IC: Glass
"Yeah, agreed."
With one last look, I turned around and followed Xara out.
IC: Xara - Dorms.
"Alright, good kitten..." I tried not to trip over Sand as she bounded ahead of me, managing to outpace me despite her still limping on her injured foot. I hoped she didn't wind up reopening the wound. "...now, welcome to your new home." I pushed open the door to my dormitory. Like all of the others, the walls and floor are plain and uninteresting. My bed was pushed back agaisnt the back wall, leaving plenty of space in the middle of the room for me to train. And that was all. The bare essentials. Nothing more.
"Hm... I might need to redecorate a little..." I admitted, "...make it more kitten-friendly..."
OOC: Pyre just got stabbed. And he can backflip?
OOC: I mistook agility (running fast and stuff) for acrobatics (backflips!) in his bio and I meant he backflipped away from the knife. I'll change the response.
IC: Pyre
Pyre attempted to use his scythe end to hook on to and steal the knife from Mar'jik's hands before he could stab him.
IC Mar'jik:
He succeded, tugging the knife out of Mar'jik's hands. Mar'jik quickly drew his other dagger, however, and tried to stab it into Pyre's cut from the axe, before kicking at his face.
IC: Pyre
Pyre backstepped away from the knife but then was kicked in the face. He staggered backwards and shot three darts dizzily in Mar'jik's direction.
OOC: Darts 16
IC Mar'jik:
Mar'jik easily avoided the darts and attacked, swinging his axe again.
IC Poly:
We didn't bother to look back, "Away."
IC: Stronghold/3rd Person/Causeway ---> Dorm
He finally made it back. And with his makeshift armor stand, too. He tried to make it to his dorm without anyone noticing. He didn't how people would react to his "extra armor" which did only consist of the right hand and shoulder.
IC: Deadeye
"Do.....you understand? Does it happen to you too?" Deadeye asked.
IC Poly:
We didn't stop walking, but his question was vague enough to warrant investigation.
"Does what happen to us, too?"
IC: Deadeye
"Do you get them too? The flashbacks?"
IC Poly:
Flashbacks?
~his mind is weak~
*he is remembering*
We do not know this term.
We answer.
"No."
IC: Deadeye
"Why do you act as if you know if I am broken or not?" Deadeye asked.
IC: Stronghold/3rd Person/Halls ---> Dorm
He grumbled a bit when he passed by Poly, or rather now Legion, and Deadeye. They were still there. He clunkily passed by with his statue. He had no reason to talk to them.
IC Poly:
"We have observed. We have watched, unnoticed, ignored, invisible."
We are legion.
*for we are many*
"Empirical evidence shows you are unstable."
IC Mar'jik:
Mar'jik easily avoided the darts and attacked, swinging his axe again.
Ic: Pyre
Pyre jumped to the side out of the axe's reach before attempting to hit Mqr'jik's arm with his superheated scythes.
IC: Deadeye
"Could....you help me?" Deadeye asked. It wouldn't be long before he became a psychotic maniac again,
IC Poly:
Help?
~he is weak~
*he must find his own way*
We pondered.
"We cannot help you. You must find your own solution, as we have found ours."
OoC: aaaaagggggghhhhhhh
IC: Deadeye
"Please! I've tried everything! None of it works!" Deadeye could already feel his mind slipping back into his psychopathic tendancies.
IC Poly:
We smiled.
*he is ready*
"Let two become one. Let your mind heal itself,"
We leaned close, clasping our hands on either side of his head.
"Let your barriers go, and be free~!"
OoC: what horror have I unleashed?
IC: Stronghold/3rd Person/Halls ---> Dorm
He heard what they said as he passed prompting him to run to his dorm. He didnt want to be around when Deadeye turns crazy again.
IC: Deadeye
Deadeye's mind was ripped apart, only to be put back together. He could feel his two halves of his mind wrestling with each other. He let them fight, but let them also merge. His mind became still, calming. His rational and insane versions of his mind fused together. They were at harmony. Light and Dark. Yin and Yang. He breathed in, only to a few seconds later utter these words.
"It is done." Deadeye grinned.
ICPoly:
Beautiful.
~what did you do?~
*he freed him*
We removed our hands, he no longer needed restraint.
"You will never know the fears you once did. You, like us, are free. Welcome to the world, Deadeye."
IC: Deadeye
*Well this is strange.*
Shut up you. Karz knows how many enemies you made for us. And poor Revenge, he'll hate us now.
*But it was soooo fun.*
Shush. The one who freed us is speaking.
"You will never know the fears you once did. You, like us, are free. Welcome to the world, Deadeye."
"Thank you. Legion."
Deadeye grinned.
OOC: Well, seems this is what all the Kool Kids are doin' these days...
IC: (Torch/Refectory)
Torch hummed a tune as he was served his slop.
