Interesting Iscribble RP

THE RACCOON: BECAUSE YOU'RE BOTH ANIMALS! <3

Harry: [but that doesn't make sense - I mean, animals have their own separate ways of communicating - we can't just -]

THE RACCOON: SSSSSHHHH!

Claire: [...like i said, I'm not even going to ask... How am I supposed to fight like this??] D:

THE RACCOON: LOLDUNNO. CLAW AT PEOPLE. BITE. PECK. BE A FREAKING EAGLE. *POOFGONE*

Harry: [That's not very helpful!!] D8>

Claire: D8> *flaps her wings, but is barely able to get herself off the bed* [nrrr...!! This isn't working...!!]

Harry: *picks her up with a hand* [how about you just stay with me - and stay ALIVE}

Claire: [That works. I'll just... sit on your head or something.] D:>

Harry: [that works.] *places her on his head and walks out of the room on all fours*

Claire: *sits there, hunched down as if she was trying to hide. it was a bit pathetic, really. she definitely needed to figure out how to fly* ...

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEE! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Harry: *runs to the teleporter*

Claire: [Huh. that's odd. Guess they changed on purpose, then.]

Harry: [They feel like elastic, now. It's weird.]

Everyone: *at the teleporter*

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED, PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

Claire: Kruu...

*they all step out--IN THE BLANK SPACE*

Mikenno: *does his best to keep out of Harry and Claire's way. he stays in his mobian form to avoid calling attention to himself* ...

Eclipse: *stays away from Mikenno, still feeling bitter towards him*

Harry: *makes sure Claire stays on top of his head at all costs* Grr... [Let's hope this is simple enough... that it ends quickly...]

Todd: *emotionless again, but notices Harry, and is reminded of his death. He is unsure about the eagle on his head, and why it's there* ...

Mikenno: *notices this, and is somewhat saddened by it (though he knows he deserves it)*

Claire: *does her best to stay balanced on Harry's head, trying not to dig her talons into his skull* [Yeah, really. staying up here's harder than i thought.] D:

Eclipse: *beats on Origini and Canoui*

Todd: *same*

Harry: *is careful with his movements, trying not to be too jerky. He punches a zombie's head off*

Mikenno: *takes out an Origini, feeling somewhat odd while doing so. these used to be his allies* ...

Claire: [nice shot--]--SKREEEK!! *is knocked off Harry's head by a leaping Heartless, and flails around, managing to get some air under her wings and catch herself before hitting the ground-- she flies above the Heartless' head, avoiding a swipe* [JEEZ...!] D8

Eclipse: *kills*

Todd: *things*

Harry: *slashes the heartless into oblivion* [Claire - you can fly!] D:

Claire: *finds it easy to stay aloft once she was off the ground* [Apparently I can... I guess I just don't know how to take off.] ^^; [Let's see if i can use these claws for something...] *lets out a loud screech, and dives talons-first into a Heartless, ripping right through it* [OKAY, I can't believe that worked. This is good.]

Harry: [Don't get hurt!] D: *PWANCHes an Origini*

Claire: [I'll do my best...] *dives through another Heartless, and swerves around an Origini, clawing at the back of its head and pushing it towards Harry*

Harry: *rips the poor thing in half with an angry snarl*

Claire: *looks around for something else to attack, but her attention is caught by something fast and blue--Twilight, carrying someone? she didn't recognize them* [Hey Harry, looks like someone's hurt!] D:>

Twilight: *runs past in daemon form, towards the teleporters, an injured Raptor on her back* RETREAT!!

Shidako: *very faintly, from across the field* MIKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!! WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU??

Mikenno: *his ears flatten against his head. this wasn't good. if Shidako was taking people out because he left...* ...

up

Eclipse: Are you actually expecting to be able to avoid them? *sighs* Whatever, Mikenno. Just... whatever. *walks away*

meanwhile

Harry: *doesn't wake up from this - he was fighting Miknno now - then, Mikenno slashed at his throat, and -* AAHGH!! *Harry had woken up. Unsure, he sat up slowly, gripping his throat, eyes wide with fear*

Mikenno: *quietly* i can try... *calls after him* you never gave me a room!

meanwhile

Claire: !! *sits up with him* Harry, what's wrong?? Nightmare??

Eclipse: Oh, right - 322 - the hall opposite from this one is the residential area. *turns to leave again*

meanwhile

Harry: *still somewhat disorientated from the nightmare, his voice is shaky and unsure* It... it didn't start OUT normal... well, I mean, it was WEIRD... i-it was - I was that monster-thing again, a-a-and it - I - I was just wandering around the blank space, I didn't really know - I didn't know what was going on, i-it just seemed NORMAL though - I felt so USED to it... *he wrings his hands* a-and then that big white dragon was there, and... and he - he ripped out my throat - he just lunged forward and - oh god... oh god, it felt so real...

Mikenno: alright... *calls after him again* Hey Eclipse? I'm sorry, okay?? *a bit more quietly, knowing Eclipse can hear him* I know it doesn't mean much, but there it is.

meanwhile

Claire: It's... It's okay, Harry, it was just a dream... You're still here, see..? ... We'll just have to deal with the dragon soon. Maybe that'll help you sleep...

Eclipse: *glances back one final time before heading to his room*

meanwhile

Harry: ... yeah... yeah, alright...

