Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?
[Currently playing: What I've done-Linkin Park]
[ I feel like the song fits rn?]
@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.
@cyliu-the-farmer
Cyliu immediately hid her trepidation and Seemingly snapped into a completely different being hiding the empathetic side as she held her Scythe in her hands, Staring with lingering guilt as she lightly approached,
Her mind was spinning as She just made a slight approach to wifies at first, seemingly silent as she does, Her head Seemingly At war, She hopes Zam or anyone could forgive her for what she was about to do, before glancing at wifies then back to spoke
> An ghostly Australian shepherd watches from the Surroundings, Trying their best not to be noticed, They seem confused what Cy's doing [Kaya always watches over Cy </3 She won't really do anything but watch]
[Currently playing Vs Susie - [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu Attempts to approach and slice at Wifies, Her scythe connecting with the shield As a warning?, She knew what she was doing, Especially right then, She needed Wifies to run towards the trap so She hopes the scythe making contact with the shield will make Wifies run, Her Braided Dandelion and White hair flow within the wind as she stares at Wifies blankly
> Kaya stares in fear from a tree nearby watching her former found family sister Actually try to attack an seemingly innocent player?!, How much had changed about Cyliu since her death?!, Why was Cy so fine with the violence against that wifies player?
[Currently playing Abandon ship [Subnautica ] ]
@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy took a second to try and check the scratch upon her arm, Before chasing Wifies towards the trap Her scythe in her other hand Her other arm was throbbing as she switched the scythe to the other, arm, She Needed Wifies to fall for the trap but the stinging sensation was getting to her head, It's likely she'd be uncoordinated for this fight, Her morals are telling her to just stop chasing Wifies But her Nature to please her ally attempts to over power those morals
> In her head she asks herself The true question was this fight really worth the risk to her friends and family, Should she try and kill Wifies and Break her moral code, Or should she betray spoke,As the fight went on She couldn't tell anymore There was a compelling hatred festering within her soul, This situation felt too familiar, Too much like the mafia days, When her and Kaya had to run for their lives, She knew she'd be considered no better than the mafia for this...So why? why was she obeying Spoke's order to Kill?
[Currently playing - The chase [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.
@cyliu-the-farmer
With the Bash to her head from the shield she stopped in her tracks a bit confused and disoriented She held her scythe, Hesitating to Slice Wifies, Their attempts to evade just continues to remind her of Kaya and Her trying to run from the mafia, She knew deep in her soul Kaya wouldn't approve of her trapping this player They had a life and friends on the server who'd likely Come back to haunt her for her actions
> Cy Holds her scythe More loose than before she can't bring herself to slice Wifies no matter how hard she tries, This task just... Keeps Causing her to fight her internal moral compass She hates Killing Why did she even agree to this ideal?, She knew That Killing Wifies or even hurting Wifies is just a great way to make more enemies than she needed
> Kaya watches from the trees nearby Her hands over her Mouth, Her eyes wide as she sees the scene play out
[Currently playing Mutiny [Epic the Musical] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy felt the scythe being taken from her loose grip, She watched in horror as Wifies fell into the trap before turning to face Spoke... Seemingly done with his shenanigans
"...Do you even realize what you have just done spoke?, Didn't you say They have ALLIES?!, IT ONLY TAKES A REASONABLE GUESS FOR THEIR ALLIES TO TRACK US DOWN YOU IDIOT, THIS WAS FAR TOO DANGEROUS... Ugh I'm done with following this stupid plan, You don't know what it's like to be constantly told to Kill another person on this server DO YOU?!, WELL NEWS FLASH BUDDY?!, I LIVED THROUGH THE VERY SCENARIO OF BEING IN THREAT OF DEATH, WHY DO YOU THINK I HESITATED SO MUCH TO ATTACK?, IT'S BECAUSE THEY REMINDED ME TOO MUCH OF MY OWN STRUGGLES, I CAN BARELY EVEN STOP FEELING GUILTY FOR JUST DEFENSIVELY KILLING SOMEONE, HOW ON EARTH DO YOU EXPECT ME TO KILL SOMEONE LIKE THAT?"
> The Rabbit's tone grew to be increasingly shaky and pained as she shouts at spoke, She cannot deal with the guilt of killing another person, Morally She knew she couldn't Ever try and Kill wifies, So in a Fit of Rage?, Or maybe just A response to everything she Immediately Throws a left hook at the voidlings face [AvA style punch to the voidling if thats fine]
> Cyliu Then Immediately backs up from spoke before charging into a tackle to Try and pry her scythe from Spoke's hand
[Currently playing The moon (Jonah Senzel)[Inscryption] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies slowly squinted his eyes as he listened to the two argue, mostly the gal. He then scoffed, letting his lungs sit in a lack of air as he glanced around before letting in a shaky breath.
He had some blocks in his inventory...Definitely not enough, given how deep the trap was, but it was that or trying to mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe.
Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu Gets off of Spoke silently, Her grip upon the scythe tightening as she hears spokes words, Why Should she listen to another word he says, She took far too much of a risk this time
"...You know what...?!, No spoke I won't Take what I said back, You more powerful players always act like You'll get away with everything you all do on this server then come begging Others to take the blame for you... You have no idea what the average players go through on a daily basis trying to survive, You have not a God damn clue about the guilt that sticks with you because of what you were forced to do,Hell...Being your Ally is just Risking my Family and Friends"
> The Rabbit's voice rings out as she gets ready to defend herself incase spoke attacks which She'll attempt to shove him away Unknowingly pushing Spoke into the very trap they built together
> Currently playing : [Black knife (Deltarune) (Toby fox)]
@spokeisthere
Too enraged to focus on anything else, Spoke ignores Wifies pillaring out of the trap.
He laughs in Cyliu's face, unable to control himself.
"You know nothing about me, you know nothing about guilt, and you don't know FUCK about my family. There's so much I wish I could tell you right now, Cy," he shouts. Suddenly, this situation feels all too familiar. The combination of trapping a player and thinking about Rose causes him to freeze for a second, before recovering.
"You don't even know why I didn't use dripstone in this trap," he continues, laughing again, bitterly. He knows Cy will have no idea what he means by that, but he doesn't particularly care. At this point, he's barely talking to Cy, it's as if he's talking to someone else entirely.
He quickly takes out his sword, lunging for her but not carefully enough to avoid hitting her shield. The sword bounces off harmlessly.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Once he ran out of wooden planks, Wifies scooted closer to the obsidian walls, leaning against them with his uninjured arm while he grasped at the bloodied cloth of his left sleeve. The sensation of the fresh blood made him grimace.
His eyes briefly trailed to look at Spoke and the other player, Cy, and the lack of organization was almost laughable.
He wondered if Spoke would be able to kill her, if he wanted to. Wifies felt no relief at Spoke's decision not to kill him quick.
Focusing back on the pillar, he placed whatever cobblestone blocks he had on his inventory, then a crafting table—metal hits something, and he turned to look at Spoke again. Fucking idiot.
Wifies stopped, took a quick glance at his inventory, then focused on the two players.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu Quickly switches from her shield to Her Scythe after Spoke Collided with her Shield Her Demeanor shifting As she processes His attempts at Attacking her
".....You really don't Understand do you?!, Thats to be expected from someone like you isn't it, Because You've had it so good for basically the entire server, Don't give me that I DON'T KNOW GRIEF OR GUILT SHIT SPOKE, YOUR NOT THE ONE WITH SURVIVORS GUILT THAT KEEPS YOU AWAKE IN THE NIGHTS, Your not the one that Has to be reminded of their Defensive killing to protect their home, I might not Know a fucking thing about you,But you don't know shit about me either... I shouldn't have gone along with trusting you..."
> The Rabbit's voice rings out With a Hint of Lingering Pain and an unknown surge of Anxiety
> Cy goes for an Slice on spoke with her scythe after throwing a single windcharge at him Likely successfully landing a hit which Triggers the Sculk sensor of the trap to send Spoke down To which she tries to Back away afterwards She feels like she's being watched by Every little thing Nearby, Her Head Is Spinning as she watches Spoke fall, Why did it have to come to violence always, She just wants to escape the chaos But of course she just made more enemies by her actions,

