Jacob the Hedgehog

Twilight: *goes back into her room* .......... *repeats previous action of bumping her head against the door*

Eclipse: *lays on his bed* ...

A. Sonic: *to Acid* <back to square one... *SIIIIIIGH*>

Acid: wellll... not really. now we know for SURE what's wrong.

A. Sonic: <how are we gonna get him out of this circle of depression, though?>

Acid: .........good question.....

A. Sonic: <I hope he doesn't start cutting himself...>

Acid: oh jeez. i think i'm gonna sneak in his room later and take all the sharp stuff ._.

Me: did you ever read that fanfic i left you? one of the characters cut themself with a PAINTBRUSH. then started PAINTING ON THE WALL WITH THEIR BLOOD.

Me: yes.

A. Sonic: <yeah, you do that, or I will.>

Me: did you like it? i thought it was creepy but i enjoyed it very much. chapter 8 was scary ._.

Acid: *nods* i'll do it tonight.

A. Sonic: <good.>

Me: yes. No, chapter 8 was NOT scary, you WIMP. XP

Me: yes, i am a wimp. i thought it was an AWESOME twist that it turned out that roxas was the one that was insane.... i was just like, "WHAT?!" did you expect that?

Acid: ...... i think we should leave both of them alone for a while...

A. Sonic: <yeah... I guess... > *turns visable, since they're actually OUTSIDE of Eclipse's closed bedroom door*

Me: um... actually, yeah. ._. The title DID say "We're ALL Mad Here"

Me: i was thinking of that line from american mcgee's alice.... but did you think he'd be THAT kind of crazy?

Acid: sooo...

Me: no. XD

A. Sonic: so nowwww... we wait. Until we can actually sneak into his room and take every knife, razorblade, pencil, and scrap of paper we can find.

Acid: ookay then.

Me: but wow, that's SOME kind of crazy. thinking your DEAD siblings are talking to you when they've ben dead for years? thats AWESOME. XD but chapter 8 was stiiill creepy.

A. Sonic: and any guns o_o

Me: how can you play Fatal Frame, and say that THAT was creepy?

Acid: eclipse has guns?! D8

Me: well, its because... i dunno! fatal frame doesn't scare me for some reason.... i think its because if i visualize things in my head, they come out scarier than they should. just goes to show how whacked up in the head i am XD you know when i try to draw scary stuff it isn't really scary all that much? when i visualize it, i terrify myself, thus, i refuse to draw it... i know, it's weird....

Me: I'm the opposite. XDDD

A. Sonic: *shrugs* he might have one or two leftover from the war.

Acid: i thought we had to return all of those....

Me: what, it comes out scarier when you draw it? my problem w/ ch8 was that as they described it, i imagined it. i have a pretty vivid imagination when it comes to reading books and fics, so when i visualized it, it was as if iwas roxas, walking into that room and seeing that bloody mess. i really connect with characters in these kinds of things; this also explains my emotional reactions to the end of 358/2. XP

A. Sonic: well, Eclipse is a paranoid guy...

Me: lawl, you have emotions.

Acid: true....

Me: lawl, i'm not a nobody. XD i still like Lleximech tho >.>

A. Sonic: ... ... well, I'm gonna go back to Heaven, now. I'm sure Amy's missing me. *gone*

Me: blarghlfargl.

Twilight: *answers the door, and is surprised to see him there* e-eclipse!

Eclipse: *his legs are shaking. His voice is quiet* ... hi Twilight...

Twilight: what's... up? *wants to slap herself for asking such a stupid question*

Eclipse: s-s-sorry f-for avoiding you, and e-everyone else...

Twilight: ...you don't have to be sorry. it's me who has to apologize. i shouldn't have put you in a situation like that, it was my fault.

Eclipse: ... *sighs* ... no it's not...

Twilight: eclipse, i take just as much of the blame as you, if not more. if i hadn't run after you...

Eclipse: ...it's no one's fault... it was... just an odd situation... has Lightning forgivin me...?

Twilight: i don't know.... i wouldn't go near him just yet if i were you....

Eclipse: ... I won't... ... it's gonna take a LONG time with him... ... ... *he is quiet... thoughtful* ...

Twilight: yeah.....

Eclipse: ... I miss Arty and Mist... they were good kids...

