Channelknight Fadran Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 31 minutes ago, Condensation said: "I need to leave." "Creepy girl?" Cadenza turned. Despite the concealing outfit, Cadenza guessed who it was. She put her fists behind her back, reaching for her hilts. But they weren't there. Cadenza took a step back. 21 minutes ago, ProfetessaOscura said: Corwin saw her reaction. Perhaps bravely, but definitely stupidly, he stepped between the two and put a hand on a small knife at his belt. “Leave her alone.” Janice, hands shaking, reached up and pulled off her mask. Her head was still hung; she couldn't bear to meet Cadenza's eyes. "Cadenza--" her voice choked off from there.

Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Just now, Channelknight Fadran said: "I thought we promised to be best friends no matter what." "You stopped first."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: "You stopped first." "No I--" She thought back to it. Right. "Yeah, I... did. I'm sorry."
Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 1 minute ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "No I--" She thought back to it. Right. "Yeah, I... did. I'm sorry." "You're sorry? You're sorry? Sorry isn't enough."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 1 minute ago, Condensation said: "You're sorry? You're sorry? Sorry isn't enough." "Not enough for what? For trying to get my only friend in the entire world back? For you trying to... justify torture?"

Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Just now, Condensation said: "Justifying torture? Who's justifying torture?" "You said that Trace deserved whatever the Queen's doing to her. Have you ever been stabbed with voltaic qhoral by the Queen herself? I have."
Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "No, I haven't. Maybe she doesn't deserve it. But I'm not doing anything for her."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "You don't have to. I'm not. She just wants to be free, and the best way to do that is to defeat the Queen, which is what we're doing." Janice took a tentative step forwards. "I don't trust her either, but I'm willing to help her escape. Just because I know what it's like to be hurt like that."
Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "I'm just here to get away from you. Now that you're here, there's no real reason to stay."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "But--" Janice swallowed. "Why? You mean you weren't sad at all when we had that argument? You mean you were perfectly fine with us running off and saying we hated each other? You were fine with that?"
Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "NO! You think I'd be fine after that? I'm trying to get away!"
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "Don't run away! If you want to feel better then stop hiding from it!"
Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "I'm not hiding! I can face it whenever I want. I'm just not going to now."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "You can't face it if you never want to."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "So that's it, then? You're never going to be my friend again?"
Condensation she/her Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "Why would I? I'm not saying that I won't - just that I have absolutely no reason."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Janice took in a sharp breath, and a single tear ran down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away. No, she wasn't going to guilt Cadenza into changing her mind. "I--did I tell you about my little sister?" Janice asked. "My mother died before she was born."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "Well, I just did." Janice tapped her fingertips together. "I... almost had a sister. And then I killed my entire family."
Channelknight Fadran Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 "Because I never had a family until I met you."