[Currently playing> Wolf in Sheep's clothing [Set it off]
@spokeisthere
"Yeah, admit it. You know nothing about me. You don't even know about Ro--" he's cut off as the wind charge hits him, leaving him falling into the trap. The blood from his bloody nose trails behind him through the air as he falls. The obsidian floor of the trap collides with his head with an all-too-familiar sickening thud.
I'm glad I didn't make this out of dripstone, is the last thing he thinks before he blacks out.
A minute or so later, he wakes up, confused. A dull pain manifests all over his body, and he seems to be bleeding from somewhere, he can't tell. That can't be a good sign. He's not entirely sure where he is, other than in a trap of some sort. He looks up to see a player atop a pillar in the trap, who he doesn't recognize, and the distant figure the player who must have trapped him.
He checks his inventory, realizing he's also out of firework rockets. He has one enderpearl, a few wind charges, and a small amount of dirt blocks. He thinks for a second to throw the enderpearl or wind charge up, but he doesn't have enough wind charges and the enderpearl would only make it about halfway up. Besides, he can barely even stand. God, he's so dizzy.
He wonders to himself who the player on the pillar is. His name is on the tip of his tongue. He gives it a minute and then a vague memory comes to him.
"Wifies?" he shouts up to her, slurring his speech, before pausing for a second. "Wait no, Clonefies. What's going on?"
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies looked down at Spoke's unconscious body on the floor, then up at the rest of blocks he still had to pillar up to. He let out a sigh and turned to face Cy.
"Anything else?" She squinted his eyes at her, then turned around as he took out his pickaxe. "Don't accept jobs you know you won't finish."
He should start carrying more blocks. He began mining at the obsidian in the wall the best he could. If one squinted, you could see its body shaking.
A moment later, he instinctively peeked to where his name was being called. It seemed to take her a bit to process that Spoke was the one speaking.
Her eye twitched at the nickname.
"You—DO NOT call me that," Wifies snapped. She should start carrying a bow and arrows. Dripstone, even.
His glare lingered on Spoke for a couple seconds before he forced himself to look away, knuckles white from how tightly he was holding the pickaxe.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu sat upon a nearby rock Bandaging up her arm, Knowing how Wifies held a point, Why Exactly would someone Just willingly Follow someone who went against their morals, She knew she never showed have Accepted that Deal to help Spoke in this moment
"...Look I get it, I'd be mad if someone helped the person trying to Kill me, And I'll admit Following him into this was a Moronic move on my part, As this went against everything I stood for, And Look I'm Sorry things ended up this way
> The Rabbit's Voice seemed to come out Slightly Softer than before Probably due to the fact she wasn't trying to Mess with That Wifies player infront of her, Because The rabbit was sick of fighting against another player
"...I felt conditioned to Join him as I had I owed him a favor for saving my friend, And I didn't know it would end up like this, If You'd want me to leave I will gladly get out of your sight"
> The rabbit finished her temporary Bandaging and stood up Looking back at wifies and the hole a few more times Before walking a bit away following One of her Lodestone Compasses Back to Zam Empire Or a Place she can Firework restock Unknowingly to Cyliu, Another of her Compasses Falls to the ground behind her An Engraving Saying Zam empire is on the compass Labeled Home?
[ Currently playing > Dark Place (Toby fox) ]
//Do with this what you wish
@spokeisthere
He tilts his head in confusion. He's half tempted to apologize, after all he's in a vulnerable situation, but being SpokeIsHere, he doesn't.
"Wait are you the real Wifies? I... don't remember how I got here, I don't know what's going on. It's weird, whoever made this trap didn't put any dripstone..." it's at this moment he realizes something: he is likely the only player on the server who wouldn't have put dripstone in a fall trap. It reminds him too much of Rose.
The combination of the concussion and thinking about her gives him a piercing headache. He winces in pain and closes his eyes. The world is too bright for him right now.
"What's going on?" He shouts up to Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She gave no reply to Cyliu, only watching as she got out of sight, footsteps and an extra noise that didn't go along with the rythm of her walk, but Wifies could not see what it was from where he was stuck, as curious as he was.
He seemed a lot less amused once he turned back at the one person left in the area, yet he couldn't help but feel concern; Spoke genuinely sounded lost.
"You know the answer to that," Her voice remained stern, although she hesitated right after.
"...Cy pushed you into your own trap." His hand lightly fidgeted with the pickaxe, fingers loosening up their grip as to not hold it as tightly as before.
"Fuck. Of course she did, why the hell did I trust her anyways?" he says, a little shakily.
"Can't do anything right." he mumbles, quietly enough Wifies can just barely hear, mostly directed at himself. He's still confused as to which Wifies he's talking to, but decides to drop the issue.
He manages to stand up, but he feels really off balance. He stands there for a moment, not wanting to risk enderpearling up to Wifies only to fall back down. He looks up briefly, which intensifies his headache, but he manages to get a good view of Wifies and her iron pickaxe. He considers it for a second before speaking again.
"I...I have a netherite pickaxe with efficiency. I can pearl up and help you mine, just give me a second. I can't stand up for too long" he sits back down, wiping the oil-colored blood off his nose and arm, which he now realizes are what's bleeding.
Her head tilted in interest, but no actual response came out her mouth.
It doesn't take him a while to notice the oil-blood Spoke bled, which made the body stiffen and look away from the sight.
Wifies broke the crafting table she stood on, then a couple planks. It could take Spoke long enough to recover for her to get out of the trap, but she didn't have that kind of luck, so she instead placed a plank in front of her and the other to her side for the area to be big enough for the two to stand on.
The items in her hand switched between several items sitting in the inventory, from the crafting table to an axe, to a couple currently useless items, then his shield, then nothing.
One of the elytra wings twitched as she waited for the voidling to pearl up.
After a minute or two he stands up again, trying to get a good footing to throw his enderpearl. His legs wobble a little, but he barely manages to land the throw.
"That was close..." a sudden wave of dizziness hits him, probably from the movement. He grabs onto Wifies for support. The blood from his arm smears onto his. After some hesitation, he apologizes for grabbing her.
"I'm... sorry." He isn't used to saying that. "I'm just... really, really dizzy."
He cringes a bit at the apology. Apologizing always felt weak to him, and he had desperately tried to avoid showing weakness ever since the mafia. Weakness gets beat out of you in the mafia. Weakness gets you hurt.
With that thought, the headache comes back again in full force, but he pushes through it. He gets out pickaxe and starts mining at the obsidian wall.
She took a quick step to the side as Spoke landed on the plataform before freezing for a moment the instant he grasped at her arm, the only movement being a flinch from the resurge of pain through it.
"It's fine," Wifies replied almost automatically, hand moving away from where it had instinctively reached for her axe.
Her eyes dragged themselves up to look at the voidling taking out his pickaxe, then behind her -- too close to the edge; Wifies moved farther from it, and closer to Spoke.
He hesitated, attempted to push away any pity towards the other.
"You could've just killed me yourself," she mumbled, "What even was your plan here?"
"I don't KNOW. I still don't remember what led up to this, and my head hurts every time I try to think." he snaps, pausing his mining for an instant to glare at her. "But since everything goes wrong no matter what I do, maybe I wanted to be in charge for once. Maybe I wanted to be the one giving the orders."
He's interrupted by the obsidian block breaking. He looks back at Wifies, truly recognizing him for the first time since he fell down. He suppresses a look of disgust. He crafts a trapdoor to crawl through the one-block hole, and starts mining a staircase up. The dark makes his headache a little better.
"What was your plan with blackmailing me? Was it worth it? You know, you remind me of someone." He doesn't elaborate, but the empty look in his eyes conveys it's not a good memory.
Her eyes squinted at him. Even if she was mildly confused, it only came off as demeaning.
Wifies knelt on the floor to follow after Spoke. She reminded herself he's the one getting them both out of the trap, although that didn't stop her from talking; she had a question to answer.
"You also remind me of someone. It doesn't matter." Her position was incredibly uncomfortable, and relying on only one arm to move in the tight space didn't help at all.
"I've heard a couple things about how you work in the server, and what you've done. I guess I didn't want to risk taking your little deal," Wifies admitted with a scoff. He felt like throwing up. "Backfired. How did you find out about the cloning?..."
He pauses.
"What do you know about what I've done?" Spoke asks urgently. Of course, he isn't worried about Wifies knowing about most what he's done, but that isn't exactly what comes to mind. A sharp pain pierces through his head.
He continues, trying to brush off his concern. He doesn't want Wifies to know he has secrets, in case he doesn't know already.
"You don't act like the real Wifies. You're more analytical. More mechanical. You don't look exactly like him either. Either way, Wifies has known about my family for a while and never tried to blackmail me with them! After our... encounter, I asked around. There's rumors about you. They call you Clonefies. I guess this confirms that ^_^" he says in a slightly teasing tone.
"Not enough," He teased, sort of.
Wifies readjusted himself to stop putting so much weight on his arm, instead pretty much sliding across with his legs.
She isn't sure what the feeling is towards Spoke's description, although she definitely didn't like it, nor that stupid name.
"Nobody fucking calls me that. Do not call me that." She held her injured arm close to her stomach, unable to add any pressure.
After a moment, she asked, "Why didn't you add dripstone to the trap?"
A look of relief appears on Spoke's face, although it fades the second Wifies mentions the dripstone. It's not like Wifies could see it though, since he's in front of her in the tunnel he's mining.
"Hey, I didn't call you anything. People do call you that, though..." he trails off, deciding not to continue. It's clearly something he's sensitive about. Maybe something he could use in the future.
He realizes he doesn't have a good answer for the dripstone question.
"I... I ran out of dripstone. And we made the trap quickly. So we didn't have time to get more." he says nervously. He knows it isn't very believable and his delivery wasn't very good either. He really hopes Wifies won't press the issue. He can not find out about Rose. He'd rather go back to the mafia than tell Wifies about Rose.
A second later he realizes he could have just said he forgot. Clearly the fall messed him up.
Wifies scoffed and continued slowly trailing behind Spoke.
He hesitated for a minute after the other stopped talking, then settled on just playing dumb, "Your teammate helped you, then? I thought you'd built it on your own."
The only viable reasons he could think of for a choice like that was a previous bad experience with using it, maybe losing someone. She didn't want to assume on that; she wouldn't push further.
"Yeah we built it together," he replies, trying not to seem too relieved.
Finally, the last dirt block breaks and Spoke had tunneled to the surface. He recoils from the sun; it feels like it's stabbing his eyes with tiny needles. He crawls out of the hole and surveys his surroundings the best he can without fully opening his eyes. It seems safe enough, so he offers Wifies a hand up.
He surfaced a couple moments later after Spoke, his movements slower.
His eyes squint from the direct sunlight and he noticed the other's hand reaching at him. Hesitatingly, he grabbed onto it to then get up as fast as he could then let go, ignoring how the world seemed to blur for some seconds.
Wifies stepped away from Spoke.
Do you remember that girl? Nova I think she was. You remember her?
"I do." He hesitated for a moment before adding, "Couldn't tell you much about what she's up to nowadays. Lost track of her."
If you could be a magical girl which one would you be?
"I don't really know any? I guess I'd like a long dress for the transformation attire, though. Maybe teletransportation powers..."
If you were stuck in a room- a rubber room- a rubber room filled with rats, would that make you crazy?
He snickered.
"Yeah. I'd go crazy, maybe," Wifies joked.

Is planet your favourite person ? How long do you think you could go only talking or living with him? Would you go insane or no?
"What a weird hypothetical.
We could both go places together. If we were stuck with each other, I'm sure we'd be able to come to an agreement on whatever we want to do at the moment. Is that good enough of an answer for you?"
If you could live anywhere why would you and would it be with anyone ?
He hummed, "I think blossom biomes are nice, and I also enjoy living near Planet. Maybe he'd like it too, but I don't mind where we are right now."
Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.
@cyliu-the-farmer
Cyliu immediately hid her trepidation and Seemingly snapped into a completely different being hiding the empathetic side as she held her Scythe in her hands, Staring with lingering guilt as she lightly approached,
Her mind was spinning as She just made a slight approach to wifies at first, seemingly silent as she does, Her head Seemingly At war, She hopes Zam or anyone could forgive her for what she was about to do, before glancing at wifies then back to spoke

[Currently playing Vs Susie - [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.
@cyliu-the-farmer

[Currently playing Abandon ship [Subnautica ] ]
@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy took a second to try and check the scratch upon her arm, Before chasing Wifies towards the trap Her scythe in her other hand Her other arm was throbbing as she switched the scythe to the other, arm, She Needed Wifies to fall for the trap but the stinging sensation was getting to her head, It's likely she'd be uncoordinated for this fight, Her morals are telling her to just stop chasing Wifies But her Nature to please her ally attempts to over power those morals
> In her head she asks herself The true question was this fight really worth the risk to her friends and family, Should she try and kill Wifies and Break her moral code, Or should she betray spoke,As the fight went on She couldn't tell anymore There was a compelling hatred festering within her soul, This situation felt too familiar, Too much like the mafia days, When her and Kaya had to run for their lives, She knew she'd be considered no better than the mafia for this...So why? why was she obeying Spoke's order to Kill?
[Currently playing - The chase [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.
@cyliu-the-farmer
With the Bash to her head from the shield she stopped in her tracks a bit confused and disoriented She held her scythe, Hesitating to Slice Wifies, Their attempts to evade just continues to remind her of Kaya and Her trying to run from the mafia, She knew deep in her soul Kaya wouldn't approve of her trapping this player They had a life and friends on the server who'd likely Come back to haunt her for her actions
> Cy Holds her scythe More loose than before she can't bring herself to slice Wifies no matter how hard she tries, This task just...

[Currently playing Mutiny [Epic the Musical] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.

