[IC] Demon Within (REbooting)

[azarhiro]

Lynn listened interested. She had many questions she wished to ask. From ask appearances it seemed true that these people had voices in the head to. There were so many things to ask but no one was asking anything.She couldn't ask because of she did start talking she could say something wrong and offend the others. She was quiet and waited until finally someone asked something.She waited for the answers wanting very much so to know herself.

[KatherinWinter]

I want to reassure that Secrets does not allow me to read your mind. Your thoughts and feelings are your own. Unless you purposely try to hide them. Then secrets will natch them up and file them away. I know that this will make most of you uncomfortable. I can't say I blame you. While my demon enjoys gathering and sharing secrets I do not. That is why I bought the tablet. If I try to speak any and all secrets that have been gathered will be revealed whether I want them to be or not. But writing things down makes it a lot easier for me. I can write what I want to say and the text-to-speack app reads it. So your secrets are safe with me. Katherinassured them.

'Secrets huh... If I'm not careful, her Demon could reveal to her my secret...Dammit, I need to think this through..' 'Let's just kill her, make her angry.' Kronos slapped himself, to stop the voice from speaking, it was actually the first time it listened. Kronos then thought of the other thing she had said. 'Demons... That's what this voice is supposed to be...' Kronos looked over at the rest of the people here. They all seemed alerted at what the young girl had said, he wouldn't have blamed them either. Kronos didn't feel alarmed in the slightest, he was actually pretty calm about this. At least that's how he seemed in the outside, in the inside he was having an arm wrestle battle for dominion over his body, or something like that. He did not trust this Katherin person.

Kyo listened carefully, but found himself oddly unfazed by the idea that all his secrets could be known at any time for some reason. Perhaps it was the jet lag altering his judgment, but he really wasn't all that worried at the moment. Maybe when I'm more awake, I'll start to rethink this...

The rest of it wasn't too surprising, either. Nightmare had mentioned being a demon at some point, though it was indeed very appreciated to receive confirmation. Especially since Nightmare still seemed to like messing with him. Perhaps jet lag wasn't the only thing lowering his perception due to exhaustion, now that he thought of it.

Since nobody else seemed to be saying anything just yet, the dark-haired male tapped on the tablet again to create another message. "So, then, what do we do now? Where did these demons come from, and why are they here? Will we remain as hosts for long, or is this a temporary state?"

Desi Marie was among the others, but she stayed in back of the group and listened to everyone else speak she didn't really know why they wanted her here. She glared at the one whom said she something about secrets and wanted to run away. She just leaned on a wall and boredly listened. "We should leave.. they could hurt us" "Im not stupid" she said to herself or rather her demon. She didn't know if the demon was looking out for her or just wanted to be a social freak. Her eyes gloomed a depressing greyish blue it was like having a whiney child in her mind "Can we leave now?" the voice said impatiently "Just shut it" she whispered and watched the others

"Now we find a way to live with the demons. If Secrets knows where they came from. He only told me that they once ruled hell. They were locked away in a box once upon a time to punish them for faking to take over the heaven. They are here because the box has been destroyed. Since they no longer have bodies they needed to ours. They will remain in our bodies for eternity. We are now immortal." Katherin explained.

Kyo blinked and fought back a yawn, not entirely sure what to make of this assessment. Perhaps he was still too tired as a result of jet lag, but the concept of immortality didn't quite seem to click at the moment. He would have to revisit the idea later, when he was more awake. The rest of it kind of made sense, though it still bothered him. "Why us? Did we meet some form of requirement?" He wasn't sure exactly how he would do with living for eternity with his demon, but did they even have a choice at this point? Even to his sleepy brain, it certainly wasn't seeming so.

