    "That was all of it," Ridley said, trying not to shap. Koa was using the same calm, soothing tones on him that he'd used on the shadow drapion, and it was pissing Ridley off. He wasn't a monster who needed coaxing. "Just that he would have to alter me, that it was temporary, and that I could...

    "I don't know!" Ridley said defensively. "I didn't do it on purpose! Powehi didn't exactly tell me what he was doing to me! Just that he'd have to alter me, and that I'd have to fight a lot in order to fix it." He said, "I didn't mean to do it." Not the shadow move, and not scaring Jade the way...

    Well, Ridley felt kind of like shit now. He'd thought, earlier, that he couldn't remember ever having seen Jade fight. Now it occurred to him that maybe he hadn't seen her because she hadn't been fighting, at least not as frequently as Ridley and Koa had. Ridley might have had a low opinion of...

    Ridley watched as Jade once again ignored him and threw most of her attacks at Koa. Why was she..? ...because they knew that Koa was the greater threat, Ridley realised. If they took Koa down, the battle was effectively won; Ridley didn't have the tenacity to keep fighting on his own. Hot on...

    That was - it had been an accident. He hadn't meant to do it. Now that he'd touched it once, Ridley could feel the shadow energy lurking inside of himself. It responded readily to his attention, bubbling to the surface - Horrified, Ridley drew back from it as quickly as he could. Was this what...

    Ridley shivered as he was Jade's Chilling Water doused him, leaving his disguise uncomfortably sodden. He threw himself at her again, mostly out of spite, and then backed off for a moment. He needed to think here, not just react. Maybe if he timed it just right... Steven zipped past in pursuit...

    "Alright, let's do this," Ridley said, trying to sound more confident than he actually felt. Even Ridley knew that beldum weren't the strongest offensively, so if Koa was going to be focusing on Steven, then Ridley would try to hinder Jade's ability to attack. He tried to make himself look as...

    "I don't know! I'm not good at this stuff!" Ridley protested. In his previous battles nobody had needed to discuss strategy beforehand; they'd all just somehow known what needed doing, and how to do it without getting in anyone else's way. They probably couldn't rely on whatever weird heroic...

    "A double battle sounds good," Ridley agreed. "Those pairings are fine by me, if everyone else agrees." He'd battled alongside Koa several times before, but he couldn't recall ever seeing Jade fight at all. During most battles Ridley could expect to be fighting with someone he knew against...

    Yeah, no way was Ridley going to be talking about that. He was feeling bad enough already without everyone else deciding to weigh on what an idiot he was. "'S fine," he lied absently, turning to wave at Jade as she joined the group.

    Ridley had considered simply not attending the training session. He'd been so enthusiastic about the idea before, so hopeful that it would solve the problems he was having, even if the only solution ended up being a boost to his self-confidence. But considering again now, with a clearer mind, he...

    Threadmarks: Ch04 - The Finding Out Phase of Fucking Around

    He'd woken up. That, in and of itself, had been a surprise. Crushed under that pressure, subsumed into that dark ocean, so far past the point of losing himself entirely, he hadn't expected... Ridley wasn't sure what Powehi had done to him in order to save him. Something lingering, for certain...

    Oh. This had been a terrible idea. Ridley hadn't actually thought anything would happen. The ocean wasn't - couldn't be (could it?) - the actual literal Powehi, but rather some convenient visual metaphor, something deep and vast and existentially terrifying but ultimately no more dangerous...

    While his companions talked, Ridley had been inspecting the dream world. People liked to say that if you held a seashell to your ear you could hear the sound of the sea trapped inside, but really all you heard was the ebb and flow of your own pulse. Every time the water lapped at the shore...

    Why do we pose such a danger to this world? If people from other worlds hurt this one so much, why does there seem to be such a history of offworlder heroes here?

    Well, shit. Ridley was suddenly very grateful that he hadn't insisted on meeting Nova's mysterious board owner. Nova seemed pretty dismissive of the idea the guy might be working with Cipher, but Ridley didn't know Nova well enough to be sure how good a judge of character he was. On the other...

    Oh, this was bad. Seth went down, and Ridley had barely any time to experience the rush of vicious satisfaction before Wes, snarling and scarlet-eyed, was consumed by shadow. This was really, really bad. In the half a heartbeat before the new lycanroc burst his way from the darkness and tore...

    The sandstorm was back, but at least the fire was out. Ridley had just enough time to be grateful for that before the rock slide hit. The pain was a full-body blow, knocking the air out of him so thoroughly that he couldn't even cry out as he was sent tumbling. For a moment the world stopped...

    Yeah, that sounded right. Ridley had fallen into fight after fight since entering this world, and somehow he still didn't know what he was doing. But... But honestly, fuck Seth. "You can't refuse to talk to us and then get mad at us because we don't know shit," Ridley snapped. "None of us came...

    Ridley dragged himself back to his feet from where Seth's accelerock had sent him flying. Sometimes he really hated being this small; it was far too easy for him to be tossed about. The blow had left his body with the now-familiar heart-numbing ache of a shadow attack. Well, he'd be getting...
