But before I share. I want you to share. It's... only fair, honestly. [ she takes the bottle and houses the remainder. ] I can take an educated guess, if your [ she uses the bottle to motion to his face. ] scarring has anything to do with it, but I'd rather hear it straight from the pharaoh's mouth.
[ she drops her hands from his face, so she can, instead, circle them around him. tugs him against her for a hug. ] ...what happened had been gruesome after all.
I'll always try to help you, King. [ lets out a sigh. ]
And Intensity was right about last night. I got in wreck. It was an accident though, and I probably always say that, but... my tentacles came out, which makes no sense, so I crashed. It was real bad, as I'm sure you can imagine.
[ she scoots back and then turns around, slowly peeling away the layers of clothing she's got on until she can show him her back, which is, well, a mess. ] I... I cut them off...
...ok, so, like, I was driving with the demon girlfriend, and it was great. Real fun. And then I said I could make a jump across some bridge, because, y'know, of course. I can make any jump. I'm the best. So I put the pedal to the metal. But then, IDK, I didn't, because... well, nightmare. [ she shrugs. ] It was okay though, kind of, because I can't die. I get in wrecks all the time, but... but then she wasn't the one next to me anymore. It was Kohime. And she was freaking out. Like, of course she was. We were going to crash.
I wanted to help her, but my tentacles, they... [ she starts breathing a bit heavier as she reaches to cup her face with her hand. ] they slithered up my arms and locked my hands in place, they snared them to the steering wheel. I could move. I- I was trapped. A- And she was screaming. She was going to die. [ tears well in her eyes as she can see the entire thing replaying all. over. again. ]
Then we crashed.
It was bad, but... but I can't die... [ she shuts her eyes and speaks more quietly. ] But she was right across from me, dead, and all I could do was stare at her...
I was... I was driving IRL like I do when I'm feeling upset and I just want to clear my head and stuff, and then they just kind of... popped out. I didn't expect it. I wasn't turned on. I don't think I have ever been less turned on in my life, since, well, I'm pretty sure I'm spiraling into a trauma hole, but... they still came out, and it freaked me the fuck out. I crashed. It was bad. I wasn't thinking clearly and I was upset, mad and scared, and I... I hacked them off.
I... I used my Heart Weapon to do it. I used my Heart Weapon on myself...
[ she spins around a bit too fast, and almost topples over, but she manages to keep her balance... somehow. it might be the tail. the tail helps. the tail is good. ]
