bad decisions, iv edition // for numbers96

[myselfwillbear]

[ IV doesn't know a huge amount about what his crest can do. It's not as though Tron has really told him much - he knows it stops the Numbers controlling his mind, but beyond that? He wasn't told anything.

He's worked out though, on his own, that he can manifest the Numbers outside of the AR, using the crest. It's not perfect, true - Giant Killer is as small as one of his dolls, Heaven's Strings won't leave its sealed form - but they'll appear nonetheless. He's never gotten to experiment with Machu Mach or Dyson Sphere, though, much as he'd wanted to, and none of the other Numbers he's collected have ever been that interesting.

So, truth be told, he doesn't exactly have high hopes for this latest card, 96.

But he'll manifest it anyway, if only the one time, to see.

Which is why he's currently stood over Black Mist's card, crest blazing on his hand as he works on drawing it out into reality. ]

[He's thankful, so thankful for the crest, because he can feel the way those words buzz at the edge of his mind, the way the harmonies try to break through him,

He manages to push them out but then he's too distracted to attack, because it's touching IV that way (like an animal, like a doll) and calling him its pet and asking him what to give V.

(what does that mean)

(he knows what it means)

But he can't imagine IV will actually give it an answer until it actually comes out, and for a second his eyes go wide.

(why is he cooperating with it? he)

(this isn't right and)]
