Application: Walter Sullivan, Silent Hill 4

[11assumption21]

[[This Walter is taken from about midway through Silent Hill 4, mainly because I go with a certain fan theory that Walter and the younger verson of Walter seen around the game split into two people after the attempt on victim 20/21, and I'm going to use both as one. Plus I wouldn't want to deal with what ending to pull him from had I taken him from

Primavera is a doll. That's slang for Lilim, what she really is. She's not the same kind of doll as the little rag thing Walter is offering. Nonetheless, there's perhaps a certain kinship.

She gives the thing almost a sympathetic glance -- insofar as Lilim ever feel sympathy -- before turning her attention to Walter's application. A pink-lacquered fingernail taps the parchment, the red note.

"What did you do with the hearts?"

[11assumption21]

It's been a while (ten years) since Walter has been in contact with the outside world and it's inhabitants, his usual company being ghosts and monsters, so he is taken off guard by Primavera's appearance. There is no need to tell her things, but this isn't his world so it probably wont do any harm either.

"A ritual," was his simple reply.

[missprimavera]

Absently she tugs a lock of bottle-blonde hair as she thinks about this. "What kind of ritual?"

[11assumption21]

"A religious ritual to revive God. The ten hearts were needed for the first part of the 21 sacraments." The second part involved Walter's suicide and his own revival.

There was another Sorting getting started in the room. Naomi, newly Sorted herself, decided she might as well do her first (second?) before heading out into the rest of the place.

One look at the Hufflepuff answer and she was decided. Yet another killer wasn't getting in to have a coffee klatsch with Kira and Beyond Birthday if she could do anything to stop it.

"Ok, ok, WOAH." Evan waved his hands as if trying to dispel The Crazy. "What are you, a grown man, doing with a rag doll? Like, yeah, you don't need it anymore, but you know what? Neither do I! I haven't since I was, like, fifteen!"

"And what's THIS!?" Evan pointed to the Hufflepuff answer. "Are you, like, a creative writer or something? Oh gawd, spare me. Every guy I meet nowadays is a writer now. They're like the new bass player. Only they don't have to have any social skills, instead of just minimal social skills. So, ok, con crit? Interesting plot, but spoons are just not scary. Have you seen No Country for Old Men? Or as I like to call it, No Co Ol Mo? Like Yoko, but awesome. Anyways, that guy had this weird... cow thing. I think you should go with that." Evan pushed the paper away, his good deed for the day? Done.

[11assumption21]

"The rag doll was a gift." Walter looks at what Evan is babbling about next and chuckles.

"That's not creative writing, that's a note left behind from a now dead man," before I killed him. "As for the spoon, I was in jail at the time and needed to die. Prison isn't the best place to shop for weapons, you should know." Getting a soup spoon two inches into your own neck isn't as easy as it may sound.

"Well, yeah, I would assume so. That's how kids get their rag dolls, right? Unless it's from some white van or something, that's pretty much the nice way." Evan frowned. "Or you could be a mean big sister who beats up her brother and TAKES it, but you know what? That's ok, I didn't like dolls much anyways." He shrugged and continued on.

"Ok, yeah, I get it. You're being all viral with your marketing. You probably hope that if you post it on enough billboards, it will drum up interest? Wow, you are so Colverfield right now." Evan bet Cloverfield washed its hair, at least. And oooh, JAIL. "Wentworth Miller does it better, honey. Miller does it better."

[11assumption21]

"I was an only child." Walter's parents abandoned him the day he was born.

"Believe what you wish," because I don't know what you're talking about anymore. Cloverfield?

Selvetarm had no objection to the religious provided they worshipped him (and oftentimes Lolth through him, but that couldn't be helped). He was also of the opinion that simple suicide without taking out anyone else in the process, in the manner of a trail of bodies left behind by an amok runner, was rather pointless. However, one detail caught his attention somewhat. "With a spoon? Did you always use such creative weaponry?"

[11assumption21]

"I use what's available, and the only thing I had then was a soup spoon."

The suicide was so that he could continue with the last ten victims, so it wasn't as simple as one may think.

[spiderthatwaits]

Selvetarm would probably still have expressed contempt with the whole thing, in the way of someone who was perhaps not entirely convinced he'd never have done anything like that.

"I see." This addressed... "Your god is said to be created by mortals?"

It was generally the other way around where he'd come from. Various myths had it that elves came from Corellon's shed blood, for example, and that Yondalla had put together the halflings with traits from other races that she'd liked the look of. Selvetarm hadn't given much thought to what they would've been gods of before that.

[11assumption21]

"Yes, but She lost her strength before creating paradise." Took everlasting life away from humans, made day and night, made many gods and angels, outlined the path to salvation, but there is no paradise until the Holy Mother's return.

"O-kay," Demyx muttered to himself. "That falls under the category of 'too creepy for words'." Still, he couldn't help but ask... "What happened to eleven?"

((OOC: Reposted to fix typo.))

[11assumption21]

"You're looking at eleven. Suicide." Creepy? Yes, and insane.

[soggynotecards]

Of course I am. I wondered if I was actually going to run into a genuine psycho. "So. Uh. How'd you manage to kill somebody after you died?" Demyx asked, inwardly cursing his morbid curiosity.

[11assumption21]

"Naturally, I came back to life to do that. Do I look like a ghost to you?"

Okay, so this isn't Walter's real body, but at least he doesn't float about like the other victims.
