Summary: SOUL SHENANIGANS and whatever else your heart desires. Open to castle antics.

[Allen sure is super unconscious suddenly.

And gray. For some reason.]



[And you may have heard someone screaming "I'M FINE" repeatedly at themselves near the castle grounds a short while ago, strangely.]

[ Chrono works silently, the conversation flowing around him like a pebble in a stream. He doesn't look up, still offers no defense, no explanation. His hands pause when Rosette's anger sparks, but he's otherwise quiet and (apparently) focused on his task.

He holds a cross-framed visor up to Rosette as Link speaks. ]

[ Tersely, ] No. It can only be done by one person.

[ He would certainly be going, otherwise. ]

[Kevin spares Break a look of surprised betrayal. Mister Break, of all people, should have known what it means to lose one's soul to some unholy leech. He doesn't pull away, though. There is nothing he can do without violating the free will of every single individual in this room, but that is not a price he can pay. Not after what happened to Solomon.

In the end, it is hard to tell whether Break is holding Kevin or Kevin is holding Break. Link's explanation merely prevents him from shouting at them all for their recklessness. "Less" of Rosette's time is still too much. More than he can accept, anyway.

At least, with the demon not influencing as much, they might have a better chance of success at saving Master Walker. In the end, he prepares himself to do what Rosette asked of him: to guard her with all his strength.]

[In the mean time, Rosette checks the various connections visually, nodding with some satisfaction at Chrono's work.

She doesn't bother to make any further arguments. It's time to get to work.]

[ And after Rosette has dived, in the ensuing tense silence that follows, Emily pipes up: ]

DO YOU EAT HUMANS, CHRONO?

[ You see, Kevin? Break can be on your side. Occasionally. ]

[senseandcecilbility]

[M-Mister Break!

Well, that was a little shocking...but not in a bad way.]
