Red Hallway
The hallway connects to the dining room. Different doors sprout out in different directions. Some are just closets, but others lead to more interesting locations. There's a bend near the end of the hall, leading to the dorms.
Stranger: He's just leaning up against the hallway...thinking.
Man. He's tired. Maybe he should take a nap...
...Or, no. He needs a cheese stick right about now. He needs to eat a cheese stick, and then take a nap-
True Destroyer: ZZZZZZZOOOOOOOM.
MX-Z0: WOOOO-
She pauses. "Oh. Greetings, Stranger. Don't mind me."
-OOOOOOOOOSH.
Stranger: ...Huh.
He sighs, too curious not to try and see what the hell they're doing. Guess he can't get a moment of peace around here, huh?
Endless Room
True Destroyer: He practically bursts into the room, little legs at full throttle, before sprinting off into the winding paths of the room.
MX-Z0: But Mixzo is on his tail, and is keen to track him down...unfortunately she might've accidentally left her dad behind as she wheeled off, and he was the one who understood this place the best...
But she needed answers. And so she, too, went into the endless room...chasing every which way trying to find him.
Stranger: By the time Stranger caught up to them, panting and wheezing...all he could see was black and pink blurs speeding past him every so often. An almost cartoony chase was unfolding before his eyes...
(...She's trying to catch the prawn, yeah? There has to be a way I can help...)
He scratches his head, thinking...
...And then gets a rather stupid idea.
Stranger: ...When the next black blur flies past him, quick as can be...
...He extends a leg out, and watches as The Destroyer pathetically trips on his face.
True Destroyer: BONK.
He yelps from surprise as he falls over, a crushing sound being heard from the sheer velocity at which he fell...Thankfully, his immortality saves him. He stumbles back on to his feet, disoriented...
MX-Z0: ...When Mixzo finally catches up, and grips him with force. It's a straight-up grapple, the prawn now locked in place.
"Thank you, Stranger...how did your leg not break from doing that?"
Stranger: "...I...don't know."
MX-Z0: "Hm."
Shoving that aside, She focuses her attention back on the...oddly fluffy prota she's holding. He's squirming in her grasp, hissing.
True Destroyer: " G-Get off of me!! I'm not gonna tell you anything! It's an NDA! Non! Disclosure! AGREEMENT!!"
MX-Z0: "...No."
Stranger: "What exactly are you trying to get out of 'em, Mix?"
MX-Z0: "I was able to translate the book Tarnish found, before Paradi stole it from me. He was mentioned in the book...and might know something about someone named Wren."
True Destroyer: "I don't!! I don't!!" He continues to struggle to no avail, cursing under his breath about the strength that was taken away from him. "And if you don't lay off, I'll make Wren come down here and-"
Whoops. He...dropped the name just now, didn't he?
MX-Z0: ...Smirk.
"Oh? The Wren that you don't know about? Interesting."
True Destroyer: ...The prawn begins weeping.
"Just...just let me go! I don't wanna tell you guys anything!!"
Stranger: "...Kid." He speaks. "Just...calm down, alright?"
True Destroyer: "M...Mmmrr..."
He wants to call for his mom again, but knows that...she...
She won't come.
...Sigh. "...Fine. I'll tell you SOMETHING, I guess."
MX-Z0: "...Go on."
True Destroyer: "Wren is, uh....Wren...is..."
A knot forms in his throat. He swallows it down.
"She...took care of me, y'know? And found me when I got stuck in some ice...and loved me...and I helped her all I could, even when her daught...uh...tried to kill her, and erase her entirely. And then, uuu...someone found her. Her spirit, I mean. And we...we uh, made them a man-made god. She's very strong, and she's...watching..."
...He goes quiet. Very quiet. He looks to the floor, disgruntled...a red tear slips from his face.
"...s-sorry, mama."
Stranger: "Watching? Is she one of the deities in the-?"
True Destroyer: He weakly shakes his head.
Stranger: "...Ya mean something else, then. Huh..."
(...Man-made god? Who found her? Do we...know them?)
(...It might be the mastermind. Makes the most sense, from what we know...)
MX-Z0: She seemed perplexed, too, as she took her grip off of The Destroyer. "...Interesting. Thank you, Destroyer. You can go now."
True Destroyer: With a whimper, he waddles off, acting as if someone had slapped him across the face.
MX-Z0: "...Curious."
Stranger: "That's a bit of an understatement. This Wren person sounds...crazy. She was erased from history, or something? And she's watching us? I don't get it, I don't think."
MX-Z0: "That is true...but I am also seeing a pattern. He keeps referencing his "mother"...he's childish, and naive at some points..."
Her antennae blink with intrigue. "...Is it possible that this prota doesn't entirely understand what he's orchestrating here? Was he..."
Blink. Blink.
"Hm. I believe I'm rambling...we should discuss this later."
Stranger: "I'm down to talk with you at my dorm later, if you want. Better to try and figure things out then wait uselessly for someone else to die..."
MX-Z0: ...She smiles. "I'll remember that. Be seeing you, Stranger."
She leaves, antennae still blinking.
Stranger: Stranger waves as she heads off, and now...he's left to wonder.
(What Mixzo was saying...is she implying that The Destroyer was manipulated? By someone he sees as a parental figure?)
(It's...a stretch...but to be fair, It's not like I know the guy well. His name is just as weird as he as a prota is...)
(...I should probably think about this later tonight. For now, I really need to go get that cheese stick.)
