[She laughs.] Of course she believes it. No, no, Roxy does not say things that are false. She'll talk around the truth, redirect, exaggerate or undersell.
I'm sad to say I was incredibly slow on that one. It was so obvious right from the start. [...] But I let my love for my sister blind me to what was right in front of me all along. That's not the case anymore.
[Stepping to the side, no longer hiding Roxy from dark Roxy.]
She'll just punch me in the face if I do that. Wanted to the moment I started talking. It's why I gagged her, she kept talking and talking and talking to deceive herself and ignore me.
...A cute young lady who needs someone better put together than me. I'm working on that. [...] If you haven't realized I've been taking my shards for you all along trying to find a me that isn't too screwed up to help you, you're an idiot.
I won't let her hit you. Are you really expecting to solve anything making a porno scene out of this?
Stop making stupid jokes! Do you think this is a joke?! I think I'm owed being pissed at you!
How many times have you been cruel to her because she wasn't progressing fast enough for you?! Do you know how much it hurts to always blame myself everytime things go badly with you?!
Oh please. You're twisting your feelings. There's wanting to be selfish and then there's this travesty. You want to blame everyone, but you're not even very good at it. Because you don't really want to blame anyone, but yourself still. I don't care anymore. If you want to be a damn wreck? Be a damn wreck. Want to hate yourself? Can't handle the truth? Pissed at me for the rest of forever? Fine.
I'll come get you whether it's at a stupid drinking party, here, your universe or the void. ...But I really would like you to just accept what you are. I'm running out of ways to bullshit my way around watching your back. And yeah I have been trying to set you up with Sparrow because you seriously need to learn how to get close to people and sorry, but I run circles around you in that department. You have any other issues you want to be a creeper at yourself about?
[Looking at Roxy as he says this, dark Roxy can deal okay.]
Are you? Are you really? ...You know this is a game, right.
[The air around dark Roxy turns into cutting blades of wind. Nothing deadly, all shallow-- but it's enough to kick up the ash while Zelos pulls out his knife and throws it in her direction. ...Not. Accurate. Cause he does not have x-ray vision, but whatevs. Looking at normal Roxy!]
Does your tacky curtain have something helpful behind it, blink once for yes, twice for it'll kill me. Or just make a panicked noise if you have no idea.
[Panicked noise, panicked noise, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ANYTHING IS AND IT'S TERRIBLE.]
[It's probably concerning that the other Roxy isn't screaming. Might be more concerning when the knife comes rocketing back at him and that's VERY accurate.]
[Well. Shit. Bringing up his scabbard to block that, but he's slow and it ends with a knife in his arm. ...Nice of her to give it back???]
Shiii--t! Do you just have no respect for my clothes or something?! This is high quality cloth!
[He is a douchebag. Pulling out the knife and pressing the palm of his hand to the wound. He's pretty sure this is supposed to end in either, good end: Roxy accepts herself. Bad end: he dies horribly. But hell if he's giving Nyssa his suffering.]
You might as well just pull out your void tricks now. Robin, are you still freaking out?
Let's be honest: you want a reason not to walk out into the void. I can give you a thousand. I can make you every promise under the sun. Hell, if you wanted I could go back to your universe with you once you get it back.
But this isn't about me. It's about you. And unless you're willing to fess up and accept every part of yourself whatever I say isn't going to matter. But you were right about something--I am a hypocrite. Only me and people I approve are allowed to make you face your feelings. ...Nyssa can fuck off.
So. I want to take Roxy home. Which way are we going to do this?
Maybe. She can deal with you in her own time on her own terms though. It's not going to be perfect, but that's fine.
She has Ratatoskr. And she has her friends. You still didn't answer my question-- are you going to let her go or are we going to make a melodramatic brawl out of this?
...Because her nature is to do things for others. And coming to terms with herself is something Ratatoskr needs her to do.
[Well if they are back to this he is just going to look his wound over and heal himself, he is kind of bleeding all over and it is just a bit of a bitch.]
Reyson's asked it of her. Ruby's asked it of her. I'm selfishly demanding it. She can't really escape what she is. Is that enough for you or do you want her to swear it in blood or something?
Ruby didn't really try hard at all. Reyson is even more of a disappointment because he has an idea of what it's like to be one of the last, and yet he just let's her go on. Will scold her about drinking and other 'problematic' things, but when it's the thing she needs REAL help in? He's silent! [Tears are building in her eyes.
She needs the demands because she won't do it otherwise.
That's why I'm demanding it.
Stop.
I'm sick of being hurt because the universe wants to take everything from me. Three times is too much. [And that's an actual sob.]
[Oh my god, you are pulling at his heart. You bitch. Except it's more for Roxy having to...put up with this. He has some crazy feelings, but at least they've never been twisted psychotically in a game like this.]
Is that really you? Or is this just the game?
[Looking at Robin....? And back at dark Roxy. Both of them really.]
[The Dark Roxy looks at her with wide eyes and then sob and the tears are falling.] I just wanted you to accept the truth! The void isn't something to fear, it's apart of us! It's them you should be afraid of!
They'll leave you again! Just like always, but you won't SEE IT!
So I'll have to make you see it.
[And the dark aura is flaring up around the Dark Roxy as Robin's eyes roll up and she slumps over in the chair.]
If it's void, she'll stop hurting me. [And her voice is SHIFTING, and the whispers are becoming an undertone now.]
[The other Roxy starts morphing, getting taller, back arching, clothes turning into fur, and...grew cat ears? Actually, it appears she's some sort of lithe two legged cat-werewolf like creature. That is until the beak formed on her mouth, and tentacles grew from her side. Tears were constantly falling from her eyes.]
[There was also a hole in the middle of her chest, the void crest surrounding the hole.]
[This is probably the worst instance of being like your animes.]
Re: One on One
But say something completely not true?
Never.
Unless it's to herself.
Re: One on One
[Stepping to the side, no longer hiding Roxy from dark Roxy.]
Untie Robin.
Re: One on One
What do you see?
Re: One on One
I won't let her hit you. Are you really expecting to solve anything making a porno scene out of this?
[HE IS JUST SAYING...]
Re: One on One
How many times have you been cruel to her because she wasn't progressing fast enough for you?! Do you know how much it hurts to always blame myself everytime things go badly with you?!
Re: One on One
Re: One on One
She knows what I want from her. You do too.
Asked her to depend on you and walked away, she had to do SOMETHING. So she did what she always did.
Re: One on One

