[[OOC - ALSO...CW: blood, attempted murder of a child, oxygen poisoning, and DEATH!]]
[Emporio's flickering thought is rather nice, compared to what briefly flew out of his head. 'Oh,' he finds himself saying aloud, smiling at first but then slowly frowning. What he's seeing...feels more like what he's seen on glances at the television in the prison. Bits and snaps of schoolyard bullying, which never feel any better despite the obvious cliche. Rude. Cruel.
...
Laios sees something far worse.
The feeling of burning lungs and fragile limbs. Evidence of a rapid run for one's life, slowly burning into something more. A golem of clouds hovers at the side, mirroring the fragility.
The stubborn, desperate need to keep going.
WHAT DID YOU DO demands the voice of the man- the adult- the Priest, who has collapsed now through the piano in this spectacular room, this place that once represented sanctuary and safety of the ultimate sort. All the books lining the walls, the plush carpet beneath...
None of it matters.
'...The most deadly poison on the planet is the air we breathe,' speaks a voice from one's own throat.
'I read it in a book once.'
That voice from the self explains- in detail, what the poison is now doing. As the man across snarls and screams insolence. As the poison takes effect faster on him, for time itself revolves faster around him. As the Priest snarls that his assailant knows nothing of heaven, of what he's doing, if he would just die, so that everything can go as planned.
It hardens one's resolve.
Fingers, gripping carpet fibers. Feeling the sensation of flesh beneath palm as the cloudy golem strikes, punches, claws at the face with renewed strength, this man, this priest, mother, you killed my mother-
The final blow punches through a skull.
Everything begins to melt toward the focal point that is the corpse. As time continues to accelerate. As everything disappears. As the world grows black-
Familiarly so.
This is how it now feels, from here, to have arrived in the Bay after all.]
