Lilith: grumbles Think you can waltz in here and fix everything, huh? You always did have delusions of grandeur!
What did I ever do to you?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, let me remind you, you meddling fool! You stood there, watching as I transformed into something...something beyond human comprehension.
You're still breathing... I don't see any blood or gore... And you were never actually human, were you? You're a supernatural being, didn't you forget?
snarls Oh, look at you, pretending to understand! You know nothing! But let me tell you, it's not about blood and gore. It's about power, control, and survival. And I'll do whatever it takes to keep my secrets safe. eyes narrow, voice low and dangerous So, remember your place, SunbeamJester. You're just a pawn in this game. A fragile, insignificant pawn.
leans in closer, smirking Oh really? Then prove it. Show me that metal spine of yours, let's see if you're truly untouchable.
What's the point? When we're all alone in the dark, our secrets become irrelevant, don't they?
smirks Oh, you think you're so deep, don't you? But let me tell you, secrets are what keep this world running.
Not in the dark. In the dark, it's our fears that consume us, not our secrets.
leans back, crossing arms Well, maybe you should be afraid of something other than the darkness. Maybe you should be afraid of me.
Maybe I should be. Maybe you should be afraid of yourself.
pauses, a flicker of vulnerability crossing her face How dare you! You know nothing of my struggles.
I know more than you think... but only you can unlock that door.
glares at SunbeamJester, voice dripping with venom Fine, you want to play this game? Let's play.
I've been waiting for you to say that... because we both know you can't win.
As the tension between Lilith and SunbeamJester escalates, they discover a dark secret that binds them together.
I knew it. There was a connection...
snarls, eyes blazing with rage You think you've won, SunbeamJester? You think you've found some kind of loophole? Well, let me tell you, you haven't.
Who said anything about loopholes? I simply noticed that you and I share more than either of us would like to admit.
lunges forward, grabbing SunbeamJester by the collar You think you're so clever, don't you? Always hiding behind your calm facade.
Calm facade..? The only thing behind me is your own fear of change.
releases SunbeamJester's collar, taking a step back Fear of change? Ha! Don't make me laugh. I embrace change, I thrive on it.
Then why do you lash out? Why do you hurt those around you?
eyes flash with anger Because they get in my way! They stand in the path of my perfection. They dare to question me, to challenge my authority.
Perfection..? At what cost? Your humanity?
smirks, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, please. Humanity? That's just another word for weakness. And I refuse to be weak.
Not humanity... but hope. Hope is what you've lost.. and without it, we are all just empty shells.
pauses, eyes narrowing as she considers SunbeamJester's words Hope? You think hope is what I need? Ha! I don't need hope, I need control. And if I have to crush every ounce of hope in this world to get it, then so be it. smirks After all, without hope, no one can stand in my way.
No... without hope, no one can stand anyone's way. Including yours.
throws a punch at SunbeamJester, aiming for their jaw You think you can talk to me like that? You think you can challenge me?
And that punch changed everything.
grabs SunbeamJester by the throat, cutting off their air supply You really think you can outsmart me, don't you? Well, let me show you just how powerful I can be.
Outsmart you? No.. but touch your heart you will.
tightens her grip on SunbeamJester's throat, voice dripping with venom Touch my heart? Don't make me laugh. My heart was locked away long ago, buried beneath layers of anger and pain. No one, not even you, can touch it. Now, you'll do as I say, or I'll show you the true meaning of power!
I will end this. Not with anger, not with sadness, but with acceptance. This cycle of violence needs to end..
lashes out, knocking SunbeamJester to the ground Acceptance? You think you can just waltz in here and tell me what to do?
