Hey. I, uh... I know things went fucking crazy for a while there.

[Well, this isn't an easy post. But then... He knows he's gotta at least throw it out there. Heather's missing (god, please don't be dead, please don't be dead), and Murphy's hurt and Anne's probably freaking out for his well-being. So. He's gonna just get it over with. Sure, he'll probably get some pretty bad replies, but honestly? He's already fucked up anyway. Got some nasty injuries from some of those fights and he's not planning on leaving the room until the jump happens. Or at least, he'll try not to leave the room. We'll see how that pans out.

He runs a hand through his hair. If Heather had caused this, then... Keeping everyone focused elsewhere would be good. And if it's not her? Then hell, it probably is him, or something. He did piss off two whole towns in one swoop.

His voice is raw, hoarse from the miserable time the last week's unleashed.]

Listen.

The place you were at—I've been there before. Back home. It's was a bunch of supernatural bullshit that might be from a place called Silent Hill. I... used to live next door to it, in the neighboring town. Came back home after a few years and walked right into an empty Shepherd's Glen and some secret cult and their weird mystic shit... Almost didn't make it out of there myself. A pact broken with my town caused everything there to turn into what you just went through now. The otherworlds, the monsters, the puzzles, everything.

... I don't know how it got here. I don't honestly know. Hell, I don't even know most of what happened to where I used to live. But I do know that it was from my world, right the fuck next door, wherever the hell my world is supposed to be out in space. There's nothing I can do to change that, and I'm sorry. I wish I knew how all of this even went the way it did. But if there's anything I can tell you about it, I'll do my best. There's not a lot I even understand, but you deserve at least that much.

[A breath. His chest feels tight. What else can he even do? He drops his face in his hands, sighing.]

... Being in the dark wouldn't be fair to any of you. I'm—

I'm really sorry.

Can I come see you?

You almost talk about it like it's sentient. Is it?

[Yeah, don't expect voice or video from Murphy anytime soon. He's almost too fucked up for typing, but it's a much easier alternative for him than anything else.]

You shouldn't have to apologize for everything.

[ frodo appears on the screen, visible circles under pale skin, blue eyes shadowed. so this is the burden that alex carried. ]

Alex. I should like to speak with you in person, if I may.

Edited 2012-10-05 04:56 (UTC)

Why are you sorry? Eheh? It's not like you knew that this shit was going to happen here.

[He hesitates, but... he was familiar with Kurt—it'd be okay, wouldn't it?]

Yeah. Yeah, you definitely can.

honestly? I really think so. something about that place has a life of its own

it's like it knows you inside and out, when it takes you. everything that makes you.

maybe it's not the same as a person, or even a ghost, but it's something

[Oh, hey, Murphy. How's the bedrest treating you? He's trying to be humored at first, but by the time he hits the last bit, he's just so damn tired.]

i apologize on behalf of my fucked up place full of cultists and supernatural towns

what else can I really do?

What was its purpose? Do you know?

Okay. I'll bring you something to eat, okay? I'll be at your place soon.

[And he'll be in the kitchen area rummaging around for a bit before he comes to Alex's room bearing muffins, juice and potato chips. Munchies, man.]

[Another person he's alright with meeting? Works for him.

He winces, though, because moving around right now is a big fat chore fulla' pain.]

Yeah... I wouldn't mind meeting. Where to?

My room, preferably. Questions I have I'd rather discuss in private.
[ quietly ]
I'll have tea made.

it's purpose...

honestly, for my town? it's purpose was probably judgement because our founders pulled some pretty awful stuff. it also showed me things i didn't want to accept back home.

i think it just... tries to force people to confront their inner demons, or make them face something they don't want to face... i know it sounds insane, but honest to god, it's like its trying to be the worlds worst therapist

That I can believe. You really have no idea how it came to be here. What conditions did it exist under before?

No, I didn't, but... I can't do much else.

[He clears his throat. If there were ever a time to sound like shit, it would be after a trip to that world.]

Can't help but feel like shit over it.

