Inheritance

[action, Makeout Point]
[She stands alone at the highest point of the peak, where the rock face descends into a sheer, steep cliff.  Her gaze is drawn downwards, towards a sight that only she can see.  Down into the tragedy of her past and the wreckage that had changed her life forever.]

Alright.  I'll humor you.  What do you want me to say?  That

[Just following her up the hill.]

SUSAN.

[deaths_heritor]

...Hello, Grandfather.

[Susan hardly spares him a glance as she menaces the extremely dangerous and highly unfortunate... tree.]

Do you see him, too? It's quite gruesome, isn't it?

[For in Susan's vision... the remains of her father are long-rotting, bloodied, and altogether horrifying.]

[likescats]

[Just....quietly walks over. And looks over at the tree gravely]

...YES.

TELL ME SUSAN. WHAT DO YOU SEE?

[deaths_heritor]

...What, is it much different for you? The carriage is down below if you take a look. That, I'm assuming, is supposed to be F --

Do you think you could shut up for a moment? Thanks.

That is your erstwhile apprentice.

[Mart just stand back and watches. He thought he saw his scary teacher walking up here, but not sure why... obviously now it's to go crazy...]

[deaths_heritor]

[...In a horror movie, this would be the moment the screeching chord plays as Susan's head suddenly and sharply turns towards her student. Her eyes narrow.]

Ah.

I was wondering when you would join us, Mother.

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Okay that actually did kinda freak him out a bit.]

Uhm, I was just seeing what you were doing up here

with the sword.

And I ain't your mom...

[deaths_heritor]

No. You aren't.

[Susan agrees as she takes a step forward, her eyes darting between her father (apparently a tree) and Mart.]

I don't appreciate my past being drudged up. How did the town even find out about this?

[deaths_heritor]

[Susan, somehow, seems to be carrying on a different conversation.]

As if I could be upset by this. If you know what happened to them, you know what happened to me afterwards, too.

[deaths_heritor]

[The expression on her face goes from contemptuously calm to something of irritation.]

That's all you have to say? Did you want me to describe the obvious?

If this is not okay, just let me know!

[Hey there not!mom, one of your not!kids has had quite the adventure in death puzzle land. And now he's made his way here on his journey to find the Professor. To him, Makeut Point now resembles an industrial wasteland, with buzzing saws and dangerous-looking electrical cords laying around.

And then he sees her, and looks a little confused and worried. But as he can't speak to get her attention, he just watches anxiously instead.]

Totally fine!

[deaths_heritor]

...Imp?

[As Luke walks onto the scene, Susan stares at him in some mixture of surprise and disgust.]

Acute embarrassment is hardly anything to be concerned about. Go away, Imp.

[hintcoinplz]

[Luke looks confused for a moment, before shaking his head.

"I'm Luke" ...is what he'd like to say, but he can only mouth the words. Much to his irritation, he hasn't been able to talk to anyone all day.

And then he has an idea, as he goes off to fetch a stick nearby. He'll write his name in the dirt and look up at her expectantly.]

[deaths_heritor]

What?! No! ...I was sixteen years old, don't be ridiculous! I just lost my head for a bit.

[Susan, for some reason, looks repulsed. ...This may be because she sees the words 'Marry Me'.]

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine had been out for a walk when she saw...]

.....Susan?

[deaths_heritor]

And I would much prefer it if you would stop talking now.

[And Susan advances.]

[motheringnation]

......Susan?

[A-are you advancing towards her? Because you have a sword. She's just going to step over here.....away from the sword.]

[deaths_heritor]

[And she's just going to take another step forward.]

If you really want to goad me... you should really try turning into Slugger's dead body instead.