Mikenno: ... *goes to his own room without another word*

meanwhile

Claire: ...let's just ...try to sleep. We're going to need it... *lays back down*

Harry: Alright... *he does so*

THE NEXT DAY

Harry: *wakes up to find his mechanical arm gone. Also, he seemed to be wearing very stretchy sweatpants that were too short for him - the only went down to the tops of his ankles* Hey! D:

Claire: *is startled awake by the noise, and nearly falls off the bed, letting out a surprised squawk--SQUAWK!? she looks down--she was a BIRD. a BIRD. Specifically an eagle, but she was a BIRD. she screeches, feathers half-puffing up in annoyance*

Harry: CLAIRE?? D8 YOU - YOU'RE LATE WITH THE SUDDEN ANIMAL TRANSFORMATION! D8

Claire: *cocks her head to one side (this already happened?) she wasn't very happy with the sudden change--how was she supposed to shoot a crossbow with TALONS? Hell, she didn't even know how to FLY* ...kreee... >.<;

Harry: How'sabout you just... stay with me, okay? D:

THE RACCOON: YOUR NEW WEAPON IS DONE! HOORAY!

Harry: !!!???

THE RACCOON: HERE, I'LL HELP YOU GET YOU STARTED - IT'LL FEEL KINDA HURTFUL AT FIRST, BUT ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT, YOU SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES.

Harry: NO ISSUES WITH WHAT?? D8<

THE RACCOON: *"HELPS" HIM BY STANDING AND DOING NOTHING*

Harry: AHH!! *suddenly doubles over in pain, shaking. His muscle mass was increasing, and he was sprouting fur and horns* Auuhhhgh...!!

Claire: !! *squawks in surprise (the was getting sick of the bird noises already) and watches as Harry transforms back into the beast (no, no, not THIS again...!!)* D8

Harry: *finally, his transformation completes, and he roars angrily at THE RACCOON, punching her away* [WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??]

THE RACCOON: I MADE YOU FUN! WHEE!

Claire: *screeches angrily, opening her wings up threateningly* [WHY DID YOU TURN HIM BACK INTO A MONSTER?! IF HE DIES AGAIN, I SWEAR I'LL PECK YOUR EYES OUT!!] D8>

THE RACCOON: OH NO, DON'T WORRY, HE WON'T. UNLESS YOU MAKE ME WANT TO.

Harry: [Wait - Claire - I can understand you!] D8

Claire: [Hey--WHAT? ...I'm not even going to ask how that's even possible.]

up

Vaporizers: *identify Mikenno as a mobian - possible fandoms derived: Sonic The Hedgehog Archie Comics, Sonic The Comic, Sonic The Hedgehog, The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Mickey Mouse, Disney (cont.) - they do not try to kill him*

Harry: *now raising his voice, though in a tone - a very particular tone - one that was telling her that he was BEGGING her, now* CLAIRE, I GREW UP WITH THIS! I'M FINE, NOW LEAVE!

Claire: !! *backs away, somewhat shocked, though if it was because of what he said or how he said it, she wasn't sure. looking slightly defeated and very reluctant, she slowly turns to leave*

Mikenno: *sighs in relief when the vaporizers stop trying to kill him, but his attemtion is quickly caught by the argument near him* ...

Harry: *waits until Claire is fully out of earshot before turning back to his father, a dark anger filling his eyes. He speaks quietly, through his teeth* Now you listen here... I KILLED you - I murdered you in the most brutal, horrifying way possible - you have NO RIGHT to treat me like this...

Vincent: You did what, now?

Harry: *sighs in annoyance* I'm more capable of doing bad shoot to you than you think I am. WATCH yourself, "old man"...

Vincent: *doesn't like Harry's tone, and doesn't like his words. He lets go of his son. He was done with Harry... for now*

Harry: ... *he leaves, wondering if he should go to his own room, or back to Claire's*

Mikenno: ! *keeps out of sight. he's not that hard to recognize, even between forms. he curses the creators for forcing him to switch sides, NOW of all times. he knew no good would come of it. trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible, he hunts around for Eclipse*

Claire: *sits on the edge of her bed, drumming her fingers on her knee, waiting for Harry to come back. somehow, she knew he was okay, but she was still a bit anxious* ....

Harry: *he does want to go back to Claire - but he feared she would ask questions... he headed over to her room despite this - he felt happy with her, and maybe she won't... ask him about his father. He knocks on the door*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *is in Jacob's medical room - he's worried about Riolu as everyone else is*

Todd: *is strapped down again*

Claire: ! *quickly gets up and opens the door, breathing a sigh of relief when she sees Harry's no worse for wear. she lets him in* Thank god you're okay, what happened?? D:>

meanwhile

Riolu: *was in pretty bad shape--he had gotten attacked by Shidako after she had dealt with the Behemoth. he never saw her coming. he's still unconscious* ...

Key: *eyes Riolu with concern, standing by Todd's bed* ...

Mikenno: *peeks into the room and sees Eclipse, but doesn't come inside. Too risky with the girl and the infected there, he wasn't exactly sure how they'd react. he decides to wait until Eclipse comes out* ...

Harry: Nothing happened... he just let me go.

meanwhile

Jacob: *treats Riolu* ...

Todd: *watches Jacob do so*

Eclipse: ... *knowing that Riolu is in good hands, he walks out of the room*

Claire: ...That's... good... You shouldn't have to take that, you know.

meanwhile

Mikenno: ! *whispers loudly to try to get his attention without alerting anyone else* Eclipse! D:

Harry: ... I know how to deal with him, now. Hopefully I WON'T have to take that anymore... *he steps into the room*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *in an angry whisper* YOU?? What the frack are you doing here?? How the frack did you get past the defenses?? D8< *goes into his Condemned form, expecting some kind of attack*

Claire: *closes the door behind him* ...has he always been like that?

meanwhile

Mikenno: I don't know, Eclipse! Halfway through the fight, I get forced into my mobian form and every single Origini immediately turns on me! I don't know why, but the creators made me switch sides.

Harry: *seems to choke out his answer* Yuh... yes. Always.

meanwhile

Eclipse: *through his teeth* you KILLED HARRY.

