Moved on? A puzzled blink followed. He didn't understand the tight expression on the mans face, the lie spilling from his lips. It made him curious, but he wasn't sure how to phrase his curiousity and thus for once let the matter go. Instead focusing on the more puzzling question returned. "Friends?" He tasted the word thoughtfully. "Are we? How do you decide what a friend is? He answers some of my questions..." Here Damian's gaze flicked to Corbin. A friend by title, but one who had never told him. Never answered those questions... A flicker in the demons eyes betrayed something almost accusing. "He tells me some things... Do friends tell you the truth, answer your questions?"
The tension was rising to a snapping point. Damian held that stare, and then moved on.
The blonde one hadn't answered his question either. Many of them didn't. It bothered him, bothered him, bothered him, not knowing things. Being avoided. He wasn't quite sure who to settle on before fixing on the blonde that had just been released. "Answering questions... like names. Like why..." His chest hurt, staring harder. Something about the blonde really, really bothered him. Something about those black tendrils that had been holding him. It triggered something in his head, until he staggered, holding it. "Answering..." He paused, licked his lips, inhaling. Peering through the long locks at the blonde again.
"Who. Are. You."
It wasn't a question that would accept being ignored a second time. His lip curled...
I was so fixed on it. On this exchange. It scared me. A part of me that wasn't me. He looked so.. unstable. Dangerous. The worst parts of me magnified and given power. Maybe it wasn't so amazing afterall. Corbin was looking at me... oh god, was he judging me based off this now? Off this thing I could become? I shrank back from that stare, my eyes watering. Please... Please... It's not me. It's not me right now. I'm sorry. I won't become that, just please don't look at me like that..
I flinched when I felt a hand on my head, snapping my gaze to Danny. My knuckles were white with how tight I was hugging my knees. Danny... was trying to calm me down. Telling me it would be fine. After what I'd done...I couldn't stop a few tears rolling down my face, mouthing two words, my voice so hoarse and strained I wondered if she could even hear the 'I'm sorry'...

In reality.. This.. Intense moment.. Was terrible for all of them, the power lurking in the room.. The way things could just get blown away in a Single Instant.. But For her, this was actually a good thing.. The Roleplay will live, but most importantly.. Nobody was asking her questions, Nobody expected her to answer anything.. She could slip into the shadows.. disappear from this whole situation forgotten. But. No. She couldn't do that. Her eyes flicked over from The demon's interaction and interest in bill, Shit.. Don't say your Name. Don't.. Bring up memory.. Don't Bring up memories.. Eyes flickering to Damian, Poor guy.. But then Damian loved the torture and tension, maybe some twisted way.. She. he.. Was enjoying this?
Atonix felt his.. whole body tensing, sensing everyone.. Who KNEW the truth, judging him.. QUestioning him. But.. no.. this.. this.. he didn't want anything to happen... He gave a fraction of relief run through his body.. While Damian asked the meaning of friends.. He swallowed trying to stay calm.. Body growing tenser thinking of just WHO ALL was in the room. "Ye-yes, We're uhh friends. Yo-yo-you share a connection, draw to them.. Like.. Like.." He swallowed a round of saliva, still on edge, waiting to use the little magic he had left to pause time or.. or.. scream for Res.. or.. something... "Corbin.. Who-who helped you.. They-they.. Try to make you more co-comfortable wi-with yourself.. And.... They don't always answer the questions, they might... might.. " His heart clenched again trying not to cry, "Not answer them at first.. But.. Whe-when you're ready... trying to keep you safe.." He felt his heart.. struck.. As the Demon seemed to turn from him.. But Rather to.. Bill.... Asking who Bill was.. Just.. He was confused, Did Damian no longer enjoy Bill? Did.. Something.. Happen.. Where they best of Allies? He.. Didn't dare interrupt.. But.. Hoped... To.. to.. What should he doo..
Bill Snickered, watching the interaction between Atonix and Damian.. How.. The Little Time Lord Lied between his teeth..Oh Booo Hooo.. Protect the feelings of This guy... The tentacle slowly removing itself from around his neck.. Freeing him from the wall.. Giving him the freedom to do as he desired... Taking the Whole Arena for His own personal Desire and vendetta.. Of course' Being involved in that.. Betrayal.. Creating this.. Just what had happened? And Will... Damian Recall that scene? BEST BE CAREFUL... WEAVE this.. To His Advantage. "Why.. The All-Knowing-Eye, The One Whom Can answer all those pesky questions " He gave a slight smirk and bow, before effortlessly point to Atonix, without pointing at all.. More like a hip movement that just.. Led one eyes in that direction... "Friends, Answer All your questions. After All.. Friends Have trust.. Don't they? Trust in You." He gave a small hand forward, "Let me ask... Have they been treating you like something you Are Not? but I know you... better.. So. Do. you. Trust Me?"
SHIT. Shit. Shit. Ginger quickly saw where this was Going, and feared the worse. Bill was A moron, Of course' guy didn't even know Damian Was still alive! Much Less... The HELL he'd been put in. She looked around growing tense, how do you control a child? That wasn't yours.. Or Who Held more power than you.. Cookies.. You bribe them with Brownies cookie.. Sugar... Was Was... Wasn't Damian allergic? No.. That..Didn't matter.. She.. She.. Needed something to break this.. this..
She didn't have demon powers, but.. She had observation! While Bill seemed to hold Damian's attention she quickly moved to the table pouring a drink soda.. That Damian.. Himself had Picked out for the party.. PLEASE WORK! STAY AWAY FROM HIM! She quickly held it out shouting toward Damian, hating doing nothing.. and feeling stupid for DOING SOMETHING. "Damian! Want something to drink? Yo-yo-you haven't had Soda, yet have you? Its.. like.. Coffee... bu-bu-but sweeter and colder.. Wa-wa-wanna try?" She shoved the plastic cup closer, body quivering in fear.. Cussing herself out, why didn't she Slip into the shadows?!

i beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies I didn't know what to say. I was too scared to say anything, to mess up anything more than I already had. I could only watch and listen as Damian stared at me and Atonix started talking. Friends... ... "...I...I'm sorry...Damian. I wasn't a good friend." I tried to interject as Bill started talking. I didn't trust him as far as I could toss him, I wasn't going to let him get to Damian! "I've been a terrible friend. I...I...I tried to protect you, and I failed. And if you don't trust me because of it, because of my faults, I understand completely....But please, Damian. You're my friend...you're...important to me...and...and..." Damnit, why couldn't I finish my sentence?? I couldn't let Bill do this..! I...I...
Kynan took a step back. Corb was shaking, and honestly they were too. 9 people; 3 demons, 2 gods, an Atonix, and 3 pure blood humans. Sure, Nathan let go of Ginger and Bill, but if Demian learned that buddy was Bill then-- "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah..! Maybe we should...I don't fuckin know, sit down and talk calmly about everything?" They were all going to die.

I quietly hushed Damian, giving him a gently smile as I gently warp my arms around him. Gently, patting his back, "It's fine, it's not your fault. You were angry, I get it. Don't beat yourself up." I kept hushing him with sweet nothings, hopefully he calms down soon. Unitl... Everyone began doubting themselves. I hear it, I hear everything and it breaks my heart to hear such thoughts. How tortured they were, how their hearts are breaking and fearing the possible outcome. I need to do something. I have to do something. Gently I let Damian go, I stood up, hover my hands above my chest and closed my eyes. Everything will be okay, everything will be alright. As I took my power off my mane using the power of demon weirdness I elope the room with gentle light.
I felt blood come out of my nose.
Nathan watched the whole thing go from 0 to 100 real quick, he stood in front of Ginger, waiting for the visitor to attack. He watch the two players try and convince the other demon, he pressed his lips together, he can hear his heart pounding stronger. This isn't going to end well, he knows that, he should do something but what? Then gentle light eloped the room, Nathan was about to flee from the light until it dawned him. He felt a little better and... calmer? He took a deep gentle sigh, opened his eyes as the light faded quickly. Where did th-
A loud thud snapped him out of his thoughts. He followed where the sound came from, only to find the demigod sprawled out to the floor. Body covered in harsh deep bruises, her eyes were eerily unsettling they looked... "Lamb!" he called out, he was frozen in shock. The king waited for her to get up. And then he waited and waited and waited.

