Fantasy The Bad Guys (Old)

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: Nobody I'd burden like that, but my family. I know one friend of mine's family might take me, but I can't be sure that would work out well.

 

[Phil]

Maxine shakes her head "No, I mean it. It's possible you may never be allowed to leave this place. You get a ranking after your first year. I need you to think of someone that you want to see again. keep them in your mind this year. That is going to be the reason you do all of the awful things you are going to do, so you can see them again."

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: Sam seemed like the person for the unwitting job of motivation. So that worked for you?

 

[Phil]

Maxine sighed "It allowed me to attempt things, having the skill to do it, entirely different story"

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: Does that mean you're.... You know.... An expendable?

 

[Phil]

Maxine sighs and then nods "yes, I didn't make the cut"

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: So that means I might have to do those horrible things i'll have to do.... To you. Shit. I don't know if I can do that. You've already helped me so much.

 

[Phil]

Maxine stands up and walks over to him "You listen to me, you do not have friends here. No matter how much i help you, if the roles were reversed I would kill you to get out of here. Do you understand?" She grabs Francis roughly "Do you understand?"

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: I retracted my shoulders from the touch of her hands. Understood. Understood, but not entirely believed, or helpful to me whether true or false. My only hope would be escape, if that was possible. I prayed it would be. So, would you mind a question? It's a sensitive one, I bet.

 

[Phil]

Maxine let's go of you hoping the message got through "ask, doesn't mean I'll answer, but you can ask"

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: As an expendable, just what have they done to you?

 

[Phil]

Maxine nods "I understand your curious, but I wasn't an expendable last year. It's my first year. Nothing has happened yet."

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: Oh. So, what sorts of things do you do in your spare time.... Or do you think I'm just digging myself a hole?

 

[Phil]

Maxine shrugs "your curious. That's fine, I was too. I used to enjoy painting and hiking through the woods. But now most of my free time is spent on finding ways to fit in and keep myself alive. I have an amazing skill of pickpocketing to get what I need."

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: That's nice, hiking and whatnot. And if you're a good pickpocket, shouldn't that count for something.... Unless.... Did you get caught?

 

[Phil]

Maxine sighs "I don't think you are quite ready for my whole story yet"

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: If you say so, I guess. So, who do you think the other roommate's going to be?

 

[Phil]

Maxine shrugs "Don't get your hopes up on them being trustworthy."

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: Wouldn't dream of it, but if you knew I'd be your roommate, did you bother with who'd fill the third bed? Or is it just there in case somebody destroys one?

 

[Phil]

Maxine replies "There is going to be someone else, there just isn't a name or picture yet. I don't know who they are."

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Francis: Well, here's hoping they're either a good ally or an easy target. This would prove to be a frustrating pursuit, being evil. Or "evil." What was I supposed to do, take over the tri-state area?

 

[Phil]

Maxine smiles and lies down in her bed looking at the ceiling "you should get set up"

 

[StrixDesmodus]

I have no idea what to do exactly, with nobody seeming to be here but the two of us. My other characters wouldn't logically keep from unpacking, except for Sam, and I don't want the two finding out bout each other just yet.
Francis: Yeah. Thus I went to retrieve the last of my baggage.

 

[Phil]

I don't know either. I could have Maxine try to pickpocket/steal from one of your characters. I don't currently have a reason but it would cause something interesting to happen.

 

[StrixDesmodus]

Sounds good.... or evil, rather. I think Ethan's a good candidate. Francis may be the expendable-to-be, but I love when bad things happen to Ethan.
Ethan: After the assembly I made for the bathrooms, all the while debating whether it'll do much for my reputation to hang out with freshmen, and then made for the first luggage pile I saw in search of my bags.
