FINAL CONFRONTATION.

[foundationmods]

The Winchester House looms before you, the barrier that kept everything in - the time stop that Dog placed over the area - now thin as a single pane of transparent glass, Solomon still clearly outside the house frozen in the same position he was on the tapes.

The minutes tick by - and the barrier slowly gets thinner and thinner, close to falling.

You have seen everything - the events of the past. You have also come up with your own ideas of what to do from here - how to save your fellow 6350's lost to the curse, and defeat the Curse itself.

There is no one left alive in the house.

But, at the end of all of this...

There will be a wrong righted.

How much holy water does it take to purify a Vessel...?! Neesan went down in one hit...

[ KEEPS....WATER-BLASTING HIM.... ]

[merirut]

Hmph, you'll never escape your true nature, I suppose.

[So he might as well help here, considering there's a number of them ground-bound and he's not. So he'll launch dozens and dozens of beams of light from where he's hovering in the air to cut through as much of the miasma as he can without hitting any of the others.

Also if someone needs to get picked up to avoid the spider miasma, he can do that too.]

[zweivoltage]

[Well, he's in a golem now after getting thrown out of the tree, now he's a golem sitting in a puddle of Holy water looking quite annoyed]

[respring]

[ she go upsies

ah man she's so tired she's going to pass out when this is over ]

[killtheanimals]

[Gross. The wind spirit takes him up into the air, although once he realizes Syaoran is doing the same thing with his wind barrier he dismisses his summon and allows Syaoran's magic to support him.

You know.

That way he can send flame magic racing over the curse spiders instead.]

...Yuri-san...

[She doesn’t want to say it, but—]

Are you that willing to pin your hopes on another poisoned apple? You have.... you have really kind ideals, but you aren’t allowed to forgive what happens to other people, only yourself. This thing has hurt... so many people, for so long. You don’t get to erase that to ease your own heart.

[white_camellia]

It is the "something" that is the problem. If we are attempting to purify it, that is what is already being done. If it is sealing it off so it does no more damage... That was the situation as it was before we arrived, a method that was already failing before we arrived. The issue is finding a method that both allows it to live, yet prevents it from killing more people. Unless we can provide an alternative...

[Please, say you have an idea we can try.]

[finalring]

[ solomon grimaces as he sees the vessel add four more stakes to the fray--no, those aren't the real demons, are they. ]

So you're using cheap knock offs of the stakes? What a joke. Any Witch or Wizard would laugh at your pathetic attempt, Battler Ushiromiyaaaaaaa!

[ but he's not laughing. ren being in trouble is definitely something that he needs to focus on. and you know what else he's good at aside from building barriers? breaking barriers.

there's a multitude of magical circles that appear around ren's space, covering the area in a holy light that will attempt to break the space and, therefore, free him.

and, he jumps towards battler, aiming a roundhouse kick to the head. ]

[oxidegreen]

I'm sorry. I can't Confine anyone for too long without greatly weakening myself.

[And that... seems like a terrible idea right now.]

[deadanimemom]

[Another poisoned apple, says Yachi, and that cuts right into her.

Every word out of the girl's mouth stings.]

It's a child, and it never had a chance. We don't get to decide that it doesn't get to survive, just because it didn't know any better.

[sageking]

Maybe much more to make him be silent.

[ He made an 'L' shape with a finger and added a blast of light magic to that holy water spray. ]

[zweivoltage]

I understand. I'm just a little frustrated I couldn't do more with the time I had.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...tumbles a little. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING WE ARE EXPERIENCING SOME SLIGHT TURBULENCE AND I'VE ONLY ACTUALLY FLOWN LIKE TWICE BEFORE]

[excavated]

[don't worry he has control over it so the wind itself is actually surprisingly gentle so he'll make sure she doesn't fall or suddenly flip over or anything]

[merirut]

[I retract the statement from my previous tag. There is no roof. The roof was a lie all along. Not that it'll stop him from glaring at Nora for that because thanks for the glass shower ig?! Ugh, some of it might've gotten inside his hood...]

It would have been preferable if that hellhound hadn't shattered the windows, but I'm fine.

[Anyways, Sandalphon will pick up Flayn's collapsed form as he flaps his wings once again to shake any last bits of glass off of them before taking flight to exit out of the new hole in the roof.

