Would be interested, but I have an Xbox One. Sorry :(

The last two games you played will now fuse into one. What do you get?

Fallout 4 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution

I never asked for this, but war is always the same.

I hugely regret never getting back to this. I'm sure most of you have moved on, but if the interest is out there, I'd love to breathe life back into this thing.

It's been a busy weekend, sorry. I'll get to a post soon.

That's fine. Adulting sucks and sometimes life throws a million curve balls. I think we'll be okay for now.

Salutations!

Thank you!

Elliot Irving

There's No Place Like Home

Countless hours of cornfields, trees, and eventually miles of road left Elliot with a heavy feeling of nostalgia as he shifted uncomfortably in the back of a modest, compact sedan. Cool, crisp air whipped his shaggy brown hair into a frenzy, but it lacked the distinctness of the good, clean, country air that Elliot had known. There was a missing element that made Elliot feel far from home; it was a distinct heaviness that lingered with each breath and added weight to his very soul.


Cow farts...


Elliot gave a hearty chuckle and grew lightheaded. He felt a pressure upon his hand, firm but gently assuring. It was warm, comforting, and familiar - all elements that his surroundings clearly lacked. He drew in a deep breath and calmed down, realizing how tense and anxious he had grown. He shifted again in his seat to get comfortable and looked to his right at the passenger next to him, a kind woman named Charlotte whom he fondly called "Aunty C." She had a soft, comforting face and chocolate brown eyes that melted his pre-adolescent heart in a way that no other person had. While the long hours on the road had made Elliot's round face swell red and his chubby arms damp with sweat, there was barely even a single hair on Charlotte's head that was out of place. Though her malty eyes were wide and her grip was sturdy, her smile eased his mind and brought him back home again.


"How are you, Champ?" She crooned.


Elliot nodded and smiled, "I'm doing good, Aunty C." He replied with his nasally twang.


"You're doing well." She corrected with a Midwestern alto. "I know it's a long way to school, honey. Are you getting scared?"


Truth be told, Elliot was very nervous. He had sleepovers at the Doctor's office plenty of times before, but he was never away from home for long - especially this far from Ma and Pa. Ma was always prepared, though. She told him before he left that she had packed enough food to last him a whole year and told him all about how he's finally going to go to school and meet new friends, just like she did when she was young. A real school, finally. It made his heart dance.


"Ma said I'm gonna have my own room, just like home." Elliot said, avoiding the question.


Charlotte's eyes settled and her smile grew. "You will, sweetie. Your very own room."


Is she about to cry?


The car hit a bump, causing Elliot to jerk forward and the seatbelt tighten around his waist. He felt his breath leaving him. Charlotte's hand gripped his tighter, shaking it to wake him out of his trance.


"Elliot, tell me about your room, sweetie."


Elliot blinked and shook his head. "My room...I want a big room with a giant bunk bed, just like in my book. And I want a desk because the school is gonna give me lots of homework. And a dresser 'cuz I need a place for all my clothes. Ma said they're gonna give me all my favorite food. But I dun' want their food, I want what she made me. Are you gonna come see me at my new school?"

"Elliot..." Charlotte began to say, but she looked ahead at the driver of the car who shook his head. Immediately, she cleared her throat. "I'm gonna come see you soon, sweetie."

"Good!" Elliot said, adding, "I'll tell them I want lots of board games so we can play."

Subject 2460I has been transported from his rural location to a new headquarters for observation. Subject has ultimately remained unaware of the reason for his transportation but is under the false pretense that he is traveling to a school. As the subject has never encountered a real school, it will be easy to maintain this charade in order to keep the subject docile.

Transport vehicle carrying Elliot Irving, Doctor Charlotte Fern, and two authorities arrived at 0134 in a Blue 2014 Honda Civic with a busted rear windshield and damage to the hood directly above the passenger wheel. Subject remained entirely unaware of the damage to the vehicle aside from a "scary bump" and a windy car ride. Manifestation of kinetic energy also rendered one of the authorities, Sgt. Alfonse, with minor contusions along his temple. Doctor Charlotte remains entirely unharmed.

Tensions grew as Subject arrived and was escorted beyond the gate, as Doctor Fern became hostile toward staff threatening the life to anyone who harms the subject. She was dealt with accordingly beyond the view of the subject.

