Feeling evil

[eagleofautozam]

[Video or Action]

It’s amazing, isn’t it? How one good nights sleep can totally change your view of the world. I was such a fool! I was actually beginning to consider settling down here!

[Another voice, more strained and filled with pain interrupts. ]

No, please! Don’t!

Please, don’t?

[Oh, how he would love to stop you, but he physically can't right now.]

Eagle...what do you think you're doing? What's wrong with you?!

[eagleofautozam]

[Lol, a tag-team handcuff intervention. I can see that going well! ^,^ ]

Wrong? There is nothing wrong with me. I just finally found a way to leave the City. Clearly if there is no City at all we wouldn’t be trapped here.
Isn’t that nice, Jack? You will finally be free of the City.

[sometimes_boe]

[Very well. ^^; Oh yeah, about that leaving thing? He's not so certain he wants to do that anymore.]

You're not one to hurt others; you're cursed, aren't you?

Look, just leave the fountain alone, better yet, leave the people alone.

[eagleofautozam]

[Eagle doesn’t want to leave anymore either. Silly curse is just making him think he does. ]

Cursed? No, I don’t think so. I am finally thinking clearly about the situation.

[At least talking to Eagle does seem to be stalling him. ]

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before. It really is such a simple answer!

[sometimes_boe]

[Yes! Stalling! He'll keep trying to do that.]

What is? What's the answer? Something about the fountain and the City, right?

[eagleofautozam]

You weren’t here when we froze the fountain water and tried to use the fountain itself as a portal to leave the City. That fountain is very connected to how the City works… so if I destroy it then maybe it will destroy the City as well.

[sometimes_boe]

But...if you destroy the city, you'll be destroying yourself too. You don't want that right? Makes it kin of hard to leave.

[eagleofautozam]

[He has no qualms about admitting this today. Normally he would hide this from people. ]

I am dying anyway. At least this way I wouldn’t have to worry about being trapped in the City forever. Even if I am dead it will be nice to just be free of this place and finally away from all of the pain.
Besides, I would be helping so many people escape the City at the same time.

[sometimes_boe]

[Ow. Ow. Ow.]

Eagle...don't say that. Please. Death is no escape and it's nothing you should be considering.

[eagleofautozam]

I am sorry if that is upsetting, but it is the easiest way.

[That fountain is beginning to look interesting again. He starts walking towards it. ]

I could free everyone and end the legacy of this city forever. I consider that something worth dying for.

[sometimes_boe]

[He's getting desperate.]

Please, Eagle....don't do this. There are people who are happy here. I don't want to see you die.

Once this curse is over, you won't want to do this either, I know you don't really want to do it now.

[eagleofautozam]

Calm down, Jack. If this is distressing for you just turn off the video. I’m sure the whole thing will be over soon and you won’t even have time to wonder what happened.

[Scanning the fountain before acting against it. Just to make sure how many explosives should be used for the best result. ]

[sometimes_boe]

I can't just turn off the video, damn it. Even if you did destroy the city, I'd still live...I'd still know.

Please, Eagle, listen to me.

[Anything to distract him.]

[eagleofautozam]

That’s right… You would still be trapped here, but floating out in the space that was the City…

[Oooo this actually bothers him. ]

I’m sorry Jack. I won’t be able to free you after all…

[sometimes_boe]

I don't want to be saved, Eagle. There are people I care about in this city.

[Oh, if only he could actually do something?

[eagleofautozam]

Then at least you can be happy to know that the others, those you care about, will be freed.

[Look bombs! Three innocent looking little marbles that Eagle pulls out from his cape and prepares to toss into the fountain. ]