Claire: *tries not to imagine how much Harry had to suffer as a kid. she figures asking any more questions would bring up more bad memories, so she refrains from asking any* ...Well... we can deal with him, right? *takes his hand, squeezing it reassuringly* You've got Todd, and Key, me, and everyone else. We're all on your side here.

meanwhile

Mikenno: Don't you think I KNOW THAT? You can't tell me you haven't taken any lives, Eclipse! It's part of their game, you HAVE to play by the rules.

Harry: *smiles gratefully at her* ... thank you, Claire. *he glances over to the bed* ... maybe we should sleep.

meanwhile

Eclipse: I wasn't trying too hard to take peoples' lives, Mikenno - you could have just injured him - not TEAR OUT HIS THROAT!

Claire: *glances over when he does* ...maybe we should. *lightly tugs him towards the bed, then climbs in*

meanwhile

Mikenno: I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was doing! Look-- *turns his head to one side to show how some of his quills were turning red* see that? I KNOW what's happening to me, and it's not good. I'm losing it, Eclipse, I can't think straight when I fight anymore!

Harry: *climbs into bed with Claire* Good night, Claire. :)

meanwhile

Eclipse: *simply* Why, Mikenno? Why do you think that's happening to you?

Claire: *hugs him tightly around the middle, almost protectively* Goodnight, Harry... <3

meanwhile

Mikenno: Tthere's... there's too much blood being spilled on the field, and not by me. It's starting to affect how I think! I-It's all in my genetics, I SHOULD want to kill but I don't! The... the Creators, they're... taking advantage of that. the Fish wants an unstoppable killing force, and she's getting one--and I don't approve one bit.

Harry: *snuggles against her, soon falling asleep*

meanwhile

Eclipse: *flatly* But if you kill everyone, their fun ends.

Claire: *quickly falls asleep as well*

meanwhile

Mikenno: I know Eclipse, I know... that's why I've tried to keep to killing faceless mooks the entire time... Look, Eclipse, I don't know exactly why I'm here, and I know you don't either, but... can we at least TRY not to be hostile with each other? I know I probably don't deserve that right now, but...

Eclipse: *still glaring at him* I'll give you a room. Don't think the others are going to be so forgiving. Especially Todd, Key, Harry and Claire.

meanwhile, MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (as in fast-forwarding the time on the meanwhile)

Harry: *has a very VIVID dream of him being his beast-self again. It was SO vivid, in fact, that outside of the dream, Harry whimpered and growled in an animal-like fashion*

Mikenno: I'm not expecting them to. In fact, I'm planning on staying well away from them. I'd rather not cause any MORE problems...

meanwhile

Claire: *wakes up from the noise--she could hae sworn she hadn't fallen asleep next to Harry in his beast form...* Harry...? Are you okay?

up

Harry: *RUNS* frack!!

Vincent: *does so as well* D8

Todd: ... *he runs*

Behemoth: *continues to chase them, wildly swinging its huge blade at them*

Claire: How are we gonna kill this thing!?! D8

Shidako: *charges in from the side, flanking the Behemoth and knocking it off balance* TOOTHPICK IS MIIIIINE!! D:

Behemoth: !?! *is very much distracted by the new threat* RAAAAAAAAWWWWW!!!

Claire: *skids to a halt* ...That was convenient... What is "Toothpick"?

Alex: uhh... maybe a toothpick?

Harry: No. That's the name she calls me. DX

Todd: Really?

Harry: Let's focus on escaping while it's distracted. |:C

Vincent: *sniffs* Yeah, fine then.

Mikenno: *is now nowhere in sight*

Claire: Good idea. D:

Behemoth & Shidako: *continue to fight, never noticing the fleeing Deriviti*

Claire: We need to find you two some weapons...

Alex: I know where I dropped mine, I'd just need to go get it. D:

THE RACCOON: I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU LATER, HARRY. *POOFGONE*

Harry: Liiike... a weapon? D: I NEED A WEAPON NOW, DAMNIT. D8<

Todd: ...

Vincent: Why not jus' wrestle with ther damn thing, boy? Heheh.

Harry: >8C

Claire: *shoots at an Origini, and kills it* Why don't you HELP!? D:<

Key: *cringes, and turns to shoot at something else. this may not end well...*

Vincent: Because I don't wanna.

Harry: *snorts*

Todd: We need to keep moving.

Claire: *nods, and leads them away*

Alex: *spots his machine gun* !! *runs towards it*

A Heartless: *leaps at him, and lands on his back*

Alex: AAH!! *grabs at it, trying to get it off*

Key: !! Don't move!! *shoots it off*

Alex: *gives her a grateful look, then grabs his machine gun* Okay, no longer useless. Awesome.

Harry: Alright. Now where's my bat?

Todd: Um... *nudges Harry, then points*

Bat: *has been snapped in two*

Harry: frack. frack! frack!!

Todd: THE RACCOON said she's help you. <_<

Vincent: Hahaha! I guess you're just not WORTH a weapon, boy! Hah!

Claire: *is starting to get very irritated by Vincent, but tries to ignore him* No use in worrying about it--right now, we have to stay alive.

Twilight: *runs past in Daemon form, with an unconscious Riolu on her back* RETREAT!!

Harry: ?? I... I guess we'll head in, anyway...

Vincent: What? NOW?

Harry: ... yes...

Todd: Riolu! D: *is starting to show some emotion again*

Harry: *takes Todd by the arm and starts dragging him towards the teleporters*

Claire: ... *goes after Harry*

Key: oh no...! *runs past them, into the teleporters*

Alex: ? *follows her*

*THEY ALL GO INSIDE*

D.Twilight: *runs straight to the med wing*

Key: ...I wanna see if he's okay. I'll be back. D: *follows her down the hall*

Todd: I'm coming with you. *follows Key*

Harry: ... I guess I'll just... go back to the room?

