As soon as she had fallen to what was now the floor, Hikaru threw her other hand upward and grabbed the blade as well to reinforce her grip. As she now had a hold of it with both hands, she was able to exert more strength into pushing it back and away from her. "You can do nothing...," she choked in mid-growl. "I blocked that connection!"

As all this happened, the other Hikaru continued her volley of insults at the current Hikaru from inside her own mind, "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Can my counterpart really be this stup-" Just then the other formerly Ingrounded!Hikaru was cut off in mid thought-speech as the current Hikaru had passed out from the pain of the burning which left the other Hikaru in control. "id" Which she only noticed after she had finished her last sentence.

"I GIVE!" The other but for now current, Hikaru yelled out as she attempted to push the sword enough to try to roll out from underneath it. "What is it you want from us?"

"I want you to see the error in your ways! The flaws in your life!" Insana shouted, as he lifted his blade away from her. "For too long you have run around unchecked by the forces that be. And with your potential for destruction, i can no longer allow this to be so. If the higher forces wont do this, i sure as hell will spend the rest of eternity doing so."

"Are you willing to take a step towards a better you? Or should we have to keep playing these games?" he asked. "I told you before. You choose how this all goes down."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #127 on:** May 20, 2013, 02:17:05 PM »

"Oh? Is that all?" Hikaru rolled her eyes and muttered, "you are a fool," as she scoffed. Now that the threat was gone, she climbed back to her feet all the while glaring at him. "Had you cared to be observant instead of forming your opinions on just what you know. You would have noticed that my counterpart is already in a state of regret and 'change'." Hikaru crossed her arm as she explained.

"Where she has found love, and had even children. I have not. Where she has made amends and apologized to our damned family. I have refused and instead destroyed them. Where she has shown remorse for our past actions.. I have ignored. That is why my spell to re-merge failed, and our spirit remains split. Conflict of personalities. We became simply too different from one another even while being the same. Astral Energy will not merge if it is no longer compatible. But I guess I can not expect even an embodiment to know all that, can I?" Hikaru smirked before changing it to a grimace.

"Now. You got what you want. My counterpart will just not admit it. But you still got it. So return our soul!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #128 on:** May 23, 2013, 08:38:49 AM »

"You are her, and she is you.... You are together now. Two corpses in one grave. You are as much a part of this as she is. Therefore, you hold as much of the blame." Insana declared. "You are no different than I. A broken mind, inside a broken shell of who you once were."

Insana glanced up, and back down towards Hikaru. The room began to shake as the environment changed from a large bedroom, to a massive graveyard, entangled in vines. A grandfather clock rose from the ground, to Insana's right, and Hikaru's left. "Zero hour is upon us...." He said. The grandfather clock struck 12 o'clock, and it began a thunderous ring.

"Your soul is safe with me, and shall be until i find it time to give it to you once more." Insana told her. "Have fun my child. I will return when you have found the right grave...." Immediately, it started to pour down rain, and Insana started melting into the ground, leaving only a sign that read.

I search among the fields, awaiting my grave stones. Find the one of he who was alone.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #129 on:** May 23, 2013, 09:39:24 AM »

"Grrr that BASTARD! I will see to it that he is destroyed SOMEHOW! Existence be damned!" At that Hikaru attempted to kick down the sign in rage before spinning around and glaring at the graveyard. Great. Just what she wanted! More games. What's more. Her counterpart was still passed out which left her the only one to solve the damn things. This just served to infuriate her more.

"Stupid embodiment and his stupid tricks.." Hikaru could be heard muttering to herself as she walked over to the first head stone. Find the right grave? That's all the hint she was given? What the hell was that even supposed to mean! "YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST TOLD ME WHAT IT IS I AM LOOKING FOR IN THE GRAVES!" Hikaru's shout could be heard echoing through the vast silence as she became even more annoyed by the second. Another difference that was not so obvious between the two, was that the old formerly ingrounded Hikaru was not so patient as her counterpart. Where the modern subgrounded Hikaru could play along for a while to get what she wanted. The old Hikaru could only deal with stupidity for so long before losing her patience.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #130 on:** May 23, 2013, 10:10:52 PM »

Of in the distance, a shadowy figure started to approach her. The fog surrounding the graveyard, began to lessen, revealing an old man carrying a shovel. He was dressed in rags, which were soiled with dirt. He smelt of death, and looked like he had been at this for a very long time.

