3rd Spell [Video & Action]

[loveswaffles]

I'm leaving the house and I don't know when I'll be back.

Don't look for me.
__________________________

[Great, now that she's given them at least some kind of heads up, the next step was to go ahead and find as remote a spot as she could and just try to figure out what was going on. She could tell there was something wrong with her, and she needed to make it stop.

But until then, Raven wasn't really willing to take the chance. She didn't want to hurt anybody.

She's walking through the Gardens now, this time actually forcing herself not to show any outward emotion, as opposed to just doing it naturally. It shouldn't be hard to notice that something is bothering her. But what could it be?

How badly do you want to find out?]

[loveswaffles]

I told you not to.

[An irritated sigh.]

It's not safe to be around me, Larry. You need to go back.

[gun_cata]

Don't think I'll let you turn down help because it's not safe. I know danger.

[ Larry moves quickly to catch up. ]

If I can help, I will.

[loveswaffles]

[Why was Larry still there. Raven couldn't... Oh, no. It was happening again.]

No! Go away!

[Her eyes are quite literally glowing red, but just for a moment. Surprised, Raven turns away.]

You need to go, Larry.

Before it's too late for either of us.

[gun_cata]

[ Red eyes and a monstrous voice remind Larry of what she's dealing with - she flinches away, but gives little ground. ]

Something is wrong, and I... I don't want to just let you deal with it alone.

[loveswaffles]

You're making a mistake.

[Agitated breathing.]

If I lose control, I don't know if I'll be able to stop myself.

I don't want to hurt you.

[Not when you've been nothing but kind to her.]

[gun_cata]

Lose control of... no. You don't have to tell me.

[ Raven seems like she's already barely got it under control. ]

So you're going to just go hide somewhere and hope the problem stops?

[loveswaffles]

I'm going to "hide" because it's for your own safety, and then I'm going to think about what I can do to make it stop.

[gun_cata]

[ She takes a step back. ]

I'm really worried, you know, about you dealing with something like this yourself.

[loveswaffles]

I'll be fine, I've done this before.

You on the other hand...

[gun_cata]

...m-maybe I should've listened a little sooner.

What's going on?

[loveswaffles]

Having second thoughts?

Don't feel like helping anymore?

[guess who's sporting a second set of eyes.

Yeah this is getting kind of real now.]

[gun_cata]

Knowing that I got hurt wouldn't help her.

[ Damn, she didn't expect it to be remotely this freaky and terrifying. ]

[loveswaffles]

Maybe we should find out.

[gun_cata]

Raven, what the hell's going on with you or... whoever this is?

[loveswaffles]

I am Raven.

[Didn't you get the memo?]

[gun_cata]

[ ...for someone RPing a ship with Akiha this is familiar.

Larry sighs. ]

A part of Raven I've never seen before. I can understand why.

[loveswaffles]

Let me show you what else I've hidden away.

[slowly approaches you...]

[gun_cata]

[ Slowly... backing away. ]

You're a good girl Raven. You don't wanna do this.

[loveswaffles]

Didn't you hear me? I'm-

Get out!

[she just kind of yells, settling down, finally.]

... What are you waiting for? I don't know how long I can keep this up.

[gun_cata]

[ ...see? ]

No matter how cold you sometimes seem, you've always been nice to me. Polite, even when you're brushing people off.

...what if I follow at a distance until you're somewhere safe?

[loveswaffles]

[Because you've always been nice to her. Gave her have a roof over her head.

A place to stay, and never asked for anything in return.]

Fine. But if I lose control like that again and can't...

You have to run.

Or you have to stop me.

[gun_cata]

I'm not hurting you.

[ All of that is just how Larry rolls. Sometimes she's nosy, sometimes she tries to be everyone's mom, but... mostly she just wants to help.

Arms crossed. ]

You're in luck, though, because I'm pretty fast.

[loveswaffles]

[Maybe it's Larry's continuous optimism and hope, or her refusal to just abandon Raven. Whatever the reason, she just can't help but...

Smile.]

That'll come in handy.

I hated gym class.

[Thanks for that, Mad Mod.]

[gun_cata]

[ Larry never stops smiling back. ]

Me too.

[ Her experience wasn't quite the same. ]

[loveswaffles]

Uh... I guess I'll start walking now.
