#rotigexe

yes, he died once fighting his worst enemy (you will never guess who that is :3)

canon rotigexe is actually 7 ft tall...

also don't mind the uh... "souls" exp thing, that's just... uh...

Where is this, really...?

[Chatter can be heard in the background.]

...?

[Something tells him to approach the sounds.]

[And so he does.]

[Two children-]

[... No. One is definitely an adult...]

... Hmm...?

[So unfortunate, however...]

[His footsteps were heard.]

"Look, Frin!"

"Bonnie, you should really stop straying away like-"

"What the...?"

...?

[He and the two of them stared at each other.]

"That's a Sadness!"

"Where... where did a Sadness even come from...?"

...?

[No matter what... he just couldn't speak up...]

"Huh, it's not doing anything...?"

"Just be careful, Bonnie. I'm gonna take this one down."

No.

[He tensed up. He has nothing else to defend himself with.]

[His claws are gone, and-]

[... He still has magic.]

{??? charges up...}

"It's charging something!"

"... It doesn't matter."

{Siffrin used Buy One Get One Three!}

...!

{IMMUNE 0}

{IMMUNE 0}

*rustle...*

[He continues to walk, and further.]

[The path led to an open field...]

...?

Is this a... town?

[Indeed, a town is just ahead.]

[Where he's standing on is an empty field.]

I...

Maybe I should go and see.

[He walks into the town.]

[And... there are people there.]

[What did ya expect?]

...

[People... started to look at him.]

[... Giving strange looks...]

[Confused glances...]

[He didn't really mind, and just walked into the town.]

[His... black glow gave off a strange vibe.]

[A vibe... that made some back off.]

[He can feel it too...]

[... He shouldn't have wandered THIS far.]

[Most activities have stopped.]

[Everyone... just looks at him, trying to ignore him...]

[He looks around... perplexed.]

[He doesn't know if he should say anything...]

[But then...]

"HEY!"

[He turns to the source of the sound, slowly.]

... It's them...?

[Oh yeah, that's the entire party of ISaT... you might want to already know this by now lol so here]

(im bad at building suspense)

Isa: Did it... did a Sadness just really ended up here???

Odile: That's... strange? How are there STILL Sadnesses?

Mirabelle: We... we should still be careful. That thing looks... scary.

... A thing.

[How painful that is!]

[To be called something you aren't!]

[You aren't a thing, you are...]

... I...

Bonnie: It's just standing there... I'm not sure...

Siffrin: It's a Sadness. We should be doing something about it.

[He spoke up, but his voice was... too quiet to ever be heard.]

[He just wants to clear himself.]

[WHY IS IT BECOMING SO HARD TO SPEAK]

{Battle begin!}

...!

(https://youtu.be/pGvIAWayrw?si=QbKMv_R6zSL8HXHy)

[A new battle.]

[He... he doesn't want this.]

[Yet... he has nowhere else to run.]

[He... cannot flee.]

... stop... I...

[Blurred voice in their chatter.]

{Siffrin used Make Up The Time!}

{The party gets Fast.}

[At this point, he doesn't even want to hurt them.]

[But... what else can he do?]

{??? regains composure.}

...

[He still cannot speak.]

{Odile used Examine!}

Odile: Alright. What we're working here is a... very strange Sadness, at least, that is what I assume.

Odile: There's no hand signs on it, so we will have to take a few attacks to know its weakness.

Odile: I do have a strange sense that's it's not very strong, though.

{Odile used Paper III!}

{WEAK! 389}

[... He feels helpless...]

[... But... his mind thought of something...]

...!

{??? regains composure.}

{??? approaches the group.}

Isa: Uh... what is it doing?

Mirabelle: I think it's attacking...!

{Isabeau used YOUR TURN!!! on Odile!}

Mirabelle: Hit it with a Paper Craft!

Odile: I already know what to do.

{Odile used Paper α V!}

[The Craft instantly hit him back hard.]

{WEAK! 583}

...!

[He collapsed to the floor, barely holding himself up.]

[He is CLEARLY weakened...]

{??? regains composure.}

Siffrin: ... oh.

Odile: It seems to be pretty weak to Paper Craft. It's already down in two spells.

Bonnie: Hey! I wanna hit it!

Isa: Sure thing! It's been long since you actually fought!

Mirabelle: Might as well...!

{??? regains... composure.}

{Bonnie attacks!}

[He stood up and dove backwards to dodge the kid's pan.]

{MISSED...}

...!

[He finally got his voice back.]

Get... away...!

Siffrin: !

Isa: !

Odile: !?!?

Mirabelle: I-IT CAN SPEAK!?

[The hatted person looked at him in confusion.]

[The kid, known as Bonnie, is also greatly confused...]

"Hey Frin... maybe you should start dodging. I think it's gonna attack!"

[No matter what, he seems to be unable to control his beam.]

{??? used CONCENTRATION OF HATRED!}

{RESIST 529}

"OUCH!"

"FRIN!"

Oh.

[He suddenly saw more people coming in.]

"Siffrin! What's going on?!", a voice of a girl rang out.

"I swear if he gets into trouble again...", and a voice of an old woman.

I shouldn't be...

{??? fled.}

[...]

... This is strange.

[He said to himself, calmly, but...]

[He couldn't shake off whatever that was...]

...

[He looked at himself once more.]

[The smoke from his hands.]

[The aftermath of the beam.]

There are... a lot to take in...

What is happening?

This world... so strange.

[He's speechless.]

[Yet... something urges him to explore more.]

[And so, he returned to where he ran away.]

Good... no one here.

[Suddenly, he remembers something.]

[He was called a... "Sadness".]

[What does that mean?]

[Glances after glances...]

[He can't even understand himself here.]

reaching the limit,

breaking the limit

sanity away it goes,

emotions reign over you,

everyone is a foe

even friends and family

the same, the same, the same,

again, again, again,

over and over and over and... over...

scrambled mind,

screaming urge to end

body so disposable,

how many times have you pointed that dagger,

and told yourself: "i need to die"?!?!

you've hurt them,

and you've hurt yourself

"it's all my fault, IT'S ALL MY FAULT"

...

you have gone insane,

yet the will never dies

giving up, you thought,

why don't do it already...?

and yet...

you pushed through

stubborn,

strong-willed,

so foolish,

A new world,

A new adventure.

My eyes, dilate,

Colorless landscape

Must this be a dream,

Or was it fate,

Befallen onto me?

A "Sadness"?

Prithee, was I qualified,

To ever be such a monster?

I do not harm,

The works of this world,

Contorted me,

"HELP HE IS GONNA FILL MY MOUTH WITH HIS POTASSIUM"

"I won. Roti is fucked."

"Did Exegitor stuff a banana in rotis mouth?"

"Yes I did."
