Waiting for the Worms (Dark Data)

[Madotsuki]

Madotsuki wasn't sure what she was expecting when Okor kicked in the metaphorical door, but the rotting marine in front of her was definitely not it. While his sudden appearance startled her, and the stench that emanated from his body drove her to keep her distance, she was not necessarily intimidated. Instead she examined the newcomer thoroughly from a safe distance, morbidly interested in how on earth the guy wound up like this. Regardless, this man was triggering nostalgia within her heart.

When the two turned their attention to her, she crossed her arms protectively across her chest. She watched as Hiro introduced her, only for Okor to question her capability. It was as if she had been placed under a microscope and was being watched. At least the way the marine was speaking made her feel that way. The samurai quickly confirmed her abilities, but the way he explained them... something about calling her strange skills "nightmare magic" made her uncomfortable, even though it was indeed an apt description, even in her eyes. Maybe she was part-demon? It... would actually explain a lot, although the idea left a worse taste in her mouth than the corpse-like solider's odor. Still, she smiled at her friend and Okor's approval to save face.

She asked what they planned to do, whereupon the marine gave a quick rant about Omni. She took a moment to think about his... extreme opinions; she never really thought of the Omniverse of a prison, but she could understand why this newcomer thought of it this way.

'But Omni has taken broken toys and repaired them-- giving them new meaning,' the dreamer pointed out, partly referring to herself. 'Even though that may not have been intentional, you cannot deny that.'

"If the toys cannot fix themselves, then they deserve to stay broken," Okor countered. "Let them return to the dust they came from!"

The half-baku said nothing, but she glanced away. Taking a moment to steel herself, she turned back to face him. '...I guess. ...We'll all die someday.' She sighed. 'So let's go wreck some castles while we're still alive.'

It wasn't long before the three were riding towards the Camelot gate. Hiro drove his car while Okor took one of the backseats. Madotsuki rode in her crystalline hovercraft right behind them. Things were quiet until halfway to their destination, where the dreamer noticed the odd symbols on the marine's pauldron and had questioned him about it. The result was a fascinating discussion about Nurgle, although it was unfortunately cut short when they passed through the gate.
