A flame adrift the hunting sea

I’ve been walking for a few minutes now. . .

Eyes low. Focused on the ground.


Skate [Horrible: Success] — Wire after wire, hole after hole. You keep staring down. The hunch stays strong with you. The earth is marked by scars, long healed but never forgotten. Metal tubes. Crushed machines. Empty shells. And then—something else. Something that catches your attention 

Glass.


War — Really? Of all things, you're stopping for glass? The battles are over. The sky’s gone. The glass has been shattered long ago. And you’re here, gawking at the floor like some lost pigeon? Just keep moving, while also looking-


Skate — No. Wait. Look at it. *Really* look at it. Among all this metal, all this wreckage—that's what shines. Broken. Curved. But still reflecting. And inside it… a shape. A green block, waving in the air. Like it’s saying hi. 

It's. . . Beautiful. Glass is fragile by nature, yet it doesn't lose it's basic function after being broken. No matter how broken, there will still be a reflection to greet back. While it is not natural, it was *made* with purpose. There's something profound in that. 


→ 1. - [Wave back]

2. - Well hello, Ms. Glass. It is *glass* to see you!

3. - Let me look closer [Pick it up]


War [Standart: Success] —


 → 4. (?) - I’m not going to break the glass.


War [Standard: Success] — . . . That’s not what I was going to say. We need distance. Perspective. Look up. Stop wasting time on your *hunches*
. . .
...You know what? Forget it. I’m done convincing you.


Skate [Amazing: Failure] — No, wait-


→ 1. Look up [War: Great 18]

2. Look up [War: Great 18]

3. Look up [War: Great 18]


+1 Moonwalker Cheese


+2 My Reflection!


-1 Don’t Want To


-2 Skate is protective


-5 Passed Storm


-7 Something Horrible...


...CHECK: FAILURE!


I look up to see—


—1 DAMAGED MIND.


My legs give out.

The ground flies up to meet me.


War [Great: Failure] — White light scorches your eye. It swallows half the horizon—a monolith rooted to the ground, but alive, and watching you. It knows you. It sees you. You try to turn away, but it’s too late. You’ve seen it. And now—you can’t *unsee* it.

You look up. And up. And up. And up.

And it doesn’t stop growing. It keeps stretching. Up. Up. Up. But somehow — it’s still shrinking in the sky. It’s trapped there. Chained by the black itself. 
It was build and expanded by a collective goal, with the purpose unknown. Build in a prison to small to contain it's greatness

And you know. You know it could break free. It could rip out the sky’s throat and collapse onto you in any-


Skate [Great: Success] — ENOUGH. Stop. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. . .

Stand up. Brush the dust off.

Close your eyes. Forget the light. Forget the shape. Forget the weight. Focus on the small things: The flickering red lights. The glass, still holding your reflection. The factories. Yes, let’s go there first. Let’s explore that.



The barrens

There’s a town here.


War [Standard: Success] — A village with no residents. A place left for the air to consume. For time to forget. Born from rebellion. Rebellion against something we don’t yet understand. 


Skate [Good: Success] — In every window, in every brick, in every plank of wood— There’s a sorrow. A sorrow hidden by forces unknown. It doesn't*want* to show . . .It’s awfully quiet here.

Let’s explore further.


Minutes pass. Buildings pass. Until...


A PERSON — They step out from one of the buildings. Our eyes meet. "Oh!. . . - They startle, clutching their belongings closer - Hello?"


Skate [Horrible: Failure] — Their face shows... contempt? Body language stays open, but cautious. Cautious of *you* .You’d need to get closer to read them properly, but some things *are* clear:


A straw hat, topped with a pretty replica of a flower.

Village-worn clothes. Right shoulder covered in cloth.

Hands, rough and beaten down, then strengthened by effort.

Self-made sandals from straw.


War [Great: Success] — Fragile flesh. If it thinks to attack, you can crush it—burn it—effortlessly. Their heart beats with a steady pace, let's see it up close-


Skate [Horrible: Success] — Let’s not. . . think like that about someone we just met. Get closer, in a friendly way


→ 1. - ... People. [Explore]


2. - "Hello, sir!" [Continue]


3. - "Hi. . ." [Continue]


War [Bad: Success] — "...People" is right. This blank doesn’t see its own flaws. Pathetic. Stagnant. A relic past its glory days. 


Skate — You’re not good with people. That’s okay. Let this be a chance to practice.

1. - ... People. [Explore]


2. - "Hello, sir!" [Continue]


→ 3. - "Hi. . ." [Continue]

A PERSON — "Well, hello there!" They exhale, relieved. "A new face is rare around here-especially a friendly one. Mind coming closer? I won’t bite."


I step closer


A PERSON — "You know, lucky you caught me! We were about to leave in a minute."


Skate [Good: Success] — Leave? Where to? A whole village on the move. They can’t mean the sea—it’s a miracle *you* crossed it alive. How would an entire village survive that?

You should warn them. Or at least offer something.


1. - Stop them from leaving [War: Horrible 18]


2. - "Where are you headed?"


→ 3. - ". . . Any tips on life here?"


A PERSON — They ponder, glancing up at the black sky.

"Let’s see... Pick what you need. Don’t wander too much—this place can disorient you fast. Combine things. Make more use of what you find that way. Always move on. Move toward something new, otherwise. . ."


They pause. Discarding the thought and continuing 


"And most importantly...

Don’t go wandering in the patterned green."


They smile, faintly. While their eyes don't follow


"It’s a maize out there!"


A PERSON — They turn and wave. "Been nice meeting you, stranger! See you again "


They start to walk away, then hesitate.


Skate [Horrible: Success]

Simple words, caught in the heavy air.

They’re not sure they’ll ever see you again, so they try to say something else. . .


War — Fair enough. We'll be out of here anyways.


A PERSON — They reformulate their last words, saying ". . .Bye." As they walk away again.


Skate [Bad: Success] — You can't ignore the thought pushing against your mind anymore. Should you leave as well?


War [Horrible: Success] — Hell no! We barely got here, you do *not* want to meet the ocean again.

I really like Twin Runes, got caught up with it finally and wanted to make a theme for Chara, kind of a recreation of what I was hearing every time they spoke.