"Another, huh?" he asks her. He looks up at her, squinting his wrinkled eyes, and motioned for her to follow him. "Come along, Miss. We've much to do." he said as he started to hobble off into the depths of the graveyard.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #131 on:** May 24, 2013, 03:12:49 AM »

"And just why should I follow you?" Hikaru's voice was like daggers as it sharply cut through the silence when she snapped back at the man. She had really had it up to here with this entire situation and whether or not this man was there to help her or hinder her, it would not matter. He was going to receive the full extent of her anger as she saw fit. And just what did he mean another?

Taking up a rock in her hand, Hikaru swiftly threw it at the man just as he had walked away, and shouted, "Look here you dog. Either you give me answers about what you mean, and everything you know. Or I will refuse to follow you anywhere and will instead go the opposite direction and find my own way out of here. I am not going to play that embodiments games and let him make the rules. So here are your options. Answers or goodbye.

She crossed her arms, a scowl upon her face, "I am waiting..."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #132 on:** May 24, 2013, 03:24:18 AM »

With a swift motion of his shovel, he immediately flung the rock back at Hikaru. "You young people can be quite troublesome cant, ye?" he said as he continued to walk away. He stopped and looked back at her. "The way i sees it, you have 2 options. Follow me, and get out of this graveyard, or rot here with the bodies. I dont care neither way."

With that, he continued his hobble down the cobblestone path. "Come if you like, i have plenty of work to do today miss."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #133 on:** May 24, 2013, 03:46:36 AM »

Having dodged the rock, Hikaru's temper simmered as she glared at the man and followed. She did not like following the lead of someone else. Not one bit. This was the Hikaru from thousands of years back. The Hikaru without any experiences of love, friendship, or caring. The Hikaru who got her way through just demands, manipulation or murder. Being told off by someone who looked like he needed a good bath and was far inferior to her? That was not something that made her happy.

"Oh! And just for the record! I am follow because I decided to! NOT because of anything you said!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #134 on:** May 24, 2013, 03:50:48 AM »

"Mhm... Keep tellin' yer self that." he said as he led her down the cobblestone pathway into the vast graveyard. "So Miss. Where you from?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #135 on:** May 24, 2013, 03:59:33 AM »

"I decided to follow. I never said I would converse." Hikaru kept her arms crossed as she followed behind him. "Keep your questions to yourself as I do not think they are any of your business."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #136 on:** May 24, 2013, 04:05:56 AM »

"Not a talker, eh?" he questioned. "No matter. However, i do have a question for ye for we can proceed to our first stop." he said, and made a left turn on one of the intersections, down a flight of stairs. "Who builds stronger than a stonemason, a shipbuilder, or a carpentry man?"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #137 on:** May 24, 2013, 04:17:57 AM »

Great. More riddles. Just what Hikaru did not want. Of everything it could have been, it had to be riddles! Damn that Embodiment! "And what if I do not know the answer..?" Hikaru frowned as she asked this. Her counterpart was far better at solving these damned things than her. Which was odd considering they were the same person. However it was probably because her counterpart just had to the patience to attempt it. She did not. Unfortunately her counterpart was still passed out.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #138 on:** May 25, 2013, 11:22:01 PM »

"Then it is all the same... Hopefully you will find it soon." The gavedigger simply said as they came upon a small light, which was revealed to be a torch lighting up a small area where several holes had been dug. He led her over to one of the holes, and offered her the shovel laying next to it.

