CRAZY EVENT DAY 3 SHENANIGINS

[sharpasafawkes]

[It's getting late, you're probably out (but hey, some of you could be safe and warm at home), and aside from the crazy people out, it's pretty much business as normal.

Which means it can be pretty easy to miss the sound of someone else around, or the footsteps that trail off and then come again]

[Oh good YOU KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT.

Then after that he's out the door and going huntin']

[scanninggaydis]

[Not even struggling this time! He's...pretty much checked out.]

[sharpasafawkes]

[He comes back later, coveted in... oh just don't ask really, and with a syringe in hand]

Well that's all done. So, just for fun, how would you go about imortality?

[scanninggaydis]

[FLINCHING a little when he comes back in, and then getting a good look at him and....mentally screaming a little. He tries to draw himself up a little smaller.]

[sharpasafawkes]

You're really ruining the whole thing, mate. I just wanted a bit of levity before you lose your mind. -and more than what you're at now, apparently. I'd say literally, but that's the only bit that tends to stay intact.

[scanninggaydis]

What...what are you doing? Shaun...what is that, what have you done?.

1/2

[sharpasafawkes]

Look around you, just what was this lot of scientists looking to do? Keep life alive at whatever cost and they did it, we deal with them shambling about every day.

I never really thought about it as an option because... well just look at them! But all that being about as sharp as a bog is exactly what's called for here. Even if you get out after it's kicked in, you won't have much of a mind left, and just spend your days milling about these labs.

[sharpasafawkes]

...told you I could find a way to get around death.

[scanninggaydis]

....Oh gods. No. Shaun, no you can't do that.

....Please. Please don't.

[sharpasafawkes]

Then give me another answer, because this one's looking pretty good.

[scanninggaydis]

I.....I don't know, I don't, but that's not immorality, you have to see that. It's just.....death, in stasis.

I-I'd rather you - we! - looked for the other option. Permanent death.

[sharpasafawkes]

The important bit though is that you'd never give me any sort of trouble again, especially if I just shoved you off into a pit after you were infected...

The more I think about it, the more anything else seems like more trouble, and for what, your benefit?

[scanninggaydis]

...Yes. I can't...please, not that. Anything else, but not that.

[sharpasafawkes]

Right so, answer me one little question, and I'll think about it.


...why would I give any sort of comfort to something I hate?

[scanninggaydis]

Because...

[well he doesn't actually have an answer]

Shaun, this isn't you, don't do this. Please. I'm....I'm begging you, please. Just...don't.

[sharpasafawkes]

Tell me, if you could kill the part of you that you hated, wouldn't you?

[scanninggaydis]

[...Oh.]

I...maybe....I don't...know.

Not this way, though. Please. Please don't.

[He's kind of been on the verge of tears since he started pleading with him, but now he's actually crying. This is so hopeless, just like the last time, but he CAN'T let him turn him into that, he HAS to keep begging him not to.]

[sharpasafawkes]

[this actually sounds genuine, and the fire cools into a softer tone as he starts towards him]

This is my only chance to get this out of me... I'm sorry.

[scanninggaydis]

Shaun, don't, please, you don't have to do this, it won't do what you want it to do, PLEASE.

[loud and panicky voice!]

[foundjuanting]

[THAT SOUNDS LIKE A FELIX, wait what Shaun? OH IS IT TIME TO CRACK A PIECE OF REBAR OVER THE GUYS' HEAD? DONE.]

Felix! are you-


...oh god.

[scanninggaydis]

[........oh gods oh gods is the Borgia also insane please don't let the Borgia also be insane even if he did just save him.

That is to say, still panicky as fuck and trying to make himself small again.]

[foundjuanting]

[Cutting the ropes, more than a little panic in his voice]

Can you hear me clearly? What has been harmed and how badly?

[scanninggaydis]

[Okay okay no it's...he can do this...

Shooting a fearful glance at Shaun's downed form, and then back at Juan and...

There's a shaky little sob, but he does answer him.]

My...my leg and...arms. He. He wanted to make sure I didn't get away, he...they're broken.

[maleborgia]

[sitting on the floor waiting for Shaun to revive (thanks for the head's up, Juan), unarmed but with a bottle of water. he begins to talk once he sees Shaun start to breathe.]

Juan took Felix out of here already. He told me where he found the two of you and that he left you here. I hope you don't mind my waiting here for you to wake up. I didn't want you to leave before I could speak with you.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Welp then that's sure some fresh blood and mayhem on that exact spot he sees.]

Oh god, tell me this is all an awful dream...
