'spotify' design by mistojen

...You just contradicted yourself.
You keep insisting upon insisting that Uta is dead. That she never existed. That she was only created.
[ In a sea of uncertainties, where waves of aggression might dare—seek to pull them apart and submerge them entirely within the shadows of their depths, Ganymede steps forward. Even with the pain that he feels with every breath, it is like in her words, he can hear it. A song that calls out with her every being.
One 'Corbenik' might state Uta has long since given up on singing. Ganymede dares to step forward, relentless in his determination to save his friend. ]
...But here you are, asking if you should kill her.
That tells me one thing:
Even you believe that Uta exists...because she never really died in the first place!
And I'll be there, to bring her back. So she can see a world without Cubia's influence. One where she can exist freely, as her own person, standing on her own two feet! We won't let you kill her, so don't even try!
[ Ganymede gives another dance. To further top off Oria's buff to defenses, he grants a temporary increase to everyone's physical attack as well. ]
no subject
it makes it so easy for her to ruthlessly and swiftly redirect her lance at punisher as he comes charging at her and impale him in the stomach (18) cleanly with the other end coming out from the opposite side of him. it's so callous, especially with the way that corbenik scoffs. this is the effect of their attachment. the weight of their resolve to continue to live.
but before the party has time to react to what she had just done, she'll have whispered dangerous wave into punisher's ear causing a giant wave to build behind her. it will build to a height above her own but shorter than tot musica's. there will be time to for the party (aside from punisher) to react before it crashes to them both; the wave pulls punisher clean off of her spear for another instance of damage to him and the tsunami (16) comes towards the rest of them.
how much damage she just inflicted onto punisher in terms of his hp? i'll leave that up to mad to decide but he should really be glad to be alive, honestly. having a hole in one's stomach normally should equate to being dead, but small blessings that oriade's use of the armor core saving him somehow from it being truly fatal.
you all had been doing so well with your words and then someone just had to go and do something. admittedly, it makes plenty of sense. corbenik's attitude shifts from that of an entity who was open to listening to something far more cold despite the smile on her face. her "petals" returning to their previous location, fanning out around her like wings, as she thinks about their words and how they measure in relation to their actions. "uta" had been exceptionally kind to all that she interacted with, and ganymede once again clings to the idea of "her" existence. ]
"Uta" is just a concept. [ corbenik states plainly. ] An idea, a personality, a face, a thing that you can interact with. So, in this end, there is no "Uta". You are all attached to a concept.
[ this is the key. in purging them all of their attachments then they will welcome death. yes, that is the answer that she was seeking. the meaning of the beginning and the end. ]
In order to kill this "Uta", then I must kill the vessel that you think it embodies — that will free you from this attachment. [ once again, she raises her lance without a clear indication of where it will be pointed at. her words seem to imply enough, though. ] However, unlike you, I do not fear this death because I know it means that I will reborn yet again.
no subject
Oriade is swept away by the tsunami, and unfortunately for him, he has a very debilitating weakness to water attacks, so his HP? It's definitely below 50% and he's sinking into the abyssal lake. ]
no subject
[ WHAT NO he is running after him and I guess he can't pull him up in time but boy does he try. ]
2/2 TALK
...She's not just a concept or a personality.
Is she talking about her ... streamer thing?
[ He remembers she mentioned that before ]
no subject
[ Holy shit, okay, that's going to be a problem, too. Noé's head is spinning and he's starting to lose his ability to think straight.
Uta must be saved.
She cannot die. Not here. Not like this. ]
I think so – I don't know what that means, but is there no getting through to her this way?!
no subject
Well, he's doing badly, but at least he's not drowning. That hole in his stomach is an issue, though. ]
Oriade... [ He coughs, trying to sit up. That's a bit of a challenge. ] One more attack... let me...
no subject
How many more people will Corbenik hurt, today?
How far will she reach if she's not stopped?
Oriade has been swept away. Punisher has been impaled. Ganymede had roots seeping through him, sapping his health away.
And Memoir...is still standing.
... ]
no subject
He also feels and understands his determination. ]
Let's do it! I'll support you, Punisher!
no subject
[ His whole body hurts like hell, but if words won't get through and attacks do very little, he's at least going to try to prove that they're not giving up on Uta no matter what.
