"... The way I see it, the ones in the bubbles are living pretty meaningless existences. Including- no, especially my own counterparts. If it's cruel to send them into the meat grinder, isn't it also cruel to let them continue to exist with no purpose in life?"
Well, now that it was actually out, it sounded even colder, Vitt admitted to herself. "Call me a tyrant if you want. I'll take it as a compliment. But... we need to see Eevee. I need to see her."
Knock knock.
Open.
"... Evelyn."

"Easy Vitt. Eevee might be resting," Todd offered. He knew how cold Vitt's comment sounded. "Also not all of us hate our counterparts, Vitt. That is strictly a you thing. I get along with Forsaken, the one that Evan went to see, and Beth just fine."

Forsaken offered a tissue to Evan. "I'm sorry this brings up terrible thoughts...." she apologized.

Erin wanders in next, gently poking her head in.... "Eevee? You okay to see another guest? Vit just got here! She wants to say hi and make sure you're okay." She hoped that would be plenty indication what was likely gonna happen. After all, Vitt tended to get testy when impatient.

Evan slowly looked up at Forsaken, accepting the tissue and dabbing his eyes before directing his gaze back onto the diamond ring. A sad smile and a heavy, airy chuckle escaped him. "D-Don't be sorry. I love it. It's just..." His smile slowly dropped back into a frown. His thumb stroked the velvet case. "I just wish you didn't have to... wait until I came around... to see this thing put to use."
He closed the case, shutting the ring away from the world. He clutched it in both hands, holding it to his chest. All he needed to do now was tuck it into his sylladex, and it didn't take long for him to find the right song to lock it with...
"With the bite of the teeth of that ring on my finger
I'm bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer"
The box disappeared, sealed inside his inventory. Back into the sylladex once utilized by the man who held that ring before him. Fitting. Evan turned back to Forsaken, mustering a small grin again. "But... thank you. I won't let it go to waste. Maybe now we can-"
Evan then jumped and faced the door. What was that noise...?
---------------------------
"Mm...?" Evelyn's eyes cracked open, her face half-buried in her pillow. While her vision adjusted, she slowly sat up and rubbed her nose, both clearing away some congestion and confirming that she currently wasn't wearing a feeding tube. Exhaustion was evident in her weary face and sluggish movements, but still she picked herself up, responding to the voices at her door.
Erin was back. Todd was visible in the background. But front and center... Vitt?
Evelyn's heavy eyes widened, bringing her to full attention. Vitt was here. She knew the knight had made it to the island, but to see her standing right there took the rogue by surprise. For a moment, she was too stymied to speak, merely staring at her teammate with hushed, reserved shock, letting Vitt's presence really sink in.
After a while, Evelyn finally mustered an appropriate response...
"WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE, ALMIGHTY, FUDGE-COATED SAM HILL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!!"

"... Checking on you."
Vitt's eyes narrowed slightly at the volume and tone behind her lenses, glad for their thickness. (One thing going god tier didn't fix, apparently) She walked up to the rogue's bed, stopping inches away, frowning at the state Evelyn was in. "Am I not allowed to be concerned for my teammate and friend? Or am I required to maintain some distance?" She let out a sigh. "I was worried. ... Don't give me that look. I'm just as human as the rest of you."

Todd sighed as he looked between the girls. "I think she's asking because you're kinda like a magnet for bad luck..." he noted.
~
Forsaken jumped at the noise. "Guess Eve is up now... Todd told me about her..." she noted. "And you have a nice singing voice." Forsaken scooted to sit up more.

..... YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, Maybe she should've seen that response coming.
"Hey! Hey! Eevee, calm down, calm down, it's okay~." Pulling up a chair, Erin sits down next to the bed. "Look at me. I told Vitt the full story and she just wanted to come in and check on you. No tricks, no mischief. She's just concerned for you okay?" She looks to Todd to give him a a flat look. "Bad luck or not, it's the thought that counts in this case. She's already offering to help us out with the whole.... 'You know what' thing."

"That... doesn't sound like a pleasant awakening..." Evan murmured uncomfortably, tugging at his collar. Judging by what he knew about Evelyn, as well as himself, he could easily imagine what apparently had her so riled up. He anxiously glanced over his shoulder, looking between Forsaken and the door. "Do you think I should go check on them?"
---------------------------
"ARE YOU GUYS OUT OF YOUR MINDS?!!" Evelyn's wide, terrified eyes flicked between Erin, Todd, and only occasionally Vitt. "YOU BROUGHT A LIGHT PLAYER IN HERE! A LIGHT PLAYER!!! WHY DON'T WE JUST SPELL MY NAME IN FIREWORKS WHILE WE'RE AT IT?!! ERIN, YOU'RE THE ONLY THING KEEPING HIM OFF MY BACK!!! DO YOU WANT TO NEUTRALYZE THAT?! DO YOU?!!"
She suddenly threw the covers off and leaped out of bed, shooting Vitt a frustrated, panicked scowl. "I'm sorry, Vitt, it's not that I don't appreciate the thought, I'm happy to see you, glad you're alive, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to GET OUT!!!"
Evelyn raised her hands. A shimmering white aura surrounded Vitt.
"OUT!!! OUT!!! OUT!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!"
Then Evelyn swept her arms in a wide arc. A radiant burst filled the room, and just like that, Vitt was gone.
Once the deed was done, Evelyn immediately collapsed onto her hands and knees, clutching at her ribcage, sucking in heavy, wheezing, anxiety-ridden breaths. The look on her face was one of not only fear, but unmistakable regret.

"Excuse me-? I am a bringer of fortune! A protector! The one who can actually fight! Your... whatever the fuck our relationship qualifies as! I will not be talked to like-"
And then, in a burst of light distinct from her own, Vitt was gone.
---
"THAT!!"
CRASH!!
"Motherfucker..."
Vitt grumbled several Italian profanities to herself, wrinkling her nose. Great. A dumpster. Not even the one outside the old seafood restaurant was this bad. Pulling a blue frying pan out of what seemed to be hammerspace, the brunette woman knocked away the top, cringing at the sunlight despite her thick eyeglasses. She climbed out of the disgusting thing, slamming the door shut. She stuck out her tongue at her current state. "I'm not exactly Botfly Girl, Evelyn. Coulda at least sent me somewhere else..."
She let out another swear and ducked behind the dumpster. A black shirt, grey skirt, and a pair of heavy boots were tossed to the side, before all landing on a card.
Vitt emerged from behind the dumpster in a set of clothes identical to what she had on before, just free of the filth she had landed in. She shook her hair, getting what gunk she could out of her hair.
Once she had deemed herself clean enough, she began running towards what direction she assumed the hospital was. Being a Light player, this probably was.

Todd flinched seeing Vitt disappear. "You know she's going to be back here in a few hours.... right?" He asked.
~
Forsaken nodded. "Go for it, Hufflepuff. Hey maybe when I get out of this joint- we can have a race. You on your broom and well me flying."
