Den nodded and followed you. You patched him up like a real good Samaritan.
You swore that you heard Den's voice in your mind. He was staying as still as possible.
"Ah," he said as you finished up. "Thanks. Now, off to your workplace. Reshy and Favreu died there from what you remembered."
You saw a few specks of white on his and your clothes.

Biography: In the past, he lived with his moderate family whose parents work as farmers. He discovered his superpower while playing hide-and-seek in his school with his friends. He made ice in the ground. Fortunately, he was hiding in an empty room and tried to melt it, which worked. No one discovered it. He is responsible, often putting himself at fault, and moderately kind. He lacks self confidence. Present day, he's a 9th grade student doing fine.

You didn't have your bag with you, so you went to his office.

"Cason's probably there somewhere. Watch out."

When you opened the door to Mr. Reagul's office, it was quiet enough that Cason and Reagul didn't notice you opening it.

I actually, well, you know, knock. I'm not sure why i didn't do that before.

"If you think we'll learn something there, then let's go." I try to brush the white spots off my clothes with my hands, then lead Den out of the house and to the metro, direction: the steelworks.

You headed to the steelworks. A few workers gathered to ask and see if you were okay or not.

"I want to know about Reshy and Favreu," Den said, completely in a stark tone.

"Hey!" Polish said from behind the gathering. "You can't just barge in here and demand-"

He stopped talking as he looked both left and right.

"Why are there three of you?!" he shouted.

"Reshy and Favreu. I have no time for this nonsense."

The workers backed away as Polish kept his arms close, shaking slightly as his eyes constantly looked left and right.

I actually, well, you know, knock. I'm not sure why i didn't do that before.

(I didn't know what you wanted to do, so the safest thing to assume was that you'd stay hidden.)

You knocked and saw Cason turn around in a heartbeat. You saw Reagul turn to look at you, and now both of them were frowning.

"Axorez!" Reagul said. "How did you escape? And what's the collar for?"

"Update?" Fae said.

(I wanted to blend in, but the collar seems to be easier to be seen than i thought it would)

"This collar..." I say, then place my hand on the collar and quickly say "I think i will get attacked soon," and i take my hand away from it, and say "I don't know, i had it with me when i regained consciousness. I somehow managed to escape, i do not know if they did it on purpose."

(Also, i think i'm the only one that has switched "allegiances" a lot of times. Like, this doesn't happen to others, as far as i know :/ )

"Stop it. Now!", I command Den in a decided tone. "I'll handle that."

I turn towards the workers gathered around telling them that I am fine, that it's nothing to worry about. Then I go towards Polish and tell him that Reshy and Favreu are behind what happened to me the other day (telling them it was actually Den would be stupid at this point) and that it probably has to do with the accident years ago, and that every information could help me.

Den closed his eyes for a moment.

"Fine," he said. "Go ahead."

Polish was breathing hard as he looked at you. The workers had started to go back to work, ignoring what was happening after you reassured them that you were okay. A few stayed around, though.

"Reshy.. and Favreu? They died in an accident. Um, I wouldn't know much about them. I knew they were really good friends-" Polish said. "Hephaestus, how are they still alive?"

"They are dead," Josef said as he appeared from around a corner. "I saw the bodies myself."

"Then, Hephaestus. What's all this about? How did they make you sick?"

You saw Den sitting by, frowning really hard and getting a few epiphanies along the way.

(Well, the others didn't really care about the collar. It's only your principal.)
(Oh man, I just love how you found a way to talk to Fae with that flow.)

"What?" Fae said, then it got confusing afterwards as both Reagul and Fae talked. "Howwhat diddo youyou mean?escape? ThatIs girReagull justgoing ltoet hurt you go? DWhato youdid nyoueed msee? to come?"

You heard Reagul snicker as Fae kept talking. "Situation!" Then it got confusing. "NOrow! arKid,e youpdateu sent bmey them?"

Name: Scott Richards
Sex: Male
Age: 28
Superpower: Dark Psychological Manipulation
---
Biography: Once an unremarkable software engineer, Scott developed extreme schizophrenia, or so he thought. What at first made him dangerous to others, became his solace as the rest of the world abandoned him. Listening to the voices and searching in the darkest corners of his mind. Now, he is back, having adopted an extremely nihilistic view for everything and calling himself "The Dark Prince" when out of control. He has the power to terrify people with his thoughts by tapping into their minds or create insecurities for them. Mental attacks can cause his adversaries to completely collapse by crippling them, or decaying their minds. His corrupting influence extends to himself every time he uses his power.
Appearance: Tall and very slim man, usually seen wearing a suit. Short black hair and brown eyes. Clean shaved with a discreet tattoo of a dark symbol on the top of his left hand. A larger one on his back.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
You turned to see the same man standing before you.

