Characters present: Cinder, Prince
Date: 3/28/24
Season: 3

[Cinder treks through the snow on foot in the Malfaction tundra. They only vaguely know where they’re going, but there is a sudden relief when ae realizes ae has found aer target.

Prince stands inside of a structure in the snow. The ground is cracked and exposed, the snow melted around the building to reveal that the frozen ground. He stands unstable in the center of the structure, his body language seeming odd and woozy.]

[06:24:27] <?[rp] cinder> PRINCE

[06:24:31] <?[rp] Prince> waoh

[06:24:33] <?[rp] cinder> You absolute MOTHERFUCKER

[Prince turns around. He sees Cinder stalking towards him through the snow.]

[06:24:43] <?[rp] Prince> who

[06:24:47] <?[rp] Prince> whe

[06:24:47] <?[rp] cinder> What the FUCK did you do to Joco

[06:24:58] <?[rp] Prince> um

[06:25:05] <?[rp] Prince> fuck who was he...? give me a moment

[Prince’s eyes flick between colors behind his shades. He holds his head.]

[06:25:11] <?[rp] Prince> im

[06:25:13] <?[rp] Prince> a bit

[06:25:16] <?[rp] Prince> oh

[06:25:17] <?[rp] Prince> right

[06:25:29] <?[rp] Prince> what about him

[06:25:32] <?[rp] cinder> Right? Right???? Joco, the one you tried to fucking sacrifice?!

[06:25:46] <?[rp] Prince> ...sacrifice? oh

[06:25:50] <?[rp] Prince> that wasnt me

[06:25:52] <?[rp] Prince> well it was

[06:25:56] <?[rp] Prince> but not specifically this me

[06:26:11] <?[rp] Prince> ...im the only me there is right now though

[06:26:24] <?[rp] cinder> You guys are all one in the same when it really matters, right? You always said you were parts of a whole

[06:26:42] <?[rp] Prince> ehhhh kinda

[Cinder clenches aer hands into fists, face contorted up in anger.]

[06:26:39] <?[rp] cinder> I'd like to take it up with whatever parts I can get my hands on

[06:26:43] <?[rp] cinder> How fucking dare you.

[06:27:07] <?[rp] Prince> idk apparently i dared

[06:27:45] <?[rp] cinder> Apparently you did! and like a coward you went for one of the people who always tries to de-escalate conflict and be kind to other people!

[06:28:03] <?[rp] cinder> that's pretty fucking rare! and pretty fucking stupid

[06:28:03] <?[rp] Prince> an easy target is an easy target

[06:28:11] <?[rp] Prince> if youre soft and squishy, you get targeted

[06:28:13] <?[rp] Prince> tis the rule

[06:28:30] <?[rp] Prince> kindness is a strength and a weakness yknow

[06:27:31] <?[rp] Prince> what's ur business here

[06:28:38] <?[rp] cinder> My business is that you went after one of the only people I care about. Maybe its selfish but i dont care about you trying to hurt someone, I care you tried to hurt THEM.

[06:28:58] <?[rp] Prince> big whoop, who cares

[06:29:03] <?[rp] Prince> guy didnt even die right

[06:29:10] <?[rp] Prince> i got bit in my own ass

[06:29:17] <?[rp] Prince> by my own machine

[06:29:20] <?[rp] cinder> Not for your lack of trying!

[06:29:35] <?[rp] cinder> Hows that doing for you, huh? Losing another part fuck you up?

[06:29:39] <?[rp] cinder> I hope it fucking hurt.

[06:29:44] <?[rp] Prince> nor joco or you has a slice of your soul compressed in a star

[06:30:12] <?[rp] Prince> i mean it did hurt, but my pain tolerance is better than everyone here

[06:30:23] <?[rp] cinder> And who's to say you're not gonna go back for a second go?

[06:30:32] <?[rp] Prince> for a second go of what??

[06:30:44] <?[rp] cinder> Trying to hurt them! Or me, or someone else that matters!

[Prince seems devoid of his normal panache. He turns back to his machine.]

[06:31:02] <?[rp] Prince> who cares, im leaving anyway

[06:31:12] <?[rp] cinder> You're... leaving?

[06:31:16] <?[rp] Prince> that's the whole deal why i- we- tried to get joco

[06:31:20] <?[rp] cinder> Where to? What does that even mean?

[06:31:25] <?[rp] Prince> back home

[He stutters.]

[06:31:33] <?[rp] Prince> iddnt...wasnt

[06:31:33] <?[rp] cinder> Home. Which is?

[Prince’s shades swirl suddenly, almost like a loading screen.]

