|| &. HATRED WITHOUT DIRECTION.

It took a moment after he spoke for her to poke her head out from her hiding space. She definitely hadn’t meant to make him sad with the way she hid so fast. And while she had expected a regular guy to be there, it didn’t make her feel any different. Even after she was dead, she was still making people feel terrible. That wasn’t who Rain ever wanted to be.

“I-I thought you might be like, a ghost hunter or something.” It was an excuse, she knew that, but she was trying to make some kind of small talk. She out from her hiding space, feet barely tapping against the broken tile. If you could really call it that, anymore. “I didn’t mean to seem mean, I’m just not used to having people here. I’m sorry.”

                    “ it’s alright.  i’m not a hunter of MY OWN KIND, ” emmerick tried to joke, but it fell flat a bit.  “ i don’t want to harm you in any way, i PROMISE.  i can understand the loneliness; i live in the forest nearby.  nobody comes around. ”  he stood and floated over towards the ghostly girl.

           “The day I’m a feminist is the day I’ll be dead. HOWEVER, you’d            have to be totally fucking insane to agree with this bitch;    she’s             droning on and on about how we should  ‘abolish Father’s Day’            and how fathers never do shit. The fuck.”

           [He stops talking then - not because he’s EVER going to back down (feminism is an embarrassment within itself and that’s something he’ll stand behind) but because he’s tired. He’s tired of this movement, he’s tired of whiny girls, and he’s tired of the internet allowing them to spew their pathetic hatred. He hasn’t slept in what feels like four years and he looks like shit for it too.]

@birthedfromdarkness   ||  play with his hair yo

               [The Youtuber stiffens, shoulders raising up to his cheeks, like a frightened cat, before he loosens all at once. He adores his hair being played with, even if he doesn’t admit to it (besides a few people he knows). A long sigh passes his lips as he leans back in his chair, sliding down it while his eyes slip blissfully closed.]

                   “Dude, you don’t know how good that feels -  I’ve been editing this fucking                    feminazi video for hours and the stupid’s really starting to make me wanna                     kill myself.”

Fusion. It was always fusion. Aqua’s expression became COLD as he heard this. Obsidian needed to go out find some new ways to feel STRONG like Aqua had been starting to do, but that didn’t seem to be happening any time soon.

But he knew it would make BOTH of them feel good, so the gem on Aqua’s shoulder glowed, and he held out a hand.

     “Fine.”

                    “ i... aquamarine, you don’t seem HAPPY about this, ” obsidian caught the change in the other gem’s expression.  “ i-i—when we’re both not happy, azurite is... UNSTABLE.  i don’t need to fuse if you don’t want to.  i’ll just sleep it off. ”

It was nearing about a month, (maybe two, she wasn’t the best at tracking time), and here she still was, sitting at the edge of a pool, not letting herself too close to the water. It wasn’t as though it would do much anyways; she was dead, water couldn’t hurt her anymore. Nothing could.

Despite this fact, she got pretty scared when she heard someone else coming into the place. The last actual people in here had been those that had ended her life, considering it was an abandoned pool. The water was murky and green, tiles were falling apart, and there was a dead body—hers, that no one had found thus far. Either way, someone coming in freaked her out, and put her into a defensive position... otherwise known as hiding behind some old and rusting metal chest. Good thing she was still tiny.

                    emmerick hated the way he looked now that he was dead.  everyone RAN AWAY from him, everyone SCREAMED when they couldn’t, and some even tried to ATTACK HIM, which only made their premonitions true because then he HAD to fight back and defend himself.  it was all a horrible self-fulfilling prophecy.

     “No, I can’t. Might be able to take the          water OUT of it, though.”

Marc lowered the water so it was a bit UNDER the person’s nose, allowing them to breathe. Of course, they were FLIPPING their SHIT.

                    emmerick floated over to clamp a hand over their mouth.  “ shut up, ” he snarled, glowering down at the DEPLORABLE mess before him.  “ we’ll make this quick. ” 

     “Okay, what do we need to destroy          to make you feel safe?!”

Aquamarine was even more worried now. He’d never seen the other gem so stressed.

                    obsidian held his head in his claws, trying not to scratch himself.  “ i-i don’t know, i don’t KNOW!  i don’t even know if destroying something would HELP!  all—all i need is just to... ”

                    once the answer came to him, obsidian turned away.  no.  he would NOT use aquamarine like this; it was WRONG.

