Todd sighed. "Already recruited three-fourths of Team RWBY. And I think Forsaken has recruited Evan and his friends. We might be able to get some of her characters in on the war..... I just pray that we don't have casualties..." the warlock offered.
-
"Any and all help is appreciated. Heck the fact you haven't backed out yet seeing what happened on the mountian.... is a miracle in my mind," Forsaken offered. "You've been helpful more than you know."

"I hate to think of it honestly, but yeah, we've been kinda doing that already, whether we like it or not... Along with 3/4ths of Team RWBY, we've also found the cast from Undertale. And like I said before, we ran into gender bender versions of ourselves. Specifically a male version of me, the male version of Eevee, and a female version of Todd. I also ran into a male version of Petra too, but god knows where HE is right now...."
Erin let out a breath and further considered everything. "Honestly, I hate the idea of bringing in other people into our war with Clockwork, but unless we can figure out how to topple this guy's ability to steal our powers and hop through time and space, we don't have a lot of options... I'm considering trying to make gear that could conceivably work outside of our games rules, but the problem there in is finding the recipe, if it exists, and then locating the materials for it." She notes the looks. "Well, I mean for all of his cheating, Clockwork still functions within the rules of the game... If we could find some way to exploit that then... Maybe..."

"Well... I'm glad to hear that. I really am," Evan replied with a low voice and a gentle smile. He paused to eat, then continued, "I don't know what role I'm supposed to play in this whole scenario. It feels like half of the forces around me are trying to tell me that I'm a pariah, that I'm out of my league... while the other half is saying that I'm supposed to be here, perhaps for reasons I haven't even figured out yet. Whatever the case is... like I said... all I care about is helping you guys out. If that means fighting by your side or just offering my support, so be it."
His eyes flicked towards the little box and back again. He took another bite of his sandwich, then he awkwardly asked, "So... you know how long until they let ya go?"

"Well, to be blunt," Vitt said. "I really don't care who you guys drag in, so long as they can handle themselves. And."
She repeatedly pounded her fist into her palm. "I don't give a flying fuck about any collateral damage- well except you guys obviously- we sustain. This... This... coglione... He hurt Eevee. That's enough for me to make him kill him."
Her tone returned to being light, even though the malice was still clearly present in her voice. "Just tell Eevee how she wants that fucker killed and I'll have it done."

Todd sighed. "Vitt... Clockwork didn't injure Eve... a troll did. Specifically a male version of Siri," he offered.
-
"Tomorrow. Just in time for my birthday," Forsaken offered. "I just hope that Weiss and Ruby didn't go too crazy with arranging out room while I was out..."

Erin let out a breath at this statement and the animosity building in Vitt's expression. That had been true... But... "from what Eevee told us, Male!Siri's stabbing could've probably sorta saved her. He was trying ta kill her but ended up just stoppin' whatever the hell Clockwork started by face raping her."
The girl growled and shook her head. "We'll make male!Siri pay later, for now let's focus on the more OBVIOUS problem."

"O-Oh! It's your birthday too?" Evan asked, a sort of dumbfounded chuckle escaping him as he spoke. "Well gee, wish I'd known that; I woulda done something for you too. Y'know, besides bring you a sandwich. Heheh. Well... regardless, happy birthday."
After swallowing the last bite of his sandwich, Evan reached for the little box, stopping halfway and pulling his arm back. "S-So, uh..."

"Well, yeah," Vitt said, drawing what appeared to be a blue frying pan. "Male Siri's going to pay. Preferably in blood and broken bones." The fact that she was able to keep a calm tone even as she pounded the pan onto her palm and likely imagining a horrible demise for the culprit was rather unnverving.
"But this Clockwork fucker's the bigger issue," she continued. "He fucked up Eevee, and killed a bunch of people... Even if there's too many versions of us, that's still wrong. I don't care for the casualties unless they're any of you... But just tell me how we can kill this fucker. I'm kind of eager for this really..."

Todd sighed calmly. "You aren't alone in that endeavour, Vitt. Trust us on that. Though I think Ray called hitting him in the nads if he has any," he offered.
-
"It's tomorrow Hufflepuff. Not today. And if you want, you and Swift could come hang out and play board games or something," she offered calmly. "Heck we could crank up some Panic and just sing along for the heck of it."

