oo5; video, backdated to Darkness of November 2nd

Nov 03, 2011 12:20

[ Darkness. In the background you can hear the soft chittering of the monsters. There's the sound of an Eight-legs, then a low moan of a Mutate. Are you wondering if some poor bastard is now dead and has dropped his NV, inadvertently switching it on ( Read more... )

[He has no response at first; but as he watches that familiar shadow, he feels something stir deep down inside. In his mind's eye he does not see Batman. Instead he sees the water. He sees himself staring into it, into his own reflection. White skin, green hair....a bat....

....He blinks and looks again at the video, at those familiar movements, that familiar voice. Same as that day at the river outside ACE, he feels the scream before it comes. The ripping, painful scream that he knows signifies the beginning of his lunacy.

"Nnnnnnnnn-"]

[When the video clicks on, the feed is untraceable and it's the dead eyes of the gunslinger's mask that stare into the camera.]

No?

You must be the Batman, then.

[voice] kingofrooks November 3 2011, 06:55:24 UTC

I am, and you are Zulfiqar.

The one with the poisonous blood.

[voice] he_is_wild November 3 2011, 07:00:03 UTC

No.

Just Zulfiqar.

[He turns his head, feeling dizzy.]

I had heard people here came back from the dead. I did not believe it was truly so.

[voice] kingofrooks November 3 2011, 10:04:13 UTC

It happens by chance; a whim of the Core.

[ Pause, then- ]

I see you do not deny that trait.

[video] he_is_wild November 3 2011, 17:29:30 UTC

It is the mask, not I, that is poisoned. The poison I do not deny.

kingofrooks November 3 2011, 23:47:53 UTC

The mask?

he_is_wild November 3 2011, 23:59:47 UTC

A final line of defense if I am disarmed.

That it was filled with blood is because I was wounded.

[Curious tilt of the head.]

You were there. We were overpowered. Why did you not intervene?

kingofrooks November 4 2011, 02:06:28 UTC

Your argument is unconvincing.

[ Ignoring the question. ]

he_is_wild November 4 2011, 02:16:44 UTC

As you say.

[With great patience]

You did not answer my question.

kingofrooks November 4 2011, 02:31:26 UTC

Why should I?

he_is_wild November 4 2011, 02:43:30 UTC

I may have died. The kids may have died. And with help we could have taken him in.

[His voice is calm, even.]

kingofrooks November 4 2011, 02:49:45 UTC

How do you plan to take in a man with unlimited powers, and have him stay in?

Do tell.

he_is_wild November 4 2011, 02:58:44 UTC

I understand there are guards they have stationed in such places known as Voids.

kingofrooks November 4 2011, 03:10:29 UTC

How uncertain.

he_is_wild November 4 2011, 03:12:49 UTC

Am I wrong?