Twilight: yeah.... they were... *doesn't want to bring up the fact that she has skye and strike back*

Eclipse: I mean... you didn't really... feel the way I did about them... you were missing Skye and Strike... but me... ... Luminos died... I had that opportunity to have children again... I started actually feeling like they were my kids... that I was a father again... and now... after bonding with them... after all that time was spent with them... after ALL THAT... I... *his voice gets quiet* ... I feel like they're dead... *trying to hold in tears, his breath getting shaky. He is now looking down at his shoes* ... *finally, he just can't take it anymore. He falls to his knees, and pounds the ground with his fist* GODDAMNIT!! DAMN THIS WORLD!! DAMN THIS UNIVERSE!! THIS PILE OF shoot ON A ROCK!! *now sobbing uncontrollably, hysterical* GAAWWD!!

Twilight: D:>!!!! *gets down on her knees in front of him, and puts her hands on his shoulders* c-calm down eclipse!!

Eclipse: *curled up on the floor, arms around his head, shivering. He is trying REALLY hard not to start yelling at Twilight. That would be wrong. He can't blame her for any of this*

Twilight: eclipse, it's MY FAULT. I was the one that wanted to come back, i was the one that missed my old life!! you were happy there and i shouldn't have torn you away from the life you never got to have.....

Eclipse: *quickly gets up and moves away from her... like he's afraid that if she gets too close, he'll smack her, or something* SHUT UP!! I HAVE TRIED MY HARDEST TO KEEP THAT FACT OUT OF MY MIND!! I HAVE CONVINCED MYSELF OVER AND OVER THAT IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!! DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO THROW THE BLAME ON YOURSELF NOW!! DON'T YOU DARE!!

Twilight: *stands up* i WILL dare, because it's the TRUTH!

Eclipse: NO!! IT'S NOT!! FOR ALL I CARE, IT'S NOT!! I DON'T WANT TO BLAME YOU FOR ANYTHING!!

Twilight: WELL, FOR ALL I CARE IT WAS ME, AND I DON'T WANT YOU DENYING IT!!

Eclipse: I WILL DENY IT!! I DON'T WANT TO BE ANGRY WITH YOU!!

Twilight: THEN STOP DENYING IT AND ACCEPT IT!!! IF YOU WANT ME TO BE HAPPY, THEN STOP!

Eclipse: *tenticles crawl up his body* THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I ACCEPT IT!!

Twilight: !!!! *is torn between her physical well-being and trying to get eclipse to stop taking the blame* nnrg...

Eclipse: *the tenticals are still crawling, his eyes glow red* IT'S BETTER IF I'M UPSET WITH MYSELF THAN IF I'M ANGRY AT YOU!! *hyterically* I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!!

Twilight: *instinctively shrinks back* neh....

Eclipse: *sighs, the tenticles going back into him* just go...

Twilight: *backs into her room* ....goodbye, eclipse. *door close*

Eclipse: *turns around and smacks his head against the wall as hard as he can* grrRAH! OWWWW!! @#%&!!!

Wall: *now has a dent in it*

meanwhile

Twilight: *leans back against the door and slides down it until she's sitting against it, and groans* nice one, Twilly. you just go on and keep making it worse.

Eclipse: ... *lays his head against the wall, and just stands there* ...

Twilight: ... *starts bumping her head back against the door* ..... *bump* ..... *bump* ..... *bump* .....

Eclipse: *hears this* ...

Twilight: *bump* ... *bump* ... *bump* ...

Eclipse: ... *knocks on the door*

Twilight: *stops* !! ..... *stands up and opens the door* .....

Eclipse: *quickly hugs Twilight, then walks away* ...

Twilight: ?! *watches him walk off* ...... <:( ........

Eclipse: *goes to his room*

Acid: that's it, eclipse.....

Eclipse: *seems to hesitate in getting up, and going to Twilight* ...

A. Sonic: <hang on... he just needs a little push...> *lightly touches Eclipse on the head*

Eclipse: ! *gets up* Yeah, maybe I SHOULD go see her! >:D *skips off to Twilight and Lightning's room*

A. Sonic: <oh whoops... I think I gave him too much enthusiasm there... uh... at least it quickly wears off ^^;>

Acid: pfff.... no kidding. *stealthily follows eclipse*

A. Sonic: *same*

Eclipse: *losing his enthusiasm as he knocks on Twilly's door* ... :(

Acid: ooh, ooh, wait ._.

