Seth blinks, before remembering Homestuck, and then remembering Equius, the strong-as-fuck mechanic that crushed everything he touched. Then he remembers the broken horn thing and makes the connection.
He laughs. "It's a long story. I need to attend to something though."
Thoren uses his time powers to slow down time to easily dodge her mace swing, and moves to try and disarm her by trying to hit the mace out of her hand with a slightly burning elbow strike.
He resumes normal speed.
"Don't you play hardball with me, I will make you regret it."
Seth makes his way towards Thoren, who seems to be fighting Raine. Seth can tell what Thoren's intentions are so he stays out of the way of any attacks.
"Raine, stop it! I fucking invited you and the others into my home, the least you can do is try to be a little more fucking civil!"
Marin is still crying.
The other seths are taking notice of the scene and watch from the sidelines.

The mace drops to the ground with a CLANG. From muffled obscenities turn to muffled sobbing.
Zwei still keeps her on hold, as she knows that something bad will happen if she lets go.
Someone speaks. It's Noelle, her usual stoic expression is now something akin to absolute hopelessness.
"So it's come to this then...Our home is gone...Shade is gone...And we're pretty much stuck inside someone's fragile psyche with no plausible way out...And not to mention, nobody is in a good enough condition to fight the asshole that destroyed our home anyway..."
She holds the doll that was once known as Shade tightly. She starts to sob as well.
"...What are we gonna do now..?"
The souls seem to become weighted from the atmosphere.

The Heir of Hope walked into the dome.
"Does anyone remember a trail made in Goggles, or something? If you do, what is it?"

Niki is trying to type a reply to a forum post using her hands-free glasses, but the ruckus is making it difficult to focus properly. It's just a simple freaking post...
She hears Patrick but is too distracted by literally everything to do much right now.

While Alpha Seth and Thoren are trying to deal with Raine, Schrodinger is talking some of the other seths into following him out of the backstage area. A small handful follow behind him. Rudolph stays behind however, stating he's still trying to find the Kat that wasn't able to save him. Mac and Jasper stay behind to jam out on the piano, and Vincent doesn't want to get too lost before completing his ultimate task. The link seths stayed behind to protect Marin.
The ones that follow him are Velveeta, Raphael, Cojiro, Paper eater, Shopkeeper, and Catscratch.
They make their way onto the stage and hop off of it one by one into the auditorium of empty chairs.
"are you sure they're gonna be alright without us?"
"I know they can handle shit."
They reach the front door and open it.
There is a bright light beyond it.
The small seth party finds themselves outside of a quite nice looking theater. There is a massive grassy field that stretches out before them. The dirt is a rosy color and there are rather large cogs that stick out in places. There seem to be three places that can be seen in the distance. A checkerboard battlefield, a mansionlike headquarters building, and a small 2 story house. They all look intimately familiar to the group, despite being so far away. Cojiro the cucco flaps his wings a little as he jumps up and down.
"whoa..."
"Which way should we go?"
"Let's report to the others and wait first."
The shopkeeper looks towards the far-off house.
Raphael and Catscratch try to keep their gaze away from the HQ, mostly focusing on the battlefield.
Velveeta pulls a bowl of macaroni out of his pocket and starts eating.
"fine with me" he says with puffy cheeks.
Paper eater just lays back in the grass, looking up at the wide open blue sky.

Someone wades through the crowd and takes the mace before disappearing back into the crowd.
When the party walks out on stage and some go into the empty seats... Just before entering the bright light, there is a figure sitting in the front row.
She is smiling, with the mace on her lap. Her long hair is covering part of her face and she is wearing a flowing white dress. You cannot see her normally, only when you are about to walk through the light and then she disappears. She is smiling and claps for those who enter the light. She is cheering them on. |

