IC Limbo.

(Backread attempt taken, but due to me sort of lack of patience this time, where is everyone?)

(I think everyone’s at camp dealing with Cobalt’s uh…whatever goes on with Cobalt idk anymore; Adeline is currently losing her mind while trying not to get her corrupted arm amputated I guess)

{Bright, Ez, Dusk, Cream, Star, Hades, Olivia, and Mio are in the Roots; Tom, Adeline, Bow-Eye, X, Melanie, Tethin, and August are at camp; and Rope is out caving who knows where.}

"You have a daughter?!

Bow-Eye: Yes. A daughter and a son.

Can you even reproduce, and who decided to have a child with you?"

Bow-Eye: No. Earth-born Sightstalkers such as me & my wife do not have the necessary parts, and are, in fact, infertile. Only Iris-born Sightstalkers can reproduce. My children are not biological.

"should probably stop her before her entire arm falls off"

Bow-Eye: If that arm falls off naturally, then that'd be a good thing.

corrupted arm amputated

[Not corrupted, infected and rotten. It merely is covered in infected cuts, scrapes, and various other injuries, mostly from shrapnel. It's an IRL phenomenon for wounds to get infected and need amputation.]

 

[Cryogenesis]

“…Would it be able to recharge itself over time?”
Melanie moves to just get ready to tackle Adeline, ready to drop her sword.
“I don’t really mind too much about how long it’d take to get ready, at least.”

"It's a rune so the power won't deplete"

(I appreciate it!)

{Can I be busy for four hours without missing several pages!?}
"CREAM!"


"I-Is she alright?"

Cream’s taken a lot of heal, and is at 4/5.
Who Bright might need to worry about is Xueqing who just used 1000 HP for healing Cream. (She practically used 300mL of her blood and half her liver)
“She’s alright now I think… weird, why would she even get a heart attack…?”

(You...could've left that last part out and I'd have got it. It's not like people actually think there can't be realistic reasons to need a limb amputated.)

"It's a rune so the power won't deplete"

"Ah...alright."
Melanie thinks.
"...But I'd probably temporarily deplete its power, right? Like with how it works with my flame totem."
"A lot of magic is needed to achieve the effects my totems do..."
"Usually my flame totem takes a day to recharge after I use it for like, 10 minutes."

“I don’t know!”

(Reason: Cream shot herself OOC.)
“Ah fine… anyway, er er er er er er.”
“Are we going deep into the RC for hiding?”
While texting a lot of C++ in her editor, she asks.

[I know, it's just a habit for me to say more than I need. Sorry...]

(Not a big problem; just work on that.)

[Cryogenesis]

Bow-Eye: Yes. A daughter and a son.

"Good for you man"

Bow-Eye: No. Earth-born Sightstalkers such as me & my wife do not have the necessary parts, and are, in fact, infertile. Only Iris-born Sightstalkers can reproduce. My children are not biological.

"You have a wife?! how?!"

"Ah...alright."
Melanie thinks.

"Usually my flame totem takes a day to recharge after I use it for like, 10 minutes."

"Well, since I am putting it in a small vessel you won't be able to create projectile from the totem"

 

[Banana_=P]

"Good for you man"

"Well, since I am putting it in a small vessel you won't be able to create projectile from the totem"

"Well..projectiles don't really work for defense anyway."
"...Do you suppose I'd be able to create stuff like ice walls with a slash?"

 

[Cryogenesis]

"...Do you suppose I'd be able to create stuff like ice walls with a slash?"

"Depends, I gotta find some other materials though, so it'll take more time"

Insert Target casually walking into the RC, gets corrupted, and casually goes out of the RC to harm everyone.
“>:]”
(Corrupted Target (/ Hunter): 888888)

“I think…”

{End of back in time; they’ve picked up the pace a bit and are in sight of Mio.}

(Let’s say Xueqing is catching up as well.)
Xueqing seems to start running, or at least race-walking.
She decides to shift to Python due to C++ being a bit inconvenient.
“Alright. If any enemy comes, I’ll try to fend them off.”

"Good for you man"

Bow-Eye: Not really.

"You have a wife?! how?!"

Bow-Eye: ...Let me show you a couple pictures, it'll all immediately make sense, I promise.

 

[Cryogenesis]

Bow-Eye: ...Let me show you a couple pictures, it'll all immediately make sense, I promise.

"please do"

"there's those weird ice golems with hearts that emit cryogenic energy..."

"where can I find said golems?"

(have Hue and X met before?)

(don't think so)

 

[Banana_=P]

"Depends, I gotta find some other materials though, so it'll take more time"

"there's those weird ice golems with hearts that emit cryogenic energy..."

"...I could probably help with material collection!"
"After the uh...mapping of the Corruption!"

 

[Asternove]

{Cobalt did you see August offer Adeline help?}

Bow-Eye hands him a family photo. Although there are many other faces in it you don't recognize, only one of them matters.
Bow-Eye points to one of them. They're wearing a sleeveless, pink dress, with a jingasa, and are wearing a VERY fluffy light blue scarf around their neck, and have another one tied around their waist. On her ring finger, you can see a "wedding ring", in quotations because instead of the traditional diamonds or emeralds or rubies, it's made of silk, and looks like a blue bowtie. After looking at Bow-Eye's ring finger, he has something similar, a tiny light blue scarf tied around it. Cute. One leg of hers appears normal, with a strong, leather steel-toed boot, but the other is made of a dull white metal, Eyenite, just like Bow-Eye's arm. They also have an eye for a head, but unlike Bow-Eye's blue iris, hers is hazel. She is about 2 inches shorter than Bow-Eye.
Bow-Eye: That's Scarf-Sight, my wife. We both knew each other before we became... this.
