tune

Epsilon: sniffs her. You are not the dreams I eat. no offense, but you might taste yucky. tilts head what do you mean?

Half-Life: I- I don't know what I mean… I… I think I'm a Shade, but… I… do not remember…

(Note: Half-Life has amnesia, and is Undead. She is an amalgamation of all of her incarnations.)

Tyr: playing with Mister and talking to him in various different Seafarer tongues to see which ones he understands

Mister: chitters in return to them all

Tyr: moans in Whale, a long, haunting call Try that.
Tyr: I would give you some Jellyfish, but that's not possible here. I can't shift, and you wouldn't be able to reply anyway.

(It's about 2 1/2 inches.)

Half-Life: Is lost in the labyrinth of her own mind.

Epsilon: raises hand. Ooh! May I please have a jeffyfish?

Half-Life: When Epsilon speks, she's suddenly jerked back in time, to a place where Epsilon was merely a young boy, innocent and carefree. She was standing in the doorway of a cottage, calling the boy to come inside, but he couldn't hear. The memory ends.

Epsilon: turns around, blushing their fluffy blue hair out of their face as they notice half-life’s blank stare. are you okie dokie?

Half-Life: Walks over and wraps her son in a tight hug. I am so, so sorry…

(WOOOOAH)
(That’s even cooler bc epsilon doesn’t even have a story! They just kind of came to me DX)

Epsilon: is confused, yet returns the hug. don’t be sad! I can find other things to eat. Everyone here doesn’t like me and they would not apprecieciate if I ate their dreams… they thought cluelessly

(Lmao, I didn't even really know that. I'm kinda just… making shit up rn!)

Half-Life: Hugs Epsilon all the tighter. Oh gods, if I'd known you would have died that day… I- I- She bursts into tears. I am so sorry, Daniel…

Epsilon: even more confused. I can’t die… and I’m not Daniel! giggles. I’m epsilon!

Half-Life: Cries harder, knowing that this new entity that has taken over her son has no idea that the kid it posessed had a family. Quietly, she grips the knife hidden in her waistband, then quickly brings it up, burying it up to the hilt in the demon's chest. It would be a quick death for the demon, and it should release her child.

Epsilon: choked on tears, crying out as they drop limply.
That… that hurts!! Why did you hurt me?! they cried

Half-Life: Sobbing I- I'm sorry, Epsilon… I know you were just trying to survive. M- maybe you'll come back as another one of my children…

Epsilon: stares, terrified as they slowly start to die.
B-but I can’t die! I can’t! they choked, coughing up blood as they laid limply on the ground.
It hurts so bad…

Half-Life: Still holding Epsilon, her tears starting to dry. Shhh… I know… just wait for me in the Afterlife, okay? I'm sorry about this… I'll make sure you come back, okay?

Epsilon: cries, trying to wiggle away from half-life.
Why don’t you like me? What did I do wrong? they cried softly, skin growing cold as their breath slowly escaped. Their limp body splayed on the floor in a mural of pain and betrayal.

Half-Life: Sobs quietly for a few minutes. Then, she wipes away her tears and drys her eyes. Slowly, she gets up, pulling Epsilon's dead form out of her child, knowing Daniel will be unharmed.

Epsilon: writhes and twitches even in death
Daniel: slowly starts to wake up, blinking softly. hello?

Half-Life: Smiles Oh gods, you're you… she wraps Daniel in a tight hug. I missed you lots, did you know that?

Daniel: coughs violently. wh-where am I?

Half-Life: Leans back slightly. We are home, Daniel. We agreed: home is wherever we are. She strokes her child's forehead, relieving him of any and all negative effects possesion had on him.
