Interesting Iscribble RP

Jacob: Oh, I'll have to give you more morphine, I suppose. *walks over, gets out more of the drug, and injects Alex with it* There. Now you lay there and keep quiet - I'm about to slice a young man's useless arm off. *gets out the tools*

Harry: *sobbing* Hnngh... ghh-k, no, please... don't amputate it... please, please...

Jacob: Harry, It's a dead arm - it could get infectious...

Alex: ...??? You're amputating his arm?? It was that bad? D:

Jacob: His bone shards cut almost all of his muscle tissue. He has no bones, and no muscles. I'd say that's pretty bad.

Harry: *sobs*

Jacob: Go sleep, Harry.

Todd: *...*

Alex: ...jeez.... what about everyone else...?

Jacob: Todd had a brain hemorrhage - I helped him out with that, but now he's in a coma, and recovering. I don't know when he'll wake up. Key wasn't hurt. She's a ghost, after all - but it appears that she's not in the clearest state of mind. She's quite a mess. Key threw stuff at Riolu. Everyone else in the Deriviti side is fine, from what I can gather.

Harry: *calming down from the drugs, and losing consciousness* hhh... hhnnghhh...

Alex: *is rather worried about Key's safety at this point--(hell, about everyone else, too!) It seemed to him like he was better off than the rest of the one who had gotten attacked* ....why didn't anyone else get attacked...? I mean, why just US?

Jacob: Because you all rebelled.

Harry: *passes out*

Jacob: ... *begins work amputating the arm*

Alex: ! *looks away from the gruesome process* .....

*a few hours pass*

Jacob: *has successfully amputated Harry's arm* Didn't take very long... perhaps because I didn't need to use the bone saw...

Harry: *what was left of his left arm was wrapped in bloody bandages*

Todd: *...*

Alex: *had tried not to listen, but his mind has gone fuzzy from the morphine at this point* yurrr done...?

Jacob: *nods* His arm's been successfully amputated. Pray that this never happens to you.

Harry: *...*

Todd: *...*

Alex: mmmkay.... When can'i geddup...?

Jacob: When your ribs are better. Which is not now. I'll X-ray scan them in a few weeks. I think that, by the way, when Harry finally wakes up, you two can help Key.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Alex: ...she relleh dat bad?

Jacob: Throwing things at Riolu, Alex. Yes, that bad - but I guess you can't really tell with those drugs in your system. *sighs* The doctor's life is a lonely one - his only friends are drugged patients, and the dead.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Alex: mm'sorry.... y'should gedda girlfriend or somethin'...

Jacob: I'm homosexual.

Harry: *...*

Todd: *...*

Alex: oohhh.... then gedda' boyfriend...

Jacob: I've got one.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Alex: then wryyy're you complainin'..? 'least ya gawt one....

Jacob: *pouts* But he never visits.

Harry: *...*

Todd: *...*

Alex: May'beh he duzzn't know where ya are... who'zzit anyway?

Jacob: Raptor - the bird.

Harry: *...*

Todd: *...*

Alex: the BURHD...? huh... didn'think he wuz gay.... nuttin' wrong with dat...

Jacob: Glad that you think so.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *groans*

Alex: z'Arry wakin'up...?

up

Jacob: A far as I know, Todd, you're a nice kid who got mixed up in a whole mess of shoot. You don't really deserve this, do you?

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Riolu: *can now sense her fear and guilt and insane rage in a strong wave--she's not in her right mind now, not at ALL* K-Key... You gotta calm do--AAH! *ducks as she throws something else* D8

Key: *bares her teeth in a frightening snarl (just go away i don't want you in here its your fault no it's mine just LEAVE)*

Jacob: *checks the support system that Todd's been hooked up to* Everything's all in check...

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Riolu: o-okay, i-i-i'll just go then, j-just please don't throw--!!! *ducks under something else again* OKAY, I'LL GO! D8 *bolts out the door, running down the hall back to the med room* D8>

Key: .... *goes back to her corner and resumes her crying (all my fault all my fault couldnt do anything all my fault)*

Jacob: *when Riolu enters the room* Ah. It didn't go well, I take it? *is pulling out a spare cure for the Green Flu from a drawer*

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Riolu: Sh-sh-she attacked me! She started throwing stuff at me, she was so angry!! D8

Alex: *...*

Jacob: Mmm. She's dangerous then. Alright, I guess no one should try talking to her. Maybe Todd or Harry can speak to her when they can.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Riolu: B-But... how long will that even TAKE...? Those two are the most injured ones! D:>

Alex: *...*

Jacob: *shrugs* Maybe we can get Key over HERE.

Harry: *...*

Todd: *...*

Riolu: W-What good would THAT do? D: She'll probably see them and freak out because she thinks they're dead D:

Jacob: Well, I meant when at least ONE of them was awake. Which would probably be Harry first.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Riolu: ....okay. *looks over at Alex* Didn't she like HIM too? Before this? Maybe he could help too. :/

Jacob: Yes. Also, I didn't know that.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Riolu: Oh. Well, he did. Apparently he died in their universe, and was gone so long that Key ended up liking Todd. Now he got brought back, and he still likes Key, but Key likes Todd more, so... He was sad for a while. Didn't ya see how sad he was when she died?

Jacob: Yes. I assumed they were friends.

Todd: *...*

Harry: *...*

Riolu: Well, I felt how he felt. He really liked her, so I think he'll be more than happy to help out too if he wakes up first...

Jacob: Alright then. *he looks around* I think for now, our work is done. I'm going to go to my room to rest, and come back a few hours later, alright? Then... well, then it's time for an amputation.

Riolu: *cringes a bit* W-Will you want some help with that?

Jacob: Um... it's a very... CAREFUL process... I don't think any help is required, though. Thank you, anyway.

Harry: *...*

Todd: *...*

Riolu: Okay. Umm.... I guess I'll just go to bed, then... g'night. :( *leaves*

Jacob: Goodnight, Riolu.

Harry: *...*

Todd: *...*

Alex: *...*

Jacob: *also leaves for a quick nap*

*a few hours later*

Harry: *was woken up by the awful pain he was in* Aahhhgad....! Ohhh frack, frack, MY ARM - MY BACK - AAAHH...!!

Jacob: *comes in* Ah... looks like I came in time - I'm sorry about how you feel, Harry.

Harry: Make it stop, make it stop...! D8>

Jacob: Right. I'm going to give you something that's going to knock you RIGHT out, okay? You're going to lose your left arm. I'm telling you this so you don't panic when you wake up. *injects him with an anaesthetic drug*

Harry: Oh god... oh god, oh god, oh god...

