I think with my heart And move with my head Well.
This was nice.
Aside from that whole impromptu house party a few months back, things have been fairly quiet around town. No over-the-top demons, no encroaching supernaturals, no nothing. It was nice.
It also gave them a chance to finally organize their shop.
"Lets see now..." Empty boxes were strewn about as Res paced up and down the aisle, organizing and changing the shelves as they walked. The store was packed to the brim with trinkets and other miscellaneous items, more-so than usual thanks to the unpacking of stock, but it all had a sort of...cozy charm to it despite the chaos. "You will go here, and you should be shifted here..."
They only paused when the door swung open, trying to glance through the shelves. "Hello? Sorry for the mess, I'm in the middle of tidying up. Please call out if you need anything."
"Hey Res!"
"Oh for the love of...I have told you time and time again, no I am not selling you a--"
"Well that's presumptuous! We're here for a friendly chat!"
"We're..?" It took a few moments but Res emerged from the back corner of the shop, a box under their arm. "Ah. Ginger, was it? Two players in my shop, for what do I owe the pleasure?"

The place was a mess... Not too surprising there, she honestly expected lots of dust and random useless trinkets all over the place. Today? It looked like Res was closing shop or just flat out gave up and left everything in boxes. Luckily Res responded moment they walked into the door about cleaning up, oh.. So that's what this was? Spring Cleaning? Who knew God of Time Did spring Cleaning?
She listened fascinated by the two conversations, its something of an entertainment.. Watching people interact with their own characters, just the mannerisms, excitement and just. Oh! You don't get to see this in her world that's for sure! Res asked why they were there, and she responded with a slightly sadistic teasing smile. "New Villain on rampage, controlled by Dys. Should be fun! He uhhh.. probably plans to take over the world or rewrite it. I think most of Dys villains do that, so yeah can you help? Even a little?" |

I think with my heart And move with my head Res let out a heavy sigh. "You're smiling and you lack confidence in your words. Why should I trust what you say? And if we look past that, you two were the driving forces behind all the calamities in this town, in this timeline even. For all I know you two could be conspiring with this "Dys"."
"What happened to your whole "time guardian" shtick? We come to you with concerns about the safety of this world and you brush us away? ...oooh, what's this..? I'm still listening, carry on." Kynan stepped away and started admiring the trinkets. Don't rely on them for help, Ginger, stores like this were one of their greatest weaknesses.
Res just rolled their eyes, gently placing the box on the ground before going back to organizing. "Do not use my morals against me, player. You two know too much to be trusted. Especially you, Admin. Your powers might have been removed but this is still your "site", is it not?" They wandered up and down the aisle as they talked, organizing and moving boxes as they went. "I have been tricked one too many times. I'm sure you can understand my distrust considering the situation."
"Hmph. Sounds like someone's still salty about Jacob. Oooh, I didn't know Res sold these here..!"

Res words weren't exactly the most comforting after all what was wrong with Smiling?! Adventure was worth smiling about! Destruction was worth smiling about, she felt her cheeks growing warm taking that as a personal attack. The words, went so far as to claim this was all just a ploy AND that she lacked Confidence. Okay, yes she did in fact lack confidence, but hey it wasn't exactly her specialty... Some would even say most of her characters inherited the insecurity and hesitance she seemed to carry. The response she planted would have probably made Res grow more offensive or angry, lucky for her Kynan spoke up for her. It did help to have a character's creator along side you, after all Who knows how a character ticks more than that actual writer. Complete lie, there had been several times her own characters did a backward illogical action she hadn't expected.
The method and way Kynan spoke earned a gentle giggle from the blonde as she looked away trying to hide it. One who was easily amused by the specialty of communication. Her blue eyes flicked back when calmness had returned just in time to see Res rolling their eyes dealing a blow to Kynan about morals. It hurt a little about the trickery, she narrowed her eyes at Res as they seemed to continue their work. Taking in a small breath holding it to try and tame the pounding fiery burning inside, the heart taking on a rather unsettling beat pulsing the veins. Fingers twitching calculating the information she knew, the forum that many worked together to create. Pointing out the technicalities about a site is born from members would most definitely not help her cause... Especially if Res just point out all her little 'many many dark plots' that probably slaughtered so many NPCs or trash characters again and again. Not exactly the best reminder of Jacob's unethical moments dealing with Time.
Kynan spoke again about Jacob, and salt. This made her relax a little at how they were reacting. Thinking over the salty reminded herself that the characters have been through and how they've matured. "I might know more than you'd enjoy, which it was partially your fault we're both stuck here.. our knowledge just sitting there for the grabs." Her blush grew a little redder at the very thought of this new villain not even caring about her knowledge. How dare he! She was a practically walking container of destruction! "I trust, you and Atonix, can work something out with Corbin to find this new villain and bring this place back to peace. Last I checked if something bad were to happen to this town... Well Not only would our creations are destroyed, but I guess us too being stuck here and all. I guess just, we're not lying, I swear. Unless you wanted to Send us back, avoid work.. hey that'd be cool too. " She moved her hands trying to express herself, eventually ending with just scratching the back of her neck looking down blushing filling up with guilt. Its not fair, she wasn't suppose to be stuck here trying to gain trust of the very things she tore to shreds. |