A. Sonic: <wait WHAT? I hate waiting. Waiting is NO GOOD!>

Eclipse: ... but... I can't face Twilight again... not after THAT...

Acid: but he's SAYING stuff!!!

A. Sonic: <ooo ok :P>

Eclipse: ... ... maybe I should...

Acid: D8> WHY DOESN'T ANYONE TELL ME THESE THINGS?!

A. Sonic: <hey, I had to READ him to figure it out!>

Eclipse: *wrings his hands* ... maybe it's wrong to be hiding away from everyone...

Acid: *thinking* no you don't, eclipse... you've done okay on your own before, why stop now....?

Eclipse: *as if answering Acid's question* ... GAWD... it's so hard to break away from something like this... especially NOW... now that I know it could have worked... us, being together... *siiiiigh*

A. Sonic: <that answers YOUR question...>

Acid: *thinking* but how does he know it could've worked? did he like, have an affair or something?! D:>

A. Sonic: <I don't think that's it, Acid... Eclipse isn't someone who'd do something so... scandelous... maybe I should read him...>

Acid: maybe you SHOULD, before i make any more assumptions...

A. Sonic: *reading Eclipse* ... ... ... <they changed the past, which, in turn, changed the future. Eclipse and Twilight had become wife and husband. *explains what happened in immense detail because I am LAZY*>

Eclipse: ...

Acid: ......oh.

A. Sonic: ... <I don't blame him for missing love, and being loved...>

Acid: well yeah, i can understand that, but is it THAT HARD to let go? i mean... i let go of Vera....

A. Sonic: <but you had a very long time to let go of Vera... Eclipse is more recent...>

Eclipse: *sigh*

Acid: but was i this bad for this long?

Me: not as bad, but still emo for a while.

A. Sonic: <you weren't as bad... but you were pretty emo-tastic for a while...>

Eclipse: ...

Acid: yeah, but i spend YEARS with her... and ONLY her. why would eclipse let himself go like this over twilight? i mean, did he ever show any interest in her before this?

A. Sonic: ... ... ... ... ... ... <actually... ... YEAH...>

A. Sonic: ugh... you're probably right...

Acid: iiiiiiiiiiiiiii vote we follow him. >.>

A. Sonic: He'd get angry at us...

Acid: dude, YOU'RE an angel. I'M an ex-assasin. i think we can follow him without him seeing us :P

A. Sonic: hmm... alright... *turns invisable*

Acid: *uses his awesome ninja/assasin skills to follow eclipse without being detected*

Eclipse: *wears a small, but still angry frown as he walks around HNHQ* ... mrrr... they don't understand me at ALL...

A. Sonic: *like, seriously right behind him*

Acid: *within hearing distance, but still hidden from eclipse's view*

Eclipse: I mean... YES! I'm depressed! But... *sighs and leans against the wall of the hallway*

A. Sonic: *practically walks into him, but stops just in time* D8 !! *backs up a few steps*

Eclipse: ... because they stopped Giza... me and Lightning's friendship... it's over... and... and now I feel even MORE alone... *slides down onto his butt* ... why does everyone I love have to DIE...?? ... That, or go back to their original relationships... or at least... that's Twilight's case... ... Twilight... ...

Acid: ?! *still within listening distance, but around a corner* *thinking* original relationships?! i never knew eclipse had a relationship with twilight....

Eclipse: ... I don't need her... I DON'T...

A. Sonic: ... <:(

Acid: *punches the air victoriously* YESSS! XD

Me: brb, shower. READ A CHAPTER OR SOMETHING XD

Me: NVM IM BACK.

Me: you take quick showers. XD

Eclipse: *growls, and storms off, back to HNHQ*

A. Sonic: *waits for him to be out of earshot* ... ... y'know, by getting him angry, we've actually helped him... the anger will distract him from moping around...

Me: depends on my mood. ^^;

Acid: i just hope he doesn't get mad and yell at someone... or run into Twilight ._.;

A. Sonic: we've set his mood off, but we haven't set him off at yelling-levels... and as for Twilight... HNHQ is a big place. What are the odds of them bumping into each?