Atonix was going on and on, his voice shaking. He barely listened. Something about friends, defending Corbin? Damian sighed. He didn't dislike Corbin. He was just.. bothered a little. Something in his gut leaned towards the fellow demon, so how could he ever dislike him? This one, however... His eyes fixed on the blond with an unreadable expression. Head tilting. That tone of voice. It made him think of Henry, but less dismissive. He didn't like it. That tone of voice was too... leading. Misleading. "Do you know me? Do you really... have answers that others don't?" There was a heavy beat of silence. Then his fingers snapped. Deep blue flames leapt up from the ground, and warped into threads of some sort of... it wasn't darkness per say. It was too dark to be simple shadows. And it was cracked, like stone, or the patterns on marble, but the cracks were the only bit of color to them, tainted a slight silver. These threads whipped out to slam towards Bill, trying to pin him to the wall. The demons eyes narrowed slightly, lips pressed into a thin line. He was tired of games like these.
"If you know, then speak clearly. No more riddles. No more... avoiding. If you know me, I don't know you. So I don't trust you. But I know Corbin." There was a pause as the demon looked the birds way. Corbin, who talked about protecting him from the truth. From the mistakes he'd made. Corbin... Who had risked himself to save Damian from that horrible place...
"And I trust him. As long as he stops hiding things from me."
He paused just briefly to stare at the girl that approached. This trembling nervous stranger who... apparently also knew him. That just seemed too normal by now. These people that knew him, but that he didn't know. Another tendril of that broken not-darkness reached out, curling around the cup, bringing it to him. He clasped it in his claws, sniffed it, sipping it carefully. He didn't like coffee. But this... It was... pleasant. Sweet. Had a nice little bubbling that cut through his stomach and made him feel lighter. He liked it, if the slighter softness to his eyes betrayed anything along with the low him in his throat. He nodded a little, then flicked his eyes to Ginger. A pause as he tried to remember the right response. "Thankyou."
He eyed the all-seeing from the corner of his gaze. He couldn't hurt him, could he? Not if he wanted to keep that promise. Even if Henry still hadn't kept his. Unless...
"Are you a living thing?"
He heard a thud, shifting his gaze. Staring at the fallen stranger in an apathetic manner. He'd felt a touch of calmness for a minute there falling over him, but the magical influence was fading again. What was wrong with her? The way she just... He tilted his head, staring for a moment, waiting for someone to explain.
God.. This thing... this confident man was supposed to be a future me? What the hell? There was no way! He was so... broken, sure. That part I could imagine being me. But not how cool and confident he seemed. The way he talked. It was nothing like me. No, I mean, maybe? I thought back to those times as a teen where I'd joked around with the idea of an alter ego. Of an 'inner darkness' and methodically acted out being that alter ego when I was hanging out late at night with friends. Maybe. It was kinda like this. But this was more. This was... like... it wasn't an act. This was real. I couldn't put my thumb on it, put it into words. But I could feel it. God... it was so mind bending. And everyone was trying to calm him down. Everyone was so nervous. But... why? Was he that powerful? This thing that couldn't possibly be me. But if it was me...
Danny... oh my god! I jumped forward without thinking, managed to lessen her fall a little, but jesus christ that hurt my arms. I didn't care though. She looked so... oh my god what was wrong with her? "D-Danny?! Danny?!" My voice cracked. Was this my fault too?? I was shaking, hugging her tight. Please no, please. She was so nice, why?! Why the hell?? Was she sick? Some kind of illness? Oh yeah, nice fucking twist. Except I was here witnessing it you asshole! Okay that was too far, I'm sorry, but jesus christ please god no, please no, please... Let her be okay please please please... I had to do something. I started wiping her face with my sleeve, my eyes wide and watering. Please wake up, I'm sorry, I'll do better, I'll be stronger, anything, just please!
I hugged her tight, not noticing the faint flicker of silver flame briefly crossing my fingers, pulling off the hands, and then vanishing...
Only Corbin and Atonix would see her. That familiar, dark haired woman, holding the also familiar grey and white cat. The gentle smiling hazel eyes, as she flickered in a corner. Staring right at them. Nodding. And then vanishing. And in that moment Corbin would feel it. The silver flame merging, activating, and giving him a level of power. A level of awareness.
Congradulations Corbin. Welcome to the true power of being a Wallbreaker. Remember Bill? Remember what he did to this place? Let's see what you do with that freedom.
And Atonix... what will you do with the gift you've chosen, now that you too receive it?

