—THE HAND.

Limbus Company's Mysterious Associate. Call me Styx.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

A river trickles down the cliff, named by this City...the water of the Styx.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

Whatever you wish shall not be denied.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

Start running.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

@th3artofwar_ You are part of the "everyone" I fear.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

You need to start talking to people about the mundane.

[📜 :: 𝓢un 𝓣zu @th3artofwar_]

I would sail through the River of Tartarus for a good conversation right now.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

@th3artofwar_ You open your mind and shove the thought of everyone being stupid aside.

What, have you no patience?

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

I guess so.

How unfortunate.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

I guess we're similar in that way, huh.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

Good morning. Go back to bed.

[📜 :: 𝓢un 𝓣zu @th3artofwar_]

Ah, yes…

(He yawned, evidently fatigued and quite not there yet. He did /not/ sleep well at all, and he was wobbling as though he’d collapse any second.)

Good morning from your… radiance…

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

I suppose I shall set it straight. I will kiss that man and his Bamboo Hat.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

Nobody is actually 'glad' to see me, Manager. Why would they? It was bad news when I was picked up already.

.....

I try to remain prideful about my presence.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

Me of all people? That’s unfortunate…

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

[ 🚬 ]

You might be the only one.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

..I am. Really am.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

Well, aren't you glad I'm on your side?

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

I don’t doubt that. You’re scary at times.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

An understatement. They used to call me a god.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

Troublemaker.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

Not my worst crime, really.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

Terrible of you.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

Worry not. I'll be sure to keep you sufficiently tormented.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

It is what it is.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

I do not worry. I know.

And frankly, I wish I could care enough to get you out of here.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

Ah it’s nothing—

I mean. Yes, it’s nothing, don’t worry about it.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

[Tilting his head.]

What's the matter?

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

…

Mm.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

They'll only use force if you use force.

You still have to aid them on their journey, Manager.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

I haven’t seen the skies in months, I wouldn’t know.

..How long till I forced back in is the question. It’s plesant being free.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

How does it feel to be free?

The skies are usually so cloudy. It's as though it cleared for you only.

[NAMELESS MANAGER. @erraticcinnabar]

I missed the sun.

[—THIRTEEN. @POEMTHIRTEEN]

And still, I hold it, never yielding.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

They all said you sucked by the way.

[—THE HAND. @THESTYGIANRIVER]

I hear the calls of a thousand souls.