"It'd usually take em a while to finish this, but since i have a bit of company, can you please lend me a hand in doing this? I'd be much appreciated." he said to her as he examined the half dug hole.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #139 on:** May 25, 2013, 11:51:47 PM »

"Uh.. no?" Hikaru looked skeptic as she stood back, arms still crossed, a scowl still upon her face. "I do not do labor. That is for people lower than myself. Mortal technology users and the like. Do it your damn self and hurry it up with whatever it is I am here for or I am leaving. " At that, she walked forward and kicked the shovel into the hole before returning to where she was standing.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #140 on:** May 25, 2013, 11:59:30 PM »

"Suit yer self." he said. "It took me about 1000 years to get ti this far. Hope ye dont mind waiting another millennium."

When she kicked the shovel into the hole, it reappeared in her hand with a text inscribed on it. "Work makes you free". The gravedigger himself was taking the dirt out one little particle at a time, and gently placing it on the pile next to the hole. It looked unnecessarily tedious to do, as he did not make full use of his shovel.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #141 on:** May 26, 2013, 12:14:13 AM »

"Grr.." Hikaru threw the shovel at the nearest wall the moment she saw what it said, her temper increasing "Not on your life!"

Hikaru then pointed at the hole and glared at the gravedigger in impatience. "Can you not just use magic to dig the damn hole?!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #142 on:** May 26, 2013, 12:18:29 AM »

"We cant always rely on magic to do stuff for us, miss." he said. When she threw the shovel, not only did it appear in her hand once more, but she appeared in the hold with him.

"Sometimes you just gotta do things on yer own." he stated as he picked up another speck of dirt.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #143 on:** May 26, 2013, 12:29:45 AM »

"Well you should! It makes life a lot damn easier!" Hikaru exclaimed before lifting herself out of the hole. Now she had had it. With a swift motion using the shovel that had been forced back into her hand she swept all of the dirt that was in the pile outside of the hole back into it on top of the gravedigger and then threw the shovel at his head.

Eyes narrowed, she continued to glare, "I am not playing around."

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #144 on:** May 26, 2013, 12:39:38 AM »

However, the dirt teleported itself above Hikaru, and came crashing no top of her. Once again, the shovel was back in her hand, and she was now dressed in gravedigger's robes. The gravedigger himself paid no attention to it, and only began to sing a tune.

"A shovel and a hole, a shovel and a hole.
digging till the end of time, till Insana takes my soul.
A shovel and a hole, a shovel and a hole.
diggin, and a'diggin till im 6 feel low."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #145 on:** May 26, 2013, 01:02:25 AM »

"RRR FUCK YOU EMBODIMENT! JUST FUCK YOU!" Hikaru stood up out of the dirt and threw the shovel on the ground once again before ripping off the clothing and turning back to the stairs. She started to climb them.. "I am out of here!

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #146 on:** May 26, 2013, 02:49:39 AM »

When she climbed the stairs, she only found herself back at the area where the gravedigger was. Suddenly, the shovel was once again back in her hands, as well as a sign around her neck that simply said...

"Arent you going to buy me dinner first?
-Insana "

Queen Bright · « **Reply #147 on:** August 08, 2013, 06:26:48 PM »

"GRRRR. NO! NO! NO! NO! AND NO!" Hikaru ripped off the sign and threw it and the shovel down before directing her attention back downward. Something was not right... She had baerly given a glance down when she had felt the sign and read before she had ripped it off. But now as she looked down at herself once more...

"..." Suddenly Hikaru's eyes widened as it somewhat dawned on her. Since when were they that big...? And since when was the floor that far down..? ... How did he? When did he? The unkempt rage started to boil inside of Hikaru as she growled in an attempt to suppress a shriek of anger "INSANA! How dare you, you bastard!"

How dare he mess with the body of one of the Sage Three! What else had that moron changed? and when? Hikaru scrambled to grab the shovel in an attempt to see herself through the rust by using it as sort of a mirror.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #148 on:** August 16, 2013, 10:20:02 AM »

Through the rust and mud, as well as the darkness, she would just barely be able to make out her new hair color... As well as Insana smiling behind her and melting into the ground.

"I think it suits you well!" His voiced echoed throughout the area.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #149 on:** September 11, 2013, 06:32:54 PM »

"GRRRR" Hikaru spun around and threw the shovel at where he had been standing, "I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU! I WILL KILL YOU!!"
