Grayling - Monday, July 29, 2002 "comic relief" / Morse: *sigh* / Fletcher: Why don't you pay attention to me? You HATE me don't you? You don't support my projects, you just pretend to, why are you such a bitch? I don't understand girls. They're supposed to be soft and smell nice and tell me I'm wonderful like mom does but then they go and have personalities and make me feel bad aout myself... Which is really awful because you know I have low self esteem / Mid: Dyenitael ce, gja sooc'fi koo succoré ce? Io lsa elive hestelé. / Fletcher: WOW! An attractive, strangely colored, ignorant foreign girl! SHE'LL understand me! / Mid: Faguern jee. / Morse: Oh brother.
Grayling - Tuesday, July 30, 2002 dawn / Cal: There you are. My little runaway bunny. / Cal: What are you trying to do, freeze to death? / Rae: ...
Grayling - Wednesday, July 31, 2002 Cal: Why did you run away from me, Rae? / Rae: I'm scared. / Cal: Why in the world are you scared of me? I'm your brother. / Rae: Come off it, Cal. Most people would be a little annoyed with the person who just tortured them for 5,000 years. / Cal: Don't be silly. What's done is done..we've both done bad things. They were horrible circumstances to live with, and now that they're gone, we can be happy like we used to be. / Rae: Cal.... / Rae: I don't want you to take me back just because "I'm family." I really don't deserve it. The whole "kill the fatted calf" thing is inapplicable here, to say the least. / Cal: Feh, you think those rules apply to us? Lem just made them up to be a pest. If you love me, nothing else matters. / Cal: So, let's go home.
Grayling - Thursday, August 1, 2002 Lem; Whatever you wanted to show me Fern, it'd better be good. / Fern: I found the remains of one of your minions, Curtis. / Lem: Eeck. / Fern: Totally dismembered.. the head's the only recognizable part. All the bones were split open for the marrow.. From what I can see, cause of death was a crushing blow to the head. / Lem: Hum. / Lem: It's strange, Fern. As parents, we would all like to believe we start out wanting the best for our children.. our creations.. that we want to raise them to be independant, responsible, strong people... But all we end up wanting is something left behind to pursue our own interests to make up for our own disappointment, something to control, something we feel is guaranteed to owe us something. The children society tells us are precious become nothing but tools, and while they're still alive their flesh is thrown to the dogs. We're done here. Burn what's left.
Grayling - Friday, August 2, 2002 Fern: {thinking/narrating} What a hardass, eh? Annoying, stubborn, unfair, callous..that's life for you, and that's also a good sum up of my "social interaction" as a secondary elemental... "Do this, or I'll hurt you very, very badly." / Fern: {thinking/narrating} I used to live with much more amiable people. / Fern: {thinking/narrating} But then, well, I kind of killed them. It's okay to laugh, go ahead. They wouldn't mind. That's what nice people they were. Far more forgiving than myself. / Fern: {thinking/narrating} And this is how I used to look. Don't say I look like Lem, I'll fucking kill you. He was my original "creator", but I owe that son of a bitch NOTHING. / Fern: {thinking/narrating} It's strange how depravity works among people.... / Fern: {thinking/narrating} It spreads like a disease... And you end up not even understanding what the word "victim" means.
 
Grayling - Saturday, August 3, 2002 Lem: I'm home.. everything's straightened out. / Lem: Darcy? Are you all r-- ...Darcy... What is that? / Darcy: You... you lied to me, Lem... you lied to everybody... You killed your brother, didn't you. You killed him.