[06:31:58] <?[rp] Prince> werent... you there at a like meeting. with the uhhh scarm guy

[06:32:07] <?[rp] Prince> or were you not there

[06:32:24] <?[rp] cinder> I... Was, yeah. Lots has happened since then. Forgive me for not paying your backstory too much mind

[06:32:31] <?[rp] Prince> eh fair enough

[06:32:36] <?[rp] Prince> i dont know yours as well

[06:32:53] <?[rp] Prince> n e ways leave me alone im gonna go home

[06:33:17] <?[rp] Prince> you wont see me again

[06:33:18] <?[rp] Prince> probably

[06:33:19] <?[rp] cinder> Ha, yeah, no. I'm still fucking pissed, and I'm not gonna let you just refuse to explain any further

[Prince stops messing with the wires on the device. His shoulders tighten, annoyed.]

[06:33:33] <?[rp] Prince> give me a bit then

[06:33:36] <?[rp] Prince> ive got a thing to make

[Prince goes quiet. Cinder wrinkles up their nose, still angry, their arms crossed tight around their chest. Despite aer anger, ae is somewhat curious about whatever Prince is working on. Ae inches closer to Prince, wanting to understand.]

[06:34:11] <?[rp] cinder> A thing to make?

[06:34:16] <?[rp] cinder> What... thing?

[Prince pulls out several items from his chest. He tosses them into a pot of lava in front of him. A chunk of red and purple gemstone, the Redstonemethyst. A small box with a rotating eye on the top of it, the Ender Shulker. Finally, Prince pulls out the final object, a glittering star with an image trapped inside. It seems to physically hurt him to take it out of his chest. The Soul Star.]

[06:34:43] <?[rp] Prince> "Tom"

[06:35:06] <?[rp] cinder> The Wizard mentioned you saying that name

[06:35:10] <?[rp] cinder> Who's Tom?

[The objects hiss as they melt and expel hot gases. Purple symbols lift out of pot, and swim lazily in the air around the smoke.]

[06:36:11] <?[rp] Prince> its an acronym

[06:36:17] <?[rp] cinder> for?

[06:36:21] <?[rp] Prince> Tri-Omni Machine

[06:36:28] <?[rp] cinder> meaning??

[06:36:32] <?[rp] Prince> Omnipotent, omniscient, and omniservant

[Prince turns his head, looking back at Cinder.]

[06:36:48] <?[rp] Prince> do you know what a command block is

[06:37:00] <?[rp] cinder> I... Think I've read about them?

[06:37:08] <?[rp] Prince> what did it say then

[06:37:30] <?[rp] cinder> They had the ability to warp the world around you. To change things, like an Unknown could.

[06:37:43] <?[rp] cinder> That's what it said, at least

[Prince pulls his shovel out of his chest, stabbing it into the cauldron. He begins to stir it vigorously counter-clockwise.]

[06:37:47] <?[rp] Prince> bingo

[06:38:11] <?[rp] Prince> i dont have a need for the reality warping though

[06:38:16] <?[rp] Prince> i just need it to go back home

[06:38:24] <?[rp] cinder> So you're making a command block?

[06:38:28] <?[rp] Prince> yes

[The ingredients begin to melt into an incorporate with the lava, forming a bright orange dough.]

[06:39:04] <?[rp] cinder> Do you expect me to just... Sit by and watch you make something that powerful?

[06:39:09] <?[rp] Prince> yeah?

[06:39:24] <?[rp] Prince> either that or die by my blade so you dont bother me

[06:40:25] <?[rp] cinder> I'm not going to just... Roll over and take you threatening me. I'm weak but Im not useless

[06:39:22] <?[rp] cinder> How do i know you're only going to use it to leave?

[Prince folds the dough in the pot with his shovel, being careful not to burn himself. It’s still bright and hot.]

[06:40:56] <?[rp] Prince> to me, that's the same thing amigo

[06:40:58] <?[rp] cinder> Stop talking in vague statements and non sequiturs. TELL ME whats going on. Explain what you're doing!

[06:41:11] <?[rp] Prince> why would i tell you

[Princ leans forward and sniffs the dough.]

[06:41:22] <?[rp] Prince> btw do u have any sugar

[06:41:32] <?[rp] Prince> this might need some sugar

[06:41:55] <?[rp] cinder> No, i don't have any sugar. I have... cookies? Those have sugar in them?

[06:42:03] <?[rp] Prince> ehh keep them

[06:42:04] <?[rp] Prince> its fine

[Prince pats the dough. It looks smooth.]

[06:42:43] <?[rp] Prince> gonna need to let this proof for a bit

[Prince covers the pot with a carpet.]

[06:42:18] <?[rp] cinder> Wait why am I offering to help you. Fuck you! You'll tell me cause I'm telling you to.

[06:42:43] <?[rp] cinder> And because you're... probably incapable of not monologuing when given the chance

[06:43:06] <?[rp] Prince> okay fine jeez

[06:43:14] <?[rp] Prince> i was baking something

[06:43:24] <?[rp] cinder> Looked like a pretty weird cake

[06:43:40] <?[rp] Prince> its more like a bread actually

[06:43:49] <?[rp] Prince> gonna need to give it wires soon

[06:44:00] <?[rp] cinder> Wires?

