PapatymisonN: Right.
Lithaladhwen: (Gotcha.)
Lithaladhwen: (New window it is.)
PapatymisonN: (Cool like a fool in school.)
Lithaladhwen: (Presumably Eve.)
PapatymisonN: (You presume correctly.)
PapatymisonN: <rp>
Lithaladhwen: <agreed>
PapatymisonN: * few weeks ago, once Donald had begun raising animals in a location away from the house, he had (in a rare act of asking) requested an office be made there, so he could keep books and whatnot*
PapatymisonN: *today, once she arrived home from going out (Selena was still at school), Donald had left her a note, summoning her there, and instructing that if Selena were with her, she be left with friends for a while*
Lithaladhwen: ....*rides her broom there*
Lithaladhwen: *yes she has one that flies*
PapatymisonN: *the door is closed*
Lithaladhwen: *bangs on it* HEY YOU.
Lithaladhwen: What did you want?
Lithaladhwen: *doesn't open it in case he's jerking off or something*
PapatymisonN: ... come in.
Lithaladhwen: *opens the door and does so*
PapatymisonN: *and there's the scene*
PapatymisonN: *two men are lashed to the wall of the cave, one missing an arm, another a leg. A third man lays dead on the floor, head struck from his body. Selrahc sits in his office chair, soft and high backed, his sword standing beneath his hand, and dripping with blood...*
PapatymisonN: Hi.
Lithaladhwen: ....Who the fuck are they?
Lithaladhwen: What the shit?
PapatymisonN: ... rustlers.
PapatymisonN: They wanted to rob me, steal the cows, sheep...
PapatymisonN: I told them money was in here.
PapatymisonN: ... and then this all started...
Lithaladhwen: No. No no, this is not one of those stories, we met out in the grass, one thing led to another and arms were lopped off!
PapatymisonN: *oh. the two men on the wall have been severely beaten, cut up... tortured, really...*
PapatymisonN: ... I think I have a problem, Eve.
Lithaladhwen: I think you're fucking crazy! Give me one reason why I shouldn't walk out right fucking now.
Lithaladhwen: Why I shouldn't teleport to Argovia where little boys in bikinis can feed me grapes till I die in a drunken perverted old lady stupor.
Lithaladhwen: One reason why this is better.
PapatymisonN: ... Selena... *drops the sword*
Lithaladhwen: ...*stunned* Don't you dare.
Lithaladhwen: Don't you dare bring her into this when YOU are the one not thinking about Selena.
PapatymisonN: DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?
PapatymisonN: Uh?
PapatymisonN: ... gods, I got... ... so INTO it...
Lithaladhwen: You want her to find out? You want her friends parents to find out? Use your fucking brain, Don.
PapatymisonN: ... gods... What have I done? Really?
PapatymisonN: I don't... care about these thieves! At all!
PapatymisonN: ... but... I just did something I would NEVER do in front of her.'
PapatymisonN: ... that can't happen again. o_o
Lithaladhwen: No it can't. Because one day you are going to do it in front of her. Because you can't fucking restrain yourself.
Lithaladhwen: Why? Why do you enjoy that so much?
PapatymisonN: A lack of restraint?
PapatymisonN: *looks back at her with those EYES for the first time* You can't imagine?
Lithaladhwen: I don't go out of my way to make people suffer. I'm not like the rest of my family. *short pause* You might be.
Lithaladhwen: Fuck this. I'm leaving. Fuck this shit.
Lithaladhwen: *turns to head out and go SOMEWHERE else*
PapatymisonN: (Not much worse than Myrnal, eh?)
Lithaladhwen: (Not by a margin as wide as you might think. Remember she sacrificed a man to the god of hate, mutilated his body and burned him on the altar. All for a crime he only said he had committed.)
PapatymisonN: (... so, it's not that SKoD's good, it's just that she's VERY bad.)
Lithaladhwen: (She doesn't mean to be.)
Lithaladhwen: (She was upset.)
Lithaladhwen: (Anyway.)
PapatymisonN: ...
PapatymisonN: *exits, locking the door... did she take flight?*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, she did.*
PapatymisonN: *gives chase, then*
Lithaladhwen: *bends down over her broom, urging it as fast as it'll go*
PapatymisonN: *not letting her get out of range*
Lithaladhwen: *dives down like a falcon into the trees on the mountainside*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't have to worry about a wingspan. I don't like being followed.
PapatymisonN: *weaving and bobbing through those trees like a demon*
Lithaladhwen: *abruptly rears up and dips behind a tree, not re-emerging*
Lithaladhwen: *a broom thwaps him as he passes*
Lithaladhwen: WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME?
PapatymisonN: Gak *collapses onto earth*
PapatymisonN: ... because I need you.
Lithaladhwen: (Omnibroomslash!)
Lithaladhwen: ...you...you what?
PapatymisonN: *stands, dusting himself off...*
PapatymisonN: ... ... I need you.
Lithaladhwen: *blinks, and shakes her head, incredulous* You don't need anything. You want me around to babysit your kid so you can go kill townspeople. You want things. You don't need jack shit.
PapatymisonN: ... you're wrong.
PapatymisonN: I... want to be someone my child can look on and smile at.