Screw the endings and the beginnings alike. Uta needs to know that they're here for her in this moment. Fueled by determination, frustration and pain, he raises his claymore once again after using most of his energy to get close to Corbenik and slash her three times with Horror of the Stars (9, 4) that grants a whooping 150% buff. ]
1/3 DAMAGE CORE USE
Uta is more than a personality, a concept. And you already slipped up before, so trying to pretty up your words as if that is what you meant to say all along won't convince me otherwise.
I remember she always spoke so hopefully, always working so hard to see the bright side to things. And when the going got tough, she still persevered. But, she never acted fake.
I saw her struggles too. The sadness in her eyes and the grim acceptance of her situation that she didn't make light of. She's more than an image, more than a 'thing' that only can be interacted with; she is a PERSON who has her own feelings! Her own thoughts, her own dreams!
Even if you hate hearing it, it's true.
[ ... ]
And I told you, didn't I? Maybe you should get your ears checked. Because I said that I'd stop you from killing her!
[ Right when Punisher acts...
Ganymede lifts his Damage Core and uses it to STUN UTA. Where are you going to go now, huh? ]
no subject
You'll never free us from that attachment. Uta will live on in our memories, our hearts, and the lives of the people she's touched outside of this, for eternity. Her love for others will persist, as will our love for her in kind.
You, however...will not.
[ Noé's eyes are wide. His gaze is sharp as he stares into Corbenik's, not faltering, not flinching. No longer is the gentle demeanor of a man who was willing to try and reason with her. In his mind, you don't hurt and threaten his friends or his comrades and see no repercussions for it.
Uta will not die. Oriade. Ganymede. Punisher. All of them must live on. Memoir will not fall.
Corbenik will.
Corbenik must.
Corbenik...
...
No...
The name that he calls out isn't hers. Instead, it's that of the person he wants to reach the most – ]
Don't let go, UTA!!!
[ (!!!Potential Spoilers for Honkai Impact 3 in the link!!!)
He runs towards Corbenik. He brings out his blades and slashes. He misses (1). Again, and again, and again. Miss after miss. Desperation is sinking in, but he won't stop.
He can be pulled aside for a heal, in theory, but he'll be damned if he loses sight of her now. ]
/2
because while corbenik was more than confident that she'd be able to do a repeat of just moments ago, ganymede's stun her which allows the attack to hit her. the blows chunking her down by a over a quarter of her health (vague numbers because i, naru, gave up on math). it's unfortunate that memoir's attacks all whiff because it would have been good for him had he landed a few hits on her while she was stunned like this considering what's about to happen. regardless of her stun and while she is unable to move, they're about to get their selves and autonomy robbed from them again as king of songs elegy automatically activates after their hits connect.
once again, corbenik had not been singing a song but it doesn't mean that they are free from its effect. they just have to wait. and as she slowly starts recover from her stun, the party will just be empty vessels waiting to be filled with something. they all are waiting for corbenik's next song and it'll come soon enough as she decides on the only song that could fit this situation. her voice cracks as she screams out the first lines of the song summoning tot musica to act, however, corbenik does not initially join her companion and instead orders it to individually attack them. they need to learn.
tot musica slams ( 15 ) its hand on the party one by one. they've clung so desperately to this "uta" and so she must cleanse them of that attachment. have them forget all about "uta". the result of each assault from tot musica result in memoir losing 9% of his hp, oria, even under the water, suffering 10% hp loss (before whatever debuff he has going on), punisher taking the full brunt of tot musica's wrath with a 12% hp loss, and ganymede barely faring better with a 11% hp loss.
in death she will free them. in death they will no longer have to worry about the injuries that they are suffering. this is the fragment that cubia promises them. these bodies are but a temporary vessel for the better one that awaits them. no matter what they think and what foolish hopes they hang onto.
and as part of her performance of the song's meaning as its core—a song that was written to contain all of the anger and darkness within hearts; their despair—corbenik launches her lance at each of them which summons wave after wave of additional damage. the following damage to totaling to another 8% hp loss for memoir, gg oria who is spared her lance but not the waves as those toss him around for 15% (before whatever debuffs haki decides), 11% of punisher's hp being chunked away, and ganymede losing 8% of his hp. ]
no subject
the amount of which restoring corbenik back to full health, but at the "cost" of freeing the others from the effect of king of songs elegy. whether they're going to swiftly try another assault onto her or not, at least this time corbenik won't have her lance raised. there's no need for her to go on the immediate offensive or to provoke them again; she has heard their hearts as they continue to struggle.
instead she just looks at the party to assess the damage that she had inflicted onto them, but the damage only came as a direct result of them attacking her. quietly taking in the words that ganymede and memoir both shouted at her before the assault. it's foolish, though, in how they keep clinging onto something that causes them so much pain. they keep rejecting letting go of their attachments. their hearts refusing to see that there is relief if they could just accept the end. ]
"Uta", "Uta", "Uta"...
