mythical roleplay :)

Well, I'm 21. I met your parents a long time ago, when I was traveling. They mentioned that they had a daughter, but they never told me how beautiful she was.
-smiles warmly at Aqua-

-grasps Aqua's hand under the table-
I doubt that. I doubt that highly.

Finnian had been pacing back and forth in his room like a captured animal, denying any offer of food or water. The room looked like a mess, as well.
"Argh... I can't even run away properly! All I want is to keep from being a burden... So why...? Why do they insist on keeping me here?!

There were also various holes in the walls were the Kitsune had punched them, causing the small spikes to go straight through.

"DAMN IT!"

...And now there was yet another set of holes in the wall.

-gently tugs Aqua away from the door-
He's not in the best mood right now.
Allow me.
-uses the dust in the air to pick the lock and enter the room-
Well, Finnian, it appears you've recovered.
-smiles at him and extends my hand-
I would like to apologize for any previous aggression.
I sincerely hope that we could start over and be friends.
Well?
What say you?

"As much as I would like to take that hand, I can't. I'm getting out of here first chance I get, I can't stand to be a burden any longer..."
Finnian stared blankly at the half-warlock offering his friendship.
"I already tried to kill you once... I have no excuse for it, it was still my fault in the end. What if I try to do it again, and what if I succeed? I could kill everyone here, and you know it. I can't take that chance, I don't want any more blood on my hands."

He suddenly remembered an important detail, and quickly added on.
"It's not entirely my other's fault either. He was not originally the way he is..."

Then we'll help him, too!
That's what friends are for, right?
I may not be able to do much, but I'll do all I can to help you stay in control.
Lastly, Finnian. You aren't a burden. A burden is something forced onto someone else. If it will help you along, then I willingly help lift some of that weight from your shoulders.
I will help you however I can, but I need to know what's wrong, first.
All right, my friend?

Finnian only became more distressed as the two tried to get through to him. "It's not a question of what might happen, it's a question of what WILL happen! Everyone who's tried to help me have died! By MY hand! I don't want that to happen, least of all to you, Aqua!"

He instantly turned red. "Uh... Did I just say that?"
Yes you did.
He turned more red. "Nevermind that. Get out, I need to think!" And the Kitsune threw the two out of his room, barricading the door with a wardrobe, seeing that locks were unreliable.

He collapsed onto the bed afterward, staring up at the ceiling.
We can't get them involved, Finn. You know what will happen.
I know... I'm just... I'm tired, Cyrus, tired of running, tired of being alone...

Aqua.
-I approach her and sits next to her-
What if I told you.... We all do know you?
And.... If I could restore what you had forgotten about us?

-shakes my head-
I can't..... I can't lie anymore!
-takes Aqua's head in my hands and delves into her mind once again, then attempts to break open the rock containing her memories-
I'm sorry if this hurts, Aqua. I truly am. But, I can't stand seeing you like this! I will restore your memories, even if it's the last thing I do!
-adds my own memories to the attempt, specifically the memories of the time I had spent with you-
I won't give up on you, Aqua!

-I begin crying, sharing the pain that Aqua feels through our mental bond-
Please Aqua!
Come back to us!
-screams out from the pain with her-

-to anyone observing, they would notice a familiar blackness beginning to creep up Zarak's neck and throat-
AQUAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

OOC: The technique Zarak is using cannot kill a person, but it does hurt. This technique specifically restores a person's mind to how it originally was, removing any taints or blocks.
The price of this technique is steep, however.
It allows for the virus within him to super-accelerate, which could kill Zarak.

"What the hell? Those screams, they sounded like..." The Kitsune paled, and instantly he shoved the heavy wardrobe out of the way of the door, letting it fall with a large crash, and was out the door instantly. He found both Zarak and Aqua screaming in pain, but Zarak didn't register, only Aqua did, and he made the mistake of assuming that the half-warlock was the one causing her pain.

That did no good for his temper. "You bastard! You get away from her or I'll-" He was already advancing, armored fist raised and ready to knock Zarak into next Thursday.
