It's time. There's a plan that needs to be put into motion, and you're the ones who volunteered to do it. You know going in that it's going to be dangerous - but there's no other choice. This is the end, and it's you or the Null.
Upon arrival, you have a little time to prepare. The Null don't know you're there at first, and once they do there's a delay of a few hours before they're in position to fight back. Now's the time to set up defenses or anything else that might help you stay alive. You have to know the fight will be hard, because they know their lives are on the line, too.
Then, the Null attack. With everything they have, they try to stop you, try to beat past your defenses to get to [Name] and stop it from uploading the killswitch. Fear helps out, and the sky goes dark, but it won't last forever. When Fear flees, that particular defense is gone... along with any chance of getting out of there. Here's where those without courage might break, because it certainly looks like it could be a last stand. It doesn't help that Hope can't reach you here either, that any deaths will not be resurrected during the battle.
But it does end. With very little warning, [Name] completes its task. It goes dark, and as it does, the other Null see their end coming. They cannot stop it, they cannot escape. They crumple to the ground, all consciousness and animation gone from them.
And then you're alone on the ice planet. Tend your wounds, mourn your dead, and hope that someone will come for you before the cold does.► This log covers June 15th
► Please tag headers of threads with content warnings where they apply
► As this log takes place away from Hope's influence, any deaths will not be resurrected until people and gods are able to travel to the ice planet again. Have fun!

[she keeps herself between him and the Null while he takes a breather]
No, you really can't. You don't have any other weapons? At all? [she tries to keep the worry out of her voice]
no subject
[Guns are surprisingly ineffective when they don't have bullets.]
I'm pretty decent with a knife. Though it's a lot better on things that bleed. Or are alive.
no subject
All right . . . just--just stick close to me and you'll be okay. I have my sword and I know some magic.
no subject
[He says as though that will guarantee his further survival. He knows it won't. He's lucky to have made it this far.]
You don't have to protect me, go where you'll be the most useful.
no subject
[and she wants to keep it that way. so she's going to stay pretty close]
What if staying close to you is where I'll be the most useful?
no subject
[Not even touching that he might be a favorite. Because that simply doesn't compute.]
no subject
[he is absolutely a favorite and the sooner he gets that, the better]
no subject
[he kind of hadn't noticed.]
Guess regular humans are an endangered species. This is where I prove that even the underdog can win sometimes right?
no subject
[she had, as soon as the group gathered themselves for the trip.
she tries to not look as concerned as she feels] Right. You're going to be fine. [a pause] Null on our three o'clock, you ready?
