TheGameArtCriticTodd: *in return, Todd gives his own apologetic look, silently telling her that he is sorry for not getting to her before the damage was done. He goes to the kitchen area and fills a bag with ice, then wraps the bag in two paper towels. He goes back to Key and gently presses the ice bag against her face* Can you hold this here for about fifteen minutes? Then you can move it to the other side of your face for another fifteen minutes... I'm sorry this happened... <:(

Harry: *he stares at them, at Key, feeling absolutely horrible*

mechadragon13Key: *nods, holding the bag against her face* s'kay... it's not your fault... *catches Harry's dismayed expression* s'not your fault either...

TheGameArtCriticHarry: *quietly, not once looking away from Key* ... Yes it is...

Todd: *It's then that he realizes something, something that he should have realized a long time ago. WELL! Isn't HE an idiot then?* ... Harry... It wasn't a pole... was it?

Harry: What?

Todd: ... It wasn't a pole... it was Kevin and Gabe...

Harry: *was hoping he would never find out* ... ... I didn't want to upset you, Todd...

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 5:11:43 AM

mechadragon13Key: *watches them silently, trying to sit up again* ...

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 5:20:21 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: I'm more upset finding out on my own! D8>

Harry: *he's even quieter now* ...M'sorry...

Todd: ... I'm... I'm not gonna be talking to them again, okay, Harry? If they come anywhere near you OR Key again, I swear to god, they're gonna see me in their nightmares...

mechadragon13Key: *admires his loyalty to his friends, surprised that he'd choose her over the other guys--and he barely knew her! then again, those guys were clearly assholes. she smiles a little bit. she wished she had friends like these in highschool... would have made life a bit more bearable*

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 5:33:15 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: Key, you can stay here for the night - I'm not gonna make you go out again after getting attacked like that... We've got extra sheets and pillows and everything, so... yeah. <:(

Harry: ... *he finally looks down, away from Key, still feeling ashamed*

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 5:35:03 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *nods* ...thank you... *looks over at Harry, wishing he would stop feeling so guilty* ...

TheGameArtCriticHarry: .. M'gonna go to my room, now... *he shuffles off*

Todd: <:( ...

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 5:42:13 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *waits until Harry closes the door into his room before she speaks* ...He shouldn't feel so bad... it really isn't his fault...

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 5:48:48 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... I know... but, uh... he sometimes puts the fault of things on himself... or perhaps he really does this ALL the time... probably has something to do with his upbringing...

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 5:49:44 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: ...I'm guessing he doesn't like to talk about it...

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 5:56:20 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... He really REALLY doesn't... I've said too much... Christ, I promised him I wouldn't... maybe he can tell you the whole story himself some day... maybe...

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 5:58:44 AM

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 6:08:53 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: <:( ... *would say she knew the feeling, but, she never really had friends to worry about. No one besides Alex, and maybe her brother* ...maybe you could try talking to him...

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 6:17:17 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... I don't mean just him, Key... I mean, I was actually terrified when I saw what Kevin and Gabe were doing to you...

TheGameArtCriticBobby, Football Player, and Guy: *they too speed up, all determined to catch up to her*

mechadragon13 on November 18, 2011, 1:57:58 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *panic sets in when she hears their footsteps speed up, and she immediately breaks into a sprint, glancing around at the sides of buildings, trying to find an appropriate surface to climb up, and mentally cursing when she sees none. she may be fast, but she was small--she knew she would tire out and be caught eventually*

TheGameArtCritic on November 18, 2011, 2:18:41 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticThree Guys: *chase Key* D8< !!

Bobby: *it doesn't take very long for him to give up, being overweight and all, so instead he watches the other guys give chase form a distance* ...

mechadragon13 on November 18, 2011, 2:24:12 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *continues to flee--she can already feel herself getting more and more tired. she was definitely not a sprinter. she finally spots a brick building with a few ledges she can climb up, and runs for it, scaling the wall as quickly as she can to try to get out of their reach* D8>

TheGameArtCritic on November 18, 2011, 2:28:07 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticFootball Player: *he quickly grabs onto Key and pulls her down, holding her against the wall* GOTCHA!

