"You don't get it, do you." Cora sighed. "Do you know how many times i've saved people? Helped people? Worked with people? Do you even know how OLD I am? What i've done? How ******* tired I am?" she paused a moment to let her anger simmer. "You? Your adventure has just begun. I want mine to be over. I have no skin in this game, no fish in this tank. I've been hurt, beaten, ****ed up, i'm so very sick in the head, and my life has been nothing..NOTHING but hurt and watching people i've loved die. I don't care about anyone..anymore."
"You care about me, no?" Yasei dejectedly intones. "Love without friendship is like a shadow without the sun."
Pondering for a moment, she continues:
"There is certainly nothing more important in life than what we do at the present moment. A person’s entire life consists of nothing more than one moment piled on top of another, over and over again. Once enlightened to this, the warrior has nothing else to worry about, because he realizes that he has only to live in the present moment with the utmost intensity."
Yasei then ambles over to the frozen Dani, and helps her to lay down, comfortably resting her head in Yasei's lap, as she begins to stroke her hair. Watatsumi jumps down off of Yasei's shoulder, and makes a little nest on Dani's chest, laying his head down on her chest, listening to her beating heart.
"No I don't."With a slight smirk "But yet you keep going, why not just sit down and wait for it to end? Instead you're running from something..." scratching her head a little "or to something. We're here for you and as long as we stand we won't let you quit."
Crispy stares at Rosli, a combination of frustration and curiosity. She ignored Yasei.
"I used to know people like you." she said eventually to the cat. "I used to know people like you who..cared for me, who stood with me, who fought with me, some who even loved me. They talked to me about..adventure, about teamwork, about having big dreams and big lives and happy endings. Where did that get me? Nowhere. They're all dead. Every last one of them. I've done this shit a million times, i'm so tired of killing and losing loved ones i'm completely numb - every neuron is fizzled out. I'm a burnt out husk of a soul with nothing left. And you want to stick around and make sure i'm ok? You're just a number, cat. Everyone. Everyone who sticks around me dies. There's nothing good about me, everyone just ends up getting hurt in the end. The worst part is, is usually not my fault."
"You are a ******* number, you stupid house cat." Crispy repeated, unaffected. "You denying it doesn't change it. I've seen so much death, so much loss, so much..evil. How are you any different than anyone else? What difference are you gonna make? When you've lived as long as i have, it doesn't matter anymore. Everyone dies. Things. Will NOT. be different. I've lost hope long ago. The last time I tried to CHANGE things, I got ****ed over for two thousand years. And found myself HERE. In this ******* DUMP."
She knocks Rosli out. R. I. P.
10 Death save
Crispy stares at her fist, at Rosli, then back at her fist.
'Whoops.."
Hahahaha I dunno how you guys are still alive.
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
A generous and wonderful Dice God.
P. S. Here's is the next death saving throw, use it at whatever time you deem appropriate. 1 success so far

Riktor produces four minor healing potions to give you all one each. He pushes Cora asside and pours it down Rosli's throat. 6
After which, he sits on the ground in a slump and sheds tears for the loss of his boy.
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
Yasei bows deeply in respect for Riktor's loss, as well as his gift of the healing potion.
Feeling a bit bruised up herself, she pops the top off of the vial and swigs it down quickly, healing: 8
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Rosli's eye's with burst open and she will begin coughing and flailing "I DREAM CORA KILLED ME!"
OOC: Did we lose Rivina?
Last to know and first to be blamed...

OOC: possibly.
You go over to Dani who looks to be frozen in place. She is staring into the sky, unresponsive.
"CoS" Rumble- Tabaxi Shadow Monk
"Kiss me again and it won't be a dream." she says, wiping her mouth. "And what's up with red over here. It's like she's been out of it for days."
All her hair starting to rise "I didn't kiss you I saved you... again."
"Don't waste your time, *****cat." Cora retorted. "I don't WANT to be saved."
With a dejected look "We need to work together, some big things are going on and I think we're going to have to save a lot of people."
"You don't get it, do you." Cora sighed. "Do you know how many times i've saved people? Helped people? Worked with people? Do you even know how OLD I am? What i've done? How ******* tired I am?" she paused a moment to let her anger simmer. "You? Your adventure has just begun. I want mine to be over. I have no skin in this game, no fish in this tank.

"I'M NOT A NUMBER!" Shaking her head furiously like a toddler "What if it's different this time? What if you can change it."
"You are a ******* number, you stupid house cat." Crispy repeated, unaffected. "You denying it doesn't change it. I've seen so much death, so much loss, so much..evil.

Turning her head and rolling her eyes "Well I think you're the stupid one, for someone who pretends she's soooo tough you sure cry a lot."
OOC: Rosli would like to ready herself for an attack from Cora