[Currently playing The moon (Jonah Senzel)[Inscryption] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies slowly squinted his eyes as he listened to the two argue, mostly the gal. He then scoffed, letting his lungs sit in a lack of air as he glanced around before letting in a shaky breath.
He had some blocks in his inventory...Definitely not enough, given how deep the trap was, but it was that or trying to mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe.
Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.

@spokeisthere
Too enraged to focus on anything else, Spoke ignores Wifies pillaring out of the trap.
He laughs in Cyliu's face, unable to control himself.
"You know nothing about me, you know nothing about guilt, and you don't know FUCK about my family. There's so much I wish I could tell you right now, Cy," he shouts. Suddenly, this situation feels all too familiar. The combination of trapping a player and thinking about Rose causes him to freeze for a second, before recovering.
"You don't even know why I didn't use dripstone in this trap," he continues, laughing again, bitterly. He knows Cy will have no idea what he means by that, but he doesn't particularly care. At this point, he's barely talking to Cy, it's as if he's talking to someone else entirely.
He quickly takes out his sword, lunging for her but not carefully enough to avoid hitting her shield. The sword bounces off harmlessly.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Once he ran out of wooden planks, Wifies scooted closer to the obsidian walls, leaning against them with his uninjured arm while he grasped at the bloodied cloth of his left sleeve. The sensation of the fresh blood made him grimace.
His eyes briefly trailed to look at Spoke and the other player, Cy, and the lack of organization was almost laughable.
He wondered if Spoke would be able to kill her, if he wanted to. Wifies felt no relief at Spoke's decision not to kill him quick.
Focusing back on the pillar, he placed whatever cobblestone blocks he had on his inventory, then a crafting table—metal hits something, and he turned to look at Spoke again. Fucking idiot.
Wifies stopped, took a quick glance at his inventory, then focused on the two players.

@spokeisthere
"Yeah, admit it. You know nothing about me. You don't even know about Ro--" he's cut off as the wind charge hits him, leaving him falling into the trap. The blood from his bloody nose trails behind him through the air as he falls. The obsidian floor of the trap collides with his head with an all-too-familiar sickening thud.
I'm glad I didn't make this out of dripstone, is the last thing he thinks before he blacks out.
A minute or so later, he wakes up, confused. A dull pain manifests all over his body, and he seems to be bleeding from somewhere, he can't tell. That can't be a good sign. He's not entirely sure where he is, other than in a trap of some sort. He looks up to see a player atop a pillar in the trap, who he doesn't recognize, and the distant figure the player who must have trapped him.
He checks his inventory, realizing he's also out of firework rockets. He has one enderpearl, a few wind charges, and a small amount of dirt blocks. He thinks for a second to throw the enderpearl or wind charge up, but he doesn't have enough wind charges and the enderpearl would only make it about halfway up. Besides, he can barely even stand. God, he's so dizzy.
He wonders to himself who the player on the pillar is. His name is on the tip of his tongue. He gives it a minute and then a vague memory comes to him.
"Wifies?" he shouts up to her, slurring his speech, before pausing for a second. "Wait no, Clonefies. What's going on?"
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies looked down at Spoke's unconscious body on the floor, then up at the rest of blocks he still had to pillar up to. He let out a sigh and turned to face Cy.
"Anything else?" She squinted his eyes at her, then turned around as he took out his pickaxe. "Don't accept jobs you know you won't finish."
He should start carrying more blocks. He began mining at the obsidian in the wall the best he could. If one squinted, you could see its body shaking.
A moment later, he instinctively peeked to where his name was being called. It seemed to take her a bit to process that Spoke was the one speaking.
Her eye twitched at the nickname.
"You—DO NOT call me that," Wifies snapped. She should start carrying a bow and arrows. Dripstone, even.
His glare lingered on Spoke for a couple seconds before he forced himself to look away, knuckles white from how tightly he was holding the pickaxe.

//Do with this what you wish
@spokeisthere
He tilts his head in confusion. He's half tempted to apologize, after all he's in a vulnerable situation, but being SpokeIsHere, he doesn't.
"Wait are you the real Wifies? I... don't remember how I got here, I don't know what's going on. It's weird, whoever made this trap didn't put any dripstone..." it's at this moment he realizes something: he is likely the only player on the server who wouldn't have put dripstone in a fall trap. It reminds him too much of Rose.
The combination of the concussion and thinking about her gives him a piercing headache. He winces in pain and closes his eyes. The world is too bright for him right now.
"What's going on?" He shouts up to Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She gave no reply to Cyliu, only watching as she got out of sight, footsteps and an extra noise that didn't go along with the rythm of her walk, but Wifies could not see what it was from where he was stuck, as curious as he was.
He seemed a lot less amused once he turned back at the one person left in the area, yet he couldn't help but feel concern; Spoke genuinely sounded lost.
"You know the answer to that," Her voice remained stern, although she hesitated right after.
"...Cy pushed you into your own trap." His hand lightly fidgeted with the pickaxe, fingers loosening up their grip as to not hold it as tightly as before.
"Fuck. Of course she did, why the hell did I trust her anyways?" he says, a little shakily.
"Can't do anything right." he mumbles, quietly enough Wifies can just barely hear, mostly directed at himself. He's still confused as to which Wifies he's talking to, but decides to drop the issue.
He manages to stand up, but he feels really off balance. He stands there for a moment, not wanting to risk enderpearling up to Wifies only to fall back down. He looks up briefly, which intensifies his headache, but he manages to get a good view of Wifies and her iron pickaxe. He considers it for a second before speaking again.
"I...I have a netherite pickaxe with efficiency. I can pearl up and help you mine, just give me a second. I can't stand up for too long" he sits back down, wiping the oil-colored blood off his nose and arm, which he now realizes are what's bleeding.
Her head tilted in interest, but no actual response came out her mouth.
It doesn't take him a while to notice the oil-blood Spoke bled, which made the body stiffen and look away from the sight.
Wifies broke the crafting table she stood on, then a couple planks. It could take Spoke long enough to recover for her to get out of the trap, but she didn't have that kind of luck, so she instead placed a plank in front of her and the other to her side for the area to be big enough for the two to stand on.
The items in her hand switched between several items sitting in the inventory, from the crafting table to an axe, to a couple currently useless items, then his shield, then nothing.
One of the elytra wings twitched as she waited for the voidling to pearl up.
After a minute or two he stands up again, trying to get a good footing to throw his enderpearl. His legs wobble a little, but he barely manages to land the throw.
"That was close..." a sudden wave of dizziness hits him, probably from the movement. He grabs onto Wifies for support. The blood from his arm smears onto his. After some hesitation, he apologizes for grabbing her.
"I'm... sorry." He isn't used to saying that. "I'm just... really, really dizzy."
He cringes a bit at the apology. Apologizing always felt weak to him, and he had desperately tried to avoid showing weakness ever since the mafia. Weakness gets beat out of you in the mafia. Weakness gets you hurt.
With that thought, the headache comes back again in full force, but he pushes through it. He gets out pickaxe and starts mining at the obsidian wall.
She took a quick step to the side as Spoke landed on the plataform before freezing for a moment the instant he grasped at her arm, the only movement being a flinch from the resurge of pain through it.
"It's fine," Wifies replied almost automatically, hand moving away from where it had instinctively reached for her axe.
Her eyes dragged themselves up to look at the voidling taking out his pickaxe, then behind her -- too close to the edge; Wifies moved farther from it, and closer to Spoke.
He hesitated, attempted to push away any pity towards the other.
"You could've just killed me yourself," she mumbled, "What even was your plan here?"
"I don't KNOW. I still don't remember what led up to this, and my head hurts every time I try to think." he snaps, pausing his mining for an instant to glare at her. "But since everything goes wrong no matter what I do, maybe I wanted to be in charge for once. Maybe I wanted to be the one giving the orders."
He's interrupted by the obsidian block breaking. He looks back at Wifies, truly recognizing him for the first time since he fell down. He suppresses a look of disgust. He crafts a trapdoor to crawl through the one-block hole, and starts mining a staircase up. The dark makes his headache a little better.
"What was your plan with blackmailing me? Was it worth it? You know, you remind me of someone." He doesn't elaborate, but the empty look in his eyes conveys it's not a good memory.
Her eyes squinted at him. Even if she was mildly confused, it only came off as demeaning.
Wifies knelt on the floor to follow after Spoke. She reminded herself he's the one getting them both out of the trap, although that didn't stop her from talking; she had a question to answer.
"You also remind me of someone. It doesn't matter." Her position was incredibly uncomfortable, and relying on only one arm to move in the tight space didn't help at all.
"I've heard a couple things about how you work in the server, and what you've done. I guess I didn't want to risk taking your little deal," Wifies admitted with a scoff. He felt like throwing up. "Backfired. How did you find out about the cloning?..."
He pauses.
"What do you know about what I've done?" Spoke asks urgently. Of course, he isn't worried about Wifies knowing about most what he's done, but that isn't exactly what comes to mind. A sharp pain pierces through his head.
He continues, trying to brush off his concern. He doesn't want Wifies to know he has secrets, in case he doesn't know already.
"You don't act like the real Wifies. You're more analytical. More mechanical. You don't look exactly like him either. Either way, Wifies has known about my family for a while and never tried to blackmail me with them! After our... encounter, I asked around. There's rumors about you. They call you Clonefies. I guess this confirms that ^_^" he says in a slightly teasing tone.
"Not enough," He teased, sort of.
Wifies readjusted himself to stop putting so much weight on his arm, instead pretty much sliding across with his legs.
She isn't sure what the feeling is towards Spoke's description, although she definitely didn't like it, nor that stupid name.
"Nobody fucking calls me that. Do not call me that." She held her injured arm close to her stomach, unable to add any pressure.
After a moment, she asked, "Why didn't you add dripstone to the trap?"
A look of relief appears on Spoke's face, although it fades the second Wifies mentions the dripstone. It's not like Wifies could see it though, since he's in front of her in the tunnel he's mining.
"Hey, I didn't call you anything. People do call you that, though..." he trails off, deciding not to continue. It's clearly something he's sensitive about. Maybe something he could use in the future.
He realizes he doesn't have a good answer for the dripstone question.
"I... I ran out of dripstone. And we made the trap quickly. So we didn't have time to get more." he says nervously. He knows it isn't very believable and his delivery wasn't very good either. He really hopes Wifies won't press the issue. He can not find out about Rose. He'd rather go back to the mafia than tell Wifies about Rose.
A second later he realizes he could have just said he forgot. Clearly the fall messed him up.
Wifies scoffed and continued slowly trailing behind Spoke.
He hesitated for a minute after the other stopped talking, then settled on just playing dumb, "Your teammate helped you, then? I thought you'd built it on your own."
The only viable reasons he could think of for a choice like that was a previous bad experience with using it, maybe losing someone. She didn't want to assume on that; she wouldn't push further.
Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.