Todd: *...*

Alex: *is awoken by both the noise and the fact that his pain was returning as well* aaagh, fuuuuuuuuuck...... this shoot hurts, man.....

up

Harry: whattayou doin'...?

Jacob: He's removing the bone shards from your arm.

Riolu: please don't move. D:

Harry: Shouldn'tit hurrt...?

Jacob: Morphine, remember?

Riolu: mmh... *keeps working*

Jacob: Harry?

Harry: Mm?

Jacob: Don't MOVE...

Harry: S'hard NOT to... I wissshh Claire was hurr...

Riolu: *glances up momentarily, confused, then goes back to picking out bone pieces, realizing that he must be talking about the woman who just left* Do you like Claire, Harry?

Harry: *laughs at this* yeah, butsshe does'nt like'me...

Jacob: Yet, from what I've gathered. Not yet.

Riolu: You think she will, Jacob?

Jacob: Well, I've figured out that she's SUPPOSED to...

Harry: Idun think'so... she'sss been pulled befur sshhe meetss us... now I'msstuck liking'hurr, but not'the'other way'round...

Riolu: Wellllll... we could always help them along, right? ^^; or, maybe the Fish'll do the same thing the Raccoon did to Harry and update her memory or something like that.

Harry: Whyy'd I haff t'love hurr...? Now I'fffeel bad...

Jacob: Don't feel bad about being in LOVE with someone, Harry! D: ... it's just... not the best situation to really BE in love with someone...

Riolu: When you get sent back, then you can be together, okay? <:D *trying to be optimistic for his sake*

Harry: ... noh... wurr'gonn'die...


Jacob: No! D:

Riolu: You made it out last time, didn't you?? D:> and you have almost twice as many people on this side, right???

Harry: *laughs again, dazed* Yuss'we urr...

Jacob: *checks on Todd* I think Todd'll be alright, Harry...

Harry: Thass'good...

Riolu: That's definitely good... I think I'm done here, Jacob.

Jacob: Um... alright. *to Harry* Why don't you go rest for now, Harry? Tell me when you start hurting again, alright?

Harry: Mnn...

Jacob: Right... *checks on Alex*

Alex: *is still out, but has been constantly worked on by the white zombies* *...*

Riolu: ...

Jacob: Riolu, maybe you should talk to Key, since the others here can't.

Harry: Wh'dappened to'er...?

Jacob: I told you to REST, damnit.

Riolu: D: ....I can TRY.... I'll come back and tell you how she's doing... *leaves the room, headed down the hall to Key's room*

Jacob: *nods, and supervises Todd, just in case something were to go wrong*

Harry: *allows himself to sleep*

Riolu: *stops in front of her door. he's startled by the fact that he can barely feel anything in there--he almost ever thought she wasn't there at first, until he felt a little something still in there... he slowly opens the door, peeking his head in* ... Key? Are you in here...?

Key: *is soundlessly crying in a corner, face buried in her hands* ....

Jacob: Yeesh... *looking down at Todd* ... who knows how long you'll be out...?

Harry: *...*

Riolu: *enters the room as silently as possible, and closes the door behind him--only to have to duck under a flying lamp* ?!

Key: *is glaring at him from across the room* .....

Riolu: D: ... *doesn't know her as well as Todd and some of the others, so she looks much more frightening to him* K-Key...?

Key: *continues to glare hatefully (He could have helped them he could have done something now they're all dead and its all their fault everything everyone its my fault too)*

up

Harry: S'not good... too many people... missing from our side... then. Can't risk... can't risk losing anyone else... *he glances over at Todd. He speech was becoming more slurred from the morphine* h'god... h'god, that bish... wh... why HIM...? Why'dey do'saht t'HIM...?

Jacob: Put him in a coma? *works* Who. Bloody. Knows. The obvious answer is entertainment.

Todd: *...*

Claire: They... did this to you just for the fun of it...?!

Riolu: *still helping* That's... the reason we're all here...

Claire: ....

Jacob: terrible, right? That's the way they work. *works*

Harry: Can't s'feel'nnpain...

Jacob: Huh?

Harry: ... pain...can't s'feel it n'more...

Jacob: Oh, then the morphine's working. Good. Try not to talk - you'll end up embarrassing yourself.

Harry: Nhh...

Claire: *looks at Todd, then Alex, then back to Harry. she doesn't know what to think anymore. she never believed in God, but this was a cruel way of showing that similar beings existed* ....

Riolu: *continues to help*

Harry: *looks at Claire sadly* ...

Jacob: Harry. *still working on Todd*

Harry; *doesn't look away from Claire* Mh?

Jacob: I think we're going to have to lobotomize that arm of yours...

Harry: ... hhh'gawwwd... but'm leffft hand'hd...

Jacob: Well, your left arm is the one that needs to go. I'm sorry.

Todd: *...*

Claire: *glances up at Jacob, then back at Harry, feeling a pang of pity, and maybe even a bit of guilt* ...this is...

Me: you don't lobotomize limbs... D: you amputate them... >.>

Alex: *...*

Riolu: *still helping*

Me: I totally meant to say that. DX

Jacob: We'll have to do it later when the morphine wears off, though, so that the new drug to knock you out won't mix with it...

Harry: ... *he doesn't know what to think, not that his thoughts were really clear in the first place. He thought that rebelling against the two animals would have ended a little better - that perhaps the others could have stood with him. Why didn't they?*

Todd: *...*

Claire: ...Why did you try to fight them? I'm sorry, but that was plain suicidal... *says this more out of concern than anything else--yes, she admired his courage for it, but it was a stupid thing to do*

Harry: I thought... mebbeh'wee stood eh'chanss... if... if we'all 'tacked at once...

Jacob: *shakes his head sadly*

Todd: *...*

Claire: And you thought everyone would follow you? You really should have thought this through, Harry... D:

Harry: ... th'didn'tALL hafta follow...

Jacob: *works*

Todd: *...*

Claire: and they didn't. now look...

Alex: *...*

Riolu: *helping*

Harry: *has become somewhat loopy from the morphine finally taking effect* Look'it whah now...?

Jacob: Aaaaand he's gone. *continues working*

Todd: *...*

Claire: ... *sighs* i guess i'll get out of your way, then... *turns, and leaves the room*

Riolu: *still helping*

Alex: *...*

Jacob: ... *he rubs his hands together, the rubber medical gloves sliding off one another with fresh blood* his was all quite unfortunate...

Harry: ... Wurr nev'r gonn'leave...

Todd: *...*

Riolu: *helping with Harry* yeah... Do the Raccoon and the Fish hate us, Jacob? Is that why they're so terrible to us?

