beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 On 3/8/2019 at 9:07 PM, I think I am here. said: Csilen opened his eyes, and looked to the bread creature. It was nuzzling his cheek. He put a hand out and stroked it. “I’ve gone ahead and destroyed an entire unit of Elendel’s constabulary like the failure I am,” he whispered to it. “I’ve killed my leading officer, it probably won’t be long before they figure out I did it, and if they don’t, I’ll still be put down for threatening civilian lives, murder, blackmail, and a host of other things.” Connection didn’t just make him more happy, it made him more emotional. As he tapped, his eyes tested a bit. “And I still didn’t catch those fugitives. I’ve failed.” He looked to the breadmunk he stroked, its big eyes. And he took out his pistol, but he didn’t point it at the creature, he pointed it at his own head. “I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do now. Just hope it all goes away, I suppose.” AJ felt his sorrow through the connection that still remained in him. No! He thought at him. He looked up at the two locked in conversation. “I... have to go for a minute.”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 "Stay," Thought said firmly, not even looking at him.
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 “No, I won’t let him die! He is... he is too friend. He may have tried to kill us, but I won’t let him die!”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Thought reached for his mind, before cursing herself. "AJ, stay here," she growled.
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 AJ stood up. “I will be back in less than an hour.”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Thought glared, standing up and grabbing his arm. "You will stay. Right. Here."
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 AJ regarded her for a moment before pulling away. “You don’t seem to need me here anyway. I will be fine.”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Something was not right. "I need you here, you have no obligation below." She gripped his shoulders, turning him to face her and staring into his eyes. "Look at me. Forget whatever is bothering you and sit.
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 AJ paused a bit, and then looked at her. But then, he felt the gun point where it shouldn’t. He shook his head and took off in a sprint toward the door.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Thought sprinted after, grabbing him around the waist, hauling him back, trying to get him to the ground. "What is wrong with you?"
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 AJ stopped and turned and took her face in his hands. He looked her straight in the eye with a dead stare. “Our friend, Csilen is going to kill himself right now. But he is confused. I need to go to him. I need to. Please let me go. I would never leave you, but I won’t let him die.” He smiled, “Please.”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 "He's done something to you. Can't you feel it? Stop for a moment. Wait. For me."
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 “I am connected with him. I feel what he feels and I can see his pure heart. His guilt in failing to catch me. He has done something to me. You will never be able to see what I do. Let me save him!”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 "Oh, trust me. I've felt deaths before. Felt guilt like that. This is not something you can help. Not a fight you can win."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 "What can you do? If I had my Shard, I could find a way to fix this. What can you, with your bluntness, do at all? You're powerless against this. And despite what you think, you would not be a monster to let it happen. Not many have the strength to go through with it anyway."
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 “He feels this way because we are gone. I will return and simply stop him from shooting himself.”
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 "Snap out of it, don't you understand what he wants? He wants us dead or captured. You would never turn yourself in, AJ. This is not your fight."
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 “I would never turn myself in. That is correct. But look, I have an equal connection to him as I do to you. You must let me go to him and save him. Don’t you see! It will kill me to see him die!” He cried tearing up.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 "That connection is fake. It will fade. I will not. Show me you have the strength to stay."
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) AJ paused and sat down. “Why won’t you let me anyway? I need the know.” Edited March 10, 2019 by beantheboy12
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 "If you leave, no one can protect you and I don't know if you will come back. Nothing good will come of you leaving. It's not real."
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 AJ began to sob as a horrible pain hit his head and felt cold liquid flow down his head. Then, it faded. He fingered the spot where the pain started and continued to cry. 1
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Quote But we don't know if Csilen actually pulls the trigger or not.
beantheboy12 he/him Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Quote Okay AJ laid down, still crying. “I- I can save him. Why...” NO! He thought. But he was connected. He would have to just wait and see. Maybe, he would feel this, and stop. @I think I am here.
