Ooops
Sorry ^^
Have a nice weekend
<--- Kex
*sighs* You shouldn't travel so much, at least not alone. Next time, you take me with you, okay? *smiles*
*rests in Giggle's arms*
<--- Podarge
*screams, horrified*
*sways*
*collapses*
<--- Allen
*still searching for informations about a dead scientist*
<--- Lina
*lying on the blankets with fever, her respiratory ways feeling totally dried out*
*some rats appear, examine the whole place, eat some cookies and take the rest away*
<--- Allen
*eventually gives up*
No dead doctor. At least not within the last month. *rubs his eyes*
So I'd say, she didn't kill him.
*sighs and takes another piece of paper*
Nobody knows how that house got destoyed, and nobody knows how many people died in there, since nobody dares to get in because it's too dangerous to move any part of its remainings. *scratches head*
Apparently, there was too much metal used in its walls, and now those walls are under that much tension that it's unpredictable what will happen if anybody just LEANS against it!
*yawns*
God, I'm tired! I should go back now, she will have eaten everything by now, and I need to get more food before I get back. *stretches cautiously, puts the papers back into place and makes sure nothing hints to his presence here*
*leaves the building the same way he entered, without being seen by anyone*
*about two hours later, he leaves another building, carrying a box in his hands*
Good thing they got fruits back in stock today! *smiles to himself*
*another hour later, he finally arrives in his cardboard maze and sneaks to the girl's chamber*
*stops in the entryway and watches the scene*
*notices the bucket of water wasn't used at all while the cookies are all gone*
*frowns, puzzled*
*puts the box down and sits down next to the girl*
*uncovers her feet and removes the cable*
<--- Lina
*awakes from the touch*
*watches him*
<--- Allen
*smiles at Lina*
Good morning!
<--- Lina
*sits up and forces a smile to appear on her face, hoping she did everything as expected from her*
<--- Allen
*notices her dry lips and frowns*
Why didn't you drink anything? Just dry cookies can't be enough!
<--- Lina
*realizes she obviously were wrong but cannot grasp how*
*heart beats faster from fear*
*tries not to cry*
I - didn't - disobey - *notices that the cookies are gone*
*shocked*
*wonders if he is trying to make her look disobedient or if she ate them in a state of insanity*
*shaking from fear*
*waiting for punishment*
<--- Allen
*doesn't understand at all*
Disobey? Why, I didn't give you any orders!
<--- Lina
*winces at the stern voice*
*doesn't dare to answer*
*looks down, shaking*
<--- Allen
*too tired to find the patience for such a behaviour*
*opens the box and gets some fruits out*
Here, eat that! And don't forget to drink some water this time, you won't get anything better here! *fills the cup and puts it into the girl's hand*
*takes some fruits for himself and starts to eat*
<--- Lina
*empties the cup in one draught*
*shivers*
*with shaking hands, takes the fruits and starts to eat*
<--- Allen
*eats, wondering why she was afraid of drinking water while she obviously had no problems with eating the cookies*
*looks at some crumbs on the floor*
*raises his eyebrow as he notices some strange traces*
Rats! Bastards! *gets up and looks for a hole in his cardboard walls*
<--- Lina
*eats faster, afraid of making him angry on her again*
*finishes with an aching stomach*
*takes deep breath, ignoring the pain from the bruise*
*shivers*
<--- Allen
*finds a hole and closes it with another piece of cardboard and tape*
*returns into the chamber*
*notices she's already eaten up, and smiles*
Hungry, eh? *hands her one more fruit*
Here. Rest is for tomorrow.
<--- Lina
*looks at the fruit*
*takes it and smiles*
Thank you! *eats it more slowly this time*
<--- Allen
*finishes eating himself*
Ok now. *turns to Lina*
What did you mean, you didn't obey? What did you do while I was away?
