Interesting Iscribble RP

Altodd: ffffsshhtt...!

meanwhile

Iratus: *he thinks* (You want to be friends with Iratus.)

meanwhile

Sam: Then in there? :3

Shidako: *hugs him closer, nuzzling him* Shhhh....

meanwhile

Zorua: He's... already my friend...

meanwhile

Sarah: Err... sure, if you really want to.

Altodd: Mmmnngh...! D8>

meanwhile

Iratus: *he can't help but smile from this, happy she considers him a friend* (Okay. Now go to your room.) *he looks away from her*

meanwhile

Sam: Okay ~ *he wait for her to move aside so he can enter the room*

Shidako: Shhhhh... *kisses his forehead* shhh...

meanwhile

Zorua: *follows his command, scooting past him and going down the hall to her room*

meanwhile

Sarah: *does so, closing the door as soon as he was inside* I'm guessing you either changed your mind, or the command came back...

Altodd: *he whimpers, still holding onto Shidako tightly, wondering when this nightmare of his will ever end*

meanwhile

Iratus: *he watches her leaving, feeling good about himself, then heads back to his room*

meanwhile

Sam: The second one... :3 *he holds her, pulling her closer to him, kissing her neck*

Shidako: *continues to nuzzle him, trying to calm him down as best as she can before she tries to fall asleep*

meanwhile

Sarah: Mmmm... well, that's fun... at least things can go back to normal... <:)

Altodd: *never sleeps, shivering*

meanwhile

Sam: Mmm... normal... *he slides his hand under her shirt again, rubbing her back*

Shidako: *stays up for a while, occasionally dozing off, until she eventually just falls asleep*

meanwhile

Sarah: *relaxes under his touch, sighing* That feels good...

Sam: *he grins again* I can make you feel a lot better...

Sarah: *smirks* Oh, I'm pretty sure you can...

Sam: Well then c'mon ~ :3 *he lets go of her for a brief second to strip*

Sarah: *snorts, amused by his eagerness, and starts stripping as well*

Sam: *as soon as he's completely nude, he practically tackles Sarah again, kissing her like his life depended on it*

Sarah: *wasn't even able to get all her clothes off--he nearly knocks her over, caught off-guard yet again, but she quickly steadies herself and kisses him back passionately, though she wasn't as desperate as he was*

Sam: *he carefully leads her over to the bed, still kissing her - NEEDING to please her - to make her HAPPY*

Sarah: *allows him to move her, breaking the kiss to lay down on the bed and quickly strip off the rest of her clothes*

Sam: *as soon as she's completely naked, he's completely on her, forcing himself into her*

Sarah: *groans as he forces himself into her, vaguely noticing how he almost seemed to be RUSHING--but the pleasure of the action quickly drowned out the thought*

Sam: *he has sex with her, trying to please her as best as he can, groaning with his movements*

Sarah: *moans in pleasure, definitely satisfied by his actions, and tries to return the favor, kissing his neck and rubbing his back and his chest*

up

Altodd: N-nothing...?

meanwhile

Iratus: Thank you. <:( *he heads off to Sam's room, knocking on the door*

Sam: *opens it* Oh... Iratus... hey.

Iratus: We were going to talk, remember? <:/

Sam: ... Right...

Shidako: *continues to nuzzle him* Nothing... Not while I'm here.

meanwhile

Zorua: ... *is too curious not to follow him, so she disguises herself as Absol and tries to be as inconspicuous as possible*

Altodd: O-okay... okay...

meanwhile

Iratus: Can I come in? <:/

Sam: ... Yeah, sure... *he steps aside so Iratus can come in*

Iratus: *walks in*

Shidako: *smiles a little bit, then lays down on the bed and pulls him towards herself, hugging him protectively*

meanwhile

Zorua: *sneaks up to the door, and listens*

Altodd: *hugs her back, just like the night before*

meanwhile

Iratus: *suddenly turns into his beast form and stares into Sam's eyes*

Sam: Whuh... *he becomes blank*

Iratus: (Sam... you love Sarah...)

Sam: ... I love... Sarah...

Iratus: (You will do what it takes to make her happy again...)

Sam: ... what it takes... need to make her happy...

Shidako: *combs through his hair with her claws* ...I want you to try to sleep again... maybe it will help...

meanwhile

Zorua: ?? *is caught off-guard by the sudden voice-change--he sounded more... monstrous*

Altodd: *shuddering* N-no, they'll get me if I sleep...

meanwhile

Iratus: (I've talked to you and convinced you of all of this - you now fully believe it.)

Sam: ...I fully believe it...

Iratus: (Good.) *he looks away from Sam*

Sam: *blinks back into awareness* Wow - thanks so much, Iratus... you've been a great help. <:) OH! I should go talk to Sarah! D: *he runs out of the room, over to Sarah's room, knocking on the door*

meanwhile

Iratus: *carefully pokes his head out of the room, seeing if anyone was there - he sees "Absol"* (Oh!) D:

Shidako: Are you sure...?

meanwhile

Zorua: O___O;;; *quickly turns around, fearing the beast will see through her disguise, and tries to walk away without saying anything*

meanwhile

Sarah: *has already fallen asleep*

Altodd: V-very...

meanwhile

Iratus: (Oh no - WAIT!) *he runs after her, quickly catching up to her and blocking her path*

meanwhile

Sam: *he knocks again, waits, then walks back to his room, figuring she must be asleep*

Shidako: ...okay... can you tell me what they look like? because I can't see them...

meanwhile

Zorua: AH! *stops, but looks down, trying to avoid meeting his gaze* >_______>;;

meanwhile

Sarah: *is awakened by the knocking, and goes to open the door. she sees Sam down the hall* oh--Sam!

