It all starts with an explosion, because Rage is excellent at managing her anger. But an explosion isn't enough - she hasn't worked out all her feeling yet. Not until the city itself has gotten caught up in her anger at Fear for being unable to save Delight. And yeah, that means you.
So now you're a predator (Rage) or prey (Fear). You want to hunt, or you're being hunted. Maybe you were defenseless before, or maybe you're the sort who no one could be afraid of... but it's different now, because the gods are passing on their blessings to you. All the better to catch and kill, or run and hide.
What will you do? Try to resist the urge? Good luck with that. Who would want to resist, anyway, when it feels so right to give in? Hunt someone down like a cat after a mouse, or flee like a deer before wolves. Maybe you can find someone to help you, whether that means hunting in packs or looking for safety in numbers. Who knows, maybe you'll even make a few new friends while trying to kill your old ones.► This log covers March 13th-March 21st.

► If you get caught by a predator or have things turned on you by your prey, please let us know here.
no subject
[But as he comes in for a landing, that fire is already making its way toward him. He curses under his breath, attempting to control his descent as best as he can while making such a last minute change of course. He manages to avoid getting burned, but at the cost of messing up his landing. He goes crashing to the ground into a roll, doing what he can to minimize the impact of that messed up descent. Ugh...]
[He rolls into a position to get himself back up on his feet, drawing his lance as he turns to see that look on Rydia's face. It's just as unsettling to see her look so enraged, as it is to feel this peculiar sensation. That intense fear ripples up and down his spine with a cold shiver.]
Y- you can't!
[He starts backing up, and then, instead of actually trying to fight her as he usually might, he turns again and starts to run, as swiftly as he can.]
no subject
Rydia struggles to cut the distance between them, that's true, but she is confident and determined. She only wishes he wasn't wearing an helmet, the summoner would give anything to see his beautiful blue eyes filled with terror and pain.]
I can and I will.
[And even if he easily outspeeds her the summoner is running with all her energies not to lose sight of her enemy and she's quick at picking another element to use at her favour. Fire would have been more iconic, have its meaning considering it's with it that Kain and Cecil ruined her life, but she's ready to use anything needed.]
Blizzaga!
[The spell is once more not aimed at the dragoon, she wants this moment to last as long as possible, she spreads the spell on the ground in front of him to make it slippery and slow Kain as much as possible, if she's lucky he'll even lose his balance and hopefully hurt himself.]
Did you really think I really wanted to forgive you? I barely beared your presence and only for Cecil and Rosa's sake- I waited for this moment for so long.
no subject
[Her words cut him deeply, harsher than he might have ever expected them to be. After all, he keeps his distance, tries to remain just slightly apart from others, not to get too close. He'd often questioned whether or not he even deserved forgiveness, but she'd always assure him otherwise.]
...I thought that was all behind us! That we... were friends...
[Kain barely gets the words out, as he's mostly focusing on keeping himself moving, knowing that slowing down for even a moment is taking a risk he can't afford. He's prepared to evade, checking over his shoulder now and then, but even that's not enough for him to avoid the next burst of magic.]
[Yet again, he jumps, and yet again, he comes descending rapidly toward the ground... only to land right on the patch of ice. He goes skidding wildly, landing on his back with a heavy thud. He groans, his hand shaking as he clutches his lance in hand. He's not so sure he has to nerve to stick around and use it, but if he can't get moving, he may not have much choice. He struggles to his feet, only to fall flat over again on the slippery ice. There are going to be some awful bruises from this... Kain hurries, trying to take it more easily as he tries to get up again.]
no subject
[While they did Rydia always moved on and looked forward the day he would learn to forgive himself as well. Like she believed in Cecil, the summoner had faith in all of her friends and wanted to see them shine, not dwell on a past no one could change... yet there she was, allowing that little part of herself she hated to take over.]
We were what? Friends? Lovers? Please, if I wasn't so desperate to find a way out of here and you weren't my only connession to home I wouldn't even come near you!
[Lies, lies and lies. She's around him because she cares, because he's a dear friend despite everything and because Rydia is finally learning to see behind his distant attitude... but none of this matters now as Rage influences her feelings and boosts her physical skills. She wants the dragoon dead and she wants to see him suffer as long as possible.]
Do you really think you can run away?
[The air crackles once more around the summoner as she speeds up ignoring how her lungs are already burning, she seems to be able to gain some terrain each time he stumbles and falls... just to lose it once more as soon as he gets up on his legs once more. A hand is raised toward the sky as she summons thunders once more, if a well placed thundaga is enough to shock fishes in a lake and make them easier to catch hopefully it will work with Kain- after all his metallic armor seems to be made to make her job easier. Meanwhile, deep inside a small part of her brain is still begging him to hold up his spear and use it to defend himself.]
no subject
Running... is the only option I have left!