Jacob: I... I don't know, Riolu. Maybe they're mad. Maybe they're mad gods, and we're their playthings.

Harry: God'ssah frackin'myth...

Riolu: *is very much reminded of the evil Trainers he and his own Trainer fought so hard to stop...* ....I wish Ranger was here... he'd know what to do...

Jacob: Would he? Would he truly know what to do in this situation?

Harry: Th'frack'ssgoin' on...?

Riolu: ...w-we've dealt with people like them before... evil trainers would brainwash their Pokémon and use them to hurt other Pokés and THEIR trainers...

Jacob: Tell me, Riolu - would one ever be able to destroy a "trainer"...?

Harry: *weakly laughs at nothing*

Riolu: *looks up, somewhat startled by the question* Destroy? R-Ranger and I would never DESTROY them... But... I'm pretty sure they aren't immortal... I've seen them get hurt before...

Jacob: Well then, that's the difference. You can't hurt the creators.

Harry: Sssghfeelingsssootired...

Riolu: mmhh..... *is somewhat discouraged this. he continues to work on Harry*

up

THE FISH: I'M NOT A WORLDLY ELEMENT, DERP.

Key: *picks herself up off the ground, already feeling the pain fading away--then sees Todd , on the ground, unmoving* D8> ....

THE FISH: THE FUN PART IS, SINCE SHE CAN'T DIE OR GO UNCONSCIOUS OR ACTUALLY GET HURT, KEY GETS TO WATCH ALL OF IT! :D NOW, WHERE'S ALEX?

Alex: Aw, shoot. D8 *slowly backs away from THE FISH*

THE FISH: *finds him* OH, THERE YOU ARE.

Key: D8< .... *knows she can't touch either of them, and possessing someone and using them to fight would only result in them being killed* .... D8>

Mikenno: *is appalled by the horrors happening below--the creators have never been this cruel* Th-This needs to stop...

Eclipse: *bitterly* Well, Mikenno, when you figure out a way to stop them without getting us killed, then be my guest.

Todd: *yup, his brain is bleeding, and he's unconscious*

Scott: *enraged, he shoots at THE RACCOON*

THE RACCOON: HAHAHAH. *GIVES SCOTT A QUICK TRANSFORMATION INTO A MINDLESS ZOMBIE - A HUNTER*

Scott: AAURAAIIHH...!! RRYYYEEE!!

Harry: *he is unable to move, feeling massive amounts of pain all over. He weakly watches all of this, including when THE FISH targets Alex* Ohh ghh... no... no...

Mikenno: .... *continues to watch, waves of suffering still able to reach them at the height they were flying at* ...nrr...

Key: *sees Scott transform, and her panic rises even more (how much can one person take...!?)*

Alex: *shoots and runs, trying to get out of THE FISH's range* D8>

THE FISH: OH NO YOU DON'T. *reaches for Alex with her other hand and grabs him, then smacks him into the ground near Harry, so he can hear him*

Alex: *cries out in agony as he feels amost every single one of his ribs break--he coughs loudly, hacking up blood, then weakly lets his head fall back on the ground* nnnnh....

Key: *sees Alex--and snaps. that was more than she could take...and she simply breaks down, crying, screaming, completely incoherent, even if she could speak at all. Key was GONE.*

Eclipse: frack...! That's it. I'm doing something - I don't care what, I'm - wait. Wait, that's BOB...!

Bob the Intruder: *THERE* >:( ...

THE RACCOON: OH HELLO BOB. ARE YOU HERE TO YELL AT ME?

Bob: What are you doing, goshdangit? >:(

THE RACCOON: *TO THE FISH* I THINK HE'S HERE TO YELL AT US.

Harry: Oh god...oh god...!

Scott: *pounces on Bob*

Bob: Hey! D8<

Scott: *cannot hurt Bob, for Bob doesn't have any intestines to rip out* Hurr??

Mikenno: ?? ... *flies a bit lower to the ground*

THE FISH: *still holding the two survivors down* OH, GOOD FOR HIM. WE ALREADY HAD HARRY YELLING AT US, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

Alex: *is in extreme pain*

Key: *is completely gone*

THE RACCOON: YEAH, BUT I LIKE BOB, AND HE'S A POWERFUL CHARACTER BECAUSE HE'S UNREALISTIC.

Bob: *punches Scott off of him with MASSIVE PAAAAAINS*

Scott: Arf! *is punched away*

THE RACCOON: SEE? LIKE THAT.

Bob: What are you DOING to them, guys?? D8<

Harry: ...

THE FISH: PUTTING THEM IN THEIR PLACE. *takes her hands off Harry and Alex--she figures they won't go anywhere anyway*

Alex: *coughs up some more blood*

THE FISH: THEY REFUSED TO FIGHT EACH OTHER, SO WE TOOK MATTERS INTO OUR OWN HANDS. PAWS. FINS. WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL THEM.

Mikenno: ...

Bob: Hey - they learned their lesson then. Let them go, willya? Please?

THE RACCOON: WELL, I THINK WE'RE DONE ANYWAYS. MAYBE WE SHOULD.

Harry: ...

Scott: Grraauuhh! Huuraahhh!

THE FISH: AWWW. OKAAAY. *shrinks back down into the goldfish, and flops back into the bowl, which poofed out of nowhere* AND SO WE GO.

Mikenno: *figures it's safe to be on the ground now, and lands near Bob*

Bob: *looks tired* ...

THE RACCOON: *turns to normal as well* WHEEE.

Todd: *still unconscious*

Eclipse: *gets off Mikenno* ...

Harry: God... oh god...

THE RACCOON: I GUESS WE SHOULD SEND THEM BACK.

THE FISH: TO THE STRONGHOLDS? YES, LET'S.

Mikenno: *looks around at the chaos, the Origini and Deriviti that were now simply standing and looking on in terror* ...

Alex: g-ghh... *tries to sit up, but is unable to, and he falls back to the ground* f-frack...

Key: *is still very much gone*

THE RACCOON: *POOFS THEM ALL TO THE STRONGHOLDS*

Todd: *still unconscious*

Harry: *can't move*

Scott: *is a zombie*

Everyone: D8 ...

THE RACCOON: OH RIGHT. *POOFS THE INJURED INTO THE MEDICAL WING

AT THE MEDICAL WING

Jacob: HOLY shoot!! D8>

Key: *was poofed instead to her room, as she technically wasn't injured...her state hasn't changed*

AT THE MED WING

Riolu: *runs in. he managed to remain mostly uninjured* Jacob! D: I-I'm here to help you!

THE FISH: *to the RACCOON* YOU KNOW, NONE OF THE ORIGINI HAD IT AS BAD AS THESE GUYS. THAT'S KINDA FUNNY.