Vincent: What the frack is this place, boy?

Harry: *quietly* ... the stronghold...

Vincent: SPEAK UP, BOY - YER OLD MAN'S DEAF!!

Harry: *flinches* The stronghold! THE STRONGHOLD!

Vincent: Don't you go snapping at ME, boy! You need a lesson taught t'yah?? DO YAH??

Alex: *decides that this is a bad place to be, and leaves*

Claire: *is very much appalled by Vincent's behavior towards Harry, and immediately becomes defensive of him, stepping between him and his father* He doesn't have to deal with you. You can't do anything to him here. >:(

Vincent: Oh Yeah? Say's WHO, Lil' Miss?

THE RACCOON: SAYS ME. NO KILLING, VINCENT.

Harry: *for once, he's glad THE RACCOON is there. He continues to stare at his father* D8 ...

Vincent: Aw, I ain't gunna KILL 'em, lil' animal... I only wanna push 'im AROUND a lil'...

THE RACCOON: OH, WELL THEN, THAT'S FINE. ^^ *POOFGONE*

Harry: WHAT?? D8>

Vincent: *shoves Harry against a wall* Here that, boy? YOU HAVEN'T ESCAPED ME AFTER ALL!

Claire: D8<!!! *pulls a crossbow bolt out of her bag, and approaches the two men, attempting to put herself between the two of them as she held the sharp weapon ready. She wasn't going to let him hurt Harry* Get away from him! D8<

Vincent: And whadder you gonna do about it, missy? Kill me? That's not allowed!

Harry: ... Claire, just go to your room, or something - there's nothing you can do about this...

Claire: I'm not just going to stand by and wait for you to come back knowing what he's going to do to you! D:<

Mikenno: *stumbles out of the teleporter in his mobian form, looking rather beaten up and slightly disoriented. spotting the trio, he tries to get around them as quietly as he can* ...

Vaporizers: *target him*

Harry: It... it's fine... I'm used to it, anyway...

Vincent: See? You hear that? He's fine with it!

Claire: No, Harry, it's not fine!

Mikenno: *notices this* oh crap--!! *quietly* I-I'm not an Origini, I swear! Don't kill me! *mentally smacks himself for talking to a machine*

up

Harry: *he falls asleep as well*

*THE NEXT DAY*

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Harry: *jolts awake from this, and quickly stumbles out of bed (practically falling out) in order to get his boots on. He finds that he has woken up with mechanical arm back*

Claire: !!??! *nearly falls out of bed as well, putting her shoes on and grabbing her glasses. she grabs the endless-bag and attaches it to her belt, and dashes out the door, waiting for Harry outside*

Harry: *runs out, and to the portal with Claire*

Everyone: *there*

Voice: TELEPORTER ACTIVATED. PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

*they do*

*the fighting begins*

Mikenno: *seems to be staying away from the Deriviti side of the battlefield*

Claire: *glares in the white dragon's direction before turning to shoot a bolt through an Origini's head*

Harry: *hates the dragon just as well - that was the bastard who killed him - he was the one responsible! He bashes in an incoming heartless, not really thinking at the moment*

Todd: *he kills things on that battle field - not a single emotion showed on his face*

Claire: *almost wishes the dragon WOULD try to attack them, just so she could show it what she thought of it. she kills a line of heartless in one shot*

Key: *glances at Todd out of the corner of her eye whenever she can. she still didn't approve of Jacob's methods, but there was nothing she could do. she keeps fighting*

Harry: *he tries to kill as many Origini as possible - he was so very sick of the Between World. He was sick of all the fighting, all the killing, all for the creators' "fun". He wanted to go home - even the apocalypse was better than this! He wanted to go home, reach the Safe Zone, and just be with Claire*

Vincent Gazsky: *suddenly crashes down in front of them*

Harry: !!!???!!!??? *he immediately raises his bat at his father in a fit of fear and rage*

THE RACCOON: HEY. NO KILLING TEAMMATES. *POOFGONE*

Harry: TEAMMATE?? D8<

Vincent: *gets up and brushes himself off* What kinda clusterfrack of'ah place is this...? *a fire axe poofs in his hands* Ohh ho ho... *turns his head to find Harry there* Boy?? What'er YOU doin' here??

Harry: *stares at his father, a heavy frown on his face* ...

Todd: *without emotions, he seems to transform into a ruthless killing machine - a terrifying display of merciless carnage as he tore into any enemy that dared go near him*

Claire: *notices this exchange, and frowns* ...Harry, who's this?

Key: *looks away from Todd, unable to watch. The Raccoon was right, he was losing it, all because of thiose drugs-- that does it. she was going to have a word with Jacob as soon as they got back.*

Vincent: I'm his FATHER - but what does that make YOU? Harry, did'joo make wunna them LADY FRIENDS without me finding out? YOU HIDING SECRETS FROM ME, BOY??

Harry: *flinches, constantly thinking to himself - he can't hurt me here, he can't hurt me here, I killed him before, he doesn't scare me - he DOESN'T SCARE ME*

Todd: *trips up a humanoid-type Origini, then leans down and breaks his neck. No expression*

Claire: *immediately dislikes him--she could tell Harry hated him (no surprise, if the man's always like this)* Harry, we have bigger things to worry about--

Alex: *runs past, weaponless, panicked, with an FFXIII-type Behemoth chasing after him* shootshootshootshoot--!!!

Behemoth: RWAAAAARRRR!!!

Harry: *is distracted by Alex* !!?? Maybe we should help him! D8

Vincent: You ain't running away from me, boy...

Harry: AARGH! THEN COME WITH US, ALRIGHT?? AND STOP CALLING ME "BOY" - I HAVE A NAME, YOU KNOW! *runs off to help Alex*

Vincent: *is taken aback by Harry's sudden display of... courage? Rebellion?