I think with my heart And move with my head That was one thing that they couldn't argue; it was partially their fault that the two were here. But what were they to do? Sit back while the players brought everything down to ruin? Sure it wasn't the greatest plan in the world but at least it had results. "For the grabs? Are you two that weak minded that you'll blabber on for whoever is willing to listen? I'll give you two the benefit of the doubt and presume your original lives weren't as cut throat as they are now but, please, keep in mind that in this town knowledge can be the difference between life and death. Somethings are better kept to yourself."
Res glanced over towards Ginger before going back to the shelves. It was a miracle those two hadn't gotten themselves killed yet. Who in their right mind just says that out loud? Imagine if the wrong person was here.
Those poor defenseless humans wouldn't stand a chance.
"That is assuming you two are telling the truth. I'm still not fully convinced by your words. Though I wouldn't mind catching up with Atonix. I've heard he's had quite a few rough patches in the last while..." Send them back? That idea made Res scoff. "Oh? Send the gods of this world back from whence they came? Back to their full power? Firstly, that is a terrible idea. Last thing we need is for you two to extract revenge. Secondly? I deal with temporal issues, not spacial. I couldn't send you back even if I wanted to."
Kynan glanced over and gave Ginger a sly smile. "...Maaaan, it is such a shame that Res doesn't believe us. Guess those Midas folk are smarter than they seem, eh Ginge? Who else would trick the God of Time twice? Must've been Jacob that came up with this plan.."
The glass Res was holding shattered as they slowly turned. "Explain yourselves."

for the grabs? Yep, for the grabs? Placing that in Ginger's not very charismatic category of bad communication. The truth is what it is, just well what it is. What else could she have said? If you don't cooperate I'll sell my knowledge on the streets? Yeah, not a very smart plan that she was certain would backfire.. Probably end up in some Dark Angel Cult. Wait that didn't sound cool enough.. A Dark Nobody Angel Cult, there we go that sounded cooler.
Ahh life at as a cut throat such talent to steal things and murder people, why to feel the strength of a body as it stiffens up almost like a cement only to die off. She truly was curious about the experience and how it'd improve her own writing... But then it came at the cost with never being able to write, or just plain living in depression due to fear of death everyday. OR WORST chained to a wall and enslaved struggling to get that knife and kill. Life. Life sucked.
Res looked over at her eyes feeling very uncomfortable, when they turned back to work on the shelf. Did, she do something wrong? Wait can Res read minds now? Or text? No, ha.. no. right? Right? she felt a slight cold sweat, or maybe she imagined it there, it was tense you know. Just tense. Also why is Res giving her this speech, uhh them.. Yeah them! After all she saw the horrible things that go around, how important knowledge was. To hell the Whole damn forum was alive because of this Powerful object!
Assuming telling the truth, SERIOUSLY! Why would they Lie! What was to be Gained about sending every damn character on a Goose chase. Oh, that's so not right, just ugh. Come on! Why did everyone treat the Roleplayers like some master minds here?! They were failures in their own right, she rubbed her face the frustration causing small little tingles everywhere... Just listening to Res go one about trust, and Atonic, and just Refusing to send them back due to Power gain just Ugh. Did normal writers have to go through this Nonsense? Usually these types of situation last an episode of two, or hell.. Get yelled at by everyone as cope outs or mary sues or... UGH COME ON!
Kynan looked over at her, a smile slipping in, wait. She knew that smile, Kynan had a plan. thank Gawd somebody in the duo did. Boy did she love that kind of smile, moment it came to play she could just feel the confidence and manipulation just oozing of Kynan as she spoke. Wow, she felt a surge of jealousy at it, how cool it was playing out. To be expertly confident in your words, Even causing Time god to SHATTER A GLASS. HA! Ha! She wanted to join in the game and couldn't help but mimic Kynan's body language with her own.
Of course.. to join in. She'd have to be careful not to reveal too much.. Take more of the room Kynan needed to manipulate Res. After all it was clear Kynan knew exactly which buttons to push and how. She just needed to play matter that the catalyst uses to cause the fire. An item just used to keep the flame going. "Oh yes, I believe you are right. After all they were the ones to Catch Time of all things in the first place. But Hey, maybe we can go elsewhere with this important information. Maybe even Henry of all people."
Ahh! You went to Far! Went to far! You can't just Say 'of course' in a sexual teasing manner!? Why use Henry at all?! Been better off with Atonix, no wait that wouldn't work. Just UGH! You know you grew up with a Mom who gives too much detail, and its bad. UGH... Maybe Kynan can still pull this off manipulating Res. Maybe what was said would be good enough to be obvious. Dummy Dummy dummy why can't you just keep your trap shut correctly long enough to let others do what needs to be done!? DON"T YOU DARE EXPLAIN, DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Don't. You Dammit.
"Mmmm Why should we? You didn't care a second ago" Ugh, Ginger you need to die in a corner. Just go, over there. Far away let Kynan handle this. Sure it'll be tag team thing.. Between characters, just. why.

