[ it's over. ]
STOP!
[This voice should sound familiar-- it's the slightly British guy who's been absent for a few months. He staggers out of nothingness, looking like he's been sick in bed for a year.
Any angels or shadows still crawling around stop halfway through whatever they're doing. Like hitting pause on the remote control. In fact, that's pretty much what he's done. His pallid face contorted with fury, he summons one of those pop-up HUDs, makes some swiping motions, and dismisses it.
The creatures blink out of existence. No burning, no exploding, just... gone.]
What. Is. Going. On.
[Another figure, surprisingly less rumpled, appears just a couple feet away. He's dressed in a long blue coat, and he has dark black hair braided down his back. His features are hawkish, and his eyes a piercing yellow.]
Wolfgang, I don't think you should be walking around in your current state. You're not yet recovered.
[Wolf turns on him.] You're part of the... no. You did this? But we were friends! I trusted you, and you were tinkering wi' the Machine all along?! [He coughs a couple times, wheezing and awful.] You... you poisoned me. Didn't you. From the start.
I tried to tell you that your dream was impossible... but you just wouldn't listen. We could make a whole new universe with this-- and you want to save the one that rejected you?
[Wolf's eyes flash.] I won't sacrifice people to save myself! [He launches a volley of fire at Tian, who doesn't even bat an eye. The fire hits a wall of water and turns into steam, obscuring the area for a moment.
When the smoke clears, Tian is gone, and Wolf is left with fire crawling across his fingertips. He sucks in a breath through his teeth, lets it fizzle out.]
Oh, goddess. I... I need to sit down.
