He shrugged, "You asked for it."
Mark nodded in Damien's direction, "Let's see what a good example would be...didn't he tense when there was something about tying him down..."
All of a sudden Damien (who had become rather placid due to an mp3 and a pair of headphones his sister had provided) was shouting an incomprehensible combination of curses and threats that were more than frightening as he struggled against thin air before abruptly stopping and breathing heavily, appearing almost as if he'd been strapped down to the hospital bed the way he was almost perfectly still.
Mark sighed to Clairna, "I may not be as high powered as your nightmares, but my mirages seem just as realistic. You want me to shove courtesy up my *ss then fine, I will, but I'm a very observant person and your weaknesses are plain as day to me and I can exploit them like h*ll can burn b*tch."
((poor, stupid Mark, threatening Clairna))
Alex
Seemingly out of nowhere Alex slipped a pair of blades into,her hands and pointed them at Clairna, "Your lucky I need you right now d*mn*t, but I swear I will kill you when I don't Miss Cross, and I will destroy your prescious Damienbot in front of your eyes and I'll leave him alive to keep what's left of your body. You should call ahead and reserve yourself a room in h*ll now. You'll be begging for it soon enough."
She pretty much tuned Clairna out until the mention of the nightmare bottle, "I have one to smart *ss, and you don't scare me. You used to, but now you don't and the present is what matters. Now I belive I have a small matter of monsters in a public place to attend to. Try not to grt your panties in a twist while you lose your vent okay?"
(Sunshine, lollipops, and, rainbows everywhere....

)
((That song is stuck in my head, but it is so opposite to how the mood is right now so it just made me crack up laughing, here I am writing Clairna's reply, and echoing through my head is 'sunshine, lollipops, and, rainbows everywhere...'...

At least that's what I think; that the contrast is very hilarious.:3 ))
Her laughter was so sudden, and so twisted, it would've made everyone's neck hair stand on end, with goosebumps all over them as they listened to the laughter, it was one of those things when you are walking down a narrow, dark street at night, and you thought you feel something touch you, that tiny brief moment of pure terror is what everyone would feel at least for a split secound right now, an inhuman laugh, the way Clairna was laughing, sent chills down your spine, if they didn't know better, you'd think she wasn't human at all, well maybe she sort of wasn't, it didn't help that it echoed off the walls, making it sound more twisted the more she laughed, as if everything in the world that was crazy had decided to all come together and dance along her laughter.
If they knew what she had been like before, as Alex did, how Clairna had been as a child, they'd know to put their guard up, unfortunately only those that survived the last death wave of the disease and Alex as well knew about how bad the situation was when Clairna laughed like that, Mark playing around with Damien just then, in the fragile state that she had been in, it was the last thing needed to fully snap her control over herself, and give way to her darkness.
"Like h*** can burn?" she laughed lightly for a few secounds, looking around with a silly, yet scary smile she found a knife on her person, seemingly suprised by it for a secound, like she hadn't been expecting it to be there she smiled at it fondly before suddenly lurching towards the nearest person, who was Mark, cackling in a deranged way, and slicing with the weapon, making a wound across the boy's arm.
"Make you burn, die, die, all of you die." she muttered very quietly to herself, seeing blood on the blade she licked it all off, before grinning, "Time's up for all of you." as she turned suddenly, aiming the blade, which was just a plain dagger, at Desmond, she wasn't going for any one target, it was like a cat with shiny things, she spotted one shiny thing, she went after it, then there was another, so she wanted to 'play' with that too.
This was only the start, last time her restraint have fully given way had been when she'd killed at least a million people, wiping out an entire city, albeit a very small city, before she after several days of non-stop slaughtering, had been found by a nightmare and taken into their care, though she had been too tired at the time, a child she had been then, to refuse to go.
Now she was a lot older, with a lot more stamina and training, now she'd be able to go for weeks without stopping.
(Yes, stupid Mark, that'll just make her more violent, it's like throwing petrol on a fire to try and douse it, it doesn't ever work all that well.......

