Oh no, that would be very rude, they respond, which the narrator finds partially funny.
"She means 'Speak,'" Galaxian clarifies, almost begrudgingly.
Ah. They don't seem bothered. Your brethren are separating from Galaxian now...hmm, well, I suppose what I mean is...that Galaxian. Additionally, it was quite satisfying to make a pretend you. Thank you for that experience. Well then, the circumstances are so, and 'you' have been quite literal to your name for the past few moments, so merely leave and retain your silence, alright? It should be quite easy to do and...well, lies are better told when you have more time to prepare. A chuckle. That is about it, miss. Well then, goodbye in reality this time.

Silence gritted her teeth a bit, angry that she understood that she needed to be quiet when she returned.
Flatly, she said, "Bye." She looked upset for a moment, but it quickly changed into emotionlessness. Is that a word? Huh. Probs not.

Galaxian waves slightly in the same manner he always does--happily. It contrasts with the atmosphere and, frankly, someone could think he was happy to see her off.
The surroundings around her blink into nothing, and then she's back in reality again. Though, her legs are kind of being forced to walk. Thankfully, the movement stops being forced after about 10 steps, presumably having happened so that she could flow naturally into what's happening.
Speaking of what's happening, Echo and North are leaving, Silence following them silently. Behind them is a still, small silhouette of a young child, watching them leave without a proper goodbye, just like what the real him was like.
Offline
Silence continued walking on, not saying a word. She didn't turn to look at the fake Galaxian, and she didn't say anything as North and Echo held a conversation as they strolled down the hallways. Everything that happened was replaying in her head, though.

With a flourish, Galaxian's cape whirls around him as the forumer turns to advance deeper into the throne room.

666's voice rings out in some dimension, some place, to that one entity that is so familiar to them. "Kýrios, proceedings are finished."
"Delightful. Thank you." But the true speaker is also nowhere to be seen. Instead, Galaxian stands there, superimposed with the darkness. What is supposed to be able to see everything instead is able to see nothing.
"My God, there is no need to thank me." 666's smile sounds in their voice, a giggle almost spilling out. Really, they seem much more flattered than their formality otherwise implies. But if their optimistic casualness here were water, their following words have transformed into some sort of liquid fire. "Well, then...it seems they truly are not a threat. From a dimension that retains the capability to commit atrocities of scale unto parallel worlds, I daresay they seem rather innocent. However, it is not as if they can touch a world that can only destroy itself rather than be destroyed by others; therefore, I doubt that this is completely sufficient, my lord." Before even a moment can pass, they add, "Nonetheless, you need not take precautions. If they attempt to pose a threat to you, I, even as an entity with a pseudonym correlating to that of the mortals' devil's number, will defend you without hesitation--so that you need not worry."
"Thank you." The response is surprisingly serious and lacking of any smile, but the tone of the other voice has slightly shifted. "I have no doubt that you will try to help me, but I wish for you to keep out of this matter as much as you can. If you find it necessary to consider this an order, then consider it so."
666 pauses before answering, "I understand, Kýrios." Their tone has become slightly conscious--if one didn't know better, one might even think that they are worrying. But there is no hint of worry in their tone, just the consciousness that comes when one is talking to a being much more superior than he.

