Mercury smiled, and laughed at the thought of being microchipped. He wanted to have a phone so he’d be able to track Eddie too. To make sure she didn’t get into any trouble she couldn’t handle. So it’d be incredibly easy for Eddie to convince him to turn the Find My Friend app on. So long as she did the same for him.

He nodded wanting Eddie to come along, and offered his hand to help her up out of bed. Thinking she might be groggy by not sleeping as well. ”I’d love it if you’d come with me. That way you can decide what you want to eat. I mean you don’t need to eat veggies just because I want to. That’s what walking around a shopping strip is for. Selection of different foods, and stuff.“ He chuckled as he pulled Eddie close to him, and then kissed her on the forehead again before grabbing a coat with a large hood, and gloves. He was protecting himself from the sunlight. So Eddie didn’t need to use so much of her light manipulation powers.

After he was ready, and made sure Eddie was ready he left the motel room. Walking to the bus stop to take them to a shopping mall or strip. That way he could get something to eat, and that new phone.

"How about rice and beans? And three pounds of vegetables?"
Mercury thought about that, and how much it’d cost, and soon nodded. ”I’ll have to find someone that sells that sorta stuff… Maybe a vegan place? I’ve heard about them just never really been to one before.“ He heard his stomach start growling at him, and he became a little bashful. Though it was mostly just noises he wasn’t feeling hungry yet. Just knew he should eat something soon as he hadn’t had breakfast yet. ”Looks like I need to eat something soon. This is what I get for skipping breakfast.“ He laughed warmly then kissed Eddie on the forehead again before getting up. He stretched tiredly, and rubbed the back of his head. ”Maybe I should get a cellphone so you can call me on it. Just so you can reach me whenever you want. Take every precaution as I usually say.“ He yawned tiredly after a bit, and rubbed the back of his head.

Mercury opened his mouth to say something, and probably called Eddie out on lying. But, stopped as he heard Magi telling him Edwina simply didn’t want to talk about it. So he dropped it, and just held Eddie a little closer, and pet her head. ”I’ll get you some chocolate while I grab us lunch. So what do you want for lunch? Personally I’m feeling salad… I just don’t feel in the mood for anything meaty right now.“

ATTENTION ALL UNITS
WHO THE HELL IS IN THE RP?

Seriously you guys need to friggin post. Abandoned, and I are starting to think you've all jumped ship. We're starting on the main thread, but we seriously need a post from everyone that's in the RP. Otherwise, we fear this RP is dead in the water.

"Something wrong?"
”You were trembling in your sleep. I got worried about you, I’m sorry to wake you.“ He gently pet her cheek as it felt right to him, and smiled at her softly. ”I’m glad to see your doing better? What did you dream about that made you so upset?“ Of course he was concerned about her she’d been clinging onto him for dear life. Plus moaning, and crying out which had woken him in the first place.

I believe so yes. Although I wouldn't put it in quite those words. As it sounds a little... Sly rolled a hand as he spoke, and then laughed. He crossed his arms as he looked at Edwina letting her think of a plan. "Any good ideas on how to get it back?" I’m afraid I don’t have any sort of plan. At least besides that of helping Mercury know what’s okay during his beastly transformations. I have found us masks have some control, but ultimately it is Mercury who has all final say.

Mercury was awake now, and looking at Edwina as she curled up tight to him. He gently brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face, and then leaned into her gently after transforming himself to look like a normal very dark black man. Then he kissed her forehead softly. He was checking to see if she had a fever, and just wanted to kiss her forehead.

"Would he, um....eat me...if he goes berserk? And sort of a follow up question to that...how much does dying hurt?"
No I do not believe he would. I think you might just be the only one safe from that. At least for the moment anyways. Because if he gets worse there are no promises. Proof being that for now he seems to follow the exact same attack pattern he usually does. Go after the guilty, punish those that have hurt others. Sly chuckled very softly as he paced a bit in the room. He had no ability to alter memories or anything of that nature. Only to recall and see memories, and to peek inside of one’s soul. As for dying... depends on how you go. I was beaten my bones broken, and then left to rot in a root cellar. Which I litterally did as infection set in my wounds. As for Magi, and Warlord they were both shot in the stomachs faster, and less painful. For some their lucky enough to simply pass in their… just pass without pain. He didn’t want Edwina freaking the fuck out again so refrained from saying, in their sleep. As he really didn’t want to have to deal with that mess.

Sly didn’t approach her, but he did remove the door all together. Then pushed her chair towards her gently. Sit down! Please, Edwina and please listen. He only shouted sit down to silence Edwina’s panic for a second. These are my natural eyes, and Mercury's as well when wearing my mask. Did you not notice that his eyes changed colors every time he switched masks? Daily his eyes turned white. Warlord red, the colour of a philistine. Blue for the regal miss magi. Look back, and remember
The walls began to project Edwina’s memories of Mercury wearing the mask. Of the first time they met, of the time on the plane. Every single moment Mercury switched out masks or was in his true form. Every time his irises would change colors as Sly had told her.

Nothing really besides keeping the truth from him. Do not by any means tell him what he has been doing. If you do it could very easily destroy him. I like being alive very much so, even if the means are less than optimal. Sly adjusted himself in his seat, and slowly stood up. He walked towards the back of the dark half of the room folding his hands behind his back. As he thought for a while. You also need to find whatever tia stole from Mercury in order to fill that hole. Or something close to it in order to stop this from happening again.

He walked back to the table to look at Edwina. Then braced his hands on the table looking down at her. She could see two glowing golden irises from the darkness looking at her. I like you Edwina, you are a good kid. Sure you got a bit of demon in you, but all good heroes have a bit of that. It is what you do to overcome it that is important. I have seen many a thing in when I was alive. Heroes fall villains rise, vicea versa as well. But, understand this. You are the hero Mercury needs right now. Both to fill his heart with light to combat demon inside, and to stop his demon when he cannot.

Sly brought Eddie into a white, and black room white ceiling on one side white furniture, floors, ceiling, and even the table. But, on the other half was darkness with only slight light being cast into it. On the dark side of the room was a man in a nice business suit, and a Sly on his lapel. His face obscured by an unnatural darkness being cast on his side of the room. He motioned to Eddie then to a seat. Hello Edwina, it is quite the pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. My name is Sly, I'm the spymaster of mercury's masks. Though, he does tend to confuse my caution for insanity... Quite the bother that one is at times. He took a seat across from her folding one leg over the other. I brought you here by your touching me whilst you sleep. Quite fortunate for both of us you're starting to become more relaxed around us. As it will start to become a nuisance if you keep acting so squeamish. We're clean no blood or guts attached. You're not afraid of touching ivory are you? think of our masks as pure ivory from now on. Should help you out some in theory anyways.
He put a manilla file onto the table, and slid it over to Eddie. Then motioned for her to take a look inside. In it were photos of what was going on inside of Mercury a darkness, and then some sort of whole.
edwina, you wanted to know what was going on inside of mercury yes? well, it's rather hard to explain. whatever tia did to our shadowy friend seems to have created a hole inside of him. a hole that needs to be fillled . every four hours that hole remains empty is when it starts to grow. causing mercury untold amounts agony. as the hole is beginning to devour him, and slowly drive him to doing things he'd never normally do. such as eating those gang bangers earlier this morning. Inside that file was also the gangbangers, and what they were doing mere moments before death. They’d been selling meth to kids no older than fourteen, babies almost.
I'll now be answering your questions.
