You scream.
You didn't want to.
There's movement the second the sound leaves your mouth, but you can't bear to look. You can't hear, you can't think, as colors and noise instantly overwhelm you. You slip to your knees as the panic begins to take hold.
You shouldn't have done that. You didn't want to. You wanted to talk to Raphaella, you wanted to ask her about your dream, you wanted to ask her about yourself, and instead. You panicked. The sound felt wrong the second you made it. So why did it feel so much like there was nothing else you could do?
You can't wrap your head around it. Why did you scream? It was a fleeting thought. It overwhelmed you into action before you could even think. Why did you scream? It's uncharacteristic of you to act out like this. Why did you scream?
Panic makes you shake, makes your breathing erratic. You can't bring yourself to put in the energy to process anything around you. Shapes, colors, they're all the same. Your breaths are sharp, painfully quick, until all at once it feels like you can't breathe at all.
You feel yourself being lifted off the ground as if you weighed nothing at all. You can't bring yourself to ask her to let you go, even before the hand around your throat leaves your lungs empty and burning. You can't move. You can't think. Do you save yourself? Do you hurt her to do it? Despite everything, you don't want her to come to any harm, even if the nails digging into your neck are sharp as she tightens her grip.
You try to scream again. The only sound that comes out of your mouth is the soft hum of radio static.
Your vision is fading.
You have to choose.
Choose.

*crawls out from… somewhere.* no clue what happened to my brain but the mechanisms brought me back to life
Lyfrassir Edda propoganda upon ye
I am a big fan of rainbow eldritch lyf. They are so creature. And yes i know TBI has official art where the residents of the Yggdrasil system are humanoid. Consider: i wanted to design a fun alien creature.

Hey babe. Don’t cry. Disabled lyf.
ID: A drawing of Lyfrassir Edda standing on a grey background. Their posture is stiff, and they seem vaguely uncomfortable, eyes looking off to the side. Their mouth is twisted in a slight frown. Lyfrassir is a tall, humanoid person with medium-dark brown skin mottled with splotches of shifting cold colors. They have a feeding tube coming from one nostril, looping over their pointed ear. Their tight curly hair is iridescent, half up in a ponytail, the rest in braids that fall over their shoulders. They wear a black sweater and brown plaid pants, and hold a silver cane. End id.

It's the only thing that makes sense. You've been there before, you know what to expect, and at this point you would give anything for a sense of familiarity to rely on. Having made up your mind, you get dressed and leave your room, for the first time in weeks, with a purpose.
You pass a few people on your way there, but your thoughts are too busy worrying about your upcoming trip to really notice them. What if no one is there? What if someone is there, but they don't want to see you? What if something horrible happens like the last time, and everything falls apart, and then they'll kick you off the ship, and-
You find yourself standing at the door to the kitchen. Taking a breath to steady yourself, you shake off your thoughts and step inside.
Your worries about the room being empty are immediately dispelled, as the sound of laughter echoes loudly through the room. The half of the room dedicated to proper kitchen equipment is deserted, but the half consisting of one large table is currently occupied with three people playing what appears to be a simple card game. Two of them look up when you enter.
"Lyf!" It's Marius who speaks first, standing up from his seat the second he sees you. "You actually came!"
You simply nod, trying to think of what to say. The person on the left- Brian- seems surprised at your appearance, but greets you pleasantly. "You look well. It's nice to see you up and about!"
You laugh nervously. "Y-yeah...It's nice to see you too." Was that it? Was that all you had to say? Surely you had something better.
The person in the middle- Tim- hasn't even looked at you. He seems too focused on the cards he's holding in his hand. Marius looks quickly back and forth between you and the cards before running to your side, dragging you to the table. "If you want to, we can deal you in! We just started, it wouldn't be a problem at all."
Unsure of what else to do, you nod again. Brian hands you a small group of cards, and you sit in a seat offered to you by Marius.
You realize too late you didn't ask which game they were even playing.
"You sure you're doing alright?" Marius places his hand on your shoulder, and you hold back a flinch. "I can explain the rules if you-"
"No! No, it's fine." Why were you refusing? You had no idea what you were doing! "I'll figure it out. Maybe...You should go first?"
He laughs, and proceeds to place down a few cards. You follow his lead for a few turns before you begin to relax.
Brian and Tim both seem fairly nice, and you remember that the whole point of this trip was to talk to new people. You can't hide behind Marius forever. But as you continue to copy his movements in placing cards on the table, you begin to grow worried.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HOLLOW KNIGHT!!!
Hollow Hollow Knight managed to snag the win from Daniil Pathologic with a final 67% of the vote! Looks like the Bachelor has to look somewhere else for the first win he will ever get in his life. So sad
Congratulations as well to Lyfrassir Edda Mechanisms and Carmen Lobotomy Corp for snagging third place! And, of course, Mike Woe Begone and Hatchling Outer Wilds as our honorary third places because the people advocating for them were simply so kind <3 You guys did great!
Stay tuned for some other tournaments once I have ideas for them! <3 Thanks for sticking around for this one!
