[ It seems that in this world, puppets and puppeteers are constants.

The one who pulls the strings may change, but the marionette remains the same, as it always has. ]

Let us dish out judgement.

@thirdpuppeteer.bsky.social

[ Another puppeteer. Though, this time, they take a physical incarnation.

Curious.

The Batter speaks first. ]

. . . . Who are you?

[ He swings with just as much force back — as if he were trying to rip the cover off of a baseball — hoping to hear the resounding “PINGK!” of the bat’s cuffed end against their rib cage. ]

[ That stoic look on his face remained steadfast, despite the pain. Red droplets fall gracelessly to the ground as he readies his swing in retaliation. ]

[ > ATTACK ]

[ > “Kris” ]

>>

[ The Batter bleeds. ]

[ Unlike any of their other opponents, he bleeds. He is flesh and blood. Just. Like. Them. ]

[ Crimson mars his shirt, now torn to reveal a gash that would normally take a human out of the fight. ]

[ Not him. ]

>>

Well. Are you ready?

[ The Batter tilts his cap, his eyes piercing right through Kris as if they were daggers.

As if on cue, three circular ADD-ONS appear behind The Batter.

Looks like he has backup. ]

[ The Batter is next on the plate. ]

「 ATTACK

⠀ DEFEND

> COMPETENCES

⠀OBJECTS 」

[ > Wide Angle - Analyze the enemies characteristics. ]

[ “Kris” - Human vessel. Harbors a SOUL. They stand in your way. ]

// all i could think of when i saw this reply

Tainted child. You stand in the way of judgment.

So be it.

[ The Batter raises his implement. A metal bat. There’s a bloodstain on it.

Purification in progress. . . ! ]

These worlds are corrupt.

I won’t tell you again. Stand aside.

[ Not good. ]

There will be balance when all is purified.

It’s better this way.

I have a sacred mission to fulfill. If you stand in my way. .

[ . . Seems he isn’t going anywhere. ]

This land is corrupted. Darkness, like a plague.

The last grain has fallen through the hourglass. It is time for my judgment.

// i feel like through kris’s eyes, batter would be referred to as another vessel. i mean. he IS monochrome. also the fact that he’s being controlled by a player, but instead of being controlled by a seemingly eldritch entity (SOUL) he IS the eldritch entity and you control Him

A realm manifested in darkness. .

It demands immediate purification.

That blue bastard.

. . .

[ He pulls back. ]

Sorry. That’s all I’ve got.

it makes me think. . how would he perceive Darkners? as they are? or would they be exaggerated, monstrous versions of themselves?

much to think about

// been thinking about OFF and how batter perceives the world versus like. the Judge or something.

when he’s attacked by a raving mad elsen, they’re seen as “burnt.” monsters with smoke pluming like chimneys from their necks. though in reality they’re just. Normal people crashing out ig lmao

I’d rather not be turned into ribbons.

As far as I’m concerned, it makes little difference to me.