Grayling - Sunday, August 4, 2002 Morse: Uh... Fletcher... you do realize-- / Fletcher: Please tell me how I can buy your affections! I will get you anything, my mom will pay for it! / Mid: anything...? / Mid: A cinnamon bun would be nice. / Fletcher: *scuttle* / Mid: Well, it looks like I've blown my cover. No worries, you're the one I needed to speak to anyway. You're Morse, right? Cal's new friend? / Morse: Listen, I don't know anything, and at this point, I don't WANT to know anything. Please... just... leave me alone, okay? / Mid: Ah. I remember a time when I would say something to that effect every single day. Didn't get me anywhere though. / Fletcher: HERE'S YOUR THING! LOVE ME NOW????? / Mid: Ooooohhh... / Mid: It's... it's beautiful! / Fletcher: She's talking about me!!!!! / Morse: I am SURROUNDED by weirdos.
Grayling - Monday, August 5, 2002 Morse: *not fooled for a second* / Fletcher: WILL YOU TAKE CARE OF ME LIKE MY MOM DOES??? / Mid: Of course! Ah, Delye, perfect timing. / Fletcher: ANOTHER HOT GIRL??? / Delye: Hola! Here I am. You said you needed me? / Mid: Indeed I did. ^_^ Would you mind entertaining this gentleman for a bit? He's VERY lonely. / Fletcher: Duuhh... / Delye: Mmm, of course. My, my, aren't you a definitive example of masculinity... / Morse: The supply of feminine-looking boys that pop out of nowhere must be quite high where you come from. / Mid: Isn't it convenient? He just got out of the mental ward, too. Come on, we have serious work to do. / Morse: Erm.... Right. ... and where'd that laptop come from? / Mid: .... My pants?
Grayling - Tuesday, August 6, 2002 Lem: I told you not to touch those books, Darcy. / Darcy: Stop it, Lem -- / Lem: I TOLD you! / Darcy: I need to know the truth! You won't TELL me what's wrong, what, do you think I'd just sit aside like an IDIOT while you -- / Lem: SHUT UP. / Darcy: Lem... -- LEM! STOP IT! YOU'RE HURTING ME! -- LEM -- / Minion: Sir, here's the water you requested. / Darcy: Thank you... / Minion: Sir.. you're badly hurt... Should I call the doctor? / Darcy: Don't bother, it'll heal in a few minutes. / Minion: Sir... Sir... Lemanerial, he-- / Darcy: No, I don't want to hear it. Just tell me where he went. / Minion: He left without telling anyone where he was going.. but he took his sword, sir. / Darcy: ... I'm going out for awhile. / Darcy: I'm going to the only person who'll tell me the truth.
Grayling - Wednesday, August 7, 2002 Morse: I don't have a lot of time here, I have to go to school. / Mid: For the moment, forget about school. This is more important. / Morse: Heh... I think my teachers would disagree with you. / Morse: What's so important that's going on, anyway? / Mid: This world, Arduc, has had previous encounters with Faidia's elementals. They arrived here a long time ago and killed Arduc's original set of 'mentals to absorb their power and assimilate Arduc into Faidia, at least in spirit.. They control Arduc, but none of the people here are aware of it. They leech off your resources, but preserved your culture so that most people only know Faidia as a vague ancient culture in the mythology books. / Morse: What do you mean by "worlds"? Dimensions? / Mid: Something like that, although we usually only concern ourselves with individual planets, but these exist in different "dimensions", and only the elementals have the power to travel between them. I'm sorry I can't tell you more, lots of this information is accessible only to high ranking branch members. / Morse: La dee da... So.. What's the problem...? / Mid: Let me explain something to you. 'mentals are not like you and me. Their bodies aren't real, and in their natural form, they're merely blobs of energy. They lack our inhibitions. They love to manipulate people. They'll get you to laugh just to see you frown again. It's... not completely their fault... Part of it's ignorance, another curiosity, yearning even, and another plain and simple cruelty. Sometimes their emotions are sincere, and sometimes not. But they are constantly pretending to be what they are not, and that makes them very, very dangerous. / Mid: Being an elemental is unbearable. But they'll never be able to be mortal again, even if they once were... / Mid: Their jobs aren't ones they can just retire from with a gold watch and a nice pension. They ARE their jobs. / Mid: y'see... / Mid: While we can only perceive reality... / Mid: The elementals create it.
