Do what ghost Epsy says.

>>732034
Hey. Aren't you supposed to be dead?

We did it for you epsy we kicked his ass!

Take smol Epsy's hand let's go back to normal.

I sense a trap. Be cautious.

>>732034
Ah, I see what's going on. You kindof-died due to the big hole in your torso, but you're a lich, so you can just resurrect. Let Epsilon guide you out, give him a big smooch.

>>732034
Open your eyes first, before you take that hand and get up.

There's too much of a chance he can help. Take his hand.

You reach out and firmly take hold of a stone.

The area is dark, wet, and you no longer have a guest.

>>732124
Crawl out of the water and check yourself for injury. ...is there any trace of Destruction? I wonder if that was just in your head.

Assuming you can, head out and towards your original destination, before we were rudely interrupted.

:(

You did it! Get out of the water and calm yourself, then let's head to the Volcano.

Get out of the water and get ready! You are almost there!

You stand to your feet. It may take time for you to recover from your injury, but it will probably be fine.

You appear to have some water trapped under your eye. That should be cleared up by the time you make it back to Mint. It is about time to get to that gosh darn volcano.

Ouch. That gotta hurt. Yeah, let's go beat up that volcano.

What a terrible time for rain...

Try to check if you are really ok physically before making a beeline for the volcano; you dont want to get there and then explode into blood.

>>732175
Asali, pull yourself together! There's people to save. This isn't the time to fall apart, you've got to be strong.

Walk it off, you'll be fine.

...I wonder if, after all this is done, you'll have some cred with the gods? I mean, you've prevented Destruction's plan. Maybe one of them will bring Epsilon back?

>>732173
Try not to cry.

Cry a lot.

You heal up before you arrive at the entrance to the Volcano. Mint lifts her chin to gaze up at you. The two of you both appear forlorn as well as flushed from crying.

Neither you or Mint are in the best of moods. At the very least you are both justified in not feeling too hot.

There is a long period of silence. You eventually speak, "I need to open this door up and see what's happened in there. Would you like to go inside with me?"

"I suppose finding out in company would be better than waiting alone," Mint mumbles back toward you. A long sigh escapes the dragon before she drones on, "I'm happy you still have Epsilon, even if Lynn is dead. I wanted you to know that no matter what happens. You've been great to me, and I have your back."

Oh noooo she doesn't know.

Give her a hug and tell her, in the most delicate way possible that Epsilon is no more. He did it for a good cause, tho :c

>>732322
I think keeping her as emotionally stable as possible would be best since we're about to go into a dangerous situation. You can tell her Epsilon is dead later.

No more avoiding the subject. Tell her, but try your best to explain what happened.

"Yeah. About that"

Tell her.

Make sure to tell her we got some really awesome vengeance too.

You decide it would be best to tell Mint now rather than later. Asali moves closer to Mint to set a comforting hand on the dragon as she has before.

"Unfortunately, lovely lady, I have bad news on that. Epsilon died protecting me. We won't be seeing our shark shaped friend in the future."

"Oh... gods, Asali I'm so sorry. Why is any of this happening? This is all so cruel." Mint tears up easily and starts to cry again.

"I try not to think about it, because if I mull on it for too long I won't be able to save anybody else," Asali explained with a soft voice.

Mint nods with a solemn expression.

Alright, steel yourselves and get this door open.

Pat her on the head.

Pat pat.

Let's do this.

Keep on pressing forward. We lost our lover, but maybe we can save Mint's if we hurry.

Comfort her briefly and go inside. Let's make epsy proud

Well, maybe it's time to hustle to stop further losses... but give Mint a good hug first, poor girl needs it.

Hug her and say we need to move on.

>>732539
Tell her that no matter what happens you are there for her. Let her know that she means a lot to you.

>>732539
remind mint that she is a doctor, and you are going to need her alert and ready if there are any injured or serious condition folk. mint can turn any maybes into survivors

Tell her you kicked some ass in Epsilon's name. Give her a hug

You bring yourself closer and embrace Mint tight. The hold lasts a long time, and it is a silent hold for a couple of minutes. Neither of you have a whole lot to say in the moment. The words you have shared have already established the severity of your shared situation.

"Mint, we all need you to do your best and be strong. You are the only doctor on this island that is still breathing to my knowledge. When that door opens, people may need your help immediately. Are you going to be ready for that, lovely?"

There is an extended long pause between the two of you. Mint is shaking in your arms, and most this hug has been her in tears.

"I'll be ready, Asali. Thank you for being there for me. I'm a mess and I might not have made it without you."

Tell her it's the least you can do. (jeez, part of me hopes she never finds out Asali was the source of the Black Plague)

Use WIRES on DOOR PANEL.

Before the door actually opens, though, just, hold on to her hand. You don't know what you're going to see. Be there for her. Be there for eachother.

Holding her hand before the door opens sounds good.

You let Mint back down gently, having reassured her proper.

You replace the fuse and wires back into the blast door's internals. The button lights up shortly after everything is in place.

You can now enter the Volcano.

>>732768
Stroll in like you own the place with your most badass leanback walk.

This is a volcano. They can be full of noxious fumes, in addition to the more obvious hazards. It doesn't seem likely everyone's still alive, but hold on to hope. And hold something up to your mouth to prevent the fumes from getting in.

>>732768
Push butan

Get in, but be careful and stealth it, don't rush. There might be danger inside, and even if people are still alive, let's be clear, you're the reason they hid inside the volcano. So, sneak in, no need for anyone to panic.

You activate the blast door and it slides up and open. Waves of anxiety, pain, and the smell of blood carry over your person. You feel nausea, your vision starting to fade out slowly over time.

You feel Mint place her hand on your shoulder. You turn toward her as you start to black out. Mint says something to you, but it is hard for you to interpret. You are losing consciousness.

"I'll be right behind you," is your best guess of what is said by who you think is still Mint.

You know who's in there. Anxiety. Mint could be more resistant to the effects of this place... try using Telepathy to see out of her eyes. Or link up to keep the both of you stable.

That's the mask of Lust, Mint isn't "herself" right now. Are you still conscious? Can you use Telepathy on her?

Not Asali!DReamEr2eU 2016/06/30(Thu)06:21 No. 732797 ID: 55c4cf

Eventually the darkness fades and you regain consciousness.

You are no longer Asali.

>>732797
Who...who are we? Where are we? Damn, did you drink too much?

Examine self.

You've clearly been drinking enough, stop shaking or you're gonna spill it.