Nice slop.
AAAAaaaarghhh, terrible, TERRIBLE slop, made of ABSOLUTE #### !!!
Weeeeellll, I see you're back.
Yes, yes I am.
Went off in a strop, did you?
...
Well?
...
Maybe, but it was for a valid reason.
What, that I didn't burn something when I asked me to?
Like I said, valid.
Hey, y'know those people are gonna come after me pretty soon, right?
Bah, they can wait, Nagging Torch.
My name's Logical Torch, actually. Get it right.
Well, that wasn't very logical, was it? Go and do some maths or something.
Shut it, Flaming Torch.
Hey, that actually works quite well...like, a flaming torch, y'know.
What about me? I'm...Fighting Torch?
Flaming already does most of the fighting...
Well, I need something to do.
Are there any other key roles you could fill?
I'll think about it later...for now, I'm--
--that other, useless Torch?
Hey, calm it!
Sorry, I'm just on edge right now.
Just...stare at the lighter or something. There.
ah, thats better
so beautiful.
if only everything was covered in flames like this one
it would all be beautiful
OoC: joiiin usssss~
IC Poly:
"Do not thank us, you chose freedom. We only showed you the way."
~you were not like this before~
*do not speak out of turn*
~I was here first~
Silence.
We left our compatriot to their new found freedom, continuing to patrol the halls.
OoC: open for interaction.
IC: Deadeye
Well, I'm getting control now. We need to make amends.
*OH COME ON! That's no fun =(*
Shut up.
Deadeye left for the library, unknowing that one of his eyes had turned blue.
IC: Tuhrahk
Tuhrahk shot him an odd look. It was one thing to grow accustomed to ones weapon, but to name it? Slightly odd in his book. Still, each to his own.
He laughed. "And what exactly does it do?"
IC: Dane
Dane grabbed the pump of the shotgun and jerked his hand up and down, priming it. "He does this." Dane fired, hitting 2 books on the shelf, knocking them both over.
IC: Tuhrahk
Tuhrahk winced, but wasnt shocked.
"I may have wanted to read some of those", he half joked, with a thin smile that only appeared on half his face.
IC: Melody-Refectory
Melody decided to head back to the Refectory to wait some more, she walked in and imediately saw Torch. Unsure of what to do and not wanting to bother him she stood by the door, waiting to see what he did next.
IC: Revenge-(Wherever Rider is)
OOC: I read what happened and I am just going to assume that Revenge was just watching the whole thing.
"That was interesting."
IC: Dane
"Don't worry, those darts aren't for penetration. These are though." He waved a sharp dart mag around.
IC: Deadeye
Deadeye saw the company in the library and immediately turned round. He left, headed for the refectory. He entered, to see Melody and Torch staring each other down. "H-Hello?" Deadeye asked.
IC: Rider
"It was indeed." Rider picked up Claws and scratched his back lovingly.
IC: Melody-Refectory
"Oh, h-h-hello. D-d-do you know th-that Rahkshi over th-there?" she pointed at Torch.
OOC: They are in the Refectory, not the Infirmary.
IC: Squid
Squid saw Torch and nervously put his hand on his shield.
IC: Revenge-with Rider
"So, what now?" Revenge asked Rider. "Wait! I could show you what I have been working on for the talent show!"
IC: Deadeye
"I...think so?" Deadeye's eyes focused on Torch.
*I think people are looking for him. Waste him.*
###### you. This guy seems alright to me.
IC: Rider
"Sure."
IC: Melody-Refectory
"D-d-does he kn-kn-know you? I w-want t-to t-talk t-to him b-b-but I-I don't w-want t-to p-put h-him on edge."
IC: Revenge-Halls
"This way!" Revenge turned and headed towards the Gym.
IC: Deadeye
"I think so, yes." Deadeye strode forward and sat next to Torch, his eyes now permanently blue and red.
IC: Melody-Refectory
Melody quickly grabbed a tray of food even though she wasn't very hungry and sat down on the other side of Deadeye.
IC: Rider
Rider followed Revenge.
IC: Revenge-Gym
"Watch this!" Revenge tapped his foot on the floor. Instantly the Gym recognized him and sprang to life. The custom target course from his past exercises recreated itself and Revenge began blasting away.
IC: Tuhrahk
Tuhrahk smiled. He liked this Rahkshi.
"Well" he said. "Im off to the gymnasium. Ill see you around if you're staying here."
He picked up a book of Staff Fighting Part I.
Maybe starting from the begging wasnt so bad after all.
And he walked out towards the gym.
IC: Dane
"Hey! Wait up mate!" Dane walked after Tuhrahk,
IC: Rider
Rider watched intently. "So your eyepiece locks on to them...interesting." Rider shanked one of the few targets Revenge missed. "But just remember. I've always got your back." Rider said, turning round to slash the other missed target.