[06:44:09] <?[rp] cinder> Is that... The command block?

[06:44:27] <?[rp] Prince> not yet

[06:44:30] <?[rp] Prince> needs to proof first

[Cinder crowds in towards the dough.]

[06:43:28] <?[rp] Prince> mf wait until im done with something before i can talk freely

[06:43:51] <?[rp] cinder> You dont deserve patience

[06:44:14] <?[rp] Prince> sure, but if you wanted me to be in full mental capacity to talk to you while im doing something, its best you wait

[06:44:16] <?[rp] Prince> its polite

[06:44:36] <?[rp] cinder> Politeness went out the window when you tried to hurt Joco

[06:44:44] <?[rp] cinder> Or... Not you, exactly, but you enough.

[06:44:56] <?[rp] Prince> well the me that hurt your poor joco is in the dough now

[06:44:58] <?[rp] Prince> happy

[06:45:05] <?[rp] cinder> Im sorry?

[06:45:09] <?[rp] cinder> In the dough?

[06:45:12] <?[rp] Prince> yeah?

[06:45:17] <?[rp] Prince> did he not explain it to you

[Prince’s voice is bitter and cold.]

[06:45:31] <?[rp] Prince> the part where a chunk of me was trapped in a nether star instead of him?

[06:45:42] <?[rp] cinder> Listen I was pretty caught up in the 'someone tried to kill my brother' thing

[06:45:48] <?[rp] Prince> HE'S YOUR BROTHER?

[Cinder stops.]

[06:45:58] <?[rp] cinder> No! Not technically.

[06:45:48] <?[rp] cinder> Not. Brother. forget I said that.

[Prince’s voice jerks up several octaves.]

[06:46:00] <?[rp] Prince> OH IM SO TELLING HIM THAT

[06:46:02] <?[rp] cinder> I just- um.

[06:46:06] <?[rp] cinder> NO YOU ARE NOT

[06:46:12] <?[rp] Prince> ooooooooh, you called him your brother~~~

[06:46:18] <?[rp] Prince> that's so embarrassing

[06:46:25] <?[rp] Prince> its like calling your teacher "mom"

[06:46:31] <?[rp] Prince> this is so funny

[06:46:45] <?[rp] Prince> omg this is so embarrassing to you

[Cinder draws his sword, lifting it up above the command block dough.]

[06:46:40] <?[rp] cinder> I WILL FUCK UP YOUR WEIRD COMMAND BLOCK IF YOU KEEP DOING THIS

[06:47:02] <?[rp] Prince> the command block is practically indestructible, your shitty sword cant damage it

[06:47:13] <?[rp] Prince> or any other instrument of destruction you have

[06:47:09] <?[rp] cinder> Oh yeah? You had to put part of your soul into that bread dough! How embarrassing is THAT?

[06:47:20] <?[rp] Prince> its not the most embarrassing

[06:47:23] <?[rp] Prince> it is kinda

[06:47:25] <?[rp] Prince> but yknow

[06:47:33] <?[rp] Prince> im not that bummed

[06:47:38] <?[rp] cinder> You couldn't even kill someone you described as weak. You got got instead. Isn't that pathetic?

[06:47:46] <?[rp] Prince> someone had to be sacrificed, might as well be me

[He mumbles under his breath: ]

[06:48:11] <?[rp] Prince> it’s all I’m good for

[Cinder doesn’t seem to hear what Prince mumbles under his breath, or maybe just doesn’t care to acknowledge it.]

[06:47:58] <?[rp] cinder> Hate to say I agree with you on something, but

[06:49:08] <?[rp] cinder> So you were gonna take away Joco forever, just to get yourself home, when you could have done it to yourself to begin with?

[06:49:13] <?[rp] cinder> Asshole move, dude.

[06:49:36] <?[rp] Prince> motherfucker i just sacrificed a chunk of my soul, why would i do it to myself on PURPOSE?

[06:49:57] <?[rp] Prince> i get youre angry but work with me here

[06:50:01] <?[rp] cinder> You certainly seemed willing to do something that drastic when you sacrificed yourself to the sculk!

[06:50:11] <?[rp] Prince> would you even be this mad if i took some other bastard's soul?

[06:50:20] <?[rp] Prince> like ummmmm... idk. that ollie guy

[06:50:22] <?[rp] Prince> or the doc guy

[06:50:24] <?[rp] cinder> I-

[06:50:33] <?[rp] cinder> No. Probably not.

[06:50:42] <?[rp] Prince> check and mate, youre an asshole as well

[06:50:49] <?[rp] Prince> nice to be in same company, no?

