Eighteeenth PSI

Sep 17, 2010 21:01

((I apologize in advance for being a drama whore. Indulge me. I am sorry.))

[The inhalation of Luke's hallucinatory gas has left Lucas in a terrible state. This is what he sees. The island of Tanetane . . . The island of nightmares and delusions. And though he knows that the images he sees must be false, he cannot help but succumb to his dark ( Read more... )

[ Wy opens her door as she hears the scream. ]

H-hey, what's goin' on out here?! Why're ya going through our mail? Learn manners!

a_gentle_boy September 18 2010, 01:25:50 UTC

[Lucas ignores her. Envelope after envelope goes fluttering to the ground as he continues to leaf through them quickly and silently. When he has gone through all the mail, he continues to make the same motion nonetheless.]

[ She slowly walks up to him. ]

I spoke to ya so ya gotta answer me. Hey! [ She kicks him, but only lightly. ]

[As Wy approaches, Lucas looks up and meets her gaze. His face is blank. And there is suddenly something in his empty hands and on the ground all around him.

They are postcards.

Here is Lucas at age 2, posing with his twin brother Claus.
Here is Lucas at age 6, together with his family as he takes a bite of an omelet.
Here is Lucas at age 8, torturing a cat.
Here is Lucas at age 10, smiling as a brown-haired woman dies before him
Here is Lucas at age 12, stealing from Thomas's store.
Here is Lucas at age 14, learning a dark and insidious power.
Here is Lucas at age 16, attacking a boy with his dark PSI.
Here is Lucas at age 20, a general in the Pigmask Army.
Here is Lucas at age 24, murdering his friends in cold blood.
Here is Lucas at age --

. . . The scream sounds again.]

[ Wy stares in shock. ]

L-Lucas... What's this? Why would ya... [ She tries to get closer to him. ] A-and quit screaming! ... If... that was you...

[He doesn't seem to register her words, continuing to shuffle through the postcards that document the life of his alternate self. He leaves the mail scattered on the floor and slowly closes the mailbox.

Then he smashes it as hard as he can with his bare hand. Ouch.]

That's not me.

wybrows September 18 2010, 05:17:57 UTC

[ Wy flinches when she sees him smash the mailbox. ]

You're... you're going to be paying for that! [ That was more of an automatic response to show she's not scared. Even though she is. ]

The scream? Didn't sound like ya. But... the person in the postcards... He looked like you. How old are ya?

a_gentle_boy September 18 2010, 05:20:32 UTC

. . . ?

[He seems to realize that somebody else is there for the first time. And also for the first time, he recognizes her for who she really is.]

. . . . . . . . Wy?

[And dream and reality begin to mingle. Lucas can't help but frown as he tries to make sense of what he is seeing.]

Um. Um . . . I'm . . . thirteen. . . .

wybrows September 18 2010, 05:26:04 UTC

[ She relaxes a bit when he seems to become a bit more normal, at least recognising her. ]

That's right.

But... the postcards. They had ya older 'n stuff. D-dunno where they came from.

a_gentle_boy September 18 2010, 21:23:17 UTC

[Lucas's nightmare is shifting in his mind, attempting to accommodate the inclusion of a little girl who was never supposed to be there.]

That's not me. It's supposed to be me, but it isn't.

[Lucas glances down at his bleeding hand before applying Lifeup to himself.]

Are you going to turn into a monster and attack me now?

wybrows September 18 2010, 21:27:59 UTC

Of course not. I'm a country, not a monster, stupid. A-anyway, stop actin' so weird, got it? Though it's not like I'm scared or anything...

a_gentle_boy September 18 2010, 21:35:03 UTC

You're the one who's acting weird. You're not supposed to be here. Why are you here, Wy?

. . . Everyone I dream about turns into a monster, so if you're trying to trick me, it's not going to work. I'll just fight you until you go away.

wybrows September 18 2010, 21:37:47 UTC

This is my house, of course I'm here. You're not s'posed to be here. ... Though I guess ya can visit me sometimes, it's not like I care.

Y-ya can't fight me! Stop jokin' around.

a_gentle_boy September 18 2010, 21:39:37 UTC

Your house . . . ?

[Lucas glances up towards where she gestured.]

Do you mean the banana? Why do you live in a banana, Wy? How did you grow it so big? And if you're going to be a monster, I get to fight you. That's how things have been since I started my journey.

wybrows September 18 2010, 21:44:46 UTC

[ Just. Looks at the house. And back at him. And back at the house. And back at him. ]

... It's not a bloody banana, idiot. Did you hit your head? Or are you playin' some stupid game. You know I'm an adult so I don't have time for games.

a_gentle_boy September 18 2010, 21:47:06 UTC

Of course it's a banana. It's got a smiley face carved into it and everything.

[Lucas frowns again as if trying to figure something out.]

If people from Mayfield are showing up in my nightmares . . . does this mean there's something I'm afraid of here that I have to fight? Is it you?