THE RACCOON: HAHA, YEAH, IN A HORRIBLE SADISTIC WAY.

Jacob: What... what did you DO to them...??

THE RACCOON: OH, HORRIBLE THINGS. HANG ON. *POOFS UP SOME MORE CREATURES TO HELP JACOB - STRANGE UNDEAD BEINGS WITH WHITE SKIN. THEY WORE SCRUBS, HUMOROUSLY*

Jacob: Whah...

THE RACCOON: THEY'LL HELP YOU AND RIOLU. THEY WILL FOLLOW YOUR ORDERS. USE THEM WISELY. BY THE WAY, TODD HAD A BRAIN HEMORRHAGE, AND HARRY HAS A SHATTERED SPINE. ALSO, HIS LEFT ARM'S BONES EXPLODED, SO YEAH.

Jacob: Agah... agah...! D8>

THE RACCOON: AND SCOTT IS A ZOMBIE.

Jacob: Agahhh...! D8>

THE RACCOON: AND ALEX HAS A FEW CRUSHED RIBS.

Jacob: AGAAHH...!! DDD8>

THE FISH: IT COULD'VE BEEN WORSE. WE COULD HAVE DONE THE SAME TO EVERYONE ELSE TOO! :D OH, ALSO, KEY'S CROSSED BORDER INTO INSANITY. :D

Riolu: *whimpers when he realizes that everyone who was injured was from the same universe* ... D:>

Claire: *bursts into the room* okay, what the hell happ-- *sees the condition of the three people on the beds, and freezes, eyes widening* W-What did you do to them...!?

THE FISH: OH LOOK, THE LONE SURVIVOR. DON'T MAKE THE RACCOON REPEAT HERSELF, IT'S RATHER OBVIOUS WHAT HAPPENED.

Claire: *realizes with a shock that she really IS the only survivor... except--* W-Where's the ghost girl...?

THE RACCOON: SHE WENT NUTSO, AND SHE'S IN HER ROOM. BAHEH. HEHEHEH.

Todd: *...*

Jacob: A brain hemorrhage...? God - can I even DO...? A brain hemorrhage and a destroyed left arm and spine... oh god... *starts working on Todd*

Zombie Helper: *gives Harry morphine*

Harry: *whimpers*

Other Zombie Helper: *works on Alex*

Claire: b-but... WHY? D:>

THE FISH: BECAUSE WE CAN. DEAL WITH IT. JUST BE GLAD WE DIDN'T DO THE SAME TO YOU.

Alex: *is in serious pain--it takes all his willpower just to keep his mouth shut* nnnh....

Riolu: ... D: .... *goes to help whoever's working on Harry*

THE FISH: I THINK WE SHOULD GIVE THEM A BREAK. DO THEY GET A BREAK? I FEEL THEY NEED TIME TO REFLECT ON TODAY.

THE RACCOON: YEAH, OKAY. *POOFGONE*

Jacob: *helps the helpers help*

White Zombies: *helping*

Harry: *in a less of a frackload of pain, due to the morphine taking affect. He notices Claire* ... were you... were you out there with... us...?

Todd: *...*

Claire: *goes to stand by his bed, keeping out of the way of the workers* Yes, I was... I just don't know why they went after every survivor but me...

Riolu: *helping* maybe they forgot?

THE FISH: OH NO, I DID THAT ON PURPOSE. *poofgone*

Claire: ....I'd ask if you were okay, but i'm pretty sure i know the answer to that.

Alex: *has passed out*

Harry: *in a mumble* ... sucks that you can't remember me... *in a normal voice, somewhat* s'getting better... drugs are helping...

Todd: *...*

Jacob: *still works on Todd*

Zombies: *help*

Claire: *is pretty sure she heard the first part right, but doesn't comment on it...though she DOES feel like she knows him* ...I'm guessing you won't be fighting for quite a while...

Riolu: unless a miracle happens... though... it's probably not... *continues to help with Harry*

Alex: *is worked on by the zombies*

up

Harry: *finally runs back from where he was punched. He doesn't know what's broken, and doesn't care. He spits up some blood. Still uncaring* YOU WON'T KILL ME THAT EASILY! D8<

THE RACCOON: SILLY MAN - THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU'RE ALIVE RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO BE!

Giant: *crashes into THE FISH, groaning angrily*

Eclipse: D8

Todd: *sinks to the ground, onto his knees, hands still over his head* no no no no no no...

THE FISH: *backhands the giant, easily swatting it back* YOU ASSUME TOO MUCH, HARRY. AFTER WE'RE DONE, YOU WILL WISH FOR DEATH! *swipes at Mikenno*

Mikenno: AAH!! *swerves to the side, narrowly avoiding the claws* D8

Key: *doesn't know what to do, doesn't know what to do, doesn't know what to--(AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!) lets out a wordless scream, clutching her head in her hands (STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP!!)*

THE FISH: NO. *laughs maniacally*

Giant: *stumbles back, groaning* Ghhhrrroohh...

Harry: *shouts at the two sides* HELP US! WE CAN OVERTAKE THEM! D8<

Origini and Deriviti: ._.;

THE RACCOON: *TURNS INTO A MONSTEROUS RAT-LIKE RACCOON CREATURE WHICH SWATS AT HARRY*

Harry: !! *rolls out of the way*

Reginald: *bites THE RACCOON'S leg* D8<

THE RACCOON: HEY!

Reginald: Not to Harry! Not to my teammate!!

THE RACCOON: *SMASHES HIM INTO THE GROUND*

Harry: !!

Todd: *in the fetal position, whimpering*

Eclipse: ... oh shoot...

Mikenno: We need to stop this...!! Or we'll all die!! D8>

THE FISH: YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELF FOR CHOOSING NOT TO FIGHT! *stretches all the way down so her massive face (and jaws) were right in front of Harry, grinning all the while* AND NOW YOU'VE CAUSED THE OTHERS SUFFERING. LOOK AROUND YOU.

Eclipse: ... my thoughts exactly.

Harry: *he refuses to look. Instead, he chainsaws THE FISH in the face, as the opportunity had opened itself* D8<

Todd: *fetal position*

THE RACCOON: *IS ATTACKED BY SONEZIO, WHO WAS BACK ON HIS FEET. A BULLET WAS SHOT INTO HER FACE* OW. THE CRAP??

Sonezio: ... merda...

THE FISH: OW. THAT WAS RUDE, YOU KNOW. *brings her giant claws around and flicks him away*

Key: *has completely broken down at this point*

Mikenno: ....they want Harry. They've pinned the blame for all this on him, and they're trying to torment him with it...

