"I was never one for Nicknames, Pir liked to called Cer'Sherad Ceramic sometimes though".
"Oh husband" laughs Kuu "You don't remember the name I gave you?"
"I am immensely worried now" says Azgoroth looking at his wife as if mortified she would say such a thing.
Vozreal snickered.
"Now I wanna hear it…" He stated
Hel laughs. “Come on! I wanna hear it too!” Keziah gives Hel a double take.
“What, aren’t you in the middle of something!?”
Hel shrugs noncommittally. “She can wait. I think she’s still thinking about it.”
Sure enough, Hex was looking intently at the ground as if she were deep in thought.
“If you insist” chuckles Kuu, Azgoroth starts rapidly shaking his head in an attempt to stop her while Kuu continues “I don’t exactly remember when but I came into his study and almost ran into him coming out the door, in my surprise I accidentally called him Inchworm and it stuck”.
“Why must you embarrass me this way?” Groans Azgoroth staring at the ceiling.
Hel laughs loud and boisterous at the name. "Inchworm!? That's adorable! Kuu, you're a genius!" She continues to hold her gut and slap her knees. Then she looks at Vozreal. "And Vozzie? That's so cute! It's like a name for a little kid!" Keziah keeps her gaze locked on Hex who has not reacted one bit. Hel's laughter dies down and she wipes a tear from her eye. She glances at Azgoroth. "Do you have a name you call Kuu? Please tell me it's a pun. I feel like there is a lot of potential there." Keziah speaks up without looking away from Hex.
"I believe you should redirect your focus elsewhere, Hel. Nicknames can wait."
Hel looks at her. "Well, yeah. I'm still waiting for Hex to tell me our nicknames. Give her some time I'm sure she knows." She turns back to Azgoroth and props her chin on her palm. Keziah does nothing but her fists tighten.
“I’ve never been one to give nicknames to people” wryly says Azgoroth. “Feel free too give one to her if you so desire”.
Hel rubs her hands together with a big smile on her face. "Okay, so, this is for you to use for Kuu cause y'all are married and stuff. I was thinking maybe Kuu Kuu head? Cause you're coo coo for her? Get it?" She gives a cheesy grin. "Ah, you get it! I was also thinking Kuull beans? Like Cool beans? Kinda lame, but I like it. And then, OH! Incase you like copyright strikes! Kuulaid! Y'know? Like the drink? It's great. Way better than angry grape juice." She opens her eyes wide and looks at Azgoroth excitedly. "Say, do you have more of that stuff?"
Keziah claps her hands and looks down at Hel.
"Hel, no."
"Hel, yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO."
"No. Gotcha. Affirmative. Yo comprendo. 理解した." She puts her balled up hand next to her head and then extends her finger next to her temple while nodding vigorously. Keziah crosses her arms and sighs while Hex is frozen in place with her head still bowed and eyes hidden by a curtain of black hair. Whether she is still thinking about Hel's question is unknown at this point.
Keziah glances at Hex momentarily before turning back to Azgoroth, Kuu, and Vozreal. "Do you all have cannibalistic abominations as your worldly parasite, or do you have something more or less manageable?" She says this with a bitter and sarcastic tone.
"I AM the worldly parasite in my universe…" Vozreal stated, coolly
“Well we have greater and lesser famines, Void hungers, I’m sure we have a few world eaters somewhere, the list goes on and on really”. Says Azgoroth, “did I miss anything Kuu?”
“Some dragons might classify as a cannibalistic worldly parasite” offers Kuu, “though I’m not much of an expert on the subject”.
Keziah raises a brow. "Hm, fascinating. To think I am standing in front of a creature that considers himself a worldly parasite, but has shown much behavioral and moral control. I must applaud you for that." She does with little fanfare. She turns to the married couple. "I see. So you have quite the infestation in your realm, hm. Hopefully they do not pose as much of a threat than The Beast. It had to be dropped down an abyss to be disposed, and it still didn't die. Quite a nuisance."