Acid: well, knowing OUR luck....

Acid: *silently follows*

Me: maybe they could go to the hill?

Me: maybe they should.

Eclipse: *walks all the way to the hill*

A. Sonic: *steps out of him*

Eclipse: ... ... why did... you take me here...?

A. Sonic: because moping around and being depressed should be a crime. Come ON, Eclipse... PLEASE... lighten up!

Acid: there's no reason for you to let yourself go like this. look at you, you look like a skeleton with skin on it!

Me: i reckon he hasn't EATEN that whole week he was there either?

Me: eyup.

Eclipse: ... do you... even know waht happened, Acid...?

A. Sonic: ...

Acid: .....i... know that it has to do with lightning and twilight. mikenno wouldn't tell me.

A. Sonic: ... Eclipse... do you mind if I tell Acid what happened...?

Eclipse: *weakly* ...whatever...

A. Sonic: er... well... Eclipse had practically sold his soul to a demon named Giza in order to be rid of his love for Twilight... when Mikenno found out, he and Twilight came and killed Giza. Eclipse got upset, was about to run off, when Twilight catches him... and... well... they kissed. I don't know what triggered it... but they did. And Lightning saw.

Eclipse: *shudders*

Acid: .....................OH.............. well then... *rubs the back of his head*

A. Sonic: it was exactly what Eclipse was trying to prevent from happening. And Lightning atrtacked him.

Eclipse: ... *touches his shoulder again. The one that Lightning dug his claws into* ...

Acid: lightning IS a bit... unstable..........

Me: shoot. CRAP. F*CK. I MADE A MISTAKE.

A. Sonic: that's a problem. Is he seeing a therapist yet? If not, he should.

Eclipse: ...

Me: WHAT?

Acid: he is.. it just... takes a while.

Me: LIGHTNING"S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CRAZY IN THIS ONE BECAUSE THE DEMEKARR WAR DIDNT HAPPEN HERE AND SKYE AND STRIKE ARE STILL ALIVE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--- *shot* although i think i have a fix. remember how i said he had a bad anxiety thing? maybe it just got really bad over the years ._.

Me: oh ok. ._.

A. Sonic: ... *sigh* how long has he had a therapist?

Eclipse: ...

Acid: i dunno..... almost eight months i think.....

A. Sonic: ... hm... well, that's why Eclipse is so upset... *looks back at the hedgebat*

Eclipse: ...

A. Sonic: Twilight already apoligized... well, she kinda sorta mouthed it to him, but, y'know...

Acid: it's understandable that she might want to stay away from eclipse for a bit..... i don't think she wants that to happen again, both for eclipse's sake as well as for lightning's sanity....

A. Sonic: *nods* this, I understand... but they're going to have to eventually talk...

Eclipse: ...

A. Sonic: <_< if we can even GET Eclipse to talk again...

Acid: oh that'll be FUN..... any ideas?

A. Sonic: *shoves Eclipse*

Eclipse: HEY! D8<

A. Sonic: look, I got a word! :D

Acid: SHPFFFF.... *has to hold in laughter, and claps a hand over his mouth*

Eclipse: shut up, Acid - that wasn't funny! D8<

A. Sonic: oh! Oh, look at that! A full sentence! 8D

Lightning: *snaps* GRAAAAAARGH!! *leaps at eclipse, a mad glint in his eyes*

Twilight: !!!!!

Eclipse: *expecting this to come from him, he catches Lightning, and throws him away (but not hard, mind you)* This won't happen again, Lightning!

Lightning: I HAVE TO MAKE SURE, JUST IN CASE!! *snarls, charging at eclipse again*

Twilight: Lightning, STOP!!! D8>

Eclipse: *Lightning successfully knocks him down* oof!

Me: wow, you skipped Ryu, Daemonwolf, AND Wereclipse Ref.

Me: ITS BECAUSE IM GOING BACKWARDS, GOD!!!!!

Lightning: *grins in triumph, and raises a hand, ready to claw the life out of eclipse. he swings down--*

Twilight: *catches his wrist in mid-slash*

Lightning: !!!?!?!??!?! *looks back at her, growling* let. me. GO.

Eclipse: *looks at Twilight, shaking his head, mentally telling her in his face that she shouldn't have done that*

Twilight: *sees it, but ignores it* lightning, do you know what you're doing? you're attacking your FRIEND.