Oh, and especially since she's already in a sensitive mental state....)
Hearing Alex, Clairna paused just before slicing Desmond's throat, turned away from him, who was very lucky to come out unscathed for now, turning her attention to Alex, "Cross? X marks the spot, crossing the line, the line of death, you need to cross it, goodbye."
"Pretty boy gone today, so everyone will die today, hip, hip, hooray." her tone since she had snapped had been a lilting, cold, yet sweet, unemotional tone, she had to be pulled back to normal very, very soon or she'd be stuck like this till she dropped from exhaustion, which would take at least a couple of weeks.
Running quickly towards Alex she dug the dagger she held into the girl's stomach, when the blood burst fourth Clairna laughed, some of that first laugh coming out.
Pulling the dagger out she licked the blood off the blade, "Fun is just beginning," she muttered, her eyes were dull, zoned out, like she wasn't there, as if she was sleep walking with her eyes open, unseeing her surroundings.
Aiming at Alex again she made to dive the dagger in the girl again.
(Oh goodness, Clairna just briefly reminded me of Yuno...*stares at charrie scared for a moment* Yuno is like the one anime character I've ever come across that I'm scared of...That girl(Yuno) puts psycho to a whole new level...o.O *hides* )
((I tried to hold her back, but seriously, eil Clairna was going to snap extremely soon at that point, it might as well be now and not a minute later, you know? Cause if she snapped later, then Alex wouldn't have been around and then they really would have trouble, the only one that is well enough to fix this is Alex, cause she knows Damien is the only thing that can calm Clairna down, trouble is, Damien isn't sane himself right now....But if they don't stop her soon, even Damien will be seen as another thing to cut up...D:))

((And I think I mentioned her accent in her forum, but in case you needed that to be cleared up, It sounds a bit like a mix between Italian and Russian. She comes from an island I created purely for Claud, and it's somewhere west of England. The islanders aren't that friendly and set any boats that come near on fire... So it hasn't been mapped yet. And it's tiny.))
Claudia nodded, "You're likely talking about the nightmares... And trust me, I feel horrid about not being there... I was on leave. I live in the forest every somethin' years. It's part of my heritage to live in the wild. This time I picked one a bit closer to home. You've heard of Epping Forest, right? It's right around here."
She could swear that What's-His-Name would jump in any second and break their conversation... If not blow them away.
"Yeah. I understand that completely. It's kinda like asking me to give you my bracelets. I got them from my mother as well..." She trailed off, thoughts of home returning to her. Knowing she could never return was overbearing. But she lived with the Dreams now.
She snorted, "He and I are part of the same group. I haven't been around for a while, soI hardly remember anyone. But he's just a big troublemaker. So his image sticks out."
"You do have a point there. It's one good thing about modern society. You guys have weapons that are actually accurate."
((Will post for Des later))
(Exactly. Though poor Shadow, she thinks him an idiot, it's not his fault so many girls fall for him, although in a way he is an idiot, how he thinks he can save everyone if he just tries hard enough, even if that means sacrificing himself. lol, does that mean she's a coward or does she want to protect his feelings? As she doesn't want to say it to his face.:3)
(ok thanks, I'm not sure what that'd sound like though...o.O But lol, there is no logic in that because a helicopter could easily have someone able to map it, while been well out of range of anything they could throw at them, they don't use boats at all to keep things up-to-date with maps and all anymore, and they don't need a helicopter either, the satellites do their work for them. X3 )
((You'd have to say that it's like the infamous Bermuda Triangle, where the electromagnetic waves render the spot unreadable by satellite, and electronic equipment stops working or something like that, so then they'd have to use old fashioned boats to map the area, THEN it'd make sense.

))
"And so you're not nightmares? Well actually, you should be grateful you weren't there, it wasn't a pretty site, Alex and Shadow, which are the names of the two I met that night, they were really angry, and brought out all sorts of monsters out of nothing..." at this Miiro shivered noticeably, the incident still occasionally gave her nightmares, and it wasn't suprising, it was a very gruesome, gory night that she had witnessed.
((ahaha, makes me remember how Alex and Shadow took turns slaughtering them all, and how we had such fun finding mythical monsters to spring forth from the dream bottles, and validating why Shadow is called the nightmare of dream.^.^))
Pushing those memories away she said, "I'm suprised you go on leave, I thought the theif job wasn't really a job, but a lifestyle, 24/7 never allowed to quit sort of thing, though maybe because it's part of your heritage they let you do that. Yeah, I have heard that name before, so are you living out in the wild right now or are you just coming back from one of your trips?"
Nezumiiro was very intrigued with the thought of living it out in the wild, she always enjoyed nature and she almost hated living in the city, but she couldn't afford living out in a more country like setting so she had to make do with what she had.
Therefore her apartment was filled with plants and several pet birds, though they were wild birds, so they weren't really her pets, she just put out birdseed for them and the two parrot birds that visited she'd half tamed enough to be able to come inside and eat bits of fruit, but they weren't 'hers', she disliked the thought of capturing an animal entirely.
"Thanks for understanding, and not pushing to ask for it." Glancing down at the bracelets Claudia mentioned she smiled, they were quite pretty, "Those are really nice looking bracelets." she complimented, she wondered briefly at Claudia's expression, she seemed to not hear what Miiro said, she wondered what the girl was thinking about.
Laughing she said, "Yeah, that sounds about right, if he was anything but a troublemaker I'd be wondering if he was feeling well." laughing for a good while, she stopped her laughter to add, "Don't worry about remembering everyone though, I mean even if I was in such a place all the time I would never be able to remember even half of the people, I feel sorry for those that have to remember everyone's names, and more, for both groups, that must be really, really hard, remembering names of thousands of people and at least parts of what they're like and their history sounds like a truly impossible task, at least for me it is."
"You're doing pretty well if you don't stay around that much." Smiling at Claudia she found she was enjoying talking to the girl.
"Urgh, too many in my opinion, they're too accurate and way too destructive. Though most weapons would be useless against such a power as a dream or nightmare bottle, but still, way too over powered weapons they are, it's like the human race
wants to destroy the world." frowning as she spoke about weapons it was obvious she disliked modern forms of weaponry.
Which was understandable, due to her history.
(They're so alike!