Ginger was rather grateful he accepted the glass.. Seemed.. To help him a little.. She was also extremely happy that the thing wasn't falling that easy for all the tricks. She stepped a step back after he said thank you, and her eyes flickered around the room at that tense tense room. She did all she could, guess it was up to them? If it came to a full blown fight, at least she was close to the door. But Dear Anything out there, DO NOT LET That Fight Happen!
"Do you know me? Do you really... have answers that others don't?" He struck something, a grin could go only sharper, perfect... Then A Snap. Blue Flames erupted, beautiful lovely flames dancing dramatically. SMACK, transformative that dance slamming him right to the wall causing him to Gasp choking on his saliva, eyes flickering completely bright red. He gave a slight chuckle at the pain, eyes narrowing enjoying all of it more than he should have. Knowing if He fucked this up, he'd have to make an escape. Don't Lie. Don't Dance. Play the Game. "Yes, I a Living Thing." He grinned a bit brighter, "Next Question." Giving a slight painful chuckle, Why the Hell does him being a living thing Mattered? Also Why t hell he keep being such a fucking Underdog? Again and Again? Bastard Chosen One kids knocking him off his pedestal.
Atonix waited, his body tensed, worried that his words wouldn't reach.. Be buried alive by Bill's nonsensical words of manipulation. He actually felt a surge of appreciation as the Demian Pinned the lying bastard to the wall. Though.. He was still slightly worried about those Blue Flames coming down like a Library of Alexandria.
Then the.. Familiar woman.. From Corbin's house.. Appeared.. Smiling Gentle.. It.. It.. Was like A 3-D In 1 House. His heart skipped a slight beat, The Roleplayers they were going to help.. Damian.. Feminine Damian was going to help! He felt a slight awe as she came, and left.. His eyes flickering over to Corbin.. Wondering waiting.. His pockets growing heavier, his pants.. feel as if they'd fall off.

i beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies God. Damn. It. "Y...Yeah, I'll stop hiding things." Damian had Bill pinned up against the wall which, to be fair, I wasn't entirely against. What I was against was all the tension in this room and how close we were to someone dying and... Huh. This calmness was a nice surprise... Wonder who...what was...oh no-- "Danny!" I rushed over, dropping to my knees and gently shaking her shoulder. Thank god Damian broke her fall, a concussion would just be the icing on the cake here. "Hey, hey, wake up, please-- ...huh..?" For a few moments my attention was turned towards the new Damian. Player Damian. Why was he...when one becomes three. You clever prick.
I took a breath. With that Flame I felt...not better, but...better? It was hard to describe, but with this new power...with everything I could do, could I...rewrite what happened? I had to try. With another breath to steady myself, I tried mustering whatever magic I could to heal Danny. To Heal Everything.
... Welp. They weren't panicked anymore, but things were still an absolute mess. Maybe once things were all said and done they could get a drink...or two...wonder if Res had anything? For now all Kynan could do was just watch how things played out and pray that things didn't get worse.

I have been playing Neopets for a long time. Neopets is a browser-based game in which players raise virtual pets. When players cross pages throughout the site, they can be rewarded with random events of various flavors: pet modification, currency (win / lose), item (win / lose), flavor text (without gameplay), quest text, access to new areas. on the world map. To play it was more interesting I constantly Buy neopets items. This game allows you to learn how to manage money, buy and sell. This is probably the easiest way for people to progress in the game. In the game, you can save money on goals to set up your pets, buy / sell items, studying the market value of items.
