32.3: When You Become Sober

Featuring: Kaija, Yavae

[11:45 PM] Willis Wilstar: Kaija is in her and Yavae's room, alone. She's crouched in the corner with a knife, carving something into the floor
[11:47 PM] DiurnalKnight!: Yavae comes home "Kaija, you here? I got us some food!"
[11:47 PM] Willis Wilstar: "Yeah. I'm here."
[11:48 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Good, can you get cooking? I'm starving. She puts a large leg of lamb down on the table, then looks over at Kaija
[11:48 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Hm...? What're you doing there?"
[11:50 PM] Willis Wilstar: "Nothing."
[11:50 PM] Willis Wilstar: She doesn't turn around
[11:51 PM] DiurnalKnight!: She walks over, trying to look over her to see what she's doing. If Kaija looked at her, she would notice that she has some fresh wounds, recently healed by a staff
[11:52 PM] Willis Wilstar: She doesn't look. The word 'KILL' is carved crudely into the wood of the floor
[11:53 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Huh...?" She is slightly confused, but not very worried it seems
[11:53 PM] Willis Wilstar: "What?"
[11:54 PM] Willis Wilstar: She starts carving the start of another K into the floor
[11:55 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "You know, we probably have to pay for damaging the floor."
[11:55 PM] Willis Wilstar: She pauses
[11:55 PM] Willis Wilstar: "Yeah?"
[11:56 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "Yep. We have the budget for that?"
[11:57 PM] Willis Wilstar: "Who knows?"
[11:58 PM] Willis Wilstar: "I don't. It's not that much. They won't notice it."
[11:58 PM] Willis Wilstar: "It won't matter."
[11:59 PM] DiurnalKnight!: "I'll just put a rug or something over it."
[11:59 PM] Willis Wilstar: "Yeah."
[11:59 PM] Willis Wilstar: "Things people don't see don't actually happen."
[11:59 PM] Willis Wilstar: "That's how things work."
July 24, 2016
[12:01 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Hm..? What are you saying? Are you on something again?"
[12:02 AM] Willis Wilstar: "No. I'm not on anything. I'm off it all. Isn't that what you wanted?"
[12:03 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "What? No, didn't you pay attention?"
[12:04 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Of course I did. I pay attention to everything. I always know what to do."
[12:05 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Then you would know that I only told you to stop doing the ones that were incredibly dangerous to you."(edited)
[12:06 AM] Willis Wilstar: "How do you want to deal with that?"
[12:06 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Because I don't have anything anymore"
[12:07 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Hm? What about the ones I let you keep?"
[12:07 AM] Willis Wilstar: "g-o-n-e"
[12:07 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Where do you normally get more?"
[12:07 AM] Willis Wilstar: She snickers
[12:08 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Back home."
[12:08 AM] Willis Wilstar: She has yet to turn around
[12:08 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Oh come on, you have to have refreshed your stocks at some point while we were here."
[12:09 AM] Willis Wilstar: "But wouldn't you rather it be this way?"
[12:09 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Now nobody has to worry"
[12:09 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Kaija, I told you what I want, do not presume to know my will better than I do."
[12:10 AM] Willis Wilstar: She snickers again
[12:11 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "What, is something funny?" She is beginning to get a bit annoyed at her lady in waiting
[12:11 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Nothing at all"
[12:11 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Then what is that snickering for?"
[12:11 AM] Willis Wilstar: "If I laugh it'll hurt"
[12:12 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "What? Did you get injured?"
[12:12 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You could say that"
[12:13 AM] Willis Wilstar: "It's an injury one way of looking at it"
[12:13 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Let me see then." She suddenly tries to pick her up
[12:14 AM] Willis Wilstar: She turns back towards her, grinning. She's got half inch cuts from the corners of her mouth
[12:14 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Wanna see what happens when I laugh?"
[12:14 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She looks shocked "Kaija! What happened?!"
[12:15 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Told you already. I'm out. It's all used up and gone. G-O-N-E."
[12:16 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She growls in anger "Idiot. This isn't what I wanted, we need to get you to a healer as soon as possible." She tries to pick her up, heedless of the danger
[12:16 AM] Willis Wilstar: She keeps snickering, which grows into a giggle, which grows into a laugh that tears another quarter inch
[12:16 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You never really met me, did you?"
[12:18 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She suddenly puts her in a headlock, holding her mouth shut "I don't care. I'm healing you, then we are having a serious talk."
[12:18 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She begins trying to walk out, carrying her
[12:18 AM] Willis Wilstar: She's still laughing through her clenches jaws(edited)
[12:19 AM] DiurnalKnight!: Yavae gets many confused looks as she carries Kaija to the nearest clinic "Cleric! Someone get me a cleric!"
