Random Encounter: An Interaction
Queen Phantom: So... your King still lives?
Nice! Tia: *nods, smiling* Operation Nero has been in effect for 4 years now!
Queen Phantom: *Is in disgusted shock* So... the other kingdoms...
Nice! Tia: *Chuckles lightly* What other kingdoms?
Queen Phantom: *She looks down at her amulet, a sad look on her face. She mumbles a few words to herself* No wonder he made me-...
Nice! Tia: So what about your Theodore?! What’s he like?
Queen Phantom: *She chuckles coldly, her eyes going dark* A dead man.
Nice! Tia: Oh... I’m so sor-
Queen Phantom: *She glares at her doppelganger, cutting her off* A dead man, but a better man then yours ever will be...
Nice! Tia: *she gives a small, playful pout* Well that’s not very nice. Besides, our Kings are the same! Mine is just the side he never want-
Queen Phantom: *She stands abruptly, interrupting her doppelganger as she practically screamed in her face, fury burning in her eyes* MINE IS NOTHING LIKE YOURS! HE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE YOURS! AT LEAST MINE DIDN’T WANT TO WATCH THE WORLD BURN!
Nice! Tia: *She’s backed up against a wall, her right hand slightly covering face. She seemed genuinely scared for a moment*
Queen Phantom: *She stares at her for a moment, before sighing. Fixing her dress* Do you want to know the main difference between your Drye and mine? *She glares at her for another moment* My King died a hero...a sick hero, but a hero nonetheless. He died, because he knew he had to, for the world to unite as one. Yours lived to become the villain. He lived to watch the world burn. He’s no better then his version of his father.
Nice! Tia: *She stayed eerily silent throughout the Queen’s whole speech, She could only give a simple snort when the Queen had finished. The sweetness from her voice had completely vanished* Do you honestly think I’m happy?
Queen Phantom: *She raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms*
Nice! Tia: *She stands, staring at her original, with the same stone-cold glare* I had to watch all my old friends burn. I had to watch my old lover burn. I had to watch the entire world turn to ash, while the King just simply stood back, and laughed. YOU at least got to stop it. I couldn’t. *She looks down at her own amulet, gripping it hard* You get to love him for who he was. Whatever little love I had for him... left long ago.
Queen Phantom: *A suspicious look overtakes her* Then why not kill him when he’s asleep? You have nothing holding you back anymore
Nice! Tia: *she gives a dried out, rusted laugh, like she hadn’t laughed genuinely in a long time* Didn’t you hear me? All the other nations are dead. I couldn’t rebuild the world, it’s too late for that. Basically everything is under his rule by this point, and the Rebellion is dying a slow, painful death. Anything outside the King’s rule or the Rebellion’s hold is just Wasteland. No man’s land. Plus, everyone in the Kingdom brainwashed by his “love” would just kill me for murdering their “precious” king. Besides... *she grips her amulet tighter, starting to draw blood from her hand* Something replaced the love that left a long time ago. Something that stops me from killing him each night. Something much worse. *She looks at her original again, tears in her eyes* Obsession.
Queen Phantom: *Sympathy & empathy overtook her cold expression. She could easily still remember how borderline obsessed she was with her own king. How she was willing to do anything to protect him, and keep him from leaving or forgetting about her. She looks down at her feet, as if lost in thought and memory*
Nice! Tia: *She smiles halfheartedly, wiping away the tears that had started to fall* So now you see my plight. I literally can’t kill him, and I don’t think I’ll ever have the courage to take my own life. So I have to just have to forever act the part as his “Loyal Subject.” You want to know the worst part?
Queen Phantom: *She chuckles sadly, already knowing what she was gonna say* You’re slowly finding yourself turning more and more into him, right?
Nice! Tia: *She smirked* I guess you know from my experience~
Queen Phantom: *Her smile falls as she thinks to herself for a moment* Why must all versions of me be destined for nothing but toxic love, and insanity?
Nice! Tia: *she giggles, her overly saccharine voice & aura back* Because we attract what we are, my darling~