Raine starts to frantically panic as she notices the mace go missing, to the point where she manages to break free of Zwei's grip, causing her to fall over.
"WHO STOLE IT!?" Raine screams, looking around threateningly as she tries to look for whomever took the mace.
Zwei grabs hold of one of Raine's arms, but she pushes her away.
"It's not that important!"
"You don't understand! It's the only thing I have left!!!"
"There are things out here that you'll find that are better than what you have now, don't you know that!?"
"That's not true! There's nothing out there for me! Don't think that you can get away with the fact that you're the problem, too! You stole my body!"
"I know that!!! And, sure, I had my own selfish reasons to do it! But if I and Ophelia hadn't stepped in, you would have tried to off yourself!!"
"WHY DO YOU INSIST THAT I'M BETTER OFF ALIVE?!"
Raine shifts forward and punches Zwei straight in the face.
Zwei staggers as she puts one of her hands towards her to cover it.
Ophelia pleads with Raine, "Trust me...You don't want to lose everything...You'll regret it all once you realize it too late, like I have."
...They fall on deaf ears.
"...I wont have to, if I make sure that I'm erased from existence entirely."
A smaller group sees the other group head on past the backstage area and follows after, trying to avoid the chaos that will probably ensue. The notable ones to leave seems to be Ribbon, and the other girl with horns.
They all seem to be speechless as they see the scenery from outside the theater.
"W....Wow....."
"This is his mindspace, huh...Seems a lot more peaceful than I thought it would be..."

The Figment of Logan attempts to draw on RN's mental power to erect a Prospritium wall to block the Dream Dome's door...

Thoren looks around for the mace. It couldn't have gone that far when he hit it out of her hand, right?
"Raine. We did all this to save you! Because we fucking care about you! Don't you see? We went through this shit because we care! I've already had to see at least one of you die, and I'm not letting you slip away into the darkness so easily! And I'm sure as fuck not letting you remove yourself somehow!"
"He's fucking right! We didn't just go through the entire fucking Divine Comedy just for you to just give up!" Tears are falling from Thoren's eyes. He thought he could finally find someone that could love him, and yet she doesn't even want to live, let alone show affection towards a literal mass murderer.
Maybe he'll never find anyone that will accept him...
There it is again, that painful feeling of rejection.
Seth can feel it from Thoren quite easily.
The ground is now shaking.
"Alpha, what, what the fuck are you doing?!" Thoren looks over at Seth, who has his eyes closed as tears fall.
All of a sudden, the backstage begins to change shape.
It has become an elegant ballroom, and now Seth and Thoren are wearing matching tuxedos, and if the suggestion went though, the others in the room will likely find themselves wearing their own preferred ballroom attire.
The floor is covered in glimmering black tile that sparkles like diamonds. Tall white pillars and arches hold up the massive ceiling, which is covered in intricate stained glass patterns of red gears. What was once the old piano in the corner is now a beautiful grand piano in a location easily seen. There's a pile of identical black cellos waiting to be picked up and played nearby, one of them aleady in Jasper's hands.
The auditorium has shifted to a modestly-sized area with quite a few tables and chairs, and the stage is gone.
From the outside, the theater can be seen shining white before changing shape into a grand fairytale castle, similar to the ones on Prospit or Derse, but with a black and red color scheme.

Niki is sitting in a fold-up chair in a beautiful poofy yellow dress. She stands up and looks around at her gown. It looks amazing. The ballroom looks awe inspiring. It's truly something much better than the somewhat cluttered and cramped backstage area.

...RN had never seen his moirail in a suit... So the Figment ended up wearing SH's old Prospitian Army Service Uniform.
"Huh. That's interesting."

"...I swear to god if I tore the audio receptors out of this body I would STILL HEAR ALL THE BITCHING!"
"RAINE! YOU DON'T WANT A FUCKING MACE GIVEN TO YOU BY THE MOST EVIL MAN IN THIS REGION OF PARADOX SPACE. GAME LADY! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A DREAMING SEAGULL SO I'm not entirely sure what your deal is and I just shouted and... shit."

"Hey, Robot dude, calm down. There's no reason to shout."
The figment calmly walked over to the soulbot.