[06:50:51] <?[rp] cinder> But I don't really care. Maybe that makes me a terrible person but its not like thats new information

[06:51:06] <?[rp] cinder> I'm better than you if nothing else

[06:51:23] <?[rp] Prince> everyone's better than me, that's the whole point

[06:51:01] <?[rp] Prince> anyways you want like a bite to eat? the proofing is gonna take a while

[06:51:06] <?[rp] Prince> ive got some chicken at the mansion

[Cinder sighs.]

[06:51:19] <?[rp] cinder> Ugh, why not I guess.

[06:51:28] <?[rp] Prince> follow me then

[06:51:32] <?[rp] cinder> Better than being out here in the snow. This place is a nightmare

[Prince begins walking in a direct line towards his mansion. Cinder follows behind him at a short distance.]

[06:52:07] <?[rp] Prince> good ur following

[The mansion rises in the distance, looking more like a temple these days than a home. Darkness spreads around the land like a fog. The moans of Wardens hum in the distance.]

[06:52:17] <?[rp] cinder> I forgot how freakish your place was. how do you stand that noise?

[06:52:29] <?[rp] Prince> its song is awesome

[Prince leads them inside, pointing over at a chair for Cinder to sit in.]

[06:52:59] <?[rp] Prince> go sit at the table

[06:53:05] <?[rp] Prince> ill find some tea or something

[06:53:10] <?[rp] cinder> What if I dont want to

[Prince ignores Cinder.]

[06:53:12] <?[rp] Prince> actually not the dining place

[He walks them into a cozy living room, with a window facing out into the tundra.]

[06:53:28] <?[rp] Prince> this place is better for a casual talk

[06:53:35] <?[rp] Prince> sit here and watch the snow

[06:53:50] <?[rp] cinder> Well now I want to sit in the dining room instead. fuck you.

[He walks to the entryway.]

[06:53:39] <?[rp] Prince> ill bring something out

[Cinder looks out the window. Under their breath, they mutter: ]

[06:54:10] <?[rp] cinder> the snow is kind of pretty, though.

[Cinder tries to think of the most disrespectful way to sit on someone’s couch while Prince is gone. They decide on perching on the back of the couch, while putting their feel directly on the couch cushions without taking their armored boots off.]

[06:55:42] <?[rp] Prince> back

[06:55:45] <?[rp] Prince> okay so

[06:55:48] <?[rp] Prince> ah fuck

[06:55:50] <?[rp] Prince> forgot the drinks

[06:55:56] <?[rp] Prince> youre not thirsty are you

[06:56:07] <?[rp] cinder> I dont think I'd trust it wasnt poisoned

[06:56:15] <?[rp] cinder> Youre a bit of a freak like that

[06:56:20] <?[rp] Prince> i dont use poison

[06:56:25] <?[rp] Prince> hard to find

[06:56:31] <?[rp] Prince> and i dont wanna bother with subtlety

[06:56:42] <?[rp] cinder> Well i believe that at least.

[06:56:31] <?[rp] cinder> sculked, then. Full of spores or something

[06:56:45] <?[rp] Prince> well yeah but that's because this house is just dusty

[06:56:51] <?[rp] Prince> n e ways

[06:56:55] <?[rp] Prince> didnt find chicken

[06:56:59] <?[rp] Prince> here's some porkchops

[Prince hands Cinder a plate of food. Cinder holds it in their hands, but distinctly does not eat it. Prince nibbles on a corner of his porkchop.]

[06:57:33] <?[rp] Prince> what were we talking about

[06:57:37] <?[rp] cinder> So. You're just... Leaving. Fucking off

[06:57:41] <?[rp] Prince> yeah

[06:57:45] <?[rp] cinder> Not that I'm not happy about it, but why now?

[06:57:45] <?[rp] Prince> no one likes me here

[06:58:04] <?[rp] Prince> no master to serve i suppose

[06:58:18] <?[rp] cinder> You dont get to say that like you deserve self pity. Nuh-uh. No one likes you cause of how many people you hurt or tried to hurt! Thats your own fault!

[06:58:18] <?[rp] Prince> youll still have scarm though

[06:58:21] <?[rp] Prince> probably

[06:58:29] <?[rp] Prince> idk what happens to him if i leave

[Cinder rolls their eyes, voice thick with sarcasm.]

[06:58:29] <?[rp] cinder> Oh, joy.

[06:58:47] <?[rp] Prince> most people like him better than me anyways

[06:58:51] <?[rp] cinder> Didnt you have a 'master'?

[06:59:01] <?[rp] cinder> I swear you said something about it. One of the other malfaction people

[06:59:04] <?[rp] Prince> i did

[06:59:21] <?[rp] Prince> apparently they didnt appreciate my service much

[06:59:35] <?[rp] cinder> can't imagine why!

