~~~ Quinn smirked, his eyes glazing over the figure standing beside him. His cold smile widened as a low chuckle left his lips. "I was right all along, wasn't I? I knew, as soon as Moon died in her arms, that she was going to lose control. Completely." Jade snickered, her tail wrapping around Quinn's leg. "Of course you were right. That stupid freak was always an outcast, anyway. Even when I first met her, I didn't think much of her. Just a stupid princess of Heaven." She mocked, grinning coldly. Quinn's eyes flickered up and down the glitch demon's figure, a look of approval in his eyes. "Yeah, she's useless to me. Unlike you, of course." He added, smiling sinisterly. Jade's eyes lit up with dark amusement as her own smirk formed. "I take no offense to you, anyway. You mean quite a *lot* to me, my future king." Her tail moved, wrapping tightly around Quinn's own. The devious angel smiled widely at her, as a quiet laugh left his lips as he gazed at the glitch demon. His cold, signature smirk appeared once again as he spoke. "She's an enemy to everybody now. Even herself!" ~~~ Meanwhile... ~~~ Nexus sighed quietly, gazing at Mercury. When they had left the lounge room, the two of them had teleported to their own place. The other fellow gay had their head in his hands, still thinking about what had happened. When the situation had played out, it wasn't too early - or too late - in the morning. Now it wasn't too far away from dusk. "I can't bring myself to hate her. Even after what she did to Eclipse. I hate how she was being, but I don't really blame her for lashing out. Eclipse taunted her, in a way." Nexus said finally, bringing himself to speak his true thoughts and emotions to his partner. He'd never lie to them, not ever. Mercury looked up, their rays twitching as he remained silent for a moment. "Honestly, I do agree with you. And I doubt she can really bring herself to hate the two of us, either." He replied, tugging at his own nightcap, fidgeting. The emo animatronic walked over to them, crashing down on the bed beside him. His eyes fell shut. "You, me, and possibly Vi- I think we're the only ones that she can't really shut out completely. I doubt she'll push us three away. Unless I'm horribly mistaken." Nexus muttered, taking off his goggles - the ones that were an exact copy of Solar's own - and fidgeting with them. It was a common habit. "Nah, you're not wrong there. Honestly, I'd be surprised if she was to shut the two of us out. And with the dynamic of her and Vi... I sincerely doubt it." Merc mused, leaning his head on their silly bf's shoulder. Nexus arched into his touch and sighed. "..I wish this never happened in the first place..." ~~~~ In the Celestial house.. ~~~~ "Why on earth did you rip that photo? You know it doesn't just upset Rue, right?" Foodie murmured quietly, her eyes focused on the torn photograph. Eclipse's rays twitched anxiously, a regretful frown crossing his expression. "Of course I know that.. I'm sorry. I should've stopped and thought way before I even tore apart that picture." The angel closed her eyes, curling into a ball on the lounge. "..It's fine. Rue said she didn't.. care. Anygays." Foodie answered, her voice muffled due to her mouth being covered by her arms. The male animatronic huffed in exasperation, scowling. "Fine? It's not fine at all! You're the one person I wish to never upset, and I've literally just done it! And I bet Rue was lying when she said she didn't care about that pic, too!" The Dorito man argued, his own fists clenching as he sat beside his.. best friend. He hated seeing Foodie like this. It made him feel sick. "No point worrying about me now. Rue's done far too much stress to me than anything else, lately. As much as I hate to admit it.." the angel trailed off, leaving a tense silence in the room. Sun glanced between the two, clearly unhappy. Well, after what had just taken place... "I'm gonna go upstairs. Make sure that Solar isn't taking his anger out on Vi. If not I'll call Cieos and see if they're doing okay." The Sun themed animatronic mused, seeming apologetic. Foodie looked up at him, waving a small hand at him. "It's fine.. I'm thinking of going for a walk soon, anygays. Might clear my head a little." She replied, twirling strands of her hair around her fingers. The other male raised an eyebrow, unconvinced, but he said nothing to protest against it. "Yeah... It might." ~~~ "So.. how have you been coping, anygays?" The fallen angel murmured, her eyes flickering to her e×. Ally snorted at her words. "You know me; I don't even need to explain myself. All I know is that you've been falling apart the last few days." Rue felt defensive for a split second, but then the feeling dropped. Her energy had drained out, ever since Moon had died- even before that. From the second that the moon-themed animatronic was kidnapped at the carnival, while they were right in front of him. She didn't feel the same. Not anymore. +
"Yeah.. I know I have. And honestly, I don't know how I'm going to cope with this. I don't expect you to try and suggest anything, but... Maybe there's nothing I can do to help it. All I want to do is just to..." Rue trailed off, her tail flickering anxiously as her silence filled the blanks. She had said it countless times already, and the fallen angel doubted that Ally wanted to hear it. "Well, if I could do anything about it... I would." The demon said simply, shrugging casually. The genderfluid rebellious angel's eyes met Ally's, and a silence passed through the room. Though was it tense? "I appreciate it. But I'd like to try and bring him back myself." Rue murmured, her eyes glazing over the room. Yet, despite her words, Ally's words lingered in her mind, repeating silently. The demon just shrugged again. "Suit yourself." ~~~ Meanwhile... ~~~ Foodie sighed quietly, the pace of her walk sluggish. Roughly about 10 minutes ago now, she had left the Celestial house - the place she had adjusted to call home - to leave. It wasn't going to be for too long. Not over an hour, at least. Even if he never spoke the words aloud, she knew Eclipse had doubted it would clear her mind. Distracted in her thoughts, the angel stumbled forward and landed on her knees as she tripped over a large stick on the footpath. Scowling, Foodie stood up, her dark brown eyes flickering up to the sunset in the sky. In a normal situation, she would've gone back home to fetch Rue and show how beautiful it was. However, with how things were now... "Are you alright? I watched you fall over." A male voice called out, making the angel jump out of her skin. Tensing due to the unease that crept through her body, her head swivelled around to inspect the place behind her, where the voice had caught her attention. The tail of the angel wrapped around her leg. Gazing back at her, was a figure with a blue shirt, blazing blue eyes, dark brown hair, and a tail that had a claw right at the end of it. "...Who are you?" Foodie questioned, puzzled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chapter 52? ;] <3 Song (part) played on repeat: Enemy - Imagine Dragons !!!
