Sherbet can't seem to hold her excitement.
"Sweeeeeet! That's the best news I've heard in a long while!"
She does an incredibly energetic little jig, her large hair tentacles nearly swatting the two nearby her.
"W-whooops, f-forgot about those for a sec there."
Lambda panics a little.
"Please don't tell him that we told you about this, s-sir...!"
Willow is a little bothered about how terrified her friend seemed to be about this one person.
"Is he really that dangerous, that you're shaking in your boots?"
"D-definitely...Doubly so, with his title of Prince...The destruction he's capable of is massive..."
A massive sick feeling is apparent as Raine rests inside the truck. Then it becomes intense, before the connection is cut.
Something's happened.
Something incredibly bad.
And unfortunately Raine has assumed the worst.
She stumbles out of the bed and hurriedly leaves the truck, absolutely livid.
With barely any rest from the battle before, it seems that she has to do something else.
What could she do?
What does she mean 'What could she do?'!? The person she was willing to spend her life with could have double-died in there!
She wasn't going to just let them do that, prior beef or not.
Raine comes to rely on the card in her person again.
The multitudes of arms pick her up as they drag themselves over to the dream dome, slinking in with her in tow.

"Plans for a place... No, nothing like that. The only plans I got are to go somewhere not here."
Raz glances to Kyana, then to Falks and Jerome a few yards off, the former introducing the later to a a couple of the players as she holds Rivers at arms-length. To the Lost Pawns milling about carefree, and finally to the prismatic sky above.
"...Yeah. Somewhere not here."
---
Farther away from the Pawns, a curious phenomenon seems to be occuring. Like a sea the thickest segments of the crowd part, the players making them up giving way to a new arrival with some mixture of confusion, awe and respect. Perhaps it's the outfit she wears, unique among the God Tiers or at least exceedingly rare as that of a Muse. The gentle aura she seems to exude with her smile and thank-yous, in spite of the half of her face bandaged. A regal presence that begs deference, at odds with the casual way she carries herself.
She has a purpose, though. The path she charts through the crowd that parts for her, even as she does her best to navigate the gaps, is one that brings her behind Samm, trailing faint whispers as the calm she leaves in her wake settles much of the group. And, giggling lightly she taps Samm on the shoulder before folding her hands behind her.
"Hi there."

Samm's gaze wandered as people milled around her. Many people became the subject of her notice for several seconds each, Raz in some distance happening several times. Calmly she smiles a little at seeing him happy..
Quietly she wonders how long things will remain good, how long eternity ill be for her, and when it'll turn to torture.
Perhaps luckily, she's brought out of her slightly darkening thoughts. Not in the best way though.
As she is touched from behind, she jumps with a surprised yelp and takes a moment for her gasping to stop and the adrenaline rush to die down. She turns to see who approached her and smiled, chuckling lightly as she came down off the scare-buzz. "H-hey..." she takes a deep breath. "Was looking for you..."

"I figured. Call it fate, I have a way of knowing this kind of thing.
Lynn winks, gaze wandering in the direction Samm's just left and brightening the more she sees of the crowd. Turning back to Samm with a bright smile she giggles, tilting her head.
"Everyone's so lively...! Not without reason either but, I'm glad. And I'm glad you seem to be doing so much better! Your trip up the tower was fruitful, I hope?"

She only smiled a bit when the other confirmed some sort of talent for knowing these sorts of things. At least her feeling wasn't off. For a moment, she followed Lynn's gaze, sweeping across the crowd. But soon attention was back to the conversation between them. "Yes, thank you..there are some things still foggy but...I know the most of it, like who I am."

The girl excitedly clasps both her hands around one of Samm's, brightening!
"I'm so glad! I knew you could do it, would do it, but, knowing something doesn't mean I can't help worrying... for nothing, I'm glad!"
Lynn giggles a little, relaxing into a calmer smile as she meets Samm's gaze.
"You remember our promise, right? I have to say I've been waiting with bated breath..."

Niki's lighty senses are set off, prompting her to check the area for whatever might be important.
Unfortunately the parted crowd is in the way.
She gets up and asks around to the first back row peep she can find.
"Uh, what's going on right now? It feels like something vaguely important is happening I think?"

Samm is shocked into standing there and just watching her acquaintance seem to geek out over her getting her memories. After Lynn seemed to calm down some, samm nods slightly. "uh...yes, that's why I was looking for you....I'm not sure why you want to know my name so much." she paused some "But my name is Samm...and I'm a sylph of breath..."