[ she repeats softly and plainly. ]
Despite how fondly you speak of her, is she not the source of your pain — your injuries — now? The longer you cling to this idea and defy accepting what truth there is, the more pain you will suffer because of this "Uta".
But there doesn't have to be anymore pain. You don't have to hurt anymore.
no subject
That's rich... of you. [ He coughs. ] Hurting us first and then spewing bullshit about no more pain. And doing it all in Uta's name on top of everything...
/2
It's one he won't get off of, though. Not until it's over.
He manages to talk back. ]
She's not the one causing this pain. You are, because you took someone that was never yours. Even so, we will endure anything to get her back. Don't claim our suffering as your own, either.
no subject
For all this talk of Uta not being real, maybe this will get to her a little more. ]
Her real name is Unna, by the way.
[ And with that, even in his weakened state, Memoir uses his heal core for a party-wide heal. (I forgot the name I am on mobile sorry) ]
no subject
There is not enough to sum up the magnitude of it all washing over them, hits falling upon them like an avalanche. But still, they persist.
Ganymede has been through very painful events. He knows this, thanks to the efforts of his friends, of his loved ones. He can stand this pain, rising to his feet once again. ]
...The truth is the one we all just spoke.
Have you ever considered that you're just delusional?
[ Freed of a song that would restrain him, Ganymede performs a dance in defiance of these words.
Ganymede immediately casts Invoke Calamity on all party members.
Those who are at 50% or under will receive a rather helpful buff, for both physical and magical attack (starts at 1% bonus when someone reaches 50% HP, but increases the lower the HP, and scales to 100% if someone is at 1% HP.) Use it well, or don't, he figures this is the best opportunity to do so. ]
no subject
We're suffering because we love Uta. She's our friend. If you don't have pain, you can't value the moments you have without it. I'll decide whether it's her fault or Corbenik's fault, or whoever the fuck--it doesn't matter. We're here to get Uta back and she's worth every single pain because she's important to us.
[ He hacks out some water in his lungs. Ugh. That doesn't feel so good. ]
She's important to me. She's saved me with her songs once, so I'm here to pay that back in spades. You can say we don't have to be in any more pain, but you're the one willingly attacking us. I'm not here for salvation or rebirth or what the fuck ever.
I'm here to bring Uta back.
[ He queues up No Remorse (1), which absolutely misses putting a lightning rod right on Corbenik herself, but it falls down near her instead. Every time the lightning rod is struck, whether by ally or foe, it will release an AoE Thunder attack that deals damage against foe only. ]
So don't get in my way.
no subject
It's because you refuse to let go of of "Uta" that I've come to hurt you. Every lesson that this "Uta" has taught you has yet to teach me anything new. If I am delusional then it is only because of what I've learned from your hearts.
[ her voice mocking punisher and ganymede both but before she could continue the words from oriade and memoir come through her and she stops. well, what oriade says fully catches her attention, but upon hearing a particular name she freezes. she stops in every meaning of the word; her body goes ridged, her gaze unfixed on any of them in particular. it does not last very long and corbenik recovers fairly quickly enough though there is something different about her. a few of eyes close and the vines, threads, and piano wire that had kept her skin stitched together loosen in some places.
it isn't considerable by any means but something is becoming undone. ]
Unna? [ she repeats back sounding slightly confused. there's a moment of delight that comes across her face awkwardly as she recalls how oriade had been saved by one of her songs, but it falls just as soon as it comes and is replaced by more confusion. ] Unna's songs...?