[06:59:42] <?[rp] cinder> What'd you do to piss them off, hmm>

[06:59:53] <?[rp] Prince> fuck if i know

[07:04:23] <?[rp] cinder> So if you were always just gonna leave, why did you bother with... any of what you did?

[07:04:38] <?[rp] cinder> The sculk, especially?

[07:04:35] <?[rp] Prince> it wasnt an always thing

[07:04:56] <?[rp] Prince> listen. uh

[07:04:58] <?[rp] Prince> what's ur name

[07:05:06] <?[rp] cinder> You dont know my name??!

[07:05:14] <?[rp] cinder> We've met! Multiple times!!

[07:05:17] <?[rp] Prince> look man i dont think we've interacted fully

[07:05:24] <?[rp] Prince> or been introduced to each other

[07:05:29] <?[rp] cinder> We have talked! We shot off fireworks together!

[07:05:40] <?[rp] cinder> I talked to you at that fucking corroded event that YOU attacked!

[Prince laughs. His shades glow purple. Before he speaks, there’s suddenly the faint sound of a laugh, and something like the clicking of pieces of plastic being pressed down over and over again, like Code being written by some outside force.]

[07:05:51] <?[rp] Prince> and if, in this very rp, ive said your name, then that's non canon <3

[07:06:03] <?[rp] cinder> What the fuck are you even saying

[07:06:10] <?[rp] cinder> It's Cinder. My name.

[07:06:16] <?[rp] Prince> ohhhhhh cinder

[07:06:17] <?[rp] Prince> okay

[07:06:21] <?[rp] cinder> Since you apparently didnt fucking care to remember it.

[07:06:27] <?[rp] Prince> yeah i didnt lol

[07:06:34] <?[rp] Prince> you werent relevant to my life up until now

[07:06:39] <?[rp] Prince> n e ways

[Cinder huffs under their breath to themself.]

[07:07:02] <?[rp] cinder> its not worth it, its not worth it, youve killed enouigh people dont kill another one.

[07:07:00] <?[rp] Prince> cinder

[07:07:12] <?[rp] cinder> Yeah. What.

[07:07:17] <?[rp] Prince> cringe. there's always more people to kill

[07:07:21] <?[rp] Prince> i can hear u mutter btw

[07:07:26] <?[rp] Prince> this whole house is basically my ear

[07:07:42] <?[rp] Prince> anyways

[07:07:46] <?[rp] cinder> You;re a freak.

[07:07:54] <?[rp] Prince> cinder my good friend that i always knew your name

[07:08:19] <?[rp] Prince> take one look at me and describe my capabilities

[07:08:27] <?[rp] Prince> hwat do you think im good at doing

[07:08:49] <?[rp] cinder> Uh

[07:09:01] <?[rp] cinder> Being annoying? Trying to kill my friends?

[07:09:09] <?[rp] cinder> Making freaky science experiments probably?

[07:09:21] <?[rp] cinder> You're kinda asking the wrong person here

[07:09:45] <?[rp] Prince> right. does any of that sound productive

[07:10:09] <?[rp] cinder> Depends on your definition, I guess

[07:10:15] <?[rp] cinder> Why?

[07:10:27] <?[rp] Prince> eugh okay youre denser than i thought for the monologue i had

[07:10:35] <?[rp] cinder> hey! fuck you!

[07:10:39] <?[rp] Prince> you wish

[07:10:44] <?[rp] Prince> i dont even have genitals anymore

[Cinder recoils.]

[07:10:51] <?[rp] cinder> Ew. I really do not, nor did I want to know that

[Cinder protests. In their indignation, their retort suddenly seems to reveal how much of a child they still actually are.]

[07:10:57] <?[rp] cinder> I;m not dense. Give me the monologue

[07:11:05] <?[rp] cinder> I'll understand it!

[07:11:07] <?[rp] Prince> no youre stupid. im gonna simplify

[07:11:57] <?[rp] Prince> when you get a diamond pickaxe, and you dont wanna break it as fast, how do you make it better?

[07:12:09] <?[rp] cinder> Mending enchantments

[07:12:12] <?[rp] cinder> Or netherite

[07:12:16] <?[rp] Prince> bingo

[07:12:23] <?[rp] Prince> that's the whole sculk business

[07:12:31] <?[rp] Prince> except that i was maybe an iron pickaxe

[07:12:36] <?[rp] Prince> in this analogy

[07:12:39] <?[rp] cinder> You wanted to... Make yourself unbreakable?

[07:12:43] <?[rp] Prince> bingo

[07:13:00] <?[rp] cinder> Why did you think you were going to break?

[07:13:09] <?[rp] Prince> what's better than a tool that doesnt break? that can hear your enemies from a different kingdom? that can summon his own army from sculk?

[07:13:28] <?[rp] Prince> cinder. i was made to break

[07:13:35] <?[rp] cinder> I mean, sure, but- you're not a tool. you're a person

[Prince opens his mouth. An extremely loud incorrect buzzer sound effect comes out.]