 
Grayling - Thursday, August 8, 2002 Mid: It's not a sure thing... but from past experience, we know that the kind of behavior they've been displaying lately is a good recipe for disaster... Our elemental of evil, or chaos, depending on how you look at it, has just been let loose after 5,000 years of imprisonment. For now, it seems he's taking a break, but he'll be back to Arduc to finish what he started. / Morse: And what is it he started? / Mid: We don't know. That's why we need your help. Whatever it is he wants, you're a key factor in finding it. / Morse: I don't know how... I'm just a kid... / Mid: Don't worry about it. It's probably something you'd never even suspect. Let's start off this way... Is there anything unusual in any way whatsoever about your family, or its history? Involvement in wars, strange deaths, mental illness, congenital defects, that sort of thing. / Morse: Uh..Jeez... no... Well, except for mental illness.. I guess there's some depression on my mother's side.. but... / Morse: I have a cousin I haven't seen since we were little.. he was supposed to have gone schizophrenic or something, because the last I heard of him, he was in an institution. / Morse: It always seemed odd...nobody wanted to talk about it.. / Morse: I didn't really know them that well, so it didn't seem like a big deal. / Mid: That sounds like a lead to me! Now we're getting somewhere. / Morse: ....Did you just plug the computer into your neck? Isn't that bordering on eccentric? / Mid: Hey, you're the one with the crazy relative.
Grayling - Friday, August 9, 2002 Fletcher: MOM IS MAKING US SNACKS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! / Delye: You have so many neat things in your room!!! What's this toy plane do? / Fletcher: OH MY GOD YOU TOUCHED MY PRECIOUS THINGS??!?!?! / Fletcher: WHY DID YOU CHANGE CAPTAIN UBER'S POSE?! I WORKED FOR HOURS TO GET IT JUST RIGHT! / Delye: He looked rather lonely, if you know what I mean. / Fletcher: WHY IS MY POSTER STRAIGHTENED?? OMG YOU CLEANED UP THE DUNE OF GARBAGE ON MY DESK! / Fletcher: AND THAT'S NOT JUST A TOY PLANE, IT'S A T-3S9233492495 COOKIE 5323 ROADSKY RANGER SPECIAL EDITION! / Fletcher: bLAH BLAHB BLAHBLAHBAL BHAFLFDetc. / Delye: *munch munch* / [Author's Note: Oh god Fletcher sucks.]
Grayling - Saturday, August 10, 2002 Mid: I don't want to make the impression that they're horrible people...none of them are, at heart. Especially Cal. But they've had hard lives, and it shows. / Morse: Cal was never anything but kind to me... / Mid: I'm not surprised..Cal is a sweet person. / Cal: Here's my house. / Mid: This is your cousin? / Morse: Umm.. Yeah, that's him. That's an old photo, though. He's about three years older than me, so he should be 19 by now. / Mid: You look a lot alike. / Morse: Heh, yeah, we both resemble our dads. My dad and uncle are twins. / Mid: I see. What's his name? / Morse: Rhodes. Dunno why they named him something so weird... / Mid: {Thinking} I can't tell her this yet... But the aura around this photo is mangled beyond repair. He's undergone a transformation worse than death...which means... / Mid: Where is he being kept?
