https://archive.palanq.win/bant/thread/18770161/#18793923Nikki and 'Nikki' both had significantly different reactions to seeing the illusions of Cassie. But when a familiar voice calls her name both Nikki and the consciousness that has taken control of her both feel the same sense of sadness and loss.
Nikki feels a strong urge to run toward Sapphire and hug her. But the consciousness in control of her diverges in intent, her feelings for Sapphire replaced by anger toward Miss USA.
"What next? Prissy and her whips and chains? Amy the liar with her empty promises? Colby's 5head? There's not exactly a whole lot we care about. Do you expect us to fall for the same trick over and over? None of this is real. We're just seeing things because of the drugs. So what is it you're trying to do here, huh? Give us a drug habit?" She laughs. "That's not gonna happen. We don't need drugs to party!"
'Nikki' walks toward Miss USA somewhat unsteadily as she tries to keep track of which of the things she's seeing are real and which are not. "So how about we talk about you. You want the shiny gold title the one this vessel calls Madame Divine has. But you proved yourself unworthy of her time when 5 head made you tap." 'Nikki' bursts into laughter. "So NOW to get her attention, you use us."
'Nikki' claps sarcastically. "Well done. We're sure you got what you wanted. She'll be plenty mad when she sees videos of the noose around this tender little neck." She slowly touches her throat with both hands and grins. "But then there's still the matter of you, the tag team specialist whose partner left her all alone, facing up to the most dominant woman in the history of the WWA when you weren't even good enough to beat 5head."
'Nikki' cackles. "You bit off more than you can chew. And no fighter jets, soldiers or kidnappings are gonna save you. Because those are your illusions. The way you hide from the fact you peaked at tagging Hailey Shittania in, and tapped because you couldn't."