[07:13:55] <?[rp] cinder> Hey!

[07:13:57] <?[rp] Prince> guess again fuck nuts, im not alive

[07:14:00] <?[rp] Prince> im barely a person

[07:14:03] <?[rp] Prince> im a tool

[07:14:10] <?[rp] cinder> Well you're here talking to me, that's pretty alive to me!

[07:14:18] <?[rp] cinder> What stops you from being a person, huh?

[07:14:53] <?[rp] Prince> even a sword can speak if you swing it hard enough

[07:15:23] <?[rp] cinder> Okay, but if the sword has its own thoughts and volition then im pretty sure its more than just a sword

[07:15:25] <?[rp] Prince> im not a person. im built like that

[07:15:55] <?[rp] Prince> or! the sword is just really good at its job that it can function without it being held

[07:15:53] <?[rp] cinder> Just cause you were built doesnt stop you from being a person. I've met robots that were their own person. Enough of it, at least

[07:16:25] <?[rp] Prince> oh ur poor stupid feathered brain

[07:16:34] <?[rp] Prince> im no robot nor a person, ive said it before, im a tool

[07:16:39] <?[rp] cinder> You clearly... Want things, though. You WANTED to join with the sculk. You WANT to go home.

[07:16:52] <?[rp] cinder> When you start wanting things dont you stop just being a tool?

[07:16:55] <?[rp] Prince> i wanted to be a better tool

[07:17:02] <?[rp] Prince> i wanted to be a better servant

[07:17:08] <?[rp] Prince> i wanted to be useful

[07:17:05] <?[rp] cinder> that's still a want

[07:17:48] <?[rp] cinder> So is that why you're going home? So you can be a tool again?

[07:17:53] <?[rp] Prince> yeah

[07:17:59] <?[rp] cinder> That's fucking stupid

[07:18:10] <?[rp] Prince> would you rather i stay here then?

[07:18:22] <?[rp] Prince> be honest, youll be happy when im gone

[07:18:40] <?[rp] Prince> you came here to yell at me for trying to shove joco in a nether star

[07:19:07] <?[rp] cinder> Well- no! I want you gone if thats what itll take for you to leave everyone I care about alone! But that doesnt mean you arent stupid for wanting to- to keep treating yourself like you arent real!

[07:19:23] <?[rp] Prince> cinder you really dont understand

[07:19:28] <?[rp] Prince> i was made to be a tool

[07:19:33] <?[rp] Prince> my brain cant handle personhood

[07:19:43] <?[rp] Prince> you give me freedom and ill find myself another hand to hold me

[07:19:52] <?[rp] Prince> you give me life and ill wish to die

[07:20:01] <?[rp] Prince> you give me chains and im happy

[07:20:17] <?[rp] Prince> im not a person. i never was

[07:20:09] <?[rp] cinder> Well maybe you shouldn't always get what you want

[07:20:28] <?[rp] cinder> Maybe youre better off without the things you think will help you. or the things you think you need

[07:20:41] <?[rp] Prince> really funny way to argue against my own brain chemistry

[07:20:49] <?[rp] Prince> "just be happy lol"

[07:20:53] <?[rp] Prince> thats what ur saying to me rn

[07:21:08] <?[rp] Prince> cinder im in constant misery if i dont have someone to serve

[07:21:12] <?[rp] Prince> im wired for that

[07:21:15] <?[rp] cinder> No, what im saying is maybe you should suffer and live with it, rather than taking the easy way out!

[07:21:23] <?[rp] Prince> i was literally built different

[07:22:24] <?[rp] cinder> So does it... make you happy?

[07:22:29] <?[rp] Prince> which part

[07:22:31] <?[rp] cinder> to be a tool?

[07:22:36] <?[rp] Prince> oh obviously

[07:22:47] <?[rp] Prince> my guy i was not exaggerating when i say im built different

[07:23:03] <?[rp] Prince> my brain chemistry is literally wired for servitude

[07:23:28] <?[rp] Prince> its the only way i can be happy

[07:23:28] <?[rp] cinder> And you think you deserve that happiness?

[07:23:56] <?[rp] Prince> idk if i deserve it, but it makes me not want to commit suicide every day, so

[07:24:03] <?[rp] Prince> its probably bettr

[07:24:27] <?[rp] cinder> I... i guess it is.

[07:24:43] <?[rp] Prince> even then

[07:24:47] <?[rp] Prince> im sure ill break eventually

[07:24:50] <?[rp] Prince> i always do

[07:24:57] <?[rp] Prince> so dont worry about me living long

[07:25:07] <?[rp] Prince> i always die eventually

[07:25:21] <?[rp] cinder> And you come back?