After some preliminary examinations, subject was escorted to his quarters whereupon he requested two chocolate chip cookies and the book "James and the Giant Peach" by Roald Dahl before voluntarily falling unconscious. Subject stress level is elevated, but manageable.

Appearance

[

Subject Number:
2460I

Name:
Elliot Irving

Sex:
M

Nickname:
"Biscuits"

Date of Birth:
03/01/2003 (12)

Height:
5’2”

Weight:
155lbs

Zygosity: 
Dizygotic (Fraternal)

Personality:
Elliot Irving has adopted the sort of passive politeness and regard for others that is stereotypical of a child from a southern rural family.  In spite of his differences, or perhaps because of them, he has grown accustomed to being humble, shy, and reserved, preferring to keep up a façade of politeness rather than express personal distress. 

Although Elliot has not directly discussed his self-image, numerous tests have indicated a reluctance of activity participation due to a lack of confidence – particularly, his weight.  Over the past two years of observation, notable weight loss has lead to a direct increase in responsiveness.  Elliot may also be aware of and sensitive toward the nickname he has on file, although he has not confirmed any such knowledge.

In a team environment, Elliot is cooperative and overtly positive.  When he is left on his own, however, he is contemplative and broody.  Further studies have indicated a correlation between his isolation and the potency of his connection to his other ‘self’.  More tests are required to further substantiate this hypothesis.  See sections below for more details.

Family:
Father: Edward Irving - Inherited his father’s farm and has tended to for the entirety of his life.  No formal education and proficiency tests exhibit less-than-average results in the fields of literacy and mathematics.  Political conservative and attends a protestant church.

Mother: Maybelle Burnet Irving – Daughter of local town mayor.  Traveled up-state to acquire her B.M. before moving back home to nurse her mother and father.  Tests above average in computation and literacy.

Observations: In all stages of development, Elliot’s bond between father and mother has been 30%:70%.  This has not been projected to vary despite adolescence due to Elliot’s father’s lacking the empathy and mental challenge that Elliot requires.  Elliot has already advanced beyond his father in more than capacity, but in empirical performance.  This has, undoubtedly, fractured their relationship.

Maybelle has been a consistently stable and strong figure, providing Elliot with the moral guidance and social etiquette that we observe in his daily behaviors.

Name: "Blue"

Sex:
M

Relationship with Host: 
Elliot Irving has been an inconsistent subject, resistant to most tests proposed to him.  For the first year of study, he remained a “smoking gun” case, fitting the scenario for the experiment perfectly but exhibiting no particular abnormalities.  It was only after a pattern showed in the reported incidents that Blue was finally discovered, that pattern being Elliot’s isolation.  Elliot’s connection with Blue weakens as Elliot is more focused on social interactions.  This observation lead to another potential conclusion that Elliot, while possessing the qualifications for the experiment, was potentially demonstrating early signs of schizophrenia.

As a final test, Elliot was isolated for an entire week with minimal contact.  The distress from the isolation created spectacular psychokinetic results.

Due to the tentative nature of Elliot’s case, studies of his twin has been limited.  However, Elliot appears to regard Blue as a normal part of his every-day life.  It is, to him, a natural occurrence that a voice speaks when nobody is around and, therefore, finds nothing abnormal about it.  It is critical for observation that Elliot remain unaware of his peculiarity or else he is likely to become self-conscious and not disclose any more information.

Personality: 
Over the course of several years, Blue has predictably obtained a personality of his own.  As Blue is connected through Elliot’s conscious mind through isolation, it is then no surprise that Blue is bitter, disconnected, and introverted.  Neurological reports show that Elliot’s hippocampus region shows considerably more activity than average which may imply Blue is unintentionally receiving Elliot’s repressed, unconscious data and personifying them.  

Notes: Although Blue has not expressed any direct hostility, it is important to note the implications of a personality based upon repressed subconscious thoughts and feelings, including potential harm for the host in the coming adolescence.

That said, Blue’s kinetic power has consistently been harnessed through Elliot’s despair and isolation.  Studying Blue with such methods could very well lead to him becoming unstable, uncooperative, and dangerous.  However, there are no other methods yet by which we have been able to consistently study him.  Use with extreme caution.
