"That's a little concerning."

Should I take over?

..."A little concerning."

Awww, c'mon. I'm so   b o  o        o     o r e d

Man, give it a break. You've only been here for... what, three weeks?

...Oh, great.

"Oh. Great." Zodiac's arm reached out into a twisted vine, wrapping about the doppleganger and squeezing its innards out in a burst of purple goop. "And yes; you've only been here three weeks. Get used to it."

The voice of second spoke into Zodiac's mind, bypassing every defense that there might be.

"The one who screams," the voice of Second spoke, "The one who runs. The one who... hides in a forest with a bag?"

Their tone switched to a genuine amused tone. "I hate people like you. String users, people behind the show. And I know who you are, hiding behind that screen. And people who watch. I would much rather watch you suffer now, but that would be feigning ignorance."

A snap in the real world brought back those who were reading this post. Zodiac was suspended by strings, entagling him but extremely resiliant to cutting."Zodiac, was it?" The second said, "Well, you'll be a great actor."

"Huh."

You sure you don't want out?

"Eh."

The second walked around him apprehensively. "Where to kill you? Where to kill?"

"If I'm being completely honest here, I have no idea. I haven't exactly tried looking for something like that."

"Hm. You're a dull one, aren't you?"

"It helps to balance my palette." Zodiac gestured at their everything.

"Feigned ignorance," the Second continued, "Is by far THE WORST act you could do here."

The Keynote Needle weapon Second was holding cut through the strings holding Zodiac, making him fall to the ground. Second held on to it like a soldier with a gun. With great care but deep knowing.

"Show me what you're made of, Zodiac." Second said, then charged at Zodiac with unusual speed.

"Oh, goodness. That would take way too long. I mean... you're like a body double, right? Does that mean you know your own chemical structure?"

They were holding Second's core now - it was a strange mixture of old heart tissue, dark red metal, seeping oil, gleaming blue vapors... it dripped down across their hand like an ooze. When Zodiac had collected it was unclear.

"Well, do. I'd be fine without a core for a little while, but I dunno about you. Did you know that without exposure to energy, organic tissue will cannibalize itself in a chaotic frenzy for survival? All corpses become cancerous, before the tumors die off as well, unable to maintain their shape... and thus the cycle continues. Sometimes bacteria or amoebae or fungus will conquer the remaining energy supply for a time, but sooner or later the body is gone."

There was an odd twinkle in their eye. Probably because Penn had doodled it there.

"Yours happens to be quite demanding."

"Hm? A core?" Second made this laughing sound. "I don't have one. So either that is fake, or that is your own core."

Second gestured to the skies above. "I am a puppet. I get my energy externally."

Second looked at Zodiac, then said, "I think you should put your heart back in. After all, you could survive without it. But it wouldn't be pleasant. Microorganisms can inhabit it, causing major damage to organ functions. Energy, when uncontained can split off and form subfaults, or subschisms, where it devours physical space to crease a slash fold universe. In the end, a puppet's corpse is negilable compared to the slow deterioration of that organic shell of yours."

Xiylna continues floating around aimlessly. “I don’t know where I am,” she says, surprised. “I don’t remember…why don’t I remember?”

Second approaches her, ignoring Zodiac holding his own core. "I can restore them, free of charge, if you want."

Xiylna looks at her, vapor swirling. "Who are you? Do I trust you?"

"To understand?" Second asked, "When you can't even make the decision yourself as you too will never understand?"

Second flicked their hand and sleeper was tossed back a good ten yards. "You're the least interesting person here. You're a one dimensional side character. I don't need you anymore."

“Hey!” Xiylna says. “Don’t do that. Some people can’t fly. That might hurt him!”

Shovel man sneaks up behind Second and attempts to smack them with his shovel.

Not me, just second.

And he runs into a trap, which trips him and makes him fall flat on his face.

But the second raises up a hand to stop that before it happens. Despite the shovel hitting second, he didn't take any noticable knockback.

"You're right. But he keeps on getting in the way."
