Week 5

[airlockedmods]

[As with the weeks before, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to something resembling normalcy with shocking efficiency. The second floor rest area and Adventure Zone Death Orb Room are spotless again, the demon glitter has been vacuumed, the deflated orbs have been replaced. It's like none of it ever happened, like three more friends aren't dead and stored away in the guest house morgue.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

'Doesn't think he's worth that'...? When did I say anything of the sort?

I'm worth more than you seem to think I believe. I did nothing wrong save only for fulfilling my purpose, and this is the end it's led me to.

And I am far, far worse than Roland.

[desperateprayer]

...And I wasn't angry at Roland, either, was I? But Ardyn... What you say, and how you act... Are two different things. You can say you're worth a lot... And I do think you're worth plenty... But you seem to act almost like I did when I first arrived. Everything you're saying is trying to push me away. I won't let you.

[ ...Well, she will physically let go of him for the moment. ]

...Whatever happened... Sounds incredibly sad. You don't have to talk about it now--or ever. But... I do care about you. No matter what.

[scourgingstars]

[Ardyn pressed a hand to his face but didn't move; if he turned around, he didn't honestly know if Clarith would be confronted with the human he'd presented himself as or the Accursed he actually was.]

You should waste that compassion on someone that actually believes you.

[desperateprayer]

Then I'll just keep trying to prove it to you until you believe it.

[ She has gone through the bullshit mire that is Evillious and come out zen. ]

[scourgingstars]

...It really will destroy you in the end.

[desperateprayer]

We'll see.

[ She's going to go retrieve her Bible. ]

...Thank you, Ardyn. For everything.

[scourgingstars]

You shouldn't expect much more from me.

The Ardyn that you knew...he's disappearing, Clarith. And I doubt it will take all that long.

[desperateprayer]

...I think he'll only disappear if we let go of that. You must... Be very tired of fighting to hold onto yourself.

[ She'll smile at his back, again. ]

...It's all right. You have some good people willing to help you fight. So you can rest a little bit. I promise... We won't lose the ground you've fought so hard to keep.