[07:25:30] <?[rp] cinder> You say it like you come back

[07:25:27] <?[rp] Prince> at some point, i wont

[07:25:37] <?[rp] Prince> and thats by design

[07:25:48] <?[rp] cinder> seems like pretty poor design

[07:26:01] <?[rp] Prince> have you ever heard of planned obsolescence?

[07:26:14] <?[rp] cinder> Don't think i have

[07:26:45] <?[rp] Prince> its the concept of planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life

[07:27:03] <?[rp] cinder> Whats the point of that?

[07:27:07] <?[rp] Prince> money

[07:27:17] <?[rp] Prince> if your shit breaks often, you need to buy more of it

[07:27:22] <?[rp] cinder> Okay, but in your case?

[07:27:43] <?[rp] Prince> wow not connecting huh?

[07:27:49] <?[rp] Prince> im a product dicknuts

[07:27:55] <?[rp] Prince> i was literally built to serve

[07:28:27] <?[rp] cinder> But you're alive! How is it beneficial to just- destroy you and get a new one?

[07:28:28] <?[rp] Prince> i get put in weapon's testing to get blown up

[07:28:42] <?[rp] Prince> cheaper than keeping me alive

[07:28:54] <?[rp] cinder> Void's sake

[07:29:13] <?[rp] cinder> That's fucked

[07:29:22] <?[rp] Prince> pfft tell me about it bud

[07:29:28] <?[rp] cinder> Do you know that? You dont seem that bothered

[07:29:44] <?[rp] Prince> im always aware of it, thats why i wanted to be unbreakable

[07:30:01] <?[rp] Prince> but with the company im seeking, ill break eventually, im sure

[07:30:34] <?[rp] cinder> And? what are you seeking?

[07:30:43] <?[rp] Prince> my masters back home

[07:31:10] <?[rp] cinder> If they're going to do that to you, why not find another one?

[07:31:17] <?[rp] Prince> i tried remember?

[07:31:20] <?[rp] Prince> no one likes me here

[07:31:32] <?[rp] cinder> Why go home at all? Why not leave to another server, get a fucking- job or something?

[07:31:39] <?[rp] cinder> Why go back to something that hurt you so bad?

[07:31:46] <?[rp] Prince> it doesnt hurt

[07:31:54] <?[rp] Prince> i already told you my pain tolerance is high

[07:32:00] <?[rp] cinder> Not that kind of hurt

[07:32:08] <?[rp] Prince> what kind then?

[07:32:22] <?[rp] cinder> Your... Mind, I guess? Feelings?

[07:32:36] <?[rp] cinder> You can say you dont have them but i dont believe thats true. You seem upset that no one here likes you.

[Prince chuckles lightly.]

[07:32:51] <?[rp] Prince> back home, i wont even have to think or feel

[07:32:55] <?[rp] Prince> bliss

[07:33:08] <?[rp] cinder> And you know what, I liked you! I thought you were cool!

[07:33:15] <?[rp] Prince> aww shucks

[07:34:08] <?[rp] Prince> i only cared if ceph liked me, not anyone else

[07:34:15] <?[rp] Prince> of course, ceph doesnt like me as well

[07:34:43] <?[rp] Prince> and by 'liked' i mean 'would control me'

[07:33:17] <?[rp] cinder> Maybe we'd like you if you werent making yourself hard to like!

[07:34:36] <?[rp] cinder> And yet you keep saying it. That no one here likes you

[07:34:55] <?[rp] Prince> is it not true?

[07:35:10] <?[rp] cinder> Its true, but it doesnt have to be an unchanging fact.

[07:35:30] <?[rp] cinder> I think its your own fault its true

[07:35:46] <?[rp] Prince> tell me cinder, does anyone want to be my keeper? want to make me come at their beck and call?

[07:36:13] <?[rp] Prince> i dont care for affections, i care if they erase my autonomy

[07:36:23] <?[rp] Prince> doc is the closest person i know that would do that, and he's already got scarm

[07:36:52] <?[rp] Prince> do you want to do that? erase my mind and thoughts? make me a walking sword?

[07:37:09] <?[rp] cinder> Is that how you justified everything you've done to hurt people? It being someone else's will?

[07:38:28] <?[rp] Prince> im not a person for me to be responsible

[07:38:51] <?[rp] cinder> Yeah. Awfully convenient

[07:39:17] <?[rp] Prince> you say this as if i wasnt literally made in a factory for that very reason

[07:39:34] <?[rp] Prince> do you blame the knife or the person for stabbing you?

[07:39:53] <?[rp] cinder> Even if something else prompts you to act, you still act!

[07:40:12] <?[rp] cinder> The blood is on your hands either way!

[07:40:27] <?[rp] Prince> i know

[07:40:27] <?[rp] cinder> I just- I don't understand.

