Season: 3

[Ceph and Ollie sit around playing homemade bingo. A jar filled with crumpled numbers sits to their right. Ceph draws a paper from it, and squints at the number.]

[21:00:45] <✦[rp] ceph> fuck

[The door opens, and Prince enters inside. Ceph grimaces as they face Ollie.]

[21:00:54] <✦[rp] ceph> ahahah ^_^

[Prince smiles as he sees Ceph. He walks towards them before noticing someone slowly standing up next to them.]

[21:00:59] <✦[rp] Prince> hm! ^w^

[21:01:05] <✦[rp] Prince> ceph. who is that.

[21:01:11] <✦[rp] Ollie> uh .

[Ceph yells slightly, trying to get Prince’s attention.]

[21:01:28] <✦[rp] ceph> heyyyyy princeyyy ahahaaa ^_^

[Ollie quickly looks away from Prince, attempting to hide their face. Prince points directly at them.]

[21:01:37] <✦[rp] Prince> who. is that.

[Prince points at the bingo.]

[21:02:12] <✦[rp] Ollie> why would you SAY THAT-

[Prince flies towards them with a burst of speed, and crashes into the table. Ollie jumps out of his way, while Ceph doesn’t move, their dress flapping slightly as Prince passes by.]

[21:02:24] <✦[rp] Ollie> what the fuck

[21:02:15] <✦[rp] Prince> IS THIS BINGO?

[Prince presses his face into the table, moving his arms back and forth over all of the game boards and crumpled up pieces of paper.]

[Ollie rolls his eyes.]

[21:03:30] <✦[rp] Ollie> oh dear lord

[21:03:46] <✦[rp] ceph> ^_^

[Prince turns around to look at Ollie. He stares into their eyes, which is unnerving, as his eyes are mostly just two points of red light at this point.]

[21:03:52] <✦[rp] Ollie> stop looking at me like that

[21:04:06] <✦[rp] Prince> oh. o........................ily......

[21:04:57] <✦[rp] Prince> sure

[Prince whips back towards Ceph. He drops to the ground in a kneel, before standing and bowing. He nods at Ceph, patting his chest as he accentuates “my”.]

[21:05:18] <✦[rp] Prince> anyways ceph. myyyyyyyyyyy king. my king. my king. who is this. why is he here. alone with you. playing bingo

[Ollie sighs, he nods at Ceph as Prince talks, motioning for the two of them to get away. Prince has clearly frayed his last nerve. As Prince repeats my king for the third time, Ollie starts talking.]

[21:05:19] <✦[rp] Ollie> heyyyyy ...Ceph can we go to your liquor cabinet. basement. Whatever

[Ceph shakes their head.]

[21:06:07] <✦[rp] ceph> fine. rude ass

[Prince makes something that might have once been a growl, but instead his throat glows, and a clicking noise like a sculk sensor comes out of his mouth.]

[Prince holds out his hands.]

[21:31:49] <✦[rp] Prince> and you dont even

[21:31:52] <✦[rp] Prince> you dont even care!

[Prince starts to tremble. He balls his hands up into fists. A thin liquid begins dripping from behind the pair of shades.]

[Prince starts to mutter to himself.]

[21:33:01] <✦[rp] Prince> useless useless

[Ollie takes a step backwards. A sudden rush of fear goes through him as the candles in the church flicker.]

[21:32:59] <✦[rp] Ollie> heyy Ceph didn't you want to go to your room-

[21:33:07] <✦[rp] Ollie> think now would be a great time to do that

[Ollie whispers to Ceph: ]

[21:37:45] <✦[rp] Ollie> ceph maybe you shouldn't keep going, he doesn't seem to be taking this well uh

[Prince stumbles over the words already tumbling out of his mouth.]

[21:37:47] <✦[rp] Prince> a king carries a sword and drives them through the heart of an enemy

[21:37:56] <✦[rp] Prince> i was YOUR sword!!

[21:38:51] <✦[rp] ceph> ur ass is robot

[Prince doubles over, and then his back straightens. His voice becomes voices, and they seem to come from everywhere, echoing out of his mouth, and throughout the high ceilings of the church.]