Hel nods in affirmation. "Yeah. You think my Ressurective Rune is bs? She has a Ressurective Curse. Which is basically the Rune, but on steroids and HELLA specific." She turns to look at her sister. Hex still has her head bowed and eyes trained on the floor. Hel leans forward slightly. "Hey, do you remember yet?" Nothing. She doesn't react to Hel's words at all. She looks at her sister with concern. "Sis?" She hesitantly reaches a claw out to brush away a strand of hair. Even though Hex's most hated, despised, and loathed adversary had touched her, she doesn't react in the slightest. She just keeps staring at the floor. Hel's concern increases. "Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Keziah huffs in irritation.
"Hel, this is pathetic, even for you. It doesn't care. What makes you think it would remember something so trivial? If it ate it's own mother, do you really think nicknames would be important to it?"
Hel huffs in irritation and ignores Keziah. She rests a hand on Hex's shoulder and lightly shakes it. Still nothing. Keziah grits her teeth.
"Don't touch it. It could kill you." Hel continues to ignore her. Keziah grunts indignantly and turns away from her. "Could someone please talk some sense into this idiot!?"
“I don’t actually believe that’s physically possible” muses Azgoroth
“Though Hel, it would be preferred that you: what’s the term, ‘wrap this up’ sooner so that Kuu and I can return to Illvicta, and I can make sure no time paradoxes or otherworldly reversals or fast forwards have happened, and perhaps a few other reasons”.
(I catch your drift, sorry bout that)
Keziah turns to Hel with her arms crossed. "See? Even they want nothing to do with this. Drop it and let's go. Our work here is done."
Hel suddenly gets up and glares at Keziah with very real anger. "Listen. I have to know if she remembers, okay? I have to. You wouldn't understand."
Keziah's hair flares up and her eyes seize between colors. "You're right. I DON'T. You want to risk your limb for this abhorrent creature for a dead memory for no reason. It killed you, me, your mother, more than half the world and almost The Void. But you are so blinded by silly, stupid, delusional wishes that you don't even register that it hates you. But I'm not going to let you spiral into this ceaseless-"
"String bean."
Hel freezes.
Keziah blinks.
Hex remains.
I was called "string bean."
Hel turns around and kneels to Hex's level. Slowly, she lifts her head and reveals blank, white eyes filled with apathy and nothingness.
And you were called "little light."
Hel gapes at her sister. And a wide smile spreads on her face. "You DO remember!" She claps with joy while Hex growls at her, bloodlust rising back into her eyes.
Only because she called us that so many times. I'm sure she forgot our true names. Hel snickers. Keziah sighs dejectedly.
"Good grief."
Hel looks at her sister a little longer. Hex snarls in retaliation. If we are done, I would rather return to our realm than look at your repulsive eyes any longer.
Hel squints slightly.
"Do you hate mom?"
Hex drops the tension in her shoulders in annoyance. Yes. With my entire being.
Hel blinks. "Does she hate you?"
At that, Hex is slightly taken aback. She looks to the right side and thinks momentarily. …No.
Hel widens her eyes slightly. "So she loves you?"
Hex looks back at her sister with nothing. No.
Hel hums and stands up. She turns to The Squad and Keziah. "Alrighty. I guess we are completely done here!"
Keziah uncrosses her arms. "Finally." She snaps her fingers and in one second, the room is filled with a bright, white light. The being formerly known as Keziah manifests in her place once more. It waves its hand nonchalantly and a vortex of swirling indescribably shapes and colors appears. Hel claps her hands again.
"Okay, well… I guess this is goodbye? No, no. See you soon! Or, see you later? How about, see you around? I can't decide! Heh!" The being suddenly begins to fizzle out. Reality has recognized it's presence and attempts to delete it. It resists the effects to bow its head, as if to say "farewell."
"Bye???" He said, confused.
"I guess this is the end, huh Azgoroth?" He stated, getting his stuff and pimp cane. He started to walk off, along with Sindy and Britney. As he left, a piano version of "We'll meet again, some sunny day" started playing
"Alas, but we must depart" Sighs Azgoroth "You were all great allies and strong warriors, perhaps one day we may meet again. Make no mistake though, I have extensive logs on each and every one of you I will be going over in IMMENSE detail. But besides that, Farewell, I give all that can receive it the blessings of the Elder gods, Vale".