Todd: *notices Vincent, and the smallest hint of anger forms on his face. That man. THAT man. Wasn't that man dead?*

Key: *freezes when she sees the man she immediately recognizes as Harry's father. the only image of him that comes to mind is him threatening to kill them* D:>....

Claire: *runs off with Harry, loading a bolt into the crossbow* ALEX! Run it over here!!

Alex: !?! *veers towards them, nearly tripping and falling*

Behemoth: ??? *skids when ittries to turn, then continues chaging after Alex* RRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWRRR!!

Claire: *shoots at it, hitting it in the eye*

Behemoth: *stops and roars in pain*

Harry: *smacks at the monster*

Todd: ... we should help him.

Behemoth: *is smacked with the bat* RURGH!? *swipes at him*

Claire: *shoots at its arm*

Behemoth: SNAARRGH!! *misses Harry, and snarls at Claire*

Key: ...we definitely should. come on. *runs over towards them*

Alex: *kind of just stands there, rather useless without his weapon* .____.;;;

Harry: *smacks it again* D8<

Vincent: *watches, amused*

Todd: *runs at the monster, leaping onto its back. He digs his claws into its flesh*

Claire: *reloads* >:(

Key: *shoots at the beast* D:<

Behemoth: *IS NOT AMUSED. it snaps at Harry, its closest target, intending to at least grab his bat*

Claire: !!!

Harry: *he jerks away from the monster, but the bat is taken right out of his hands. He was now defenseless* AAH! D8>

Todd: *bites at the monster*

Vincent: *smirks*

Alex: !!

Behemoth: *spits out the chewed-on bat, away from Harry, and snarls at him*

Claire: D8 *shoots at it, and the bolt embeds itself in its neck*

Key: !!! *shoots at the beast, aiming for its head*

Behemoth: *snarls from the continued abuse--then, it growls and stands up on its back legs, reaching for the horn on its head*

Me: THE FIRST FOUR POSTS ARE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, THAT WASN'T ON PURPOSE.

Todd: *his grip tightens, trying to not fall off* :/

Harry: *backs away from the monster* D8 oh crap.

Vincent: Whazzit doin'?

Claire: *reloads, stepping a bit in front of Harry* I don't know, but it can't be good. D:<

Behemoth: *grabs its horn, and rips it out of its back with a deafening roar--almost as if it hurt--revealing a massive blade* RWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWRRR!!!

Key: ....well, CRAP. D8

Alex: O___________O;;;;;

Harry: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH EVERYTHING WE FIGHT?? D8>

Todd: *falls off* Urf! *quickly gets back up*

Vincent: Ahh... D8

Alex: This is a very bad situation. D8

Key: You THINK!? D-Do we have a PLAN? D8

Claire: ...it's either run or hit it until it dies. D8

Behemoth: RAAAAAARRRGH! *swings its blade downward, nearly slicing Key in two*

Key: AAAH!!! RUNNING SOUNDS REALLY GOOD RIGHT NOW!! D8> *turns and flees*

Alex: *not wanting to stay defenseless, he runs after her*

Claire: *grabs Harry's arm and runs* TODD, LET'S GO!!

Behemoth: *gives chase, but it is much slower on two legs than it was on four*

up

Harry: Right. XP *he uses his towel, rubbing it against his head to help his hair dry at least a little*

Claire: *smiles a bit. she was glad they could have a mundane conversation in the middle of all this...*

Harry: *pulls the towel off of him. It appeared his hair was naturally spiky - it was already returning to form* So... what now?

Claire: ... I don't know. Sleep, I guess? Not much else to do.

Harry: *he grins at her* I like that plan.

Claire: *grins back* Then why are we still sitting here? *climbs into bed*

Harry: :) *climbs into bed with her, instantly putting his arm around her*

Claire: *snuggles into him, burying her face in his shoulder* <3

Harry: *he rubs her back, kissing her neck* ... long day, huh?

Claire: mhmm... *sighs* i'm just glad that's over...

Harry: ... I-I'm sorry again... for dying on you like that... you must've felt awful...

Claire: You don't have to apologize, it's not like you had a choice... but... it hurt when you died. It physically hurt, Harry. *starts tearing up a bit, recalling the terrible feeling* It was like someone had ripped something out of me... I-I don't know how, or why, but.... It was painful...

Harry: Oh god... m... maybe it was because of the creators... maybe they did something to you...? *he then hugs her tightly with his one arm. Thinking. What caused that?* Claire... i-if it helps, I'm definitely not going to die again anytime soon... I promise.

Claire: ... *nods, sniffling a bit* okay. okay... I'll... I'll stay alive for you too. I-I don't want you to feel the same way I felt... *wraps her arms around his middle ad hugs him tightly* I love you, Harry... so much...

Harry: *still hugging her* I second that emotion. You... you're the best thing that's ever happened to me... I've never felt this happy before, Claire - not even with Todd, or Key...

Claire: I'm... glad you feel that way. You make me happy too. *snuggles into him a bit more* I won't lose you again.

Harry: *snuggles into her* ... And I'll make sure never to lose you... *he closes his eyes, completely relaxed*

Claire: *closes her eyes, and soon falls asleep there with Harry*

up

Harry: *shakes his head* No. This is my second death, now. The first time was because we were being punished for not doing anything.

Claire: *looks up, surprised* Th-They killed you TWICE? D:> ...Who else has died already?

Harry: Key and Todd. You and Altodd are the only safe ones in our group. Be very careful.

Claire: ... *nods* Don't worry. I will.

Harry: *smiles softly at this* I hope you are.

