Seeing Chaos: A Jujutsu Kaisen/WH40K Quest

[X] "I have to take care of the last portal. It might take me a while." (Close the last portal before taking a break. You have no intention to work yourself to death when another crisis can pop up out of nowhere and you don't want to reveal how exhausted you are.)
 
[X] "I'll be there--after I close the last portal. It won't take long." (Take care of the last portal on your list, and then help relieve the siege.)
 
Thank you. I couldn't figure out if it was possible to do what I really wanted to do, which was two columns of text side by side, so I went for this and it seems to work.
I only remember a single Quest (an Eldar Quest titled "A Different Breed") ever doing something like that, so it probably takes a lot of coding finesse to get it to work.

. . . the ('s) indicates the Possession over something . . .bruh, the Casual racism is so in character as well
while might be better to change it to "even facing Miguel Oduol's black rope", the in character text is really pulling its weight

Yeah, I thought long and hard about that one, and ultimately went with it, because… it's in character. (Though he'd also think that way of any of his horrible bestie's 'family.')

"I have to close the last portal first," you say, after that moment of thought. "It may be a little while. But I'll be there." You reach out—and up, so weird—and clap him on the pauldron. "You guys should be able to handle things until then."


He looks at the hand, and then at you, like he can't quite believe you just did that. And then—you're gone. To the last set of coordinates, where waiting for you is a blasted crater and a roiling portal: now small, now big, the air around it warped like heat—if heat came in shrimp colours. This one is... somehow not like the others. It's very dynamism sets it apart, to say nothing of the strange shapes you can see lingering around its edges.


(You still keep your sight--all of it--away from looking directly at the portal. Some instinct warns you away, that little voice of common sense that you seldom need to pay any heed, whispering to you 'don't do it' even as the ever-burning need to know urges you to 'do it do it do it'--no. That glimpse you had before was enough to tell you how bad an idea that is.)


The daemons that pour from it are no different than any others, though; no stronger, and certainly no stranger. No threat at all to you, not even as tired as your quantum shenanigans have left you. Until you arrived, they had been moving on immediately after they exited the portal. Upon your arrival, however, that changes, and as usual, they all focus on you. Something about you just seems to personally offend them, even more than other people.


Their attitude doesn't help them, but it does strike you as strange.


As before though, you can and do just ignore them in favour of the more urgent problem--the portal. Remembering how you dealt with the last one, you almost just crush it again, but think better of it at the last second; this portal is acting strangely compared to the others, and once more thoughts of the portal-enhanced Hollow Purple echo in your mind. Something like that probably won't happen again, but... these are new things. Strange things, unfamiliar things, and sure, you're the best there is when it comes to learning how to handle unfamiliar jujutsu, but you do still have to learn them.


The seconds you spend considering this allow more daemons to pour out, reminding you what you are here for. Part of you really does wish you could take the time to observe the portal (without looking in; it's tricky, but if anyone can, it's you), but there are people on this planet. Innocent people, ordinary people, soldiers and civilians alike, and even if they don't know it, they are relying on you to keep them safe from curses. Daemons. As usual.


This portal, unlike the others, fights you. It writhes like an octopus with shoyu poured on it, and your cursed energy slides off it like water off the proverbial duck (you wonder briefly if ducks still exist). It takes you twice as long to unmake it, and you can't help but wonder why.


That aside, even with RCE circulating, you are painfully aware of how hungry you are. How tired. The battle in Shibuya left you worn enough to begin with, and thousands of years in a box—well. You don't actually like considering that. The further you get from it the angrier you get, and those responsible—


That body-snatching bastard might still be around.


The thought hits like a truck, and for a moment, all you can feel is incandescent rage. The power of the emotion buoys your cursed energy up, and look, here are all these daemons just asking for you to vent your spleen on them.


Unfortunately, none of them are strong enough to even vaguely satisfy your rage; crushing them all with an empowered Blue helps. A little. Not much, but it is, you suppose, better than nothing.


Your stomach growls again, and yeah, you should really do something about that. After you take a minute, and let your RCE processes take care of some of the accumulated exhaustion and… hell. You haven't had so much as five minutes to yourself since you got out of the Prison Realm.


A quick imposition of maths, and you're hovering comfortably and effortlessly, effectively enjoying a risk-free kind of free-fall and just let your conscious mind drift for a bit while the rest of your brain does what needs doing.


Five minutes. You just need five minutes. Your brain is still buzzing from your experience with consecutive black flashes, to say nothing of…


"Ha!" You laugh out loud, utterly delighted for a moment. You are the first Gojo to create a new use of Limitless in a long damned time, and it is a fucking genius use of it, too. Being in two places (four places, eight places--) at once is kind of the dream. You can think of dozens of things you could be getting done, being two places at once. You could--


You could have. You could have done a lot of things. Exorcised curses and stayed close to your students. Gone on missions by yourself and with Suguru. Eaten mochi and cake at the same time. You could have kept the pressure on the 'higher ups' and done... just... whatever. Fucked off. Taken the kids shopping. Watched bad movies, gone to a concert, taught two (four, eight) classes at once--


"Damn it." The brief, giddy joy is gone, replaced by bitterness, regret, and once more, the rage. You stare up at the sky--thinly overcast night, at this location, not that it matters to you--and wonder if that body-snatching bastard really is still out there, somewhere. You hope he's not; tens of thousands of years is a long time to accumulate power and knowledge. You hope your students were able to do what you could not.


The fact that there are still humans gives you hope on that front, but at the same time, you really can't help but wonder. This is something that you are going to find yourself dwelling on, you just know it.


Still, five minutes of inaction is all you can stomach when you know that there are things to be doing. (And people to be annoying. Making other people put up with you is probably your only real 'hobby.')


[] Check in with Elias; he could probably use an unbiased (ha) update on the situation, and you're not close enough to reach him on the radio vox.
[] Go back to the siege; you said you would help, and it's been almost ten whole minutes.
[] Something else? (Write in.)

I mean how long would it take to talk to Elias? Like assuming not a full breakdown 2-3 minutes to explain the basics and maybe answer some questions? Letting him know all he portals are down sounds like a great idea, especially because he's an inquisitor and they can be startlingly dumb at times.

Especially when a planet is about to be lost.
