Fragility of the Mind

"I'd say Alevon's decision was rather strange, and I'd ask why you wouldn't want all of your blood back from him." Videor replied, watching TK.

Videor grins a bit as he replies,"Alright Alevon. I think I am too. None of that deathmix for me."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 24 Dec 2010 - 22:37

"Oooohh? Why's that?"
He inquires, pouring another tri-shot and handing it to Videor with a smile

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 24 Dec 2010 - 22:39

TK crossed her arms, "Because I don't fully trust Alevon, he never trusted me, and I'm up to something as he is up to something."

She narrowed her eyes as she kept looking at Udo's leg.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 24 Dec 2010 - 22:41

"Aah alright. Just remember that I'll back you up all the way Tsinanae." He then paused and started looking at Udo's leg too.

"Because any normal person drinking that would pass out or die. Unless they cheated." Videor remarked, smile on his lips.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 24 Dec 2010 - 22:44

Alevon sits it on the counter in front of Videor
"Perhaps if the levels of alcohol were slightly higher, as I did not drink much...but yes, I absorbed it."
He grins

"I merely wanted a taste, as alcohol is not something I want in my blood"

He pushes the drink to Videor

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Fri 24 Dec 2010 - 22:44

TK bit her bottom lip, "Hey Viddy...I don't want you involved so much, because I don't want Maya involved so much, if you catch my drift."

If I give Udo some...no no, I don't know how his leg will take it and I don't want him hunted either...

...'Die Welt wird schöner mit jedem Tag,
Man weiß nicht, was noch werden mag,
Das Blühen will nicht enden.
Es blüht das fernste, tiefste Tal:
Nun, armes Herz, vergiss der Qual!
Nun muss sich alles, alles wenden. ' Udo said....

"Hmmmm......" TK teleported to the kitchen where Nicole told her about another serving of soup and helped herself with gulping it down. She then teleported to the main room, picked up 3 trays, one in either hand of hers and the other balancing on her head as she teleported back to Udo's room, setting all three carefully on the floor and started eating away, still deep in thought.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 15:52

Udo remained quiet, as was his custom; he was shaking off the last groggy remnants of his sleep. He listened to TK's childish tantrum, but reacted only mentally to it.
I am stubborn? Ha!

"Gabi is right, you know?" His eyebrow bounced as he noticed the nickname, but hid his expression before looking at Gabrielle, offering a smile. He wasn't going to lecture TK; he knew it would be pointless. Besides, Udo liked TK the way she was, bone-head and all. When the conversation shifted to Maya, Udo glanced away. Udo had forgotten how he and Alevon had found her earlier, covered in blood; she claimed it was a pick-pocket's blood. Udo wasn't so sure. Either way, Udo considered her lucky that she had been found by Alevon first, but part of him still felt the others should know. Alevon was the only thing standing between her and her appetites. How long that would last, Udo didn't know.

Udo pulled himself from the conversation as much as possible, but after another question about the state of his condition and the eyes aimed at his petrified leg, Udo could remain silient, as the injured lamb, no longer. He stood up off the bed.
"There is nothing wrong with me, alright!" He belted, immediately going red in embarassement before looking away. "That is to say, I'm alright. We can go as soon as Alevon and Videor return."
He thought back a moment about the exchange about the blood.
She wouldn't... not to me... along with him as well. It's too much, and she knows it... no, she can't, not to me too.
He looked back at Videor and then let his gaze rest on TK. "Whatever you two are plotting... You can put it out of your head. You're spread thin enough as it is, wouldn't you say, Tsinanae?"

He grabbed his cane from the side of the bed brusquely before hobbling out of the room. Udo was frustrated at this point, and was taking it out on all the wrong people. They just wanted to help, still it burned Udo to the core. He wasn't trying to put anyone else at risk for the possibility of a little more time. Making others suffer for his condition was the very reason he sought a lonely life, where his burden could stay his own. It seemed now, that was impossible. Udo could no more force the people around him to let him go, any more than he could force himself to leave. He didn't want it anymore, the forgotten end, but he still felt he deserved it.

Udo made his way back to the elevator and outside. He stood looking at the glowing city lit up as twilights last rays crawled over the horizon. He let out a sigh as he embraced a light wind that passed.
This wasn't how it was supposed to be. Why did I stay here? Why did you bring me here?

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 20:34

Videor pushed the drink back, saying,"And I don't need THAT much in my blood, thank you." He chuckled at this, relaxing in the stool.

