[There's an old fart standing on the roof of house #12. How he got up there, or rather, when he got up there is a complete mystery he respawned there. In his hands he flips through the pages of the journal, looking for anything remotely interesting that he may have missed. After a while he speaks up.]

It's kinda windy today, don't ya think?

What are you doing?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Pokin' ya. You sure feel like a human being.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

That's because I... I'm not sure how it works, but I'm not a real human. I just look like one.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

But ya didn't explain why people would hate you for being a spirit. Ta be honest with ya, it doesn't make any sense why they would. I sure don't hate ya!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

... Ratatosk wants to kill all of the humans and half-elves in my world.

[Action] 1/2

[crisisrain]

.......

[Action] 2/2

[crisisrain]

Ya don't strike me as a genocidal maniac.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I-I'm not! I mean, Emil isn't, but Ratatosk is, but I am Ratatosk, so...

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[It's always the quiet ones!]

Whoa! Hey calm down a second! Ya keep talkin' about Ratatosk in third person, so it's not just another name ya have is it?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

No, I really am Ratatosk. But I don't know what happens when he's in control, and I only have a few of his memories. It's like he's a different person, even though he's not.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Huh, so it's like an extreme case of havin' a dual personality?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Something like that, I think... that's how Doctor McCoy described it.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Sounds like it ta me, either that or ya've been possessed.

So what's this Ratatosk like? How does he take control of ya?

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

He takes over when I get scared or angry, or when I need to fight. I only know what other people have told me he's like, but from the sound of things, he's not a very nice person.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

So ya don't fight as Emil, ya fight as Ratatosk. Sounds about right, seein' as ya said he wants to kill all humans.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah. I don't know how to fight on my own.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

You could always try and learn! I can't see it bein' easy with Ratatosk takin' control over ya in situations like that though... guess it's one of those things you'll just have to rely on him for.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I don't want to fight at all, even though I don't really have a choice on our journey. I know I should want to be able to fight for myself, but...

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Fightin' is over-rated. There are lots of people here who've never even picked up a weapon!

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

I know, but I have to fight. That's why I made that pact in the first place.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Any chance we can finish this thread up today? And Raven just tell you about he died next time he spots you round, cause yeah... it's 10 days later now xD]

Why do ya have to fight? That's ridiculous.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[Sure, no problem. XD /has been slow like a slow thing lately, fff]

To protect Marta. I promised that I would, I'm just not very good at it.

[And he falls silent, just sort of staring at his tea, which has been getting cold. Way to go, Emil.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Yay thanks bby :3]

Considerin' ya mentioned who was in this world, I've got the feelin' Marta isn't on that list.

[Action]

[knightofratatosk]

[♥ oh god it just took me like two minutes to remember how to make a heart]

No, she's not, but... it's better that way. She's safe from the Malnosso back at home, where she belongs. And Tenebrae is there with her now too.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Pff I just C+P them from other people ♥♥♥]

As well as Richter.