Grayling - Sunday, August 11, 2002 Mid: {typing} The records show that when the branches invaded Arduc and assimilated its elemental power, all of the native elementals were destroyed and their power absorbed by their Faidian counterpart / Mid: {typing} But Arduc, unlike many other worlds assimiliated by Faidia, possessed a native elemental of evil. Faidia's elemental of evil, Raenerial, was not available to absorb the power of Arduc's evil elemental, and so it escaped destruction as the only living member of the Arducian branches. Raenerial, newly freed of his imprisonment, is now searching for this elemental in order to collect his due. / Mid: {typing} I have good reason to believe that this elemental has been possessing mortals since the invasion, too oppressed by the surrounding Faidian presence to physically manifest himself. This elemental is now in the possession of a 19 year old boy. / Mid: {typing} The power this elemental possesses would double Raenerial's strength. This lost elemental must not fall into Raenerial's hands. / Mid: {typing} A full dispatch of Callaneriallian agents is requested to assuage this problem and protect the mortals involved, as well as make a study of the possessed mortal in queston, since the effects of malignant elemental possession in human mortals is little understood. Respectfully submitted, Toecaro Callanerial (Midnight) / (Edonalokce, or "diamond palace" the Callaneriallian stronghold) / Cal: They know, Rae. It's not very easy to hide these things from them anymore. / Cal: If you won't listen to me, then you had better hurry. They'll snap your prize out from under your nose. What are you waiting for? Go ahead. Leave. / Rae: ....
Grayling - Monday, August 12, 2002 Morse: What a smelly bus.. well.. this is the place where they have Rhodes, or so they tell me.. / Mid: My my, looks most drearily illegal, doesn't it? / Morse; Well, I think this is the back... / Mid: Right then, all we have to do now is wait for Fern. / Morse: Wha? Wait a minute, Fern? / Morse: Isn't he an elemental?! You all warn me against coming into contact with them, and then you get me tangled up in even more messes INVOLVING them! I wish you would stop contradicting yourselves for once and tell me what the HELL is going on! / Mid: Okay, okay! I'm sorry! You don't have to be scared of Fern, he's a secondary which means he was a mortal once. / Morse: Hmph. / Mid: Smoke, Fern, and I were assigned to protect you. / Fern: We're here. Hey, Mid. ... Oh, yay another nuthouse with barred windows. How convenient. / Fern: We can put Smoke in it. The mangy furball nearly smothered me last night. / Mid: Oh, Fern. You need to calm down. This is serious. / Fern: I'll be serious, right after I shove that ratty flea-infested-- / Mid: Shhh.. You know he's just after the body heat. / Fern: If heat's what he wants I'll acquant him with the microwave. / Mid: SHHH! / Smoke: Would you like to break into the hospital with them, or stay outside with me? / Morse: Gee. How will I make up my mind. Both sound so appealing. / Fern: Anyway, what am I burning today? Where? When? Are fireworks legal here? / Mid: Ahahahaha.. FERN....
 
Grayling - Tuesday, August 13, 2002 May: Yes? / Darcy: I'm sorry to disturb you, ma'am.. but I'm your brother Lem's boyfriend, Darcy: I was wondering if you could tell me the truth about your brothers.. what happened, and all.. / May: Okay. Take off your shoes and come in. / Darcy: I would find it rather inconvenient to live in a tent in the middle of nowhere. / May: Fortunate that you don't live here then, isn't it? What would you like to know?