Cyliu immediately hid her trepidation and Seemingly snapped into a completely different being hiding the empathetic side as she held her Scythe in her hands, Staring with lingering guilt as she lightly approached,
Her mind was spinning as She just made a slight approach to wifies at first, seemingly silent as she does, Her head Seemingly At war, She hopes Zam or anyone could forgive her for what she was about to do, before glancing at wifies then back to spoke

@spokeisthere
Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.

@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.

[Currently playing - The chase [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.
@cyliu-the-farmer
With the Bash to her head from the shield she stopped in her tracks a bit confused and disoriented She held her scythe, Hesitating to Slice Wifies, Their attempts to evade just continues to remind her of Kaya and Her trying to run from the mafia, She knew deep in her soul Kaya wouldn't approve of her trapping this player They had a life and friends on the server who'd likely Come back to haunt her for her actions

[Currently playing Mutiny [Epic the Musical] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.

[Currently playing The moon (Jonah Senzel)[Inscryption] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies slowly squinted his eyes as he listened to the two argue, mostly the gal. He then scoffed, letting his lungs sit in a lack of air as he glanced around before letting in a shaky breath.
He had some blocks in his inventory...Definitely not enough, given how deep the trap was, but it was that or trying to mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe.
Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.
@cyliu-the-farmer

@spokeisthere
Too enraged to focus on anything else, Spoke ignores Wifies pillaring out of the trap.
He laughs in Cyliu's face, unable to control himself.
"You know nothing about me, you know nothing about guilt, and you don't know FUCK about my family. There's so much I wish I could tell you right now, Cy," he shouts. Suddenly, this situation feels all too familiar. The combination of trapping a player and thinking about Rose causes him to freeze for a second, before recovering.
"You don't even know why I didn't use dripstone in this trap," he continues, laughing again, bitterly. He knows Cy will have no idea what he means by that, but he doesn't particularly care. At this point, he's barely talking to Cy, it's as if he's talking to someone else entirely.
He quickly takes out his sword, lunging for her but not carefully enough to avoid hitting her shield. The sword bounces off harmlessly.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Once he ran out of wooden planks, Wifies scooted closer to the obsidian walls, leaning against them with his uninjured arm while he grasped at the bloodied cloth of his left sleeve. The sensation of the fresh blood made him grimace.
His eyes briefly trailed to look at Spoke and the other player, Cy, and the lack of organization was almost laughable.
He wondered if Spoke would be able to kill her, if he wanted to. Wifies felt no relief at Spoke's decision not to kill him quick.
Focusing back on the pillar, he placed whatever cobblestone blocks he had on his inventory, then a crafting table—metal hits something, and he turned to look at Spoke again. Fucking idiot.
Wifies stopped, took a quick glance at his inventory, then focused on the two players.

@spokeisthere
"Yeah, admit it. You know nothing about me. You don't even know about Ro--" he's cut off as the wind charge hits him, leaving him falling into the trap. The blood from his bloody nose trails behind him through the air as he falls. The obsidian floor of the trap collides with his head with an all-too-familiar sickening thud.
I'm glad I didn't make this out of dripstone, is the last thing he thinks before he blacks out.
A minute or so later, he wakes up, confused. A dull pain manifests all over his body, and he seems to be bleeding from somewhere, he can't tell. That can't be a good sign. He's not entirely sure where he is, other than in a trap of some sort. He looks up to see a player atop a pillar in the trap, who he doesn't recognize, and the distant figure the player who must have trapped him.
He checks his inventory, realizing he's also out of firework rockets. He has one enderpearl, a few wind charges, and a small amount of dirt blocks. He thinks for a second to throw the enderpearl or wind charge up, but he doesn't have enough wind charges and the enderpearl would only make it about halfway up. Besides, he can barely even stand. God, he's so dizzy.
He wonders to himself who the player on the pillar is. His name is on the tip of his tongue. He gives it a minute and then a vague memory comes to him.
"Wifies?" he shouts up to her, slurring his speech, before pausing for a second. "Wait no, Clonefies. What's going on?"
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies looked down at Spoke's unconscious body on the floor, then up at the rest of blocks he still had to pillar up to. He let out a sigh and turned to face Cy.
"Anything else?" She squinted his eyes at her, then turned around as he took out his pickaxe. "Don't accept jobs you know you won't finish."
He should start carrying more blocks. He began mining at the obsidian in the wall the best he could. If one squinted, you could see its body shaking.
A moment later, he instinctively peeked to where his name was being called. It seemed to take her a bit to process that Spoke was the one speaking.
Her eye twitched at the nickname.
"You—DO NOT call me that," Wifies snapped. She should start carrying a bow and arrows. Dripstone, even.
His glare lingered on Spoke for a couple seconds before he forced himself to look away, knuckles white from how tightly he was holding the pickaxe.

//Do with this what you wish
@spokeisthere
He tilts his head in confusion. He's half tempted to apologize, after all he's in a vulnerable situation, but being SpokeIsHere, he doesn't.
"Wait are you the real Wifies? I... don't remember how I got here, I don't know what's going on. It's weird, whoever made this trap didn't put any dripstone..." it's at this moment he realizes something: he is likely the only player on the server who wouldn't have put dripstone in a fall trap. It reminds him too much of Rose.
The combination of the concussion and thinking about her gives him a piercing headache. He winces in pain and closes his eyes. The world is too bright for him right now.
"What's going on?" He shouts up to Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She gave no reply to Cyliu, only watching as she got out of sight, footsteps and an extra noise that didn't go along with the rythm of her walk, but Wifies could not see what it was from where he was stuck, as curious as he was.
He seemed a lot less amused once he turned back at the one person left in the area, yet he couldn't help but feel concern; Spoke genuinely sounded lost.
"You know the answer to that," Her voice remained stern, although she hesitated right after.
"...Cy pushed you into your own trap." His hand lightly fidgeted with the pickaxe, fingers loosening up their grip as to not hold it as tightly as before.
"Fuck. Of course she did, why the hell did I trust her anyways?" he says, a little shakily.
"Can't do anything right." he mumbles, quietly enough Wifies can just barely hear, mostly directed at himself. He's still confused as to which Wifies he's talking to, but decides to drop the issue.
He manages to stand up, but he feels really off balance. He stands there for a moment, not wanting to risk enderpearling up to Wifies only to fall back down. He looks up briefly, which intensifies his headache, but he manages to get a good view of Wifies and her iron pickaxe. He considers it for a second before speaking again.
"I...I have a netherite pickaxe with efficiency. I can pearl up and help you mine, just give me a second. I can't stand up for too long" he sits back down, wiping the oil-colored blood off his nose and arm, which he now realizes are what's bleeding.
Her head tilted in interest, but no actual response came out her mouth.
It doesn't take him a while to notice the oil-blood Spoke bled, which made the body stiffen and look away from the sight.
Wifies broke the crafting table she stood on, then a couple planks. It could take Spoke long enough to recover for her to get out of the trap, but she didn't have that kind of luck, so she instead placed a plank in front of her and the other to her side for the area to be big enough for the two to stand on.
The items in her hand switched between several items sitting in the inventory, from the crafting table to an axe, to a couple currently useless items, then his shield, then nothing.
One of the elytra wings twitched as she waited for the voidling to pearl up.
After a minute or two he stands up again, trying to get a good footing to throw his enderpearl. His legs wobble a little, but he barely manages to land the throw.
"That was close..." a sudden wave of dizziness hits him, probably from the movement. He grabs onto Wifies for support. The blood from his arm smears onto his. After some hesitation, he apologizes for grabbing her.
"I'm... sorry." He isn't used to saying that. "I'm just... really, really dizzy."
He cringes a bit at the apology. Apologizing always felt weak to him, and he had desperately tried to avoid showing weakness ever since the mafia. Weakness gets beat out of you in the mafia. Weakness gets you hurt.
With that thought, the headache comes back again in full force, but he pushes through it. He gets out pickaxe and starts mining at the obsidian wall.
She took a quick step to the side as Spoke landed on the plataform before freezing for a moment the instant he grasped at her arm, the only movement being a flinch from the resurge of pain through it.
"It's fine," Wifies replied almost automatically, hand moving away from where it had instinctively reached for her axe.
Her eyes dragged themselves up to look at the voidling taking out his pickaxe, then behind her -- too close to the edge; Wifies moved farther from it, and closer to Spoke.
He hesitated, attempted to push away any pity towards the other.
"You could've just killed me yourself," she mumbled, "What even was your plan here?"
"I don't KNOW. I still don't remember what led up to this, and my head hurts every time I try to think." he snaps, pausing his mining for an instant to glare at her. "But since everything goes wrong no matter what I do, maybe I wanted to be in charge for once. Maybe I wanted to be the one giving the orders."
He's interrupted by the obsidian block breaking. He looks back at Wifies, truly recognizing him for the first time since he fell down. He suppresses a look of disgust. He crafts a trapdoor to crawl through the one-block hole, and starts mining a staircase up. The dark makes his headache a little better.
"What was your plan with blackmailing me? Was it worth it? You know, you remind me of someone." He doesn't elaborate, but the empty look in his eyes conveys it's not a good memory.
Her eyes squinted at him. Even if she was mildly confused, it only came off as demeaning.
Wifies knelt on the floor to follow after Spoke. She reminded herself he's the one getting them both out of the trap, although that didn't stop her from talking; she had a question to answer.
"You also remind me of someone. It doesn't matter." Her position was incredibly uncomfortable, and relying on only one arm to move in the tight space didn't help at all.
"I've heard a couple things about how you work in the server, and what you've done. I guess I didn't want to risk taking your little deal," Wifies admitted with a scoff. He felt like throwing up. "Backfired. How did you find out about the cloning?..."
He pauses.
"What do you know about what I've done?" Spoke asks urgently. Of course, he isn't worried about Wifies knowing about most what he's done, but that isn't exactly what comes to mind. A sharp pain pierces through his head.
He continues, trying to brush off his concern. He doesn't want Wifies to know he has secrets, in case he doesn't know already.
"You don't act like the real Wifies. You're more analytical. More mechanical. You don't look exactly like him either. Either way, Wifies has known about my family for a while and never tried to blackmail me with them! After our... encounter, I asked around. There's rumors about you. They call you Clonefies. I guess this confirms that ^_^" he says in a slightly teasing tone.
"Not enough," He teased, sort of.
Wifies readjusted himself to stop putting so much weight on his arm, instead pretty much sliding across with his legs.
She isn't sure what the feeling is towards Spoke's description, although she definitely didn't like it, nor that stupid name.
"Nobody fucking calls me that. Do not call me that." She held her injured arm close to her stomach, unable to add any pressure.
After a moment, she asked, "Why didn't you add dripstone to the trap?"
Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.

Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.

@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.

