(Kit is on her way to the Dance Fever flash drive while Riion is trying to leave the Plexus.)
Kit: Let me know when yall are ready
Riion: I’m just leaving the Plexus because… Boo
(Just when Riion says “boo” the shape switches to him and he shortly gets grabbed by a sleeper and the phone curse goes off.)
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: CAREFUL SWEET RIION
Riion: I’ll be fine...I think
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: I KNOW YOU WILL--
(Riion tries to put down a sleep tripwire)
Riion: If I can put this down
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT YOU
(Seed-The-Grudge laughs)
(Phone curse goes off while Riion climbs a ladder)
Riion: Ahah...THIS PHONE IS SO ANNOYING!
Riion: So how are you Seed-The-Grudge?
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: OH QUITE BUSY AND DISTRACTED. LEADING THE PACT HAS COME WITH IT’S... CHALLENGES
Riion: Heh
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: WRANGLING MY SIBLINGS COULD BE QUITE THE HARROWING TASK
Riion: Hehe I could imagine their all...A bit extreme
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY POINT. YOU MIGHT NOT HEAR FROM ME FOR SOME TIME. I AM RELYING ON MY GENERALS, MY AVENGERS. I AM IN TRUSTING IN YOU ALL TO CONTINUE MY CAUSE TO BE MY DEFENDERS AS I LEAD THE PACT INTO WAR… A WAR IS BREWING.
Riion: War against who?
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: THE PACT HAS CHOSEN TO HUNT THE HUNTER
Riion: Ooo
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: YOU EXPRESS CONCERNS FOR DIE-FOR-YOU
Riion: Yeah do you know what he’s trying to do?-- Yeah (Riion interrupting STG again)
(A brief moment of awkward silence Riion tries to speak up)
Riion: From what my understanding is--
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: I BELIEVE DIE-FOR-YOU IS DIPPING IN HIS TRUE PURPOSE. HE IS FINALLY PRACTICING WHAT HE PREACHES.
Riion: To be a martyr?
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: IT IS HIS NATURE. IF THAT’S WHAT IT TAKES IS THAT NOT WORTH IT?
Riion: I guess but… We--I don’t want any more voices or people to die to the hunter if things go bad.
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: RIION
Riion: Yes?
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: THERE WAS NEVER AN ENDING THAT WOULD END WITHOUT BLOODSHED.
Riion: Dang… I-I knew that but I--
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: YOU REMEMBERED WHEN I ASK YOU IF YOU DREAM IN RED SO LONG AGO?
(Riion.exe is unresponsive)
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: YOU KNEW THAT THIS IS THE INEVITABLE TRUTH… ACCEPTING IT IS YOUR CHALLENGE.
Riion: .... That’s gonna...
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: I HAVE NO REGRETS. NOT OF THE PAST AND NOT OF THE FUTURE. THERE IS NO COST I WOULDN'T PAY TO MAINTAIN JUSTICE FOR THE WEAK. IF DIE-FOR-YOU WANTS TO MAKE THAT HIS PURPOSE I AM GLAD TO WITNESS HIS SACRIFICE.
Riion: I see...ok Courage Riion, Courage!
Riion: Then… Can I at least ask a favor can I help Die-For-You at the very least? So he at least has a chance to survive.
(Dramatically looks up into the stars)
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: HMMM
(Seed-The-Grudge is thinking)
(Seed-The-Grudge thinking intensifying, staring up at the star's intensifying neck is getting sore.)
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: AN INTERESTING PROPOSAL. ONE I CANNOT ACCEPT ON DIE-FOR-YOU’S BEHALF. YOU SHOULD ASK HIM.
Riion: I guess I will go do that.
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: KNOWING HIM HE’LL GLADLY ACCEPT ANY HELP HE CAN GET.
Kit: He is going to need it because I don’t think we’ll fall for his plan.
Riion: Kit no!
(Seed-The-Grudge laughs)
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: BELIEVE WHAT YOU MUST KNOW AND TRUST I HAVE NO MOTIVES OR MACHINATIONS AGAINST DIE-FOR-YOU I AM SIMPLY READING THE RED WRITING ON THE WALLS.
Riion: Right, thank you.
SEED-THE-GRUDGE: BE PREPARED CHILDREN ALL OF YOU NOW IS THE TIME. GOOD LUCK
Kit: We will be ready on the front lines
Riion: You too Seed-The-Grudge good luck.
