[Curiosity having gotten the best of him, Edward has been making it a point to explore the lower-level decks on the ship, learning the territory as best he can
( Read more... )
[He feels... stuck to the spot. He wouldn't have been able to move if he tried. He finds himself forcing his eyes to the floor, only to look up a few minutes later.]
[He stumbles to his feet for a moment, his eyes still darting to the door nervously. He can still see it, hear it, smell the memories from within that door.]
But I could smell it, down to the tang of alchemy in the air. Redd can't possibly know what that smells like, how it feels on your skin.
[He feels his back press against uneven ground - it takes him a moment to realize that Kevas had dragged him to a staircase. Leaning his head gingerly against one of the steps, he presses the heels of his palms against his eyes.]
I know. It be lookin' real and it be soundin' real and it be feelin' real but it ain't be real mon. It just be Redd. He be usin' some illusion and tryin' to get into joor head!
[Whether that's actually true or not Kevas has no idea. Redd just seems like a good person to blame no matter what happens.]
Dis boat ain't be above usin' sometin' joo love to tear joo apart but whatevah game it be playin' joo can't let it win.
It's just... I don't know. Intellectually, I know it's not real. You can't relive a part of your twice. That's impossible. But goddammit, he knew every last detail of it, and that's what bothers me the most. How far can this bastard get into your head? He shouldn't know most of this stuff. The only other person who knows that much is in my world right now.
[Commentlog] Well howdy doo, peepsmissmimmiJune 17 2010, 04:16:00 UTC
[And from the staircase descends Mimmi, looking quite concerned. She's concentrating on the ground, because hell if she's looking at those freaky, possessed doors or whatever. They could be portals to evil dimensions or something. You just never know on this boat.
But now she knows why she never came down to this deck.
She spots the other two quickly, considering Edward is on the stairs anyways and Kevas is kind of hard to miss, and stops a few steps away]
[Commentlog] Oh hai tharpimp_hatJune 17 2010, 04:23:31 UTC
[She looks familiar. That's the girl who snuck up on him at the beach isn't it? It doesn't matter. He can't worry about her right now. Ed is the one having a breakdown here.]
He be shook up bad. Saw sometin' in dat door. Probably sometin' he nevah wanted to see again.
[That's how it was for him when he looked in there.]
Re: [Commentlog]missmimmiJune 20 2010, 00:30:48 UTC
[Mimmi gingerly sits down on one of the steps and sighs. She tries to speak and gently as possible]
Sometimes there are just horrid things on this ship. It is unfortunate, but it is fact. It will be all right; we will just leave the deck. Can you stand?
[She looks over helplessly at Kevas. She highly doubts she'd be able to lift Edward herself if he can't get up himself]
Oi kiddo! What be wrong? Where joo be?

T-the doors. Deck sixteen. W-what the hell did Redd do to them? [He tiptoes around addressing what it was that bothered him.]

Hang tight mon I'll be dere soon, just don't look back at dat door!

A-alright.

When he reaches the deck he wastes no time in finding Ed and slamming that door shut.]
Alright kiddo on joor feet. We be gettin' da hell outta here.
[Kevas reaches down to help Ed to his feet. He can comfort the kid later. Right now Kevas wants to get the hell off this deck.]

Can't you see it, Kevas? You don't smell that?

[Kevas pratically drags Ed behind him until they reach the stairwell. Once they're there Kevas turns to face the teen and try to calm him down.]
Da door be gone mon. We be outta dere. Joo be safe.
[Shit how do people do this without liquor?]

C'mon, don't talk about me like I'm not even here.
W-what was that thing? Why... why the hell would someone set up something like that? What's the fucking point? [He's rambling a bit.]

Like she said, dere just be some bad shit on dis boat. It just be tryin' to break joo. Wish I could say dat be da worst of it.
[For the most part Kevas is holding his tongue. He's got a lot more to say on that subject but none of it would be helpful at the moment.]
