[Accidental(?) Video 28]

[It's hard to tell if Lucian intended to start recording this or not. If he did, he's lost whatever train of thought he planned to share.

The jacketless swordsman is slumped against a wall, sweating and trembling, in a room that's way too dark for the time of day. Only his paper-pale skin keeps him from completely blending in with the shadows. The ( Read more... )

P-Please calm down!

[ so very concerned. ]

I... is there anything I could do to help you?

Tell me what's trying to hijack my brain! Tell me how to make it stop!

[Whatever it is, it's tearing his mind in two. He doesn't want to turn, he wants to keep his memories and emotions and humanity. But he also wants power - needs power, like food and water and breathing, and there's just so much of it waiting to be unlocked if he would just let go--]

No! I won't do it! I don't want it, I don't need it, not like that!

[ her hand covers her mouth in shock, and she stares at Lucian with overwhelming concern. ]

I'm sorry I can't-- I don't know what's making you like this.

I don't know how to help you.

[He groans, scratching at his head until he draws blood.]

Make it stop...make it stop! Somebody make it stop!

[This continues for a few minutes longer, then the feed ends suddenly when he drops the Forge. Don't expect any more replies.]

[Don't you DARE give in, Lucian. They are not going to go through this again for real.]

[He's trying, trying so hard, but the human part of his mind is split in half and he can't get it under control. No prizes for guessing which side his more vampiric thought processes are on.

And can you really blame it? All that pure, raw power ready to be claimed...he needs it, needsitneedsitneedsit, and it's right there just waiting for him. It'll be so quick and easy...]

Stop it...stop it...leave me alone, stop making me want this!

[Video] poweroflegend August 29 2011, 00:17:58 UTC

Hold fast. Stay where you are. I'm on my way.

[Sure not easy being his friend, if you can even call him that. But he tries.]

[Video] lightofvengence August 29 2011, 01:40:59 UTC

[There's nothing in the way of a real response, just more desperate pleading. Eventually he lets go of the Forge and the feed terminates.

When Trevor arrives, the room is empty.]

Lucian!

[ He's worried now. He'd rather not have to worry about something new hitting the city... ]

[ video ] lightofvengence August 28 2011, 02:36:50 UTC

I don't want it...I don't want it...I don't want it!

[But he does. He wants it so bad, wants all that power. He needs power - any power, all of it, more of it, more more more more more!

He keeps clawing away at his head, the tips of his fingers and nails turning dark and wet as they start to draw blood.]

Get out of my head! Leave me alone!

[ video ] swordofmiltia August 28 2011, 07:08:34 UTC

Lucian, please. You must calm yourself!

[ Almost a plea. He isn't the expert on these things, after all. Would be nice to be one of those people who can locate people on some sixth sense... ]

[ video ] lightofvengence August 28 2011, 08:13:47 UTC

[Keeping calm is hard to do when your free will's been hijacked. It's taking everything he has just to retain this much control.]

Stop it, stop it, I don't want it, stop tempting me...it's not worth it, I don't want it...I want my mind back, give it back!

[video] inpiecesofcloud August 27 2011, 09:15:03 UTC

Who are you taking to, Luli?

[video] lightofvengence August 28 2011, 02:42:33 UTC

It's in my head, it's controlling my thoughts, I can't get it out! Leave my mind alone! Get out get out get out!

[His thoughts are so jacked up from trying to hold off this ungodly thirst for power that he doesn't even notice who he's talking to, much less the nickname.]

[video] inpiecesofcloud August 28 2011, 06:07:20 UTC

[She tilts her head, curious. And maybe the slightest bit weirded out.]

I don't think that makes sense.

[video] lightofvengence August 28 2011, 08:02:31 UTC

Something's controlling my thoughts, trying to make me do something I don't want...it wants me to turn into a vampire! I won't do that, but I can't get it to stop...

[He groans. Something's messing around with his mind, and on top of that he's as sick as the proverbial dog. Coherence is not his strong point right now.]

It will pass.

[Video] lightofvengence August 28 2011, 20:00:50 UTC

[That's all well and good, but he's getting mentally torn to shreds right now and the mind can only handle so much stress before breaking. He might not last long enough for this to go away.]

Make it stop...make it stop...make it stop...

[Video] halcyonthird August 28 2011, 20:19:10 UTC

[She is heading your way, Lucian.]

How?

[...and a moment later.]

What preceded this?

[Video] lightofvengence August 29 2011, 01:32:37 UTC

I don't know...I don't know...I want it to stop, someone make it stop!

[After a few minutes he drops the Forge and the feed cuts.

He's gone by the time Irene gets there.]