Eclipse: Why HARRY? D:

Harry: *quickly glances back, and notices the broken down Key and Todd. Reginald was twisting on the ground in pain. Sonezio was bleeding everywhere (though still trying to stand strong* Oh shoot...

Todd: *fetal position*

Mikenno: ...because he was the one who said we shouldn't fight. but... i think there might be something else...

THE FISH: NOW YOU SEE? NOW YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE CAUSED?

Everyone else: *is keeping their distance* ._.;

THE FISH: *to them* AND YOU! IF YOU DO NOT COME HERE AND FIGHT, WE SHALL PUNISH YOU AS WELL!

Eclipse: ... what do you mean, Mikenno...?

Harry: *suddenly yells out in anger, and punches THE RACCOON in the face* YOU TOOK MY LIFE AWAY FROM ME!! YOU TOOK TODD AWAY FROM ME!! YOU TOOK KEY AWAY FROM ALL OF US - STOLE HER LIFE!!

THE RACCOON: *SHAKES IT OFF* DUH?

Harry: WE SHOULDN'T GIVE IN FOR YOUR BULLshoot ENTERTAINMENT!

THE RACCOON: DOHOHOHOHO...

Harry: *suddenly he feels sharp pain in the arm that was holding the chainsaw - the bones in his arm had exploded. The fragments jutted out of his skin* AAAHHAAAUUGH...!!

Everyone: ._.; !! *fight each other*

Todd: *his head snaps up* Harry...!

Scott: HARRY! D8

Key: *snaps her head up as well* ?!

THE FISH: *snorts when the others start fighting, then lowers her head back down to Harry's level*

Mikenno: remember back when those two were still Mish and Critic? They always picked one or two characters to focus on at once... perhaps Harry is that character.

Eclipse: ... oh no.

Harry: *trying not to pass out from the pain he's in, but tears were welling up in his eyes. He glares at THE FISH, and spits at her* I'm not your entertainer.

THE RACCOON: STUPID BOY. YOU DON'T LEARN. *PUNCHES HIM*

Harry: !! *stumbles back, but continue glaring at them both* ...

Todd: *standing up* ...

Mikenno: *watches, feeling very much useless* What do we do? zWhat can we do...?

THE FISH: YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND. *backhands Harry and knocks him over, then holds him down with one massive paw* THE MORE YOU DEFY US, THE MORE PAIN WE CAUSE YOU, AND CLOSER YOUR FRIENDS COME TO BREAKING.

Key: *slowly straightens out, dropping her hands to her side* ....

Eclipse: ... We can't do anything, Mikenno...

Harry: *still, there is strength in his voice* SEND US BACK! SEND US BACK!!

THE RACCOON: *MAKES HIS SPINE COLLAPSE INTO ITSELF*

Harry: *lets out a scream of pain*

Todd: *he can't take it anymore. He leaps at THE RACCOON (as she was the closest of the two animals) angrily - maddened by the torture that was being preformed on Harry* RYYYYEEE!!

Scott: TODD, NO!!

THE RACCOON: *UNMOVING AS TODD BIT AND SCRATCHED AT HER BACK* OH GOODNESS.

Harry: Todd...! D8>

Key: *enraged, she runs at THE FISH, intending to possess her* SHKKKKKKKKK!!!

THE FISH: *continues to hold Harry down, even though he wouldn't be able to move anyway* I SEE YOU!

Key: *runs into THE FISH* D8<

THE FISH: THAT TICKLES. *kicks her out, launching her across the field*

Key: !? *hits the ground hard--the impact would have killed her if she had been alive-- and screams wordlessly in agony*

THE RACCOON: HOW DOES ONE SCREAM IN AGONY WHEN YOU'RE A GHOST AND CANNOT FEEL PAIN FROM WORLDY ELEMENTS? *STILL BEING CLAWED AND BITTEN BY TODD*

Todd: AAHHRRAUHH!! *continues*

THE RACCOON: *GIVES TODD A BRAIN HEMORRHAGE*

Todd: !!!! *falls to the ground, off of THE RACCOON's back, unconscious*

Eclipse: ...

Todd: *as soon as she does, Todd punches Harry in the arm*

Harry: *rubs his arm* Ow... D:>

Todd: Why did you do this?? WHY DID YOU BOTH DO THIS??

Harry: *he feels like he owes Todd, or something - that forcing him out here was wrong - even though worse things could happen if they didn't go out into the white space... but then Harry had an idea. He called out to the other side* HEY! HANG ON A MINUTE! WHAT IF WE DIDN'T FIGHT?

Todd: ??

Eclipse: What?? D:

Key: ?!??!?!

ON THE OTHER SIDE

Ignis: ...did he just say "don't fight?"

MechaDragon: *in a garbled robot voice* AFFIRMATIVE.

Nomines: ....

Mikenno: ....It's not a bad idea...

Harry: *continues* I-I MEAN, THEY'RE FORCING US TO GO OUT HERE, BUT NOTHING'S STOPPING US FROM JUST HANGING AROUND AND DOING NOTHING TO EACH OTHER!

Malvagita: You mad overlander. I LIKE the fights.

Eclipse: That's only YOU.

Malvagita: And Newman.

Newman: YAAAAAY! 8D

Eclipse: ...

Todd: W-we're not fighting...?

MechaDragon: CEASING THE BATTLES IMEDIATELY WOULD LOWER THE CHANCE OF CASUALTIES TO 0%.

Ignis: I kinda like those odds.

Mikeno: as do I. *steps forward, and calls back loudly* WE ACCEPT YOUR PROPOSAL, DERIVITI! A CEASE-FIRE IS IN EFFECT!

Key: *starts thinking it's a good idea, but she suddenly remembers what happened the last time they sat and did nothing. and that had only been FOUR OF THEM. she starts to panic as she thinks of what they could do if ALL of them stop fighting, and starts nudging Harry's shoulder, getting more and more desperate by the second* D8>

Alex: *is gawking at Key, not having seen her in this state until now* D:> ......

Harry: *doesn't understand* What? What is it, Key?

Todd: *he relaxes, his shaking and twitching ceasing* ...

Eclipse: ... *walks over to the Origini - more specifically to Mikenno*

Key: *goes into Harry without hesitation, and projects an image of them quietly sitting on the bed as animals, then him getting torn to pieces by zombies, then the Raccoon and the Fish calling for entertainment--then an image of all the remaining characters doing nothing. she makes sure Harry feels her panic and terror (IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING, WE'LL ALL DIE!!)* D8>

Mikenno: .... *steps forward to meet Eclipse in the middle*

Harry: *shakes his head* If they try anything, Key, they'll have to go through ALL of us... we have nothing to worry about.