*they enter Claire's room - Harry was all too willing to stay with her*

Harry: Right... I really need to shower. D:

Claire: I understand. ^^; Go right ahead, I'm not going anywhere. :P

Harry: Thank you. ^^; *goes into the bathroom and showers, trying to scrub every single detail of gore off of his body - it was disgusting. It was disturbing. Even more so, since it was his OWN insides he was washing off*

Claire: *sits on the edge of the bed. she realizes with a start that her clothes were stained with blood from when Harry collapsed on her--her arms were too. she reaches up to her face, and finds blood there as well. she shudders in disgust, and stands up, looking around for a spare set of clothes*

Harry: *after thirty minutes in the shower, Harry comes out clean and wet and dressed, the towel wrapped around his shoulders* your turn.

Claire: Yes, Thank you. D: *stands up and takes her clothes with her to the bathroom, and proceeds to shower*

Harry: *waits for her*, sitting down on the bed. It was so strange to be human again, after just getting used to being a seven foot tall monster*

Claire: *takes about fifteen minutes to get all the gore off herself (she wasn't nearly as bad as Harry,) afterward, she dresses and dries her hair off as best as she can before coming out of the bathroom* Okay, I'm clean. XP *notices how Harry's hair is completely flat against his face, and laughs a bit, finding it somewhat amusing. sits next to him, and brushes a strand of it out of his face* Never seen your hair stay flat, either. =^^=

Harry: Mmf. I don't like it when it's wet. I always end up looking like a cross between an emo kid and a boy-band member. XC

Claire: *starts laughing at the analogy, putting a hand over her mouth* That's one way to put it. XD

Harry: Ahhhffgh. There, see? Exactly why I hate it.

Claire: Oh, it'll be fiiine. It'd dry faster if you used a towel. XP

up

Jacob: *perks his ears up for Harry's response, trying to find ANYTHING off with it when he says something*

Harry: *he blinks slowly, looking up at Claire, still very tired from his rebirth* H... hey... Claire... I was hoping you wouldn't cry for me... but... but you did anyway... *he gives her an apologetic smile* sorry I hurt you so much... d... do you know what happened?

Jacob: *flatly* You died.

Harry: ???

Claire: *smiles back, holding back tears of joy for Harry's sake* You did die, Harry... The creators decided to bring you back. <:)

Key: *watches the exchange, a bit of longing in her eyes. she remembers when her and Todd were like that--only worried about each other, not really having to deal with anything else--where had that gone? had she deserved to have that taken away from her? she thinks back to her punishment, and the remains of her wings still attached to her back... she definitely deserved it* ...

Harry: And they didn't just bring me back as a beast? That was awfully generous of them... *he puts his hand on her cheek - the same cheek he had placed his hand on before everything went dark for him*

Todd: *to Harry Harry and Claire* So are you guys... like... a couple, or something?

Jacob: Todd, please just relax and be quiet.

Claire: *puts her own hand over his, as she had before he died. it was an odd case of deja-vu, but she was just glad he was there* ...They cured you, too. You're completely human.

Key: ...

Harry: *his eyebrows jump in disbelief (though he never removes his hand from Claire's cheek)* Wh-what? Why??

THE RACCOON: TIS YOUR REWARD. *POOFGONE*

Harry: Ah... okay. :/

Todd: ...

Jacob: *works on Todd*

Claire: ...I didn't know you had green eyes.

Key: *now feels like an intruder--she leaves the med room, going straight back to her room. for a moment, she considers going to see Altodd, but quickly pushes the thought away*

Harry: *he was now staring into her eyes* I... uh... yeah... I do.

Jacob: ... *he wants to leave the two of them alone, but he HAD to work on Todd*

Todd: ...

Claire: *slides his hand off her cheek, (though she doesn't let go of it) and takes her glasses off, leaning a bit closer to have a better look* ....They're stunning... I've never seen bright green eyes like that...

Harry: ... thank you. No one's really said that to me before...

Jacob: *works on Todd*

Todd: ...

Claire: Maybe they just weren't looking close enough. *gives him a warm smile--she really meant it*

Harry: *he smiles back at her. Claire was everything to him. He was so glad to be back - to be HUMAN - to be WITH CLAIRE again... it was all wonderful, so very wonderful. He sat up in the bed* Jacob? Can I leave?

Jacob: Put some pants on, first.

Harry: Whah...? *he then realizes how very naked he is under the safety of the bed sheets, and he turns red from embarrassment* O////O

Todd: *laughs a little at his expression*

Claire: *puts a hand over her mouth to contain her laughter, turning a bit red herself, and puts her glasses back on* Don't worry, Key brought you some clothes. *grabs them off the bed Key had put them down on, and gives them to Harry*

Harry: Erm... thanks. ._.; *he quickly puts some underwear and pants on underneath the sheets, then gets out of the bed to put his shirt on* I've got a lot of CRAP on me... where did this even come fro - ? *then he spots his former body. A shiver runs up his spine*

Jacob: ...

Todd: ? :/

Claire: *slides her hand onto his, intertwining their fingers a giving him a reassuring squeeze. that was over and done with--no matter how frightening that moment had been, it was in the past, and they needed to move forward* ...

Harry: *squeezes Claire's hand just as tightly. There he was. Out on the bed, stiff as a board. He shut his eyes tight, trying to block out the image. It was done. It was over. He couldn't question it. This was the Between World... though... that didn't make it any less disturbing...* ... we should... we should leave...

Jacob: Good plan.

Todd: But why...? What's wrong...?

Jacob: I told you to be quiet.

Claire: ... *nods* You need to get cleaned up. *tugs him out of the med room, towards her room* ....

Harry: ... yeesh... I can't believe that all happened... that whole DYING thing...

Claire: I didn't believe it either... what were the creators trying to prove by killing you...?