Altodd: H-h-hands... and... and black tentacles... all reaching out to grab me...

meanwhile

Iratus: *grabs her by her jaw and forces her to look into his eyes*

meanwhile

Sam: Oh... *he looks over his shoulder and grins at Sarah* ... Hey, Sarah... *he walks back over to her*

Shidako: ...they can't get you, okay? they're in your head... they can't hurt you...

meanwhile

Zorua: *looks clearly afraid, until she goes into the trance and her face goes blank* ...

meanwhile

Sarah: Were you knocking?

Altodd: B-but they're so real... So REAL...!

meanwhile

Iratus: (How much did you see?)

meanwhile

Sam: *still grinning at her* I did. I wanted to talk to you.

Shidako: But they're not... I can't see them, so they're not really here...

meanwhile

Zorua: I didn't see anything... only heard...

meanwhile

Sarah: *finds the grinning a bit odd, but ignores it* Oh. About what?

Altodd: NO! NO, they're just INVISIBLE to you - I can see them!

meanwhile

Iratus: (What did you hear?)

meanwhile

Sam: About this -*he suddenly kisses her passionately*

Shidako: *sighs--but she wasn't going to agitate him any further* Okay okay... I believe you.

meanwhile

Zorua: Everything...

meanwhile

Sarah: !!? *is very much surprised, but quite pleased, and kisses him back*

Altodd: Ohgodohgodohgod...! *hugs her tightly*

meanwhile

Iratus: (You don't need to remember all that...)

meanwhile

Sam: *continues kissing her, sliding his hand under her shirt, up her back*

Shidako: *holds him tightly, rubbing his back* It's okay, it's okay... you're safe from them here...

meanwhile

Zorua: ...Don't need to remember...

meanwhile

Sarah: Mmh... *breaks the kiss* Not out here...

up

Everyone: *does*

Altodd: *stays very close to Shidako, trying not to panic*

Sam: Uhhh... we... all have hair. Weeee... all have... eyes... .__.; Uh... Lucifer controlled all of us at one point, I think...

Iratus: *fights as best as he can in his human form, being sure to watch out for his mother*

Shidako: *keeps him close, hissing furiously at anything that came close--her reputation as a violent opponent helped keep most enemies away*

Sarah: You're right... did he... *thinks* ...Iratus forgot that he wasn't supposed to eat us... you... *looks at Sam* ...what if it was a reset button...? it got rid of all the commands left in our heads...

Zorua: *resumes her routine of taunting, dodging and shoving enemies into each other, keeping an eye out for anyone that resembled Iratus*

Claire: *fights, holding her own particularly well*

Altodd: *moves clumsily, crippled by his own insanity - shaking and sweating from fear*

Sam: ... does this mean that... all along... my love for you was fake anyway...? D:>

Iratus: *fights near Zorua*

Shidako: *snarls and roars at anything that comes near, chasing opponents away before they can get anywhere near Altodd*

Sarah: *just the thought of that being true made her heart sink* ...I-I actually tried to free you from it once, when I was SURE it wasn't real... but it didn't work, so I thought I was wrong...

Zorua: *fights near Iratus, snickering*

Altodd: Nonononono leave me alone...! D8>

Sam: B-but why... why would...? *he thinks* the same reason Altodd's still insane...

Iratus: *beats people up* >:/

Lucifer: *doesn't defend himself* ...

Shidako: *stays right by him, protecting him* Shush, Altodd, you're safe...

Sarah: mhmm... *sighs* dammit, Lucifer...

Zorua: *spots Lucifer, and watches him for a moment before turning her attention back to the fight. from that distance, he DID look a lot like Iratus...*

Altodd: *he claws at the air, trying to smack away imaginary creatures* Nononononono...!

Sam: *he sighs sadly* ... I'm sorry again, Sarah...

Iratus: *defends himself*

Lucifer: *does nothing to defend himself*

Shidako: *puts her arms around him and pulls him closer to her, snarling at the air, looking for whatever could possibly be tormenting him--though it was most likely all in his head* Altodd, calm down...!!

Sarah: It's alright... it wasn't your fault.

Zorua: *decides to ask Iratus about the other man later*

Altodd: Nonononono don't let them get me don'tletthemgetmeplease...!!

Sam: <:( ...

Iratus: *defends himself*

Lucifer: *doesn't*

Shidako: *holds him close* they won't touch you...

Sarah: ...Come on. we can't just stand around... *goes to fight*

Zorua: *fights*

Altodd: *grits his teeth as he shakes and shivers and sweats, whimpering*

Sam: *fights*

Iratus: *fights*

Someone: RETREAT!!