Guy: You should know better before standing up for Gatzsky! D8<

Football Player: *punches Key*

mechadragon13 on November 18, 2011, 2:32:02 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: !!! *briefly wonders exactly HOW MUCH they disliked Harry before the athlete's punch practically knocks the thought right out of her mind, replacing it with HOLY shoot THAT REALLY frackING HURT. she tries to free herself, to shield her face, but the guy was easily more than twice her size--she stood no chance*

TheGameArtCritic on November 18, 2011, 2:45:46 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticFootball Player: *he smacks Key around a bit, his toothy grin shimmering under the moonlight. Then he kicks her and hands her to the other guy*

Guy: *pushes her to the ground and is ready to attack again, when -*

Todd: *jumps down in from of the guy with a loud THUMP and attacks him, punching him repeatedly* What! The! frack!!

Guy: A-AHH! D8 T-TODD!

Football Player: Stop! Stop it! D8

Todd: *throws the guy into the football player, then stomps on the two of them, following up with punching the football player in the face until Todd' knuckles bleed and the football player is unconscious. He glares at the guy* frack you. I can't be friends with scum like you - and to think you two were decent people... get out of my face. >:(

Guy: D8> *takes the football player and drags him back*

Todd: *turns to Key, his facial features darkened by his hood* You okay?

mechadragon13 on November 18, 2011, 3:12:08 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *tries to pick herself up off the ground, only managing to get up on her hands and knees. she was much too dizzy to stand up all the way. everything hurt, and it felt like maybe something was broken... she wasn't quite sure. wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, she isn't surprised to find blood--they had hit her pretty hard. looking up at Todd, she almost doesn't recognize him, as the lighting obscured almost all of his face, but she's so incredibly glad he showed up...*

TheGameArtCritic on November 18, 2011, 3:40:27 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... Key... Key, lemme see your face, alright? I need to see how bad you are... D:>

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 4:11:55 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *scoots away from him, unwilling to pull her hood back. especially not here. she just wasn't quite ready to do so* ...

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 4:17:08 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: C'mon, Key... how about you come with me back to the apartment - I can help clean you up, okay? D:>

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 4:22:17 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: ... *nods, and tries to stand up again, using the wall to support herself. she was still in shock, and moving made everything hurt a LOT* ...help...?

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 4:26:20 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: Hold on - *he then picks Key up, and from there, he heads back to the apartment, feeling awful for what happened*

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 4:29:44 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *was a bit startled when he decided to pick her up, but she really didn't care--it was better than having to walk... for her, anyway. it would've been agonizing. she rests her head against his shoulder, and closes her eyes, wishing everything would just go numb already*

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 4:35:19 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: *he takes no notice to this as he carries her back to the apartment, managing to knock on the door, holding Key with one hand for a few seconds, then going back to holding her with two hands*

Harry: *he opens the door and is shocked at what he sees* K-Key...! D8

Todd: ... It was Kevin and Gabe... KEVIN AND GABE of all people...

Harry: D8> ...!

Todd: *he walks in and carefully puts Key down on the couch*

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 4:37:55 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *tries to sit up, but immediately regrets it, hissing at a sharp pain in her ribs--she REALLY hoped nothing was broken*

TheGameArtCritic on November 19, 2011, 4:43:08 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: Key - Key, stop, stop, hang on... don't move. Don't move yet. We don't know how badly you're hurt... *he moves closer to her and takes off her hood, looking over her face - strange how this seems to be the first time he's actually looking at it*

Harry: *he's absolutely horrified - this all happened because of HIM - because Key STOOD UP for him...! If only she hadn't - if only he didn't EXIST!*

mechadragon13 on November 19, 2011, 4:47:54 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *already has a black eye, and more bruises are darkening around her face. she was bleeding out of her mouth a bit from being punched in the teeth, but that seemed to be the worst of it. at least, around her face. she looks up at Todd almost apologetically, as if she felt like she was being a nuisance*

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 11:30:58 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: *he goes through class as usual, but... he's incredibly bothered by Harry's injuries, and as convincing as Harry seemed to be... it couldn't have been a pole. He doesn't know what to do with Harry, really. He hates when he keeps secrets from him - can't Harry just TRUST HIM, or not be afraid he's get angry, or WHATEVER his deal was? Maybe it has to do with his father... his sketchy, vaguely-referred-to-on-rare-occasions father... perhaps it was something Harry simply had to do. Lie, because it has been hardwired into his brain* ...

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 11:37:15 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *wonders about this the entire class, and resolves to ask him about this later--after the class ends, she heads back to the cafeteria, hoping the others will be there*

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 11:50:33 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: *he looks for Harry, but Harry is nowhere to be found* <:/ ...?

