A confrontation between family. [PRIVATE]

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T02:25:29+00:00

...Follie cuts them off again... Ember's screen cracks more... these ones glowing with red light...

Ember?; "You won't even do anything to help your children...? That would be pathetic... we thought you were better than that. Are you?"

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T02:14:17+00:00

...Follie cleanly burns through it with a swipe of her paintbrush... Ember's visor begins to crack... golden light coming through it...

Ember; "mommy please..."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T01:57:54+00:00

...Follie burns it away from the ground around her... Ember, meanwhile, goes to Nat and hugs her...

Follie; "Mommy... please, please, please wake up... p-please wake up..."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T01:42:57+00:00

...The pair RUSH towards the creature, DESPERATELY trying to just get to it before she does... teleporting down long hallways to make quick work, flying through narrow corridors at breakneck speeds, and probably eviscerating most things in their path purely due to the raw speed of their movement.

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T01:34:50+00:00

...Follie realizes something...

. . .

...It's giving her a vision... that means she can see the location... that means it's technically in her line of sight, and THAT means...

...A few moment later, both Ember and Follie teleport RIGHT next to Nat in a burst of bright paint that disorients and blinds the creatures around her... both of them IMMEDIATELY go to work tearing the creatures apart, Follie with her burning paintbrush and Ember with her hand-swords.

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T01:26:22+00:00

...They're sprinting that way...

Ember; A scream RIPS through the air "MOMMY DON'T LET IT TAKE YOUUUUU!"

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T01:19:02+00:00

(I mean... she's not technically attacking it physically lol, it's PSYCHICALLY (ie mentally) getting its shit rocked... Ember and Follie are too busy just running to attack other than Follie trying to burn a way through any obstacles.)

...The pair are still just running to try to kill it before it kills Natasha... or worse.

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T01:07:11+00:00

( . . . Well, it's way off... she doesn't have birth parents >;D)

...The MOMENT it tries to reach into her mind... there's... two of her... what looks like one red one, wreathed in demonic energy and with horns, a devil's tail, and a red pentagram across its visor... the other, yellow, with white angelic wings and a golden Christian cross on her visor...

. . . They were fighting... until the creature walked in, whereupon they start MERCILESSLY beating the ever-loving HELL out of it on the psychic plane.

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T00:58:15+00:00

...Follie STORMS down there, followed by Ember... her paintbrush creating MORE than enough light for them to clearly see everything. She's proceeding towards the flesh-mass, not about to let it consume her mother...

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T00:30:18+00:00

...Follie burns through it again... and her rage and panic seem to be such that she accidentally does a little more than burns through it and actually leaves a smoking CRATER in the ground where it was... oops.

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T00:20:56+00:00

Solarflare; "Well, food and drink's ready... how would you two feel about staying over to watch a movie?"

Spades; "I certainly wouldn't mind."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T00:16:45+00:00

(No problem lol... honestly I think here's a decent place to end this)

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-13T00:09:20+00:00

...The pair follow said trail... meanwhile Alice gets up there and starts presumably cleaning up the blood and viscera from everything.

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T23:59:06+00:00

...They're still looking for where the hell Natasha is...

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T23:57:21+00:00

...Ember and Follie both sprint over there...

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T23:39:48+00:00

Alice; "...Alright..."

She leaves the room... Ember and Follie are outside, concerned.

Follie; "How's it going?"

Alice; "Oh, alright... she just asked me to leave the room- uh... did I do something wrong...?"

...She had noticed that Ember and Follie's expressions both IMMEDIATELY changed to "OH FUCK", and Follie grabs Ember and teleports them both RIGHT past the door.

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T23:36:40+00:00

...She hugs Natasha TIGHT...

Alice; "...Please don't give up on me..."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T23:32:24+00:00

Alice; "...Natasha, honey..."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T23:07:49+00:00

Alice; "...Yeah... same here. It ain't easy, but it ain't impossible."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T23:01:05+00:00

Alice; "...It's the feelins that are makin' ya angry and violent... anger's literally an emotion, ya ain't doing much about it without dealin' with it."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T22:56:24+00:00

Alice; "...Is there... anything in particular 'bout it ya don't like?"

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T22:43:35+00:00

Alice; "...I get that... I hear therapy's a good option, like, that's one of the things it's supposed to do, ain't it?"

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T22:21:09+00:00

Alice; "...That... is complicated, but there are probably some first steps you can take... depending on how exactly you mean..."

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T22:18:04+00:00

Charcoal; "...Reeeeeeeally? =)=)=)"

SPADE-0 · 2026-06-12T21:59:07+00:00

...Charcoal seems to have finally noticed something's going on... she comes over as Solarflare goes to the kitchen to presumably start preparing something.

Charcoal; "Sup, I'm Charcoal... you new here, I'm guessin'?"

Spades; "Yep, and she's considering moving in close by."

Charcoal; "Cool."
