[ more action sequence that we both don't want to write goes here

Because correcting Agni about dolls is more important obviously. ]

Listen, here! I could give a lecture about the beauty of figures with a long list of meticulous and well thought out facts.

[ They're opinions. ]

[oathic]

[melt knows what she's about?]

Oh yeah? Let's hear those facts!

[sadiskick]

First of all, aren't they easy to love? They're adorable, and you can hold them however you please!

[ rip melt's earlier dignity ]

[oathic]

Do you usually hold them in different ways?

[??? do figurines even exist where he's from, who knows.]

[sadiskick]

[ in this log jan is kubera word of god ]

You can display them, show them to the world, show how much you love them, collect any of them, and then crush any of them. They're the easiest things to give all your love to.

[ Yeah, she definitely said crush. ]

[oathic]

[alarm??]

Crush them!?

[sadiskick]

Crush, absorb, shrink— Abusing them to my heart's content is simply sublime!

[ Welcome to Meltryllis' sadism hours. ]

[oathic]

[well, this is a lot.]

Uh, are you a sadist by any chance?

[sadiskick]

[ Does he regret not shooting her in the eye right away yet? ]

It's how I show my love.

[oathic]

[maybe a small part of him.]

... I guess we all have our tastes...

[sadiskick]

And what are yours? I'm letting all my secrets out. It's fair you do the same.

[ As much as you can call those secrets. ]

[oathic]

Well, for starters, they don't involve crushing anything.

[sadiskick]

[ She gestures for him to go on while they are.... ostensibly still fighting. ]

[oathic]

[definitely still fighting. it's fine.]

I dunno, I think my tastes are pretty normal. I just show affection with hugs and stuff?

[sadiskick]

[ Meltryllis frowns. ]

So do I?

[ She just goes beyond sometimes. It's fine. ]

[oathic]

I get the feeling your hugs involve breaking bones?

[sadiskick]

I just trample a little.

[ You know, with her legs. She's not ashamed. ]

[oathic]

I don't think that's considered normal tastes.

[sadiskick]

When are gods normal?

[oathic]

... You know what, fair enough.

[this is right about when, as they're locked in a parry, he takes out his gun—where was he hiding that?—and aims for her eye.

nothing personal.]

[sadiskick]

[ Wow. That is highly personal.

It's not something Meltryllis expects, and even with her dulled sense of pain, she screams. She clutches at her eye with her clumsy hands. ]

How dare you—

[ And that's when the clock begins chiming it's midnight. ]

[oathic]

[sometimes, you just have to disable your opponent before they turn into a monster? completely impersonal.

briefly, he wonders if he should shoot again, before he decides against it. he has a limited number of bullets; he can't afford to waste them.

instead, shoving the gun back into its place, he begins to back up, towards the door. it's time.]

[sadiskick]

[ That's personal! Her eye is very personal. She only has four working senses, so losing an eye is terrible. Through her pain, she breathes in sharp gasps, as she hears the chimes count down.

With her last moment as herself, she looks off in the direction where she thinks a certain room is, and something almost like heartache flashes across her expression. ]

Tell him I—

[ She doesn't get to finish that because the twelfth chime resounds, and she transforms. As a Leviathan, she's massive, as large as she can be while also (mod voice) being able to fit into the house. She lets out a roar as the room falls apart against and around her. ]

[oathic]

[great. too bad agni doesn't know who she's talking about!

in any case, his first thought is, not as big as gandharva. though, to be fair, that's a hard standard to reach when gandharva at peak form was planet-sized. still, it's for this reason—despite being far more powerless than he usually is, even with a summoner as weak as brilith—that he feels little fear at the sight.]

Wow, this is so unfair.

[and with that, he turns to run. time to get serious now.]

[sadiskick]

[ Nothing about this is fair! He's right. Maybe he can figure it out eventually.

Meltryllis would never want to be something as huge as a planet anyway. Her own personal nemesis is something that wants to consume a planet.

The monster brings out the worst attributes of her: making her more hungry and murderous. She gives chase, destroying more of the house as she flies after him. ]