)
(Clairna did her reply for Desmond, I edited it in yesterday, it's a couple of pages back, back on page 139, is where that reply is)
(Also I just realised I'm going to have to change one of my character's names in my Broshalik series that I'm writing, in the secound book(haven't finished the first, just writing them both at relatively the same time) is a girl called Claudia, but she's nothing like your character, so I need to change that...Actually, I should change one of the other character's names (Sarah)too because it's too much like one of wildfire's names for one of her charries, though I don't know what I can call them instead.XD Maybe Rebecca and Bella or something...But that doesn't sound right, eh I'll think of something...

Look up online baby name dictionaries for name ideas.

(And hehehe...Poor Desmond....suddenly witnessing that girl go from moderately sane, to absolute snapped mode...)

VINN
Vinn slowly put his head into his palms. He could not believe how badly his day was going. "So, you've met us and the Nightmares before?" He grumbled, ignoring all the insults that had been slung his way. "And you have a Dream bottle," The dream thief continued, pacing back and forth, "And there's a bunch of other crap that basically means that you know way too much and you really shouldn't be alive right now." He stopped. "I can't believe all of this has happened since I went off on that mission in Peru.. Also, I didn't spill the d*mn coffee!" He growled.
((HyperJax apologizes for the crappy post, but it was all he could think of at the moment. Thank you for your time))
(Did she give his dream bottle back? I don't remember if she did or not.XD)
Finding his reaction amusing she giggled, "Yes, is that so hard to get through your thick head? I can't say I'm suprised, you are, after all, a sloth, who obviously as a child, had several bricks dropped on his head."
"It must be hard for you to understand, seeing as you have to keep repeating everything we've been saying."
He had gotten very stressed, over such a small thing, apparently he had been out of the loop for a while, probably why he was taking a long time to try and comprehend this obviously foreign concept to him, that normal people can know about essentially modified humans called dream or nightmare thieves, and still be alive.
"Well I don't like stating the obvious, but for a daft d**k like you, I have to spell things out for you very clearly or you'll be spinning around in circles, confused to no end. Obviously it isn't a problem because I'm still alive so stop getting so anxious like you've stepped on a piece of dog c**p."
Sighing Miiro said, "No, I spilled your coffee on purpose to get back at you when you refused to pay for another of my drinks, so no, you didn't spill the
coffee, but you spilled my drink or do you have that short a memory that you have already forgotten that you bumped into me and caused me to drop my drink?"
Shaking her head sadly she added, "It doesn't matter, me and Claudia have already moved past that, you're just so slow and simple minded that you still haven't realised we've moved on from that. If you really want to settle the matter I'll punch you, and then you can buzz off jerk face. We don't care about how you feel about the situation, go cry in a gutter."
Curtly turning away from him she smiled at Claudia, "Ok, hopefully that loser won't decide to follow us like some glob of glue, though sloths don't travel very fast so I doubt he can keep up with even our slowest pace, now what were we talking about?" Shutting out anything the guy was saying, it was a waste of time to even bother with the guy.

