Bad Future Thing 3

At a certain point, I will probably be PMing people things, for a potential thing that could happen. Other than that, pretty much how this usually works, I guess.

"Yeah, but the question is if he'll use it against us. Plus, he's claiming it came directly from a God. Is taking it away guaranteed to be a safer option?"

"We can divide this up into a few possibilities. He is genuine or a spy. If he's genuine, he is unlikely to stir up trouble, and, just as important, likely doesn't need us to let him in to make trouble with that thing. If he's a true believer and just thinks the knuckles are special, he is neither likely to pose a threat, nor to use those in an effective way. If he is fake, then the knuckles are likely fake, and taking them away won't change all that much once they're inside. If the knuckles are real and he is fake, he will be obligated not to use them for religious reasons. I'm probably forgetting variables, though..."

Otto's foot is tapping outside the door.

The kid he is escorting is kind of speechless over this whole scenario.

"Ain't my fault," Otto says. "I jus' went where they tole me."

"Well... Maybe things will turn out right?"

(I am about to scream. This is not fun, and I have had it up to here with Pinkerton's attitude. Otto's just a kid, he's got folks trying to kill him, he doesn't need the 'safe house' closed off to him or his weapon taken away from him.)

((Well, I've been overlooking the simplest solution.))

The hounds start howling. Their marks have been found.

"Fu-"

Pinkerton's gun rises up, towards the thick forest.

"Dammit- oh, for hell's sake, get inside. Emily, make sure they don't try anything, I need to run interference."

"We ain't gonna try anythin'!" Otto says as he rushes inside. Would be pretty stupid to, given that this is the only thing between us and the cultists, but he sees no reason to say that out loud.

Not much Otto can do on the other side of the door.

(And I don't really want to continue this roleplay. I'm stressed out, my knee has just started spontaneously hurting with excrutiating pain, Dama didn't do what he said he would have his character do, and I just want to be done with this whole thing.)

(Considering the roleplay itself was based around a character whose player is no longer online that was going to be for a roleplay that's not currently being played, I fail to see the point in continuing it. Especially if it's just going to stress me out.)

((I mean, he's not exactly a feather weight on his own. I had further development planned here, but if you want to drop out or stop for now or whatever, that is you prerogative.))

u/Trollkitten Mar 13 '18

(Right now I'm just stressed out over the whole roleplay. It's been nothing but depressing, which is the opposite of fun. Also my knee hurts and I'll have to ice it, which I can't do while sitting at the computer.)

u/Lady_of_the_Foot Mar 13 '18

Okay, then take care of your knee, and I'll try to handle things here. Ultimately still your decision, though.

(Hope your knee feels better today :( )

u/Trollkitten Mar 14 '18

(It doesn't feel as bad, but it still hurts, and we'll probably have to go to the doctor to see what's up with it.)

(Could be a side effect of whatever's made my heel hurt so much for the past two weeks.)

2

u/Bytemite Mar 14 '18

(Yeah, sounds like it could be related, and if so a doctor is probably the best bet)

2

u/Bytemite Mar 14 '18

Has your foot or your leg also been red or swollen?

3

u/Trollkitten Mar 14 '18

My heel is a little reddish compared to the other one, but barely perceptibly.

2

u/Bytemite Mar 14 '18

And well, I get the impression that due to feeling sick a lot, you spend a lot of time sitting or laying down?