Everyone: *heads back to the teleporters*

Shidako: *leads Altodd back into the stronghold*

Sarah: *heads back inside, feeling down*

Zorua: *tags along with Iratus, waiting until they go inside to ask her question*

*they all enter the stronghold*

Sam: *goes straight to his room*

Altodd: *stays close to Shidako*

Iratus: *he walks into the stronghold, then notices Zorua following him - he stops, wondering what she wanted*

Sarah: *goes to her room*

Shidako: *walks Altodd to their room*

Zorua: *stops when he turns around, almost bumping into him* Whup--Hey, I was just wondering-- *turns into Lucifer* Is this guy your dad? :/

Altodd: *shivering, he practically collapses onto the bed, crawling fully into it and curling up into the fetal position*

meanwhile

Iratus: *cringes when she turns into his father, expecting something horrible to happen* ... y-yes...

Shidako: *sits down on the bed next to him, and pets his head as she has before (will he ever get better?)*

meanwhile

Zorua: *quickly turns back to normal when she sees Iratus' reaction* ...is it really that bad...? <:/

Altodd: *he mumbles gibberish to himself as Shidako pets his head, trying to calm himself but failing miserably*

meanwhile

Iratus: ... It's... it's very bad... oh - oh, I need to help Sam... I'll, uh... see you tomorrow... <:(

Shidako: *leans down and kisses the side of his head, nuzzling him* There's nothing to be afraid of...

meanwhile

Zorua: Oh, right... Well, good luck with that. :/

up

Altodd: No no no no - never safe - never ever ever safe - not from THEM...!

meanwhile

Iratus: Hi, Sarah, hi Sam... what's wrong? <:/

Sam: ... *he's silent, and doesn't look at Iratus OR Sarah* ...

Shidako: *gently nudges Altodd off the bed, always keeping her arms around him* Shush... we'll be fine... you just have to stay with me.

meanwhile

Sarah: ...something happened yesterday... we don't know how or why, but... *shakes her head (SPIT IT OUT)* Sam doesn't have any feelings for me anymore.

Zorua: :/??

Altodd: Don't let go, don't leave me to die...!!

meanwhile

Iratus: That's - that's HORRIBLE! D8> We - okay, no - no no - Sam! We need to talk after the fight! D8>

Sam: ... Okay? <:/

Shidako: *nuzzles him, speaking quietly in an attempt to calm him down* I promise, I won't let anything hurt you.

meanwhile

Sarah: ...

Zorua: *gives Iratus a questioning look, wondering how he could possibly help*

Altodd: O-Okay... okay... *his sobbing and laughing ceases, and he whimpers instead, hugging Shidako*

meanwhile

Iratus: Trust me - I need to know what's wrong, and maybe I can help you. D:

Sam: ... okay, Iratus...

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Shidako: *walks him out of the room and down the hall to the teleporters, always keeping at least one arm around him*

meanwhile

Zorua: *tugs at Iratus' shirt, and waves for him to lean down so she can ask him something--he was rather tall compared to her* :/

Sarah: ...

Altodd: *stumbles along with her, every once in a while tripping over his own feet*

meanwhile

Iratus: ? *leans down for Zorua*

Sam: ?

Shidako: *holds him up, keeping him from falling as they made their way to the teleporters*

meanwhile

Zorua: *whispers* How are you going to help them? D:/

Sarah: ...?

Altodd: *gets to the teleporter with Shidako*

Sam: *is worried for Altodd, even if he barely knows him* D:>

Iratus: *whispers so the others can't hear* You'll see tomorrow...

Shidako: *holds Altodd, hissing at anyone who looks at them funny*

Sarah: *sees this* ...maybe I could help him...

Zorua: *seems unsatisfied with this answer, and pouts* XC

Altodd: *twitches and whimpering*

Sam: ... Maybe you could.

Iratus: Well... *he whispers in her ear again* ... well, I have these powers... I can control people. I'm very powerful with it, too.

Shidako: *hugs him, running her hand through his hair*

Sarah: I wonder what happened... <:/

Zorua: Whoooah, really?

Altodd: *presses against her, biting his bottom lip again*

Sam: Wait - wait, when Lucifer had his little episode and we all went crazy... Altodd stayed like that? D:>

Iratus: Yes. I got the ability from my father.

Shidako: *nuzzles him* ...

Sarah: Looks like it... *narrows her eyes, thinking of something* ...and Iratus started trying to eat people...

Zorua: Ooh. Who's your dad? Is he here?

Altodd: *he weakly nuzzles back, still shivering*

Sam: ... And I stopped loving you...

Iratus: N-no - h-he's not - you don't need to see him or anything - it's fine. D8

Shidako: *continues her attempts to comfort him, trying to think of ways to keep him safe out on the field*

Sarah: ...Lucifer must've had something to do with this...

Zorua: Umm... okaaay...? Why not? You don't like him? :/ *is suspicious*

Altodd: *shivering and hugging Shidako*

Sam: ... I don't doubt that... but what did he do...?

Iratus: Really, it's not important - he and I just don't get along very well. >__>;

Shidako: *comforting Altodd*

Sarah: I don't know... I really don't know... What do you all have in common?

Zorua: ... :/

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

up

Altodd: ... c-can't...

meanwhile

Sam: *eventually, he falls asleep, any thoughts of his sudden change disappearing*

Shidako: ...then I won't either. I won't leave you alone like this.

meanwhile

Sarah: *takes a WHILE to fall asleep... but she eventually does*

Altodd: N-no... g-g-go sleep-p...

