[She'd continuing to sit atop the core. Spinning. Forever spinning. It did not matter that is was a ridiculous inclination, and it certainly did not matter that she hadn't moved in what felt like years, she knew that any further action past this point was futile.

She would never get better. She would never be able to forget what she saw. Nothing would change her state of mind. Nothing no one said, nothing that anyone would even attempt to do-- it was all in vain.

They would all be dead soon.]

[She can't help but laugh. It's funny. It's just... It's like they knocked some sense into her! Almost.]

I'm tired of seeing it. I know I'm going to die soon, I just. Am so glad you're letting me out out easily.

[A breath. It's a bit heavy, the troll wondering just how hard she was hit, after all. It didn't matter, though.]

Maybe. I'll stop seeing things. Soon.

[And with that, she's yanking the needle toward her face even more. She's pulling it with great force straight into her left eye. She just wants to stop seeing it all. Maybe they were here to not make her see any more.

That's why they were fighting so hard, right? That's what they were saying!]

[psych0p0mps]

[This is probably the first time Aradia's been able to do anything useful in combat in like a year and she was feeling pretty optimistic about this operation succeeding until-]

VRISKA!

[She drops her whip and rushes forward, grabbing Vriska by whatever's closest - in this case, her hair.]

I'm not going to let you die, you moron! Stop stabbing yourself!

[cyan_maid]

[The crack had surprised Jane; she'd only had skeleton monsters to fight, nothing that was flesh and blood and alive. She's stunned for a moment, after the blows collide, and grips the war fork tightly. She hadn't really...thought she could hurt anyone like that.

And then Vriska's laughing. What was so funny=]

[SHE'S GRABBING ROSE'S NEEDLE. SHE'S GOING TO STAB HERSELF. Aw shit. Aw shit, no, no, stop it, no - this wasn't the kind of sense Jane meant! The fork goes away, and Jane grabs Vriska by the middle and pulls.]

Stop it!!! Stop it right now!!!!

[rogueofheart]

[Nepeta's scrambling to her feet, but she sees the others have Vriska right where she needs to be.]

You've got her! Get her out of here, now! We have to get off this ship!

[fluthlu]

[Rose doesn't even bother to retrieve her other needle. Her face is ghost white, her hands shaking and her eyes wide, but she drops arms and marches straight forward and moves to loop an arm around Vriska's shoulder.]

One of you, get the sword away from her and secure her other arm.