"It's hardly a proper introduction if two people don't exchange names, so I've been waiting all this time to meet you. Samm, Sylph of Breath... It's a joy to meet you properly."
Lynn releases Samm's hand and takes a step back to give the poor girl some space, mentally chiding herself. Maybe that was a little extra, maybe she's excited, overly so, but she can't smother her, as much as that might be her first instinct.
"I'm sorry if I'm being a little much, I just... I'm just so excited! Being able to meet you guys like this after staying in the background so long is a dream! And, truth be told your destiny was foggy before, it was hard to divine where you might end up or if it would even be alright. Even my intuition has gaps sometimes, but things have worked out splendidly for you and I can't help but be glad!"
Not much farther off, Lee and Ariel do their best to get a glimpse of Lynn before Niki pulls their attention away and they glance between one another, then to her.
"Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. This girl just showed up out of nowhere there's just something about her... It's strange, for sure."
"I don't recognize her, I think. That's why I'm trying to get a better look, to say for sure. It's not often you see a Muse, this is their power, I suppose."
With all the commotion it's inevitable that Raz picks up on it before long, and he tenses momentarily as he tries to locate the source. Luckily enough his position gives him a line of view to the epicenter, to..
"...Samm!"
--who brightens his expression immediately, and...
"And... L-Lynn?"
--who widens his eyes, bringing about an incredulous, breathless laugh. His shout gains her attention quickly enough and she gasps, excited waving, then waving him over.
"Heeeeeeeeeeey!!"

"huh, a passive master class. I wonder what session she came from..." Niki wonders. she has a hunch that it could be hers, considering the oddly large amount of master class players from her session, but at the same time it seems almost narrow-minded to think she might have been from her session in particular.
"He's definitely worth running away from, that's for sure. The worst part is, most of the time he doesn't even use his powers that often. He just uses whatever he can get his mits on, and he's still a menace!" Charlotte explains.
The commotion where the dancefloor was doesn't seem of too much interest to her.
Mimi looks up from her melancholy and notices the dancing has given way to the arrival of a special-seeming guest of some sort? That's what it looks like anyways.
Then again, does it even matter?
Amanda flies up a little to get a better view. It only takes a few seconds to get a good reading and fly back down to Mimi's level.
"well.... I could see some chick with a ton of bandages. She's talking to somebody... and I have no idea why these weirdos think it's worth crowding over."
The other Niki is just sorta waiting, not sure if she should wake up yet or not.
Maybe soon?

Samm smiles at Lynn's first explanation and nods slowly as she listens to the second one. A background player, watching them She IS aware of the crowd, but her interest in who her acquaitance was raised as each moment passed. "i'm...not sure entirely what you're talking about but...I should thank you-"
She's cut off a bit as Rob's voice cuts the air with her name, and she looks over with a smile. Then, surprise! He knows this girl's name. "Oh hey Raz...you know her?" she waited for him to come over, as Lynn waved for him. "Lynn here is why I was in the tower in the first place.."she started, pausing slightly as she reflected on the meeting. She seemed excitable back then too...and those lines... "I...lost my memory after I ran off, away from the hide out. And somehow found myself in these woods...Lynn found me and told me I'd want to head up the tower."
Another pause, with a thoughtful hum and then looked back at lynn, nodding to Rob. "Is...he the 'him' you were talking about or...?"

Niki, the prince of time, finally wakes up and disappears from the area.
She's been sleeping long enough.