Shidako: ...just promise me you will wake me up if you need me.

Altodd: M-m-m'k-kay...

Shidako: *goes back to combing her claws through his hair, and closes her eyes, trying to fall asleep*

Altodd: *never sleeps once for the entire night*

THE NEXT MORNING

Shidako: *still sleeps somewhat uneasily, worried about Altodd*

meanwhile

Sarah: *wakes up. she's confused for a moment when she sees Sam missing, but she soon remembers the night before... she sighs*

meanwhile

Claire: *is asleep*

Altodd: *as soon as Shidako had gone to sleep the night before, he started chewing on his fist again. By the morning, they were cut and bleeding all over*

meanwhile

Sam: *he wakes up in his own bed and is smacked upside the head with the realization that Sarah is probably extremely upset - and it's HIS FAULT...*

meanwhile

Iratus: *he creeps over to his mother, wanting to go out - to see Zorua again. But not as himself. Not after he almost ATE her. He forces his mother's eyes open and stares into them* (You will believe that I am here even when I'm not... you will imagine me here, and in your imagination, I am saying whatever is believable to you... everything is normal...)

Shidako: *groggily wakes up, and the first thing she notices is the smell of blood. this wakes her up almost immediately, and she glances around for the source, and frowning when she finds it* Altodd... *very carefully takes his fist out of his mouth again*

meanwhile

Sarah: *IS rather upset--she gets out of bed and gets ready, and goes out, down the hall to the teleporters*

Zorua: *walks past her, noticing that the girl looked rather upset--as curious as she was, she didn't want to bother her, so she keeps walking* <:/

meanwhile

Claire: *nods, not waking up*

Altodd: S-s-sorry... d-d-didn't w-want to w-wake y-you...

meanwhile

Sam: *with a sigh, he gets out of bed, getting dressed and ready, then heading out*

meanwhile

Iratus: *he gets off his mother, turns human, and walks out the door, looking for Zorua*

Shidako: *resists the temptation to lick the blood off his hand* I told you to wake me up if you needed anything... <:(

meanwhile

Sarah: *gets to the main hall, and waits for the alarm to go off*

meanwhile

Zorua: *spots Iratus, and trots over to him* Hello, Iratus~

Altodd: I-I-I d-didn't-t n-nuh-need anything...

meanwhile

Sam: *he soon joins Sarah in the hall - he can't look at her*

meanwhile

Iratus: Hello, Zorua. ^^ Did you trick anyone today yet?

Shidako: ...does your hand hurt?

meanwhile

Sarah: *sees him out of the corner of her eye, and refuses to acknowledge him--she needed to move on*

meanwhile

Zorua: Nope, not yet~ Though I DID see this sad girl just a little bit ago. *transforms into Sarah* I dunno what was wrong, but she looked REALLY down about SOMETHING... <:/

Altodd: O-oh... i-i-it d-does - d-d-didn't-t notice b-before...

meanwhile

Sam: *feels terrible. He shuffles his feet* ...

meanwhile

Iratus: ... That's Sarah... D:> I need to know why she's sad - will you come with me? <:/

Shidako: ... *very lightly presses his hand against her lips, then pulls it away again. she licks the blood off, then sighs* ... we need to get up. maybe the doctor will know what to do...

meanwhile

Sarah: *can't ignore him anymore* ...hey...

meanwhile

Zorua: *turns back to normal* Of course! I wanted to know, myself, but I thought I would be butting in on something...

Altodd: NO! NO!! NONONONO!! W-WE DON'T NEED TO GO ANYWHERE - S-STAY HERE, WE'LL JUST STAY HERE - STAY FOREVER, SO THEY CAN'T GET US!!

meanwhile

Sam: ... Hey, Sarah...

meanwhile

Iratus: Right - let's go then! D: *runs off*

Shidako: We can't stay here, Altodd, the creators might get mad at us... D:>

meanwhile

Sarah: *looks at him* ... *looks back down, and sighs*

meanwhile

Zorua: ! *runs after him*

Altodd: No - no no no please, don't - *he's sobbing and laughing again* no no no they'll get us - they'll - it's so dark... so dark... I can feel something - something dripping down my face - LAUGHING! HAHA! Ahahaha - STOP LAUGHING AT ME...!!

meanwhile

Sam: ... I don't understand what happened, Sarah... I really don't...

meanwhile

Iratus: *runs over and finds Sarah and Sam there* D: ?

Shidako: ... *kicks the covers off and sits up, pulling Altodd up with her* You're okay, Altodd... we're safe...

meanwhile

Sarah: ? *sees Iratus and Zorua: Oh, hey...

Zorua: :/

up

Iratus: ... (But he turned everyone back to normal... So how come I started trying to eat people...?)

meanwhile

Altodd: E-Everywhere...! Th-they're surrounding me...!! C-can't s-see - c-c-can only h-h-hear th-them...!

meanwhile

Sam: *he stares at her for a while before finally moving his gaze away from her, nodding slightly* ... Something's very wrong...

