PLAYER PLOT: fear is the mind-killer

[fullmoon]

CHARACTERS: You and all your least favorite things.
LOCATION: Shipwide.
WARNINGS: Violence, gore, monsters, psych trauma. (Please warn for any potential triggers—e.g. medical horror, eye stuff, recollection of past sexual trauma—in your subject lines.)
SUMMARY: Boggarts. See the plot post for a full timeline if you want to forward-date; otherwise, watch this space for updates.
NOTES: Whatever happens, however this ends, remember that it's Draco Malfoy's fault.

JAN 22

If you've been paying attention, you should already be on edge. Ward and Resnik have returned without many answers. There's the dead pirate again. The Tranquility is being pursued. People are talking about violent confrontation like it's inevitable, any cycle now. Any day. And now Morgoth is back, somewhere in the corridors.

If you keep an eye out, you won't find him. But you might find something else.

JAN 23

Never mind about Morgoth.

JAN 24

Despite very well-intended claims to the contrary (see above), the mounting evidence suggests that boggarts can be killed. Also, there's probably more than one. Sorry about that.

I was eight man, I was sort of too young to start hating it, yet. And eventually I kind of got used to it. [and it's not like he's going to tell his friends when he's having a problem, so it's a therapist or nothing.]

How many people did you have to punch to get sent to anger management, anyway?

[of course not wanting to talk about his problems with his friends also extends to go any more in depth with john here and now. he can only talk seriously about himself for so long, after all.]

[nutsaboutscans]

[He scratches his head thoughtfully.] Three... if we're only counting the ones my boss knows of. Plus two wrecked synthetics. Oh, wait, one synthetic. I shot the other annoying one after I was in anger management. The first one fell out of my car, though, so that doesn't count, either.

[FELL John you so pushed that robot out of your moving vehicle.]

[de_void]

[considering the matter with a bit more seriousness than is probably necessary.] Okay yeah but were they important people? And what the heck is a synthetic, anyway.

[nutsaboutscans]

[John thinks about it for a second before:] Nah, not really. Well, maybe the last one. And a synthetic is a robot, android, whatever you wanna call them.

[de_void]

[throwing his hands up in front of him.] Okay I'm not going to get into some long winded sci-fi nerd's [stiles don't say that like you aren't one] discussion on whether robots qualify as people or objects and just settle for saying who gives a shit.

I mean if you've got a history of abusing these synthetics they should probably not send the stupid ones with you. Learn from their mistakes.