Beneath Kuu and Azgoroth a rune appeared and glowed furiously, they vanished. Time seemed to speed, as if it had been held back by some otherworldly force the whole time. And all that was left was a lingering smoke in the air, and the faint sounds of inter dimensional rifts spinning.
~~~~~
"They seemed like nice people" Said Kuu as the pair appeared in the vast labrythian building the pair called home.
"That they were" Smiles Azgoroth "Ah, but what is done is done, we are once again together and I have some new material to look over, oh and Kuu".
"Yes?"
"How do you feel about children?"
(OOC: Thanks guys, It's been fun. I'll drop off for a while, maybe y'all will see me again, maybe not. IAMUS, Out)
Hel watches as everyone says their farewells and departs. She turns to look at the being, who had begun to glitch out of existence, but maintained its form briefly. Hel walks towards Hex and helps her stand. She forces her away and growls. I do not need your pity. I would rather die than feel any semblance of fascination you have for me. Hel shrugs noncommittedly. "Whatever you say sis. Let's go home. We have a story to tell." Hex snorts indignantly and stumbles into the portal. Hel lingers for a little longer. She looks up at the being. It stares back at her with a pitying gaze.
"I'll be fine, really. This will all just seem like an amazing dream in the end. It was fun while it lasted. I want to remember their faces and voices and stories and jokes and…"
A light ringing, like bells on a windchime, softly floats in the air. Hel gives a pained, but happy smile. "Yeah… that's true… let's go, Helen. We aren't the important ones anyway. It's better if this all stays as a dream" Hel walks though the portal, and it closes behind her. The being, dubbed Helen, closes her eyes. She disintegrates into black foam and dead stars, and lets reality take her away back into the faithless void that loves and hates her. All that's left behind is a faint melody.
(OOC: I LOVE THAT LITTLE EXCHANGE IT'S REALLY CUTE!!! Anyway yeah, this was loads of fun guys! Everyone's characters felt so alive and interesting and I'm so glad we all participated so thoroughly! IAMUS, I hope you still develop your stories and characters. They seem so cool and fascinating! And D.I.P. (Divine Irish Potato for short) I hope you have a great time roleplaying with us! I hope you all had fun rping and I'll see you around the forums! Deuces!
(I guess this is goodbye, huh?)
(And I did have a good time)
(OOC: Yeah, sorry if it seemed abrupt. TBH, I'm starting to get into midterms/essay week at my school and although this was a huge stress reliever it was also a big distractor lmao, so i'm glad it reached a conclusion. This was so dang fun, we had drama, action, comedy, development kinda, and a cool adventure! This is the first time I've "finished" an rp so i'm glad we had a fun time. ^u^)
(you guys can revive it. i just might not be on for a while)
(Did someone say we could.. revive? Will do…)
JosephMalefique has entered the chat.
"I'm here. What's all this about villains then?" Joseph fixed his tie and made sure his labcoat was straight. This could prove to be quite the interesting experiment.
( I was told to revive and this is the response I get)
(wow)
(Hi, sorry, it's just that this chat kind of ended. Like a whole bunch of characters already interacted, had an adventure, defeated a main main villain and said bye to each other all within 50 pages, so yeah. I mean I guess it's up to the person who created the discussion to call the shots, and since they said this can be revived, then I guess you can start up a chat. My main concern is that since a full discussion was already concluded, another one could seem a bit cumbersome in one chatroom. Then again, I am not fully familiar in rp etiquette, so I could be sounding like a jerk. Idk. I'm just giving my two cents since I was part of the previous chat discussion and I think it would be best to create a new chat room all together to avoid a T H I C C chat, but that's just me. Do what you want, go nuts.
(I would like another rp like that one, but not in this chat)
(Ah I see. Someone said "You can revive" and so I tried)