Claire: ...that, I'm not sure of... I remember, there was something wrong with Altodd, but... maybe the insanity lingered...?

meanwhile

Shidako: *quickly glances around, just to be sure, and speaks in a gentle whisper* It's alright, Altodd... there's no one else but us in here, no matter what you hear...

meanwhile

Sarah: *becomes even more worried* W-well? Spit it out,what is it?? D:>

Iratus: (With only me and Altodd?) D:

meanwhile

Altodd: No no no no no...! They're here... HERE...!!

meanwhile

Sam: *he doesn't dare look at her, and speaks in an even quieter whisper* ... I don't love you anymore...

Claire: ...Do you have any other ideas? D:

meanwhile

Shidako: Well... well, they can't hurt you. I'll protect you...

meanwhile

Sarah: *stands in a shocked silence for a few moments, managing to get out a single word* ..why?

Iratus: ... (No...)

meanwhile

Altodd: *hugs her tightly* O-O-Okay... o-okay...

meanwhile

Sam: *still whispering* ... I don't know...

Claire: ...We'll have to look around and see if anyone else is acting strange tomorrow... I think now, we should just sleep. <:/

meanwhile

Shidako: ...do you think you can sleep? I promise I'll stay right here...

meanwhile

Sarah: *quietly* ...will you leave?

Iratus: (Yes, Mother...) <:/ *he climbs onto the bed, curls up, and later falls asleep*

meanwhile

Altodd: D-d-dunno...

meanwhile

Sam: ... *he takes a step backwards, towards the door* ... you're still my friend, Sarah... you're still my best friend... D:>

Claire: *climbs into bed and falls asleep as well*

meanwhile

Shidako: ...let's try it, at least... *pulls him over to his side of the bed, and pulls the covers over the two of them*

meanwhile

Sarah: *is heartbroken, and it shows* ...I-I can fix it, Sam, I can put you back to normal... D:>

Altodd: *curls up into the fetal position, shivering on the bed as black goop rolls down his face and stains the bed*

meanwhile

Sam: ... But would it be real...? <:(

Shidako: <:( ... *pulls him closer to her and puts her arms around him, gently wiping the black goop away with her thumb*

meanwhile

Sarah: It'd feel the same as before... y-you wouldn't be able to tell the difference... D:>

Altodd: *he finds some comfort in being with Shidako and presses himself against her, still shivering, biting his bottom lip so hard it started to bleed*

meanwhile

Sam: ... Are you really that desperate, Sarah...? D:>

Shidako: *rubs his back, hugging him protectively. she refused to fall asleep until he did*

meanwhile

Sarah: *her voice nearly breaks* ...I still love you, Sam...

Altodd: *he can't fall asleep - he is haunted by imaginary voices and creatures. The blood from his lower lip mixed with the black ooze coming out of his eyes, nose, and mouth*

meanwhile

Sam: ... *he rubs his neck awkwardly. SHE may still love him, but he DIDN'T... she was his FRIEND - his friend since EVER... and now, the very idea of loving her any more than like a sister seemed strange to him... but... would she FORCE him to love her...?*

Shidako: *absolutely refuses to fall asleep, fighting the urge--no, she had to be there for Altodd, she didn't want to leave him to suffer alone... she combs through his hair with her claws, hugging him to herself, wishing there was something she could do...*

meanwhile

Sarah: *can see his hesitation. she didn't want him to leave, and it hurt to know that he had no interest in her anymore, but you know what they say--if you love something, let it go. she spoke very quietly, disappointment edging her words* ...if you don't want to, I-I won't force you...

Altodd: *he presses himself even more against Shidako - biting his lip was starting to hurt a bit too much, so he started gnawing on one of his fists*

meanwhile

Sam: *sighs* ... I'm sorry, Sarah... *he opens the door and leaves the room, heading off to his own room*

Shidako: *puts one hand over his, and gently pulls his fist away from his mouth* Stop that... you'll hurt yourself...

meanwhile

Sarah: *saddened, she walks over to her bed and crawls into it, staring at the wall. she couldn't say it was worse than when he was dead (because it wasn't), but it was close... and it hurt*

Altodd: T-t-trying t-to stop m-myself from m-m-making noise... s-s-so y-y-you c-can sleep-p...

meanwhile

Sam: *travels to his old room and gets into his bed, feeling sad about what has happened... why has he suddenly lost interest Sarah? He was fine BEFORE...*

Shidako: I won't sleep unless you do...

meanwhile

Sarah: *figures she may as well accept that she would be sleeping alone from now on, and tries to fall asleep*

up

Lucifer: ... What would I help with...?

Altodd: *he continues whimpering, nuzzling against Shidako as best as he can, laughing, crying, completely scared and unhappy*

Iratus: *turns around and keeps chasing Zorua, getting closer to Sam and Sarah*

Sam: Okay - he's coming right at us, now! D8

Claire: You could help me stop our son from murdering half our team. D8

Shidako: *hugs him closer* It's okay, it's okay... I'm here, you're safe, it's okay...

Zorua: *just keeps running* D8>

Sarah: *is ready to try taking control of him when he gets close enough*

Lucifer: ... okay...

Altodd: *bites his bottom lip to keep from crying out as he shook in Shidako's arms*

Sam: Get ready... D8

Iratus: *with a loud roar, he gets dangerously close to Sarah and Sam*

Claire: *watches Iratus get closer and closer to Sam and Sarah* Um, now would be nice...! D8>

Shidako: *keeps rocking him, combing her claws through his hair, trying hard to calm him down*

Zorua: *sprints past Sam and Sarah*

Sarah: *puts her hand out, ready to give the command as soon as Iratus touches her* >:(

Lucifer: ... *he commands Iratus* (Stop.)