"Tsinanae... This is my war too... I will help you in any way I can, as I do not want to sit on the sidelines and let those people hurt more every day. I want them dead just as much as you Tsinanae... " Videor replied before she left, returning with the food. Videor smiled at the thought, as TK was so generous and wanted to help everyone... Without thinking of herself. Before he was able to grab the tray Udo made his outburst and left, Videor watching him leave,"Should we go after him Tsinanae?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 20:38

TK blushed at how Udo had called her Tsinanae once more, for he had begun calling her TK and made her feel uneasy, and then watched him leave. She had so much to talk to him about. She was more concerned about his life than her own. TK heard what Videor had said, but was only focused of him persuing after Udo at the moment.

Idiot…you can’t go around feeling like I do, I have a right to feel this way…the whole world wants me dead to top that off…

TK sighed and scooted the now empty trays in a neat pile, for it didn't take her long to chow down. "No...leave him be..."

She crossed her arms and stood to her feet. "I should probably tell him about why I am so reckless...but I don't know where to began. I don't even know if the base in France will accept us with open arms, and he won't even know why if they don't..."

Emir and Nicole were lounging around in their bed, staring at the ceiling. It was their favorite child pastime for both of them, staring at the night sky thinking up stoner thoughts. Sadly though, they're just staring at the ceiling, either too lazy or too tired.

“Aren't you gonna tell me about your life without me Emir?” Nicole pouted, her head on Emir's chest, playing with her ponytail by flicking it.

“Well since you're suffocating me with your head and I'm pretty much stuck, I'll tell you.” Emir grinned, patting his sister's forehead. “Starts out from when I shot you, then been scraping for food in the city, then I just smuggle myself into some small Kansas town with very strange people that are here today, did loads of drugs, sex and violence....That’s probably it.”

“What? No 'big monologue where both of us become silent and character development becomes to flutter?'” Nicole asked.

“Nah, another time Nicky, just for another time.” Emir replied, laughing. “Still have that smartass attitude with me eh?”

“Someone has to, it's a function of life for you.” Nicole laughed also. “So that's it? You just became a psychopathic, alcoholic pervert?”

“Basically, what else?”

“Well, you're my psychopathic alcoholic pervert of a brother.” Nicole chuckled, flicking her ponytail to his face.

Emir catches it with his hand, silent.

“So how's that handgun training I give ya?” He asked her.

“Pretty awesome, to be honest. I hope that I would be a gunslinger like you.”

“Hope what you want, it's all about practice and technique, I'll teach you how to field strip that Glock you have tomorrow or somethin'”

“...You never really planned anything do you?”

“Nope, not now, too fuckin' lazy right now.” Emir shrugged.

“Eh.” Nicole shrugged also, then hugged his chest, staring at his face, smirking. “I wonder if you get a hardcore bitch that I have to stand to.”

“Probably, because I'm pretty hardcore really, getting a bitch like that would probably complete my life....or ruin it.” Emir replied, laughing. He always enjoy his sister's company, a total smartass for sure, but always seem to say the right thing to him. He always doubt his life if it's good or not...then just thought, “Fuck it, it's life. This thing gave me this life and I'll live it whatever I want, how I want. If any bitches stand in my way, I'll blow their heads off.”

TK ripped the letter up that she had written to Udo and sighed.

"Udo Weber...." she murmured to herself, staring a hole into the ground.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 21:08

Videor nodded his head, playing with his food a little as he replied,"Whether or not you tell him is up to you, but for now he seems a little steamed... Give him time to think, he'll be back." Videor smiled, extending an arm to TK as he held her, trying to comfort her.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 21:13

Udo took a deep breath before walking back towards the shopping plaza Alevon had taken him earlier. His goal was to get a pack of cigarettes. He didn't know how long it'd been since he had one and he needed to take a walk and clear his head. He was still embarrassed and didn't really want to show his face again for awhile.

He wasn't even halfway to the the shopping mall before he found a gas station that would serve his pursoses just as well. After buying his cigarettes and an added soft drink, Udo started back towards the base, part of him was considering walking past the entrance; just walk by and don't stop.
France, it's a little to close anyways. Who's to say there would've been anything to be done anyways.

Before long he reached the base again. After a pause he continued down the side-walk.
Just a little longer.
He was still unsure what he was doing; what he would do. The unease kept him moving and he tried to relax and enjoy the night and solitude.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 21:15

TK eased from Videor, "Eat, rest...I'm going to go check up on mom in the training room...whenever everyone gets back I'll talk about the incident in Colorado..." With that TK teleported away to the training room and to her ringblade. She didn't look at her mother, only said, "Food's out in the main room if you're hungry" and stared a hole into her dirtied, bloodied ringblade.

