[ WELL... RIP. SHOMA THREW A BOMB AT THRONE WHO IT TURNS OUT, WAS HIDING ENKEPHALIN IN HER TITTIES. And that is basically raw dimension fuel, so. You can watch that thrown pipe bomb just turn from a normal-sized explosion into something WAY bigger than Shoma probably intended. So.

Throne, Ichiban, and Baiken, with their shit-ass rolls, all just get obliterated into nothing on the spot! Hooray? But fortunately for you, Charles is here to save the day (sort of).

You guys missed this part because I kept your first death super light-hearted and it was going to get worse with each iteration, so now Charles can get to experience the feeling of the watch with its little golden thread that seems more like a chain than not. His own is glowing and warm, burning hot, and the golden glow seems to connect you with the three that just died.

Follow it and he'll suddenly be cognisant of a massive door, towering and horrid -- and it opens when he arrives, a thousand hands reaching out for someone, anyone to hold it. Amongst them, he'll be able to recognise Throne's, Baiken's, and Ichiban's arms.

You'll need to pull them out of the yawning gates of Hell to bring them back this time.

Don't even know what the hell is happening, but—come on!

[ sorry if she is pulling painfully hard. baiken's tough i'm sure she can take it. ]

[ imagine her weakness is having a bad shoulder.

but, no, the yanking can't be worse than being engulfed in the fires of hell along with who knows how many other damned souls. she grips isabel's hand hard, unable to claw her way out on her own. there is probably something to be said about the healing power of friendship, but that's the last thing on baiken's mind as she finally gets dredged past the door.

there's a little shakiness to her breath, but otherwise? she's... fine. yeah. definitely fine. the distant look in her eye is normal, don't worry about it. ]


Thanks.

[ yes lovelace is so sure that this was a completely fine and untraumatizing event. just like the rest of today's adventure has been. surely. ]

No problem.

[he can do it! he does it.

when she's pulled out of the meat dimension, she doesn't make a sound - it's not the first time, and it probably won't be the last time. but even so, she cannot just shake off the way that burning and screaming affects... everything in her brain, so when he pulls her out and she drops to the ground, she climbs to her feet shakily and goes to throw up. sorry, she's kept it in the entire cyoa, but she can't this time, not after turning into a biblically accurate angel and exploding.

and then, after she comes back, shakily:]


S-sor... sorry.

[ this arm is very tired. yes, charles can tell, somehow, even though it is just an arm (for now). ]

[ he is pulled! the grasp on charles's hand tightens, and with another tug, ichiban is freed from the gates of hell once more. sadly, you get no introspection, because i used it all up the other times he ate shit. ]

You only live four times...