[12:21 AM] Willis Wilstar: Kaija doesn't stop laughing until they arrive, at which point it dies down
[12:23 AM] Willis Wilstar: Her grin, with her teeth covered in blood, does not die down
[12:25 AM] DiurnalKnight!: A rather startled cleric shows up, using his staff to begin healing Kaija and looking quite distressed by her appearance
[12:25 AM] Willis Wilstar: She doesn't seem to be anything but calm
[12:27 AM] DiurnalKnight!: The cleric finishes "Cleric, will it scar?" "W-what...?" "Will it scar, outsider." "I-I can't tell yet, there's too many factors..." She growls in annoyance "What clinic rooms are open?" "The last one on the left-" Without a word she walks there, barges in, and tosses Kaija onto the bed inside
[12:28 AM] Willis Wilstar: She sits up with an eery, jerky movement
[12:30 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Kaija, don't say a damn word, I'm still mad at you." She begins searching her pockets for something
[12:30 AM] Willis Wilstar: She doesn't say anything, but watches her
[12:31 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She pulls out a small pouch, Kaija likely recognizes the smell "I kept a small bit, in case you ever ran out."
[12:31 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I don't need that anymore. I'm back."
[12:33 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Shut up and eat some. Or I'll make you, if you prefer."
[12:34 AM] Willis Wilstar: "If you try to put that stuff anywhere near me I won't be happy." She speaks in a disturbingly perfect 4/4 time
[12:36 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Oh yes? Well, guess who isn't happy now? The answer is me, your princess. Now fulfill your duty as my lady in waiting and follow my orders, Kaija."
[12:37 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You'll never put me away again."
[12:37 AM] Willis Wilstar: She glares at her
[12:38 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I will do what I wish and what I think is best for you." She takes a small amount out of the bag "Open up."
[12:38 AM] Willis Wilstar: She doesn't obey
[12:39 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She walks closer to the bed, holding the leaves in her hand and cracking the knuckles of her other hand
[12:39 AM] Willis Wilstar: Kaija cracks her own
[12:40 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "You might have trained under my mother, but not nearly as long as I did. Give up now."
[12:40 AM] Willis Wilstar: "No."
[12:40 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She suddenly pounces on the bed, trying to use her superior size to knock Kaija back down onto the bed
[12:41 AM] Willis Wilstar: She's surprised and knocked down
[12:42 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She quickly tries to shove some leaves into Kaija's mouth
[12:43 AM] Willis Wilstar: She gets them in and Kaija quits struggling after a bit, her pupils dilating
[12:43 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She still looks rather angry, and stays on top of her just in case, holding the girl's mouth shut and massaging her throat to be sure she swallows it and isn't just faking
[12:44 AM] Willis Wilstar: Pretty soon it's obvious she isn't faking
[12:44 AM] Willis Wilstar: And looks confused, like she's just woken up
[12:45 AM] DiurnalKnight!: She lets go of her, but looks furious
[12:45 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Where are we?"
[12:45 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Why the hell are you on top of me?"
[12:46 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Shut up. I will ask questions, you will answer them."
[12:46 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Understand?"
[12:46 AM] Willis Wilstar: She pokes around the inside of her mouth with her tongue at the leaves. When she gets to her cheek her eyes widen and she brings her hand up
[12:46 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Wh..what did you do?"
[12:47 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I said do you understand?"
[12:47 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Yavae, tell me what the fuck you did to me"
[12:48 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I don't understand. I don't know what the fuck is going on. Tell me where we are, tell me why you're on top of me, and tell me where I got these fucking cuts"
[12:48 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I saved you you idiot, you did that."
[12:48 AM] Willis Wilstar: She sounds like she's on the verge of tears and panic as she responds
[12:48 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I.. I did this?"
[12:48 AM] Willis Wilstar: She shakes her head
[12:48 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Kaija, calm down."
[12:48 AM] Willis Wilstar: "That's not possible"
[12:48 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I couldn't.. I wouldn't do this."
[12:49 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Y-you're lying, get off of me!"
[12:52 AM] DiurnalKnight!: Her expression and tone switch from anger to stoic authority, her very air oozing a feeling of command "Kaija of the Fire Tribe! You are the honorable lady in waiting of Yavae, first daughter of the Fire Tribe's chieftain, your princess has commanded that you live up to your training and calm yourself and listen to her, do you dare resist this command, instead choosing to bring shame by insulting her?"
[12:53 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You..you should remove me from my post."
