A Strange Case

Okay, I need to talk to that Hyde guy STAT- Something about him is bugging me

- lcb-hamlet

(Hyde was awake, inside the Therapy room- with Husky seemingly let free. He was split, while a younger form of him roamed around happily, playing with toys and cheerfully laughing.)

Yes?

I'm a bit exhausted at the moment...

But we can talk if you wish.

lcb-hamlet

Well,

//Hamlet clears his throat.

I can tell you’re the theatrical type, but you’re going about it all wrong; you use a lot of themes all at once without giving them proper weight in your speeches.

lcb-hamlet

Ah- wait, I may be confusing who is who. Which one is the loud one?

(Jekyll looks over at Hamlet, waving happily.)

HII!!! WELCOME TO THE THERAPY BASEMENT, MY FRIEND!~

(Hyde looks irritated.)

Him. (He'd point to Jekyll.

WHAT A FEELING TO BE ALIVE!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

HOW WONDERFUL IT IS, TO BECOME TRULY MYSELF- TO INDULGE IN THE URGES I SEEM FAR TOO SHAMEFUL TO ACT UPON! I WILL BE THE DEVIL, FIGHTING FOR THE FREEDOM OF HUMANITY AGAINST GOD AND HIS ANGELS!

I WILL BE THE HERO THIS CITY NEEDS AND DESERVES!!! AND NOTHING WILL TRULY STOP ME! NOTHING EVER WILL!!!

NOT THE CITY, NOT MAN, NOT ABNORMALITY, NOT EVEN ANOTHER DISTORTION!!!

(As Jekyll leaves, his cape flourishes with multiple potentially cursed Weapons, all magically upheld as he laughs almost psychotically throughout the night...)

…oh god, what’s going on over here.

[…this may be about the flattest I’ve ever heard her speak.]

[Either way, she breathes out a sigh.]

I FOR ONCE AM FREED OF THAT COWARDS HOLD! FOR NOW, I WILL SAVE EVERYONE I CAN, EVEN IF I SHALL BE CAST INTO HELL ITSELF!!

[Oh she is STARING staring-]

[…imagine an expression like whatever Ralsei in Delatrune had when Flowery was existent most of the chapter.]

…you, uh.

Realize you two’re prolly like.

Functionally parts ‘ve the whole-?

Oh, I am more then aware. I am the base urges of myself, or of "Hyde". I am him, and he is me. Yet he will never acknowledge it. For he is a shameful shell of what WE used to both be. He repressed me, and my natural want to help others, to be kind...To be human...All of it down and down...But now...?

NOW? I AM TRULY ALIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND NONE IN THE CITY CAN TRULY STOP THIS FULFILLING SENSE OF FREEDOM!!!!

[And cue quite possibly a very aggressive, if not annoyed, sigh.]

[Her hand drifts to her face, fingers slightly underneath her glasses.]

…I.

I don’t know how to even begin dissecting this-

[A sigh again.]

Freedom, in the City?

That’s about as likely as the Library coming back within the borders.

Ah, I see, you do not understand the position I am in.

(As multiple abnormality esque weapons...similar to Der Freischütz's own gun...He is the Devil, and he has made deals.)

I am the Devil himself. I am Lucifer on his quest to free humanity of suffering and to give autonomy who cannot give it to themselves!

[…the Ralsei-core-ness somehow intensifies.]

[Another sigh…]

I-

You know what I don’t even have good words for this right now this ‘s gonna be like a whole yap back ‘n forth isn’t it-

Uh, so!

I’d think that if you guys’re separate then like-

Literally just being basically fronting alone’s probably not that good an idea-?

#//OOC he may be brutish but he has SOME sense of politeness #//OOC lowkey feels bad for this entire situation #End of RP Event: Jekyll takes control for the night

It is interesting to talk to you, however. Perhaps you would like to be put inside the Therapy room?

Ah...You wish to talk to Hyde...?

Awww...I had wished to have the night to myself for once...It was nice to see what Hyde truly thinks of me...

(As the flames and demonic form reverts- all sucked into the right side of the face- mask forming once more. As Hyde collapses onto the ground...He's...asleep.)

what if you examine your scarf at night

Good point.

Guess I should wait til' night then.

(Jekyll would seemingly be staring through the window with morbid interest and curiosity. But it seems Hyde was confining Jekyll to ONLY stalking as opposed to casually slamming the door open and announcing his presence and curiosity to Kath...)

[…is this a stare-chain now-?]

[She’s simply…standing there, head slightly tilted aside as she tries to figure out what the Arbiter could possibly be doing in this situation.]

[Just why.]

It's not fair...Hyde shouldn't be the main one...I should be fused with him...It's not...He's just a coward...A fucking coward...He is the monster. And his own shame will be the...

(The figure shakes his head, looking at Lili.)

...What are you doing here?

(He looks...far more ragged...More...Disheveled.)

. . .

[…she raises one arm akin to a shrug.]

End up places.

Used to it.

You?

My pathetic other self wished to...See more curiosity in this world.

I...Do you know of a way to rid distortions? Or a way to...calm oneself- to remain as a Distortion and not to become an abnormality...?

(Hyde looked...a bit more desperate then usual.)

Uhh-

…well a distortion can be resolved, but as far as I’m aware that has a possibility of relapse back into one?

I’m uncertain how long it takes for one to become an abno honestly, sorry on that front.

…also curious of whether resolving this’d have more…unconventional adverse effects…?

[…she mutters a musing to herself.]

…uh, anyway, resolution’s sorta a thing where I genuinely dunno how I’d go about it but I wish I could help sorry.

...Fuck.

Fuck..No...It's...It's alright. Thank you for this information.

Jesus-

The hell are you doing?

...Scientific Curiosity had coerced that...other self near here. I instead decided that instead of him RAMMING into the door to announce his folly and his foolishness, that he should simply stare there.

(Hyde shakes his head, as then comes Jekyll.)

I wish to LEARN about your new interesting scarf you have acquired!

(Jekyll shakes his head, as then comes Hyde)

NO- W-We'll be going now...Apologies for the disturbance.

(And he is gone.)

...

We should kill our coworkers-

(Hyde slaps himself.)

...Fucking...I'm...I'm waking up as him...

...

(Hyde would get up, rubbing his eyes and looking exhausted. He rubs his eye, looking tense. He needs to keep drinking it. Keep drinking it. Bring himself...back to normal. He HAS to be normal. If he hasn't- if he doesn't-)

(Hyde closes his eyes, before exhaling heavily in exhaustion.)

I need to get rid of this. I have to get rid of the devil that lurks inside my very soul, the monster that calls himself...

(Hyde looks...grim. His expression darkens. His hold on something tightens.)

I know what I must do.

...I can't...I can't keep flirting with death like this.

(Hyde slumped to the ground, his mind erratic...His mind...eerily unstable for once.)

I must become a....A monster. I must truly reject my cruelty and my nature.

...I...I cannot fight it...I must truly separate...No...No no...

I cannot...I cannot...I can't...I CAN'T.
