five ☠ video | open to both sides!
[There's something distinctly different about Fear when he turns the video on this time. He seems even less human than normal, not breathing, not blinking, as if he's forgotten how to manipulate his form so that it actually appears lifelike.
He manages to move his mouth as he speaks, but the motion doesn't quite sync up with the words echoed in through the mic.]
...so I've finally failed.
[His eyes are unfocused, but he looks downward, contemplative.]
I only got half the city out. It won't be enough- we can't start over, not without Hope. So it ends here, I suppose.
[He takes in his first breath since beginning the recording, letting it out in a long sigh.]
I'm sorry.

[Of course it wasn't, and she knows that, but she's still a bit... fragile. She just woke up yesterday, after all.]
What's happening? Is there anything I can do?
threadjack / action.
( Just saying. )
But I'm gettin' the feeling we were fucked with or without your trance.
no subject
I can do better-- I can do better! They're trying to help us, and I want to help them too!
[She knew it! She'd believed they weren't all bad, and whatever this is, it's proving her right.]
So be scared. I'm terrified. Give Fear more power, don't let him be too tired! Sorrow's thinking of another plan, he said. We have to believe in them!
no subject
But Kate's more concerned with her friend than the gods right now. )
Only thing you can do now is help us. Just lost a whole lot of city functions - ( Sure, things are back, but they're not nearly the right quality, are they?) - it's gonna mean trouble.
no subject
Hope's not here, right? Can't let people get hurt. We don't know if he can revive them when he's somewhere else.
no subject
Don't sound like it. Guess we're on our own.
( And doesn't this feel just cosy. Like the good old days. At least she has a blessing and Faith is Faith.
They've got something. )
Need to make sure supplies are kept safe. Make sure this place is secure.
( Practical things. Things that can be done, because this could get worse. Things often do. )
no subject
They'll be fine, no matter what it takes.]
I've got your back. An' I can do patrols to make sure no one's hurt.
[Things they can do. It'll be fine. They'll be fine.]
no subject
( She exhales and collapses against a countertop in the clinic. )
People first. Gods can take care of themselves.
( Or at least, they'll have to believe that. )
no subject
You all right? [Faith walks up to Kate, frowning.] You need a heal?

[She already likes you guys, but now her Hero Mode has kicked on and she just wants to help you guys win! Whatever's scaring them so much... she wants to help them!]
video

'M with you. What do you need me to do?
video
video
[She shakes her head. Get it together, Faith!]
Monsters I can take care of. I'm a healer too, I can keep people alive.
[For a while.]
video
[For once, Tranquility looks a bit grim.]
He kind of did a lot around here. I don't know how much we can do to fill in - frankly, we all left it to him because he did it best. The food, keeping the lights on and the monsters out. Oh, and revivals. Can't do those at all.
video
I'll do what I can, then. I'll fight monsters, I'll light candles.
'M not givin' up. As long as there's hope that we'll survive, I'll do what I can, yeh?

[He's quiet, maybe... a tiny bit reassuring?]
I need you to calm down. You're with me- and we don't have Hope. This is going to be difficult, and we can't overcome it in hysterics.
video
If that's what you need. [She nods and takes a deep breath.
It helps.]
'M not givin' up on you. Not on anyone, all right? I've been through hell before. [A different one, but still.] I'll do it again.
video
[Now that that's settled.]
It's likely that we'll all die anyway. But if we are to survive, then we'll want to come out of this with as little damage as possible.
For that, I'll need you.
video
Their kingdom, ripped in two.
Another deep breath. She'll stay calm. She can be sad later.]
Tell me what you need me to do.
video
If Hope returns to us, the last thing he needs to worry himself with is fixing everything that went wrong in his absence. I need you to keep it intact for him.
[He didn't say it would be easy, but this is all they can do.]
Figure out the food shortage. Don't let anyone die. Preserve the city as well as you can.
video
In a better time, she'd play it off, laugh and ask that's all? like the threat of annihilation isn't real. Right now, though, she gives a firm nod, conviction hardening her gaze.]
I'll do everything I can, for all our sakes. [She's got fire. She's got superhuman speed and strength. She can heal people. She will do her part. All the power her double unleashed for destruction, Faith will channel towards helping this half of the city survive.] If you need anything else, just tell me so. I refuse to let you all be killed again.
video
[He knows that Faith is on their side, but he hadn't quite been expecting that kind of promise. It gives Sorrow the slightest amount of pause and he feels a strange sort of gratitude toward her and the others hellbent on getting them out of here- but that's for later. There are things he needs to tend to.]
I assume you realize that nobody dying also includes yourself. That will be all for now.
[Which is sort of Sorrow's roundabout way of saying be careful and stay safe, if he wasn't such a cold asshole to begin with.]
video
But she doesn't, and Sorrow has acknowledged that, and accepted it.
Faith was already set to take action, but now she'll do so with an extra bit of oomph.]
Course I do. 'm not about to miss out on the city being whole again! [Have a smile, Sorrow. Putting on a brave face is one of her things, even if right now it's a bit strained. The situation is more dire than she's used to, that's all.] Right. Off to work. You know how to find me.
[With a firm nod and a quick wave, she signs off and goes to do her part.]
