Masquerade - These Masks We Wear

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

'Oh come on," Fischer said as he adjusted his grip on Nico. "Ya said tha' you're a coward, bu' you chose ta face forcing me ta leave than watching us die. Tha's a different kinda bravery. Ya did wha' was best for the both of us even when I was thinkin' tha' wasn't the case."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Nico stayed silent, his vision and hearing dimming. 

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

Fischer glanced quickly at his old friend, "stay wif me. C'mon, tell me somefin' 'bout the years we were apar'."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Fischer.. Do you still love me?"

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

'Do I-" He paused midstep, "uh, I thin- It's differen' now, bu' I think I still do."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"I think... I think I's in love with someone else, Fischer. A... a girl."

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

"A . . . girl?" He furrowed his brow, "but I thought tha' . . ."

"I ain't worth crem..." 

"You're disturbing, you know that?" He sighed. "You probably do. What do you want from me?"

"Shadees here didn't tell you? We're looking for a sword."

"Yeah, I thought so too." He smiled. "Names Wendy. She's a waitress."

Just now, xinoehp512 said:

"Shadees here didn't tell you? We're looking for a sword."

"Well, yes, I heard that much."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Just now, Zephrun's Imperium said:

"Yeah, I thought so too." He smiled. "Names Wendy. She's a waitress."

"Well, yes, I heard that much."

"Good. You'll want to stab yourself with that spike, then."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Maverick's eyes widened mockingly. "Excuse me?"

"Is she . . ." Fischer cleared his throat, trying to hide his conflicted emotions on the subject. "Is she nice to you?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Oh, Fischer. She... She..." Nicolae blacked out.

[The Ward's Guard he/him]

"Oh, Fischer. She... She..." Nicolae blacked out.

"Nico?" He shook his friend, "Nico!" Fischer began to practically run, shouting for someone, anyone to help him.

Umbra mimed stabbing herself, adding an imaginary urk for emphasis.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"And what good will stabbing myself do, exactly?"

Leina nodded. "Is... Do you think you will be okay? Eventually? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"It's a demon. Concentrated for your convenience. It will make you strong."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"I'm sorry, I'm not putting a demon in my body. I think I can just get the sword without it thank you very much."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Umbra raised an eyebrow. "You're more skilled than your brother, are you?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Unlike my brother, I don't need to sneak into the castle to get anything." He sighed. "The king knows me and trusts me. If I request an audience, I can get in without any trouble."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"No. I'm fine." Wendy smiled. "What's your name? Leina?"

[DramaQueen she/he/neopronouns]

"Yes. And you are?"
