[IC] [Reverie] SEPTEMBER 2022 - PALACE GAME

[pyrighteous]

[ Welcome to the inside of Hunter's heart! Potential CWs include (but are not limited to):

- Torture
- Character death
- Gaslighting/manipulation/bad parenting
- Child abuse (onscreen and implied)
- Experimentation/vivisection
- Body horror

Generally speaking the onscreen stuff will be kept PG-13 (this is a Disney cartoon after all!) but the implications may be exponentially more horrific (this is a Disney cartoon after all!!)

If at any point you are uncomfortable or need to me take extra care in glossing over ANY topic, please ping me right away in Discord. I am happy to do everything I can to keep this game fun for everyone! ]

[mountanoffensive]

Then why was he screaming?

[pyrighteous]

Adjustments. Unfortunate that it's happening after he's conscious, but not to worry. I'll erase the memories later.

[mountanoffensive]

You'll do no such thing! You don't get to decide what he remembers and what he doesn't.

[pyrighteous]

Do you WANT him to remember this pain?

[mountanoffensive]

Of course not. But you did it. You can't just make it go away since it's part of who he is now.

[pyrighteous]

I find it to be a more merciful option to simply remove them. Less troublesome, as well; you want to start clean.

[mountanoffensive]

Life's not about starting clean. It's about growing from your experiences.

[pyrighteous]

And the experience of dying over and over? Failing over and over? Would you curse him with that?

I grant him mercy, Horse.

[mountanoffensive]

You're the one doing that to him in the first place!

[Checks the pit. Is Hunter still cooking?]

[pyrighteous]

[ He is! Once he's back in, he falls into a dazed sort of state. ]

And he would not exist without me. So.

[mountanoffensive]

Maybe that's true. But you still don't get to treat him like he's just a creation!

[Hoping the extra cooking is helping because she's having her fill of this...]

[pyrighteous]

Why not? That's what he is. No more a person than a particularly complex puppet.

[ Seems to be! his legs are slowly reforming. ]

[mountanoffensive]

He has feelings! And hopes! And wants! And he has these crazy ideas that I never understand but they're still his! And he's always trying to be better. Which makes him more of a person than YOU!

[pyrighteous]

[ A soft laugh. ]

What do you know about me?

[mountanoffensive]

All I need to know.

[pyrighteous]

I'm not so sure. Have you figured out why I make these grimwalkers?

[mountanoffensive]

I don't actually care... Probably the same reason you hate witches yet made yourself Head Witch.

[pyrighteous]

[ SHRUGS ]

Related. I wanted my brother by my side. Properly, this time. To finish the job.

[mountanoffensive]

You can't just make a new brother after you murdered the first one.

[pyrighteous]

Sure I can. That's what grimwalkers are for.

[mountanoffensive]

Yeah, well not this one!

[Going to attempt a Hunter heist Part 2]

[pyrighteous]

[ You can yank him out again! This time, he looks mostly finished. ]

[mountanoffensive]

[IS GOING TO DO THAT THEN]

Come on, Hunter, we're hitting up the next painting!

[pyrighteous]

What - wait a minute -

[ He would protest more, but Belos is flinging a lightning bolt at the both fo them. ]

[mountanoffensive]

No time to talk this time, sorry!