Harry: ... that they can kill anyone, perhaps. They can kill anyone, and we can't do anything about it... *he looks directly into her eyes* No matter how much we beg them not to.

Claire: *looks back into his for a moment, then looks down* ...so there's no reasoning with them...?

up

Jacob: ... Fine, then, Claire. Fine.

Todd: H-hey... *he sniffles* ... he's human...! I mean... it's hard to tell 'cuz of all the blood, but... look!

Altodd: ! He's right - his skin's normal...

Harry: *unconscious*

Key: *is painfully reminded of HER reward when she was brought back to life... she sincerely hopes he doesn't lose it* ...

Claire: ! *hadn't noticed it before, but they were right--his skin color had returned to normal. it was only THEN that she registers that Harry was covered in blood-- and no, so was she* ...can someone help me get him on a bed, please?

Todd: Y... yes. I will. *he helps Claire place Harry in the bed next to his dead "cocoon" body* Man. Two things he seriously needs right now - clothes, and a shower.

Altodd: ...

Jacob: ...

Harry: *still unconscious*

Claire: ...I'll go get him some--

Key: No, I'll do it. I know where his stuff is. *rushes out of the room, feeling uncomfortable with both Todd and Altodd there*

Claire: ...

Todd and Altodd: *eye each other angrily*

Jacob: ... *he checks Harry over for any problems, such as with his pulse, and how well he was breathing - just in case something went wrong* ... he's completely fine - save for a few cuts he got from bursting out of... er... himself.

Harry: *...*

Claire: That's good to hear...

Key: *comes back a few moments later with a small stack of clothes* ...how're we gonna clean him up...?

Jacob: If he ever wakes up, he can clean HIMSELF up.

Todd: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

Jacob: Todd?

Todd: HOW MANY TIMES ARE THEY GOING TO KILL US?? HOW MANY TIMES DO THEY HAVE TO frack WITH US LIKE THAT??

Jacob: Oh, you need to be strapped down again - THAT'S what I was forgetting.

Todd: ARE WE JUST GOING TO BRUSH THIS OFF LIKE IT'S NOTHING?? ARE WE JUST GONNA - ngh!

Jacob: *had stabbed him with a syringe full of a clear fluid*

Todd: ... everything feels so good now... ~ Hahaa... Harry's alive again...

Jacob: *leads Todd over to his bed, and straps him down*

Harry: *miraculously hasn't woken up from Todd's outburst*

Altodd: o_o;

Claire: o__o;;

Key: !?! ... What did you DO to him?! What did you inject him with?? D:<

Jacob: Okay, in truth, I injected him very an illegal substance - illegal on MOBIUS, anyway... it's temporarily shut down his amygdala. Now he's ultra-mellow, and stuff. No fear. No anger. No NOTHING. Of course, it can also muck with the long-term memory... so he's missing that as well.

Altodd: D8<

Todd: *smiles dreamily in the bed*

Key: But-- Why would you DO that to him?! What if it permanently damages him or something?!?! D8<

Claire: ...

Jacob: I've been doing this with him for a WHILE now, and he's FINE - *under his breath* save for some side effects, but nothing permanent...

Todd: *very dazed*

Altodd: ... *he leaves, snorting*

Harry: *...*

Key: Not permanent YET!! What if it messes him up?! What if something happens to him, and you can't fix it??

Claire: Key--

Key: *snaps at her* This doesn't concern you, Claire! *looks back at Jacob* If something happens to him...

Jacob: Key, the only reason why that stuff is illegal is because of what could happen if it were taken in MUCH HIGHER doses. Then, whoops, permanent memory loss and lack of negative emotion - but I don't DO that, and there's not a whole lot of options for calming him down without knocking him out! I'm trying to FIX him, Key! FIX HIM!

Todd: Who're you people...?

Harry: *...*

Key: .... *looks at Todd* ...he doesn't even know who we are... How long does it take to wear off...?

Claire: ...

Jacob: It's pretty powerful - it lasts for about twelve to fourteen hours, and then AFTERWARDS the user of the drug is left emotionless for a few MORE hours.

Todd: No... really... who're you...?

Jacob: I'm Dr. Jacob, and this is Key.

Todd; Oh, it's so pleasant to meet you...

Jacob: The pleasure is ours. *to Key* See, there's NOTHING wrong with this, because now he's not trying to hurt ANYONE, and he'll keep still for me to look at him.

Harry: *...*

Key: That's like saying that stuffing someone full of heroin is okay because it makes them feel HAPPY. This isn't OKAY, Jacob. D:< *is rather upset--here was the reason Todd had been ignoring and denying her for so long.

Claire: ...

Jacob: Good lord, Key - this isn't anything LIKE heroin! And I'm giving him safe doses! Once I can fix him, he'll be FINE - I won't GIVE HIM any of it anymore! He'll be DONE with zenifermin! Done!

Todd: *smiles blissfully* It's good to complete things... then you'll achieve so much.

Harry: *...*

Key: *pinches the bridge of her nose--Todd's ramblings weren't helping her at all. she takes a deep breath* I really hope you know what you're doing, Jacob. I won't be the only one coming after you if something happens to him.

Claire: ...

Jacob: ... I know, Key. I promise - NOTHING will happen to him.

Todd: mmm... how white everything is...

Harry: *waking up* ...?

Claire: !! *turns around to look at Harry* ah! :D

Key: ? *looks over at them, and puts the stack of clothes she was still holding on an empty bed* Is he getting up??