I think with my heart And move with my head "I didn't care because I thought you were lying, or at the very least it was another power-hungry supernatural running around. But Midas? Jacob?" Res growled, tossing the broken glass into the box. "I have been more than kind towards everyone at that-- that-- mistake! After everything they've done to me I had more than enough reason to murder everyone who works there. But I didn't. I let them be because they went silent. I could only assume that after my break out they had lost their main objective and disbanded. But now? If they're active again?"
Res took a deep breath in, muttering under their breath as they rubbed their temples. What was their plan? Why were they back? They hadn't done anything to the timeline so were they messing with Space now? No, they would've known by this point. Then why...
"Mh, interesting. You care more about your petty vendetta than the health and safety of those you're supposed to protect." Kynan idly mused, playing around with a small metal trinket. They glanced at Ginger and smirked. "Now, can we trust you? This is a delicate matter of life and death, we can't let your feelings blind your judgement! Come on, Ginger. You said Henry might be a better option?"
"Wait." Res sighed, arms crossed over their chest as they stared at the two players. "Fine. I agree that I might've been a bit harsh, but you two should know what I've dealt with in the past. Just like you two know what Midas is planning. Please, elaborate. Tell me what you know and I'll do my best to assist you in any way I can."
"Your call, Ginger."

Didn't care, eh? About Lies. Just about Midas and Jacob, well wasn't that just comforting. It was kinda a bit of Res fault for not keeping a complete eye on them that they'd manage to get this far... But Ginger decided against pointing anything out, or really just telling her. Instead letting Kynan take lead to point out Res flaws, so handy really! Why they even used Henry as a taunt, tada she was useful Whoop!
'WAIT' Res responded with a losing sigh, agreeing to help. That she just wanted an elaboration as to what was happening. Just to help the Duo along with their Journey, nothing new here. Kynan gave her the lead letting her make the call, ooh this is fun. Clearing her throat attempting to pull upon all the magic energies of being a leader warrior she focused her gaze on Res. "Jacob is working with a Madman who plans to Create a New Form of Heartless, One who doesn't care about Knowledge like past villains. He had this fruit thing, He-he inserted this Fruit-blood-juice junk into My body! Just I don't know Res, I don't Know. There's nothing on him, nothing at all made after the Summoning. He-he-he Broke Jacob, should've saw Jacob's eyes. Didn't even hesitate or listened to me!"
Her face flushed and she had completely became unaware of it... Her hands were shaking from the mixture of this new found fear of Not Knowing and reality what had Happened. Heart beating faster at the pure thought of Jacob actually Growing Worst of a person. "So, What now?" |

