GOOD CHOICES.

[ You are in a black room.

Like, a 12x12 foot room. With black walls. And a black floor. And a black ceiling. ]

[ WELL YOUR CHEATING IS HELPING

you sure do now have another arm and a leg and a torso laying on the ground. ]

[brotagonist]

[I'M GRABBING THOSE AND I AM PRETTY QUICK ABOUT IT]

[WHY DO ALL OUR DATES TURN INTO CORPSE DATES!!]

[steampunked]

[I DON'T KNOW, BUT I AM GLAD YOU ARE ON THE BALL WITH THAT, BECAUSE THE EFFORT OF DOING THAT HAS PRETTY MUCH MADE ME STAGGER SIDEWAYS! fuck the powercap rrrrrr.]

Now what the fuck do we do?!

[dramatispersonae]

[ YOU SHOULD DO SOMETHING BECAUSE HE SURE IS GOING TO BURN YOU ALIVE IF YOU DON'T.

i mean, he is casually flicking waves of superheated air at you. Both of yous. How's your dodging now ... ]

[brotagonist]

[my dodging is slightly impaired by this baggage! getting a nice sunburn at least on his exposed skin :'D]

Run!

[steampunked]

[oh no my dodging is bad at the best of times!]

Shit shit shit shit shit — [manages to get out of the way in time to not actually get burned alive, but definitely gets a glanced blow of air to the shoulder as she dodges, which she takes with just a strangled yelp and continues hurriedly getting out of the way.

While, you know, getting rid of the jacket that is probably now on fire.]

[brotagonist]

[oh no I hope that wasn't your tattooed shoulder! that's so pretty 8(]

[CAN WE FLEE? I THINK WE ARE TRYING TO FLEE.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ IF YOU CAN FLEE FAST, YES.

You may get some more burns for your trouble though. ]

[steampunked]

[o-ow my everything. Runninggggggg aughhhhh 8(!!1]

[brotagonist]

[THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF MY NEXT HAIRCUT D|]

[dramatispersonae]

[ k you are no longer in danger of being BURNED ALIVE but you've run back into the field of flowers with your.

corpse.

bits. ]

[steampunked]

[now we are far enough away I am just gonna kick a couple of flowers so there's space and then collapse on the ground. wurgh.]

. . . ouch . . .

[brotagonist]

[yes :( MY JACKET IS ALL FUCKED UP and some skin burned wrrgh, though not as badly. drops the... corpse bits...]

How bad are you?

[steampunked]

[examining her metal finger for damage :|a has a burn on that hand, sooo.]

I'll live.

[brotagonist]

How do you fight something like that...

[sounds more thoughtful than discouraged despite burns :|a tries arranging their green corpse buddy so he's in the right order and all his parts are touching, at least.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ . . . you definitely have the makings for a little green man from mars... ]

[steampunked]

[sits up on her elbow to watch . . .]

My usual tricks are out. What're we missing? His head and his leg?

[brotagonist]

Didn't that asshole scorch his head and leg already?

[steampunked]

Then if we're supposed to be putting him back together, we've got a problem. Maybe if we can get the head back off the thing we could . . . do something for it . . .

[brotagonist]

How? D'you think that pillar was important?

Ugh, did you see what he did to the ground...

[steampunked]

Yeah, I saw. I think putting out that fire's important. It's probably what's keeping him going. Now we've got a safe place to leave this guy we should probably sneak back and see what he's doing now.

[brotagonist]

...leeet's get him a little further away first, but yeah. Are your burns bad enough to slow you down?

[looking her over :|a]

[steampunked]

I'm fine, burns are burns. It was mostly the rampant limiter dizziness slowing me down last time. I don't have much juice left.

[brotagonist]

Damn. D'you think you could knock that little bit of wood off the top of the pillar? I don't have anything to throw.

We don't really have anything to put a fire out with, either...

[steampunked]

Yeah, I've got enough for that at least. That's just a pull.
