Game: Badfic Manor

[psychic_labrat]

I would appreciate the attention, Miss Mundane, if it weren't going to inevitably lead once more to my death. I've seen how your mind works. It's going to start off simply, and then you're going to make sure I'm exposed to something truly horrific.

I would say that I am not amused, but I highly doubt it would change your mind.

Still, the manor has always been of great interest to me, as well as the people within it. So long as we can avoid the unpleasantness I will be quite content.

I will miss Erik, of course, but I have come to the conclusion that the longer I am held from home, the longer I have to think up a solution to our problem.

Now, I can hear that head cold from here. Please go to sleep. There are others that rely on you.

Well, I imagine that is quite enough about me. How have you been? *yes, no more talk about the manor. :< He doesn't want Erik to try and kill the Author or something. It would not end well*

[wasneveranoption]

[Or it could go very well and you'd be sent home where it's marginally safer. :\]

Fine. I don't get out much. [Which is his attempt at a joke, but seriously he is more than okay with largely being ignored, considering the other alternatives.]

[psychic_labrat]

*except that in a few days back home the family is taking a trip to the beach and only heartbreak lies in that direction*

Have you been taking care of yourself? *the Care and Feeding of your Erik is not a joke >/ He worries about you. Lots.*

[wasneveranoption]

[... You seriously can't win with this.

And dammit Mom, he's fine. >C Ignore the fact that he's a hypocrite.]

Yes.

[psychic_labrat]

*Not really, no. His mun truly fits in well with the setting.*

*also do you see the expression on his face? He knows how you work sometimes, and it does not mesh well with his definition of 'taking care of yourself'.*

[wasneveranoption]

[He is a perfectly functional adult hdu. >C]

I'm fine, Charles. I haven't gotten into any trouble in your absence.

[psychic_labrat]

*you were borderline suicidal when he met you. :(*

That I can believe. You are good at lying low when you need to.

[wasneveranoption]

[... touché. :c]

My writer generally has other characters occupying her time.

[psychic_labrat]

That's a shame. It is a pleasure to hear your voice. There is no one else from our world at the manor.

[wasneveranoption]

It sounds terrible.

Omg I forgot last time he was at the manor there were a few days where Charles was an evil overlord.

[psychic_labrat]

I worry a lot, I'll admit.

((ooc: I'm dying of laughter))

... Charles bro your life is awful :c

[wasneveranoption]

And there's no way to escape? You've tried everything? [He would come kidnap you himself but. :c]

He was mortified when he woke up. He had a CAPE. And an evil title. Horrifying.

[psychic_labrat]

I'm afraid not. I have not tried to see how far I could walk beyond the manor itself but...

I can't feel anything 'outside'. There is very much a sense that the manor is the only thing in the world. *weeeell, you could always keep him company. It's not a terribly fast game*

Hey. Capes are fabulous. :C

[wasneveranoption]

[It's tempting. :c]

Why haven't you left?

Charles can not pull off that look.

[psychic_labrat]

*it's not all horror either. Charles spent a week as a Mew in either November or December last year*

I'm not entirely sure how to. Plus it's likely that I can help people like us there. How could I in good conscious leave even if I had the opportunity? *having the time to -think- is always a bonus. He's running out of it in his own world*

That's okay, we don't have to match.

[wasneveranoption]

You're needed at home. [Who's going to be making sure kids like them didn't grow up having horrible childhoods like they did if you're being held hostage in this place? :\]

Thank god. ;__;

[psychic_labrat]

*weary* I know. Believe me, I know. If i had the choice I would be back with the children. *and you is left unspoken because unless he can fix things before they break he's not going to have the luxury of your friendship for much longer*

Capes are still awesome though B]

[wasneveranoption]

Then do something about it. There has to be a way to leave. You left before.

You don't want to know my opinion on your current fashion style.

[psychic_labrat]

I believe the term would be 'forgotten'. I was returned to my time, almost exactly when I had left it as if the manor were naught but a dream. No one had even known that I was gone. *he still hasn't figured that one out*

Well you dress like you're sixty so there B(

[wasneveranoption]

It could happen again.

At least I don't look like a territorial beetle. 8|a

[psychic_labrat]

That is what I hope. Unfortunately it is merely a matter of waiting for it to happen. It took months the last time I was taken.

This helmet is fabulous, don't make fun of it :cccc

[wasneveranoption]

You shouldn't just accept your captivity, Charles.

That helmet is nightmarish and he hates it. HATES IT. T__T

[psychic_labrat]

You make it sound like I'm some kind of zoo animal on display.

*which...is what he is. He can't even lie to himself*

SORRY :C not that sorry :c it's complicated :c

[wasneveranoption]

[Pointed. Look. GUESS HOW ERIK FEELS ABOUT BEING HELD PRISONER.]

Aren't you?

Please don't make him suffer it again. D:

[psychic_labrat]

*point to you for that. God he's sorry. D: He really is horrible at honest human interaction and the like, isn't he?*

You are right, my friend, but I do not know how to fix this situation without hurting someone unnecessarily.