@spokeisthere
Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies slowly squinted his eyes as he listened to the two argue, mostly the gal. He then scoffed, letting his lungs sit in a lack of air as he glanced around before letting in a shaky breath.
He had some blocks in his inventory...Definitely not enough, given how deep the trap was, but it was that or trying to mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe.
Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.
@cyliu-the-farmer

@spokeisthere
Too enraged to focus on anything else, Spoke ignores Wifies pillaring out of the trap.
He laughs in Cyliu's face, unable to control himself.
"You know nothing about me, you know nothing about guilt, and you don't know FUCK about my family. There's so much I wish I could tell you right now, Cy," he shouts. Suddenly, this situation feels all too familiar. The combination of trapping a player and thinking about Rose causes him to freeze for a second, before recovering.
"You don't even know why I didn't use dripstone in this trap," he continues, laughing again, bitterly. He knows Cy will have no idea what he means by that, but he doesn't particularly care. At this point, he's barely talking to Cy, it's as if he's talking to someone else entirely.
He quickly takes out his sword, lunging for her but not carefully enough to avoid hitting her shield. The sword bounces off harmlessly.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Once he ran out of wooden planks, Wifies scooted closer to the obsidian walls, leaning against them with his uninjured arm while he grasped at the bloodied cloth of his left sleeve. The sensation of the fresh blood made him grimace.
His eyes briefly trailed to look at Spoke and the other player, Cy, and the lack of organization was almost laughable.
He wondered if Spoke would be able to kill her, if he wanted to. Wifies felt no relief at Spoke's decision not to kill him quick.
Focusing back on the pillar, he placed whatever cobblestone blocks he had on his inventory, then a crafting table—metal hits something, and he turned to look at Spoke again. Fucking idiot.
Wifies stopped, took a quick glance at his inventory, then focused on the two players.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu Quickly switches from her shield to Her Scythe after Spoke Collided with her Shield Her Demeanor shifting As she processes His attempts at Attacking her

@spokeisthere
"Yeah, admit it. You know nothing about me. You don't even know about Ro--" he's cut off as the wind charge hits him, leaving him falling into the trap. The blood from his bloody nose trails behind him through the air as he falls. The obsidian floor of the trap collides with his head with an all-too-familiar sickening thud.
I'm glad I didn't make this out of dripstone, is the last thing he thinks before he blacks out.
A minute or so later, he wakes up, confused. A dull pain manifests all over his body, and he seems to be bleeding from somewhere, he can't tell. That can't be a good sign. He's not entirely sure where he is, other than in a trap of some sort. He looks up to see a player atop a pillar in the trap, who he doesn't recognize, and the distant figure the player who must have trapped him.
He checks his inventory, realizing he's also out of firework rockets. He has one enderpearl, a few wind charges, and a small amount of dirt blocks. He thinks for a second to throw the enderpearl or wind charge up, but he doesn't have enough wind charges and the enderpearl would only make it about halfway up. Besides, he can barely even stand. God, he's so dizzy.
He wonders to himself who the player on the pillar is. His name is on the tip of his tongue. He gives it a minute and then a vague memory comes to him.
"Wifies?" he shouts up to her, slurring his speech, before pausing for a second. "Wait no, Clonefies. What's going on?"
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies looked down at Spoke's unconscious body on the floor, then up at the rest of blocks he still had to pillar up to. He let out a sigh and turned to face Cy.
"Anything else?" She squinted his eyes at her, then turned around as he took out his pickaxe. "Don't accept jobs you know you won't finish."
He should start carrying more blocks. He began mining at the obsidian in the wall the best he could. If one squinted, you could see its body shaking.
A moment later, he instinctively peeked to where his name was being called. It seemed to take her a bit to process that Spoke was the one speaking.
Her eye twitched at the nickname.
"You—DO NOT call me that," Wifies snapped. She should start carrying a bow and arrows. Dripstone, even.
His glare lingered on Spoke for a couple seconds before he forced himself to look away, knuckles white from how tightly he was holding the pickaxe.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu sat upon a nearby rock Bandaging up her arm, Knowing how Wifies held a point, Why Exactly would someone Just willingly Follow someone who went against their morals, She knew she never showed have Accepted that Deal to help Spoke in this moment

//Do with this what you wish
@spokeisthere
He tilts his head in confusion. He's half tempted to apologize, after all he's in a vulnerable situation, but being SpokeIsHere, he doesn't.
"Wait are you the real Wifies? I... don't remember how I got here, I don't know what's going on. It's weird, whoever made this trap didn't put any dripstone..." it's at this moment he realizes something: he is likely the only player on the server who wouldn't have put dripstone in a fall trap. It reminds him too much of Rose.
The combination of the concussion and thinking about her gives him a piercing headache. He winces in pain and closes his eyes. The world is too bright for him right now.
"What's going on?" He shouts up to Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She gave no reply to Cyliu, only watching as she got out of sight, footsteps and an extra noise that didn't go along with the rythm of her walk, but Wifies could not see what it was from where he was stuck, as curious as he was.
He seemed a lot less amused once he turned back at the one person left in the area, yet he couldn't help but feel concern; Spoke genuinely sounded lost.
"You know the answer to that," Her voice remained stern, although she hesitated right after.
"...Cy pushed you into your own trap." His hand lightly fidgeted with the pickaxe, fingers loosening up their grip as to not hold it as tightly as before.
"Fuck. Of course she did, why the hell did I trust her anyways?" he says, a little shakily.
"Can't do anything right." he mumbles, quietly enough Wifies can just barely hear, mostly directed at himself. He's still confused as to which Wifies he's talking to, but decides to drop the issue.
He manages to stand up, but he feels really off balance. He stands there for a moment, not wanting to risk enderpearling up to Wifies only to fall back down. He looks up briefly, which intensifies his headache, but he manages to get a good view of Wifies and her iron pickaxe. He considers it for a second before speaking again.
"I...I have a netherite pickaxe with efficiency. I can pearl up and help you mine, just give me a second. I can't stand up for too long" he sits back down, wiping the oil-colored blood off his nose and arm, which he now realizes are what's bleeding.
Her head tilted in interest, but no actual response came out her mouth.
It doesn't take him a while to notice the oil-blood Spoke bled, which made the body stiffen and look away from the sight.
Wifies broke the crafting table she stood on, then a couple planks. It could take Spoke long enough to recover for her to get out of the trap, but she didn't have that kind of luck, so she instead placed a plank in front of her and the other to her side for the area to be big enough for the two to stand on.
The items in her hand switched between several items sitting in the inventory, from the crafting table to an axe, to a couple currently useless items, then his shield, then nothing.
One of the elytra wings twitched as she waited for the voidling to pearl up.
After a minute or two he stands up again, trying to get a good footing to throw his enderpearl. His legs wobble a little, but he barely manages to land the throw.
"That was close..." a sudden wave of dizziness hits him, probably from the movement. He grabs onto Wifies for support. The blood from his arm smears onto his. After some hesitation, he apologizes for grabbing her.
"I'm... sorry." He isn't used to saying that. "I'm just... really, really dizzy."
He cringes a bit at the apology. Apologizing always felt weak to him, and he had desperately tried to avoid showing weakness ever since the mafia. Weakness gets beat out of you in the mafia. Weakness gets you hurt.
With that thought, the headache comes back again in full force, but he pushes through it. He gets out pickaxe and starts mining at the obsidian wall.
She took a quick step to the side as Spoke landed on the plataform before freezing for a moment the instant he grasped at her arm, the only movement being a flinch from the resurge of pain through it.
"It's fine," Wifies replied almost automatically, hand moving away from where it had instinctively reached for her axe.
Her eyes dragged themselves up to look at the voidling taking out his pickaxe, then behind her -- too close to the edge; Wifies moved farther from it, and closer to Spoke.
He hesitated, attempted to push away any pity towards the other.
"You could've just killed me yourself," she mumbled, "What even was your plan here?"
"I don't KNOW. I still don't remember what led up to this, and my head hurts every time I try to think." he snaps, pausing his mining for an instant to glare at her. "But since everything goes wrong no matter what I do, maybe I wanted to be in charge for once. Maybe I wanted to be the one giving the orders."
He's interrupted by the obsidian block breaking. He looks back at Wifies, truly recognizing him for the first time since he fell down. He suppresses a look of disgust. He crafts a trapdoor to crawl through the one-block hole, and starts mining a staircase up. The dark makes his headache a little better.
"What was your plan with blackmailing me? Was it worth it? You know, you remind me of someone." He doesn't elaborate, but the empty look in his eyes conveys it's not a good memory.
Her eyes squinted at him. Even if she was mildly confused, it only came off as demeaning.
Wifies knelt on the floor to follow after Spoke. She reminded herself he's the one getting them both out of the trap, although that didn't stop her from talking; she had a question to answer.
"You also remind me of someone. It doesn't matter." Her position was incredibly uncomfortable, and relying on only one arm to move in the tight space didn't help at all.
"I've heard a couple things about how you work in the server, and what you've done. I guess I didn't want to risk taking your little deal," Wifies admitted with a scoff. He felt like throwing up. "Backfired. How did you find out about the cloning?..."

Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.
@cyliu-the-farmer
Cyliu immediately hid her trepidation and Seemingly snapped into a completely different being hiding the empathetic side as she held her Scythe in her hands, Staring with lingering guilt as she lightly approached,
Her mind was spinning as She just made a slight approach to wifies at first, seemingly silent as she does, Her head Seemingly At war, She hopes Zam or anyone could forgive her for what she was about to do, before glancing at wifies then back to spoke

@spokeisthere
Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.

@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.

[Currently playing - The chase [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.

Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.

@spokeisthere
Too enraged to focus on anything else, Spoke ignores Wifies pillaring out of the trap.
He laughs in Cyliu's face, unable to control himself.
"You know nothing about me, you know nothing about guilt, and you don't know FUCK about my family. There's so much I wish I could tell you right now, Cy," he shouts. Suddenly, this situation feels all too familiar. The combination of trapping a player and thinking about Rose causes him to freeze for a second, before recovering.
"You don't even know why I didn't use dripstone in this trap," he continues, laughing again, bitterly. He knows Cy will have no idea what he means by that, but he doesn't particularly care. At this point, he's barely talking to Cy, it's as if he's talking to someone else entirely.
He quickly takes out his sword, lunging for her but not carefully enough to avoid hitting her shield. The sword bounces off harmlessly.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Once he ran out of wooden planks, Wifies scooted closer to the obsidian walls, leaning against them with his uninjured arm while he grasped at the bloodied cloth of his left sleeve. The sensation of the fresh blood made him grimace.
His eyes briefly trailed to look at Spoke and the other player, Cy, and the lack of organization was almost laughable.
He wondered if Spoke would be able to kill her, if he wanted to. Wifies felt no relief at Spoke's decision not to kill him quick.
Focusing back on the pillar, he placed whatever cobblestone blocks he had on his inventory, then a crafting table—metal hits something, and he turned to look at Spoke again. Fucking idiot.
Wifies stopped, took a quick glance at his inventory, then focused on the two players.