Todd: ...

Eclipse: Mikenno. Now that we're on more peaceful terms, can you please explain to me what has been going on with you?

Mikenno: *lowers his head to be at eye-level with Eclipse, but looks at the floor* ...I don't even know anymore, Eclipse. At first, I was going to be a double agent, but... I don't know what's happening, I can feel myself slipping....

Key: *continues to project her fear, giving him images of all the landscape changes-black, blue-of him dead again, of all the injured, trying to get her point across. (THEY WILL KILL US WITHOUT BATTING AN EYELASH, HARRY!)*

Me: Key's getting a little manic now.

Me: Why, yes.

Harry: Hey. They wouldn't kill us. If they killed all of us, then they'd have no characters. And that would bore them.

Todd: KILL?? WHO SAID KILL??

Harry: Calm down, Todd. I'm just talking to Key.

Todd: *rubs his hands together nervously*

Eclipse: I don't get it.

Mikenno: I-I was holding back the first few fights... I was sparing you guys on purpose. I'm not doing that anymore and I don't know why, it's like I can't control myself anymore...!

Key: *gives him images of the chimera, the croc monser, and the giant mech with the little girl on it. (they can replace us EASILY, Harry! They can do anything, ANYTHING THEY WANT!)*

Alex: ... *walks over and taps Todd on the shoulder*

Me: When do we come in? :3

Me: It wasn't a mech, it was a giant with steel muscles inside him, and a giant metal bowl-helmet. ^^;

Eclipse: You should've joined US, Mikenno...

Harry: But who knows how long they've had to develop us? They wouldn't want to LOSE that...

Todd: *twitches and spins around to face Alex* Wh-what?! WHAT?? D8>

Me: Also, after Alex and Mikenno say their thingers.

Key: *steps out of Harry, just about ready to rip her hair out (WHY DOESN'T HE GET IT!?)*

Alex: Is Key really...? *sees her there, and lowers his voice* I-Is she really there, o-or am I just seeing things?

Todd: Y-y-yeah - sh-she's a g-ghost now...

Harry: ? :/

THE RACCOON: *SUDDENLY APPEARS*

Harry: ! D8

THE RACCOON: WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS??

Key: *would have screamed if she could have. (I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, AAAAAGH!!)*

THE FISH: OKAY YOU GUYS, WHAT THE HELL. DO SOMETHING. OR WE WILL.

Harry: We... we're not afraid of you! Not anymore! D:<

THE RACCOON: YOU USED THAT SAME LINE WITH BOB WHEN YOU ALL CONFRONTED HIM. HOW DELIGHTFUL. EXCEPT YOU SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN, HARRY.

Harry: *glares hatefully*

THE RACCOON: THE FISH AND I ARE GOD-LIKE BEINGS. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE AFRAID OF US.

Todd: *having a panic attack, he hyperventilates, shaking* Oh no oh no oh no no no no no no...!

Eclipse: D8<

Key: *is starting to go into a similar panic attack. yes, she's a ghost, yes, things pass right through her, but did that matter to them? no. she could probably die a thousand times over and suffer the same as the rest of them* SSSSSHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

Everyone else: *if they weren't freaked out by the Raccoon's words, they were definitely freaked out by the noise Key made*

THE FISH: SHE HAS THE RIGHT IDEA. YOU'VE REFUSED TO FIGHT, AND SO YOU SHALL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES. *waves a fin, and everyone's weapons are returned to them* NOW, GO FIGHT.

Harry: >:( ... *he throws down his weapon*

THE RACCOON: OH HELL NAW.

Eclipse: HARRY... >_>;

Harry: >:(

THE RACCOON: I THINK THEY NEED A LESSON TO BE TAUGHT. YOU IN, FISH?

Todd: Harry, What have you done?? D8> *FREAKED OUT*

THE FISH: OBVIOUSLY. DEUS BATTLE, GO! *jumps out of the fishbowl and--through the floor? vanishing completely*

Key: *looks all over the floor, now BEYOND paranoid* SHHHHHKKKKKKKKJJKKK!!! D8>

Mikenno: ...Eclipse, get on my back. NOW!! D8>

Eclipse: *does so without hesitation*

THE RACCOON: *CACKLES MANIACALLY*

Harry: ... frack.

Todd: *holds his head in his hands, shivering, panicking* no no no no no no no no...

Mikenno: *takes off right as--*

A giant orange set of claws: *comes out of the ground right where Mikenno had been standing just a second earlier, followed by a monstrous roar* SCREAAAAAAAAAAWWWWRRRR!!!

Mikenno: DON'T LET GO!! D8 *keeps flying as high as he can*

Key: *is frozen in place in terror*

THE RACCOON: COME AT US, BRO!

Harry: THEN WE WILL!! D8< *picks up his chainsaw, and (stupidly) runs at THE RACCOON*

THE RACCOON: *DANCES AWAY*

Harry: D8<

THE RACCOON: *FALCON PUNCHES HIM*

Harry: D8 *is shot across the field*

Todd: !!!!!!

Malvagita: FINALLY! A fight! >:D

THEN SUDDENLY

Sonezio Redfield: NOOOOOOOOOONNN!! *COMES IN, JAVELIN-SPEAR READY, ABOUT TO THROW IT THE frack INTO THE RACCOON AND THEN -*

THE RACCOON: *RUNS HIM OVER WITH A SUDDEN HORSE*

THE FISH: *retreats the giant set of claws, then bursts out of the ground, looking very much like a massive goldfish-colored sea serpent, towering over all the battlers* FEAR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Riolu: AIIIEE!! D8 *knows better than to directly attack either of the animals, so he resolves to just trying to stay alive*

Alex: *points his machine gun at the freaking snake thing and unloads on it* D8

THE FISH: *is obviously unaffected* THE HOLY shoot QUOTIOENT FOR THIS RP JUST WENT UP. :D *smashes a giant clawed hand on the ground, causing it to shake violently and crack in certain plaes*

up

Harry: You're disappointed because I can... talk?

Key: ssshjj! *sends an image of herself with a hand over her own mouth, along with the same feeling of dismay* ....

Harry: Ohhh, I get it. Well, on the bright side, you can SORTA talk. Sorta. If you possess people.

Key: *sends him something that feels somewhat like disgust, and somewhat like reluctance. possessing people isn't fun, it feels awkward and uncomfortable, and she feels like an intruder. for the few moments that she had possessed Riolu, she felt him trying to push her out of his mind. she wasn't welcome there* ...

Harry: *kinda understands* ... maybe we can beg them to bring you back. Maybe we can convince them...