I think with my heart And move with my head Res stared at Ginger as she spoke. Despite their lack of outward expression, it was clear that they were angerly mulling over thoughts, trying to figure out the best plan of attack.
So that's their plan. Making a new form of Heartless. They weren't sure if that was better or worse than the past temporal shenanigans. At least if they were messing with the fabric of reality Res knew exactly what they were getting into. But this? Despite their age, this was something they had never encountered before.
"I'm sorry to hear that happened to you." They finally said, "I think the best course of action right now would be to figure out exactly where Midas is operating. I can vaguely remember where the labs are from my first encounter with them, so I'll check there first. If they're not there then we'll have to track them down, luckily I can think of a few people who can help with that..." Would Atonix be interested in helping with this at all, they wondered. He would know Midas the best out of everyone they knew...
Kynan gave Ginger's shoulder a comforting pat. "And once that's out of the way then we can focus on an actual plan I presume? ...You know, seeing the two of us have vital roles in this world- let alone this plot- I think we should have, oh I don't know, some means of defending ourselves? Saaayyyy--"
"I am not selling you a sword." Res grumbled
"Anyways. From what I remember hearing, you're-" They pointed at Ginger. "The player of Atonix, Henry, and by extension Jacob, correct? You would know them better than anyone else in this town. Would you be able to assist me in convincing Ant to help? Last I heard he moved away from here, but with your help I'm sure we could convince him to at least give us whatever info he knows. You'd also be useful in dealing with Jacob, even if you mentioned that he "broke"...and Henry...well, I'm sure he'd be useful in some manner if he was your second option in this."

She spoke her words, but right as she repeated them something didn't quite sit right. It all didn't seem to add up correctly why would Midas be interested in a New Heartless? That was Eliza's thing and she only did it, because she was the Queen of heartless... But she'd been defeated in that event locked away in the Nightmare realm again, the only one who could even take part was King of Heartless and that roleplayer was inactive taking on other Real life projects. Then there was the Midas they weren't about heartless at all, in fact the exact opposite... More like.. Purity... They were all about purity, and finding the perfect human... Virtues whatnot..
She zoned her attention back when she felt a pat on her shoulder, her blue eyes turned to Kynan wide as Kynan began to speak out. Right. A plan. They.. Needed a plan.. Figure out where Midas was. Where they in the same location? She found herself scratching her wrists too lost in thought even missing Kynans and Res conversation about the sword. Her attention was just drawn back as Res brought up her as a player and her characters. She gave a silent nod of agreement, listening as Res spoke in more detail. It was kinda nice listening to Res think of Ant as an ally and friend, even wishing to be assist to convince him to help. She gave a gentle chuckle at Res bringing up Henry and how he was a second choice. Though was sweet Res trying to make her feel better pointing out how she could be useful in all this.
Ginger merely responded with shaking her head the chuckle growing slightly cracked, "No, not Henry, he was a joke. Please he's practically useless in everything he does. Why he was suppose to be there at the summoning, guess who replaced him. Ha... Atonix. " She shook her head grin still holding, though slowly faltering. "Actually... Wouldn't surprise me if he was somehow indirectly involved, he was always getting himself caught up in the big player things. Also that new Villain was there at his house, I went to see him when the guy appeared. So. Unless you wish to start there..."
She gave a small sigh, "I think Atonix was suppose to be New york. Though I haven't heard from him, Res do you happen to have his number? Or can just poof us to him? Or did you..." want to try Henry's? This was confusing, choices were confusing. What did they want? What would be the best course of action? And what was the Deal with Midas and Heartless?

I think with my heart And move with my head "Hm. Sounds to me like Henry is more important to everything than you let on..." Res quietly thought for a few moments. "I think I'll do that. If you say that he might have a hand in all of this, then he might be a good place to start once I check the labs."
Henry was an odd fellow in their eyes. They had only interacted with him a handful of times, but every time it was an interesting encounter. He must be more interesting than they'd originally thought if he is interacting with Midas...
"His phone number? Of course." Res pulled out their ancient flip phone, stepped forward, and showed Ginger the number. "As I said before, I deal with Temporal issues. I can't "poof" you anywhere no matter how hard I try."
"So we'd have to hunt down Space? Ren?"
"You can certainly try. Space is finicky, so I can't guarantee that you'll accomplish anything in your endeavors." How did they...Players. Right. "Here, take my number too. If anything comes up, do not hesitate to message me. I'm not sure of your plans, be it dealing with Atonix or what-have-you, but if there's anything I can assist with I will do my best. In the meantime, I'll head to the labs and to Henry's and see what I can find out. Is there anything I should be aware of while dealing with Henry?"

