*His face becomes more solemn* You remember Wit, right?
-
"Um, yes."
-
Well, after Cyan, Wit, Crossbow, Mion, Carl and all those guys I didn't know left they went on a mission to save me. Apparently Tubbs let two people take my body so they needed to take that back, then they went to the Underworld to retrieve my soul. Wit... *Mortar is silent a moment, taking another breath* Wit sacrificed his soul so my father could release mine. After that I revived as I normally do, in that grotesque way, kinda weird to do it in a vaccum sealed glass box. And... Now I'm here.
-
"I'm sorry Mortar..."
-
No, it's fine. *Mortar cheers up a little and smiles* So what's been going on with you? What's that around your neck?
-
"It... It's a collar... I can't fight anymore... I can't even think about hurting someone without it choking me..." *His ears droop down and his eyes turn purple.*
-
Ooh, that sounds awful. You can't fight anyone? At all?? That sounds awful. *He puts a hand on your shoulder* Is there any way I can help?
-
"I don't know..." *He looks down.*
-
Wait, you have your sniper, right? So you can indirectly fight? Like a loophole or something?
-
"If I even think about hurting someone it will choke me..."
-
Oh, okay... That's awful. Who did this to you?
-
"Do you remember W-William?"
-
That tool? Yeah I remember him. Tried to take him though he's more of a monstrosity than you'll ever be
-
"Huh?"
-
You were saying?
-
"Well he came back and tried to take me again and he put this collar on me."
-
He did it again? Oh, COME ON
-
"Yeah..." *He looks down.*
-
It's okay. We'll find him, he will die.
-
"I hope- ACK!" *The collar tightens around his neck.*
-
Sketch! *He tries to pry his fingers between your neck and your collar, trying to stop it from tightening*
-
*The second he touches it, it tightens more. Sketch pushes him away and after a couple seconds it stops choking him.*
-
Are you okay!? *He walks back up to Sketch*
-
"Y-Yeah... Touching it makes it even worse..."
-
I'm sorry, I didn't know