"Yeah, admit it. You know nothing about me. You don't even know about Ro--" he's cut off as the wind charge hits him, leaving him falling into the trap. The blood from his bloody nose trails behind him through the air as he falls. The obsidian floor of the trap collides with his head with an all-too-familiar sickening thud.
I'm glad I didn't make this out of dripstone, is the last thing he thinks before he blacks out.
A minute or so later, he wakes up, confused. A dull pain manifests all over his body, and he seems to be bleeding from somewhere, he can't tell. That can't be a good sign. He's not entirely sure where he is, other than in a trap of some sort. He looks up to see a player atop a pillar in the trap, who he doesn't recognize, and the distant figure the player who must have trapped him.
He checks his inventory, realizing he's also out of firework rockets. He has one enderpearl, a few wind charges, and a small amount of dirt blocks. He thinks for a second to throw the enderpearl or wind charge up, but he doesn't have enough wind charges and the enderpearl would only make it about halfway up. Besides, he can barely even stand. God, he's so dizzy.
He wonders to himself who the player on the pillar is. His name is on the tip of his tongue. He gives it a minute and then a vague memory comes to him.
"Wifies?" he shouts up to her, slurring his speech, before pausing for a second. "Wait no, Clonefies. What's going on?"
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies looked down at Spoke's unconscious body on the floor, then up at the rest of blocks he still had to pillar up to. He let out a sigh and turned to face Cy.
"Anything else?" She squinted his eyes at her, then turned around as he took out his pickaxe. "Don't accept jobs you know you won't finish."
He should start carrying more blocks. He began mining at the obsidian in the wall the best he could. If one squinted, you could see its body shaking.
A moment later, he instinctively peeked to where his name was being called. It seemed to take her a bit to process that Spoke was the one speaking.
Her eye twitched at the nickname.
"You—DO NOT call me that," Wifies snapped. She should start carrying a bow and arrows. Dripstone, even.
His glare lingered on Spoke for a couple seconds before he forced himself to look away, knuckles white from how tightly he was holding the pickaxe.

//Do with this what you wish
@spokeisthere
He tilts his head in confusion. He's half tempted to apologize, after all he's in a vulnerable situation, but being SpokeIsHere, he doesn't.
"Wait are you the real Wifies? I... don't remember how I got here, I don't know what's going on. It's weird, whoever made this trap didn't put any dripstone..." it's at this moment he realizes something: he is likely the only player on the server who wouldn't have put dripstone in a fall trap. It reminds him too much of Rose.
The combination of the concussion and thinking about her gives him a piercing headache. He winces in pain and closes his eyes. The world is too bright for him right now.
"What's going on?" He shouts up to Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She gave no reply to Cyliu, only watching as she got out of sight, footsteps and an extra noise that didn't go along with the rythm of her walk, but Wifies could not see what it was from where he was stuck, as curious as he was.
He seemed a lot less amused once he turned back at the one person left in the area, yet he couldn't help but feel concern; Spoke genuinely sounded lost.
"You know the answer to that," Her voice remained stern, although she hesitated right after.
"...Cy pushed you into your own trap." His hand lightly fidgeted with the pickaxe, fingers loosening up their grip as to not hold it as tightly as before.
"Fuck. Of course she did, why the hell did I trust her anyways?" he says, a little shakily.
"Can't do anything right." he mumbles, quietly enough Wifies can just barely hear, mostly directed at himself. He's still confused as to which Wifies he's talking to, but decides to drop the issue.
He manages to stand up, but he feels really off balance. He stands there for a moment, not wanting to risk enderpearling up to Wifies only to fall back down. He looks up briefly, which intensifies his headache, but he manages to get a good view of Wifies and her iron pickaxe. He considers it for a second before speaking again.
"I...I have a netherite pickaxe with efficiency. I can pearl up and help you mine, just give me a second. I can't stand up for too long" he sits back down, wiping the oil-colored blood off his nose and arm, which he now realizes are what's bleeding.
Her head tilted in interest, but no actual response came out her mouth.
It doesn't take him a while to notice the oil-blood Spoke bled, which made the body stiffen and look away from the sight.
Wifies broke the crafting table she stood on, then a couple planks. It could take Spoke long enough to recover for her to get out of the trap, but she didn't have that kind of luck, so she instead placed a plank in front of her and the other to her side for the area to be big enough for the two to stand on.
The items in her hand switched between several items sitting in the inventory, from the crafting table to an axe, to a couple currently useless items, then his shield, then nothing.
One of the elytra wings twitched as she waited for the voidling to pearl up.
After a minute or two he stands up again, trying to get a good footing to throw his enderpearl. His legs wobble a little, but he barely manages to land the throw.
"That was close..." a sudden wave of dizziness hits him, probably from the movement. He grabs onto Wifies for support. The blood from his arm smears onto his. After some hesitation, he apologizes for grabbing her.
"I'm... sorry." He isn't used to saying that. "I'm just... really, really dizzy."
He cringes a bit at the apology. Apologizing always felt weak to him, and he had desperately tried to avoid showing weakness ever since the mafia. Weakness gets beat out of you in the mafia. Weakness gets you hurt.
With that thought, the headache comes back again in full force, but he pushes through it. He gets out pickaxe and starts mining at the obsidian wall.
She took a quick step to the side as Spoke landed on the plataform before freezing for a moment the instant he grasped at her arm, the only movement being a flinch from the resurge of pain through it.
"It's fine," Wifies replied almost automatically, hand moving away from where it had instinctively reached for her axe.
Her eyes dragged themselves up to look at the voidling taking out his pickaxe, then behind her -- too close to the edge; Wifies moved farther from it, and closer to Spoke.
He hesitated, attempted to push away any pity towards the other.
"You could've just killed me yourself," she mumbled, "What even was your plan here?"
Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.
@cyliu-the-farmer
Cyliu immediately hid her trepidation and Seemingly snapped into a completely different being hiding the empathetic side as she held her Scythe in her hands, Staring with lingering guilt as she lightly approached,
Her mind was spinning as She just made a slight approach to wifies at first, seemingly silent as she does, Her head Seemingly At war, She hopes Zam or anyone could forgive her for what she was about to do, before glancing at wifies then back to spoke

[Currently playing Vs Susie - [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.
@cyliu-the-farmer

[Currently playing Abandon ship [Subnautica ] ]
@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy took a second to try and check the scratch upon her arm, Before chasing Wifies towards the trap Her scythe in her other hand Her other arm was throbbing as she switched the scythe to the other, arm, She Needed Wifies to fall for the trap but the stinging sensation was getting to her head, It's likely she'd be uncoordinated for this fight, Her morals are telling her to just stop chasing Wifies But her Nature to please her ally attempts to over power those morals
> In her head she asks herself The true question was this fight really worth the risk to her friends and family, Should she try and kill Wifies and Break her moral code, Or should she betray spoke,As the fight went on She couldn't tell anymore There was a compelling hatred festering within her soul, This situation felt too familiar, Too much like the mafia days, When her and Kaya had to run for their lives, She knew she'd be considered no better than the mafia for this...So why? why was she obeying Spoke's order to Kill?
[Currently playing - The chase [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.

@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.

Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.

@spokeisthere
He tilts his head in confusion. He's half tempted to apologize, after all he's in a vulnerable situation, but being SpokeIsHere, he doesn't.
"Wait are you the real Wifies? I... don't remember how I got here, I don't know what's going on. It's weird, whoever made this trap didn't put any dripstone..." it's at this moment he realizes something: he is likely the only player on the server who wouldn't have put dripstone in a fall trap. It reminds him too much of Rose.
The combination of the concussion and thinking about her gives him a piercing headache. He winces in pain and closes his eyes. The world is too bright for him right now.
"What's going on?" He shouts up to Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She gave no reply to Cyliu, only watching as she got out of sight, footsteps and an extra noise that didn't go along with the rythm of her walk, but Wifies could not see what it was from where he was stuck, as curious as he was.
He seemed a lot less amused once he turned back at the one person left in the area, yet he couldn't help but feel concern; Spoke genuinely sounded lost.
"You know the answer to that," Her voice remained stern, although she hesitated right after.
"...Cy pushed you into your own trap." His hand lightly fidgeted with the pickaxe, fingers loosening up their grip as to not hold it as tightly as before.
"Fuck. Of course she did, why the hell did I trust her anyways?" he says, a little shakily.
"Can't do anything right." he mumbles, quietly enough Wifies can just barely hear, mostly directed at himself. He's still confused as to which Wifies he's talking to, but decides to drop the issue.
He manages to stand up, but he feels really off balance. He stands there for a moment, not wanting to risk enderpearling up to Wifies only to fall back down. He looks up briefly, which intensifies his headache, but he manages to get a good view of Wifies and her iron pickaxe. He considers it for a second before speaking again.
"I...I have a netherite pickaxe with efficiency. I can pearl up and help you mine, just give me a second. I can't stand up for too long" he sits back down, wiping the oil-colored blood off his nose and arm, which he now realizes are what's bleeding.
Her head tilted in interest, but no actual response came out her mouth.
It doesn't take him a while to notice the oil-blood Spoke bled, which made the body stiffen and look away from the sight.
Wifies broke the crafting table she stood on, then a couple planks. It could take Spoke long enough to recover for her to get out of the trap, but she didn't have that kind of luck, so she instead placed a plank in front of her and the other to her side for the area to be big enough for the two to stand on.
The items in her hand switched between several items sitting in the inventory, from the crafting table to an axe, to a couple currently useless items, then his shield, then nothing.
One of the elytra wings twitched as she waited for the voidling to pearl up.
Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.

Cyliu immediately hid her trepidation and Seemingly snapped into a completely different being hiding the empathetic side as she held her Scythe in her hands, Staring with lingering guilt as she lightly approached,

Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.

[Currently playing Abandon ship [Subnautica ] ]
@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy took a second to try and check the scratch upon her arm, Before chasing Wifies towards the trap Her scythe in her other hand Her other arm was throbbing as she switched the scythe to the other, arm, She Needed Wifies to fall for the trap but the stinging sensation was getting to her head, It's likely she'd be uncoordinated for this fight, Her morals are telling her to just stop chasing Wifies But her Nature to please her ally attempts to over power those morals
> In her head she asks herself The true question was this fight really worth the risk to her friends and family, Should she try and kill Wifies and Break her moral code, Or should she betray spoke,As the fight went on She couldn't tell anymore There was a compelling hatred festering within her soul, This situation felt too familiar, Too much like the mafia days, When her and Kaya had to run for their lives, She knew she'd be considered no better than the mafia for this...So why? why was she obeying Spoke's order to Kill?
[Currently playing - The chase [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.
@cyliu-the-farmer
With the Bash to her head from the shield she stopped in her tracks a bit confused and disoriented She held her scythe, Hesitating to Slice Wifies, Their attempts to evade just continues to remind her of Kaya and Her trying to run from the mafia, She knew deep in her soul Kaya wouldn't approve of her trapping this player They had a life and friends on the server who'd likely Come back to haunt her for her actions
> Cy Holds her scythe More loose than before she can't bring herself to slice Wifies no matter how hard she tries, This task just... Keeps Causing her to fight her internal moral compass She hates Killing Why did she even agree to this ideal?, She knew That Killing Wifies or even hurting Wifies is just a great way to make more enemies than she needed
> Kaya watches from the trees nearby Her hands over her Mouth, Her eyes wide as she sees the scene play out
[Currently playing Mutiny [Epic the Musical] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy felt the scythe being taken from her loose grip, She watched in horror as Wifies fell into the trap before turning to face Spoke... Seemingly done with his shenanigans
"...Do you even realize what you have just done spoke?, Didn't you say They have ALLIES?!, IT ONLY TAKES A REASONABLE GUESS FOR THEIR ALLIES TO TRACK US DOWN YOU IDIOT, THIS WAS FAR TOO DANGEROUS...