Claire: yeah! Harry, can you hear me? D:>

up

Harry: *he wasn't panicking. He wasn't distressed in the least. He was PEACEFUL. He was still smiling at Claire when he weakly lifted his furry hand up to put against Claire's cheek. He wished he could tell her what he was thinking. That everything would be alright. Everything would turn out fine in the end, and that she didn't have to worry. He couldn't even register that he was on the ground - what was HAPPENING to him. He was... he was purring*

Todd: *had his hand tightly cupped over his mouth as tears silently descended down his face*

meanwhile

Jacob: D8 !!! *runs out with supplies*

Claire: *puts a hand over his as tears roll down her face. his purring brought back an image of the night before, when everything was (almost) perfect. when it seemed like nothing, not even turning into a beast would keep them apart. she breaks down into quiet sobs, shaking her head. this couldn't be happening... but it was* I love you, Harry... p-please don't... please... please...

Key: *runs out with Jacob, and can only stare at the scene before her. she feels the tears coming on-- she doesn't move any closer--only watches* ...

Jacob: *whispers to Key* I-I can't do anything... it's too late for him...

Harry: *he smiles a bit more at her when he finds that his body had turned numb, and all his strength disappears. His hand slid off her face, crashing to the ground. Don't cry for me he thought it's terrible for you to look so sad. And then he was gone. The last thing he saw was her face. But now, it was over, and he was no longer breathing*

Todd: *he held his breath, silently staring at the body in horror*

Key: *brings her hands up to her mouth, staring in a shocked silence*

Claire: no... no, no, no... *it was as if she had physically felt it when he faded away. there was a gaping hole left inside of her, and it felt empty, barren, like it could never be filled, ever, by anyone else. she stares blankly at him, tears continuing to roll down her cheeks. he was gone. he was gone, and she couldn't do anything about it. it was over before it could barely begin--and it feels like it might kill her*

Jacob: ... we need to somehow get the body to my medical room... right now, it's blocking the hallway...

Eclipse: *had noticed all this, and comes running* I'm assuming you need help? D8

Jacob: Can you list him...?

Eclipse: I can list a full-grown elephant.

Jacob: ... alright.

Eclipse: *goes into his Condemned form, and picks Harry up* Ghrnff...!

Jacob: Bring him to my room.

C. Eclipse: *does so*

Todd: ... *follows, completely distressed by this*

IN THE ROOM

C. Eclipse: *places Harry's body on an empty bed* Geez... I can't believe Mikenno would just... DO this... *he shakes his head, then leaves*

Harry: *dead*

Key: *follows after Todd, standing by him* ...

Claire: *it takes her a few moments to register that everyone else had moved. she slowly stands up, following them into the room, staring blankly at the floor as she did so. she felt empty, like someone had torn a vital part of her out and neglected to replace it. she stands by the bed they had put Harry in, tears still flowing freely* .....

Jacob: ...

Todd: No, no, no, NO... he can't be dead...! He CAN'T be!

Altodd: *comes in for Jacob to check up on his wounds* ... uh... what's with the big monster thing?

Todd: *angrily spits out his answer at Altodd* That's HARRY, you inconsiderate piece of -

Altodd: HARRY?? D8>

Harry: *dead*

Key: *glances at Altodd, and quickly glances away* ...The R-Raccoon turned him into a monster... and then they killed him.

Claire: ... *raises a hand, and rests it on Harry's arm, rubbing it with her thumb. he can't be gone. he can't. he... he WAS gone. she knew, but she didn't want to admit it. she breaks down into quiet sobs again, pleading under her breath--please bring him back... please...!*

Altodd: N-No... he can't... I mean...!

Todd: *nods sadly, then cries into his hand*

Altodd: *pats him on the shoulder, crying as well*

Jacob: ...

Harry: *he's dead, but... not. There's something wrong with the body - something no one can see*

Key: *puts her arms around Todd--pointedly ignoring Altodd's presence, or at least trying to. she rests her head on his shoulder, crying quietly*

Claire: ...! *looks up. something was wrong, something was... different. she looks at the body. something was... alive. her eyes widen at the thought--could Harry be ALIVE?!* ...!!!

Harry: *within the beast's body, he is reborn. He doesn't know where he is - it's dark. It's wet. It's sticky. It smelled of blood. He needed to get out - NOW*

Altodd: *looks away from Key, disappointment in his eyes*

Todd: *rests his head on Key's, sobbing*

Jacob: ...

Harry: *suddenly rips out of the dead body, human, and covered in the body's insides. He wasn't even really conscious - his body and instinct did this for him, not his shut down mind. He had ripped out screaming, causing everyone else in the room to scream, then he stumbles out of the body, onto the white ground, staining it with wet, dripping blood. His movements were like that of a zombie. Sluggish. Not all there. He blacks out, collapsing on Claire*

Todd: OH GOD - OH GH - OH GOD, OH frackING HELL!!

Jacob: What - WHAT JUST HAPPENED?? D8

Altodd: *stares in shock*

Claire: !! *catches him, and holds onto him tightly, eyes wide in shock. he was alive* he's ALIVE!! *she was overwhelmed by joy and relief, the empty feeling vanishing almost instantly*

Key: *clings to Todd in terror, gaping wide-eyed at the scene. she had seen many crazy things, but this definitely hit the top of her list* !!?!?

Todd: Oh my god...

Altodd: *still silent*

Jacob: ... Claire... how do we even know if he's really Harry...? We just saw Harry BLEED OUT - a - a body could never just magically pop out of another body - especially if it's the SAME MAN - !! That - that's not Harry. That's not Harry until I prove that's Harry. I'm going to run some tests on him.

Harry: *still unconscious in Claire's arms*

Clare: *doesn't really glare at Jacob (she's far too relieved to be angry right now) but shoots him a pointed look* Since when have the creators cared what was impossible or not? This is Harry, I just know it!

Key: *watches, still very much in shock*

Jacob: *sadly* ... Claire... what if you're wrong?

Altodd and Todd: *very silent*

Harry: *unconscious*

Key: *also silent*

Claire: ...I'm not.
