Chain of Hell??? Sir? Like I had that in my notes but why is it CALLED THAT.
Why is the thing that mutters incoherently and drags the soul around as it crawls from heart to heart called the CHAIN OF HELL.

niel.

I was thinking about King again and like
Man I am SO worried for him in the upcoming chapters

Either something really terrible is going to happen to him or his gut mouth is an absolute parasite

What.

WHAT.
I yell and get SCOLDED, bite back nerve for the sake of COHABITATION, and even that is TOO LITTLE-

Video games??

What kind of blather is THAT?
Videos are shows, movies, noninteractables.

Is that boy worried about me?
What a sweet pumpkin...
It would be the other lightners and darkners of these worlds who must behave. For his sake.

﹙ a mouthful of water gurgled in his upper throat, soon spit out from his lower mouth. ﹚

Not as though a caged King can rule.

Mhhn.

It is time I slumber. Your bodies yearn for the same thusly, surely.

You lot do enjoy your grudges. As any does.

﹙ though he takes them, holds them close and fondly, he doesn't look at them just yet in front of her. he'd rather scoot over to his water bottle and enjoy a beverage. ﹚

Controllers.

On board games? Nonsense. Board games are cardboard trays with plastic pieces.

What.

Do you want me to react?

﹙ staring with the most blank expression, only to look away in a genuine squint- ﹚

'Mm.
Whatever makes him happy, yes.

Then don't you have anything better to do?

﹙ that laughter muddled down, ending with his sharp, inscrutable and tongue-lolled grin. ﹚

Yes, yes. That is why our young prince Lancer was ever so entertained by you.

He told me you enjoy board games.

Your brow is less furrowed. Your stare less hostile.

I forget you lightners grow so fast.

GRRYAHAAHAW!

﹙ that conforming praise earned a room-rattling belly laugh, in that even his lower mouth joined in with his bellow. ﹚

You're bending over backwards to make me correct!!
What an odd jester you are. I knew I liked you.

There we were, the three of us
The thief, the king and I
Finally, we were forced to see
We were equals in the night
(Starry, starry night)

The young monster.

You seem different.

Finally a form of respect. Yes.

﹙ the king grinned a toothy smile in a surprising glimmer of pride.
more squinting followed suit, looking at the answers.
.. his smile slipped the longer he stared. ﹚

I see no "𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳." Ralsei is the Prince of the Dark.
Are these 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴?

You are persistent, Clubs.

I cannot tell if you detest me or simply find my entertaining.

﹙ 𝙎𝙌𝙐𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂.
he pauses. genuinely pauses, looking at the lighting ripples, only to reach into his belly maw and retrieve a pair of reading glasses.
ones he held up to his eyes to look closer. ﹚

The answer is NONE. Obviously.
I am hosting YOU in my cell.

You were NEITHER.

My options are Lightners or the chatty little hairball.

niel.

PHEW I wasn't the only one whose site was bugging out

Your GAUL baffles me before any GUFFAWS.
GRAHA!!

Yet.. yes. Anything at this point, performer.

...

﹙ quite the heavy sneer returned their look. he crossed his arms, tongue lulling out in a bitten back guffaw. ﹚

Cease your staring. Quiet staring Pisses me OFF.
You should have anything better to do.

I need my entertainment.

Either someone to brawl or to jest.

I do have a motorcycle.

But you mean my SON .

What the hell does that MEAN??

WHAT .

I ANNOUNCE MY RETURN !!

I accept welcome presents in the form of edible munches or willing targets.

To my people, I am a hero...
...To you?
I'M THE BAD GUY!!!