Iratus: *suddenly slows to a stop, staring blankly*

Sam: O-oh...

Altodd: *shakes and sobs in Shidako's arms*

Claire: *sighs in relief* Thank you...

Sarah: ...Whoah. Okay. *looks around, and spots Claire and Lucifer* ...oh. *puts her hand on Iratus' head* Can you hear me, buddy?

Zorua: *looks back for a moment, and sees that he had stopped* ...??

Shidako: *kisses the side of his head, nuzzling him, holding him tightly* It's okay... it's alright...

Lucifer: ...

Altodd: S'alright... alright... hah... ahahaha.... n-never... alright... n-never ever alright ever again... ahahaha....!

Sam: D-don't look at his eyes, Sarah...

Iratus: *nods, still staring blankly*

Claire: *gives Lucifer a sad look* ...I have to go... if you ever want to talk to me, please, do so...

Shidako: *only hugs him more tightly, suppressing a sob*

Sarah: *sighs* Be glad I don't fall for reverse psychology... *to Iratus* Okay, Iratus, I need you to not eat anyone on our team anymore. Remember everyone? Remember Sam? Claire?

Zorua: Me? D8

Sarah: ?? *looks back* Um, her too? You don't want to eat any of us.

Lucifer: *says nothing. Only stares at Claire* ...

Altodd: N-no m-m-muh-more peace... n-not an-nymore... wh-why... s'there n-nuh-no more p-p-peace...?

Iratus: (... Don't eat... anyone...)

Sam: ... I'm surprised your powers work on him... isn't he, like, a hundred times more powerful than you?

Claire: ... *leaves, and heads towards her sons and Sarah*

Shidako: *shakes her head* I don't know, Altodd... I wish I knew...

Sarah: Yeah, it's weird... thing is, all he has to do is LOOK at you... *takes her hand off his head*

Zorua: What did you DO? .___.;

Lucifer: ...

Altodd: *he tightens his hold on Shidako* Th-they won't leave me alone...!

Sam: <:/

Iratus: (Whah - what - I-I am sorry, sorry for trying to eat you...) D8

Zorua: No, it's okay, I uh... just don't get what just happened, with everyone just... falling down all of a sudden... and then you trying to eat me... it's all confusing. D;

Claire: *walks up to them* Hey! I'm glad to see you're all okay... D:>

Someone: RETREAT!

Sarah: Oh, goodie...

Shidako: ...come on... *stands up, pulling Altodd up with her* Come on... we're going inside now...

Iratus: ... (We need to head back. Come on.) *he heads to the teleporters*

Lucifer: *does the same*

Altodd: *is practically dragged by Shidako to the teleporters*

Sam: ... Uh... come on, Sarah... D: *heads to the teleporters as well - now that everything's calmed down, he feels... different about Sarah*

*IN THE STRONGHOLD*

Zorua: *is still rather confused and a bit shaken by the whole ordeal--she's always fought others for fun, never to kill* ...

Claire: *quietly goes towards her room*

Sarah: I think we should go get some rest, Sam...

Shidako: *half-drags, half-carries Altodd back to their room, setting him down on the bed* D:> ...

Iratus: *heads over to their room with his mother* ...

meanwhile

Sam: ... Uh... yeah. Okay. *He wasn't too comfortable with the idea of sharing a bed with Sarah - how strange, he thought, didn't he love her? So why wouldn't he be comfortable to be in the same bed as her?*

MEANWHILE

Altodd: *he's laughing more than crying now, rocking on the bed, hugging himself tightly*

Zorua: *was a bit too afraid of him to talk to him, so she goes and heads back to her room*

meanwhile

Claire: *lets Iratus into their room and closes the door* Are you feeling alright now, Iratus? What happened? <:/

meanwhile

Shidako: *takes her gauntlets off, sits down next to him and hugs him again, nuzzling, trying to get him to stop somehow...*

Sarah: *opens the door for Sam, then closes it when they're both inside. she sighs* Can this place get ANY crazier? DX

Iratus: ... (I just... I couldn't feel anything... no love... no empathy... I was just... HUNGRY... What... what did Father DO...?)

meanwhile

Altodd: *he's shaking involuntarily, grinding his teeth together in his jittery nervousness* n-no, p-p-please... p-p-please d-don't... o-o-oh god help m-m-me...!

meanwhile

Sam: *staring at Sarah - his fear was growing. He couldn't feel any connection to her anymore - NOTHING! WHY?? He speaks quietly, in a whisper, that fear starting to show on his face* ... Yes...

