❧ 002 ❧ Comment Log; Back-dated to the afternoon of the 21st

[dominateartimus]

[It didn't take long for Sandrath to be wandering the halls of the Keep after scanning through the journals. Somehow, the lifeless pumpkins suddenly gained the ability to speak. They called out to him with various tones as he passed by, glancing at each carved structure. If it was true, one of these vegetables had his face on it or perhaps someone he knew.

At the end of the hallway, he found what he was looking for.

He stared down at the staked pumpkin with a scowl. It was laughing maniacally ever so often as it murmured secrets. Things that Sandrath would rather not have other people hear. He could have burned it or perhaps sliced it up with a weapon, but no, he decided to take the simplest of approaches...

He lifted the vegetable off its pike and his expression changed to a cruel grin as the pumpkin started to scream in agony. He did not flinch when it started to 'bleed' and continued to hold it until it fell quiet.]

So that's how I sound like if I screamed.

[He was silent for a moment, considering a thought.]

...If I die, will I go out like this?

Comments

[abstinentzombie]

[FFF SCREAMING FFFF--

Oh, it's just some guy with his pumpkin. Never mind. Kloe stops a few feet away and crosses her arms.]

Maybe.

[dominateartimus]

[Kloe's comment caused Sandrath to turn his head and look at her. His cruel expression was replaced by a small grin.]

Is that an assumption that you'll be the cause of my death?

[abstinentzombie]

No. It isn't.

[dominateartimus]

[Despite the pumpkin 'blood' on his hands, he crossed his arms with a raised eyebrow.]

So, do you randomly walk around and answer questions from total strangers?

[abstinentzombie]

Not really, no. Do you have a problem with it?

[dominateartimus]

Not really.

[He chuckled before moving closer, circling the doctor.]

Shall we move on to introductions or remain anonymous?

[abstinentzombie]

[The circling. Kloe does not approve of it. She watches him suspiciously.]

Doctor Kloe Bishop.

[dominateartimus]

[He stopped instantly. Ah, so this was woman he was warned about and talked to over the journals.]

Its nice to meet you in person. I'm Sandrath, if you remember talking to me over the books.

[Unable to help himself, he tilted his head and let his eyes switch to their black state for a moment before reverting to normal.]

[abstinentzombie]

Oh, right. You're the guy with the stupid name.

[Aaand the eye thing. That eye thing? Is creepy as hell. Kloe takes an instinctive step away from him, contemplating whether or not she should attack or run if he attacked her or something.]

[dominateartimus]

[He gave her a flat look for calling his name stupid.]

According to you.

[Sandrath noticed that she had taken a step away and his gaze focused on her face.]

I heard that you were the cause for quite a few deaths.

[abstinentzombie]

[Oh heeere we go.]

You heard right.

[dominateartimus]

I want to know how you did it.

[As he spoke, he kept his distance and tried to give off the impression he was not going to harm her.]

Because I find it quite contridicting that a doctor would have something that could kill people.

[abstinentzombie]

I didn't do it on purpose. As you seem to be implying.

[Kloe narrowed her eyes. Fucking people.]

I'm infected with a contagious virus. It was spread accidentally at a party over a month ago. Happy?

[dominateartimus]

The information that I was given was from another. Its not my fault for giving you that implication.

[He gave a small shrug with closed eyes before reopening them.]

Not fully.

[A small grin returned to his lips.]

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe glowered.]

Well of fucking course. Most of the hacks in this place would rather see me locked up than accept it was an accident and move on.

[dominateartimus]

They sound like stubborn fools.

[He laughed for a moment before stopping himself. San was rather curious about the effects of her virus on other people.]

So, what happened to the victims who were infected?

[abstinentzombie]

It either killed them right away or turned them fucking insane.

[The gist, anyway.]

And then they came back to life pissed.

[Minus the few crazy people who still like her FOR SOME REASON.]

[dominateartimus]

[The effects of the virus were quite intresting. A part of him wondered if his body could fight off the disease that plagued Kloe.

That is until his thoughts were broken by her second comment. This caused Sandrath to narrow his eyes.]

Did I just hear you right? Are you saying that people just come back from being dead instantly? Like nothing had happened?

[He took a step closer with an inquiring and demanding expression.

This wasn't right. There was a whole process that humans had to go through back in his world. It was either death or become a demon or an angel.]

[abstinentzombie]

Not instantly. It took at least a day. Did no one tell you anything except what a horrible Person I am?

[dominateartimus]

Nothing at all. I guess they were preoccupied with things.

[It probably didn't help that his first entry was a call for help instead of a 'where am I'.]

This is really bizarre.

[He couldn't help but chuckle, slightly crazed but he was in control.]

[abstinentzombie]

Bizarre? More like fucking insane.</i

[dominateartimus]

To you and everyone else. For me, its just bizarre.

[His grin widen a bit more. He wanted to test this and he was prepared to face a reaper for his experiment.]

...So, you're a virgin then.

[He was using his words as a momentary distraction.]

[abstinentzombie]

[.......what the hell kind of question was that. Kloe stares.]

That's the term for it.

[dominateartimus]

[He started to circle around her again, getting closer with each rotation. Her reaction wasn't the one he was expecting.]

For pretty much your whole life, yes? [Don't mind him suddenly beside you, Kloe.] Despite having the qualities for a femme fatale.

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe snorted.]

That's certainly something I haven't been called before.

[Aaand she took a quick step away from him.]