[Currently playing The moon (Jonah Senzel)[Inscryption] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies slowly squinted his eyes as he listened to the two argue, mostly the gal. He then scoffed, letting his lungs sit in a lack of air as he glanced around before letting in a shaky breath.
He had some blocks in his inventory...Definitely not enough, given how deep the trap was, but it was that or trying to mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe.
Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu Gets off of Spoke silently, Her grip upon the scythe tightening as she hears spokes words, Why Should she listen to another word he says, She took far too much of a risk this time

> Currently playing : [Black knife (Deltarune) (Toby fox)]
@spokeisthere
Too enraged to focus on anything else, Spoke ignores Wifies pillaring out of the trap.
He laughs in Cyliu's face, unable to control himself.
"You know nothing about me, you know nothing about guilt, and you don't know FUCK about my family. There's so much I wish I could tell you right now, Cy," he shouts. Suddenly, this situation feels all too familiar. The combination of trapping a player and thinking about Rose causes him to freeze for a second, before recovering.
"You don't even know why I didn't use dripstone in this trap," he continues, laughing again, bitterly. He knows Cy will have no idea what he means by that, but he doesn't particularly care. At this point, he's barely talking to Cy, it's as if he's talking to someone else entirely.
He quickly takes out his sword, lunging for her but not carefully enough to avoid hitting her shield. The sword bounces off harmlessly.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Once he ran out of wooden planks, Wifies scooted closer to the obsidian walls, leaning against them with his uninjured arm while he grasped at the bloodied cloth of his left sleeve. The sensation of the fresh blood made him grimace.
His eyes briefly trailed to look at Spoke and the other player, Cy, and the lack of organization was almost laughable.
He wondered if Spoke would be able to kill her, if he wanted to. Wifies felt no relief at Spoke's decision not to kill him quick.
Focusing back on the pillar, he placed whatever cobblestone blocks he had on his inventory, then a crafting table—metal hits something, and he turned to look at Spoke again. Fucking idiot.
Wifies stopped, took a quick glance at his inventory, then focused on the two players.
@cyliu-the-farmer

@spokeisthere
"Yeah, admit it. You know nothing about me. You don't even know about Ro--" he's cut off as the wind charge hits him, leaving him falling into the trap. The blood from his bloody nose trails behind him through the air as he falls. The obsidian floor of the trap collides with his head with an all-too-familiar sickening thud.
I'm glad I didn't make this out of dripstone, is the last thing he thinks before he blacks out.
A minute or so later, he wakes up, confused. A dull pain manifests all over his body, and he seems to be bleeding from somewhere, he can't tell. That can't be a good sign. He's not entirely sure where he is, other than in a trap of some sort. He looks up to see a player atop a pillar in the trap, who he doesn't recognize, and the distant figure the player who must have trapped him.
He checks his inventory, realizing he's also out of firework rockets. He has one enderpearl, a few wind charges, and a small amount of dirt blocks. He thinks for a second to throw the enderpearl or wind charge up, but he doesn't have enough wind charges and the enderpearl would only make it about halfway up. Besides, he can barely even stand. God, he's so dizzy.
He wonders to himself who the player on the pillar is. His name is on the tip of his tongue. He gives it a minute and then a vague memory comes to him.
"Wifies?" he shouts up to her, slurring his speech, before pausing for a second. "Wait no, Clonefies. What's going on?"
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies looked down at Spoke's unconscious body on the floor, then up at the rest of blocks he still had to pillar up to. He let out a sigh and turned to face Cy.
"Anything else?" She squinted his eyes at her, then turned around as he took out his pickaxe. "Don't accept jobs you know you won't finish."
He should start carrying more blocks. He began mining at the obsidian in the wall the best he could. If one squinted, you could see its body shaking.
A moment later, he instinctively peeked to where his name was being called. It seemed to take her a bit to process that Spoke was the one speaking.
Her eye twitched at the nickname.
"You—DO NOT call me that," Wifies snapped. She should start carrying a bow and arrows. Dripstone, even.
His glare lingered on Spoke for a couple seconds before he forced himself to look away, knuckles white from how tightly he was holding the pickaxe.

> Cy took a second to try and check the scratch upon her arm, Before chasing Wifies towards the trap Her scythe in her other hand Her other arm was throbbing as she switched the scythe to the other, arm, She Needed Wifies to fall for the trap but the stinging sensation was getting to her head, It's likely she'd be uncoordinated for this fight, Her morals are telling her to just stop chasing Wifies But her Nature to please her ally attempts to over power those morals
> In her head she asks herself The true question was this fight really worth the risk to her friends and family, Should she try and kill Wifies and Break her moral code, Or should she betray spoke,As the fight went on She couldn't tell anymore There was a compelling hatred festering within her soul, This situation felt too familiar, Too much like the mafia days, When her and Kaya had to run for their lives, She knew she'd be considered no better than the mafia for this...So why? why was she obeying Spoke's order to Kill?
[Currently playing - The chase [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.

[Currently playing Mutiny [Epic the Musical] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy felt the scythe being taken from her loose grip, She watched in horror as Wifies fell into the trap before turning to face Spoke... Seemingly done with his shenanigans
"...Do you even realize what you have just done spoke?, Didn't you say They have ALLIES?!, IT ONLY TAKES A REASONABLE GUESS FOR THEIR ALLIES TO TRACK US DOWN YOU IDIOT, THIS WAS FAR TOO DANGEROUS...

> Cyliu Then Immediately backs up from spoke before charging into a tackle to Try and pry her scythe from Spoke's hand
[Currently playing The moon (Jonah Senzel)[Inscryption] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies slowly squinted his eyes as he listened to the two argue, mostly the gal. He then scoffed, letting his lungs sit in a lack of air as he glanced around before letting in a shaky breath.
He had some blocks in his inventory...Definitely not enough, given how deep the trap was, but it was that or trying to mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe.
Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu Gets off of Spoke silently, Her grip upon the scythe tightening as she hears spokes words, Why Should she listen to another word he says, She took far too much of a risk this time
"...You know what...?!, No spoke I won't Take what I said back, You more powerful players always act like You'll get away with everything you all do on this server then come begging Others to take the blame for you... You have no idea what the average players go through on a daily basis trying to survive, You have not a God damn clue about the guilt that sticks with you because of what you were forced to do,Hell...Being your Ally is just Risking my Family and Friends"
> The Rabbit's voice rings out as she gets ready to defend herself incase spoke attacks which She'll attempt to shove him away Unknowingly pushing Spoke into the very trap they built together
> Currently playing : [Black knife (Deltarune) (Toby fox)]
@spokeisthere
Too enraged to focus on anything else, Spoke ignores Wifies pillaring out of the trap.
He laughs in Cyliu's face, unable to control himself.
"You know nothing about me, you know nothing about guilt, and you don't know FUCK about my family. There's so much I wish I could tell you right now, Cy," he shouts. Suddenly, this situation feels all too familiar. The combination of trapping a player and thinking about Rose causes him to freeze for a second, before recovering.
"You don't even know why I didn't use dripstone in this trap," he continues, laughing again, bitterly. He knows Cy will have no idea what he means by that, but he doesn't particularly care. At this point, he's barely talking to Cy, it's as if he's talking to someone else entirely.
He quickly takes out his sword, lunging for her but not carefully enough to avoid hitting her shield. The sword bounces off harmlessly.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Once he ran out of wooden planks, Wifies scooted closer to the obsidian walls, leaning against them with his uninjured arm while he grasped at the bloodied cloth of his left sleeve. The sensation of the fresh blood made him grimace.
His eyes briefly trailed to look at Spoke and the other player, Cy, and the lack of organization was almost laughable.
He wondered if Spoke would be able to kill her, if he wanted to. Wifies felt no relief at Spoke's decision not to kill him quick.
Focusing back on the pillar, he placed whatever cobblestone blocks he had on his inventory, then a crafting table—metal hits something, and he turned to look at Spoke again. Fucking idiot.
Wifies stopped, took a quick glance at his inventory, then focused on the two players.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cyliu Quickly switches from her shield to Her Scythe after Spoke Collided with her Shield Her Demeanor shifting As she processes His attempts at Attacking her

@spokeisthere
"Yeah, admit it. You know nothing about me. You don't even know about Ro--" he's cut off as the wind charge hits him, leaving him falling into the trap. The blood from his bloody nose trails behind him through the air as he falls. The obsidian floor of the trap collides with his head with an all-too-familiar sickening thud.
I'm glad I didn't make this out of dripstone, is the last thing he thinks before he blacks out.
A minute or so later, he wakes up, confused. A dull pain manifests all over his body, and he seems to be bleeding from somewhere, he can't tell. That can't be a good sign. He's not entirely sure where he is, other than in a trap of some sort. He looks up to see a player atop a pillar in the trap, who he doesn't recognize, and the distant figure the player who must have trapped him.
He checks his inventory, realizing he's also out of firework rockets. He has one enderpearl, a few wind charges, and a small amount of dirt blocks. He thinks for a second to throw the enderpearl or wind charge up, but he doesn't have enough wind charges and the enderpearl would only make it about halfway up. Besides, he can barely even stand. God, he's so dizzy.
He wonders to himself who the player on the pillar is. His name is on the tip of his tongue. He gives it a minute and then a vague memory comes to him.
"Wifies?" he shouts up to her, slurring his speech, before pausing for a second. "Wait no, Clonefies. What's going on?"
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies looked down at Spoke's unconscious body on the floor, then up at the rest of blocks he still had to pillar up to. He let out a sigh and turned to face Cy.
"Anything else?" She squinted his eyes at her, then turned around as he took out his pickaxe. "Don't accept jobs you know you won't finish."
He should start carrying more blocks. He began mining at the obsidian in the wall the best he could. If one squinted, you could see its body shaking.
A moment later, he instinctively peeked to where his name was being called. It seemed to take her a bit to process that Spoke was the one speaking.
Her eye twitched at the nickname.
"You—DO NOT call me that," Wifies snapped. She should start carrying a bow and arrows. Dripstone, even.
His glare lingered on Spoke for a couple seconds before he forced himself to look away, knuckles white from how tightly he was holding the pickaxe.
@cyliu-the-farmer
Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.
@cyliu-the-farmer
Cyliu immediately hid her trepidation and Seemingly snapped into a completely different being hiding the empathetic side as she held her Scythe in her hands, Staring with lingering guilt as she lightly approached,
Her mind was spinning as She just made a slight approach to wifies at first, seemingly silent as she does, Her head Seemingly At war, She hopes Zam or anyone could forgive her for what she was about to do, before glancing at wifies then back to spoke

[Currently playing Vs Susie - [Deltarune] ]
@spokeisthere
Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.
@cyliu-the-farmer

[Currently playing Abandon ship [Subnautica ] ]
@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.

