Home curled around him, the sensation of belonging strong-- but not enough.
He drank deeply from the oasis, but he did not pull from the spring. It was beyond frustrating to feel this restlessness stir within him.
Five months, now, they had been waiting. Together, at last, they would find home.
If only they could get a little closer, get a little more.
Restless and irate, he dragged his blade along the ground, growling and snarling all the way. His steps were out of time, his movements perfunctory and stiff.
In his natural form, he would tower over any hunter, loom and peer down with his green eyes flashing under the dim of his helmet, reflected in the small amount of light that filtered under it.
He LOOKED.
We must find it, we must, we must. It was his one and only imperative, blind to any friends or allies he may have previously known. He ignored Malodore, the once familiar red and black garb not registering in his mind.
Black and violet, too, would provoke no recognition. Only anger at his goal being put off, a stalling, a tactic to separate them from HOME.OOC ASH IS NOT IN PVP!

Though it looked as if he could barely keep himself standing, Thackery just kept moving, heading for safe cover where he could rest - somewhere he could fight against his own thoughts instead of someone he didn't consider an enemy. He had to keep moving, through exhaustion, through the worry. He had to find a place where he wouldn't make things more difficult for anyone. He had to-- The sight of an Insanity-riddled Ash halted him so quickly that he went tumbling headfirst into a thick patch of grass. But...but he was gone. He'd watched him leave, in the most final sense of the word, consumed by the thing he'd fought so hard against. He changed course to be near him again, to be sure that he was still real. "Please no, please, please no," he repeated, his pleas disorienting as he ran a frantic circle around Ash's feet. "Please, please wait here, just...just wait here. Don't touch anyone. Wait here with me." And then there was a boil reaching up towards him, in the place of an excitable puppy, tears coating his cheeks when he could no longer hide them. "Stay here until we can go home. Together." OOC THACKERY IS NOT IN PVP!

Through the chaos, through the wreckage, the body, the crying, screaming, bargaining, ferocity and grim denial, the fervour of those with Fear who just wanted to go home and others who sought only revenge, something shifted with satisfaction.
It absorbed the hatred and chaos, it took in the grief and it for the first time felt alive at the chaos it had created. He had created. The ground quivered, and then burst into a full quake as something wormed its way from where he slept: fragments of crystal, shards larger than any person, any tree, bursting from the earth in clusters.
There was barely any time to panic, everything happened in mere minutes.
Perhaps some students were still in battle, perhaps Hunters were still defending their territory, lamenting, bargaining as others fought on. Perhaps the Horsemen were still tightly wound up in a single word - revenge -
- When the crystals began to split and divide further, bursts of branches continuing to grow, split again, into an impossible web-like network of pure opalescent colour. There was a loud ringing, sharper than anything imaginable, reverberating with the crystal. As everyone paused, as the ground, the sky, the very world around them began to shake and then merge with the crystalline structure -
- Perhaps it would be too late for them to realize that they had all been caught up in someone else's revenge. His revenge.
Bursts of white as they touched the ground, the trees, buildings, weapons and hands, limbs and Fear began to burst into white, flower-like crystal structures. Where one touched, another grew and spread, a foot, a limb, leg, weighed down by pure crystal, numb and heavy, growing and spreading like fragments of ice. They continued to spread, faster and faster now, mere moments turning into seconds as everyone watched in horror, as their bodies became trapped in coffins.
A strange feeling passed by them just as the crystals consumed them whole. Perhaps it was loss, perhaps despair, and perhaps for a select few simple acceptance while others indignation. Seconds later, it didn't matter.
The entire island was covered in crystal, consumed by his insatiable, uncontrollable desire for revenge. OOC: ALL PLAYERS ALL PLAYERSYou see it coming almost painfully slow, the white fragments of crystal that burst from the ground. Some around you are consumed instantly, frozen in the solid structure while others are ripped from your very hands. You try to fight it, outrun it. You are only fooling yourself. FENDING OFF CRYSTALS- The crystal fragments steadily grow outwards, taking up all space. There is nowhere else to go. REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE THIS HAPPENS TO YOU. RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. You are free to interact with anyone in your zone until you are consumed. - If you are in a PVP, this happens IN YOUR PVP. If you are in an open thread, this happens IN YOUR THREAD. Hp is carried over - Roll 1 d100 IN THIS THREAD and match your results to the results below. You continue to roll until you are out of HP, and then are pretty much consumed by the fragments at 10 HP (ALL PLAYERS). If you have less than 10 HP then you are automatically consumed without rolling and can proceed to your DEATH SOLO. At that point you can write your DEATH SOLO, whatever moments of lingering regrets you may have. Just post it in this thread/ pvp thread if you didn't conclude that one, no need to make a new thread. 1- 20: As you shatter a few fragments, you find others growing at your feet. They don't just hurt, they tug at your Fear and for a second you feel everything turn black. -10 HP 21 - 40: You hear a crackling noise - the crystals are growing above you, breaking off and threatening to impale you. - 10 HP 41 - 60: The fragments begin to shake as they snake up, wind upwards and grow, and for a second, the white around you seems different. For a second you see something else. A figure perhaps, the noises of battle - anger - you almost lose yourself to this feeling - 10 HP 61 - 80: Ouch! You wince as a fragment cuts you, and then stare at your wound in surprise as your blood begins to crystalize as well into fragments, growing out of your wound. This doesn't look good at all. - 10 HP 81 - 100: You feel tired. Maybe it is just time to give in.... You hear something calling about revenge. So that's what the the voices had meant... - 10 HP