Echo glanced back before she couldn't see Galaxian anymore.
The Narrator is not sure if the other Narrator wants them to describe the throne room, but they will do so anyway. First and foremost, it is a wreck in there. The polished flooring was scuffed and scratched, the decorations were torn up. Somehow, it held some elegance, but it mostly it gave an eerie and dark vibe. There were candles still burning in their lanterns, magic keeping the wax from running out, although some were knocked off and put out during the fight. Melted crimson wax smeared on the walls and floor, much too similar to thick blood. Furniture was broken, either thrown or knocked into. There were shattered pieces of silver and gold from a little bit of everything. There was a broken chandelier in the middle of the room that had fallen and shattered, glass poking up and sticking out of the dark rug it landed on. Said rug was tattered, much too fragile for what had happened. The once beautiful room was destroyed.
Offline
There's also a big 'ol hole from where Galaxian punched. Thankfully, he's familiar with and undisturbed by the wreckage. It's quite familiar in the first place, he's seen worse, and he knows what happened, all of which contribute to decreasing the panic factor. There wasn't one in the first place. He surveys everything again, including the spot where the Creator was supposedly and hopefully killed, emotionlessly.
Offline
Nothing is there anymore except for some dark spots of blood on the flooring. It's hard to tell who the blood belonged to. Either it was Echo's or Creator's, hopefully the latter.
Offline
Ordinarily, Galaxian would look more into it, but this isn't really an ordinary situation, is it? Nonetheless, he tries his best to not change anything about the setting, attempting to leave it how it was when they were originally supposed to leave. When he does move, he lifts himself into the air, starting towards another corridor.
Offline
There's not much around. Really, the only wreckage was in that room, so the next corridor he was heading to was probably unharmed and tidy. Idk.
Offline
Ah, the merits of closing doors before wreaking havoc.
But again, since the purpose of coming here in the first place was to see if someone needs help, it's not like he thinks the lack of destruction is weird.
This is more than a little sus, don't you think?
Offline
Perhaps it is a little sus, bit it's not like the Narrator over here can do anything about that. But to say it's sus, I'm assuming the reason for the suspicion is that Galaxian should be careful and take in as many details as he can to figure out where to go if someone is truly hurt. As well, there is always the risk of a surprise attack, despite Creator being claimed to be dead. But, the Narrator is oblivious and stupid as heck so they might be missing the whole point, as usual.

It's fine. The narrator likes to be confusing, especially to the extent where it's so confusing that someone else will need to reread the entire thread and will still go "What?" at the end.
He just walks. It's almost like he'd be exploring this place if one didn't know further context. He's...just wandering farther and farther away.
Offline
XD eventually the Narrator over here will suddenly realize and slap themself for not realizing before.
Hm.
Well, the palace is huge. There aren't any servants, strangely enough. There are many doors and passages, though, and many decorations and beauty. There are portraits of people and places, their names carved on a golden piece under the paintings. It's strange, somewhat, but as well as perhaps expected.
Offline
Unfortunately, Galaxian isn't much into human-made architecture sightseeing, or whatever the official term is. Anyways, he just broke the no-running-in-the-halls rule.
Offline
Oh no! Not the running in the halls!
Ope, well, if Galaxian doesn't do something, he's going to run into a random servant walking around a corner. The servant doesn't seem to notice him, her focus upon her hands. She isn't holding anything other than a somewhat-dirty rag. She looks young.
Offline
Galaxian also just broke the rule in social etiquette and roleplaying where you're supposed to talk to someone when you see them, but that's apparently not going to be the case for him. Zip goes a scary-looking shadow over the servant. Hey, at least he doesn't run her over or make her spill anything, right? ...excluding the fact that people will drop things when startled by scary-looking shadows, I guess.
Maybe he thinks she can't be the one who shouted. Sometimes, one wonders at his judgment.
Offline
The servant didn't even notice the shadow, or if she did she ignored it and continued walking on.
Not much for the Narrator over here to say or narrate.
Offline
Galaxian pauses very briefly to note how casually she walks--possibly to affirm his belief that she wasn't the one who shouted--but then he just continues on. Zippity through the corridors he goes, at this point not being able to be seen but somehow, miraculously, not knocking things over.
Offline
Nothing is knocked over. After that servant, there's no other presence of people. Yee haw.
Offline
Nice, just the way he likes it, kinda. He's kind of weird. He sometimes likes others being around him, but most of the time it's a no. And when there are people, there's only so much he can take most of the time. Ha...being even just alike to humans is funny.
Anyways, he does an entire round around the castle in no time flat. And then he does another one. Is he concerned? It's hard to tell, but yes.
Offline
The castle is dead quiet, the few servants and guards walking around not bothering to notice Galaxian. It's likely they were unable to notice him, especially since he's going so fast. They don't have much emotion or enthusiasm, even the ones who were in a group. No one talked, no one whispered. It was strange, but considering who ruled over them...
Anyway, there isn't anything going on. It's kind of peaceful.
