The Aftermath - "Thank You" from the Distortions

[This post is the results from "The Aftermath" Poll]

"This is a surprise, You want her to live? I see... You've grown fond of her. Over the many years, I have as well." "I must thank you… for choosing to save my friend. I really do love her alot, maybe as much as I love the real one... Perhaps even more sometimes…"

"…She reminds me so much of her too. I guess [ . . . ] wasn't happy about that, her being alive... that is why she must have granted that I assume. They usually only last a few years. Compared to the others she's been alive far too long, she's starting to think independently. They don't normally do that." "I believe it scared her, having a piece of her do that. To just deviate and become a being of its own, wouldn't you be scared too? I may need to have a discussion with [ . . . ], being isolated in the distortions for so long can make you scared of the new, but that is for another day." "Here... I will fix the connection. But I cannot do this every time."

She spoke softly as she approached the spirit. "54."

The wisps from the parting kiss quickly dissipated till nothing but a mere memory was left. The distortion stared kindly down at the spirit, "54, It's me. I hope that gave you some life to use, I know it wasn't much, but you're fading." "Won't you wake up, please?" Calamity began to stir, the energy the distortion gave wasn't much but it allowed her to just barely open her eyes. Though it was mumbled and broken she seemed to attempt to speak its name.

Particles began to appear as they touched. The distortion sighed sadly, her paw never leaving the spirit. "I know, Mortal pain is truly a burden. But you must feel it to know you're really alive... to know you exist. This is a feeling you will gain as you begin to diverge and become your own. It is something you must grow to accept." The distortion began to softly hum, she seemed to notice 54's pain. "Love, you'll be okay. I promise, just listen to my voice, alright? Do you remember how I'd always sing to you? I remember how much you loved this song." She smiled, "It always made you happy." Though her voice was haunting it only brought the feeling of warmth and comfort as she began to sing.

Her song faded just as the sigil glowed brightly, it almost instantly began to dissolve, crumbling into nothing. Only darkness was left in its place... and the distortions existence from this plane departed just as it entered.

"There... it is done. She should make a recovery now. I apologise, I can only do so much from the distortions... you'll have to take over from here. Your energy should heal her but it may take a while... But, until then."

"Please take care of her... And maybe keep that fox away from her, he irritates me. Even if he's something she cares about, that creature is unpredictable at best. There's no fixing that thing… even [ CALAMITY ] knows that, and she's his god."

[Calamity has been reconnected and is now recovering, she will be injured until further notice.]

→ Calamity's profile and name has been updated. Calamity's and Spirit Calamity's profiles will now be separate. → The Distortion has been added to characters. Though her profile will likely stay baren for a long time.
