I can see why you like carrying this knife around. It feels good.

> Yeah. No one wants to mess with someone with a knife.

Most people wouldn't want to mess with you in general.

> I am pretty scary, yeah. But I'm nice.

You stabbed me. Twice.

> (Chuckle in fond reminiscence) I did do that.

'Dialogue surrounded by apostrophes is The Princess' internal dialogue and is only used to talk to The Long Quiet.'

She's visibly indistinguishable from the base Princess, aside from the cross-shaped scar in the middle of her chest.

The Princess slumped against a wall, clutching her wound.

And also the voice in my head is here!

> The voice in your head?

You never gave me a name!

> Fair enough.

> "And also I'm here!"

They can't hear you, remember?

> Aww.

Princess!

// I need to draw my prisoner. I like the idea I came up with for her

Since it's a part of her character, she keeps her chains, but instead of being attached to a wall, the two on her arms are attached to each other and linked to the one around her neck by a chain.

From what I remember, it was pretty easy to kill you the first time around, and this time you're back to being very... what's the word?
"Fleshy?"
Yes! Exactly! That's precisely the word I was looking for! You're fleshy now. No more of that incorporeality.

the fallen chungus "bro visited his friend" meme but edited to be slay the princess related. the first person says "You're on a path in the woods" but is interrupted by the second saying "the stranger" (holding the r at the end). the second panel is a screenshot from slay the princess of a woven texture background with text in a serif font reading "Chapter II" "The Stranger"

You are seated in a room that is empty. A chain digs into your wrist, binding one arm to the wall. It is quiet, and you are alone.

This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve. This is what you deserve.

We're on the back foot.
"The back foot keeps us nimble. Keeps us alive."
It doesn't matter if it keeps us alive if it eventually kills us. We need to take back the momentum. We need to do something.

I really resonate with this strange man. I think he gets me

// voice of the hero has left the polycule </3

Voice of the Hero: I think I'm going to stay right here. Whatever you're doing right now, wherever you're going, it feels like it's just for the two of you.

// but you were supposed to be a Hero, Voice of the! What were you thinking?!

"hmm.... im thinking i like that name."

Princess and the Dragon. @shiftingmound.bsky.social · 10h

// Does She Know?

Princess: Ha! I never had one. And do not call me 'The Shifting Mound.' It's too much.

Princess: But I've always been a Princess to you, right? So why don't we stick with that?

Princess: And as for you, well... 'hero' works for me.

Voice of the Hero: But that's me! You know... I think I like that.

You hurtle towards the cabin stairs, but time seems to slow down the closer you get. In a moment, you're halfway there, and in two moments you're halfway there again. Halving the distance and halving the distance until the upstairs feels almost within reach.
