USER: #A5211F - Bogeyman (Forward dated to the 26th)

[swordfucker]

(color)

The bogeyman that was hiding in town has finally been defeated, but it was at the cost of three lives. Dave, John and Dextera. I couldn't save them. I'm sorry.

Okuyasu and Asuka are badly injured, but are currently being treated for it. [He is too? He's bleeding all over his laptop, but it's fine.]

Dextera's body changed into something else, but the other two are still remaining. I think they both have family here, or something close. You can contact me and I'll tell you where they are, so you can arrange a burial or whatever you think is best.

I take full responsibility for this. There's still going to be a defense force meeting at the beginning of next month, so we can talk about it then. I know there could still be people missing from the werewolf thing, too, so keep your eyes open for them, alive or otherwise. If you have questions, I'll try to answer them.

That's all.

[Of course, after this, he'll be in his room at his laptop, so people are free to come bother him. He's covered in blood, most notably a stab wound straight through his chest at the heart, and it looks like he's only partially been able to deal with that. He's not bleeding out as quickly? But his healing isn't working. He's only just barely come back to consciousness from Mahiru taking over.]

It was my fault. I came up with the plan and organized the group. I told them what to do. I didn't save them in time. Do you think I shouldn't take responsibility for something like that?

It's on me.

[eusford]

[ WOW THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR............ LOOKS AT THE CAMERA LIKE HE'S IN THE OFFICE ]

I'm not saying you shouldn't.

Unconditional kindness makes us bloodsuckers sick, you know?
From my perspective you're nothing more than a hypocrite trying to find peace of mind.
But in the -- very unfortunate -- days of having to stick to you, I know better than to think this is you trying to grasp at any forgiveness.
It's disgusting.

[ It's terrifying.

He kinda wants to kill him??????? O Lord, save Guren. ]

All those people you mentioned are coming back though, aren't they?

[swordfucker]

[Do it put him out of his misery]

People don't come back from the dead.

[That's almost pointed, with how he types it. He knows Crowley knows what he's done before, but he means to say he can't here. And no one has actually died in awash, yet. Not until just the end of this month. They have no idea that death isn't permanent.]

They were family. If that makes you sick, I don't care. Everyone mourns family. They're gone, and I can't bring them back.

[eusford]

[ Crowley's two brain cells: so what you're telling me is that they're fucking dead. ]

Family.

You really think of these complete strangers as family?
At this point you're just trying to get yourself hurt.

[swordfucker]

They're not strangers. A bloodsucker like you wouldn't understand.

[eusford]

I have someone you need to meet who'd love to argue with you against that.

But that's besides the point, don't get angry just because I'm pointing out the truth.
These people aren't family to you.

[swordfucker]

They are family, and I don't care what you think. I don't have time for this.

[eusford]

It looks like you've got plenty of time on your hands when you've got your "family" with a foot in the grave.

Listen, as much as you want to say that I'm just antagonizing you, you have to at least agree that shouldering all this responsibility is going to leave you more bitter than you want to be.

[swordfucker]

[He doesn't want to believe that. He doesn't want to listen to any bit of it. None of it matters. How he feels... He just has to keep going.]

You're the only bitter one here. I'm not blind to reality, but I'm going to protect and save whoever I can. That's the place I've taken. I'm not giving up, and you can't change my mind. It doesn't matter how I end up as long as I can do that.

[eusford]

So if you're not blind to it you must know that that's awful impossible. No one's more capable of saving another person other than themselves, and making yourself that dependable will just cause the rest to grow weak.

And you'll just keep destroying yourself for never meeting your own expectations. I don't know whether to call you sad or just plain stupid.

[swordfucker]

Shut up. You don't know anything.

[eusford]

Just how many times do things need to repeat themselves until it gets through that thick skull of yours?

[swordfucker]

[Ugh, he's getting so angry that Crowley's going to hear his heartbeat from his house? Stop.]

Shut up.

[He could just stop, he should just stop, but he can't. He's furious, he has to reply, he wants to do more, and if he wasn't so beat up that he'd fall over on the way to the front door, he'd probably go find him just to get his ass kicked.

So, it's fine like this.]

[eusford]

I know it's a hard pill to swallow but I'm trying to crush it up and give you bits and pieces.

No one else will be this honest with you.

[swordfucker]

Nothing is going to stop me or change my mind, so you're wasting your time. Fuck off.

[eusford]

Well when you've lost what's "important" to you again don't say I didn't warn you.

[swordfucker]

Not everyone has to screw up like you did, vampire.

[eusford]

You think that just because you took that second chance that you're any better?

[swordfucker]

I never said I was better. I'm just saying I won't give up.

Why don't you talk to me when I'm not bleeding out. It would be real convenient.

[eusford]

Idiot.

Fine, fine.
If you feel stupid, weak, or powerless, just remember that I am not. I'm out here.
And I just might get bored one of these days.

[swordfucker]

[THIS ASSHOLE... Guren is being forced to take longer to reply, since SOME people want him alive he guesses, but. He does reply eventually.]

You're the only one who thinks I'm weak. You can focus on that all you want, but you'll be underestimating me. Just because you're physically stronger doesn't mean that I'd lose every time.

Don't test me.

[eusford]

[ i forgot guren was kinda dying in this thread wow ]

I dunno.
That sounds like I'd win every time.

But fine, fine~
I'll leave you alone so you can rest up, get healed, and still be as weak as you are now.
If you need me you know where to find me.
