Void Girl [Oh god it's back]

> Apologize normally

GENO
"We're sorry. We really think we might be damaged. Some of us are on edge, and rash actions can be taken without the confirmation of others."

ANTLERS
"One can tell. Now then, Geri. Are you still willing to create the portal?"

She nods, more enthusiastically than she might have before you put a fresh fracture in your already delicate relationship by your stunning belligerence. One imagines she trusts herself more than she trusts you right now--and that's saying something.

GERI
"The worst that can happen is literally nothing, right? I'll try."

> Justify yourself to Geri

GENO
"Wait! Listen, Geri. We're not trying to be troublemakers, we just have suspicions that..."

> Abort explanation; if Antlers wanted to hurt Geri he'd already have done it

You trail off, your parts questioning the point of explaining at all. This is Antlers' territory, and with all the power being the sole ruler of an entire pocket dimension allows, he could've obliterated Geri the minute you showed up.

Besides, you don't think Geri is in the mood for debate right now.

> Encourage the heck out of Geri

GENO
"You can do this, Geri. After all, you accidentally transferred us here. That alone proves how great you are. If you put your all into this, there's no way you can fail!"

A reluctant half-smile tugs at her mouth. She seems fond of this reasonable, supportive part of you, even if the violent bits have worn on her patience.

GERI
"Thanks, reasonable-adult-side-of-Geno. You're good people. Bird-liches. Bears? Whatever."

She rolls her shoulders, stretches her arms high above her head. Limbers up like a gymnast preparing to somersault over a bar.

GERI
"If that's all..."

SpoilerShow

Oh-kay! I hecked up my drawing wrist in a small accident, and the upcoming update's supposed to be a video, so I'm gonna take the next couple days to churn out the second half to this update.

This is my first time running a forum adventure that isn't pretending to be a point 'n' click RPG! You might've noticed the changing art, text formatting, etc. and I hope it's not too distracting. I don't think Void Girl will ever become an asset-centric thing so bear with me while I nail down an aesthetic.

Now that we're on our way out of this void, for better or worse, is there anything you'd like me to try (mechanically or story-wise) in the coming scene? There are a number of plot points in my head I'd like to hit eventually, but I want y'all to have as much sway (within reason) over the adventure's direction as possible between them.

If you don't particularly want to see anything, feel free to give general speculation/commentary/whatevvs, man. Void Girl now has a discussion thread for all these shenanigans (see previous post)!!!
