We doubt we will see a Rat Queen again, at the very least.

[ but... she tilts her head ]

If I may ask, what happens to them if they do not die?

[sadiskick]

I had to wonder if the music playing when we first arrived had anything to do with it.

[ THE NUTCRACKER.... she remembers ]

They live. Some without knowing better.

[cluedin]

Oh, no. The Master enjoys music that has no copyright infringement.

[ she moves past that one-- ]

They live... after dying?

[sadiskick]

If you don't die when you're killed, you're alive again. It's simple enough.

[ 1 + 1 = 2. ]

[cluedin]

How is it that they can not die when they are killed, Miss?

[ this is sending her ]

[sadiskick]

Someone or something brings them back to life. It's not impossible if you give up enough to do it.

[ At least in her experience. ]

[cluedin]

I see... So they do die. They simply come back after, should someone wish to bring them back to life. And if no one does?

[sadiskick]

They die.

[ It's not all death that's stopped, just some special cases. Sometimes, a protag isn't allowed to die. ]

You fade from existence, as you should have originally. Forgotten and scrapped.

[cluedin]

[ she hums ]

Death is an inevitable part of life. It comes for everyone eventually. Although scrapped is not a sentiment I have heard often when it comes to that.

[sadiskick]

[ Her smile is almost derisive. ]

It depends on what you are. Some people get less consideration than others. It's the natural order of things. You can become experience points for someone else.

[cluedin]

[ ... ]

Experience points?

[ you're not talking to the right furry for this she just sounds lost ]

[sadiskick]

Experience points.

[ Sometimes, you're digital and you touch the fourth wall. ]

It doesn't matter here. There's no point explaining when I'm not allowed to dance to my heart's content.

[cluedin]

Do you require a dance floor, miss? Or is it music?

[ she is just assuming it's just dancing. ]

[sadiskick]

I'll need both, but I need more than just that to dance at my full potential.

[ HER POWERS ARE INCORPORATED INTO HER DANCING this is discrimination. everybody's powers are gone THIS IS DISCRIMINATION ]

[cluedin]

What else do you require, miss? Perhaps I can put in a request for you.

[ this is definitely discrimination ]

[sadiskick]

All my skills back.

[ She can already hear the discrimination no coming. ]

[cluedin]

Ah, yes. Your abilities... We are still trying to understand what happened there, I'm afraid.

[sadiskick]

Do you think that'll be resolved before we're all killed?

[ Because Meltryllis is absolutely assuming it's going to be a situation where they all have to kill each other until there is one left. ]

[cluedin]

Do you believe you have all been brought here to be kill each other, miss?

[sadiskick]

That's usually why I'm summoned. With my heels, my poison, my destructive force—

[ She shrugs. It's easy to see what she's optimized to do. ]

[cluedin]

That explains some things. [ she stares out at the lake ] If it was only for you all to kill each other... things might be simpler. But that is not what you were brought here for.

[sadiskick]

No? Then, what is it? What momentous event were we invited for?

[ Since it's been insisted they were invited. ]

[cluedin]

I wonder.

[ wow! helpful, plum! thanks! she turns to melt ]

You said you have been summoned before for that purpose, correct? May I inquire as to why they needed you for it?

[sadiskick]

For a wish. It's always a wish.

[ Although it's stretching the meaning of a wish. ]

[cluedin]

[ a beat ] Am I right in assuming you are not a genie, miss?

[ the fuck kinda wish needs a murder ]