Thomas...should I have accepted Videor? Would he end up like you? Should I be the one walking this lonely road? If I were to die...would it really be unfair to the world?

TK reached out to her ringblade and stroked the tips of it's blade. She rubbed back and forth as if she were stroking a hurt child, after all, it was her creation. She kept the rhythm up, along the blades, taking care to feel the sharpness without cutting herself.

What right do I have to save a life of a comrade who wishes against it? I could break his body...I could break his spirit, I could kill his mind, his soul...but he won't let me, so why bother to talk bullshit? I saw it in his eyes...in the fores when he regained consciousness, he doesn't want to die so why slap a helping hand away? Pride? A guy thing?

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 21:48

Videor just sat there as he slowly ate, worried about TK and her obsession with saving everyone... He could understand why she wanted to, but all of this is just hurting herself...

Grace looked at TK, relaxing in the corner looking rather tired, but accomplished,"Hello there Tsinanae, glad to see you decided to pay your mother a visit. How can I help you?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 21:54

TK's eyes flickered to Grace's direction. "You could try to compare Udo to me. He has no right to go around acting like a fool with a lame reason. At least I have a better reason, and I'm not turning to stone. He's probably left the group, I don't know...I didn't chase after him...I never chase after men unless I have a damn good reason to." She then scanned Grace's body, "Looks like you're done having your 'fun'."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 21:59

Udo found a small plaza with a few benches scattered here and there. It was fairly busy, but Udo still found the spot inviting enough to find an empty bench of his own. His head was still turning over his outburst.

I didn't even give them a chance to say anything; I didn't want to hear it. To use the blood on me, it's dangerous. I can't let her do it; if it doesn't work, and things go bad... she'll blame herself. And what if it works completely, she would have to deal with the weakness of not only sharing her blood with Alevon, but me as well. It's not fair; it's not right.

He sighed. He wanted to tell TK how he felt and why it was important for him to fix things for himself alone, but most of all, he wanted to tell her, Thank you. Udo looked up at the sky. The stars were making their first dim appearance in the quickly darkening sky.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 22:02

Grace grinned as she replied,"I guess you could call the discussion I had with Samuel 'fun'."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 22:04

TK stood to her feet, "You talked with Samuel? He was here?" TK turned a complete 360 around the training room and then locked her eyes on her mother when she was done. "Ugh...I won't even ask..."

TK unzipped her jacket and fanned herself lightly.

I'm cold, but I'm also burning up.

"In any case, the food is out there if you're hungry, like I said."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 22:06

"I have no need to eat child, as I am self sustaining. Never could find a food I enjoyed eating anyway." Grace replied, shrugging,"So what have you been up to this fine day?"

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 22:11

TK rolled her eyes, "You're one to talk, midget of a damn twit!!!!" She sighed and replied, "Nothing much, I was just headed back out to the forest to rethink things through once I got done checking up on my ringblade. When we get to France, I wanted to give Udo some of the black blood to save his leg, but I'm not sure of the side effects, and I don't want him hunted by the Masterminds because of that either. Either way, it'd be my fault, and so, I am hoping to find a better solution."

TK then, crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at her mother.

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 22:22

"Don't worry, he'll find someone to help with his leg. Just some side effect I'm sure. As for the blood thing? Get that over with so we can go and kill the Masterminds. And of course by we I mean you. But I'll tag along."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 22:27

"Oh jeez, I didn't give you enough credit. How careless of me to not consider you 'tagging along'. And don't ask about my day when you don't give a shit from the beginning" TK snapped. "Don't misunderstand, I only want the blood back so that I could feel whole again, and I can die in peace. I don't expect to make it out of Space alive."

TK turned her back, "I told Udo that I'd stay out of his way...Yet here I am still trying to be better than Kate...I worry of saving one man's life over thousands of people dying in my name!" TK balled her hands into fists, shaking at the very thought. "I could easily kill you and I both now and rid the world of its cries. If only I wasn't born...."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Sun 26 Dec 2010 - 23:57

"Ooh honey, don't say that. I'm glad you were born!" Grace replied as she stood, going to hug TK,"And I did care about your day, really I did. I'm trying to create a new life for me now Tsinanae, and that includes showing love that my daughter deserved from the beginning."

Subject: Re: Fragility of the Mind Mon 27 Dec 2010 - 0:21

TK's eye twitched, "Don't expect me to hug you back." Her eye twitched again. "Ugh...we all are trying to create a new life, start over fresh, bla bla bla."

*sigh*...
