*drops into your chamber and stares at you blankly* (hello!)

-@fred-the-lizard

What.

I know I've been quiet, but eating something that nearly killed you will do that.

What is this thing, I've never seen a lizard so . . . big and melanated.

Well then.

At least it's not lacking in my ferocity, that's something I can be proud of. (Though almost killing one of your messengers would . . . not be good for you.)

Alright, alright. Though this Onyx is interesting, I'll say.

If Onyx mentions a sacrifice, is there a reason for concern?

Asking for a friend here.

Though, personally, I don't see much of a problem yet.

-@nine-drops-of-iron

PROBABLY???????????

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Mmmm I'm sure it's fine

Pardon. My friend is sure it's fine.

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Hmmhmm. Cycles is quite an irritating one, I can tell. But it is a worthy sacrifice, is it not?

[Breaking Shards of Onyx]

Irritating does not describe it. I used to find her more pleasing, since she sends me lizards to eat.

But it's going to take me a while to forgive her for that egg.

Also, I feel obligated to inform you that I have been warned not to interact with you. (I will not be listening to that, you seem quite nice.)

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Aren't you the same Cycles who made the very lizard you got that wretched egg from?

According to you, it spits them.

Greetings.

Would you like me to send your… assailant a little gift?

By that, I mean a singularity bomb.

[???]

Whoever you are-

Y'know what, no, I don't care who you are or how you're reaching me.

Please, do whatever you wish to irritate and make attempts on Cycles' life the way she did to mine.

[nine-drops-of-iron]

FUCK SHE TAPPED THE BROADCAST-

Like I said before, just because it was an accident doesn't mean it didn't almost kill me!

Besides, you've dealt with worse. Don't get your wires in a twist.

Greetings.

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Yes, Cycles, someone offered to send you a gift for me and I'm all for it. The egg was not fun and just because you didn't know doesn't mean I'm not ready to tear you apart cell by cell.

. . . Was is it the insane one we're currently being warned about. Their ID was hidden.

I have no regrets.

[ PUBLIC BROADCAST ]

I should probably make this before it’s too late.

Everyone, please be careful of an Iterator named Breaking Shards of Onyx. She is batshit insane and you cannot trust her under any circumstances.

This is serious. Genuinely.

I thought she was dead.

[ END BROADCAST ]

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Give.

It's the least you can do.

sorry

-@restart-the-cycle

Sorry?

YOU NEARLY KILLED ME, AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS SORRY?!

CYCLES

YOU ARE FUCKING DEAD WHEN I GET MY CLAWS ON YOU

[nine-drops-of-iron]

I doubt I would have ascended anyway. It felt like it was trying to take me out of this world while actively dissolving my insides. I swear, I'm lucky I was able to cough up enough of it to mitigate the damage and get Lucky's help to repair myself.

And it tasted like . . . nothing. Maybe a hint of sourness and a bit of stale water flavor, but mostly nothing. (I may have not been able to tell, though, due to it RAPIDLY DISSOLVING ME)

sorry

CYCLES

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Yes, they are highly useful.

And don't you worry. With enough time and pearls I can convince Lucky to do anything.

Either I'm going there or you're coming here so that I can vivisect you.

sorry

[nine-drops-of-iron]

Don't try and change the subject.

It was part of the gift from my ancients along with the mouth.

You are still absolutely dead to me.

[PUBLIC EMERGENCY BROADCAST ]

Nine Drops of Iron (sent via overseer) to Everyone

-This broadcast contains no text. Rather, it is a video file with mostly corrupted visuals. The audio doesn't seem to have discernible words, but only coughing and gagging sounds-

-At the end of the file, a single clear image flicks into view-

-Taken by overseer-

(OOC: Yes the art was very rushed because I just wanted to get the post done and had been trying to get this right for too long so I'm just gonna bite the bullet and do it.

Also yes, void fluid looks like that when I draw it. Usually it's a little darker, but smaller areas get the yellow blended into them more, soooo

Oh yeah, Drops can't do this bc he's having a stroke, but I can! @restart-the-cycle )