Ash peered down at the pup skittering around his feet. He blinked once, then twice, almost languid in motion. There was a twinge of something, of warmth and --
No.
No, there was not. How silly would that be? The reaper knew, deep in his heart and his bones and his core, that the world was best in greys, in cold, in mist. They would want nothing with the likes of this.
"We do as we please, mongrel," they intoned, the voices clamouring in his mind to MOVE, to SEEK IT OUT.
TO FIND HOME.
"WE WILL NOT WAIT." Dull eyes observed the canine shift into something on two legs, a mess of violet and caramel and tears. "We will find it. We do not need the ASSISTANCE of the likes of you."
With the siren call of home curling around Ashford's mind, he trudged off, abandoning Thackery.
Again.

If they were both going to be stubborn they would just have to leave and get everything sorted out once they got to Amityville. He was not sure how he would tell the zomboil what had happened, how he could really explain everything that happened...or if he even would. Now was not the time for all of this. He began looking for a way to escape, not wanting to fight, not sure that he really could in his current condition, but he would try if it meant getting them out of there. Did someone call for a magical, unstoppable force? Because that was what interrupted his search for an escape route. The first sign was a strong ringing, growing louder as the earth beneath his feet began to shake, crystals snaking toward him and beginning to form everywhere they he could see. For just a moment he had time to consider them, to see a mirage figure in the area, the sounds of battle still strong, a flood of anger. Again, something was happening again. Why could they not just leave him alone? There was nothing special to be seen here, nothing unique. He just wanted to go home and not be a walking weapon. It was infuriating. Crystals began to claw at his feet and he tried to push them away, but where they touched him they seemed to thrive. "You need to get out of here now," he said, looking up at Alexander, eyes wide with fear and confusion. "Please."OOC YIN IS NOT IN PVP!

[Entering from PVP] Jerry dimly scanned the masses for a fresh target, swaying and still humming softly under his breath. A crystal suddenly erupted beneath him, but he shambled past it in his daze. The rush of adrenalin had faded, but still the pain was there. Were those voices in his head? It tasted of Insanity, but he was too numb to fight it. He wanted vengeance as much as those hushed whispers, but who could he blame? Post hoc ergo proptor hoc. A vortex, they were all stuck in a vortex and they were drowning...

The amount of horror Yuzhi felt, as the earth cracked and crystals formed, was pretty indescribable. This was wrong. She wanted revenge and she wanted to make people pay but this was not what she wanted. This was not her vision of how it would all go down. This wasn't making things better at all, not one bit. What had happened? Where did they go wrong. Suddenly she felt lost.
She glanced for the male that had been encouraging her along but in her panic she couldn't focus on much more than the crystals tugging at her feet and her world was growing dim - a blackness was consuming her vision worsening her panic.
Brother would make this better. Brother would save her... OOC MY CHARACTER NAME HERE IS NOT IN PVP!

She was trying to draw back, stumble away, and stumbling was about all she did. Each time she lifted her feet to try and move but it just made things worse. Rooted. Like a tree. Rooted and stuck. Forced to obey things that were beyond her power. Forced to listen. Forced to do things that she did not desire to do.
All her life she was told how to act. What to do. What was proper. All her life...
Her destiny, her goals, all these things were essentially determined for her with very few choices of her own thrown into the mix and this is how she was rewarded for her loyalty.
A crystal swooped by and cut along her jaw and she bled and felt the blood harden almost immediately into crystals against her skin. This wasn't supposed to work this way. No. No. Stop it. Stop whatever this is. Please, someone...

