((That was probably REALLY creepy to ask out of the blue, haha. I was just curious cause I follow that blog, and I'd heard someone here ran it. Somehow I came to the conclusion that YOU ran it and I wanted to make sure. I SWEAR I'M NOT CREEPY JUST CURIOUS D)

[Watson]

((OOG: Is Mike knocked out for a while right now?))

[Magus00]

Mike groaned a little bit and moved a hand to his head. Sure enough, his skull was cracked a little.

"Awww....D**MIT! I just got my a** kicked by a civi...a girl, too." Mike said. He seemed a lot more himself than he was. He slid up into a sitting position and looked around.

"I don't know why you all wanna stop me from my appointed rounds, but I can't head out now..."

[Magus00]

[Watson]

((OoG: No, that's good. I want he and Terrence to have a conversation xD))

[raelyn]

Faye sighed in relief, snickering slightly. Good ol' Mike was back. "Yeah, Mike, you just got shown up by a girl. Dork."

She rubbed her knuckles again, examining them. A slight bruise was spreading over the back of her hand, shaped like the sole of a boot. Glancing around, she realized she was really, really tired. Coughing slightly, she ran her fingers through her hair, flicking her bangs back down to cover her eyes out of habit more than anything.

She glanced around, counting silently. Everyone was here, some a little worse for the wear, but at least they were still together.

Alison, having clearly been quietly panicking this entire time and her player not having spent the last day and a half playing Pokemon Sapphire, kneels down at Mike's side. "Are you okay?"

(( I totally wasn't playing my DS. Not at all. Nope, not me. >_> ))

[Renren]

((Haha, it's fine, I'm not being especially secretive about it or anything. Feel free to submit stuff to it, too.))


"'Your appointed rounds?'" Mia echoed. "What are you talking about? We all need to stay here." She lowered the pipe, sensing that he wasn't going to do anything.


((Wait, where did Alison come from?? Was she here this entire time??))

[raelyn]

((Oh my gosh you're alive! XDDD Ahh crap Pokemon Sapphire is the beeeeesttt. Jealouuus....And RenRen I will when I come across stuffs. And yeah, she's been here but....SOMEONE was playing Pokemanz the whole time instead of hanging out with us. Does this mean Pikachu is cooler than us D)

[Magus00]

Mike looked at Allison. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." To Mia, "I plan to kill IT before it kills any of you. At least, I was gonna..."

He stood up and let his voice carry. "Alright...since *I* can't f**ken leave to go kill IT with a cracked skull," looks at Mia, "...Good swing, by the way, we should try to get ready for IT to come ta us. Board up the f**king windows, seal off any rooms we ain't usin'...you know...that kinda s**t."

[Watson]

With the smoke cleared and the tension dropping, a white-haired man stood with a very perplexing situation on his hands. Terrence cupped his hand over his mouth thoughtfully, peering at Mike.

The man was clearly unhinged at the thought of The Tall One. Whatever had happened to him as a child, it was bringing itself bubbling back to the surface, like a volcano about to blow. That had to be solved.

Doing the only thing he thought could help, the lanky figured stepped forth and approached up beside Mike. Glancing over, he considered his words carefully.

"Mike...c-can we talk, for a m-m-moment?" His voice was a little less raspy than it had been when he first met the band of friends, and now Terrence was discovering that he had a slight English accent.

'Strange, I had forgotten I was born in England...'

[Magus00]

Mike regarded the taller man while rubbing his head. "Can it wait? We got preparations to do. Don't need IT comin' in here and rippin' us apart." Sensing that Terrance felt this was urgent, he sighed and said "Fine, fine...I suppos' ya wanna talk about what IT did, right?"

[GerkinMcGrimley]

Gavin counted 10......30......90........120.......200. It wasn't helping. He still wanted to beat the crap out of or kill Mike. So he walked back to the most calm of any people and his closest friend. Faye.

"Take the guns please." he handed them over. "I'm sorry....I won't be able to help you find your brother. When I know your out of danger I'm gonna leave this place. I know the cops will think I killed my parents so i gotta leave. I'm sorry." he said this loud enough so only Faye could hear it.

Faye was like the older sister he'd always wanted. Someone to help him through the things he didn't know how to handle. He would miss her.

[Renren]

"I'll go start looking for stuff to board up the windows with," Mia said, walking away. She figured the least she could do after knocking Mike out was to at least help install even the tiniest amount of protection. She went to the opposite side of the room this time, looking for tools and wood.

[Watson]

Head nodding lightly, Terrence picked nervously at his lip. It wasn't every day he tried to 'console' someone. He didn't even understand the nature of the word.

" 'It'... I regard it as 'The Tall One.' I do not kn-know what 'It' is...b-but..." He paused to cough, locating a secure and quiet location for he and Mike to discuss this. He wanted the otherman tofeel comfortable sharing whatever story he had to tell.

He just hoped it worked.

"I-I have never had a normal l-life because of th-th-that creature...I have w-watched it k-k-kill countless people..." An anger was rising in terrence's chest, and his piercing blue eyes lit up at the memories. "...and every t-time, I have been helpless to stop it. Until now."

Now, pointing a long, pale finger at Mike, the larger of the two men glared at him meaningfully.

"I kn-know that whatever it did t-to you and your friends must have been terrible...it a-always is. But that means y-you more than anyone should know that what we are d-dealing with..."He paused and coughed once more. The habit was becoming frequent, and starting to bother Terrence. "Is a monster. S-so, I suggest you keep your c-calm. And then, we m-may stand a chance of def-defeating it."

The man's face softened. He didn't want to come across as a hardass. He just wanted Mike to know what a situation they were in, and how dangerous it was.

"Wh-what did The Tall One d-do to you, Mike?"