@YamiCuoreLaroux

"I don't know beyond the fact that we all have something in common with our demon. I was studying to be come a psychologist. My job would have been to gather and keep the secrets of my clients. I think that was why Secrets was drawn to him. I was also very lonely. I would have welcomed any company. I might have invited him in simply so that I didn't have to be alone. But these are only guesses. Secrets hasn't answered that question. Katherin explained.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Something in common? That made enough sense. He could kind of see why the demon inside his head would have taken up residence there should Katherin's response be correct. He wondered briefly if she already could tell that. It wasn't exactly something he would actively keep from anyone, but as a habit, he didn't often bring up things about himself that were not directly asked about. Does that still make it a secret? I guess if it's unknown, then yes... He didn't spend too much time wondering about it, as he quickly decided that maybe the knowledge of his childhood issue was probably already known either way. Now he just wondered if she would ever let him know that she knew.

In a way, this seemed convenient. There was less need for him to speak if she already knew so much about what was going on with him. He just hoped none of it was particularly disturbing in any way.

[SilverWolfAngel]

Whoa! Information overload! Rez was struggling to process what Katherin had just said, a lot of it bouncing straight off his ears. No mind reading, it was permanent, and something about a box. Discarding everything else for that moment, Rez focused on the box. "Like Pandora's box from Greek myths? And it's broken? So…… if we could fix it? Or make a new one? could this end?" The sooner this was over the better, although for the most part Rez had resigned himself to the idea of permanantly keeping his voice. It didn't have a name, least not one it had told him, although judging by the way Katherin called her demon Secrets, his probably had a name as well. As for similarities to their demons? That for Rez was fairly obvious; Fighting, getiing into bets, challenges, and …………… failing. He was good at failing challenges. Or…… and then he lost his train of thought, forgetting everything for barely a second, a overload problem he'd had from long before voices in his head. Backtracking he found he had boldly stepped forward and asked questions, luckily not phrasing them as challenges, yet. But that was more than he had ever intended to do.

[KatherinWinter]

@SilverWolfAngel
"Yes like Pandora's box. We cant fix the old one. It is completely destroyed. We can create a new one. However to do so we would need to find four mythical items. The eye, the cape, the cage, and the staff. If we choice to do so I have clues to the eyes location. But we should think about it before deciding. If we recreate the box and remove the demons we will die. As long as we have the demons we can survive anything."Katherin explained.

[SilverWolfAngel]

"Wait……… immortal, like immortal? as in living forever? Won't that be incredibly lonely?" Rez was only just grasping some of the thins she had said earlier. "So the choice is; Live forever with demons driving that tiny sane part of us crazy, OR Get rid of them and die? …Hang-on… immortal not indestructible, right? So what happens if we die vaguely normally?" Rez had a bad habit of often speaking out loud when puzzling through things, it helped him think, but others often found it annoying, or weird; and albino brat talking to himself, not an everyday occurrence for most people, but everyday occurrences were very far from here.

[KatherinWinter]

@SilverWolfAngel
"Immortal as in nothing can kill you. Trust me on this I have tested it. We can't be killed by any method. You could get sit on a bomb and live. We don't have to be lonely. Part of the reason here is to invite you all a piece. Now that you have demons you cant live in the normal world. People will notice that you aren't aging. People will hunt us. Katherin explained.

[SilverWolfAngel]

Before he could stop it a single tear traced his cheek, what was that for? "So we're gonna live here forever?" He grinned suddenly randomly, "We should probably get nice furniture then, just saying." Slowly his words were getting more and more likely to be provoking. Rez knew it was time to start shutting up before he cornered someone into challenging him, just as the voice was aiming for. He had found that as long as he didn't believe things were challenges he didn't have to accept them, but with no challenges he found himself trying to provoke others. Of course as a last resort to shut his voice up he could challenge others, but it wasn't the same.

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

Kyo blinked, a bit shocked by the new information. There was a way out? They could seal the demons back up? But then they would die in the process...wait, she had tested their indestructability? The boy wasn't sure how to respond to that thought, but it worried him a bit.