[ corbenik's attitude will shift slightly as her eyes become less cold but there is still no sign of any kindness within them overall. tot musica remaining also inactive as she hesitates to act. there are no songs for it to respond to and no command that is giving it direction to act—all it does is provide corbenik a vantage point to ruminate over the name in conjunction of what she had been told.
and as she considers oriade's words while muttering "unna" softly to herself, a few of the "petals" go limp from behind corbenik. another number of eyes that make up her feathery-plant "wings" also find themselves closed as though they are looking away from something or refusing to see something. and if viewing them as though they were "wings" of a sort, then there would be no way that the remaining "feathers" of her "wings" would be able to provide her flight. ]
no subject
[ Oriade quietly breathes out. ]
Even for someone who struggles with genuine empathy, it came for my heart.
[ He can stand better due to Noe's earlier heal core now, from where Corbenik is. The petals go limp, the wires become loose, the eyes close... He holds his gun out, aiming straight for Corbenik. ]
So, Unna. Come back to us.
Come back home.
[ Oriade loads Vindictive (10, 8), which is a nonelemental skill that deals damage based on how much HP he lost throughout the entire battle. He lost a total of 98% HP so far, topped off with approximately 50% buff from Ganymede's Calamity skill, so naru can ballpark the damage. It's gonna hurt. ]
no subject
[ Ganymede says straight on out. ]
The impact of those songs have had ramifications. Nothing can take that away...
Their proof of existence, and thereby her own. People's feelings on them, and Uta's own feelings - their reach can't be denied.
And I won't let her existence be denied anymore!
[ Ganymede dances again, to increase the physical attack of all party members. After all, Invoke Calamity allows other buffs to stack.
Have fun :) ]
no subject
The somberness, the glint of hope that they can reach her -- it gets Memoir to calm down. He's still wanting to fight. Still livid at the entity that did this to her. But his anger is not at Unna, therefore, he will take a softer tone with her. ]
Unna...hang in there. We're coming to get you.
[ Noe activates We Need A Hostage (8, 2), which marks Corbenik as his hostage, and she will not be able to act for 4 turns (determined by 1d4 roll, but please adjust as needed!). Any other enemy on the field -- Tot Musica, presumably -- will be forced to spend their actions trying to rescue her. ]
We love you dearly.
no subject
He heard Memoir calling Uta by her real name which inspires Punisher to push himself up and sit. If this isn't going to work, he'll have to get up anyway to attack.
But it does something. As a result, Punisher gets back up as fast as he only can and replenishes his SP with some teas, just enough to get a little more than 1/3 SP back. That allows him to buff himself with Supreme King and thanks to the party wide heal, he sacrifices 10% HP to swing his Claymore and use Breaking The Sky (4, 1) (welp) directed at Corbenik. Maybe at least his words won't miss: ]
Remember what I told you once? [ Punisher asks when he gets close enough. ] Your songs give people strength, Unna.
[ Speaking of strength... listing his current buffs for ease.
> 50% buff to P. Attack, P. Defense, Speed, Accuracy from Supreme King
> 25% Ganymede's P. Attack buff
> 100% P. Attack from Breaking the Sky
I hate yjh (puts his picture on a wall that's already full of his pictures like that one meme) ]
/2
haki voice: you figure it out.
naru voice: no.
needless to say, it's more than enough to drop her health to critically low levels. all of the health that she had stolen from the others and had slowly been restored by tot musica obliterated alongside of any buffered health that she accumulated. yet, the "petals" around her do not wilt as the ones before, nor do they close their eyes; the only thing that wilts here is corbenik as she slumps against tot musica. unconcerned and unresponsive to her injuries but still thinking of the words they had just told her—had been telling her.
as corbenik was not singing, tot musica did not recognize her; and as her voice is currently unable to carry a note to order her companion to do anything, this is how things remain. given the nature of hostage, would tot musica even be able to act in the first place? it's not something corbenik thinks about as she comes to terms with the damage that she has sustained and slowly tries to regain her bearings.
given how infrequently they have traded actual blows, it's easy to miss just how vulnerable corbenik is to actual attacks. though, maybe punisher could have noticed, this time, how easy it would have been to cut her. how, this time, his claymore tears through the vines, threads, and piano wires to expose what lay deeper inside of her. while there is no blood there is a glimpse of the color yellow. some straw.
but it doesn't matter much now, does it? they have successfully nuked corbenik and have officially rendered her incapable of countering any of them. is this the victory that they want? if they came to destroy her, then they are so close to achieving that. punisher is in the prime position to do so. yet, even while faced with this, corbenik doesn't show any fear. death is just one step before she is reborn again.
yet her mind still wanders. their words repeating themselves in her head. ]
