Posted 4 Aug 2013 "Were creatures? I don't remember that. Then again it's been a while since I've been down there. You sure you don't have ghosts in your zone? I didn't believe in them until.... well, this happened. I'm just glad I finally have some company." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "I think the were cretures was quite a recent thing. You'd need to ask Dylan when he recovers. As for ghosts... Well..." Skye tried not to look and Melody or Red. "As far as I know there were none in my old Zone. Don't know about my new Zone though." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "Good Melody, I'm counting On you.I don't ask you to throw that away, just to sometime let go of it. Our zone is a bit safer than yours after all...." he then kept on. "Technically,Knuuckles could be Seen as a Zombie. Heck, I could be seen as a Zombie. As for Spectre, that's pretty self explanatory..." "WHAT?" "Dear Aurora, calm down! Can't you take a joke like anyone?" He then turned Toward the kids and the ghost. "Oh, a ghost! That's nice. And cute with that! It's, almost a shame in fact....." "Well, that's my first time with a ghost, Unless that thing about my uncle haunting the attic was true" Said Glen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "Thank's Dad. I'll try. I don't think I'd be able to let it go." Skye looked at Locke with a confused look. "Zombie... What?... Um, according to the readout you still have a pulse, so that kinda rules out 'walking dead'." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "forget it skye, just forget it..." he then turn toward Melody."You have to, it's the only way to eventually move forward in your life. Beside, you can't move around everyday with a knife at your side." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 Skye just kept looking confused. "Uh, ok, whatever you say." Melody on the other hand looked horrified. "I.... I can't just.... give it up.... I need.... it. Couldn't.... I just.... keep it hidden..... or something..." (ooc: ever read the Peanuts strips? You've just done the equivalent of asking Linus to give up his security blanket.)

Posted 4 Aug 2013 (ooc: At least, the security blanket wasn't made with KILLING PEOPLE in mind) "Look melody, I know it's a way to protect yourself, But ....fine, you keep it, but you will have to learn one thing, and shall you fail at that, you might never be able to move on." "You will have to learn to only take it out when there is a real danger, and when you know you can do something about it. Sometime, It's better to simply take down someone with your first, than cutting is troath. it leaves room for him to learn a valuable lesson, while you showed your superiority. killing won't get you far, Respect will.It's something you will have to understand : The assesment of a situation."

Posted 4 Aug 2013 "I... know what... you mean about... moving on... I've just... I've had... more training with... weapons than fists... And if I couldn't fight.... then they would.... I always needed to be ready to fight... way of life..." Melody's speech became more and more broken as she went on. "Calm down sis, different world remember. It's a new life now. We'll just take it one day at a time, ok?" (ooc: it wasn't made with that purpose, but boy Linus could use it to devastating effect.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "Put it this way Melody. You live in Haven, there's practically no chance you'll be attacked. You're also a little girl. You mean well but you aren't totally level headed. Think about the portal prank, do you want something to go wrong with your knife? Carrying a weapon with you for protection is fine, but it's a lot of responsibility. No one in their right mind would question your right to defend yourself and carry the tools to do so. You just need to mature first." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "I understand. But these days are over . you will have to find a new purpose , as there are more than enough killers roaming the world, both good and evil..." (ooc: don't tell me about it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "The portal prank wasn't dangerous," muttered Skye, once again completely missing the point. "I think... I understand what you mean Shadow... But I'm not as... immature as you think... And even if... I'm completely safe in Haven I wouldn't feel safe... without it... And I know I need to find... a new purpose... but I have time to decide, don't I?" (ooc: 'not as immature as you think' Melody? Dream on kid!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Aug 2013 "Yes Melody, but It's a combat knife. It was made with a single idea in mind: fightiing. Are you still willing to follow the path of the warrior, rather the path of the killer?" (ooc: Clever Locke time.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 4 Aug 2013 "I'm normally good at the anger thing," Melody began. "Just not the thinking thing," joked Skye. "Hey, shut up!" Melody whirled round and advanced on her brother, who stood there grinning smugly. "And apparently not the anger thing after all." Melody opened her mouth to argue then looked crestfallen.

Posted 4 Aug 2013 Both kids glanced at each other, then managed a 'Yes Mom' in perfect synchronicity. "I thought we were behaving?" whispered Melody. "Different Zone, different rules," whispered back Skye. "But Mom's from our Zone," replied Melody with confused but hushed tones "Maybe Dad gave her a book on the rules for this... erm, no, this is Dylan's Zone, a book on the rules for the Prime Zone."
