"and what of the killing of this child would you do it?"

"Last time it be takin' a ... specia' kinda person to be bringin' 'em out." Snarg looks around at party before settling on Zeiss. "'ey, he ain't bein' 'fraid of ya before. Maybe ya try bringin' 'em outta it?"

"Whaddaya mean? What did you guys see in your trial?"

by Z Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:38 am

*Z, who had been standing in the back of the room agitated but listening, paces forward and squats down in front of the boy, pulling the mask aside.*

"If you are wanting to help this boy, then stop treating him like a monster."

*Z throws a quick glare at those near him. There is tightly contained anger in their tone. Then they reach out and grasp both of the boy's hands firmly in their own.*

" You are not a monster. We won't hurt you. We are here to help you. "

*With this they close their eyes and lay their forehead against the boy's.*

"Just so we know where we stand, anyone who moves to hurt this brat gets broken in half."

*The tone is so dead-on determined, it doesn't even need to sound threatening.*

"Ain't no trial, just seein' the boy bein' ganked inna vision," Snarg responds, "Ziess was gettin' 'em to be followin' while I'm fightin' some gunk. Just thinkin' he might be reachin' 'em. I ain't even speakin' his tongue."

by Zeiss Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:40 am

Zeiss looks at Snarg before being able to answer to Tabran.

"Following me? I am not sure. Maybe it was only the light from my ring. I do not know."

by Kolson Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:42 am

"No Z." Too late. "Damn it."

Making a decision he says, "Help us everyone! If we all try we may be able to save both of them!"

Kneeling down beside her, he puts his head against the boys, attempting to share in Z's efforts.

by Hanuel and Dara(Toilarin) Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:44 am

Hanuel's head snaps up, and without a word, they join in with Kolson and Z, seeking to shield them from being drawn too far into the boy's mind, as they themself almost had.

"Well, what we saw was sorta the same thing," Rory informs.

"We entered a door and found the boy sitting at a barn. We all went inside with him, and were phased away from that area and to the room with the doors. We went in another one, and we all went inside a school to get away from shadowy things chasing the kid. Soon they backed off. Z was the one handling the kid both times."

by Snarg of Wildpaw Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:45 am

Snarg returns a hurtful glare back at Z and bends down beside him. "Maybe ya startin' first by not treatin' me like one." he whispers, putting his hand on the boy as he kneels beside her.

by Permeus (tabran) Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:45 am

"well nothing ventured nothing gained" Tab puts his Hand on the boys head

by Rory Thu Mar 28, 2013 12:47 am

Rory merely watches as these events unfold, waiting to see what happens before deciding if putting a hand on the kid is a good idea.

Higaide, Z, Hanuel, Kolson, Tabran, and Snarg:

Zeiss saw the others touching the kid.

"Just in case..."

He moves backward fifteen feet away with his weapon ready.

Rory looked toward Zeiss. "What did you see as you passed through the portal?" he asked. "There must be some perspective here that I lack."

In Kolson's Mind

You are presenting a false dichotomy, child. You're forgetting your third option. Endure. What happened to you was a great injustice but don't let it destroy who you are. Take it and learn from it.

You are not alone. Be kind where others were cruel. Love others for their actions not their birth. Be strong for others who are weak, where no one was for you. Seek out others who understand this. You are not alone.

by Zeiss Thu Mar 28, 2013 1:06 am

"Ah, nothing. Just that kid talking to his mother like she died. And a school being attacked by globs of black wax."

He observes the kid.

by Snarg of Wildpaw Thu Mar 28, 2013 1:07 am

Snarg furrows his brow.

As several moments pass, Rory wonders what might have become of those of the party who touched the boy, for the absence of action or consequence. Thinking back to what he saw in the trial, he began to feel pity for the kid.

"I don't know what's in you," he said, "but it's time to cast it out." He extended his hand, hesitated, then reached out and gripped the boy's shoulder firmly.
