where's ashlyn!! rondo will come check on her once she's had some time to decompress from the noise... he's... fine. he's certainly way less exuberant than ever, and his black inky text has changed to something like it happening twice. it's fine. everything is fine. ]
There are these... rings that belong to the gods in Orsterra. When a human being has them, they can influence that person into doing horrible, horrible things - and... sometimes, when they ask the ring for more power, it... twists them into something different. Something monstrous.
[ unfortunately this is half the plot of COTC ]
I've only seen it happen once, myself, but... it's pretty horrifying.
[ ashlyn's YOUR FAULT tattoo shifts back to saying MONSTER. don't worry about it. ]
... I guess monsters are more powerful then humans. Do they... not know that can happen? [ because who would take that risk? or are they just gambling each time they reach for strength, pushing it more and more? ]
[ HE'S WORRIED ABOUT IT? I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT? by which i mean rondo does look at it, but - he draws his eyes away after a moment because he is a good boy.
and...eventually, he nods. ]
I... don't really know. It might be desperation, maybe. Being so focused on achieving what you wanted with the ring that... you don't care what happens to you. [ it's not a pleasant memory, really. ceraphina was terrifying, an angel warped into biblical proportions, and he frowns to himself as he thinks about it again. ]
Even then, it's... their choice, to do it. Not like today.
People just make stupid choices sometimes. That's one thing... [ but yeah. this whole mess is different. no one is choosing. ] Can it be fixed? Whatever happens to people with those rings?
Not... in any way that I've ever seen. By the point they've transformed, they've stopped caring - I don't think anything could bring them back. [ the gods punishing humanity for their hubris, really. ] It's... like a consequence you can't turn back from.