Looking between Lynn and Samm a few times Raz seems caught between happiness and growing confusion, until he finds himself stumbling forward a few klutzy steps. He just barely manages to stay on his feet with a little arm waving, shaking it off before glancing over his shoulder to the culprit: Kyana, now moving as if to shove him again with a chuckle. Rolling his eyes he waves her off before heading over to the pair, smile brightening as he glances between them.
"So that's what ended up happening..."
Listening to Samm's explanation he can't help the furrow in his brow, or the deep sigh he lets out before looking to her with a sad, frustrated expression.
"I had no idea and no time to ask before, and I didn't even think to. Sorry... but, I'm glad you're better now. If there's any way I can start helping don't hesitate to ask, alright?"
Lacing his fingers with hers he offers her a warm smile and reassuring squeeze. Lynn, for her part, hangs back to give the two a moment, nodding a silent answer in the affirmative to Samm's question as if to say yes, he was who she'd meant. The other end of her thread and fate. And after a few pass it's impossible for him to not turn his attention and smile to her.
”Lynn.. I can't even begin to thank you enough for helping her out. Seriously, thanks, I'm in your debt."
Lynn nervously runs her hand through the back of her hair, waving the other as if to wave off their gratitude with.
"Waaaaaa.... Y-You guys!
Suddenly she charges forward, wrapping her arms around both Samm and Raz to pull them into a tight embrace, Raz at least immediately stiffening.
”O-Oh! Oh we're, hugging now. Okay. Got it..."
"I'm sorry I'm just... All I really did was nudge you in the the right directions, your work was what made things happen. Not me. You two don't have to thank me, just seeing you two happy like this is all the thanks or reward I could ever need!"
”...I guess so, huh. Well, still, for whatever part you played, thank you."
Easing into the hug a little he relaxes, Lynn holding it for a few more moments before pulling back to regard him with a sad smile.
"...Besides. Accepting thanks from you feels... hollow, somehow. It's my fault you're around for any of the suffering you or her have endure, taking steps to alleviate it is the least I can do. I... should, confess something. Raz..."
”You brought me to the meteor."
Her eyes widen.
"You knew...?"
”Not the whole time, just since the tower... I saw you carrying me in the Void, and the fragment of his soul you guided to me. I might not have been conscious for it but, I guess that fragment was, and I guess that was enough."
"Hehe... Well. I suppose you know the truth now. I knew you were ready for oblivion and a return to normalcy but I saw something in you.. so I made a choice for you. Against your wishes, I set you on the path for a fate such as this."
Lynn finds her gaze drawn to the ground, that sad smile wavering as her eyes turn misty. And Raz blinks, watching her for a few moments... looking to the group all around, the prismatic sky above... And Samm.
"...It was against my wishes at the time. It was a pretty shitty road at times, there were moments I just. Wanted to give up. Moments I did. And moments I would've welcomed oblivion.
...But, Lynn. Thank you, for it all."
She blinks, eyes widening as they look up to him and find a smile.
"The bad and the good... It all got me to this point, where I made some new friends, and found someone to care deeply about, who cares deeply for me. For things as they are right now... I'm glad you didn't listen to me. This is worth it."
He wraps an arm around her waist to pull Samm closer, and Lynn blinks a few more times. And a few more still, before her lips split in a misty smile, and she regards him like that.
"...You forged a wonderful fate for yourself Raz, Knight of Mind."
Raz chuckles, turning his gaze to the crowd, some of whom flash him thumbs ups, others jeering him by pantomiming thrown roses.
”Couldn't have done it without you. Or, without any of these knuckleheads."
Lynn giggles, folding her hands behind her back as she turns a full 360 to survey the crowd, some of whom straighten out when they find her attention on them.
"Yes... And, it's not just you. I'm sorry everyone, the two of us have a little history but I came for you all as well! You've all managed to forge an incredible fate from what Paradox Space has left you, you've all done and I'm sure will continue to do incredible things! Take pride in it and never forget, that yours is an awesome destiny and it sits squarely in your hands! And, you may not know me, I don't know you very well besides the sight of this grand battle, but I'm proud of each and every one of you!"

Niki, the mage of light, notices that the Really Important Muse of Doom has addressed everyone that participated in the fighting prior. The gravity of what she helped them accomplish still hasn't entirely sunk in. It's a bit daunting and intimidating to even process. she smiles a little and sorta gazes aside at nothing in particular.
Meanwhile, Dylan and Jessie... and Jessica continue discussing matters regarding her wish to use The Stage. A coin is flipped and a decision is made. Jessie yells this out loud enough for the whole group to hear: "HEY WHEN YOU MEET ME IN YOUR FUTURE MAKE SURE TO TELL PAST ME TO SHOOT JACK WHEN SHE HAS THE CHANCE IN HER FUTURE!"This at very least baffles Dylan and his sister. They eventually settle for having Jessica post the message online where it can be seen and remembered. With their work done for now, they resume resting, flopped on the ground. Show Dialoglog
The others, belonging to Mimi's crew, seem mostly proud and excited to be apart of something so important. Mimi isn't really feeling it all that much, but Amanda and her fallen sessionmates try to console her a little. Other than that, it's a good day.
Far off from the crowds, Niki, the Prince of Time, delivers a chocolate dagger to Lycoris, in a box. Nobody is harmed, but Lycoris still seems lost in existential distress. Niki then has a short conversation with Kalmaro and gets him to wake up. At some point, Niki tosses a cardboard sign with the memo's name on it into the crowd, accidentally donking an unknown bystander with it. From what it looks like, Niki was able to escape back to the ship before anyone pursued her. Show Dialoglog |

Samm, for her part, smiles back at Raz/rob when he holds her hand and tells her to ask him for help whenever. She smiles a little back, and for the most part feels peaceful and content letting the two hae their own conversation. While they talk, she has no idea what they're talking about in their shared past, so her mind wanders to when she and Lynn met and the sight of her line tangled with a green one. How tangled, she wondered...perhaps for eternity?
Some part of her hoped she could just...remain happy for so long, even as she mostly doubted it.
Soon, she is pulled closer to Raz, and she smiles almost instinctually, leaning into nuzzle him a little. She stays there, comforted by his presence, and listens in as their seemingly mutualfriend goes to give a sort of congradulations speech. "Hm..its almost like a movie...isn't it?' she asks quietly.
