Melvin sharply lifted his head at the sound of Owl's voice. Whirling on the man, an ellipsis formed on his chest monitor, the second two dots disappearing and reappearing like a loading icon as he tried to form a sentence.

"...you," his chest finally read.

His eyes flicked back to red.

"None of this would have happened if it weren't for you."

[Pi-Eta]

"Can't say I didn't try, Melvin." He dusted himself off. "Not my fault your world's prone to incursion."

"To be fair, it's not like he was supposed to know that demons can possess robots," said Waffle.

[KilljoyConstruct]

"So you knew that it might not work," was the conclusion Melvin jumped to. "And you didn't think to tell me."

He started for Owl, his hands clenched into fists. "All she ever wanted to do was help people. She was built to kill them, to be another war hero, but she gave all that up to be a nurse. To be a woman."

@alliascompany

Melvin whirled on Waffle, buzzing loudly. "If he hadn't shown up at Belrain, if NONE of you had ever come into my F#CKING life, Florence would still be alive."

[Pi-Eta]

"Did you guys find anything like the titans?"

[alliascompany]

@Pi-Eta
Mouse Flor shook her head.

Waffle stared down at his feet. Williams placed his sword back in it's sheath.
"You have no idea if that's true. From my understanding, she knew about the titans and it was her who warned us. If we weren't here, they would have gotten another group to power them and who's to say she wouldn't have tried to help them as well?" Said Williams. "I know you're angry, but trying to find someone to blame won't change anything and it definitely won't bring her back. All you can do, is, accept it, honor her memory, and move forward. "

[KilljoyConstruct]

@Pi-Eta

“I know she’s not coming back,” Melvin said. He looked back at Owl. “And neither is he.”

He lunged at the cognitomancer, slamming him against the wall.

[Pi-Eta]

Owl weakly put his destroyed arm on Melvin, only to realise the crystal was missing. "Oh shit."

[KilljoyConstruct]

Melvin grabbed Owl’s collar in one fist, slamming his other into the man’s throat once, twice, three times, before curling his fingers around his neck and squeezing.

[Pi-Eta]

His other hand relaxed, allowing the coin to roll out. Owl squeaked in the vicegrip, trying to will the coin back into his hand.

[alliascompany]

"Melvin! Stop!" Cried Waffle.

Williams withdrew his sword and pointed it at the back of Melvin's head, it's edges glowing.
"Drop him," he warned.

[KilljoyConstruct]

(( I’m just gonna say it now: this fight was planned. Pi and I have talked about this scene happening for a while now. Don’t worry I’m not going murder hobo on y’all all of a sudden lol

@alliascompany

Melvin continued crushing Owl’s throat, only pausing for a moment when Williams spoke. Gripping Owl, he turned and flung him at Williams, his monitor screen glitching out as he did so.

He caught sight of the coin on the floor next to him. Picking it up, he smashed it into the wall with another angry buzz.

[Pi-Eta]

As pieces of the coin clattered to the ground, a tiny winged wisp rose from within it, three eyes blazing for a second before it dissipated.

Owl watched in horror from his pile on the ground. "No!" His words were broken, coming from a broken throat.

[alliascompany]

@Pi-Eta

Williams stumbled to the ground as Owl crashed into him, dropping his sword.

Theodore's words kept coming back to Waffle as he watched Melvin.
"Would Florence be happy to see you like this?!" He shouted.

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

“What does it matter?” Melvin’s monitor spat. “She can’t see anything anymore! She’s GONE!”

His eyes shifted to Owl. For a second he looked like he was about to charge him again; but he didn’t. He just stared at him from his spot near the wall. His hands were trembling, were it from despair, exhaustion, or both, it was hard to tell.

The Richthofen Killer was silent for a long time. His eyes turned blue again, the murderous rage that had filled them just moments before melting into a heavy sorrow.

“I hope the silence is deafening.”

[Pi-Eta]

As Owl tried to get up, more cracks started spreading across his form, causing more bits of him to begin to evaporate. "No, no!" He looked at his arms. "This was my life! My time! What have you done!?"

[alliascompany]

"Owl! Settle down! You're worsening it!" Said Williams, scrambling to his feet.

Waffle looked at Owl and then at the shattered coin.
"What's happening? "

[KilljoyConstruct]

@alliascompany

Melvin shook his head. He had nothing more to say to any of the group.

He started to leave, only stopping when he passed by Florence’s body. Kneeling down, he gently closed her eyes. Then he got back up, leaving the room without a single glance back.

[Pi-Eta]

"The infovore...I can't hold it anymore. Tell me you found a war profiteering thing! I might still...be able to send you through."

[Legendofgenii]

Shepherd looked shocked and horrified as Melvin turned on Owl and the others.

Despite his promise, Jack had shifted into a pup, and was curled up cowering behind Tabitha.

Barrett got to his feet, looking unsteady, and holding the side of his head. The knight may have cursed Cal for misplacing his helmet a few worlds back.

He waited for Melvin to leave before retrieving his weapon out of Florence’s chest. “The kids found somethin’.” He answered Owl, concerning the titans.

Callan scooped up little mouse Flor and held her protectively. “Seriously? You still trust him with our lives, after everything we just saw?”
