@salvenged got a starter now that the dusts cleared

There were a lot of things Cassie could never be sure about, but there were a lot of things she could be sure of. That thing in the basement had lured her down here, that much was true. Not a lot of time to assess its intent but when you have the two people you trust most, Gregory at the time and Roxy, tell you to run………you run.

The next thing that unfortunately rang true was her best friend in the whole entire world, tried to kill her. She had somehow survived it but that didn’t change the fact that it had happened. Her best friend tried to murder her and she didn’t get a chance to grieve about it after she came to in the crashed elevator because……it’s still out there. She can hear the sounds of it walking around outside her little metal cage. 

Cassie could attempt to squeeze through the gap the broken doors made, but she hasn’t partly due to fear and partly knowing she won't make it far. She’s rather sure the strange endo could stick its hand in the gap to pry the door open to get at her….but it hasn’t made it’s move either.

A stalemate of sorts.

" If you could go back, WAY BACK, back to the start ... Would you do things differently? ... Or would you doubt this happened at all, and run headlong back to your old ways? Would this all become a burning memory to you? I will not judge you one way or the other for your answer. I am just looking for honesty. " ( from xerox :)c )

'I will not judge you'. Well how could they, when there's only one answer.

"I would have to do it differently. This isn't the sort of thing I can just forget, and I've no intention of earning it twice over. And everyone else-" all the corpses he'd made, and the souls once attached to them, "-would be relying on me. I'd have to. I just...

I don't know how long I'd last."

Years and years and years of having to function like a complete human being, father husband businessman friend nonstop. Of a weak, vulnerable, human body. No simple routines. No comforting facade of a robot with a handful of easy tasks. Just pressure and dread, every waking moment, until the day he finally got to die.

"I wouldn't kill anyone. I could stop myself from that. But there isn't enough left of me for everything else."

@salvenged asked: ❛  trembling, aren't you? still, i'm impressed you made it this far.  ❜ (from cynic)

“ I’m starting to get really tired of people underestimating me.” He huffs

Gregory had somehow managed to do what he thought impossible. He managed to sneak past every guard, every staff bot, and now found himself in the bowels of the mall he doubted would be on any map . But he had to know. Ever since that guard let him into that VR booth in the back, it felt like an itching under his skin.

Something tugging at his soul to go deeper. 

“I keep seein’ glimpses of you the further I walk down here. You're clearly not one of the glamrock endos….what….who are you?”

@salvenged asked: ❛  don't be afraid. i'm a friend.  ❜ (cynic again I am so sorry sbdfhbsdf)

“If you greet all your f-friends with an attempt to murder, you really should work on that-.”

She’s moving carefully in the ruins, as careful as she can with that hurt leg, can’t let herself be seen. To be seen is to be caught, and that first meeting certainly left an impression.

How the hell is she gonna get out of here? She needs to survive…survive and confront Gregory for leaving her to die .

❛ kid? . . . l - little girl? are you okay? ❜ ( jamie for babi )

the little girl looks his way, holding her doll close to her chest she looks warily at the person in the doorway, she whimpers and hurries toward a door as she cries.

[threadfree]

"no matter what happens, we have to stay together." ( from jamie! )

" Jamie, you're right. Take my hand, okay? We'll be okay-" because... "I got your back!" She'll make a move to take their hand in hers.

❛  you are no longer the alpha of the house.  ❜ ( from serox to alpha because it was too perfect I had to. )

the bird flicks it's wings, beady eyes staring at the other. "I never was. but neither are you. we both know that. unless you have a grand scheme to take down a certain one?" their tone turns sarcastic at the end, knowing at this point that the shades don't want Henry dead. not yet, at least.

the raven's head leans forward, silver swirling within its eyes. "as far as a pun on my name, I give that a three out of ten."

" why did it take you so long to tell me? Will, h-how long have you been holding this in? " ( From a concerned Henry )

William thought that Henry already knew. Certain...physical aspects of his life are unpleasant, but considering the alternative, it's not like he's going to whine about it.

"It's bearable, really. Just a side effect of flesh without skin. It doesn't-it isn't terribly painful as long as nothing touches it. " The metal aches, at times, but the flesh-William spent thirty years decomposing. This is far easier to live with.

"It's more the cold that's an issue, really." A lie. William would rather have the cold than the pain. But this way he's presenting Henry with a problem he can solve.
