Oh, I forgot to ask! How are you and Corona doing?
We think she’s catching on.
Fine, thank you.
*eyes widen* W-wait.. he stole your power.. he was draining you.. to the point where you needed to get magic Elsewhere.. *his mood seems to drop again, he looks away, a bit in shock*.. dear Luna.. *he says quietly*
*She hugs him.* Don’t worry. We survived. What’s more, We’re pretty sure We shattered Amethyst’s soul during the encounter.
Wait.. why would you have to use the trees residual magic? You clearly are powerful enough to handle him. *was never informed about how Dark Descent nearly drained all of her magic for him self*
Dark Descent tricked Us by taking on your form, then when he got close to Us he drained Our power. He had Amethyst’s help as well.
thank you -walks to the grand hall and enters- well, long time no see nightmare, you haven't changed much, though i cant say the same for me ({resend just in case})
Yes. It has been some time, hasn’t it.
Arcel has told Us you’ve been making some trouble for him.
(( OOPSIE :P I knew i forgot SOMETHING! )) *The guard stands silently*
*Nightmare Moon turns to look at the guard.* Are you new on the force? We don’t think We’ve seen you before.
*It bows* Yes and hello from me too. Nyniera: Roit, so Oi hear your troying to sell us out with this Research agreement of yours?
*Blinks for a moment as she works through Nyniera’s accent.* Sell you out? What do you mean?
*blinks* D-damaged.. oh dear.. how badly, what happened? That tree is a one of the few living examples of ancient magic left out there, at least the visible ancient magic that is not dangerous.
We used the residual magic within it to fight him off. It ended up drained nearly to the point of death.
Since then, Our scientists have worked out a way to pump fresh magic into it. It’s still a bit sickly, but nearly back to its former self.
-walks to the front gate- excuse me, id like to speak with nightmare
*The guards look at each other, then send a messenger into the castle. He returns some time later, with a note. One of the guards reads it, then nods.*
Guard: All right. She’ll meet you in the grand hall.
“Thanks, Moony…”
All the doppelgangers dim a little, slowly. Vriska continues to twitch slightly as she looks around the room.
“We don’t think this is the best time to talk about it, but whenever you’re ready We will listen. Now, how about we leave this place for somewhere more comfortable?”
Vriska nods. “Yeah. Anywhere, really…” She pauses and looks at Twilight. “I knew you’d come 8y… thanks for that.”
The doppelgangers fade some more. Two of them are almost completely gone, and a third is not far behind.
“How about we go home? We could have a sleepover.”
“Thanks, Moony…”
All the doppelgangers dim a little, slowly. Vriska continues to twitch slightly as she looks around the room.
“We don’t think this is the best time to talk about it, but whenever you’re ready We will listen. Now, how about we leave this place for somewhere more comfortable?”
Looks to nightmare, the ones not being held yet get pulled into his illusions, “Should I work on removing them from the castle Nightmare, or do you have something else in mind?”
If We’re correct, they’ll disperse on their own. If they don’t, We’ll want to study them carefully before doing anything.