[21:39:16] <✦[rp] Prince> [then what am i if not your sword?]

[21:39:36] <✦[rp] ceph> freaky..uh

[Ollie grabs Ceph’s hand.]

[21:42:12] <✦[rp] ceph> bc nobody else will do it for u

[There is a new sound in the church. Something low and deep. It pounds faster and faster, until it becomes clear that this sound is in time with the bioluminesce that appears in waves across Prince’s chest. It’s the sound of a heartbeat. It’s the sound of a warden growing closer. Prince steps towards Ceph. Ollie materializes his axe out of the Void, he holds it firm.]

[21:42:29] <✦[rp] Prince> [you really dont know me at all]

[21:42:34] <✦[rp] ceph> i DONT

[21:42:40] <✦[rp] ceph> i never did

[21:42:54] <✦[rp] ceph> did i ever claim to

[21:43:09] <✦[rp] Prince> [i wanted you to]

[21:43:35] <✦[rp] ceph> i also wanted a lot of things

[21:43:48] <✦[rp] ceph> sometimes we dont get what we want

[21:44:01] <✦[rp] Prince> [yeah]

[21:44:08] <✦[rp] Prince> [it seems we dont]

[Prince steps back.]

[21:44:19] <✦[rp] ceph> ^_^

[Prince’s heartbeat slows, the bioluminescence flickering across his body incrementally slower, until it seems to pass only every thirty seconds.]

[21:45:06] <✦[rp] ceph> woaw

[21:45:16] <✦[rp] ceph> weird

[Prince’s voice returns to a singular speaker.]

[21:45:17] <✦[rp] Prince> useless. useless. i was always useless to you wasnt i?

[21:45:23] <✦[rp] Prince> i was never a sword

[21:45:26] <✦[rp] Prince> i was never a tool

[21:45:26] <✦[rp] ceph> uhm.

[21:45:32] <✦[rp] Prince> just a beast run rampant in your kingdom

[21:45:38] <✦[rp] Prince> i was nothing

[21:45:51] <✦[rp] ceph> i dont have the empathy for this

[21:46:15] <✦[rp] ceph> go smell some flowers or something

[21:46:13] <✦[rp] Prince> goodbye then

[21:46:25] <✦[rp] Prince> i hope youll like it when youre rid of me

[21:46:26] <✦[rp] ceph> u will live

[Prince chuckles. His voice is low and dark.]

[21:46:39] <✦[rp] Prince> i will not

[21:46:43] <✦[rp] Prince> not after this

[21:46:47] <✦[rp] Prince> a tool doesnt think

[21:46:51] <✦[rp] Prince> a tool doesnt live

[21:47:04] <✦[rp] Prince> and a tool definitely doesnt belong to you

[21:47:02] <✦[rp] ceph> get over urself omg

[21:47:11] <✦[rp] ceph> fuck off

[The ground burbles up into sculk. Prince sinks into it. The last thing that is seen as the sculk melts away is a pair of red lights, and then darkness. The pounding stops. The church is silent once again.]

[21:47:13] <✦[rp] ceph> ok

[21:47:55] <✦[rp] ceph> damn........

[21:48:03] <✦[rp] Ollie> yikes.

[Ceph seems to shrink into themself almost immediately.]

[21:48:06] <✦[rp] ceph> fuckin freak ass

[Ollie returns his axe to the Void. He reaches towards Ceph.]

[21:48:09] <✦[rp] Ollie> are you okay

[Ceph turns away.]

[21:48:17] <✦[rp] ceph> im fine.

[Ollie lowers his hand.]

[21:48:27] <✦[rp] Ollie> do you want to go back?

[21:48:36] <✦[rp] Ollie> i understand if you'd rather go to your room to rest

[Ceph pauses for a moment.]

[21:48:34] <✦[rp] ceph> ...yeah

[21:48:52] <✦[rp] ceph> i...im tired

[21:48:55] <✦[rp] Ollie> you seem tense

[They turn back towards Ollie, tugging their cloak further over their shoulders.]

[21:49:09] <✦[rp] ceph> im cold

[21:49:14] <✦[rp] ceph> lets go