[07:40:27] <?[rp] Prince> and im okay with that

[07:40:30] <?[rp] Prince> it doesnt like, bother me

[07:40:45] <?[rp] Prince> i can kill whole worlds without guilt my man

[Cinder’s wings flare up behind them.]

[07:40:48] <?[rp] Prince> master or no master

[07:41:08] <?[rp] Prince> im not a person

[Cinder is silent for a very long moment.]

[07:41:40] <?[rp] cinder> You make me sick.

[Heavy with sarcasm.]

[07:41:51] <?[rp] Prince> tell me something i dont know

[07:42:23] <?[rp] cinder> I dont think I'm ever gonna understand anything you go on about. And that's not my problem, so that's fine. But what you just said? That makes me want you to suffer

[07:42:31] <?[rp] cinder> So you know what, I hope you get home!

[07:42:39] <?[rp] Prince> thanks man

[07:42:48] <?[rp] cinder> I hope you get home, and I hope you get to be the tool you want to be

[07:42:50] <?[rp] Prince> i wont suffer back home, but thanks for the vote of confidence i guess

[07:43:01] <?[rp] cinder> And I hope they make it hurt when you break for good.

[07:43:29] <?[rp] cinder> At least youll be doing it far away from what actually matters.

[07:43:45] <?[rp] Prince> okay? thats what i want

[07:43:57] <?[rp] Prince> idk why ur saying it as if its like, a dig

[07:44:20] <?[rp] cinder> I would die for a chance to set things right. I would carve my own insides out if it meant i could save the people I ruined. I dont know why I thought you and I would ever have anything in common when you could never understand that

[07:44:52] <?[rp] Prince> pfft

[07:45:12] <?[rp] cinder> I dont care what you do next. With the rest of your time here. Just stay away from Joco. Stay away from Corroded in general. I doubt I can kill you but I can try my hardest.

[07:45:25] <?[rp] Prince> uhuh

[07:45:42] <?[rp] Prince> okay dude

[07:45:49] <?[rp] Prince> go deal with ur guilt complex or whatever

[07:45:56] <?[rp] Prince> get therapy

[07:46:11] <?[rp] Prince> i get company therapy at home

[07:46:21] <?[rp] Prince> well its more a counsellor that comes in

[07:46:35] <?[rp] cinder> I'd say the same to you but I think processing consequences and responsibilities for your actions would literally shut down your brain

[07:46:36] <?[rp] Prince> actually i dont know if get access to that actually...

[07:46:41] <?[rp] Prince> no no

[07:46:45] <?[rp] Prince> i recognize all of that

[07:46:48] <?[rp] Prince> i just dont care

[07:46:58] <?[rp] Prince> not my circus, not my monkeys

[07:47:04] <?[rp] Prince> im a tool, not a person

[07:47:53] <?[rp] cinder> Yeah, sure. You know, congratulations. You're actually starting to convince me of that

[07:48:01] <?[rp] Prince> dope

[07:48:19] <?[rp] cinder> I'm going home. Good luck with all that. And fuck you for what you've done to us.

[07:48:24] <?[rp] Prince> okay cool

[07:48:25] <?[rp] Prince> oh!

[07:48:26] <?[rp] Prince> btw

[07:48:32] <?[rp] Prince> can ur gay ass carry a message

[07:48:51] <?[rp] cinder> If you speak to me like that again the answer will be no

[07:49:00] <?[rp] Prince> so can you

[07:49:04] <?[rp] cinder> who to?

[07:49:09] <?[rp] Prince> the wizard

[07:49:17] <?[rp] Prince> just tell him im leaving

[07:49:26] <?[rp] Prince> and that he can say goodbye if he wants

[07:49:32] <?[rp] Prince> ill be at the mansion if he wants to

[07:49:33] <?[rp] cinder> I make no promises

[07:49:37] <?[rp] Prince> dope

[07:49:50] <?[rp] cinder> ... but I will see him quite soon. So maybe ill get the chance.

[07:49:54] <?[rp] Prince> nice

[07:50:01] <?[rp] Prince> go do that then

[Cinder sighs heavily.]

[07:50:15] <?[rp] cinder> goodbye, Prince.

[07:50:25] <?[rp] Prince> bye simpder

[07:50:43] <?[rp] cinder> Okay just for that im breaking my way out through the wall. fuck you.

[07:51:35] <?[rp] Prince> any brains behind those eyes?

[07:51:45] <?[rp] Prince> or is it just feathers and guilt?

[07:52:00] <?[rp] cinder> I hope you fall off a very tall ledge and dont die just suffer for a long time at the bottom

[07:52:15] <?[rp] Prince> oh dw i do that often to feel something

[07:52:22] <?[rp] Prince> bye

[Cinder breaks through the wall and leaves. Prince stands. A gust of cold wind blows in through the open wall.]

[07:52:42] <?[rp] Prince> now that ae's gone, time to bake a command block...
