I'm going to make a new blog. Start from scratch. It feels like it's what I want to do.

This will still be here. I won't nuke it. I'll keep it up. Like it's an archive.

I'll be seeing you.

[the-players-arcade]

I've thought of coming back here.

But then I remember why I left. And I really don't want to deal with that ever again.

A fresh start would be nice.

But would it be worth it. That's what I'm asking myself.

I miss talking with some of ya'll. I miss role-playing. I miss my characters.

I want to start over, though. If I do come back.

Don't want to delete everything I've written. Or maybe I should? I don't know.

I dont know.

[the-players-arcade]

Fuck it. I get the message. I give up.

Fuckin. Hiatus or whatever I guess. Fuck it. Fuck everything should just nuke my goddamn blog.

I'm done.

I should just take my storied tot he fuckin grave.

"Hunter, ma'am. And like I said, he's a friend of mine." The werewolf states, arms resting at his sides as he stood straight. "Just wanted to make sure he's alright. He gets into a bit of trouble sometimes, and well, I like to look out for him when I can."

"Speaking of which, he hasn't caused any trouble for you, has he? I've tried talking to him about the stuff he does before but I don't think he fully listens to me."

"You wouldn't happen to have seen a friend of mine, would you? Likes to wear black, goes by Death, has a habit of going places he sometimes shouldn't..." Hunter speaks up as he approaches her, looking around slightly while doing so "He left a Doorway open so I figured he was probably here, either sleeping somewhere or stuck somewhere..."

"He may or may not be here. Depends. Why are you looking for him specifically?" Most entities were welcomed in her home and this one knows of her reaper guest. She rubbed the back of her neck and her wings twitched some. "May I ask what your name is?"

[the-players-arcade]

WHOA!!!!! i love my friends' ocs

"It's not you. I promise." He quickly states. "It's... complicated." What she had said had reminded him of things, but he didn't blame her at all. He had asked, and had been answered. And now memories had been stirred as he was reminded of things he's done. And of someone he knew would never forgive him, since he didn't want to let him go.

He seems to get lost in thought. But soon regains his focus. "...I've not been a perfect person, I admit that. I know that. But I still want to help people. I still want to do what I've been doing."

@the-players-arcade

"...Ah what the hell. Can you read mine? I mean... I'm too curious to not want to ask about it." Death admits.

"Guilt has you on a chokehold and you feel like you have a great responsibility to make up for your transgressions. Your soul knows its a long journey that awaits you and says your work will never be finished."

[the-players-arcade]

Alright, I'll play too.

Dust realizes he had made a huge mistake; He had completely underestimated Overlord, he knew that now. Not thinking that Overlord could figure out that he could use the Phantom Ruby to go between dimensions.

Which means Overlord had also figured out he could do the same with it. He probably had access to much more information about the Ruby than he did, too. That's what Dust believed at least.

Internally, Dust could feel panic setting in, though he did his best not to show it. His best couldn't hide the widening of his eyes however. As Overlord informs him that he'll retrieve him later, and not to leave the city, he nods "Right, yeah, I uh, won't leave the city." He replies.

Once Overlord is gone, Dust does indeed wander the city, but his mind is racing. If he gives up the Ruby, who knows what Overlord will do with it. Dust knows he could try leaving the city anyway, but then what? He has no allies here. He could use the Ruby to leave the dimension entirely, but... what if Overlord finds a way to re-open the portal? He felt overwhelmed with worry and consequences hanging over his head. He eventually just attempts to relax at a sort of restaurant, sitting at one of the outside tables, leaning back and looking up at the sky. "...Damned if I do, damned if I don't..." He can't help but mutter.

He knows he shouldn't be surprised, to come across a world like this; One that's been dominated and controlled. He was bound to come across one eventually with a whole multiverse to potentially explore.

Still. He can't help but let his curiosity get the better of him, and look around.

Dust found himself wandering through the streets of what was apparently called New Robotropilis. What he didn't expect was how people treated him so... normally. That, and there were some others who had also been Robotizised; Some with just limbs replaced, others changed entirely.