"We can still be hurt, though, can't we? We may not die, but I doubt that it a reason not to be careful." The information about staying here had also caught him by surprise, but he wasn't sure how to act on that, either. People hunting them? He supposed that was entirely possible, even probable with some of the strange effects he had already experienced, but it was still an odd thought. "Are we really staying here? What about our lives out there? Is it really impossible to return to them?"

[KatherinWinter]

@YamiCuoreLaroux
"Its not completely impossible to go back to your lives. But you won't be able to stay long. Maybe ten fifteen years if your lucky. People will notice that you aren't aging. You're welcome to stay But I won't force you. This meeting is for giving yinfinformation and offering you a safe place. Katherin explained.

[SilverWolfAngel]

"Sooo…… If we can't live OUR life, then Who's life do we live? We could reinvent our self over and over I suppose, moving and changing names, appearances, and all that, but why?" Rez was babbling and he knew it but wasn't gonna stop, yet. "I mean, what do we want to do with our life if we have to live like this? I don't really know about you, but I'm not totally enjoying having someone in my head bossing me around, I'm sorry, but I am NEVER going back to those sici, sicatra, Sacias, sintara……… whoever those things are. Never again, thank you verry much." He knew he had gone off on a tangent, he also knew that he was probably provoking Katherin, as she had said she had been training to be one of those psychiatrist, psychologist people or something like that. His voice was busy whispering; Go for it, provoke her, make her mad, come on challenge her, it dosn't have to be her, anyone will do, throw me a bone, yeah? Come on, you haven't gotten yourself a challenge for ages, and you know what that means. Just challange her, him, any one of them, the next one to speak, there, challenge the next on to speak, OOOHHH…… what about the one in the back, with blue hair? She looks easy to take on, beat her, come on. Unless you want to fail? In that case how about him, the one with ice eyes? Or Mister talkative over here? I really don't care who you challange, but hurry up and do it! It was getting more than Rez could bare, the constant nagging of his voice for a challenge, the news that he would be like this forever. "So is there any way out that doesn't include dying? And if not, What the hell do we plan to do with our lives?"

[YamiCuoreLaroux]

@KatherinWinter
After thinking for another moment, Kyo eventually just nodded his head. "I see, that makes enough sense. Thank you for the consideration, that's very kind of you." Honestly, he thought that the other one had a point as well; it would certainly be difficult to live like this with the demons. If they could do so, however, there probably wouldn't ' the many limits as to what they could do with the rest of their lives. As long as they were careful not to reveal their situation, anyway.

Still, if they could find another way out, he didn't doubt that many, if not all of them, would probably take that route. It wasn't sounding too likely just yet, though.

Stifling another yawn, the tired male shook his head in an attempt to stay alert.

[KatherinWinter]

@SilverWolfAngel

"No there isn't any other way to get rid of the demons without dying. The demons are a part of us now. If they aren't inside us we die. I don't know what you want to do with your life. I am here to offer you a option. Whether you take that option or not is up to you. I think that despite our demons and the negative things that come from having them that we can do good in the world. I don't know how yet but I think it is a possibility. For now why don't I show you to your rooms so you can rest and think?" Katherin replies.

[SilverWolfAngel]

At Katherin’s reply Rez groaned, half at what she had said and half at the pain that was starting to lace through his head. It wasn’t much at the moment, just a dull throb, but over time it would grow. The voice was right, he had to challenge someone, but he was also scared he would lose. “Great idea. Mister talkative here” he gestured at Kyo…… “I missed your name, looks like he is gonna collapse, and I really need to…… to……” he stammered to a stop, fighting inwardly with the voice, hoping for a blank that wasn’t coming. “Please tell me you have nice beds, because I ain’t sleeping on the floor………” He trailed off again, grabbing at his head as the voice started screaming, yelling that he had to phrase that more brutally, to provoke her, all of it above the pounding of his headache. The problem he thought, was that, even though accepting challenges was easy for him, delivering them was not always.
