There was an irrational anger that flared up at the mention of the girl that had killed him first. Her hand clutched in response, a tense and angry movement that crushed at his fingers. It faded when he told her that the 'real' him was lucky. It wasn't a fair assessment. This fragment, this piece of Jericho, deserved a chance just as much as anyone. She heard the melancholy of defeat in his voice, and her hand finally let his go, because they moved instead to wrap around his body as she slammed into him.
She held this Jericho in a fierce hug, her face smushed against his chest to hide the emotion warring in her face.
We are the lucky ones. Her voice trembled. He, you, give us a great gift with your companionship.

Shun fell silent at that. He couldn't fault her for feeling that way. The Voice had created her and given her life. And really.. that was all that mattered he supposed.
"Yes. She should be awake now. I'll have to check up on her once I get back home," he said while looking over towards where Xiu stood. He was quiet for some time, but then turned back towards Mitsu. He wasn't really good at saying farewells. Even in reality, he had a tendency to just walk off with a mild wave or something like that. For now, he took her hand and squeezed it lightly.
"Did... you want to speak with your king? Before this all ends?"

She'd been staring downward for quite some time. It all seemed to be ending, but she wasn't sure exactly if what was ending was ending the way she'd wanted it to end. Or something like that. The ghoul was real somewhere and this wasn't. But- were they really real in some way? Some small spec of a way? the Phoenix that she was had been so vivid in her mind. Levi could still sort of stand on the bulbs of her feet, feeling that this was the correct way she usually stood with the red kingdom heels on.
It felt too real to be a dream, but it wasn't where she'd wanted to be. Levi missed them; the real them. If she felt a connection to the Phoenix, was that spec of existence something... she might keep with her?
Levi's eyes shut tight before she blinked a few times, raising her head to see- pink; but not his pink. Her stone expression was replaced with a sad look for a mount, but quickly shifted to a smile. See yew don't go down so easy neither.
Chuckling her usual hillbilly ghoul chuckle, Levi stepped forward as well, folding her arms in front of her. Close enough to be in his personal space, Levi's tail came around, curling around what was a faded spade-ended tail. Jack, she missed him.
Yer right. I ain't tha'Phoenix. 'Er maybe I was. But I ain't no more. This'is tha'real me. Just yer average sorta ghoul. No crowns- well, 'cept fer that one time but- I ain't no princess. She gave the shadow a serious gaze before reminding herself once again that this Westus wasn't calling her anything and there was no need for retaliation; Jack, how she missed that too. Yer sorta important, ya'know. Levi spoke of back then in the garden before it had happened. Tha'real yew.

The sudden and fierce hug caught Jericho off guard. Though, he soon smiled and hugged the mindflayer in return. He didn't know her name, and he barely knew her in general. But... he felt like she needed this. Greatly. With the way she sounded... he had to wonder if there was something wrong with the real him out in the world. It was best to not ask, as much as it was burning his curiosity now.
All he could tell was that the real Jericho meant a lot to her.
"If.. he's anything like me, then he'll be more than happy and willing to fight at the side of someone who cares so much."

Rex stared at her, a blink, his expression completely blank. And then food was mentioned! More sandwiches and cookies? Well why didn't you say that first? Of course he would help for cookies and sandwiches!
And with that he was off, trotting through the room and dragging Amrita behind, searching for those from the black kingdom. Not that he really knew what he was looking for, everyone was silver now! Oops...maybe should have thought that one through a bit more...

Rex is helping!

Ofelia frowned at the king's words, like she was unsure if she wanted to believe them or not. It felt like this was different, like this would be a last time.
Like she really would never see them again because they couldn't be together or something. It was an ache that Ofelia didn't know how to describe. "I...don't believe that. I don't thhink we can be together again, not here or anywhere. Something tells me that this is the end and that the three of us will never..." She trailed off, keeping her hands on Mort's shoulders. "I don't want to ose the two of you again."
Why did he have to go and say something like that.
Damnit, Jericho.
The woman in his arms shook, and his chest felt the wetness of her tears, exposing her weakness. It was a mistake, coming to him. Talking to him. Exposing herself to him. She should have remained distant, until the end.
The real Riley would have done so. She was just a fragment too, a copy borne after Riley had died. She was no more real than him. And she knew it, deep down inside.
She knew she should disappear with the rest of them.

"She has a really good friend." He came all this way to save her and risked a lot in doing so. She was sure all of this hadn't been easy for him.
When she felt his hand take her own she looked down at the connection. Smiling she squeezed his hand lightly in return though quickly looked up to see if she could spot her Commander....err...or was it just Wilson?
"I..I guess I should. I don't know what to say really." The kings weren't of this world either but for a brief moment in time he had been their Commander. "I sort of...damaged the ship I'm hoping he doesn't know." She was still worried about it. Even in the end.

