Outside the hospital was freeing only in the sense that you went from a dark blackness to a foggy whiteness. Either way, Kaethus hated it and continued to hold onto Aaron's hand as they went out, breathing out a solid sigh of relief while he was near him.
It would be big brother to the rescue, as it usually was. Kaethus didn't mind though. After hearing her[i/] voice of all things he needed something solid, something concrete to fall on. That was Aaron. The Tank. The Fight brother. All the while Kaethus could only see him at that he didn't seem to notice something off, something about Aaron that he didn't see.
But he would.
OOC: SCENARIO 7
Scenario requirements:
This event can only be rped with TWO or more people. One of the characters begins to lose their mind, convinced that a someone is talking to them, telling them there is safety beyond the fog. They begin to drag the other character that direction as well.
The other character now has the option to fight back with that player, or accept. If they follow, the first player will continue to talk about this imaginary person talking to them (make one up, base it on a person close to that character) has promised them an increasingly more ludicrous count of promises (you can make these up). They get stranger and more unrealistic.
This rp continues until the second character being dragged realizes something is up with the first character. They can choose to roll 1d6 to drag the character back towards the hospital away from the thickness of the fog. If the roll even, they succeed, if they roll odd, the other character continues to drag them. Continue this RP until the second character has rolled 1d6 and rolled even successfully to drag the other player out.
Characters involved: Kaethus and Aaron Extra effect:
Any player in your party [ carrying a flashlight ] will be able to shine it in dark places. This does an additional +1 damage every time they hit any sort of mob (including boss mobs!) when they flash it at them.

It felt a bit better after being outside of the hospital. He was reunited with his brother finally, his flight brother. But at the same time though, it was eating him up on the inside that he couldn't be there sooner. "I really did let him down . . ." Aaron had more dark thoughts in his mind, clouding his senses slowly as they walk together. "Was . . . was that voice right then? Am I weak?"
Aaron was in such deep thought that he didn't notice he was walking to where the fog was.

"Where should we go now?" Kaethus said, glancing back to Aaron. Normally he'd expect to see his one eye looking at him, but this time he was focused on something else. Or rather, nothing. Kaethus saw a vacancy in his brother's eye as he felt him drift back towards where they'd come from. Back to the fog. Or was it? Kaethus couldn't be sure and he looked back to Aaron, gripping onto his hand and following after him.
Aaron was the older brother, after all. Ever since then he'd been the only one there for him. Surely he knew what he was doing now? There was never a reason to not trust Aaron and he wasn't going to begin now and he clutched his hand tighter. "Lead the way Aaron." He said, but wasn't really sure if his words reached him or not.
Something was amiss.
Was it the phones? Or rather, the lack of actual ringing from the phones? Kaethus had some doubt but followed after Aaron, now quietly. Maybe he knew something Kaethus didn't?

". . ." Aaron was silent, he's thinking well about what happen. He has to make it up to Kaethus. He has to protect him as he held his hand tightly. "Hm?" For a moment he thought he heard something.
"Here . . . over here . . . you'll be safe here." The voice was familiar, yet foreign at the same time. But it was comforting to him, making him decide to go straight over there which is beyond the fog. "Okay . . ." With a firm tug, he was leading Kaethus the way straight to the area.

He gave a smile when he felt the grip on his hand tighten against his own, giving Aaron a look. Only, his look wasn't returned and he moved over to his side, trying to get a better look at his face. "Okay?" Kaethus blinked a few times. "Who...?" Maybe it was just stress, or maybe he was answering him? Kaethus followed after him still, looking back to the darkened windows of the hospital.
"It might be warmer back in there." He suggested tentatively to him, turning back to look up at him. "Would that be better, you think?" There was no answer. "Aaron?"

The suggestion went through one ear and out the other as he was firm on going on ahead to where the voice is telling him to go. "NO!!" Aaron snap at him, his gaze glower at him for what he had actually suggested was stupid. "We're going beyond the fog there. It's safe . . . safe, yes . . ." His blue gaze look on ahead, piercing through the fog. The voice was going at it again in his mind. "Aaron . . . Aaron, come here. Bring Kaethus and come here . . ." At the voice's command, he drags Kaethus along with him if he decided to follow him or not. "It's safe there . . . I can hear someone saying it is . . ."
Aaron was acting weird, even though he has no idea that he was. He was worked up, so determine that they have to go there where it's safe for the two to be in. And he doesn't want to hear anything bad about it from him. Aaron will snap at him again if Kaethus says something different, not giving a damn at all.

"NO!"
Kaethus almost jumped out of his skin at the yell and nearly stopped moving. "Aaron?" His voice was meek now. The tone of his voice wasn't like before. When Aaron was annoyed or angry at him, Kaethus could always tell it came from a different place. A place of love for him. This wasn't like that. It felt more desperate, condescending and rather... creepy.
"Safe? Aaron... there are eyes and bodies and who knows what else! Other infected..." He was starting to sound desperate on his own but felt himself dragged. While he tried to let go of his hand his was grasped into a death grip. "Aaron!" He tried to go dead weight but the larger man easily pulled him.
"OW!" Kaethus stood and tried to dig in his heels but he continued to pull. "There's nothing safe there! AARON!!" There was panic starting to set in. "Someone? I'm the only one here!" Kaethus turned and looked out as they were almost to it. "We can't, we can't go back out there!"
Earlier he had called him his tank and now his tank was running aimlessly onward. Every time he tried to stop he was pulled again, feeling the agitation from his older brother but not caring. Clearly something was wrong with him. Worse than the phones... what happened to him?
Words were falling on deaf ears and he decided on another tactic, one he wasn't sure would help but he moved in front of him and with a loud THWACK, hit him across the face, shoving his body until he was turned around the other direction. "Fight it, fight it Aaron!" He shoved again, it was like moving a mountain and they moved only slight, just out of the fog and in sight of the hospital again.
"T-there." He was panting, staring at the hand gripped tightly onto his still, looking up at his big brother. "Aaron?"