[12:53 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I will decide that." Her tone calms "Now, listen to my questions, and answer them."
[12:53 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Why did you stop taking all of your narcotics?"
[12:54 AM] Willis Wilstar: "..I thought it's what you wanted.."
[12:54 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "It was not. Not if it brought harm to you. What happens when you become sober?"
[1:02 AM] Willis Wilstar: She gulps
[1:02 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I thought it didn't happen anymore.."
[1:02 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Please answer the question."
[1:03 AM] Willis Wilstar: "That's.. that's who I really am."
[1:03 AM] Willis Wilstar: "That's Kai. My birth name."
[1:04 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I see. And 'Kaija' is, then...? What?"
[1:05 AM] Willis Wilstar: "A nickname"
[1:06 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "And is there any reason you act totally differently as "Kaija"?"
[1:06 AM] Willis Wilstar: She shrugs
[1:06 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I don't know.."
[1:06 AM] Willis Wilstar: She brings her hand back to her mouth
[1:07 AM] Willis Wilstar: "We don't get along"
[1:07 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Well, she can be damned for all I care. We are keeping you as Kaija, and that bitch can rot in hell for what she did to you so far."
[1:08 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Is it going to scar?"
[1:08 AM] Willis Wilstar: She starts to cry
[1:08 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "The clerics aren't sure."
[1:08 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Even if it does, remember- to get scars from battle with a deadly foe is nothing to feel shame for."
[1:09 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Look at them, Kaija"
[1:11 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I know. And I know that they don't change who you are. You will rest up, we will speak, and we will prepare for your rematch with her."
[1:11 AM] Willis Wilstar: "This isn't what I wanted to happen.."
[1:12 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I know. Things often go against our plans. Now, rest. I have more of your 'medicine' for you, do not let yourself become sober without me here. Where can I find more of it?"
[1:13 AM] Willis Wilstar: She gives out a couple names
[1:13 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You can find 'em at the market.."
[1:13 AM] Willis Wilstar: She hands her knife to Yavae
[1:13 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I don't want this"
[1:15 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I understand. Would you mind telling me... Do you know how you came to be? If you claim that bitch is supposed to be the 'real' you, which I disagree with anyway."
[1:17 AM] Willis Wilstar: "When.. when I started doing this stuff.. I just.. I was a whole lot calmer."
[1:17 AM] Willis Wilstar: "People liked me more so.. I kept doing it.."
[1:17 AM] Willis Wilstar: "Pretty soon I was doing it more than I wasn't"
[1:18 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I see. Well, which do you like being more?"
[1:19 AM] Willis Wilstar: "What do you think?"
[1:19 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I didn't know it still happened.. the last time was.. well.. before I met you"
[1:20 AM] Willis Wilstar: "The night of"
[1:20 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Hm... When you killed my assassin? I see. Well, we shall simply get rid of her or force her into line then."
[1:21 AM] Willis Wilstar: "...how?"
[1:22 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "We are the Fire Tribe, our ways are simple, honest, and brutal. We won't bother with complicated nonsense. Now, I will go fetch your medicine."
[1:22 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You don't get it, Yavae"
[1:23 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Hm?"
[1:24 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You can't force her into line"
[1:24 AM] Willis Wilstar: "You'd have to kill me."
[1:25 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Bull. That is not the kind of talk I expect from my Lady in Waiting, Kaija. Not from you."
[1:26 AM] Willis Wilstar: "This isn't a pride thing, damn it. She won't respond to pain, she won't respond to anything"
[1:28 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "She will respond to strength. Your strength. Remember what my mother taught you about strength?"
[1:31 AM] Willis Wilstar: "What am I supposed to do? I don't have any control when she's around"
[1:32 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Then get control. We'll practice on it later. She might have lived in this body once, long ago, but she lost her chance. You will not quietly let her waltz back into it, I will not let you."
[1:34 AM] Willis Wilstar: "This isn't easy"
[1:34 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "I never said it would be. Was meeting my mother's standards for being my lady in waiting 'easy', Kaija?"
[1:36 AM] Willis Wilstar: "It was definitely possible."
[1:36 AM] Willis Wilstar: "This isn't"
[1:37 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Nonsense. Now, I need to go get that medicine. Stay safe, I'm serious." She gets off of the bed "And if you put yourself in danger like that again, your punishment will be severe." She puts the bag next to Kaija's bed
[1:39 AM] Willis Wilstar: "I'll do my best to make sure my psycho alter ego doesn't ruin my face any further"
[1:41 AM] DiurnalKnight!: "Stay calm." She steps out
[1:44 AM] DiurnalKnight!: ===end rp===