    “Obsidian? What’s wrong?”

Aqua was instantly concerned for him, quickly getting closer to the other gem.

Marc understood Emmerick wanting to KILL the helpless person so quick, he really did, but Marc wanted to do it as well.

     “At least let me HELP!”

With that, the sorcerer summoned water to swirl around the person’s head, DROWNING them. It felt good to do this again, it really did.

          he’d   decided   to   head   to   a   STILL  RUNNING  PIZZERIA .    his   new   home   was….  nice ,   one   could   say .    but   it   was   still   DARK ,   DREARY   &&   often   times  S C A R Y .    the only   time   he   could   remember   LIGHT  in   the   run   down   trap   were   the   occasional   TEENS   trying to get   a   rush   from   ADRENALINE . 

          through the  G R A P E V I N E      (  or more accurate DECAYING WALL )      he overheard   news   of   a   dave  &&  buster’s ,   supposing   to   be   a   new   &&   cool ARCADE with   FOOD .    he’d  tried  to  go  during  the  DAY ,   but   it   was so PACKED  &&  OVERWHELMING   he   could   only   make   it   ten   feet   without   getting OVERWHELMED   by   all   the   PEOPLE .    they   were   so   LOUD   with   all   the   CHILDREN … . .                                                                                        all the children … . .           memories   of   THAT  DAY   rushed   back   to   him ,   but   he’d   managed   to   push   them BACK,   not   wanting   to   cause   something   around   the   KIDS .

          he   left ,   but   only   until   N I G H T   F A L L .    once   the   sun   fell   &&   only   the   moon dimly   lit   the   city ,   he   returned .    much   like   freddy’s ,   at   night   it   was   EERIE .    loads   of   the arcade   games   were   still   ILLUMINATING   the   large   room ,   still   on     ( they must not turn them off at night ; he’d always wondered about that…. ) .    hearing   a   noise   made   the   boy TURN ,   trying   to   find   what   made   said   noise .   the   MAIN  PURPOSE   of  coming  at NIGHT   was   to      g e t   a w a y     from   all   the   PEOPLE ,   so why was someone else there?

          finally ,   in   the    light   of   the   games ,   he   spotted   a   FIGURE ,   one  much  T A L L E R than himself .   he   could   see   TWO BRIGHT LIGHTS   where   he   assumed   EYES   should   be . WHAT WERE THEY ,    he   would   wonder ,   only   to   walk   closer   upon   CURIOSITY .    they   were   near an   arcade   game          —-   one   of   fox’s   FAVOURITES   when   he   was   a   child .      “ who ‘re you ? “      he   called   out ,   building   up  a  feigned   CONFIDENCE ,   PUFFING OUT HIS CHEST to make himself appear   STRONGER   than he was      ( literally being a child in a teenagers’ body ) .

                    “ me?  i’m no-one SPECIAL, ” came the quiet, but SMOOTH reply.  the being turned to face his inquisitor fully, and his long coat FLUTTERED in some ghostly air, BILLOWING around him like an aura.  “ i didn’t realize anyone else was in here.  i just wanted to look around and EXPLORE. ” almost as if to prove his point, he motioned to the arcade game he’d been looking to play.

                    he moved closer to the young man, alighting on the ground silently.  his skin paled to from CHARCOAL to STERLING, and his eyes lost most of their glow, showcasing bright green irises.  the creature straightened out his coat with CLAWED hands, and smiled lightly.

    “Em! Stop, I can handle this myself!”  Marc demanded, grabbing the wraith by the shoulder. He really could handle this himself, with his powers.

Mojo reluctantly was scooped into the…creature’s arms. The pets were fine despite her slight anxiety she had with the odd man like creature. His cheers were almost childlike and she let him pet her letting out a soft meow, whether it was annoyance or reluctance even Mojo didnt know.

                    slowly, emmerick’s mind came back to him, and the landscape sharpened.  “ oh..., ” he looked down at the cat.  “ i... i’m SO SORRY, ” he apologized.  “ i-i’m far from home.  i lose myself a little bit when i’m disoriented. ”
