With eyes narrowed in deep concentration, his hands wringed together as focus beckons his mind, BiggerFish's fingers snap as an idea draws itself closer. "
...I have a plan. You know how you can medically induce death? And then fix it? Get me whatsit and whatsit. Well I probably already have whatsit and whatsit somewhere if Thornhill is as smart as ever...Herzog! You getting this?", he says, hoping that Herzog can hear him. [7] "
Ja, sounds good! About as good as being a sitting duck for the machine sounds like! I'm all for it if the 223 allows it." BiggerFish catches that, the changes to the tone of voice, which sound even more frantic, like a Hollywood crazy person act. Fish disregards this, being the first to open the door to the left. When he opens it, he sees a man, no,
the man. White hair neatly combed, with a few ends sticking up here and there. Wrinkles and scars adorn his face and hands, indicative of his age, as his green eyes show a lifetime of misery. He is shaking quite a bit, a grin popping up now and again as fear comes and goes through his features. He is wearing a popped open suit, no tie to be seen on his person. [1] Fish sees or hears nothing, save for the shaking, that could be indicative of anything, and thus he calmly sits down, Herzog only acknowledging his presence with an unsteady glare.
With the door open, OceanSoul need not ask if Herzog can hear her symphony as she pulls out her keyboard and begins playing a remixed "Truth by Alexander", each note played in a beautiful melody. [4+2 (Experimental Music)] Though, due to...newfound practice, she botches some, it seems to work as Fish and anyone peering into the room can see Herzog suddenly staring off into space, as though his thoughts were now clear. OceanSoul calmly says, "
So..you DON'T want to kill any of us?", hoping to get a clear yes or no. What truly happens is that Herzog's left eye begins a nervous, uncomfortable twitch as his hands begin shaking again. Then, a hiss, as though in pain, leaves his lips as he suddenly yells out "
TRAITORS!", before slamming a quite large kitchen knife into the table, shaking it. He begins babbling incoherently [8] which everyone can hear. "
The book! The book, here to kill me, here to killthem. The light, I see them, 223 take sthem. The Nine sha ll free the souls left behind, calling. Book tore me, is hall fx them. Please th masters I seek to kill. I shall save this world, I sahw doom this wo-", before suddenly stopping, turning his head towards the door as he hisses out, "
I-I mean, yes, but I o-only...", before lowering his head and sniffling.
Sensing the pain of the poor man, with whom the diagnosis is clear insanity from some external force, Person walks into the room, the man's eyes widening as he sees the android enter, and sits down. It intones, "
Sorry about some of my companions. They can be a bit hasty at times. This is a nice place you have here mister...", hoping to get his name. A quiet and nervous, "
H-Herzog...please, help me.", is all that's needed.
Shuffling away from the door, the whiskey bottle still filled with booze as it turns upside down to act as a club, NRDL tries to sneak in to the room [8] and, except for his companions, remains undetected, as he slips behind Herzog, waiting for the right time.
Frowning, with her arms crossed in thought, PirateJoe muses to herself, "
So...I'm a clone? I guess I'm not opposed, but...", before shaking her head and gesturing in the Korean soldiers, who stand watch by the door. Entering the room, PirateJoe sits down and says, "
I take it you are Mr. Herzog, or at least someone who works for him.", with a simple "
J-Ja."
Scowling in anger, his teeth bare and sharp as though looking at spiked gauntlets, DolosusDoleus bellows out, "
Why should I trust that there is nothing in the food, that you don't wish to kill us? No. Even though I don't trust my masters, I trust you less.", before he walks towards another door, to check for anything else to kill, before entering the main course. Picking the door situated by the right door, he opens it to find a stairway leading down into a basement. Walking down it, his weight destroying each step, he enters the basement to find something...odd, which is the word that would describe the room. It appears to be a morgue, a row of corpse preserving tanks similar to such a place lining the room. Some are open, displaying gunshot wounds on some of the bodies. Within the center of the room, dangling by a noose, is another corpse, this time a man in a suit with a double barreled shotgun on his back, as his eyes remain open, revealing the right eye to be bloody, almost entirely covered in red.
"
...Bother.", Fallacy of Urist says, as he tries to get his cart moving again. [10] Suddenly, without warning, it launches itself into the manor, flinging him up the stairs.
With a sadistic, yet excitable grin, and clenched hands, Hawk says, "
Not interested.", before rushing into the kitchen and leaping at Herzog. [4 v 10] Suddenly, Herzog disappears in a burst of smoke and flame, causing Hawk to hit the chair and fall to the ground. Before she can ask what the big deal is, she suddenly sees a revolver placed up to her skull. [2 v 3] Hawk narrowly dodges Herzog's bullet as he disappears again.
Appearing at the top of the stairs, Fallacy of Urist viewing this from upside down, Herzog suddenly appears, the gun in one hand and a leatherbound book pressed to his chest in the other, as he bellows out, his eyes turning yellow at certain points, "
I knew it! All of you want to kill me! Steal this book that has given me so much! It saved me. It gave me power! I don't care why you sycophants are here. Save the world? Destroy it! It's too late! Shame what happens when a species that kills itself just fine wants to end other lives! No more! I am not lying down and bowing to the whim of The Triad! When I kill all of you, I'll kill the Operator. Jericho. Warner. Those brothers and sisters. ASTRID! I will save this world...by burning it myself!". Flipping the book open, he says an non-human phrase, the speaking in tongues leaving everyone unnerved, as hands begin bursting out of the ground. Decaying flesh pops out of the floorboards as purple eyed Zombies emerge, growling and screaming, as Herzog disappears again.
BSN:
...Awesome.
Did I do well with this? I mean, looking back, it doesn't seem too sudden or stilted, but unlike the last few times, I want to know from the players/readers if the chapter was up to scratch.