Grayling - Wednesday, August 14, 2002 May: Our parents are the dieties Sun and Universe. Cal and I were fraternal twins. He was born first, making him the oldest and most powerful entity of Faidia. Our father wasn't faithful, and had another child awhile after with the Moon. The Sun was horribly jealous, and wanted the child destroyed. He was our half-brother, Raenerial. / May: Moon brought the child to Cal to keep safe. Cal raised him like his own. They were very close. / May: Then, for some reason none of us understand, the Sun and Universe had another child, Lemanerial, our youngest brother and later to become the Sun's favorite child. / May: Even then I had very little interest in what was going on. Rae and Cal didn't have what you would call a normal sibling relationship, but there was no one else BUT us back then. There were no societal taboos or anything of that sort... Lem made up all that stuff later. / May: The Sun had no interest in raising babies, so Lem was dumped on Cal, too. Rae was a teenager by the time Lem arrived, and for awhile, if I remember correctly, they were all very happy together... but Rae began to feel excluded.. I doubt Cal did it on purpose.. Lem is the type of person who demands a lot of attention. It's in his nature. Rae used to be such a shy boy because of his appearance, easily swept under the carpet. Cal was so busy raising Lem, Rae felt unwanted. He ran away. Cal was crushed. You have no idea how much those two adore each other... it's uncanny... / May: Not long after Rae left, the Sun decided suddenly she was interested in Lem again, and took him away. It was easy enough to do. Cal didn't seem as wonderful anymore to Lem, especially now that he was grieving after the missing child. The Sun offered him power.. taught him how to build his own little world to control.. How to use his power to create life.. / May: He didn't have to deal with what he thought was Cal's nagging anymore.. no more parental figure telling him what to do. HE was in charge now, HE was running the show. Little did he know the Sun was the one with all the cards. Cal was never a nag, never hard to deal with. He would have given anything to those boys. They were spoiled rotten, and weren't even aware of it. Unlike the Sun, Cal loved them, and would never have done ANYthing to hurt them. Needless to say, without proper instruction, Lem's first generation of living things failed. All the plants died and rotted in the ground. Faidia itself was covered in reeking slime. It was very ugly. Lem, pissed as all hell, went looking for answers, and the only one he got was conveniently provided by Rae. "It's all Cal's fault," was the answer, and d'you think the Sun jumped to correct them? I don't think either of them really knew what they were doing. Scapegoating is an ugly, blind sort of thing. They just knew they could walk all over Cal as much as they wanted to, and the next morning he would still love them just as much. Cal loved unconditionally--Not like each other, not like the Sun, certainly, and not like the dead things Lem had created. So they murdered him, together. They had no concept of what death was. They literally created it. Lem didn't TRIUMPH over death, as the false legends say--he helped bring it into being. And Rae.. Rae went absolutely mad. He fulfilled the Sun's prophecy, and became the elemental of evil. He would have annihilated Faidia after realizing what he'd done to Cal. I arrived late on the scene.. I locked Rae into Cal's gaping chest. God, I can still see the blood splattered everywhere... They played in it like children with fingerpaints. We all have some blame in this situation.. I could have helped Cal raise those two, or stepped in somehow. But there were no rules back then.. We didn't know bad things could happen. Hah, unbelievable now how gullible we were.. I doubt we've much changed. Rae, Lem.. they're like overgrown children. I'm sorry you have to deal with him, but I'm also glad he has someone willing to love him despite what he is, because I highly doubt he's capable of loving himself.
Grayling - Thursday, August 15, 2002 Fern: Christ, it's dark in here. / Mid: Lower your voice.. but yeah.. it's unusually dark for a hospital... there should be a night light someplace at least.. / Mid: The computer says he's in room 217. We should be able to find it soon.. we're on the right floor... / Mid: OW! Fern, What-- / Fern: MID.. RUN, NOW! / WHAM
Grayling - Friday, August 16, 2002 WHAM / Rae: Ah, how I've dreamt of smashing your head in with my very own hands, Moranerial. You've stood in my way one too many times. But I must say, I'm disappointed. Aren't you being a little easy? / Fern: We havent even started yet, sir. / Rae: That's more like it. C'mon you little midget, give me all you got.
Grayling - Saturday, August 17, 2002 Fern: {thinking} I need some time to heal... Need to distract him somehow.. Even if I blew up this entire city there wouldn't be a scratch on him.. / / Fern: Why the HELL do you toy with me, Rae. What did I ever do to you? / Rae: Because I like to fuck with you, Fern, it's as simple as that. / Rae: You get excited about the littlest things. You really do ask for it, you know. No wonder everyone teases you. / Rae: That and you're extremely PESKY. / *SLASH*
 
Grayling - Sunday, August 18, 2002 Rae: Sorry I can't play longer, Fern, but I have business. / Time to put you out of commission for awhile. / Rae: ...?! / Mid: Raaae! Aren't you even going to say hello to me? / Rae: ...Mid...? / Mid: To think, this is technically the first time you and I have ever met. I was beginning to think you would never come out... / Mid: Plus we haven't spoken for so long.... / Mid: You're even handsomer than I imagined! / Rae: ...er...well...you're only saying that..Mid... / Fern: Phlekh... Just some..slight discomfort over here. *cough*
Grayling - Monday, August 19, 2002 Fern: Sick fuck. I'll have to thank Mid later. My head is spinning...where the hell are my glasses? All healed up--I have to find that kid NOW. Rae won't fall for it for long. / Fern: Where is that room... / Fern: There's something wrong with this place...It looks abandoned in parts, but it's being used for SOMEthing.. we need to get out of here. / Fern: Ah, here it is. / *screee* / Fern: Hello?
