ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightZero

Why does It wear its skin like that? Surely It must be in pain? It will help It feel better.

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightOne

It is no Lord, but this is still its domain, and It will protect it!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightTwo

It can’t have it! No no no no!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightThree

It climbs into its burrow! The Lords will not be pleased!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFour

Snip, snip, stab!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFive

It hates the metal room. It hates it!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightSix

Bargain, bargain, bargain-bargain…

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightSeven

It gave this, It got that, It gave this, It got that…

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightEight

Bargain, bargain, It gave this, It got that…

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightNine

It was punished for its gifts. It will not listen again!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightTen

Friend! It so enjoyed dying. It will return the favour!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightEleven

It awoke with a gift! Does It want to see what it does?

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightTwelve

It wriggles again! Is It ready to play some more?

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightThirteen

It is draped in the Dreamer’s energy. Can It feel it?

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFourteen

Esh circles It now! Its thoughts break like its bones!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightFifteen

The ice crawls across its skin now. Slowly. Does It see? Does It feel the avalanche?

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightSixteen

Cook! Sizzle and fry like its kin and kith on the Red Pyre!

ItThatFledPrimaryDefenderStartsFightSeventeen

It looks weary. It will shake away the burden of its flesh.

ItThatFledSafehouseLeaderIntroZero

It was not a Lord before. Now this domain is its own. Advance, taste.

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalZero

It serves the domain!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalOne

So jealous, It is, but it is not for It!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwo

Put away its happy kin, quickly!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalThree

It is here to help with the surgery!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalFour

It is going to fix It. Don’t struggle.

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalFive

Lord of this domain, command It!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalSix

It That Boasts dances and squawks but accomplishes nothing…

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalSeven

It That Once Glittered needs a friend, doesn’t It?

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalEight

It That Bashes needs its help!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalNine

It fights for love! It fights for its Queen!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTen

It That Dismembers is a monster just like It! It likes It.

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalEleven

It came to fight! It came to cut, to impale, to rend!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwelve

It wants this domain… It needs it!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalThirteen

It takes the toys. It doesn’t get any.

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalFourteen

It undoes its hard work! It is an enemy of It!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalFifteen

It hears the Lords telling It to kill!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalSixteen

It That Protects will soon meet its ancestors…

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalSeventeen

It will take its other arm! And leg! And face!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalEighteen

It wants the face of It That Boasts. Give It its face?

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalNineteen

It That Is Hairy calls It weak. It is not weak. It will prove it.

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwenty

It will show its Queen love! Slashing, piercing, biting love!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyOne

All Its look the same. It will impale all of them!

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalZero

Get out, get out, get out!

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalOne

It will make It into splinters.

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwo

It is bad, very bad, misbehaving!

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalThree

It is confused. It That Arrived is not meant to kill It That Fled.

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalFour

It doesn’t want to go nowhere! It wants to go somewhere!

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalFive

The Red Pyre…! It will show It That Prays.

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalSix

Lies! Nature yearns for It That Fled with grasping fingers!

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalSeven

It That Dismembers is not going to like what It reveals…

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalEight

It still has emotions… hurting, writhing, hungry emotions…

ItThatFledReplyToSecondaryDefenderArrivalNine

It likes It and hates It, why can’t It get along?

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyTwo

It comes to aid It That Fights!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyThree

Faster, faster! Fast as It fled!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyFour

Quicker, quicker! Many pieces! Many splinters!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyFive

Many organs for It to hold and whisper to…

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentySix

It is the Lord of the Many with such joy and violence!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentySeven

It That Glows must do what It commands!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyEight

It That Laughs will be absorbed in the new order!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalTwentyNine

Lord of the Many, It is, and It tells It what to do now! It must kill Its and bring It bone splinters!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalThirty

Its Queen must now recognize its Lord!

ItThatFledSecondaryDefenderArrivalThirtyOne

It That Disassembles will have a special place in its domain now that It is in charge.

ItThatFledKillPlayerZero

It did it! It defended its domain!

ItThatFledKillPlayerOne

Its bones will make crisp white splinters.

ItThatFledKillPlayerTwo

Time now, with It gone.

ItThatFledKillPlayerThree

Why is It still? Play with It! Play!

ItThatFledEscapeZero

Just like home. One It dies, one It rises.

ItThatFledEscapeOne

It can’t have it. So says the Eternal It!

ItThatFledEscapeTwo

It won’t be caught!

ItThatFledDefeatedZero

Its domain! Noooo!

ItThatFledDefeatedOne

It doesn’t understand…

ItThatFledDefeatedTwo

Why… why does It want its friends!?