Kashi didn't want to question all that had happened. He didn't want to know why he was standing here now. All he wanted, all he needed, was only a few feet away; his back to Kashi. He stood back, listening in amusement, to Molan acting like a big brother should. But the 'I'm in a relationship'. The words cut deep. Deeper than Kashiyoru even knew he went. For a moment, he couldn't breath. His heart ached and his knees felt weak. When had it happened? Another Silver? Had it been from before he fell into Kashi's Kingdom? Before he'd become Kashi's whole world? Why hadn't he said anything befor--
Who was this new guy!? Was he--? No. He was asking Molan a question... Then...
All of a sudden he felt light. Weightless. It hit him all at once. Like running straight into a wall, full force. Fighting back tears he stumbled a bit before recomposing himself and rushing forward. In mere seconds he was behind Molan, scooping him up and pressing his lips against Molans, unable to hold back any longer.
"Miss me?" He panted, pulling away. Unable to hold back his grin.

Apparently his words were too much. Jericho looked to the woman as she broke down in his arms, and there wasn't much he could do other than pat her on the back and try to comfort her. He didn't know what could be said to make her stop, not when he barely knew her. If he did, he would know just how much it meant for her to start crying like this, exposing herself in such a way.
So for now, he just held her, letting her ride out the moment of weakness.

Shun looked a touch amused at that.
"I don't think you'll have to worry about that too much. But... if you'd like, I can just stay here with you until it's time for me to leave. It's up to you really," he replied softly.
The Reaper mostly wanted to make sure she was happy and comfortable before her time was completely up. He didn't want Mitsu to be suffering in any incarnation of herself.

Sin turned and tried to force a smile but it was halfhearted at best, she just couldn't manage to forget what she had seen and heard. Yet Mort's words gave her a semblance of hope, after all what could destroy creation? Would they not find someway...somehow? Her smile was weak but genuine now as she walked back a bit closer. It was still hard to look at Belladonna or Julian, Alex or Sophie when she felt so betrayed by their actions. She just didn't understand what made the other her, the so called 'true' Sin better.
She wanted to tell Mort that the problem with the game reset was that they were the glitches, and they were going to be wiped out. No one wanted a glitch and apparently no one was going to take the time to fix them, to finish their coding. She was just a fragment, an error in the game.
"I can only hope that when...that someday we will bring Om back to greatness and restore the file to 100% completion." It was the best she could manage, a fragment of hope.

Awareness came back, light flooding in until it seemed to fill in every inch of her... body? Sun's hand flew upward so fast, she slapped herself. Ow! Pain! She felt pain! She existed!
She realized she wasn't the only one, and looked out at a sea of people, all talking, hugging, toasting, and generally enjoying life. What had happened? She looked down at herself, and realized she was now dressed in some sort of weird mix of Silver and Black. She had her armor back, but it was Silver, and she still had her tail. The armor of the Sun. No, she reminded herself, smiling. The armor of Canon, the Sun. It was weird to realize that she was some sort of copy of someone. She rather imagined that all she'd experienced had separated her from the original Canon.
A happy voice broke her from her reverie, and Sun turned to accept Ary's embrace.
"Ary! I haven't seen you since the battle!" Sun exclaimed, using a bit of her shirt to dry away the girl's tears. "I never got to thank you for the necklace! It's beautiful! Thank you!"
She was surprised to feel tears well in her own eye, and she ducked her head into Ary's shoulder.
"Thank you." she repeated, voice muffled.

Andrew raised his eyebrows surprised, but that was off set with the grin on his face. “Ahh you do have a bit of spunk in you somewhere Olivia. That’s good. Don’t worry, I don’t dislike Molan, he did take care of you…” he glanced at the Molan’s dopple-ganger and brushed it off, not really paying him much mind. Kashi caught his attention though. The number of odd couples were multiplying in his life.
“Looks like your friends are finding you.” He relaxed and took a hold of Olivia’s and again, watching, and letting himself be quiet. He had no more information to give or trade, and there was no mission to complete. Things were starting to just blur in his mind.
chirigami
you don’t need to.
Raja
He is immune. XD They rub each other wrong so well.
Giddy with delight, Marosa gave him one least squeeze before pulling back, taking the moment to stare into the other's eyes. That same telltale grin covered his face, seeming so right even though everything else seemed so wrong.
"Oi dinnae want tae go, Sharra." He admitted, frown dissipating. "Oi wud rather... explore." An eyebrow raised at this, the smile returning. He was incorrigible.
