Cesare how many mindruns can you DO

[sharpasafawkes]

[WE DOIN' THIS, AGAIN. or rather you're at the college again, however this time there's more to it, there's a city off far in the distance, and the entire area seems... off, the colors leeched slightly out of the world.]

[And the door is opened, Shaun is dragged through, and shut again. You can hear a lock click in place.]

[maleborgia]

*tries the handle, then pounding on the door* Shaun!

Cesare, let him go!

[sharpasafawkes]

[No.

The screams start up again, and you know them well, in addition the door's searing hot to the touch. The only way forward, is through the other door into another hall.]

[maleborgia]

*throws himself at it a couple of times, r=then running for the other door. maybe it will connect?*

[sharpasafawkes]

[You open the door wide and- it leads into a completely different hall. The place is fully lit with the same white light, and fifteen figures have been painted on the wall, them bound, and their hearts pierced. At first they all appear similar, but little details come out the more you look at them. the blood over their wounds grow larger, they look more desperate and exhausted as the hall goes on. Underneath the sounds of the air conditioner you can hear the sound of faint crying, and whimpers.]

[maleborgia]

*frustrated noise* This isn't right. *slamming the door against the wall, throwing it open and running back to the other door*

[sharpasafawkes]

[You can't get in, there's some things you just simply can't undo. The door begins to sear your hands.]

[maleborgia]

Let me in! *throwing himself at it again*

[sharpasafawkes]

[It doesn't budge. Keep at it as long as you want, that door isn't opening any time soon.]

[maleborgia]

*steps back, glaring at it, then takes another step away.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[it doesn't open for a good long while, but then the lights start to go low, to turn to that flame light again, there's a different type of shouting in the hall now.]

[maleborgia]

*...oh that worked?

uncertainly walking forward*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Not really, you just waited enough for the cycle starts again, and it does, like nothing else. The door slams open too fast, and barely misses your face, but then a force slams into you, and there's something weighing down on your chest, and more importantly, a blade being stabbed into it repeatedly. you can feel the tip of it graze your side, which means it must have gone through the other Cesare entirely.

Shaun is yelling, and it's the same words as before.]

[maleborgia]

*what the christ

trying to grapple with the invisible Shaun*

Shaun! Please@

[sharpasafawkes]

[Hope you don't mind being stabbed then.]

[maleborgia]

*yelling :( *

[sharpasafawkes]

[BASTARD!

-is pretty much a good summation of what Shaun's saying to you in between stabs. He never should have trusted you, he knew you'd turn on him, you weren't even worth his time...]

[maleborgia]

*not fighting back as much as trying to defend himself from it, it's a dream it's a dream it's a dream...*

Sh... Shaun! I'm not trying to hurt you!

[sharpasafawkes]

[He digs the blade in, and twists.

"Like hell you are."]

[maleborgia]

*it's impossible to tell what word this noise was intended to be*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Annnd bringing the blade down one more time before that weight shifts off of you again, coughing, soon turning to gasps and wet sounds as something's torn out.]

[maleborgia]

*rolling over to hold himself up shakily on his forearms, gasping, trying to turn to see what's going on*

St-stop that.

[sharpasafawkes]

[you can see the pool of blood widening again, the room going to white, the noise Shaun's body makes when it hits the floor, and then it's started to be dragged away again.]

[maleborgia]

*scrambles up, chasing after the noise, trying to cut it off at the door*

[sharpasafawkes]

[It stops, and you can hear the other Cesare turn.

"Don't. This isn't how it goes. Just move on."]