Key: *hesitates, but gives off a wave of approval. she hated having to beg, especially to those ANIMALS, but if it was the only way to go back to normal... then so be it.*

Harry: Alright then. You can get out now - we should get back to Todd anyway, leaving him alone as he is now is kinda... not good.

Key: !! *hastily steps out of Harry, somewhat disoriented. getting into someone's head was a lot different than just trying to control their bodies* @_@;

Harry: Are you okay? D:

Key: *puts a hand on the wall nearest to her to support herself, and holds up a finger to indicate to him that he should give her a moment* .... *slowly nods after regaining her sense of direction, and motions down the hallway back to their room* ... :(

Harry: Right. *walks over quickly with Key*

IN THE ROOM

Todd: *jumps when they enter the room* WHY DID YOU LEAVE?? WHY DID YOU TAKE SO LONG TO COME BACK?? WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU??

Harry: Calm down, Todd, Key just needed to vent a little.

Key: *stares at the ground, feeling somewhat guilty* ....

Harry: *notices her looking down* Hey, he's just paranoid is all. It's not your fault. He'd probably say the same thing if we stepped outside for two seconds.

Todd: No I wouldn't've! D8<

Key: *looks up at this and puts a her hands up as if to say "dude, please calm down. please." * ...shshshhshjjjj...

Todd: *gritting his teeth again*

Alarm: *goes off*

Todd: AAAHHH!!

Harry: C'MON, TODD, KEY, LET'S GO.

Todd: DON'T MAKE ME GO OUT THERE!! DON'T GO OUT THERE EITHER!!

Harry: *drags him out of bed*

Todd: *sobbing, begging Harry* GOD NO-O-OH...! DON'T - DON'T MAKE - NOOO...!!

Harry: WE'RE GETTING YOU OUT OF HERE BEFORE THE ALARM DRIVES YOU NUTS - C'MON!! D8<

Key: ..... *possesses Todd, just so she could walk him outside faster*

Todd: !!! *almost seems to FIGHT AGAINST Key, using his sheer willpower, but the battle is hopeless, and he gives in, his mind getting pushed back*

Harry: Oh, good, good, c'mon, Key, let's get him to the teleporter!

Key: *was shocked by the amount of resistance he gave her, and also by how EXTREMELY LOUD the alarms were now. she puts her hands over her ears (now i know why Todd suffers every morning...!) and goes straight for the teleporters, trying to send Todd a reassuring message* ..!!

Harry: *runs with Key*

Todd: *still in the back of his own mind, he very much does NOT want to go to the teleporter, no matter WHAT, and suddenly regains his fight against Key, jerking himself away form the direction of the main hall*

Harry: !!?? frack! Key, we've GOT to get him to the teleporter!

Key: *grimaces, trying to push Todd back into the back of his mind again. she reaches one hand out to Harry, so he can lead her forward while she fights Todd back*

Harry: *grabs Todd's wrist, and forces him and Key to the teleporter*

Todd: *weakly begging* No... no god don't go in there... don't make ME go in there... please, no... *he is quickly tiring from fighting against Key - made worse from having to fight HARRY as well, now. Didn't they get it? They were going to DIE!*

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

Key: *is having second thoughts, but forces Todd to walk into the teleporter*

Todd: *lets out an anguished scream, causing some people to look over at him with confusion*

*IN THE WHITE SPACE*

Harry: Alright Key, you can come out...

Key: .... *walks out of him*

up

Harry: Hey, go ahead. I promise I won't freak out like I did last time.

Key: .... *walks into Harry, ths time, paying attention to Harry's mind rather than the rest of his body* ....

Me: no, she's not gonna be able to send/recieve actual WORDS. Just generalized thoughts/emotions.

Harry: *he doesn't pull away when Key walks into him, but it was an ODD sensation. Harry was still aware of all that was going on, but he became dazed, and felt like he was almost in a dream. He could almost FEEL Key inside his head* hh... hoohh'shoot...

Key: *it felt much different than when she possessed him the first time... she felt more like a visitor rather than an intruder this time. she sort of pokes him mind, trying to call him out his daze somewhat. she has no idea how she's going to communicate with him, but she was going to give it a shot* ....

Harry: *shakes himself awake a bit* Okay, I know you're in... try, now - try talking to me in some way.

Key: .....sssshhjjhh.... *frowns inwardly, emitting a small wave of disappointment in Harry's mind. this no-talking thing was going to be the death of her*

Harry: You're disappointed? Wait - how do I know that?

Key: ! *is pleasantly surprised by this (i can show him emotions?) what if she could send images?* .... *tries to give him an image of a question mark (can you feel this?)*

Harry: Well shoot, Key... you can speak with pictures.

Key: *would have cheered if it wasn't because she couldn't make noise. (FINALLY, some kind of luck.) she sends him another question mark (what do you want to know?)*

Harry: Why are you disappointed, Key?

Key: ... *gives him an image of the FISH, then that damned blue dragon (that thing better be dead), then of herself, dead. that was the first thing she has a problem with.*

Harry: Well, obviously. I also kinda hate that...

Key: *follows this with an image of herself speaking, and adds a feeling of dismay and longing to it*

Key: ...! *has an idea. she goes into Todd and possesses him*

Nightmare: *there is a flash, where Todd's nightmare is suddenly clear to Key for her view - this, being before she fully possesses Todd. Clearly, an image of a grotesque, rotting-corpse-like Todd, surrounded by the dead bodies of his loved ones, while the tall form of the Grim Reaper is about to strike down on Todd's head with his scythe. A flash of white, and the image disappeared. This was when Key had fully possessed Todd*

Key: ?! *snaps awake into a sitting position. she stares wide-eyed at the bed in front of her, then realizes that she's probably woken Todd up just by sitting up so suddenly. she steps out of Todd, and watches him to make sure he's okay* D:> ssssshjjjshshsjjjj....

Todd: *when Key steps out of him, he lets out a terrified scream, which in turn, wakes Harry up*

Harry: !!?? *disorientated* Whuhuh...?? Whah... fffrack... wha'appened...?

Todd: *looks around at both Key and Harry, visibly shaking* ...

Key: D: *sits back down on the edge of the bed, and carefully wraps her arms around him, hugging him close to her. (it's just a dream, Todd, just a dream...) though she was trying her best to comfort him, Key herself was terrified of what she had seen* ...sssshjjjjh....

Todd: *lets out a single sob* EVERYONE'S DEAD...!!

Harry: Wait - huh?? Nuh... Todd, no we're not! D:

Todd: *shakes his head violently* No, no, no - if not, then you'll SOON be dead...! *bites his bottom lip, trying to prevent another scream from coming out on its own* g-gnhh...!

