Supernatural Adventure

You finally broke Joe down, yaaay. XD

"..." I sighed softly and turned to her. "You're going to follow me no matter what, aren't you...? Even if it means that it'll likely get you killed... Fine, let's go back, but the second I begin slowing everyone down is the second that you all leave me behind, got it?" I crossed my arms. She clearly weren't going to leave me alone and I didn't want to drag anyone down with me.

'Tis fine Nin. :P

Supernatural Adventure

Really App, bringing the Unnatural Universe here? *Sigh*

"...No one." I looked to the side, smiling bitterly. "Especially the girlfriend part. A... rather heated contention between me and my family. There is no one waiting for me. My family, they've already written off my existence, to them, I'm dead and burning in hell. Maybe that's where I've ended up. Maybe I have died and this is my punishment for merely existing in the first place." I gave a dry chuckle.

I looked back at her. "I don't want to be a burden to anyone. It's really fine. As for the helmet... I've never done anything like that before. If something did happen, it's likely because he messed up on the spell, that has to be it. Like I said, I'm completely ordinary, below average in just about everything. Oh, but uh... could you apologize to him on my behalf? Oh, and tell him, that it's alright. Ya know... to kill me the next time we meet, uh... that goes for everyone else too. I mean, that's one of the reasons you don't want me to go, right? That this guy, this necromancer'll just bring me back to trick you all, right? So... once I leave here, I'm just another enemy, okay?"

In the distance there was a rather loud roar. "That... doesn't sound good. I'll make sure to avoid that. Goodbye." I turned back around and began walking, a little more steady this time.

Supernatural Adventure

Mission accomplished, kind of.

I can just imagine steam coming out of Joe's ears as he tries to think of some way to make this something that would fit into his "This is all hallucinations and tricks" theory. XD

Supernatural Adventure

I listened to her for a while then my eyes went wide. "..." I didn't say anything, I just stared at her trying to think of a possible way of making these tricks work... I mean... the water... maybe... some sort of slip of cloth or paper, just translucent enough for me to think it was water. As for her turning into a CAT right before my eyes.

I tried to think of something, a hallucination maybe...? Surely by now I had gotten whatever that weird knight guy had put on me out of my system. I didn't drink the water, and there wasn't anything on the outside of the bottle, I don't think. Even then, it would have been minuscule, and nothing that would invoke such a vivid hallucination. Mirrors? No, that wouldn't work, I would notice something like that rising from the ground or lowering from the sky. Substitution? No, can't be that either, I haven't looked away for a second. There's... no trick that I can think of. She herself wasn't a projection or any other form of optical illusion, after all, the water bottle I took from her was certainly real, and I don't think that they would have had the time to set that all up in the few seconds that I had my back to her. I would have heard her running off and hiding...

There must be a trick, there has to be a trick. Right...? Right...? I mean... magic doesn't exist... right...? But... what about what I had done...? Surely... they couldn't have calculated where I was going to strike from and where the blow was going to land on that guy's helmet... That hole... was just the perfect size of my fist. Why... go through such elaborate tricks...? Why claim magic...? Only an idiot would believe that such a thing exists... So... why? Why say that there's magic...? They could have just claimed that they were normal people that found themselves here. They were claiming that, but adding on the highly impossible claim of magic. That clearly tore a hole through their logic to gain my trust... right? Maybe that's also part of the trick...? Get me to think this way so then I would trust them because of the impossibility of what they were claiming...? My... head hurts.

Whether this was some convoluted plot to gain my trust to kill me was irrelevant. There was no explanation for this trick. I couldn't explain it. Everything else... maybe. Even then... it's hard to confidently say that everything was a trick. I could no longer deny this. It... was all real. Magic... indeed existed in whatever horrific world I have awoken to. "...You... turned into a cat... a god damn CAT." That's all I could say. I backed away slowly. The realization filling me with a mixture of awe, fear, and guilt. These people... may have very well just been trying to help me. But I tried to kill them, harm them, push them away. I closed my eyes and balled my fists.

"T-This changes nothing. It'd be better for everyone if I wasn't with you. I'm useless in almost every way that could be useful in this situation. As you said, I'm a human, I don't have any power. I'm not strong, I'm not fast, and I'm easily fatigued. In the end, I'll end up slowing you all down, or even get you all killed. My life is meaningless, anyway. If I were to die, no one would really miss me. So it's fine, I won't be causing anyone any pain."

"A lake full of blood and dead bodies." I crossed my arms and glared at her, another trick, it had to be. "That's what I saw, now, let's think about this logically, there must be many bodies there in order to fill up a whole lake with blood. This obviously cannot be the work of an individual, nor in a short period of time. So, the only answer is that this is something that has been going on for potentially hundreds of years by a large group of people. This is also accounts for the numerous tricks that have been set up. Because, of course, magic does not exist. Meaning that to have this area so thoroughly covered in such tricks in order to make a victim believe in their illusions means that they would need much time, resources, and people in order to accomplish these feats. So chances are that anyone that I meet are likely to be in on this. So, it's best not to rely on anyone and go it alone. Not a new concept for me."

"So, I'll say this one more time. Leave me alone. I have no interest in working with you or the rest of your group. By separating myself from you, the chances of betrayal are far lower and improve my survival rate. I just need to find my way out of here and to the nearest phone. Then I'll alert the proper authorities and send your asses to a nice maximum security prison. Then I can go home and forget about all of this."

I glared at the girl distrustfully. I accepted the bottle of water... then turned it over, spilling its contents onto the ground beneath us. A sip is nothing. If it's poison, she could have the antidote, or only drank just enough only to feel sick, but not die from the poison. If it's a sedative, then it doesn't matter, surely one of her allies were nearby, waiting for the two of us to lose consciousness. Once the bottle was empty, I dropped it between the two of us. "Sorry, bit of a germophobe, and the grass looked like it needed watering." My tone suggested otherwise...

I got to my feet. "Leave. Me. Alone." I began to unsteadily walk away. I needed to get away from these people. I needed to get home...
