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.]

[You feel the force withdraw, which is sorta painful considering that it still had quite a bit of it in you.]

[maleborgia]

*sharp gasp*

Ah--

[sharpasafawkes]

[The force pulls away, the room growing darker]

[maleborgia]

*sitting up better?* Shaun?

[sharpasafawkes]

[The force dies away, and so snuffs out one of the sun]

[maleborgia]

*quickly getting up and going to the wall, trying to get a better look out*

[sharpasafawkes]

[It feels cold and empty, almost like you're alone.]

[maleborgia]

*Almost, you say...

All right, going back to look at the cold sun after a long moment of staring out into the distance.*

[sharpasafawkes]

[There's a chill in your bones as you get closer.]

[maleborgia]

*already used to the creepy*

[sharpasafawkes]

[No, I mean litteraly the flesh around your bones is starting to freeze.]

[maleborgia]

*well, that hurts, thanks asshole.

holding his arms tightly against his chest*

Shaun.

[You start to hear the voice in your head again, though the statistics are different now, chances of survival, chances your plan of world-swapping working out, the chances of him ever actually seeing you again after camp, the chances of him having a normal life or even having you as a student again, or even anything with Desmond when he sees him again...

They're all pretty dismal odds.]

[maleborgia]

And that makes giving up altogether the better option?

[sharpasafawkes]

[it keeps going on, dispite what you say]

[maleborgia]

Just because something is seemingly impossible does not mean it should be abandoned. What would man have ever accomplished if we always played the odds? You cannot see all ends.

[sharpasafawkes]

[The room becomes colder as the voice drones on, the colors bleeding out again.]

[maleborgia]

That's it, then? You are going to mire yourself here and destroy all hope. *is it possible to go higher in the tower?*

[sharpasafawkes]

[Your joints feel stiff, sore, unresponding. Thairs stairs you can go up, but you'd first have to make it there.]

[maleborgia]

And now are you going to stop me as well? You control this world, Shaun. I cannot do anything without your permission.

[sharpasafawkes]

[It's waiting, give it a reason tolet you go, the odds of you helping are rather low.]

[maleborgia]

Yes, the odds are poor. Yes, you may fail! No man ever wins everything he attempts, but I have faith in your ability to gain some ground back. Take some of the heat from that other star and warm yourself with it, you have the passion and you have the ability to reason. Join them together and the day may yet be yours.

[sharpasafawkes]

[It drains away further. No, it's tired and just plain done with the whole thing.]

[maleborgia]

I am going to try, regardless of whether or not I have your blessing. It would be much easier, however, if you assisted me.

[sharpasafawkes]

[Whatever, your efforts are going to be hopeless, in fact, some of the statistics start to change. The number of worlds known where you didn't die in misery and humiliation, the chances that someone like you will overcome your limitations and society's bias against you, the number of people who will betray you, or who you'll most likely drive away...]
