"It's fuckin obvious. He even tried to cheer you up by basically saying his power is an terminal disease. You know me TK, I'm a realist for jeebus's sake!" Emir said putting his hand on his forehead. "Probably not. It's was all a sercet, it'll be great that Samantha would know...Though it is unlikely."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 19:41

TK looked to the ground. "He knows I'm with Videor..."

She shook her head and looked back at Emir, "You're right, Samantha might not know after all...we won't know until we get to France."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 19:43

"Uh-huh....though I got something else in my mind right now...It's quite important." Emir said, sitting on the bed, looking at the ground.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 19:46

TK plopped down next to him with raised eyebrows and asked, "Hmm? Whats on your mind?"

I'll have to ask Udo this later....Emir will never lie to me...but even so....why me of all people?

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 19:51

"Well, it's about me....Heh...It's not me talking about myself, but it's seem to be a problem to me." Emir said. "I...I feel lonely, like a desperate freshman. I just want a girlfriend or something.....I know, I'm being bitchy right now but this saddens me so...I already asked Gab though it's not really reassuring." He sighed, getting out his dog tags out of his shirt and playing with them. "Half the girlfriends I got during the years either got brutally murdered from my KGB connections or from my past. It's haunting to be lonely to me. I've been alone for so long..." He crossed his arms, as if to cradle himself.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 19:53

TK held him warmly. "Maybe when we get to France you'll get to meet someone nice...after all, we can't just leave right away right?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 19:57

"Hopefully....." Emir said, letting TK hug him. "Sorry for doing this, It's not really me to do this stuff you know...."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 19:59

TK nodded, "Don't worry about it, I'm here for you Emir. What bothers you bothers me." She squeezed him once before letting go of him.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 20:10

Emir smirked weakly.

"I wonder if Nicole would get someone too..." He asked, chukcling.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 20:48

TK chuckled as well, "She might. Thinking on that, I'm still shocked about Udo..." she trailed off. "Alevon got over me, he might get over me you think?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 20:50

"Alevon got over you cause he actually had you. Remember that." Emir replied. "This is quite different: You already have Videor, and no one wants a love triangle unless you're just a pimp like that."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 20:52

TK shook her head, "Anyway...I should probably check on Videor. I left him asleep..."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 20:54

Udo wandered the cityscape for a time as he rolled over what he might say through his head. He was certain of nothing other than it would be painful. He gave up in his search for a woodland escape and settled on a scarely traveled plaza over looking some lower tiers of commercial districts. He stood at the overlook and dialed the number; he still remembered it by heart.
It's ringing.

"Schumacher"

"Es ist mich."
(It is me.)

"..."

"Es tut mir leid."
(I'm sorry.)

"Das ist alles das kann man sagen? 'Es tut mir leid'?"
(That is all you can say? 'I'm sorry'?)

"Ich..."

"Wo bist du?"
(Where are you?)

"Nein. Ich werde nicht sagen"
(No. I will not tell you.)

"Was werden Sie sagen, junge?"
(What are you saying, boy?)

Udo swallowed the lump in his throat as his chest felt as if it were suddenly too small. His other hand was shaking, causing his cane to lightly tap the ground.

"Im beendet mit ihnen."
(I'm finished with you.)

"Udo!"

Tears were already welling in Udo's eyes. "Sie gehört mir. Ich habe sie und ICH nicht benötigen sie mehr. Ich brauche sie mehr."
(You heard me. I was using you and I don't need you anymore! I don't need you anymore.)

"Good-bye." He said as he shut his phone against his leg. He looked at the phone trembling in his hand through blurry vision; he dropped it. As he bent down to pick it up, he succumb to his frustration, and shame, and anger. As he knealed he put all his strength into a thunderous punch against the ground. He pushed against the rock upon the impact with both his mind and flared rage; it split the platform beneath him causing it to crumble and break off of the upper teir. Udo remained statuesque in his knealed pose and the broken slab he knealed one slid and crumbled down the angled slope. Udo could keep the fall from killing him; all it would take was a little concentration, but at the moment he didn't care. He didn't move from his pose an inch, as the crumbling cascade of rolling stone and split cement swallowed him in a downhill tidal wave.

"He's probably awake." Emir said, standing up and patting TK's hair. "Well I'll be hangin' in the main area if you want to talk." After that he walked out of the room.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 20:57

Alevon looks at his watch again and walks towards TK's room, but stops, looking around for TK before knocking on her door

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 21:01

TK nodded and teleported to her room. Once she saw Videor wasn't there she ran frantically around the base, not noticing Alevon, calling out Videor's name. "Videor?" She called as she ran, but heard no reply. Before anyone said anything to TK, she teleported out of the base and ran around town.

Videor....please tell me you're shopping or something, Videor, VIDEOR!

TK flipped in mid-air and teleported to a building. She caught her breath and started jumping buildings, taking in the sceneries as she jumped, the wind aiding her in both her jumps and her landings. The pair of nails clattered as she rain.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 21:04

Alevon's eyes go wide at the sudden burst of insanity. He puts his finger to the mic and says something.