[QUITE WELL, ACTUALLY. Even if he does have a nagging CO constantly fussing over him.]

I guess NOT hinting that the pact may have piggybacked you into outer space would be a great start. [Hell, Murphy could have done with Alex not mentioning it at all.] Better not let yourself get jumped over this.

Does it have to do with devils?

[He skips the introductions and jumps right into the questions now, because that's the first thing that came to mind when Alex mentioned "weird mystic shit" and "cults". Devil-worship. A moment later, he realizes that he's not being as informative as he could be, so he explains further, or tries to.

He's not here to blame anyone. He just wants to know.]

I mean, with powers and things like that. Things that aren't really like us, and that people want to bring into our world. So they can get things they want. But they have strange powers that can hurt people very badly.

Edited 2012-10-05 05:18 (UTC)

probably would have come up anyway

besides, hell if we know how it works or even got here.

[DO I CONSIDER IF IT WAS MY FAULT? Dude, it jumped from Silent Hill to my town because of me not dying. Why wouldn't I consider it might be my fault?]

angry people, supernatural worlds that fuck with me, nagging dads, it's all the same with me

[oh look he really just fixed his humor with this reply]

Yeah. Or maybe more along the lines of spirits that got out of control. Someone from my world brought something into it they never should have.

[Which isn't a total lie here. Heather had a big part in it, but Silent Hill... well, it's always had something... different about it. The pact happened long before Alessa or Heather, after all. Which is one of the reasons why he can't really blame Heather anyway, even if he wanted to.]

They messed with fire, and they lost out. But... I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot of how it all began, since it was way before anyone could ever remember.

[He shakes his head.]

Sorry. I hope I'm making sense. I'm still kinda... reeling from a lot of this. I lot of stuff I dealt with was a small piece in a big puzzle.

You shouldn't, but -- eeheehee -- I guess I know how you feel. Kind of.

Personally, I'm... I'm just glad you got out of that all right. Hahaha...

Well, sounds like you had a better idea than I ever did there.

[Of course, Murphy was just the unlucky bastard who crashed there. He wasn't "fortunate" enough to live close by most of his life to know a damn thing about that place's screwed up history.

[Also, Murphy doesn't like your tone of humor, boy. B|]

Like you needed to add more to that catalogue of achievements.

Edited (WHAT THE FUCK SPELLCHECKER STOP THAT) 2012-10-05 05:29 (UTC)

if i knew, i'd tell you. jesus, i really would.

it mainly existed in its own little bubble, in silent hill. people who landed themselves there could be effected, but sometimes it goes after you, depending on the circumstances. there's no real set of rules i'd make for it, but there's an idea of how it works

[So far, Heather had been drawn back to the town, and he himself hadn't even went there until he absolutely had to. And then there were people like Anne and Murphy, who fell into it thanks to traveling through there...]

[Alex is a little slow getting to the door, but it eventually opens. Don't be alarmed, Kurt, but after we got separated I kinda got my ass kicked by a guy who was suspiciously like a doctor back home. Can't really see under the t-shirt, but there are a few bandages on the arms.]

Hey.

[He's all frowns right now, because it's hard to switch to smiles. The downside? Not really eating much. The upside, so much goddamn sleep. He couldn't stop himself if he tried.

... It's been a heavy week.]

How're you?

[He nods in understanding. Whether the devils of his world were meant to be there or not isn't something he's concerned with. All he knows is that for as long as he can remember, he was told that these kinds of things were evil and twisted, and that the people who tried to use it for their gain were twice so, and more.]

It makes sense. I think. It looks like a lot of people are still upset about it. But--do you know why it happened? Not how it started, but... If someone wanted to make the people here suffer. Do you think someone did this on purpose?

[Because if the answer's an affirmative, then it's much easier to find someone to turn on. Anyone who would willingly bring this down upon innocent people is the worst kind of person, and Asato would have not a single qualm about hating everything they stand for.]

Better.

[He walks in and sets down all the food.]

That's there if you want it. I understand it might be a little hard, after...after everything. But we all still need to look out for one another.