Harry: D8>

Key: *really wished that she could talk right now, that she could tell him he was wrong, that it wasn't going to happen... all she CAN do is hold him as tightly as her form permits in the hopes that he'll calm down* ...shhhh...

Todd: *sobs*

Harry: It was just a dream, Todd - you'll be okay. D:>

Key: shhhhhh.... shhh...... *comforts him as one would comfort a child, resting her head against his* ...shhh......

Me: funny... Chris and i were talking about dreams a little while ago.

Me: Yeah, he's paranoid and shoot about us liking him less, or something. I talked to him about it. I think he's just doing that to himself, and that he shouldn't get worked up over rapid eye movement. He told me he knows you like him as a friend. So if he knows, why worry?

Todd: *in that instance - that chunk of time, that moment in Todd's life - Todd really DID feel like a child. Like a powerless, defenseless child. His breath shook with each inhale, the sobs dying, but the emotions staying, washing over his mind, CONVINCING HIM that no matter what, his friends will be brutally murdered, and no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to save them. His mind cracked more. More pressure. It was only a matter of time wasn't it? Only a matter of time before he snapped completely under the crushing weight of worry and pressure. Invisible monsters. Fears that weren't even necessary to have. Newfound paranoia. It all built up like steam in a teapot. Only a matter of time now, only a matter of time.*

Harry: ... Todd? *doesn't like his silence* ... Todd, maybe you should try going back to sleep... if you can...

Me: that's what i told him.

Key: *shakes her head slightly. she wasn't going to let Todd fall asleep again-- not when sleep brought nightmares, and nightmares brought suffering... his silence worried her immensely, and she once again wished she could talk to him, ask him what was wrong, how to help... she rubbed comforting circles in his back, unable to think of anything else to do* .... shhhhhh...

Me: This really SHOULDN'T be bugging him. :/

Todd: *in a whisper* You're all going to die... j-j-just gonna happen... c-c-can't... s-s-stop... i-i-it...

Harry: Key... he needs to sleep... the drugs are still in his system...

Me: THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HIM. Gawsh. He told me about a nightmare he had (I promised not to retell it) yesterday night. I told him not to worry about it, because it was just a dream. I've had much more terrifying nightmares that that, and I'm completely fine. :/

Key: .... *reluctantly releases Todd, but keeps a hand on his cheek (of all the things they could've taken, why'd they have to take away speech...?) she presses her forehead against his (i love you, TOdd.. i wish i could tell you that right now...)* ssshhhjhhjjsh....

Todd: *he sucks in his breath through his nose, trying to relax himself. That's what they wanted from him right? For him to go back to sleep? But after that nightmare, could he? Apparently he could, because a couple of minutes later he was out like a light, sleeping while sitting up*

Harry: There, see? He should be fine for the rest of the night - that's how dreams work. *lays back down in his bed, disturbed by the night's events. Trying a little TOO hard to convince himself that Todd will be okay... and failing*

Key: .... *does her best to lay him back down, though the task was made somewhat difficult due to the fact that he nearly fell right through her hands. somehow, she manages, and pulls the sheets back up to cover him. she decides not to move from his side, ready to wake him up if need be* ...

*the next morning*

Todd: *drowsily wakes up from his drug-induced sleep. He is surprised to find Harry staring at him*

Harry: ! <_<; *he quickly looks away form Todd*

Todd: ...What?

Harry: ... I'm just a little worried about you, Todd.

Key: *frowns. worried was an understatement for her. she hoped he'd be alright for the fight today (goddammit, why do we keep fighting...??)*

Todd: *his next sentence is almost a whisper* ... please don't go out there today, Harry...

Harry: What? Todd we don't have a choi -

Todd: I don't want to lose anyone else...

Harry: ... If we don't go out there... then...

Todd: *getting hysterical* I don't want to lose anyone else! D8>

Harry: *in a comforting tone - a tone almost ALIEN to Harry Hey... I'll be fine, alright?

Todd: *he's shaking* H-how can I know you're not going to die? HOW CAN I?? *is NEUROTIC*

Harry: You... you can't.

Todd: *is gritting his teeth, anxious, nervous, and completely paranoid about what might happen out there on the white space. Yes. He is neurotic*

Harry: *still in the comforting tone* Todd... you know me, right? I'm a pretty smart guy - I can get out of shoot easy - don't worry about it.

Todd: *still a complete mess, he tries to compose himself, but it works about at well as a child trying to create a castle from mud. Whatever he says comes out as a stuttering mound of gibberish and half-formed sentences* b-b-but I-I-I d-d- you'll d-d-die... you - n-nuh-no you w-won't y-you'll b-b-b-be -

Harry: *gets up off his bed and puts a hand on Todd's shoulder* I'll be fine...

Todd: *with shaking breath, shaking body, he nods his head ever so slightly, looking down. His anxiety attack was coming to an end, but his worry still stayed. The Between World took its toll on him just as it had to Harry*

Key: *has to sit through that conversation, completely unable to add to it. she hates feeling useless (HATES it), and right now, she felt more useless than she's ever had (EVER.) Not only can she not speak, mostly anyone who looks at her apparently sees her as a freakish... something. She's no help at all, none whatsoever. She's starting to feel more and more like a hindrance rather than assistance... this thought just keeps nagging and nagging at her until she just silently stood up and walked out of the room (like there was any other fracking choice), fists clenched so tightly, her fingernails would have drawn blood (had she been alive), slamming the door behind her. of all the things they could have done. of ALL THE THINGS... the goddamned animals can go rot in hell for all she cares, just let this all END...*

Harry: *notices Key leave* Key? Key, wait! D8 *opens the door and runs after her*

Todd: ...

Key: *storms down the hallway, down to the main hall (i'm DONE WITH THIS)*

Anyone in her way: *moves AWAY from angry ghost* O_O;;;;;;

Harry: *catches up to her* Stop! Stop stop stop - why the hell did you LEAVE?? D8>

meanwhile

Todd: ...

Key: *turns to look at him, shoulders tense and fists clenched. her expression seems furious, but she also looks like she's on the verge of tears, eyes watering. she doesn't want to talk right now (ha HA! more like the opposite, but who gives a shoot? oh wait, I DO.)* ssshhHHHJJJSHHHH!!

Harry: ... Right... you can't talk. *he thinks* ... do you think you'd be able to tell me anything if you were in my head? Like, possessing me, or whatever?

meanwhile

Todd: ...

Key: ... *looks down. she has no idea. she could tell how Harry was feeling when she possessed him, but words? she wasn't too sure* .... *looks back up at Harry, and gives him a questioning look (can we try?)*

up