<--- Lina
*pauses and looks at him with big eyes*
N- nothing. Just slept - Was - was I supposed to do something? *anxiously*
I thought - I assumed - wasn't this cable to tell me not to move? Did I - misunderstand? *shaking*
<--- Allen
*sighs*
This cable was to keep you inside this room. Outside it's too dangerous for you. Look, next time you see food lying next to you, openly, then eat it! Eat it before the rats come and take it! Same goes for water. As long as there is some, drink whenever you are thirsty! I can't afford paying medication for you just because you get ill! Do you understand?
<--- Lina
*nods, then pauses*
What's medication?
<--- Allen
*too tired to explain now*
Forget about that now. *gestures*
Move over, leave some place for this old man on the bed!
<--- Lina
*jumps up and down from the blankets*
<--- Allen
*puzzled*
Am I that scary? *looks down at himself*
I'd think not -
<--- Lina
*gets the feeling she did something wrong again but doesn't understand what*
*totally confused*
<--- Allen
*gets impatient*
Ok. *points at her*
You! *points at the blankets*
Lie down. Here.
<--- Lina
*quickly jumps back onto the blankets and lies down at the said point*
*anxiously waits to see if she did it right this time*
<--- Allen
And STAY there now! *lies down next to her and puts an arm around her waist*
*dozes off*
<--- Lina
*lies awake, stiff, trying to figure out what rules to obey in order to survive this place*
<--- Allen
*notices that the girl cannot relax and sleep*
What's wrong? Why don't you sleep?
<--- Lina
*winces at the sound*
I'm sorry! *desperately closes her eyes tightly*
<--- Allen
*watches her*
No! *sits up*
This won't work. Open your eyes, look at me and tell me what you're afraid of!
<--- Lina
*does as requested*
Everything! *tries to be more specific*
I - don't know the rules here! I don't know when you get angry and how to avoid that! And I don't know what to expect if you get angry - *shaking as she realizes that she just asked for punishment* *fears he will demonstrate it on her*
<--- Allen
*ruby his eyes*
Oumpf. *too tired, but tries to think about some good answers*
For rules, I already told you. Just be quiet. Don't walk alone into the maze - you might be killed! *tries to remember the rest of her questions*
How I get angry? *thinks about that*
Stupidity makes me angry. Violence makes me angry. *looks at her*
What some people did to you makes me angry and sad. I wasn't angry to you at all, I just was a bit impatient. When I'm angry, you hear me grumble.
<--- Lina
Grumble?
<--- Allen
*grins*
Yes. I can't demonstrate right now as I am not angry, but you will notice when it's time. *pauses*
What was the last question? What to expect from me, right? *frowns as he thinks about that*
When I'm angry, I try to remove what makes me angry.
*takes her hand*
Don't worry. I usually don't try to hurt someone, if possible, I avoid situations where I hurt someone. *sadly*
I didn't take care enough when you fell down the stairs.
<--- Lina
*doesn't know how to handle this totally new kind of behaviour towards her*
Take care - of me?! *completely confused*
<--- Allen
*nods*
Exactly. Example needed? Stay still! *moves her shirt up*
<--- Lina
*stiffens*
<--- Allen
Nah, relax! *cautiously removes the bandage on the bruise*
Look! *points at the bruise*
This is what probably hurts all the time!
<--- Lina
*looks*
*nods*
<--- Allen
Now look. *takes the cooling salve and cautiously applies it on the wound* *also applies a new bandage*
This bandaging will help this wound to heal faster. Which means, it will hurt less. *puts the shirt back into place*
So, now you can relax again. *gazes into her eyes*
I do NOT intend to hurt you. Did you get that?
<--- Lina
*nods slowly*
<--- Allen
*doubts it but smiles*
Good. Then now let's go back to sleep. *yawns and lies down*
*puts a hand onto her waist*
Look. This hand is just there to tell me that you are still here, and it will also tell you that I am still here. So, if you need something, just ask me! I will wake up immediately then. *smiles*
*closes eyes*
<--- Lina
*watches him for a while, but soon can't keep her eyes open anymore*
*dozes off*
<--- Allen
*notices the girl isn't shaking anymore*
*smiles to himself*
*dozes off*
and now I don't dare to change it to a working one
