[DROP] cleverly and quietly

WESSEX after all is said and done you're just a carnivore let you in and drink my blood you're nothing but a monster With Ronin out the door, there’s little to do but wait and hope that she isn’t sacrificing her energy for nothing. Her eyes focus on the light, dilating to pinpoints as she feels the effort of getting the Dark Star out of the room added to what it saps. She sinks to the floor, suddenly far more tired than she’s been in weeks - months, even. Since right after she Ascended again. Ah, and wouldn’t that be the icing on the cake? If this is all a trick and they’re just going to kill her for her upgrades? The Monsters play on her greed and suck them all out, equip themselves and then use them to kill her kin. Goddess, that would fucking suck. “Now... what?” she says aloud, asking the Monster, presumably, hoping there’s an answer and she doesn’t have to wait till she’s at her dregs of energy to try and figure out what’s really happening.