Erin let out a sigh and started rubbing her chin, thinking up some considerations for the problem at large... "Along with finding new people, restarting a nearby session, getting some new gear and climbing the Echeladder, we really don't have much of a plan yet... We're gonna need to work one up while we're playing toward our final end goal; destroying Clockwork." She takes a moment to examine her two friends as she continued. "The first step is to think up how to fight AROUND Clockwork's time-traveling and Space warping abilities. So long as he TSI's and Petra's powers, we're at a bit of a disadvantage... And that's not even counting the fact that this asshole can use our fraymotifs..."
.... "Honestly, I'm open to ideas on that front."

"Well, mine was yesterday. Nothing wrong with celebrating whenever the heck we want," Evan happily mused, beaming at Forsaken's offer. "I'd like that."
He leaned on his knees and stared at the little box again. "I suppose I may as well address the elephant in the room..."

"Well, this is kind of a problem. The last thing we need is that fuckwad casting Light Em Up on us and nuking us all out of existence..."
She pounded her fist into her palm, before Vitt brought her hand through her messy hair. "Dammit. It's gonna take either some big good person or a massive- I'm talking billions, tops- zerg rush..."
The light was clearly frustrated as she continued to run her fingers through her hair, mussing it up even more.

"Zerg rushing? Guess we're past pulling a Leeroy Jenkins then," Todd offered before crickets chirped. "We can try to gather counterparts from the dream bubbles.... Not sure if that's a good idea or not though..."
His eyes drifted down the hall where Evelyn and Forsaken were.
---
"Go on an open it. And yes it's technically for Swift... At least from what my Evan had told me. That little box has survived a lot," Forsaken offered.

.... Erin let out a groan as she considered the option. "Well... It's not like the ghosts lot in life can get THAT MUCH WORSE, SO... That COULD be a viable option??? I dunno, it seems like a bit of a dick move pulling them back into the same craziness that killed em...." The Kunoichi was still considering it however. With what few options they actually had, the idea of getting ghost selves to help in the battle would likely lead to less of a mess then pulling in a bunch of still warm bodies for a similar slaughter.
She liked Yang and the other members of RWBY, but they didn't really know what they were getting themselves into... Sure Yang had a better idea then most, what with her previous encounter with Clockwork... But Clockwork was just one REALLY TITANIC thing in a whole UNIVERSE of fucked up problems. "I guess the idea has merit... But let's not try it yet... Once the game restarts again, we'll have access to our stat screens again. We can get a look at whether or not we can grow any stronger... Plus given the kind of world we're in, we still haven't found anything yet that could potentially be a good recipe for new weapons or armor... We'll need to keep our eyes open for that kind of thing..."

Evan did a double take, very openly startled by the reveal of who the gift was really for. "S-Swift...?"
A little black box... from his old self... for Swift...
Oh God... She wasn't saying that...
In a fit of blind panic, Evan snatched the velvety box, ripped off the bow, and quickly calmed down enough to gently lift the lid. He had to know... He had to be sure that the worst case scenario hadn't happened...
"H......"
The air escaped his lungs rapidly yet silently, like the chilling hush of death itself, as he stared down at the ring. A shimmering gold band, tiny flecks of diamond lining it, an intricately-cut two-carat diamond adorned atop it, glistening white with the faintest twinkles of every color of the rainbow...
...........................
......................................................
.................................................................................
This... really confirmed it, didn't it? His alternate self, the one who lost everything to the cruel twist of fate that was Sburb... he had really and truly lost everything, hadn't he? To think that he had been so close to starting the life he wanted... a life shared with the girl who was his entire world... to have it all taken away in one fell swoop before it could truly begin... it was the worst pain of all. Knowing what could have been. Believing he would never get it back. And to know that he had so openly committed to playing this game, not knowing the suffering that would result from his decision...
Seeing this little ring... knowing the circumstances surrounding it... it utterly destroyed Evan inside.
...........................
Never again...
...........................
He didn't even notice the tears streaming down his face.
