Been trying to get the ball rolling on this again. I figured that Koan would be the type to have a nice little chat with an enemy she deemed 'respectable' before making a good attempt at annihilating them. In this scene Koan has isolated Zeke from any outside intervention by using her violet flames as a barrier.
Pretty basic. I didn't even use quotation marks, just line breaks and some emotes.
Miss Koan of the Ayakashi Sisters. I’m assuming that this isn’t a social call?
You assume correctly. But because you’ve been so polite and respectful, even if we are trying to kill each other, I’ll return that favor.
Not terribly comforting, but I’ll take what I can get.
Indeed. >
Tell me, Mister Darkwood, have you been wondering what our Droids have meant when they call you “Tomorrowlander”?
A bit. I was hoping that you might be able to shed some light on the subject.
Well, I’ll be the first to admit that it was confusing for us as well. Quite a headache, you see, and I almost ruined one of my favorite dresses with the nosebleed.
Butterfly Effect.
Ah, is that what you call it?
*shrug* I didn’t have anything better at the time.
Interesting. Either way, you can imagine how confusing it is to have two sets of memories. It took us a while to sort this out, but eventually we figured out where the point of divergence was.
Me.
Yes. You. You are the Tomorrowlander. The city builder. The dream weaver that makes fantasies into reality. In the other timeline, you stopped our invasion in its tracks... and so Wiseman sent us here now...
...To kill me.
Smart and handsome. What a shame.
Wiseman. He’s playing you.
Is he? He did say that you would say that.
All the more reason not to trust him. Usagi would give your people not only reprieve, but relief as well.
And what of all the suffering we have endured?
That was her mother’s doing, not her own.
Generations suffered because of her!
And would you ask that the next one suffer as well? Why demand that of a girl who had nothing to do with it? She barely even remembers being Princess Serenity.
She was there.
Koan, look. You called me a dream weaver, then let me weave you a dream. This can all be over for your people within days. Nemesis in a stable orbit around Sol, and food and medicine within hours. You kill Usagi and destroy this world, then Nemesis will carry on into the night as it always has.
No. Your worlds will be ours for the taking. And instead of Tomorrowland, we will build our capitol in its place.
So, this is it then. We try our damndest to kill the other?
No. Instead I will be sending out a small army of droids to do their damndest to kill you. You will be doing your damndest to survive. For the sake of our plans, I certainly hope you won’t. Farewell, Mister Darkwood. It was a pleasure meeting an enemy as respectful as you.
Forgive me if I don’t exactly share the same sentiment, Miss Koan.
And then all hell breaks loose.
One of my primary worries is that this may be revealing things a bit too fast. So, thoughts?
Pretty basic. I didn't even use quotation marks, just line breaks and some emotes.
