《B R I C K》Chapter 8: Shitshack Coldersack

Side step. Slash. Lunge.
A beautifully executed display of martial prowess. Ghost Captain speedily overwhelms the tentacled, misty form of Snek’s curse.
Usually, a curse would stick themselves onto the afflicted like a Limpet that wouldn’t let go.
But! With Deus Ex Machina, Ghost Captain, forced the Curse out, though this presented the problem that lay in the fact that nothing stopped the Curse from returning to the Victim.
However! With the tactical use of a Sacred Duel, Ghost Captain locked it in a one on one combat which the Curse has no choice to accept what with Deus Ex Machina still running in the background.
Truly imperious skill use!
Ghost Captain rushes forward. The Curse tries to restrain him by moving it’s inky purple tendrils on all sides of Ghost Captain.
I’ve heard that high levelled Deus Ex Machina users are capable of winning all fights because… Yes.
But Ghost Captain hasn’t reached that point.
So forward he charges, at the mass of misty Curse.
“Isssn’t that ssuicide?”
Heh, running damn straight into a mass of Curses that threaten to skewer on on all sides may look like suicide…
But that’s only to the untrained eye. And this Brick… I’ve seen countless battles, whether it be Plants against Thralls, or Clowns against Chimeras. Don’t underestimate my experience.
This sort of attack works by sending many tendrils of smaller Curses from the main Curse and reconvening on Ghost Captain. Meaning that they all take different paths to ultimately reach Ghost Captain.
By charging straight, Ghost Captain only has to cut down the curses directly in front, granting him express entry to the main Curse!
What an outstanding move! As expected of one who has inherited the Deus Ex Machina!
One may think that Ghost Captain was being a hotheaded brute by sallying forward, but in fact it was the quickest and most effective way to swiftly end combat with no injury.

And like the end to an epic saga, Ghost Captain cuts down the hated foe. It’s crux destroyed by the hallowed Falchion and its essence flittering into the Ether.
“Snek is impresssed! Imperial captains are in another league,”
Indeed, such skill and finesse is to be expected of a Captain!
“Aye…” With a stiff smile, Ghost Captain sheathes the curved blade, “Told ya I would eliminate your bloody curse,”
“Hsssss! How truly wonderful, the ssshackles that once held Snek are no more!”
Indeed, once bedeviled by the inky purple curse, Snek’s… bio plates shine in a nacreous, frigid glow. Their grey bio plates shed as Snek took on a whole different bearing.
How lovely! No way could Snek be a Lizard after this.
“Thou…Thou flattersss Snek,” They bury their head away in their coil, presenting to me a single eye to speak to.
Now shall we get started on our journ?
“Yus! It’s been too long since I’ve been to Shitshack Coldersack!”
Haha! Personally, I’ve never had any interest in travelling but well, I’m sure Ribbon would like it…
Yeah I know it’s rather hypocritical of myself to care for someone else, but… Ribbon’s different. And their… her still charred form pisses me off.
The inactivity and idleness that I loved has turned into something I loathe. I’m able to do things that other Bricks simply cannot, yet I’m wholly content to weather down in plains that mark the disgrace of the Imperium.
Jester… They were right.
It was a pity…
A pity in every right of the word.
A pitiful piteous pity!
“Brick! My compatriot! No need to wallow in self pity! I thought you were a fucking Brick! Brick's don't feel pity,"
True… The Masons always said that the best Bricks are composed and smooth.
"You only make the poor Ribbon look more miserable than need be,” Captain hefts me up, “I’m sure we can fix ‘er up over in Coldersack!”
Aye, that’s our destination isn’t it? I hope it lives up to the yap you make of it.
Shitshack Coldersack.