[Looking at Roxy as he says this, dark Roxy can deal okay.]
Re: One on One
Of course she can't blame others. It's not how she's wired. Always depending on herself and it's not like life changed it!
She's the kind of person who thinks she can always fall back on her friends.
And now she can't.
You're the best she's got and isn't that just pathetic?
[Roxy looks at the Shadow and Zelos and shakes her head. No, no it's not!]
Re: One on One
You know, normally I'd agree with you, but... I'm going to admit I haven't been honest. I did find a me who can actually help you.
[A white circle appears around his feet.]
I just didn't want you taking it the wrong way. Yo, are you going to let Robin go or what?
Re: One on One
Can't let go someone I'm a part of.
Re: One on One

You might as well just pull out your void tricks now. Robin, are you still freaking out?
Re: One on One
[As the dust settles, there's the other Roxy. There's wounds, bleeding bright red blood, but she just looks....dead.]
So. That's how you're going to deal with me?
Re: One on One
But this isn't about me. It's about you. And unless you're willing to fess up and accept every part of yourself whatever I say isn't going to matter. But you were right about something--I am a hypocrite. Only me and people I approve are allowed to make you face your feelings. ...Nyssa can fuck off.
So. I want to take Roxy home. Which way are we going to do this?
Re: One on One
And of course she isn't willing. I wouldn't be here otherwise.
[Roxy is...still at the word though. Her hands twitch up, as if to reach for something on her person.]
Re: One on One
She has Ratatoskr. And she has her friends. You still didn't answer my question-- are you going to let her go or are we going to make a melodramatic brawl out of this?

I want her to stop.
Ruby didn't really try hard at all. Reyson is even more of a disappointment because he has an idea of what it's like to be one of the last, and yet he just let's her go on.

They'll leave you again! Just like always, but you won't SEE IT!

[And the dark aura is flaring up around the Dark Roxy as Robin's eyes roll up and she slumps over in the chair.]
Re: One on One
...I feel like I'm watching myself. [And it's horrible.] You don't want to be alone that much?
Re: One on One
If it's void, she'll stop hurting me. [And her voice is SHIFTING, and the whispers are becoming an undertone now.]