Claire: ...he drove everyone insane... he drove everyone on the Blank Space completely insane, all at once... it was TERRIFYING...

meanwhile

Shidako: Altodd, please, tell me what's wrong...! D:>

meanwhile

Sarah: *looks at Sam, eyes narrowed in confusion, but they quickly widen into a look of concern* Is something wrong? D:

up

Me: That was a move...? D;>

Iratus: *keeps watching, interested and amazed by Zorua's abilities*

Sam: *kicks @$$*

Lucifer: *doesn't*

Zorua: *continues taunting, dodging, and pitting enemies against each other, laughing at their plight the entire time*

Sarah: *fights*

Claire: *fights*

Iratus: *watches*

Sam: *fights*

Lucifer: *suddenly, in his head, he snaps and falls into a fit of pure rage. His eyes bleed black ooze, He screams - practically ROARS - at the top of his lungs, and everyone around him, except for Claire, fell*

Everyone: *theirs eyes bleed black ooze as well, their noses bleed black, as well as their mouths, and they are thrown into a state of mania, laughing and crying and screaming in horror all at once*

Claire: *watches in horror as everyone around her descends into madness--she looks for Lucifer, knowing this was his doing, and hoping she could do something to stop him. he was easy enough to find as he was the only other person standing, and she cautiously approaches him*

Sarah: *is somewhat protected by her own powers, but she can feel the blank ooze coming out of her eyes, her nose, her mouth, she knows she can't do ANYTHING to stop this, and that terrifies her. she manages to get back on her feet, ignoring the furious voice in her head that commanded her to fall like the others--she had to find Lucifer*

Lucifer: *he grits his teeth in his fury, shaking, watching everyone cry and scream and laugh - LAUGH! Laughing at HIM! Because he is UNLOVABLE unless he FORCES the damned feeling! He screams again, crying out a mixture of pure, unfaltering RAGE and... a sort of half-sob, a begging for the creators to just END him so he didn't have to live as tortured as he was anymore*

Everyone: *completely insane*

Claire: *can hear the pain in his scream--she didn't know it had hurt him THIS much... She edges closer, until she's only a few feet away from him, and she speaks in a whisper* ...Lucifer...

Sarah: *watches this from a distance, wondering if Claire was just as insane as the rest of them--you HAD to be insane if you're going anywhere NEAR him when he's like that...*

Lucifer: *still shaking with rage, he snaps his head in her direction, his face still bleeding the goopy substance* WHAT?? WHAT DO YOU WANT?? D8<

Everyone: *insane*

Claire: !! I-I want you to stop this...!

Sarah: *watches, only half-paying attention as she tried to fight off the insanity that plagued everyone else*

Lucifer: *the black ooze streaked down his face like tears* WHY SHOULD I STOP?? WH-WHY??

Everyone: *insane*

Claire: Because it's not everyone else's fault that you're hurting right now!! They don't deserve this! Please, Lucifer, I'm begging you!

Sarah: ...

Lucifer: *his rages slowly fades away, leaving behind only sorrow. His body relaxes, and his eyes return to normal*

Everyone: *returns to normal as well and gets up, confused*

Sam: Ohh god... what the hell happened...?? D8>

Altodd: *is still insane, lying on the ground, on his side, curled up into a ball and crying, laughing, and screaming*

Claire: *lets out a massive sigh of relief* Thank you...

Sarah: *relieved, she starts trying to wipe the black stuff off her face* jeez...

Shidako: *looks around for Altodd, and becomes extremely worried when she sees him on the ground, still laughing insanely* Altodd? Altodd, get up...! D:>

Lucifer: *he only stares at Claire, depressed* ...

Todd: *wiping black gunk off his face, he sees Altodd, and what has happened to him* ... Altodd...? D:>

Altodd: *quite insane*

Sam: D:> ??

Iratus: *EATS PEOPLE* GROOAARRGH!!

Claire: *puts a hand on his shoulder, staring back* ...You shouldn't stay this way, Lucifer...

Shidako: *kneels down next to Altodd, and tries to stand him up* Come on, this isn't funny... no one else is laughing anymore... D:>

Key: *wiping the black stuff off with the back of her sleeve* Why won't he stop...? D:>

Sarah: *sees Iratus* I-I don't think that's our only problem right now. D:

Zorua: *is still rather dazed, trying to clean the black gunk off*

Lucifer: *quietly to her* ... You gave me a reason to exist...

Altodd: *insane*

Sam: *spots Iratus* ... What's...?

Iratus: *with a snarl, he charges at Zorua*

Claire: And you can keep on existing... There's no reason you should be holding in that much pain...

Shidako: *is too concerned with Altodd to notice much else* Please, say something...! D:>

Zorua: ?? *sees Iratus charging at her* Uh oh. D8 *tries to flee from him*

Sarah: Oh no--we have to catch him before he eats someone--come on! D8>

Lucifer: ... Yes there is...

Altodd: *doesn't answer Shidako, only keeps laughing and sobbing at the same time*

Sam: D8 ! *chases after Iratus with Sarah*

Iratus: *runs after Zorua, hungry, filled with animalistic rage and energy* GROAARRGH!!

Claire: ! *hears Iratus roar and looks over* !! *looks back at Lucifer* And what exactly is your reason? D:>

Shidako: *hugs Altodd tightly, rocking him back and forth, trying to get him to stop crying*

Zorua: *dodges and weaves between enemies, trying to distract Ira, to throw him off, hoping she can lose him* D8

Sarah: We won't be able to catch up...! D:>

Lucifer: ... You never loved me, anyway... I may as well suffer...

Altodd: *his cries and jittery laughter turn to whimpers as Shidako rocked him into a more calm - calm ENOUGH - state*

Sam: Th-then... what do we do...? D8>

Iratus: *smashes the people out of the way, flinging them like ragdolls*

Claire: ...I did, once... but now, I need you to help me, please...