More important to everything? Really? Res had that much faith in a man who managed to spend months of trying to send people to do his dirty work? Did Henry really play that important of a roll? She felt this sudden urge to contemplate and figure this out.. It was he who got Corbin to do anything, who helped reincarnate Nathan.. Who.. Huh, was he that important?
Res gave a nod at the phone number showed Atonix's number to her, she quickly typed it into the phone. Sending a text explaining who she was and if it was okay to see him. She... Didn't get a reply.. but, hey what did she expect? "Thanks Res, sorry for not really paying attention on that uhh part.." Or really any part, she had a bad tendency to zone out. Though Space. Ren? Wait. Who was Ren?
She blinked confused as Res and Kynan seemed to pick up this new conversation... Ren.. Ren.. Space.. Space..... Why did Res make that face of confusion.. Like Kynan shouldn't Kno-OH... Oh. Space. Ren. Ren. Space. REN! The Brother person thing, was it a boy? Ehh didn't matter with gods... She felt a slight grin of excitement crossing her face, Finally another conversation with Ren in action! Unless... Wait. Was that Universe canon tot his one. Would Ren even appear.. Ugh Noncanon was such.. No wait Res recognize him, he does exist! it was canon. "Thank you Res.... Be careful in those labs. Oh and uhh.... Before you go.. Just know... Uhh.. Don't get captured or Killed, that'll suck for Kynan's life... Happiness... Yeah. Never mind. " She blushed quickly looking away, "Come on Kynan let's try and figure out how to summer the God of Space.. Who may or may not exist in this Space universe.... thingie..Why did I say that. just... How do we start this business?" her face was growing warmer again. Why must this keep happening? |

I think with my heart And move with my head "Don't worry, I'm not planning in it." There would be no force in this world that could quell their rage if that happened. "Don't let the same happen to you. I'll be sure to let you two know when I've done my part- and if I've learned anything important."
Which would be smarter, Midas first or Henry? Midas would be riskier, so would it be better to see Henry just in case something happened?
They'd have to think this through before rushing into anything lest this is more dangerous than they initially thought...
"Here, a tip before you go seeing as you two want to hunt the God of Space. While he tries to avoid me to avoid paying for his constant "pranks", I have sensed him around town. Where he is exactly, I'm not sure...but if you do see him, please smack him for me."
"Yes'sir!" Kynan gave Res a small wave before turning heel and following Gingers lead. "Well, we have some sort of lead; Look for someone a knock-off Res around town. But this town is surprisingly big...hey, if you were a rambunctious god who could control matter and enjoyed basking in the fruits of mortal delight where would you hang out..?"

Okay, they had a plan. They had a plan! They had a plan! Hurray! 1 step forward, two steps toward VICTORY! Res wished for their safety then gave a tiny wee bit of advice about Ren actually existing And was here! This just got cooler and cooler, wait.. Was Ren somebody she'd actually like as a person? Or just a cool character to watch going on a rampage, kinda like a Bill... you know he was awesome for a character, terrible ally. Speaking of which where was Bill? She knew he was alive but hadn't seen the guy anywhere... Ehhh... Oh well.
"Where would I think a Rambunctious god who can control matter would go?" Bill instantly popped up in my head taking over businesses... no. no. this wasn't Bill.. this was Res character, they'd be lazy non productive.. and a knock-off of Res which was even worst! "How about the arcade and mall? Or somewhere with delicious food?"

I think with my heart And move with my head "We have an arcade??" Kynan looked absolutely ecstatic. "Yeah, the mall might be the perfect place to search! Unfortunately, I don't know this Ren as well as I know this Res...hmm, he's a bit louder and more bold than Res is and he also is a bit more careless when it comes to mortals? Not to say that he actively hurts people, he just doesn't care if something happens. Unlike Res he loves to interfere and use his powers when he can...hell, the whole reason he came here in the first place was to mess with Res."
They quietly clicked their tongue as they thought. "...I'm sure we can appease him somehow. Despite their differences, Space and Time are two sides of the same coin. If got Res we can get Ren, even if we have to bribe the fucker...come on, I have something I want to try later and the sooner we get this done the sooner I can do some science!"
