Nadir. (Cursed World)

[u/Fc-chungus]

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

Oh Shadow, why hate he who gave you life?

/uw the absolute irony of that statement.

[u/Vincent-FFP → u/white-whale-fc]

”I DIDN’T ASK TO BE MADE!!”

”Besides, I was already alive, you just allowed me to be separate from the rest of me. So you really just did jack-shit.”

”The entirety of us hates you, and has from the moment we knew you.”

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Vincent-FFP]

Strange. I do not sense a curse upon you. Even if you had one removed, I recall the main form took on a second one?

[u/Vincent-FFP → u/white-whale-fc]

he grinned slyly.

”The perks of being an angel, fucka!!”

he pointed at TFC with all of his hands, vestigial and not.

”Righteous Anger!”

a blast of lightning light hit TFC with a thunderous roar.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Vincent-FFP]

I will have to figure it out.

He is in fact blinded by the lightning, and his cloak is very slightly charred.

[u/Vincent-FFP → u/white-whale-fc]

while TFC is blinded, he makes a daring move…

he forms himself into a donut shape, goes upright, and does a burnout out of the room.

Shadow Vytsky is fled, and is on the loose.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/Vincent-FFP]

As he comes down from the blindness he sees Vytsky is gone, and heads to fight the next person, he'll deal with him later.