Grayling - Tuesday, August 20, 2002 Mid: Rae.. Why'd you attack Fern? I know you two don't like each other.. but it's not necessary... / Rae: Bah. That was just a love tap. And he WAS getting in my way. You two want to keep that boy away from me. / Mid: Why do you want the power so badly, anyway? / Rae: Why do you think? Lem is going to try and stuff me back in Cal the first chance he gets. I'm NOT going back in there, dammit. I need the extra juice after being held up so long. I don't know why Cal doesn't approve. It was as bad an experience for him as it was for me. There's a lot of things I need to fix on this planet, starting with Lem's treatement of the halflings. It's my fault that started in the first place, and I'm gong to stop it. / Mid: We're on your side, Rae, please believe me. Doubtless you'll fight with Lem no matter what.. but don't fight against us. Fern may not like you, but he shares our concerns. / Mid: We want you to be safe... Who knows what this strange 'mental will be like. There are other.. and more strategic ways of doing this. / Rae: Sheez, Mid... you voice of reason. / Mid: Just doing my job... / {cuddling ensues}
Grayling - Wednesday, August 21, 2002 Morse: All of you seem to be billions of years old or something. I guess it was wrong of me to think that anyone that old would be.. I don't know.. Calm, wise, and not as.. how shall I put it.. spastic? / Smoke: Yes. Spastic is a good word for it. / Morse: Don't you have some sort of elemental of LOVE or NICE FEELINGS or anything of the kind? / Smoke: ....no, actually. There are nine elementals.. Death, life, good, evil, water, earth, air, fire, and time. / Morse: And all of you are animals? / Smoke: Of course. / Smoke: Death is a crow, Life is a snake, Fire is a snake, / Good is a swan. Air is an albatross, Earth is a fox, Time is a winged horse. Mid, by the way, is a horse. Time is his mother. / Morse: ---W-what about blue squirrels? Because there's one one my arm. / Smoke: Oh.. that'd be Vivanerial, elemental of water. / Morse: What do SQUIRRELS have to do with w- Oh, nevermind. Is he dangerous? / Smoke: Depends on your definition of "dangerous."
Grayling - Thursday, August 22, 2002 Fola: {grabbing Viv off of Morse's shoulder} Tch. My apologies, Miss. Stop scaring the natives, Viv. / Viv: Kwee / Smoke: *resigned* *sigh* Morse, meet Folanerial, elemental of air. He's one of Lem's secondaries, if that means anything to you. / Morse: They're really coming out of the woodwork, aren't they... / Smoke: What do you want, Fola? / Fola: I'm here for the same reason you are, Smoke. Everyone's talking about it. I don't know why this little pest came, though. He never actually DOES anything. / Smoke: Well, for now we're just waiting. This night could turn out fairly violent, however, so be ready for a brawl. / Morse: A brawl..? I don't like the sound of that... / Viv: cheeeeee n_n / Fola: Hmm, well I-- Oh for the love of god, stop HUMPING me!