Αs I am under the corrupting influence of my power, murderous intent clouds my judgement. Using one of the kitchen knives in my possession, I immediately attack the man, going for his throat and hoping to kill him swiftly by using the element of surprise.

Alas, someone has replied. I thought I would leave this RPG to rot by not replying but, Doombreed; you brought it back.

"Hagh-"

The man moved out in time to only get cut at his shirt.

He pushed you away exceedingly powerfully, sending you flying to the fence of the bungalow. Your back hit against the wall.

(-3 HP)

"You lil' brat," the man said as he walked up to you. He cracked his knuckles as he walked towards you. Being the perceptive guy you were, you also noticed a tinge of fear from his face.

Sorry, I'm a bit busy and forgot to reply...

It's fine if you're busy; you're not obligated to play my game. You play because you want to have fun. If my game is dying because everyone is busy, maybe it's supposed to be this way. But welcome back.

"I'm not exactly sure about it either, I just know they're not dead dead. Den here could probably tell you more about it." Turning to Den, I ask "Would it maybe help to know where they were buried?"

"Huh?" Den broke out of one of his epiphany. "Polish, Josef, Paul, Yoren."

The four of them turned to look at Den. You also recognised Paul and Yoren as they appeared from the small crowd of workers. They were friends with Reshy and Favreu.

"The four of you attended their funeral. Did any of you actually see their bodies?"

They turned to look at one another, shaking their heads.

"Hep, what exactly happened to their bodies on the day they died? Were they torn to shreds?"

(Oh man, I just love how you found a way to talk to Fae with that flow.)

Kinda just popped up that time, but thank you.

"What?" Fae said, then it got confusing afterwards as both Reagul and Fae talked. "Howwhat diddo youyou mean?escape? ThatIs girReagull justgoing ltoet hurt you go? DWhato youdid nyoueed msee? to come?"

You heard Reagul snicker as Fae kept talking. "Situation!" Then it got confusing. "NOrow! arKid,e youpdateu sent bmey them?"

(I come across this every time if I have two friends who keep talking over themselves.)

(Okay that complicates things. Let me guess what they're trying to say)
(Reagul:
1. How did you escape?
2. Is that girl just going to let you go?
3. What did you see?
4. -
5. Or are you sent by them?)
(Fae:
1. What did you mean?
2. (not sure) Reagul just hurt you?
3. Do you need me to come?
4. Situation!
5. Now! Kid, update me!)
(Well that was quite the jumbled mess...)

I tell Reagul, "No, I'm not sent by them. I think they might be doing surveilliance with this collar, but i don't know. I tried to take it off, but it didn't work the first time. Let me try it again..." I pretend to try to take off the collar, but not with actually taking it off but also enable me to talk smoothly to Fae for a good 10 seconds. While doing that, I rapidly(the fastest i can) say to Fae, "Come here! I don't think i can hold on for too long, but we haven't fought." I then release my hands, and say "It didn't work. I escaped from an area near the hospital" I then stall for time by telling parts of the areas i know and a path of escape that didn't actually exist.

"No, not at all. We were hit by leaking molten metal. Not enough in my case to kill me, and the parts that were hit transformed into ash and healed over time, which is why I don't have any scars. They were less lucky, and so severely burned that they died; at least, that is what we all thought."

"Where were they buried?" Den asked.

"I know," Josef said. "Do you want to go there?"

Den nodded. "Who's coming?"

You saw Polish, Josef and Paul stepping forward. Yoren was staying back, shaking his head.

Den just went outside, and the three of them followed. You followed them too.

You passed by the metro station and the city centre, slowly apparent that Reshy and Favreu were buried in a nearby cemetery. It wasn't obvious to anyone, either because no one cared about a graveyard or that it had the colours of the city, grey and bleak.

You and the group were pretty much alone as you entered the cemetery. As soon as you did, the skies turned bluish green.

"What's this?" Den said as he looked up. "Everyone, watch out."

The three of them hid behind the tombstones. You and Den stood out like a sore thumb.

"Who enters?" You heard a voice in the skies.

My gosh, I didn't check the next page.

After all that, you heard Fae saying, "Alright, I'm coming."

Cason went over to you and got out his pet goo. He turned it into a hacksaw before you heard glass crashing into the room. You saw Fae sent a fist charged with electricity, punching straight through Mr. Reagul. He let out a choked gasp as he looked at his chest. The whole fist went through.

Cason frowned and made the hacksaw goo fly towards Fae as he brought up his fist against you.