Part of him found it comforting. To be treated like a regular person, despite the circumstances this world seemed to be in.

He soon spots a large Garden however, and although he saw the only way in required payment, he could see the statue from the outside; It was of Sonic and Eggman, together. ...And seeing the name of said Garden over the entrance certainly helped put two and two together. It was a memorial.

It only left him with one question though; Who was in control, then? If neither Eggman or Sonic were around? Course, he was going to get an answer sooner rather then later.

The Phantom Ruby within his chest was emitting quite the unique energy signal. That and it's sudden appearance within the city had most likely attracted some attention, unbeknownst to Dust.

The Phantom Ruby... A gem thought to have been lost to his grasp. Or so Neo had thought. The moment the sensors within his capital registered the gems unique energy signature, was the moment he began his search for it. On its own it wasn't much, however, if he had it, it would make for a powerful weapon.

It was most certainly a surprise to see that the Ruby was embedded within an unfamiliar entity. At first he had assumed it was Infinite, who had disappeared shortly after the False Sonic beat him. He had assumed the gem was still embedded within the Jackal's chest, yet it was within a complete unknown. He hates unknowns.

Thus, the Overlord kept a close eye on Dust. Shapeshifting every now and again to look like one of many of his loyal subjects. Only stopping to reveal himself once the unknown made their way into the garden.

The metal overlord reforms himself from a silver puddle a few meters away from dust. He pauses for a moment, before speaking. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

"...Damn, you can see pretty deep, huh?" Death chuckles a bit, but... he's clearly a little nervous. "...You can't see those transgressions, right?" He ends up asking. "I am trying to make up for all of them. Though I know I've done more transgressions in the process."

@the-players-arcade

[the-players-arcade]

Happy New Year everyone!!!

[the-players-arcade]

Ah. ...He should have come up with a better plan. "Well, I can wait here, if you'd like. While you go off and get those machines up and running." He completely fails to hide that nervous tone in his voice.

And he fails to keep his mouth shut. "I mean... you really think a Chaos Emerald can do everything the Phantom Ruby can?" Dust sounds as if he doubts it could. "Unless, you can make it be able to do so?" He was clearly talking out of nervousness, and realizing too late he might be saying too much about the Ruby.

"Not that I know anything about how Chaos Emeralds work, or know everything about the Phantom Ruby, I mean I know bits and pieces, but not every single thing."

He knows he shouldn't be surprised, to come across a world like this; One that's been dominated and controlled. He was bound to come across one eventually with a whole multiverse to potentially explore.

"...I was married, once." Hunter comments. "Had a wife. A baby girl. Had something waiting for me once I got back from the war. Or, well, I did. Then... I became this, and... when she saw me..." He trails off, going quiet. "...I'd rather not go into the details. But I'm definitely divorced, and lets leave it at that."

--

"Never been married. A relationship or two when I was younger, sure, but married? Nope." Desth states. "Maybe other versions of me have, but... I haven't. ...Haven't given much thought either, to be honest. One day maybe? Eh, who knows."

--

"Could be fun. Maybe put something in the cake to make it extra flammable. Or poisonous." Anthony speaks. "...We are talking about weddings, right? I haven't tried ruining any yet. ...But now I've got some ideas."

[the-players-arcade]

Merry Christmas everyone!

"I dont know what being off would feel like, or how it'd effect me. And I'd prefer to never find out." Dust states.

He felt relieved, that he had managed to convince Overlord not to kill him for what he wanted. Though he didn't know much about fake chaos emeralds, let alone actual ones; All 7 can be used to make someone go super, but that's all he knew. "A fake Chaos Emerald might work, but I don't know until it's tried." Though, in reality he had no intention of giving up the Ruby. But playing along was the safest option he had right now.

"How long would it take to make a Fake Chaos Emerald? It sounds like it'd require a lot of work."

He knows he shouldn't be surprised, to come across a world like this; One that's been dominated and controlled. He was bound to come across one eventually with a whole multiverse to potentially explore.

Still. He can't help but let his curiosity get the better of him, and look around.