...Is what I'd like to say, but the curse's confounding effects just kind of turn him around or something? Either way, Sandalphon is not pleased!!]

...What in the skies is this?

[excavated]

[SAME GODDAMN HAT]

[accessorytomurder]

It’s been killing people for eighty years. It melted everyone outside we came with! They screamed, and they suffered, and that made it happy.

[That made it stronger.]

...If it had gotten the man you love brutally murdered, would you still be desperately arguing? You’re... Yuri-san, you care so much. To... to the point that it’s almost hard to say you actually care about anyone at all. After everything you saw happen in there... just because it acts or sounds like a child instead of an obvious monster, we should just forgive it?

[Dazai’s weight in her lap, as he fell still... Sho struggling to give her the kindness of a painless end... Rosa, trying to drive her out, vicious but unwilling to kill her...]

...Yuri-San... how many people are dead because of your kindnesses, where you come from?

[deadanimemom]

[She's been dead for weeks, struggling to hold on to her concept of self despite the dragging pull of the curse. She doesn't have an idea, or an alternative, or anything other than the desire to help.]

There has to be a way to contain it without hurting it. They've had time to work on it, someone must have thought of something!

[soupervillain]

Can't deny the tru- ungh... [ How much does it take? About that much, apparently. Giovanni finally gives up fighting as the lethal combination of holy water and light magic barrels into him, falling limp against the ground. He's counting on you, Battler... ]

[houndumb]

It ain't my fault this room has shitty windows!!!

[Grumble, grumble, trying to brush glass out of his own hair because he also covered himself in glass, they're doing great. Nora's just going to come stomping over to check on everybody including the... ex-dragon. Squints.........




Squints some more as Sandy grabs her and then does a loop-de-loop in the air or something.]

... The hell were you tryin' to do? You're just going in circles??

[sageking]

[ If he hadn't already lept into the air (spoilers, he did), he certainly had now. Levitating was such a simple thing for him, anyway.

Though the rain of weapons had a different place to come from. Instead of higher up, it was closer to the ground, pelting the multitude of spiders easily, and easily able to angle holy weaponry no matter where it went. People being moved out of the way made it less of a chore and he had great control over trajectory.

He also brought out fast moving treasures, making sure to make it have a difficult time. ]

[reanimania]

Inventing a popular household cleaning robot and becoming a university professor and researcher.

Aren't you actually supposed to be useful in this type of situation?

[visionem]

Oh, is this a purification dance? [ Looks on with interest! ]

[sageking]

[ Gilgamesh didn't fall. If anything, he's levitating, and reached to grab a hold of Karen before she fell into lake miasma.

And his patience ran thin.

Golden portals began to open all over the room and started to blast lances and spears through the walls, tearing a few down. He had no idea where in the fuck Date was, but going into the basement to fight like two other people without knowing where the third was would be sheer madness.

In the meanwhile, let's get summon some light here. He'll make it come forth by moving a finger in an 'L' shape to see more down into the basement other than Water and butterflies which were being pelted with holy swords. ]

[boardreversal]

[There's a harsh, sudden jolt of breath as he just manages to dodge Ren's final attack, sneering triumphantly -

Before Solomon suddenly appears, and says that.

If he wasn't already dead, his face would have paled - unable to move for that second as his 'room' and Stakes are blown into smitherines by the light, sent careening over to the side as a result of that blow and landing on the ground.

There's a moment as he just lies there, Miasma pouring off from him...before he slowly stands, wavering on his feet.]

....A...h....

[It's like that, is it? It's always like this. Aaah, he can hear it. He can hear it, over and over, hearing both Beatrice and Hikage's words in his head like a messy jumble.

Is there nothing he can do? Is this going to end the same way, with him being defeated, dying at the hands of someone who's treating him like a leaf in the wind?

...No. He refuses. He won't - never again, never again never again never again-]

- JUST DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

[The miasma that rises around from him as he holds his head and screams turns into pointed blades of truth, all of them lashing out with their miasma laden payload, all at the two of them-!

This is his new truth! So, So-!]

Just drown, just die, just disappeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaar!! Stop it, stop it, don't come near me, stop trying to take this away from meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
