Reggie: Hey dude... You okay?
Derrick: ...Hold on, Reggie.
Derrick: (Can you calm down please?)
Derrick: (This is more like it... This is the closest I've felt in the front without being in charge.)
Derrick: (.....)
Derrick: (You're the boss. You don't have to like what I feel like doing.)
Derrick: (Which is why you decided to go as a group... Right?)
Derrick: (Together we're stronger.)
Derrick: (Wrong. I was weak before I decided to do something to take charge.)
Derrick: (Now look at me. Confident and ready to pursue our tasks.)
Derrick: (In your hands, the group is a crutch. You need only relax when I see a way forwar--)
Derrick: (NO...! I'll decide and that's it..!)
Derrick: (.... Whatever you say.)
Reggie: Uhhhh....
Reggie: You've been mumbling to yourself quite often lately.
Reggie: Wanna let your friends, Me and Fluffy into the conversation?
Derrick: .... I can't. This is between me and myself.
Reggie: ..... Uhh...
Derrick: I can't help but see you guys as separate. Kremwahl says--...
Derrick: .... I've been thinking, that it's better to have these moments to myself by my definition.
Reggie: Okay, just reach out if you're feeling overwhelmed, eh kiddo?
Derrick: Yeah.
Bambino: Derrick. Don't get comfy with me on at all times.
Derrick: Huh?
Bambino: It will give you confidence, yes. But it may also make you easily aggravated.
Bambino: You may have less patience as you may feel violence is now a more simpler option.
Bambino: Understand that was never who you were at heart.
Bambino: You are still that meek boy I met from my creation day.
Bambino: I don't mind you wearing me often, but take breaks when things become peaceful.
Derrick: Y-yes... I felt pretty itchy back there.
Derrick: Thanks for that.
Bambino: Not a problem. oyo
Derrick: (.... You've forgotten our agreement? We've been doing so well too.)
Derrick: (You managed to work with me without calling out. I'm always in here.)
Derrick: (So let's use our body manipulation more.)
Derrick: (....)
Derrick: (Whenever you want, just think about our toothy tendril hands. I'll take over and do the rest.)
Derrick: (Could save you in a pinch, or if a weapon somehow isn't handy.)
Derrick: (Also, I haven't mentioned yet, but we have more tricks up our sleeves. The Dark Asylum.)
Derrick: (...What's that?)
Derrick: (Our own little world, perfect for enemies, not fun for us.
Derrick: (What do you mean...?)
Derrick: (Where do you think these tendrils come from? Magically spawned?)
Derrick: (They'd be a little harder to get rid of if we were conjuring them up.)
Derrick: (No... These are from our Dark asylum. Hell's Banquet.)
Derrick: (It's very tiresome to manifest an entrance way, so choose wisely when you'd like to.)
Derrick: (But if you get a chance, be far away from who's being sent inside. It's nothing but darkness and pain.... A prison for your enemies.)
Derrick: (Much like getting eaten alive, hehehe...)
Derrick: (Everyone has this... Dark asylum place..?)
Derrick: (Yes. We all have our own versions. Each working vastly different from each other.)
Derrick: (They can be offensive, defensive, strategic etc...)
Derrick: (As you can guess, ours is offensive. It's not made for us, but for our enemies.)
Derrick: (Some may offer you a safe haven to protect yourself, or a way to get the upper hand in certain cases.)
Derrick: (Dark asylums when mastered can be used in very small amounts, or vastly warp our realm.)
Derrick: (All depends on who wills it and how their trait can alter its effects.)
Derrick: (I see....)
Derrick: (Next time you see a poor soul worthy of hell's banquet, try it out.)

Lucas: Hey dude, what's the good word? Sick mask bro.
Derrick: ... Oh, hello Lucas. Thanks.
Derrick: I came to fetch you. We found another shadow monster outside and Emily is going to try to work her magic.
Derrick: Can you assist if need be?
Lucas: I can try, sure.
Derrick: Thanks! Also...
Lucas: Hm...?
Derrick: Take your time here for a bit. I want you to try your best and stand still for what you can imagine 2 minutes to feel like.
Lucas: Huh...? Why?
Derrick: There needs to be moments where you just... stop, don't you think?
Lucas: Sounds scary to be honest.
Derrick: Scary?
Lucas: My thoughts... I dunno, dude. They run wild when I'm idle.
Derrick: Please... Just 2 minutes or so.
Derrick: If nothing happens, fine. But just do this small favour for me.
Lucas: ...........
Lucas: .... Just 2 minutes, right...?
Derrick: Yes. I'll let the others know. Count out the seconds if you have to.
Lucas: .... Ok ok, got it.
Derrick: Thanks.

Azriel: ......
Azriel: What a strange request.
Lucas: That's Derrick for you. Weird.
Azriel: Well, seems simple enough. I shall refrain from speech until 2 minutes have passed to decrease distraction.
Lucas: You don't have to do that, dude.
Azriel: .....
Lucas: ... Come on, it's not that serious, Azriel.
Azriel: .......
Lucas: F-fuck... Azriel....
???: It was bound to happen sooner or later.
Lucas: ....!!!

Lucas: A-AZRIEL..!!
???: He can't hear you.
Lucas: CHRIST...! What the f-f...
???: You don't like me that much?
Lucas: ......
???: It didn't take much for me to find you. Thank you, Derrick.
???: It's about time we had a chat.
Lucas: This isn't happening...
???: Oh it is. Just in between the spaces of what you believe as the passage of time.
???: We can be here for... well Forever.
???: How many seconds has it been so far? One? two?
???: Maybe 60? A minute already?? We're running out of time!
???: .... Just kidding. C'mon, let's chat.
Lucas: ........
???: You've been running away from me for so long you had no idea how close I was all along.
???: You're on the edge of whatever sanity you think you're holding onto.
???: Just look at my form... Why the fuck did you imagine me like this?
???: Are you still guilty? You explained it to me a million times haven't you?
???: "We're doing this for Alice." Right?
???: So why are you still feeling this way?
Lucas: ........
???: -sigh- Silence will only make things awkward.
???: I was able to reach you so easily because I've desperately been trying to find my way out of the darkness you've locked me in.
???: Luckily Derrick gave enough light for me to find you. A moment of silence from all the noise.
???: So... Shall we stop running and hiding and just get this over with?
Lucas: ......

As Lucas you're at a loss for words, damn Derrick for disturbing the white noise you've had distracting you from your sins. It seems it's caught up with you and now it's time to face the music. What should you confront?