Her mind was spinning as She just made a slight approach to wifies at first, seemingly silent as she does, Her head Seemingly At war, She hopes Zam or anyone could forgive her for what she was about to do, before glancing at wifies then back to spoke

@spokeisthere
Wifies's comment about his own actions doesn't exactly catch him off guard. He gets that a lot. He certainly doesn't appreciate the reminder of his guilt, but he shows no response.
"You really shouldn't be antagonizing me right now, Wifies. I'll ask one more time, do you have anything to say for yourself?" he says in a slightly sing-songy voice. With the position of power he saw himself in, he was regaining his confidence.
He gave Cy a small nod, egging her on.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies inmediately focused on the person as she came closer, dismissing whatever Spoke had said, his free hand grasping his shield and setting it forward to cover himself.
Breathe in, breathe out. He had to focus. His eyes do their best to not break contact, though they switch to look at the other's scythe constantly.
He takes the bunny's brief distraction to further move backwards.

> Cyliu Attempts to approach and slice at Wifies, Her scythe connecting with the shield As a warning?, She knew what she was doing, Especially right then, She needed Wifies to run towards the trap so She hopes the scythe making contact with the shield will make Wifies run, Her Braided Dandelion and White hair flow within the wind as she stares at Wifies blankly

@spokeisthere
Everything is finally going to plan, for the first time in a while. Spoke smiles. He's tempted to gloat a little, but he doesn't want to distract Cy.
Spoke considers for a bit how he'll help Cy. He locks eyes with Wifies for a second before bowing her from a distance, using a punch bow to push her towards the trap.
The scythe easily collided against his shield, not to his relief.
Wifies swung the sword at her, merely scratching somewhere across her arm. She could've definitely hit him beforehand, why hadn't she? What were they—
His eyes met with Spoke's. He attempted to move away from the arrow headed towards it—not quick enough; his sword drops on the ground and his body is pushed backwards as an intense pain nestled throughout his arm.
Wifies bit back a whine and ran.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy took a second to try and check the scratch upon her arm, Before chasing Wifies towards the trap Her scythe in her other hand Her other arm was throbbing as she switched the scythe to the other, arm, She Needed Wifies to fall for the trap but the stinging sensation was getting to her head, It's likely she'd be uncoordinated for this fight, Her morals are telling her to just stop chasing Wifies But her Nature to please her ally attempts to over power those morals
> In her head she asks herself The true question was this fight really worth the risk to her friends and family, Should she try and kill Wifies and Break her moral code, Or should she betray spoke,As the fight went on She couldn't tell anymore There was a compelling hatred festering within her soul, This situation felt too familiar, Too much like the mafia days, When her and Kaya had to run for their lives, She knew she'd be considered no better than the mafia for this...So why? why was she obeying Spoke's order to Kill?

@spokeisthere
Spoke can sense Cyliu's trepidation. His smile drops as he realizes she might not actually go through with it, but he knows he has a backup plan. It's certainly less convenient, and it might cost him a good ally, but it is what it is. He holds his enderpearl in preparation; it would allow him to teleport so he can intervene in the action.
"Do it!" Spoke shouts to Cy as Wifies runs over the trap. He fidgets nervously, waiting to see what will happen.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies ran as fast as he could, attempting to hold its injured arm close to himself. Every movement made the burning sensation worse. It almost felt like a dream.
The woman would definitely catch up, and he wished he could explode before either of them managed to get to him first—What a stupid thought. He was an idiot for having gotten into this.
Spoke yelled in the distance and he couldn't get himself to figure out what was said, his head only vaguely turning to the sound.
He halted in a heartbeat, legs clumsily spinning around, trying not to make him trip. Wifies raised his shield and bashed it against the assassin's head.
@cyliu-the-farmer
With the Bash to her head from the shield she stopped in her tracks a bit confused and disoriented She held her scythe, Hesitating to Slice Wifies, Their attempts to evade just continues to remind her of Kaya and Her trying to run from the mafia, She knew deep in her soul Kaya wouldn't approve of her trapping this player They had a life and friends on the server who'd likely Come back to haunt her for her actions
> Cy Holds her scythe More loose than before she can't bring herself to slice Wifies no matter how hard she tries, This task just... Keeps Causing her to fight her internal moral compass She hates Killing Why did she even agree to this ideal?, She knew That Killing Wifies or even hurting Wifies is just a great way to make more enemies than she needed

@spokeisthere
Spoke sighs. He has to go through with the backup plan. He throws the enderpearl precisely, landing just to the right of Cy.
"I told you to do it." Spoke tries to sound intimidating, but in reality he sounds more like a petulant child whose playmates wouldn't do as he demanded.
Abruptly, the voidling grabs the scythe from Cy's insecure grasp. Before either of them can react, he slashes Wifies's arm, triggering the trap. As the ground opens up beneath Wifies, Spoke shoves her forward for good measure.
Spoke watches Wifies fall with a feverish smile.
@smallandsmallandunseen
She stumbled and yelped at the blinding hot pain in its arm, barely processing the noise under its feet—then Spoke pushed him, and he could swear his vision whited out the moment he hit the ground.
Its legs kick at the floor, scrambling away from where Spoke and the other were, at least until his back pressed against a wall.
They'd made a trap for him, and the anger in his chest was too far from him to grasp.
Wifies swallowed and held in its breath, if only for a moment, as its fingers shakily wrapped and added pressure onto its limp arm before he pushed himself up—too fast. She kept pressing her back against the wall, elytra wings spread out at an attempt for balance while his eyes illustrated stars around him for a couple seconds.
His left sleeve was a mix of dark reds and black between the usual purple. Wifies couldn't help but gag at the sight and the arrow still sticking out, bloodied hand relaxing and moving back to its side, although lightly touching the wall instead of it going limp.
She looked up at the duo.
@cyliu-the-farmer
> Cy felt the scythe being taken from her loose grip, She watched in horror as Wifies fell into the trap before turning to face Spoke... Seemingly done with his shenanigans
"...Do you even realize what you have just done spoke?, Didn't you say They have ALLIES?!, IT ONLY TAKES A REASONABLE GUESS FOR THEIR ALLIES TO TRACK US DOWN YOU IDIOT, THIS WAS FAR TOO DANGEROUS... Ugh I'm done with following this stupid plan, You don't know what it's like to be constantly told to Kill another person on this server DO YOU?!, WELL NEWS FLASH BUDDY?!, I LIVED THROUGH THE VERY SCENARIO OF BEING IN THREAT OF DEATH, WHY DO YOU THINK I HESITATED SO MUCH TO ATTACK?, IT'S BECAUSE THEY REMINDED ME TOO MUCH OF MY OWN STRUGGLES, I CAN BARELY EVEN STOP FEELING GUILTY FOR JUST DEFENSIVELY KILLING SOMEONE, HOW ON EARTH DO YOU EXPECT ME TO KILL SOMEONE LIKE THAT?"
> The Rabbit's tone grew to be increasingly shaky and pained as she shouts at spoke, She cannot deal with the guilt of killing another person, Morally She knew she couldn't Ever try and Kill wifies, So in a Fit of Rage?, Or maybe just A response to everything she Immediately Throws a left hook at the voidlings face [AvA style punch to the voidling if thats fine]
> Cyliu Then Immediately backs up from spoke before charging into a tackle to Try and pry her scythe from Spoke's hand
[Currently playing The moon (Jonah Senzel)[Inscryption] ]
@spokeisthere
Spoke falls to the ground, tackled, his nose bleeding from the punch.
"You can have your scythe back... get off me." Spoke lets the scythe fall from his grasp, his smile fading as Cy's words trigger something in him.
"I don't know what it's like to be forced to kill a player? I don't know what it's like to feel guilt? You have no idea. ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. We can still be allies, Cy, if you take that back." he shouts, struggling against Cy's tackle.
In the chaos, Spoke doesn't think to check if Wifies survived the fall.
@smallandsmallandunseen
Wifies slowly squinted his eyes as he listened to the two argue, mostly the gal. He then scoffed, letting his lungs sit in a lack of air as he glanced around before letting in a shaky breath.
He had some blocks in his inventory...Definitely not enough, given how deep the trap was, but it was that or trying to mine obsidian with an iron pickaxe.
Painfully—if he were a puppet, he swore his arm would've fallen off by now, but he had to be quick—Wifies reequipped his elytra. If they pushed him back down, he could at least glide this time.
He did his best to ignore the sensation of anger building up on his throat, now that he'd actually managed to process what had just happened, attempting to focus on getting himself to a corner, still as away from the duo as he could, and start pillaring up with wooden planks.
@cyliu-the-farmer
Spoke and Cy stand outside Wifies's house, waiting for her come home. They had prepared a trap nearby, set to be triggered when Cy hits someone with her scythe. After a couple of hours of waiting, Wifies arrives home.
"Wifies, Wifies, Wifies... do you have anything to say for yourself?" he seems a bit more serious than usual, and slightly nervous based on his last encounter with Wifies.
@smallandsmallandunseen @cyliu-the-farmer
The elyta's wings pressed close against his back, eyes fixated on Spoke and a someone he didn't recognize.
Wifies opened his mouth to speak, stopping himself before any words came out—of course Planet would be the one to tell them, no one else knew where he lived, but he knew he couldn't be angry at him.
The one in front of him, on the other hand,
"What do you want, Spoke?" He unsheathed his sword, albeit not daring to move any closer. Seems he still wouldn't be able to rest even if he was home. "We closed our deal, I didn't touch your family at all."
Cyliu's mind continues to fight against itself Seeing Wifies answering the door, She knew there was no going back now, But She was surprised to hear the family threat was true, She was really hoping that was just a misunderstanding but it turned out to be true...
She held her Scythe not towards the player yet but to the side, Seemingly wondering if what she was doing was right, Would she still be the same person who swore not to kill? all those years ago?, Surely she wouldn't attack a random player for no reason right?,But why? why did she feel like she was backed into a corner?

[ I feel like the song fits rn?]
@spokeisthere
"Wifies. You blackmailed me. Don't act all innocent. It's thanks to players like you that I have to uproot their lives and hide them away on the furthest reaches of the server." His tone was scathing, almost incredulous.
He sensed a bit of trepidation coming from Cy, so he gave her a look.
"Remember what he's done" he whispered to her, just out of earshot of Wifies.
She glared at him. "I've heard about the things you do. You're not innocent, either."
His eyes trailed to look at the person besides Spoke. Wifies wondered if it was someone from his family.
He can tell, however, that they would be the one doing Spoke's supposed job, and he can't help but start feeling uneasy at the thought of their scythe against his neck.
Wifies checked his inventory, even if he already knew—no fireworks left. They had to be fucking kidding him.
She stepped backwards, again looking at the two. He had to trust he would be able to get away from them.
