Mood. He could feel the world struggling in this place, left barren after some catastrophic event that devoured even residual mana. It was like watching blood flowing backward into a broken and battered body, slowly, without any of the decay or rot healing in the process. The patches of grass...

He listened carefully to her words. He owed her that much consideration. She had been very, almost brazenly open with her feelings, and an honest answer was the only recourse. Even if it was 'I need time to think.' It wasn't that this time, though. "Oh, I'm not doubting your taste in men or...

Like a cornered animal, Erick's eyes went wide. He could see many things with his power, but the intentions of others were not made plain simply by watching them. Ruby eliminated the guessing game with a sudden and forceful display. Their noses touched. She pulled closer. He could smell her...

He looked down to where she tapped his fist, mouth ajar in apparent surprise. His confusion only grew when she said that he was blind or pretending not to see something. ". . . ?" The conversation had gone in a direction he was uncertain of. In the past hour or so, he had nothing but jumbled...

"I don't want you to die," he told her, smiling softly. "If anything, I'm thankful that you have that sense of self preservation. People to live for, people who love you, people who are proud of you. There's something to look forward to on each new day." It wasn't apt to say that Erick wanted...

He straightened a bit when the leader of the defense effort addressed him by name. Erick had never been much for the limelight, or being remembered by the people who were considered "worth noting." He never played sports or took a leading role. Praise like the kind Levi gave him was slightly...

He hobbled his way into the Food Tent, still lightheaded from the experience of rebirth. The lengthy walk back to Camp Hope had given him ample time to consider the implications of his death and the circumstances that surrounded it. In a single moment without hesitation, he had assured that a...

Erick visibly grimaced at the insinuation he ought to attempt to further manipulate the sands of time. His death, not hours past, had humbled him. He had learned what it meant to interfere in things not intended for mortal minds. Now this girl, this sweet and yet unreasonable girl was asking...

Why? The burning question, a concept that plagued the minds of countless terminated renditions of him. The unfairness that any one of them could be where he is, and yet, they never would be. Now that sentiment crystallized, and it took on a Ruby hue. It was as if the woman had grabbed the...

The images he'd seen remained with him, haunting. Soulless and mechanical, the robotic Ruby who held out her hand toward him beckoned to Erick with a monotone to join her in painless perfection. Another empty-eyed iteration had already lost her life, and the thought of either eventuality brought...

If he was supposed to feel different, he didn't. He didn't feel any different in any physical sense whatsoever. However, he now lived with a different understanding, and because of that, everything was different. Normal people lived their lives without dedicating themselves to understanding...

What did you see? What did you feel? What did you think? What did you... hear? A thousand, thousand suns had gone out. The frigid, austere grip of a machine menace closed around an non-terminating number of his compatriots. Their faces overlapped the oiled and...

175 -30 from Dynamic Lightning Rush -30 from Eruption Vulnerable Even at the insane speeds that the monstrosity conjured, everything bled together. His senses zeroed the variables and honed in on the MEME.naught, and the existence that was Erick became a fluid concept. Accepting that a human...

She looked so delicate as she fell asleep against him that Erick couldn't help but to watch carefully, just to be sure that she was safe. He'd had a brother, but never a sister; and his relationship with his sibling was strained at best. He always wondered what it would be like if they'd been...

There was admittedly some recalcitrance behind the scenes when Erick heard Ruby talk about "today" and "tomorrow" like they were bleeding together. It was never right to lose respect for time because experience had soured it. The past was not something that could be bought back, and the precious...

165 -10 from Eruption -10 from moving into a scorched area. -10 from Retal. Erick gains Saving Throw advantage from Protect Aura. It continued on its path, dauntless. Erick felt the pangs of frustration intermingle with unholy heat around him as sweat beaded on his flesh. The air was so dry...

175 @Erick Styker and Levi gain save roll advantage (Protect Aura) It was nominally different than anticipated. When Erick thought of Siege Engines, he did not consider multipedal warmachines that moved at intense and blinding speeds. Generally, they were slow moving and heavy hitting. It...