Aaron merely glance over to his as he drags him over. "That's there, but beyond . . . beyond, the other side . . ." His words were broken sentences as he spoke.He really was desperate to move to that area as fast as they could that he can see the fog ahead of them already. It was only just the other side now, and they have to go through the fog in order to be safe faster. With the hell they went through with the Undying, the cannibals at the casino, and this now.
"I made a promise!" A promise damn it!" His voice grew low, ferocious even in matching with his craze look. "I have to make you safe. So shut the ******** up, and follow me." He had pull Kaethus up close to him. "Your older brother knows best . . ." He turn around to go on ahead and back to where they have to go all while ignoring his stupid little brother. Then all of a sudden . . .
TWACK!
A hard, swift punch landed across his face. It had caught him off guard and he staggers back. In his daze, he was shoved until they had turn around to the other way where the hospital was. "Let me go! I have to do this! I have to ******** protect you Kaethus!!" He yells, but it was a different tone of voice compare to how he snap earlier.
He was staring at the ground now, panting softly as his head was swimming with the dark thoughts again. "I . . . I have to. Like dad said to me before, I'm suppose to protect the family. But I'm failing . . . . I can't . . ." While his hand was holding his, Aaron turn away from him as he brought his free hand up over to cover his face. "I don't want to hinder you. I'm . . . I'm not strong. I feel so weak . . ."

"...protect you Kaethus!!"
He stared at his older brother with a solemn look, almost blinking back tears. At least the voice was back to where it should be, but it was like watching him crack. The outer, strong visage suddenly gone as the raw inside came out and he looked at him and shook his face.
"The hell are you talking about..." Kaethus said finally, his voice low and saddened, staring back up and he moved his hand up to pull the hand away. "Aaron." He sounded more urgent now. "It's this s**t around here, isn't it? Making you think this?"
He was shaking his head. "You're my big brother Aaron. My rock. Tank. Friend." Damn those tears were closer now. "I don't have anyone else." One or two might have slipped from his eyes. "There is nothing weak about you. You keep me going. Look at everything you've done for me. You protect me just fine like this, when we're together like this. Remember? The Lazaris BROTHERS."
Kaethus shook his head again. "I know it sounds cheesy or weird but it takes both of us to really do what we do and function. Ever since then." A cold, silent moment passed between the two when he said it.
"You are my family. And yeah, dad... mom... they said a lot of things but we're what's left." He allowed himself to cry a little. "How can you hinder me? I'm an idiot, you know that. I've done horrible things, usually to myself. I got myself caught before jail. Nearly killed in jail. And now all of this... s**t here..."
He took in a deep breath and stared back into his eye. "You're the one who knows what's going on, all of the time. I just jump places and hope for the best. I say I can do anything but deep down... I'm nothing like you. I'm not physically strong or mentally strong. I would have died 100 times over if you weren't there."
He choked on a sob and shook his head, pulling his hand back. "So let's just keep going, just like we always have. You and me. Out of this fog, out of this hospital. Just... somewhere. Yeah, it's not like it was but...." His eyes finally closed as the tears flowed and he grabbed onto him in a hug. "Don't ever think that about yourself!" Kaethus just wanted his brother really, that and living were the two things he concerned himself with.
"I just want to leave. It's not good for us here." His blue eyes looked back to the hospital. "Maybe not there either, maybe not beyond but... eventually something gets better. You taught me that." There was a soft smile and another tug on his hand. "So please. If you really want to protect me, be yourself and let's get the ******** out of here, okay?"

It was the truth, the hidden truth, and it was so embarrassing to bring it up when he is suppose to be his rock, his tank.All of the weirdness that was going on here was making him think that way. Aaron was still looking away from him in his shame, but he was listening clearly about everything.
Slowly, he was look turning to look back at him again. He saw the tears in Kaethus' eyes as he spoke of how he had kept him alive and out of trouble all of this time. Even after when their parents had died too . . . which was the toughest ever. When Aaron was hurt, and missing his eye from the fire, he tried so hard to make sure that they remain together since that was so important.
". . . really Kaethus?" He couldn't help but to ask if he really was that strong. Lately he felt that he wasn't at all to him and felt that he could have done more. Somehow, he wish he did do more for him. But he also wish that Kaethus could see that he is strong and knew how to handle himself. Like back at the casino he was able to get himself out, and also when he lay the most hits to an Undying while he was blind! That was something amazing.
The choke on a sob really killed him on the inside, releasing his tight grip on his hand, and nods at him silently. Finally, he smiles and hugs him tightly, not minding at all with all the tears cascading down and staining his orange jumpsuit. "Okay . . . we'll go somewhere else where we can be safe." That soft smile of his made him feel so much better as he held his hand. "I don't know where that place is really, but we'll find it and be away from the craziness." He follow him, thinking that needing his brother like how the voice had told him before . . . wasn't really a bad thing at all. Because sometimes, Kaethus really does save his life so many times before just like this.