 
Grayling - Friday, August 23, 2002 Lem: Delye? What are you doing there in the dark? / Delye: Lem...? / Lem: It isn't safe here... the place is infested with mortals. / Delye: One invited m-me to his house and then after awhile he asked if I would go out with him and I said yes and then I asked where we were going and he said he wasn't ready for the committment and that he was dumping me and I had to leave so I've been standing here outside his house waiting for someone to come get me for hours and it's so very cold ;_; / Lem: Why of all the nerve.. which house is his?! I'll show that little bastard, nobody treats my minions like that and gets away with it. Here, put my coat on. / Delye: B-but... / knock knock knock knock / Delye: P-please don't Lem! It'll just make it worse! / Fletcher: WOW YOU HAVE LONG HAIR ISN'T THAT PRETTY GIRLY FOR A GUY TO HAVE WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHATEVER IT IS I DONT HAVE IT BECAUSE IM BUSY CLEANING MY RETAINER AND THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING / *chop* / Delye: Ouch. Lem, you cut his head off. / Lem: Yes..Yes, I suppose I did
Grayling - Saturday, August 24, 2002 Suti: There he is. Are you listening to me, you little shit? I know you can hear me. Melted through those locks like they were wax .... Nothing you could ever do, hmm? There's something wrong with this one ... I can't wait to see more ... There's a room in his head ... a lot like this one. Dark, rotten, guilty ... / Suti: What's that? You don't want to? Well, you don't really have a choice in the matter, DO you. Yes.. something deeply wrong here. / Suti: He's perfect. / Suti: You know what you need to do.
Grayling - Sunday, August 25, 2002 Morse: It's been awhile.. I hope they're all right. How much longer do you think they'll be in there, Smoke? / Fola: WELL, seeing this is a Callaneriallian-run project, it could take from one to two, oh, maybe three BILLION years. / Smoke: Cal didn't order you to come, Fola. / Fola: If it wasn't for YOU people we wouldn't have to be doing this in the first place! I won't be surprised if something doesnt get BLOWN UP before tonight is finished, you bunch of hamhanded -- / Smoke: We handle our projects the way we see fit, SIR. / Viv: Pay no attention to those two. They were born to fight. You and I, though, we're different. We were born to make looooove. / Morse: The night will end eventually... the night will end eventually.. the night will end eventually..
Grayling - Monday, August 26, 2002 Okay, kiddo.. Usually, I don't really care for my face, but since it's already been ripped off once tonight, if you're going to maul me, I woulder if you could focus on some other part of my body. I doubt you're in this strait jacket for nothing, huh? Let's see how we can get you out of this thing... / Fern: Tch... you've been through hell, haven't you. Black scars under your eyes.. Heh, we have something in common then. I used to have a black scar... nasty aren't they? / Fern: But there's something else wrong... You can't hear a word I'm saying, can you? You're deaf. / Fern: Hum. ... Come on, I'll take care of you.
Grayling - Tuesday, August 27, 2002 Mid: Rae... I really wish.. you'd stop hurting Fern. At least.. intentionally. There's no point to it. / Rae: The 'mentals need their chew toy. Fern's been the meat of choice since he was born. The fuckin' Sun thought so, and since we're all such nice little sheep, we've been following suit. What can I say? He takes a licking and keeps on ticking.. / Mid: So do I. / Rae: Oh yeah, sure. Except you whimper and cry when you're hurt. Fern snarls, bites, and curses our names. You do the math. Torture is a lot more fun when the victim presents a challenge, and anyway, Fern is nothing to feel guilty over. / Fern: Hey. Target initiated, or whatever. They had him trussed up in a padded cell. He's deaf, don't know how much of his other senses are crippled. / Fern: Hasn't spoken a word... you should take over from here, Mid. / Mid: Ugh... / Mid: He's starving. The only reason he's alive is the elemental possessing him. Living death... the mortal probably died a long time ago, but it's trapped inside. / Fern: An unwilling minion... that's the worst. / Mid: Something like that.. He would look a lot better if they were feeding him, though. / Rae: That's a bunch of half-assed mortals for you... They lust after eternal life when they can't even keep their own kids alive. / Mid: Oh, quiet, Rae, save your anti-people rants for some other time. / Rae: Hmph ¬_¬