It was utterly hopeless, all around them the crystals were spreading, chaos was multiplying like the things themselves, it didn't matter who was in their way. Rep didn't begin to understand what it was he was dealing with, what it was that was coming for them. All that mattered was the weapons tablet in his arms and finding Ace somewhere on this battlefield.
Everything became hazy in an instant, the white was too bright, much too bright, it made him feel dizzy and unbalanced, like gravity was shifting, like everything was wavering.
Once again he could hear the battle and once again he could see someone there on the periphery of his vision. Every time he looked they were gone and every time they were gone his anger grew, this entire situation didn't need to happen he thought, none of it would have ever ******** happened if they were more ruthless, if they killed more readily, if they gave no quarter at all in the fight against these monsters.
The anger was at himself, was at everything, all consuming and toxic. He hated them all, he hated this place, he hated his own failures, he hated how people had to die.
It immobilised him as much as the crystals slowly immobilised the jungle around him.

She wanted...
Yuzhi wanted it back. She wanted her home the way it once was. Yuzhi trembled as she stared down at the gathering crystals trying to get away. She wanted to get away. This wasn't how...
This...
Wait revenge? She heard something about revenge but....No revenge is what got her here. Revenge is what was now swallowing her up...Practically eating her alive.

Hate.
Hate for the Hunters. Hate for the crystals. Hate for everything she could think of just then. Everything except the things that mattered to her. She hoped Tseng had the sense to run instead of helping her like she had requested. Yuzhi hoped that kind male that had checked on her earlier would also run. The small horseman felt her body contort with one last anxious desire to flee and to get away before she was just still. Frozen. Like a statue.
Her only thought was that she had not seen enough of Halloween. That she regretted not knowing enough tales of glory. She felt sorry that she did not get to see her brother become a True Hero like they both wanted. Yuzhi regretted not talking to her Mother more and not giving her Father enough of her time as she learned her profession. So much insight lost so much time wasted.
Weariness filled her and the voices murmured once more about revenge. Revenge got her nothing, she didn't even get to rend any of the Hunters apart and it left her even emptier than the losses that she had suffered. Her taste for revenge was dwindling though she still wanted it so badly she could taste it on her tongue. Yuzhi's vision filled with blackness.
Yuzhi wasn't sure why but...
Sleep sounded so good.

She'd failed. When the action had started, she'd hesitated, hesitated too long to be of any use to her friends. It was rather shameful for someone who'd promised to help, who'd promised to fight for the cause. For revenge. But there was hardly time to contemplate her failure now; large crystal fragments were forming everywhere and steadily creeping closer. Leo heard a cracking noise and looked up - crystals were growing above her, too, and some of them looked about to fall off. Crack. The one just above her fell and Leo hurtled to the side, hoping she was fast enough. She was, and she wasn't - the crystal fragment had grazed her side, but that seemed to be all it had done.

Eisheth couldn't catch the exact moment, when it happened, but somehow she felt something was wrong, with her bare back. Was she right about the Hunters traps? Her brief encounter with the hunters proved they're mischievous and despicable creatures quite fond of dirty tricks. Or was it the power Medea was going to unleash supposedly to help them out?... If so, she was stupid. The enormous mass of Fear covered the entire island: the crystals, the shards that truly helped them just a while ago, were conquering the entire surface. Probably, the mass of the Fear was the key: tiny shards were attracted to the horsemen and students being absorbed by them; they used the shards to heal themselves. But the ice river of crystal right now was too massive, too powerful to be absorbed (and if it could, it the first place, it would probably devour the person who attempted to do it). The alchemist viewed students, horsemen and hunters being sucked into crystals and frozen inside the giant glacier. Was Medea mad after all?... Couldn't she, who planned the entire operation in secret, without asking for their advice, at least predict this destructive force? Or was it some third side, unexpected by all of them?... While she was silently observing the new disaster, Eisheth suddenly felt a cold touch: a few shards were growing right underneath her feet. For a moment she almost fainted, as the shards touched her; everything went black, and the crystals were just tugging at her own Fear right. " Oh beloved Queen", sighed Eisheth. " Good that you don't see our disgrace". OOC MY CHARACTER EISHETH IS NOT IN PVP!