I got live beetles in my (cooked) oatmeal once...))
Oh fun, I don't have any XD))
Here it's always just Halloween night, not everyone's into it though, we have those crazy religious people who really need to stop being total hypocrites as far as what they celebrate goes and do their reasearch because halloween is actually a catholic holiday (my birthday falls very near halloween and it's my favorite holiday, so I know my facts. I won't do a full history unless you want me to though) (I have a bit on christmas as well...)))
Put together a mad hatter costume, made an awsome top hat, wore a key necklace and rather steampunk black dress aloung with playing card tights and pirate boots

I wore it because I wanted to see how many people would stop me, so it made me happy. I was fully in character too, brittish accent (which I do well) and I measured a few heads with my tape measure))
I tend to get bats here actually...))
(Hehe, reminds me of a prank I once read in this kid magazine, where you have a sibling who annoys you, and you the day or two before get a bowl, and a plastic, yet realistic cockroach (or a dead real roach, doesn't really matter), put it in the bowl, then pour a small amount of milk in, preferably diluted, to cover the whole roach, make sure it submerges, and you freeze it in the freezer, then the next day offer to make breakfast for your sibling. Pour cereal in to cover up the frozen milk with roach in, pour the milk in, and then watch them scream when they see the frozen roach.

)
((I never actually did that prank though, gosh that magazine had such good(horrid) pranks though...I don't know why, it was just a normalish kid's magazine, mostly about games, but it had a prank section; quite a random magazine.

It stopped being made for some reason when I was around ten, a pity, it was a really good magazine))
(((Also beetles and insects and have a high cooking temperature, so yeah, they would be still alive.

)))
(You don't need to convince me, convince my mum(she dislikes Halloween cause of that, I'm fine with Halloween), though I know it's not the actual holiday that make them pissed, it's usually the witches in Halloween, that's the real problem they don't like, everything else they're fine with, it's just witches. Which I could explain why, you know with the wicken people, who supposedly worship satan, and they're meant to be witches, hense since they're associated with Halloween, they dislike it. I don't know if witches were originally part of Halloween or if they were just added in over the years, but that is why they dislike it. But I don't doubt what you say, catholics may as well have started Halloween, that'd be something they'd do, what I dislike is that when a person says 'christian', they're usually referring to catholics, but they're completely different, for one thing, catholics worship Mary(Jesus' mortal mum), whereas christians worship Jesus and God, also catholics have a ton of strange rituals which christians find sinful. I can't be bothered going on about it though.)
((I don't think there is enough space to do a FULL history on Halloween....XD You can pm me the full history if you want though.:3))
(((Leave Christmas alone if you want to live....

(That is an awesome sounding costume*wants to see a pic*)
(And at the end of the event, I nearly always got only bats, lol, troll banner indeed.

Damien
He took the fish and set it on the sand next to him, even if he actually felt like eating he wouldn't be able to with the warring thoughts in his head. He didn't dare speak, at this point anything he said would come out as word salad. The boy gave up on the fingerings and closed his eyes.
We are so scr*w*d. ,stated the personallity Damien had dubbed Cross.
"Shut up." ,Damien replied in a quiet voice, pretty sure he sounded as insane as he was.
Yeah yeah. Because I plan on doing that. ,Cross replied blandly.
Stop argueing! ,Came the personality dubbed Abel, You two are always argueing! You should be more like Rist!
"Stop whining Abel, nobody wants to act like Rist of all people."
I heard that. ,came the annoyingly polite voice of Rist, Damien's fourth personality.
"Of course you heard it your in my d*mn head!"
Temper temper..." ,Cross chatised.
"All of you shut up! You're making us look like a nutjob!"
[i]Damien, we are a nutjob· ,Replied Rist.
And technically it's just you making us look crazy ,Cross folowed.
Eat the fish Damien, I'm hungry! ,whined Abel.
"Like any of you seem slightly more sane!"))
(My reply to Dream Thief took longer than expected, plus the fact I needed to sleep.XP)
(And I would say; Rist is the Dream Thief Damien? Going on the politeness of Rist.

And what I found amusing is that in that, the one dubbed 'Damien' on the island is acting a lot like Shadow.^.^)
((Also something that is also amusing; if he is on an island, you assume it is a deserted one, since he can't access his meds and all, and he's eating a very, very rural sort of dinner (even island villages, with the little technology they have, would've turned it into something more gourmet), so why would there be other people around? Or rather there shouldn't be other people around, given the scenario. So he's saying that they're making him look like they're a nutjob, however since there shouldn't be anyone else around given the scenario; they're making themselves think that they're a nutjob.

....And poor Abel got ignored in the end...

(((And why or how can you do such a good job at making up crazy characters? Even your 'sane' characters are usually insane.
