NPC Inbox: Fear

[Fear's inbox message is simply a crackling of static, with vague thumps here and there. It goes on for about thirty seconds before cutting short, like the sound was snapped off.]

Did you? You terrorized so many of the other humans here with your unique abilities.

I think you succeeded.

[unitas]

You must not have understood my goals.

[lingeringfear]

You did it to harm us.

Beyond that, I admit that I'm not sure what the intent was.

[unitas]

So, why the fucking gift? [ she assumes it's because he's a petty, salty bitch. ]

I mean, I want you dead——No, you know what, that's inaccurate. I want you to fucking suffer in a way that I want so few others to suffer. I want it so badly it hurts, and I promise, I will stop at nothing to see you come to that end. I don't really care what happens to me, or anyone else to get to that point, either.

[ Fear is terrifying, but, oddly enough, the emotion can be oddly empowering, a different sort of fire than something like rage. ]

[lingeringfear]

Your action gave me power. I was thankful.

Your demons cannot hurt me, Sharon. I'm disappointed that after all of our conversation, you continue to be so shortsighted.

[unitas]

What can I say? I just had to give it a try. It was better than twiddling my thumbs, and hoping shit here will change.

[lingeringfear]

It will change if you hope.

Perhaps not in the way that either of us want, though.

[unitas]

What's the way you want? How do you want all this to end?

[ Is there even an end? ]

[lingeringfear]

Should I confide such secrets in the girl who wants to kill me?

[unitas]

I can't hurt you, let alone kill you, so what I want doesn't really matter. A few secrets won't change that.

[lingeringfear]

It's not whether or not you can change my plans, it's the fact that I'm a little disappointed in you and I don't think I want to reward bad behavior.

[unitas]

[ :| she's resigned herself to disappointing everyone since mello appeared in her apartment, ok. ] So, is that a hard 'no', or an 'ask again later'?

[lingeringfear]

Ask again later.

I like you.

[unitas]

Funny.

[ but she'll remember that. ]