Shidako: *nuzzles him, wondering WHY... why was he still like this...?*

Sarah: Maybe we can get that girl he's chasing to come over here--HEY! RED PONYTAIL! OVER HERE!!

Zorua: !? *glances back and sees Sarah waving--she recalls seeing her and the other boy with the big monster, so she screeches to a halt, and waits for Ira to come close enough so that she can warp around him, and keep running*

up

Iratus: *his face lights up* (I would like to talk to my brother.) :D

Claire: Then maaaybe we should get moving. :P *starts going down the hallway*

Iratus: *happily follows his mother out, into the hallway*

A few People: *are coming out of their rooms and going down the hallway*

Sam: *waits with Sarah near the teleporter*

Zorua: *spots Iratus and Claire* >_____>;

Claire: *sees Sam* Ah! There he is. Go say hi. :)

Sarah: *is waiting with Sam* Doo-dee-doo...

Iratus: *runs over and glomps Sam* (HELLO, SAM!) :D

Sam: AAH!! AHHHELLO IRATUS, AAAHH!! D8

Sarah: *is nearly knocked over when Iratus practically tackles Sam, though her shock is quickly replaced by laughter*

Claire: *also bursts out laughing* XD;;

Zorua: *snickers*

Iratus: *lets Sam down* (I am sorry, Sam, but I feel that we must spend more time together. We ARE brothers, after all!)

Sam: Uh... by hugging? D:/

Sarah: I think it's cute. X)

Claire: I agree. XD;

Zorua: *snickers some more*

Sam: It won't be cute when my spine's broken. D:

Iratus: (But we can talk! Learn more about each other! Perhaps you can teach me things!) :D

Sam: Uh... sure... but after we fight today. D:

Sarah: I think some sibling bonding time would be good for you two. :)

Claire: ^^

Zorua: *wonders how in the world the two of them were related--they look nothing LIKE their mother*

Iratus: (I agree!) ^^

Sam: Uh... sure. I'm okay with that. XD;

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Zorua: *winces* OW.

Sarah: *waits for the teleporters to activate*

Claire: *does the same*

Iratus: *waits*

Sam: *waits*

Everyone: *arrives*

Lucifer: *still depressed*

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

Everyone: *does*

Zorua: *decides to do something different and not transform for the fight--she felt like showing off her powers anyway*

Sarah: *defends herself, shooting things*

Claire: *fights, also shooting things*

Sam: defends himself*

Iratus: *tears things in half*

Lucifer: *depressed*

Zorua: *mostly just taunts enemies, tricking them into accidentally hitting each other as she nimbly dodges out of their way*

Sarah: *defends herself*

Claire: *shoots stuff*

Iratus: *watches Zorua fight, interested*

Sam: *fights*

Lucifer: *doesn't*

Zorua: *snickers when she causes an Orc to punch a large troll in the face. she almost doesn't notice the clawed Heartless running up behind her until it's a few feet away--when she steps aside, she moved so fast she almost seemed to warp behind it, and when it stops to look for her, she attacks it, shoving it into a horde of Infected that promptly rips it apart. she snickers again*

Claire: *fights*

Sarah: *fights*

Me: Guh. Writing out pokémon moves can be haaaard...

up

Iratus: Pokes? What are pokes? .__.

Zorua: *snickers a bit* No no no, not pokes, Pokés. As in "Pokémon." :/ I guess this means you aren't a Trainer, either...

Iratus: A trainer? A trainer of what? D:/

Zorua: Err... never mind. >___> So um, if you're not a Poké, and you're not a trainer, what are you? *is curious*

Iratus: ... I'm... I'm, uh... I'm just a guy. Not very interesting. >__>;

Zorua: Oh. Aww. Really? You seem different. :/ Ah well.

Iratus: D-different? You thought I was different? How? D:

Zorua: Well, all the other "just guys" don't have pointy ears. Like-- *transforms into Alex*-- this guy. Or-- *transforms into Joey*--this guy either. *turns back to normal* I know a lot of Pokés who have 'em though, but since you're not a Poké...

Iratus: P-pointy...? *He then realizes that he had kept his demon-ears in his human form* ... Ah... well, I have good hearing. That's all. You caught me - I'm different. ^^;

Zorua: Whatever you say, Mr. I'm-Normal. :P You seem to know my name, may I know yours~?

Iratus: Uh... Iratus. Maybe I'll see a bit more around here? :)

Zorua: *grins* I don't see why not. :3

Iratus: This is good. I look forward to talking to you more - but now I must go back to my room. *he smiles and walks off to his and his mother's room, knowing that if she was awake, she was probably worrying. He also knew that he could only approach Zorua while he is a human, as she seemed more willing to talk to him while he is human*

Zorua: *watches him walk off, then spins on her heel and heads in the opposite direction, looking for some other unlucky soul to prank*

meanwhile

Claire: *opens the door right as Iratus reaches it* AH! There you are... where've you been?? D:>

Iratus: Just out... taking a walk. :)

Claire: Practicing your human form, I see... Make sure to warn me next time, I thought something had happened to you... D;

Iratus: Yes, Mother - I'm sorry. D: *he then turns back into his demon form* (Should we go ahead and wait in the hall?)

Claire: I don't see why not. Maybe you can talk to your brother for a little while. :)
