasping his form as they are placed on his head, clammy, cold like death, like the cold of a empty night. Bringing it close to Him. He softly clicks it against one of the masks, the center one, a bone and metal click sounding out. Ringing like white noise, crawling with emotion, feels like water dripping down. Poppy leans in. He likes touch afterall. So he should lean in. And so he does. His lights a black, but still glowing dimly.
I know. You love me deeply. You love me. You love me. You love everything. You love them. You love me.
For that is the Truth. Poppy knows from the bottom of his heart that it is the Truth. For it could be nothing else but True. He won't let himself question that. There is no other answer that could exist.
A small nod and Chirp in confirmation. He coils as He spirals around, staring as masks spin and he releases a head. Rolling it. It lands on one. No. No. No. It doesn't. It lands on six. Three times as it keeps getting spun. Poppy giggles. Laughing as He chuckles as well. His tail flicks a path open, to below everything, to below all, to Nothing. Mandelbrot colors fading to a monochrome.
I know! Time for us to go! To leave here!
Poppy cheerfully exclaims as he walks down, down, down. To Below everything. To Deep Below Creation where ROOTS lay. Happy to no longer be here. Happy to be pulled out. Happy to be saved. He follows the Man who leads the story and pens it down. To down. To where he. And I reside and stay.