PapatymisonN: ... you... help me to do that.
PapatymisonN: If you are not there... I...
PapatymisonN: Will dissolve back to my old self. That cannot happen.
Lithaladhwen: Find someone else to be your salvation. It's an old game, and I'm tired of losing.
Lithaladhwen: Go figure yourself out and find someone else to take care of your kid. I'm not going to do either one if all you're going to do is spread this.... this craziness the moment I'm not watching you.
PapatymisonN: ... I relapsed. I made a mistake.
PapatymisonN: I can try and make no more.
PapatymisonN: ... I can MAKE no more.
PapatymisonN: v_v She's not having a monster for a father.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah? Well, guess what. She probably does.
Lithaladhwen: And I want no fucking part of it.
Lithaladhwen: I'm not going to watch you descend into batshit insanity.
Lithaladhwen: But I won't save you either.
Lithaladhwen: That isn't my job. I deserve better than that.
PapatymisonN: .... gods... Oh gods...
Lithaladhwen: What're they going to do about it, huh? What are you calling on their names for. You're fucking crazy. You make people suffer for no reason.
Lithaladhwen: That's all you. No one else.
PapatymisonN: I KNOW I AM NOT RIGHT.
PapatymisonN: I TERRORIZED THIS COUNTRY FOR YEARS, OF COURSE I'M MAD.
PapatymisonN: BUT I REFUSE TO LET MYSELF CONTINUE DOWN THAT PATH.
PapatymisonN: Do NOT abandon me for a misstep.
PapatymisonN: ... I need more mercy than that.
Lithaladhwen: ...so you finally come face to face with the horror of your own existence, and you ask me for mercy. What about those guys, huh? Did they ask for mercy? Did they beg you? Did you like it?
Lithaladhwen: Tell me!
PapatymisonN: ... ... yes...
PapatymisonN: Yes. I liked it. e_e
Lithaladhwen: *crosses her arms and stares at him expectantly*
PapatymisonN: I enjoyed trapping them with their greed, I enjoyed killing, I enjoyed making them scream.
PapatymisonN: I enjoyed every second.
PapatymisonN: ... ... I don't know what else you want of me.
Lithaladhwen: And I don't either anymore.
Lithaladhwen: Take the house. Tell Selena whatever you want. Tell her I love her and I'll see her again. But I can't do this.
Lithaladhwen: \
Lithaladhwen: *-\
PapatymisonN: ... ... vVv
PapatymisonN: *turns away* If you must.
Lithaladhwen: *bamf*
Lithaladhwen: *is gone*
PapatymisonN: ... ... errrrrrrrrAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *cleaves a tree in twain.*
PapatymisonN: Damnit.
PapatymisonN: ...
PapatymisonN: *takes to the sky again and heads for Selena's school...*
Lithaladhwen: *is totally hanging out with a bunch of other girls at recess, in a hair-braiding circle*
PapatymisonN: *sits a ways away, smiling*
PapatymisonN: *oh, wings are gone, don't worry...*
Lithaladhwen: *gets up and runs over* Dad!
Lithaladhwen: *attach*
PapatymisonN: Hey, sweetie...
Lithaladhwen: Hi! Eve isn't coming? She busy?
PapatymisonN: Uh... yeah.
PapatymisonN: Thought it'd be nice to walk home today...
Lithaladhwen: Um. All right. *rationalize, rationalize....nods* It's nice out.
Lithaladhwen: Are we going now?
PapatymisonN: If you don't mind playing hooky.
Lithaladhwen: I haven't been absent allll year! I can take a mental health day. S'what Eve calls them. When you take a day off because you want to.
PapatymisonN: Sounds like a plan for me.
PapatymisonN: ... gelato on the way?
Lithaladhwen: Okay!
PapatymisonN: ^_^ *tosses her up on his shoulder, and heads for the gelato shop*
Lithaladhwen: *Ice cream is had! They go home, Selena eating some crazy maple nut thing that is AWESOME*
PapatymisonN: *eats something fruity*
Lithaladhwen: *They arrive home* So... where's Eve? She shopping again?
Lithaladhwen: She said she wanted a new bag.
Lithaladhwen: We were going to go buy them together for girl-time.
Lithaladhwen: She left already? *disappointed*
PapatymisonN: ... sit down, Selena.
Lithaladhwen: ...*sits and licks the last of the ice cream of her fingers kitty-style*
PapatymisonN: *sits too* Eve's going to be... gone for a while.
Lithaladhwen: ...Why?
PapatymisonN: We... had an argument, and she... doesn't want to be around me right now.
PapatymisonN: IM: Can't say I want to be either...
PapatymisonN: So, for a while, it'll be just you and me.
PapatymisonN: Can you deal with that?
Lithaladhwen: I...I guess so. She coming back?
PapatymisonN: Who could stay away from you forever?
Lithaladhwen: Heh. *grins* I am pretty cool.
PapatymisonN: *hairtousle* That you are.
PapatymisonN: Now, up for some of dad's famous ribs?
Lithaladhwen: Yeah!
PapatymisonN: (And that's about all we need.)
Lithaladhwen: (Aye.)
Lithaladhwen: </RP>
