One thing that drives me a little crazy for the EXU half while also being completely understandable:
Why does the Spider Queen need Opal to ditch her friends to go fight Predathos? Like ma'am, why aren't you taking advantage of "we'll follow you" to get a whole hit squad instead of just a lonely champion?
And yes, this is probably more about the Spider Queen's own trust issues and visions/understanding of power and a belief compassion (for allies/friends) will hold her champion back. But c'mon. Look at the goddamn logistics of five (six with Cyrus) people fighting for you versus one. In what way is having support that can heal and boost and assist your champion bad? Don't you want a champion that has better odds of finishing the mission and living to serve another day? (probably cares less about champion survivability, being a Betrayer who doesn't care about mortals. But good help is hard to find, especially during a crunch)
I'm just sitting here shaking my head at a goddess desperate to get her pawn in on the fight and going about it the completely wrong way.
hey thats how the saying goes haha. you either die in horror as your friend becomes a villain or live long enough to forget everything you loved about your friend- wait. you either kill your friends while they remember you or let them live as their good memories of you leech away and get corrupted and fade. wait no. you either die a slow and painful death as your friend kills you, or you live as you walk away, every positive memory of your friend slowly being eaten and corrupted until you dont think they're your friend at all. wait no. no. you either. you either. you corrupt their memories of you until they dont love you or you kill them. haha. they're always saying this.
okay well catch me goddamn WRECKED because opal is up and moving and looks like her corrupted self in the dead of night. she should be asleep. she looks like her corrupted self. her eyes gleaming inhumanly in the dark. and dariax see this. and immediately goes. are you okay? do you want some water? how are you doing? he plops down next to her, unafraid, unphased, and holds quiet conversation.
his friend looks horrifying. and lost. and he. sits down next to her and offers some water. and takes her hand. "how are you doing?" im fine about this. im fine.
Two hours ago Orym was sobbing into a Sending Stone begging Dorian to come to him because he needs him and now we're having emotional Opal moments during PvP via dick crystals.
