ACCIDENTAL RECORDING.
1777, APRIL 06th, WEDNESDAY10:30 pm.
Noche glared at Raven, before walking past him to her previous body. He raised the umbrella to get it out of her way as she bent down and retrieved her choker. With the article of clothing in hand she walked over the Jackalope and handed it to him.
"Keep this safe."
He nodded. She spun to face Raven.
"Seriously – what the fuck are you doing here?"
"I wanted to make sure you were ok," Raven said.
"Ok? OK!" Noche laughed until it bordered on hysterical. "What does it matter to you?"
"That's not concerning at all... Well, seeing as how you're the only other corruption user in the world other than me, I wanted to make sure you didn't destroy the planet."
Noche flinched.
"You... Wouldn't actually destroy the world... Right Noche?"
"N-No."
"That's not very convincing."
"Jackalope, can we please kick him out!"
"Be My GuEsT – if you think you're strong enough."
Noche groaned.
"Life is precious. It's too important to be snuffed out."
"I know."
"All living creatures deserve to live."
Noche scoffed. "That's pretty funny coming from DeathTech's strongest warrior."
Raven flinched. "It's not like I have a choice."
"Well, if it comes to it, neither do I."
They were both silent for a moment.
"I wish it doesn't come to that."
"Wishing doesn't do shit," Noche glared.
She turned to face Jackalope.
"What's next?"
"NeXt Is ThE – trial of doubt."
"I doubt it'll be any better," Noche rolled her one eye. "So, how do I start this next one? Jump really high?"
"CoRrEcT."
Noche's one eye widened, before narrowing at Jackalope. She squinted at him for a few seconds. "You're serious?"
He nodded.
She frowned. "Sarcasm is wasted on you."
"I cAn NoT hElP iT – if you hit the nail on the head. Even if it was in spiteful jest. Did Galloway not warn you about going above the tree line?"
"Yeah, something, something, eldritch beings. Blah blah blah."
Jackalope shared a glance with Raven.
"WhAt InTeReSt Do – you hold in this girl again?"
"Starting to wonder that myself."
"Oh fuck off!"
"Relax Noche, we don't mean anything by it. Don't jump to conclusions," Raven said.
She raised her middle finger and scowled at him; he chuckled. Noche cracked her neck, bent her legs, and leapt into the air. She took off like a rocket and covered hundreds of feet in the span of a second.