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 11:57:25 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *spots Todd* ! Hey! *runs over to him* Hi.... *glances around* ...where's Harry?

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 12:31:17 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... I don't know... <:( ... *jokingly* Maybe he got eaten...? Eheh... heh...

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 12:32:06 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *doesn't find this amusing in the slightest--she was worried* ...Mmmmaybe he went back to your apartment?

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 12:45:18 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... M-maybe... I mean, he doesn't just wander off... not without me... NEVER without me, actually, save for yesterday and a few times before...

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 12:58:45 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: ...Do you wanna go look for him? I have time...

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 1:01:03 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: Sure, we can go look... though I really do think he's just in the apartment... <:/

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 1:05:50 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: Well, better safe than sorry... <:/

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 1:26:06 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... Right...

*and so they go, reaching the apartment*

Todd: Harry? You in here? :/

Harry: *from his room* Yeah?

Todd: You weren't there for dinner... what happened? <:(

Harry: I... I'm feeling kinda sick, Todd... that's all...

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 1:51:45 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *assumes he's lying* ...Sorry to hear that...

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 2:24:34 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: ... I just... need to be alone is all...

Todd: Alright, Harry... Key, do you want to, ah, stay? <:(

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 2:25:32 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: I WOULD, but... I really need to work... <:/

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 10:27:19 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: Alright... see you later, then. <:/

Harry: *stays in his room* ...

mechadragon13 on November 18, 2011, 4:19:53 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: Bye. <:/ *goes downstairs, and starts heading back to her dorm, still a bit worried about Harry...*

TheGameArtCritic on November 18, 2011, 8:13:27 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: Hey Harry? I'm gonna go run for a bit, okay? <:/

Harry: M'kay...

Todd: Feel better... <:( *he then leaves*

meanwhile

Bobby, Football Player, and Guy: *follow Key, now seeing that she's alone*

mechadragon13 on November 18, 2011, 1:47:25 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *that feeling of being followed returns, and she glances over her shoulder, secretly hoping it was just her imagination. to her surprise, it wasn't--and seeing how it was those same three guys from earlier didn't help quell her fears. she walks a bit faster, hoping that they weren't REALLY following her*

TheGameArtCritic on November 16, 2011, 2:18:44 PM

Harry: Slow down next time - you could choke.

Harry: Right, then... see you later, Key.

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 10:32:23 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: Yeah. ^^ *gets up with her tray, actually rather happy she could actually say "see you later" to someone. she throws her unwanted food out, and heads off to class*

TheGameArtCritic on November 17, 2011, 10:50:07 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd and Harry: *head off to their classes*

Harry: *feels uncomfortable that Key knows about what has been happening between him and Todd's friends*

mechadragon13 on November 17, 2011, 11:20:41 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *sits in class, finding it just as boring as the other one. her mind wanders back to her friends... she wants to talk to Harry a bit more about what happened, but she's rather hesitant about it--she doesn't want him getting mad at her for it* ...

Harry: I'm sorry, I was just... I was running, something from yesterday kinda upset me, and I wasn't looking where I was going... it's nothing to worry about... *he's obviously had experience lying to Todd - only someone who's been doing so for a long time could seem so convincing*

Todd: Alright... what was it that got you so upset? Like, what was this thing you mentioned? <:(

Harry: ... Y'know, Todd, now that I think about it, it doesn't seem so upsetting... really, I'm fine...

mechadragon13 on November 16, 2011, 11:33:42 AM

mechadragon13 on

TheGameArtCritic on November 16, 2011, 11:49:53 AM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: ... Yeah, uh... yeah, see you later... *he then walks off to his class... he doesn't entirely believe Harry... not that he doesn't trust him... but Harry, as he grew up to know, is an extremely good liar*

mechadragon13 on November 16, 2011, 11:52:31 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: *goes to class, wondering why Harry felt the need to hide this from Todd--she didn't understand it at ALL. He was his best friend, wasn't he? what did he have to fear? she sits in class and wonders about this, not really paying attention*

TheGameArtCritic on November 16, 2011, 11:56:49 AM

TheGameArtCriticTodd: I... I don't know... Maybe I should go talk to him... <:(

meanwhile

Harry: *breaks into a run when he gets outside, running until he reaches the field beside the track behind the college. He's out of breath, tears streaming down his face, frustrated with his situation, frustrated with HIMSELF, with TODD for being so oblivious, for SAM for being such a dog... why? Why must he like her...?*

mechadragon13 on November 15, 2011, 12:08:26 PM

mechadragon13Key: ...Maybe you should...

