Chapter 02: Mayfield's Hunger Games

[wyvernjustice]

[A: 1336 Benny RoadCormag woke up like what he found to be the routine in this place. Just walking downstairs to see whatever his not!parents were doing. Today was different though.

[She knew something was wrong when she woke up. She knew there was something really wrong when she went to blow something up to release the pent-up anxiety from knowing something was wrong. So she did what any paranoid, drugged super hero would do.

She stood in the kitchen, every single knife or sharp pair of scissors in the home spread across the counter before her. And she took time to sharpen every single one of them. She had her gun from the hardware store too of course, resting close within her reach. Just in case.

[It didn't take him very long to find his not!mom with all the knives. What fortunate timing on his part.]

Did you get a letter too?

[tictickboom]

[That would be a reasonable explanation, wouldn't it be? She barely glances over her shoulder at him.]

No, but that would explain what all the ☠☠☠☠ ☠☠☠☠ phone calls are about.

[doctor_creep]

[Now, now. He's just excited at the display of raw human emotions.]

You don't, or you claim not to, I wonder?

[wyvernjustice]

I've seen enough killing in my lifetime.

[wyvernjustice]

[A small nod from the other end.]

It's the only way.

[wyvernjustice]

[He had been thinking about this himself. There were some things that he decided that he certainly wouldn't do.]

I have a list of boundaries.

[wyvernjustice]

Did you receive the letter?

[It could seem like he's deflecting- but he doesn't think the princess needs to be concerned if she wasn't chosen.]

[wyvernjustice]

I'm preparing to go after my target. [This one phrase is all he thought was needed.]

phone.

[madeofstoic]

[ Ah, it's you.

A short pause. ]

Y'should be.

[wyvernjustice]

I'll accept whatever consequence my actions have.

[madeofstoic]

...Y'r sure y'r gonna do this?

[wyvernjustice]

I'll go as far as I can will myself to.
