Room 4-16

[When Bleck awoke, it was full of nothing short of confusion. He didn't recall falling asleep, since he never slept at all, a trait of the Tribe of Darkness. He was entirely calm throughout his paralysis on the outside though the inside was different. It wasn't panic, not at all, but curiosity. Where was he? How did he get here? And when he was able to move, the count floated over to read the note.

And then he laughed.]

Bleh heh heh heh heh! Bleck! The Void consumed it all!

[To his trunk he floated, disposing of the uncomfortable suit he's woken up in and changing into his clothes, taking his scepter in hand and slipping on his hat and a monocle. A moment later, the Dark Prognosticus floated up beside him and he took out the Chaos Heart, the gray object disappearing from sight after a moment.]

Count Bleck is pleased with this result.

[He was wondering why he was still alive though. Time enough for that later, however.]

Floor 18

[Bleck can be found here, studying the Dark Prognosticus.]

This place was not mentioned in the Dark Prognosticus, mused Count Bleck. No matter, for soon it shall be mine. Bleh heh heh heh heh! Bleck!

Floor 12

[He liked this floor. He liked this floor a lot and he spent the most time possible here just watching as worlds were destroyed. Life being swallowed up bit by bit. And he liked thinking that he was the one responsible for it, thanks to the Dark Prognosticus and the Chaos Heart.

Ah! Life was good.]

Cafeteria

[Very simple, he collected a bowl of oatmeal and went about eating it... It was terrible, yes, but not as terrible as him!]

Comments

IF YOU GET A NASTASIA TAG LIKE A MONTH LATE YOU'LL KNOW WHY, LMAO

[kungfubomber]

[It takes a few moments before Bomberman really notices the other occupant of the floor. When he does, he gives a resigned shrug and a "what-can-ya-do" smile.]

Pretty cheerful place, isn't it? [He means it as sarcasm, but Bleck's likely not to take it that way.]

LOL, YESS <333 YOU SHOULD BRING HER HERE

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

[Definitely not taking the sarcasm into account.]

Count Bleck is quite interested in this place. Watching the dimensions blink out of existence.

I WISH I HAD THE ENERGY TO, SOB

[kungfubomber]

You...like this?

[wat]

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

I do, confirmed Count Bleck.

[He's such a twisted "man" now.]

[kungfubomber]

...why?

[and gosh what is up with your speech quirks, Bomberman thought he had enough of that with Pommy]

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

[Since he's still assuming this is all his doing:]

It shows Count Bleck that his work has succeeded. Bleh heh heh heh! Bleck!

[Most people like his quirk though! Except they don't.]

[kungfubomber]

[Oh, wonderful. Exactly the kind of person Bomberman wants to deal with right now in this situation: a speech quirky universe-destroying overlord.]

You...actually destroyed your universe?

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

[At least Bleck has semi-legitimate reasons to do so?]

Count Bleck summoned the Void which destroyed all dimensions.

[kungfubomber]

[So did Mihaele and the Angel. Still didn't make the prospects any less unsavory for Bomberman.]

...so are you saying that you're the one who destroyed my universe and brought me to this tower?

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

[His attitude changes, just for the moment.]

Count Bleck is unsure. The Void was meant to consume all dimensions, not rescue anyone.

And I did not know just how many dimensions it would reach, said Count Bleck.

[kungfubomber]

[Hm, well, on the one hand, it's good to know that there's a chance Bomberman's dimension/world is still around. On the other hand, confirmation -- especially from someone he'd thought was responsible for destroying his universe -- would have been something to go on, too.]

Why'd you even summon something like that in the first place?

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

[He seems sad for just a moment then the cruel mask returns. Almost like there had been no sadness at all.]

The worlds are meaningless. All things are meaningless. With the Void destroying all worlds, they can be recreated perfectly.

[kungfubomber]

[The mask might be on, but his wording still sounds kind of sad to Bomberman.]

Heh. You almost sound like someone else I ran into recently.

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

Oh? Questions Count Bleck.

Who would that have been?

[kungfubomber]

Eh, no one in particular. [Sarcasm alert again.] The angel who apparently created my universe wanted to return the universe to the "Void", too. Though [something occurs to him now] I'm not entirely sure why. [Mihaele had wanted to destroy the universe and remake it because Sthertoth had wanted to take over the current one and shroud it in darkness, but when they'd merged into the Angel there'd been no risk of that. Deities sure were hella weird.]

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

Hmph. Count Bleck is sure there was a reason.

[Bleck's being entirely selfish with his destruction though. There's nothing kind or well-intentioned about anything he does.]

[kungfubomber]

[He shrugs again.] I guess there must've been. But you don't really know with gods. [Bomberman decides to steer the conversation back into something more business-like.] You been in this tower long?

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

Count Bleck only arrived a short time ago.

[Sob, Bleck is not much of a conversationalist. He's making Bomberman do all the work.]

[kungfubomber]

[That's fine, Bomberman can deal with it. In some ways it makes things a little easier, in that he can more easily try to poke at the information he wants.]

Define "a short time ago." A few days ago? A week ago?

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

Within an hour. Answers Count Bleck.

[kungfubomber]

[Just an hour ago? Bomberman's disappointed. Such a recent arrival likely means Bleck wouldn't know much about this place or why anyone's stuck here.]

I guess you don't really know much about this tower we're trapped in or anything like that, huh.

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

Count Bleck knows very little so far but there is time. So much time.

[kungfubomber]

Yeah, unfortunately. [It's probably too much to ask to just be ka-poofed back into his own world with no explanation whatsoever, right? Sure, he might still be wondering what the hell was going on, but at least he'd be back home.] What do you know, then?

[bleh_heh_heh_bleck]

Count Bleck still lives, so the Chaos Heart and the Void are undoubtedly responsible for the destruction of at least one dimension. The Void cannot be seen from here so it is the farthest dimension from Castle Bleck and will likely be one of the last it reaches.

[kungfubomber]

[...that was. Not quite what Bomberman was asking for. Though hey, always good to know you were dealing with an omnicidal overlord. Bomberman might be a little cautious or indignant in other circumstances, but he's had to re-order his priorities since being trapped here. Not to mention that after his recent ordeals...Bleck is pretty much small fry in comparison.]

Actually, what I meant was, what do you know about this tower and whoever brought us here? [Digging up intel from a previous conversation:] You hear anything about a Dax or Jason? Or a Riki or a Zo?