He waits for a moment before shrugging and wandering back to the wall, leaning against it

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 21:08

Feel good about what you just did? Udo flinched as he tried to breath. The pain was intense. No, definitly doesn't feel good.
He pushed the rock and rubble off of him and looked up at where he had began. Through a cloud of dust, Udo could see a bite of the overlook missing; its remains now surrounded Udo. He pulled him self from the piles and let himself rest on the ground next to it. He let out a sigh as he looked to the sky.

A shadow passes quicly overhead as it dissapears over a rooftop.
What was that!?

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 21:36

TK tripped but caught her balance as she teleported from the city to the forest where she and Ariel had talked. TK climbed in an instant up a tree and sat still, clutching her head in her hands. "Stay calm...stay calm..." she said as she just sat there.

After a moment she thought back on a place she had passed that caught her eye. "There was rubble...maybe Videor was caught in that?"

TK teleported back to the rubble she saw and hesitated. Once her vision cleared, she noticed it was Udo.

Udo?

TK clumsily made her way to him and asked, "What the hell are you doing?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 22:06

Udo looked up as he layed on the ground. "Long story. What are you doing here? Is everything alright?"
Udo stood up, as he glanced around for his cane; it must be in the rubble.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 20 Dec 2010 - 22:20

TK snapped her fingers, causing a miniature tornado to engulf her though she didn't appear to be in danger. TK's chain unwrapped itself from around her, hugged at her tornado and spun at an incredible rate. TK pointed at Udo and both nails covered in wind shot at him like vipers attacking its prey, barely missing his body as each nail rammed into the rubble only inches from his body. It was only seconds before TK tore through the debris and the wind subsided. The chain dropped to the ground.

TK sighed and picked up the cane that she made sure she didn't destroy in the process from taking in every detail where her nails struck. She bent down to Udo and handed him the cane. "I go out sometimes...I'm not one who likes to stay in one place for a while..." she said, not looking at him.

After a moment she looked up at Udo, "Videor...is gone...I don't want to think he's missing but he isn't in the base...and I don't know where he is nor do I have a way of contacting him. Normally he'd reply back to me telepathically but he didn't this time. I can only send telepathic pings to the Elementals, not to any of you..."

TK pulled at the chain, re-wrapping it around her waist till both nails were at either side of her. TK studied his face and looked to the ground.

Emir....are you sure he's taking such an interest in me? No...I shouldn't think this now....maybe if I get him to hate me he'll...no I....no...

"I should be the one to ask you if you're alright." TK looked at the mess and inferred that Udo wasn't attacked. She then met Udo's gaze, "Don't worry about owing me anything Udo. Also...you shouldn't get so close to me..."

I don't want to hurt you...if you've taken interest in me...I don't want to hurt you like that...

TK pulled the nail from her right hip and placed it in her mouth. She looked away from Udo and bit down on the nail, causing a loud clank due to the force of her teeth from how hard she bit it. Anyone normal would have their teeth broken from that, but it was soothing to TK.

TK and Udo would then hear a voice from the walls as TK instantly recognized who it was,"Stop being so fucking loud! I have a big enough headache as it is..." It was Mike. His head slowly appeared from the ceiling as he looked down at TK, saying,"Hey, quick question, does this belong to you?" At this, Videor hung by his foot from the ceiling, pale as death as he hung there unconscious,"He's been mumbling your name in pain ever since I caught this ass..."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Tue 21 Dec 2010 - 12:57

Emir decided to go to his room, leaving Nicole to Raine and Gabrielle.

"Gonna bet TK is overreacting on Udo, The poor girl..." Emir muttered to himself, sitting in the room's lounge chair, looking at the ceiling.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Tue 21 Dec 2010 - 13:02

TK gasped, "Mike, be more damn careful!" She held her arms out to Videor, "He's my boyfriend Mike, yes he belongs to me. And while you're here, what the hell is going on with Tim? And where the hell is Kate?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Tue 21 Dec 2010 - 13:32

Videor's missing!? This can't be good.

Udo aimed a contemplative gaze at the ground; considering when or why he might leave without word. He looked at TK, re-assuring this belief that he wouldn't have, before returning his eyes to the ground. He rolled a sore shoulder before lifting his head to speak; she beat him to the punch.

Don't get to close to you?.. Then we have a common goal; I have no intention of seeking what I was never meant to have. I was born alone; and I intend to die that way.
His eyes moved to her. Such a short-time, yet she felt more familiar to him than himself.
How might my life have differed, had I met you sooner?

Udo looked at TK with an arched eyebrow as he forced a smile. He wasn't going to argue or even refute her request. She already knew, he would do what he wanted anyways. The lack of response was enough to say, he acknowledged her point of view. He was about to suggest they search for Videor, when a stranger, or at least stranger to Udo, appeared with an unconsious Videor.
Well, we found him.

His condition was a shock, but Udo remained still yet cautious, gauging TK's actions as instruction for his own.
