Interaction Booth
A featureless, almost unnerving room of red, with a slight elevation in the middle. Although it seems to just be something bizarre...it's possible there is more to this place.
Seven Stones: The door slams open.
Seven Stones: "...Alright. I need to ask whoever is here one question."
He closes the door behind him.
⚇ : "hm?"
∴ : "howdy"
⁜ : "Sup"
☆ : "hellooooo"
Seven Stones: Staring up at the ceiling, he glares at nothing in particular.
"...Why?"
⚇ : "you think we know??"
⁜ : "That's unfortunately a difficult question to answer."
⤧ : “we’re bored”
☆ : "Genuine answer: I don't know."
"Funny answer: shit sucks man."
⚇ : "be nice."
☆ : "yeah that's why I put the genuine answer"
∴ : "hang on why what????"
Seven Stones: "You're deities. You're gods. I need a better answer."
He exhales deeply, his fists clenched. The stones he levitates swirl around his head gently.
"Why? Why are we suffering? What does this game need to happen? And why can't ANY of you do something about it? What is SO powerful that all-powerful beings can't do anything!?"
⁜ : "...There is another being, who is more powerful than we are."
⚇ : "at least, thats what were pretty sure it is"
⚇ : "we arent all-powerful."
∴ : "rules and such"
☆ : "Unfortunately, the others are right. I apologize."
⁜ : "It seems the most we can do is vaguely influence what happens. But ultimately, we cannot control it."
☆ : "If we could do something, we would."
⚇ : "someone has decided that you need to be punished. and this is how theyve decided to do it. beyond that, we dont know. cant even tell you whos behind it all, other than the prawn."
⚇ : "and that other guy."
⚇ : "but that other guy appears to be dead, so..."
Seven Stones: "....Fuck your rules," He mumbles under his breath. "...If your damn rules, justify anything that happened yesterday...I hate them. I hate them.
...Something seems to be happening to the stones.
⚇ : "it doesnt justify shit. it just means we cant affect whats happening."
⚇ : "none of us think this is justified."
∴ : 👆
Δ : "They're not our rules, either."
☆ : "Honestly you SHOULD hate them."
⁜ : "Agreed. It's terrible what's happening to you guys. All we can do is offer our sympathies."
⚇ : "do you want a blanket? we can also offer blankets"
◑ : "i dunno you guys. i think its kinda funny 🍹"
⚇ : "kill yourself."
∴ : "is the blunt still there- bruh"
☆ : "it's not funny."
◑ : "okaaaay~! ^_^"
⁜ : "Goodness gracious"
☆ : "oh shit IS the blunt still there?"
"Seven Stones do you want a blunt"
◑ : "oh yeah. you can have that if you want its been out for a week but like"
☆ : "we can make a new one"
⁜ : "I don't think this is exactly... Comforting."
Seven Stones: "...I don't need pity."
One of the stones enlarges.
In an instant, the stone is thrust at the nearest wall, and it BREAKS the entire wall into pieces. The bricks crumble, and the stone piercing it seems to shoot right on through the whole thing...before returning to its sender.
...On the other side of the wall is...
...nothing. The void. Emptiness.
∴ : "ope"
⚇ : "now look what youve done"
☆ : "damn you're strong"
⁜ : "Well that's certainly not a good thing."
∴ : "uh crap is that going to summon the prawn"
⤧ : “oh shit we’re fucked”
⚇ : "dont... dont go in there, probably"
⁜ : "Better hope no one falls in there."
☆ : "yeah don't go in there"
☍ : "Isn't that funny, how that works out? No sort of control center or obligatory monitoring cliche."
◑ : "i'll give you a scooby snack if you do. prommy"
☆ : "DO NOT"
⁜ : "I concur, DON'T"
◑ : "🫰"
☆ : "I'll give you two Scooby snacks if you don't how about that"
Δ : "You might get something from us, but it won't be definite answers. I think what you just did is quite the microcosm of that."
The Destroyer: Indeed. It does, in fact, summon the prawn.
"Woah woah woah! I didn't know you could do THAT! How about you-"
Another stone enlarges and pummels the prawn.
☆ : "WOOOOOO GET ITS ASS"
∴ : "like this is a genuine what the heck why is it leading into the void- OH SNAP NICE SHOT"
◑ : "NICE"
⚇ : "do that again actually"
∴ : "wait someone get the wii sports sound effect"
☆ : "yeah take out your feelings on the prawn"
⁜ : "Actually I don't think thats such a good idea. Lest you recieve punishment by the prawn."
⤧ : “PRAWN DOWN PRAWN DOWN!!!”
∴ : "but like seriously we dont know why theres a void, its like. beeg risk if u try and hop out there"
⁜ : "Don't jump into the void"
⁜ : "Ignore the intrusive thoughts"
⚇ : "dice cant hurt you"
Δ : "Aren't we the intrusive thoughts, with the way this is playing out?"
⤧ : “now is not the time to beam images into their brain”
⁜ : "Ah, I suppose we are."
☆ : "yeah but it's funny"
Seven Stones: He doesn't need any encouragement. He keeps pummelling the prawn with stones...partially cracking the floor.
The Destroyer: The Destroyer is rapidly reduced to dust by all of the destruction.
...But, as soon as the stones let off, they reform.
True Destroyer: As their proper self.
☆ : "OHHHHHHH SHIT"
⚇ : "okay cool. goodbye"
⁜ : "You've made a terrible mistake"
⚇ : "it was nice knowing you"
Δ : "I'm not sure how more stones would pan out here. Care to give it a whirl? Or not. I'm a proponent of 'not'."
⤧ : “GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY IT’S ALL GONE TO SHIT”
True Destroyer: "Ah-ah-ah!"
They giggle. "Unfortunate mistake, Seven Stones! But luckily, I don't support the death penalty. Can you go now? I need to deal with this hole in the wall.
Seven Stones: "...What the fuck is your problem!?"
Δ : "You... don't..."
⚇ : "what"
⁜ : "That is the sentence coming out of your mouth of all time."
◑ : "seven stones the blunt offer still stands. if you want it. i think you might need it"
Δ : "Yeah! That's something to hear out of you!"
☆ : "wait if you don't support the death penalty why are you executing these guys if they get caught for murder"
⁜ : "Bit hypocritical."
True Destroyer: He peaces the fuck out...but not before doing one more thing.
He floats over to Seven Stones, and grabs all of the stones they're holding.
And then he leaves...turning the stone prota stoneless.
◑ : "🤨 NO STONES?"
∴ : "uh"
⤧ : “ALL STONES WITH ONE PRAWN”
Δ : "Oh man, come on. Your name is now even more of a misnomer."
⁜ : "Oh shit now seven stones is just a stone"
☆ : "one stone???"
∴ : "no stones-"
⚇ : "can we not make fun of the guy"
Seven Stones: ...
He doesn't say a single other thing to to the chattery deities. He just walks away, looking angrier than he did before.