Sam: Oh, he's just being all moody again... he'll be fine.

TheGameArtCritic on November 15, 2011, 12:51:33 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticTodd: No, this was different... when he's moody, he talks to me, he doesn't just get up and leave like that... <:( *stands up, ready to go after Harry*

meanwhile

Harry: *waits around outside, looking at the sky and wiping his tears away from his face. It'll get better, right? Just one more year. They'll be out of college and he won't have to deal with this ever again*

Bobby: *is a short, fat young adult, 22, and a crooked grin on his face. Harry was alone, without Todd. Why is that, he wonders? No matter, the big ol' dog is now his to screw around with, which is always great fun for everyone* HEY GATZSKY!

Harry: ...

Other Guys: *join in. One is nearly as tall as Harry, and much more fit, being on the football team. They approach with Bobby*

Harry: ... Not in the mood for this...

Football Guy: Hey, shut up! >:/ *smacks Harry upside the head*

Harry: !! ... *he rubs where he's hit* ...

Bobby: You can ALWAYS be in the mood for US, Gatzsky - we're Todd's friends, so we're YOUR friends, right?

Harry: ... Vicious animals closing in... they never learn that a porcupine has quills...

Guy 1: Can you believe this shoot he's spouting? fracking POETRY!

Football Player: You a fracking poet Gatzsky? You a fracking gay-@$$ poet? *this time he punches Harry*

Harry: !!! *falls down*

Football Player: frack you, fag.

Harry: *hissing through his teeth* ... Not in the fracking MOOD...

Bobby: Haha! What the frack! This guy's attitude, y'know?

Football Player: FAG! *kicks Harry*

Harry: *grunts when he's hit, but then quickly gets to his feet, his cheek bruised and bleeding, the wind knocked out of him from the kick, leaving him gasping for breath*

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Sam: I'm sure he's fine, Todd, this isn't the first time this... hey, where did Key go? o__o

meanwhile

Key: *had decided to get up and go after Harry while Todd was talking--she knew something was up and she wanted to make sure he was okay. being a bit of an athlete herself, she manages to run and find him rather quickly--and she's shocked by what she sees. it's just too familiar. TOO familiar. she never had anyone stand up for her--and no one was standing up for Harry now. she swallows her fear, and approaches them, her voice quiet, shy at first, but she gets louder, more confident* hey... hey! S-Stop hurting him! D:<

TheGameArtCritic on November 15, 2011, 1:17:29 PM

TheGameArtCriticHarry: *sees her and panics on the inside - no - NO, she can't be here, she'll get HURT!*

Bobby: Christ! Who the hell is - ??

*they leave*

Harry: D8 ...

mechadragon13Key: *stands there for a moment, shocked--that's all it took? is that all it takes to get someone to stop hurting someone else? ...why did no one ever do that for her until Alex came along...? she shakes off the thought, and runs over to Harry, looking him over, making sure he wasn't TOO hurt* H-Hey, are you okay? D:>

TheGameArtCritic on November 15, 2011, 1:28:58 PM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Key: .... *nods. she is somewhat astounded by how SIMILAR this was to how things were for her before... though... she was lucky enough to only get the harsh words... usually, at least... and she never told anyone. anyone except Alex, but...Well, they were different than Harry is with Todd, obviously...* ...will you ever tell him?

TheGameArtCritic on November 15, 2011, 3:02:16 PM

mechadragon13Key: *looks at him for a moment, then looks back down. she wondered if it had ALWAYS been like this, like it had been for her... she really hoped not. no one deserved that kind of treatment* ...

TheGameArtCritic on November 15, 2011, 3:11:01 PM

TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticHarry: *he doesn't dare look at Key. There's shame in his eyes, though for him, this isn't so bad. This was actually a rather easy beating compared to... back home. Back with his drunk of a father (if Harry can call him that) who shouted at him, through things, even sharp objects, throwing fists, threatening to kill Harry* ...

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13Sam: *walks out with a plate of french toast* ^^

Key: *looks over at the two of them, then over at Harry. She was surprised Todd hadn't noticed it at all, it was so obvious. she takes a pancake or two, not really hungry, and waits for Harry* ..