ItThatFledDefeatedThree

It… was only playing…

ItThatFledDefeatedFour

No no no no, not the Lonely Place again!

ItThatFledDefeatedFive

Bargain… bargain… bargain-bargain…

ItThatFledDefeatedSix

Such agony! It can share with It if It wants…

ItThatFledDefeatedSeven

Does It get to go through the Dark Place again?

ItThatFledDefeatedEight

Now It is It That Lost, too. Its are even… Its are fair…

ItThatFledDefeatedNine

It has failed the Lords. It seeks mercy! Give It mercy!

ItThatFledDefeatedTen

It… lost…? It hurts within It. Dull and sharp… still and moving…

ItThatFledOfferBargainZero

It does not want to go to the Dark Place… the Lords whisper to It there. It needs to stay! It will do anything!

ItThatFledOfferBargainOne

The hive buzzes with voices but It is all alone! Let It go. It wants to bring a friend from the Many.

ItThatFledOfferBargainTwo

A gift! Leave It in the Bright Place. Give strength to the Many. Give It a friend. Yes. That is the way to find It That Never Dies.

ItThatFledOfferBargainThree

It is jealous. It does not like this place. It wants to be in another. Such pain and movement here. Does It allow It to go to another place? It will bring one of the Many back.

ItThatFledOfferBargainFour

It wants to flee! Just let It flee!

ItThatFledOfferBargainFive

It hears words It does not understand. The Lords nod and show their teeth when they hear the words. It can repeat them for It. Does it want to hear the words?

ItThatFledOfferBargainSix

Such beautiful skins and claws It has collected. So sharp and shimmering. It will be sad to give such gifts to It, but It does not want to go to the Dark Place. Save It from the Dark Place and It can have its beauties.

ItThatFledBargainAcceptedZero

The hive grows.

ItThatFledBargainAcceptedOne

It moves to be close yet grows no closer.

ItThatFledBargainAcceptedTwo

It will remember the pain of separation.

ItThatFledBargainAcceptedThree

Fleeeeeeeeeee!

ItThatFledBargainAcceptedFour

Listen and do not blink.

ItThatFledBargainAcceptedFive

Its gifts were chosen so carefully. It will miss them.

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalZero

It has watched and listened to the Lords for an eternity. It can mimic them. It can sow many untruths about them. It will do this if It promises not to send It to the Dark Place.

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalOne

Others think It cannot tell untruths, but It knows that many untruths are elsewhere truths. It can bring the truths to It That Never Dies, and the Lords would be punished. What does It think?

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalTwo

When It tries to befriend one of the Many, they leak from their skin. Such moisture! It thinks it is liquid fear. It can make the others feel fear until they flee, wet and shimmering, just like It did! Then It will let It go free?

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalThree

It listens. It is always listening. Does it want to know what It has heard? It can repeat the words of the Many here.

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalFour

It wants It to help It instead? It doesn’t want to die. It was born flawed upon the Red Pyre, and did not rejoice like its siblings to be pulp and bone for the Lords. It would do anything not to go back to the blood and the dirt…

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalFive

It hates its glow. Do you not see it? Blinding, burning, horrible! It must act against It!

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalSix

It hates It That Is Hairy’s brood. No thoughts, brood-mouths open, drooling power for the hated enemies from Before All. Animals, Its are. Diseased animals. It hates hates hates hates!

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalSeven

Its Queen did not love the gifts It gave Its Queen. Not It of Many Legs. Not It of Sharp Claws. Always its Queen is angry. So It gives its Queen more anger.

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalEight

It That Dismembers breaks so many things! Turns bones to splinters and the splinters to dust! Leaves no splinters for It, even when It asks! It That Dismembers is so mean to It.

ItThatFledOfferBetrayalNine

It That Disassembles tries to put the pieces back together. Always wrong. It can’t make the pieces stay. Arms and faces and skin, a big pile. It wants to help, but It That Disassembles threatens It. So It gives up. Do whatever It wants with It That Disassembles.

ItThatFledOfferExecuteZero

Yes, yes, send it to the Dark Place!

ItThatFledOfferExecuteOne

It will die for its Lord!

ItThatFledOfferExecuteTwo

It is just one of the Many. End It and another will come.

ItThatFledOfferExecuteThree

No! It won’t go back to the Lonely Place. It will have to kill It!

ItThatFledReplyToBetrayalAcceptedZero

Its suffering will be legendary!

ItThatFledReplyToBetrayalAcceptedOne

Betray It. Do anything to It that It pleases. It grovels and begs and serves. All It asks is not to go back to the Dark Place, where the Lords whisper and laugh at It, mocking It, hurting It…