Lightning: HE'S TAKING YOU FROM ME!!!

Eclipse: *stays totally silent... he fears that if he says anything, he'd only make the situatuion worse*

Twilight: no he's NOT. it was an accident, Lightning> *is technically not lying*

Lightning: *sees the truth in her eyes, but this only irks him even more, and he tighten's his grip on eclipse's shoulder, digging his claws into it*

Eclipse: *cries out from this* AUGH!

Twilight: LIGHTNING!

Lightning: *realizes what he's doing, and looks down at eclipse, abruptly letting go of him*

Eclipse: *looks up at him* ...

Lightning: *sees the truth in his eyes too* ...... *gets off him* .........

Twilight: ... *pulls him into a tight hug, and looking over lightning's shoulder at eclipse, she mouths "i'm so sorry"*

Lightning: ...... *hugs her back*

Eclipse: *touches his shoulder. The dim hall lights reflect off thee bit of blood that wells up in the wound. He doesn't dare look at them* ...

Twilight: *is drowning in guilt for having put eclipse through that* .....
Lightning: *is calming down, reassured by the fact that his wife is still his* .......

Eclipse: ... *still clutching the wound, Eclipse walks back to his room*

Twilight: *is afraid to leave lightning*

Me: ...........now whut? mikki won't wanna show his face for not being able to prevent that. who's coming in?

Me: I say nobody for a while. :3

Eclipse: *when he enters his room, he lays down on his bed, curled up in the most pitiful position you can imagine. He doesn't intend to leave that spot for a very long time*

Me: ....o..... kay..... then?

*A WEEK LATER*

Eclipse: *has not budged from that same position on his bed. He has refused to speak with anyone, even Mikenno*

Me: OK, NOW who? D8

Me: bah. What if it's Twiilight?

Me: NOOOOOOO it'll only make it worse.

Me: HURRRRRRRRUUUUUMMMMMMM UUUUHHHHHH RAPTOR! NO - ACID!

Me: OKAY! LETS GET UNCLE ACID IN HERE!

Acid: ..... *knocks on eclipse's door. he's already talked to mikenno and everyone else that's tried to talk to him, so he knows what's up. but not the twilight part >.>*

Eclipse: *doesn't respond* ...

Me: BLAWRGH. OF ALL PICS, MISH, WHY SKIP WERECLIPSE??

Acid: ... *goes inside anyway* eclipse...

Me: I"M NOT SKIPPING!!! THE POST IS THEREEEEEEE! just refresh if you don't see it, i'm following where YOU post. again, the emails don't lie. no email=no reply from you.

Eclipse: *his turqoise eyes glance weakly at Acid before he goes back to staring at the wall* ...

Me: what was the last thing you posted on Daemonwolf?

Acid: eclipse...... *stands in between eclipse and the wall*

Me: it was this:

Me: whoops.

Ivy: oh hello, eclipse.... how are you feeling?

Me: FFFFFFFFFFFFF

Eclipse: ... ... *looks up at him* ... *weakly, the first word he's spoken in a week* ... what...?

Acid: don't you think this is a bit extreme?

Me: whaaat? D:

Eclipse: *doesn't answer Acid. He just shuts his eyes tightly*

Acid: dude, locking yourself in and starving yourself won't fix anything. in any case, it makes matters worse.

Eclipse: ...

Me: what'll make eclipse move? D:

Acid: *rubs the back of his head*

A. Sonic: *appeares* I saw what happened.

Eclipse: *only glances at Sonic*

A. Sonic: he's depressed. Like, INSANELY depressed...

Acid: i think anyone with eyes can see that........ how do we get him out of it? you're an angel. what we need is a miracle. <:(

Eclipse: ...

A. Sonic: I can't manipulate emotions... especially after what happened between him and Twilight... but I CAN get him out of bed. *touches Eclipse, disappearing*

Eclipse: *his eyes gain that green tint. He gets out of bed* there. Step one is complete. Methinks I should just lead him outside, or something. Fresh air on a sunny day could probably clear his head... or at least a LITTLE...

Acid: i'll go with you.

Eclipse: alright. *walks out of Eclipse's room, and heads for the front door out of HNHQ*