[At least he's fast, well trained, even if he's usually running to danger to fight it, rather than away from it as he's doing now. Kain just wants to keep going, keep pushing himself to his limit. He's panting and breathless, but he has to keep going. He jumps again, lands, and jumps, continuing with this pattern along the way. But then the world explodes in a crackling, sizzling burst of power. Ugh... he hates thunder magic...]
[This time, it's a bad, painful direct hit, shocking him painfully as it strikes his armor. He cries out in pain, falling to the ground. He moans in pain. To make matters worse, he's still overwhelmed by the urge to run, terrified by the sight of that green-haired menace coming after him. It's almost like she's a stranger, no longer the friend and ally he'd once known.]
What you said a moment ago... is that really what you think of me?
no subject
It's not! Raise your spear and fight, are you really just going to accept defeat like this? Even at the moment of your death you refuse to give me any satisfaction? You're a coward!
[The summoner has to stop to breathe after her attack, she's not used to follow peoplelike this and her body isn't trained for this kind of movements. If it wasn't for Rage she'd already be on the floor, panting and trying to recover but no, she's moving forward out of pure stubborness. Spells follow one after the other even if her mana is now reduced to a sliver or what it was and elements alternate each other as she tries to hinder his attempts to escape.]
What else did you expect from me? You ruined everything, always, how do you think I feel whenever I remember what we did under those gods's influence? Disgusted, that's how.
[Not once she had regrets, even if a bit weird those weren't negative memories and she accepted what happened... but now Rydia is trying to make him feel guilty. About Mist, about his betrayal, about their closeness in Hadriel... everything she can.]
no subject
[Yet he's consumed by this very cowardly instinct to run, not to stand and fight like a man ought to. It's very frustrating to him, feeling like he's not quite himself somehow… it wouldn't be a first for that, in a general sense, but he's never felt like this before.]
[It pains him deeply when she mentions how disgusted she'd felt. Kain had been a bit confused about his own feelings soon after it had ended, but it wasn't a bad thing. In fact, he'd… rather liked how it had felt, caring about someone and finally having those feelings returned. So now, though, she's giving him the ultimate rejection. Yet again, he's unworthy. No woman will ever have him, will they? He's such a failure.]
Is that how you truly feel about it?! Was there nothing positive at all?
[No, why should she care for the man who slayed her mother's dragon and burned her village to the ground? Kain struggles to get up, not to fight, but to flee. Unfortunately, she's striking him with a barrage of spells. Lightning sizzles and strikes him, fire flares at him and frigid ice makes him cry out when it also hits. He does his best to try and evade, but… he can only do so much. His endurance is pretty high, as he's physically very strong, but she's wearing him down fast. He needs to pull himself together. Kain groans as he pulls himself up from the ground, already starting to back up and start fleeing again. But he's much slower now.]
no subject
[Oh, it feels so good to see how her words are having an effect on him. The summoner bites her lips while she approaches, this feels so unnaturally pleasant. Why had she always repressed this kind of sensations? Why did the eidolons teach her to control herself instead of letting her power flow freely with her rage?
Oh, she would hate herself so much if she could hear her own words. Perhaps Rydia didn't quite know if she felt more than deep friendship for him or not but she certainly didn't want that. The closeness she enoyed, the kisses, she loved those... and she was atually... open to try again? Even if the obsession she felt under Love was gone she still cared, she still... still...]
Positive, uh? Do you really expect anything positive coming from you? You break everything you touch, you hurt everyone who dares to walk too close and you wonder if anything good can come from you? No, dragoon, and I am tired to pretend otherwise.
[She's tired, her lungs are burning and her mana is completely depleted by the time he slows down but the summoner keeps walking toward him. Just a bit more, she keeps repeating herself, she may be unable to use more of her magic but there's a deep determination as she places a step after another.]
Why can't you just die? Everyone would be happier without you around.
no subject
[But maybe she's right. Kain feels his heart sinking deeper into despair with each and every one of her words. He'd done terrible things. He's the only one of them who'd acted so disgracefully. His father would be so ashamed. He's brought dishonor to his family, the dragoons, and Baron.]
Is this how you've always felt about me? All along...? Do... the others feel that way too?
[Kain is wearing down fast. He'd usually have more stamina for this, but her spells are taking a toll on him. Plus, he's throwing in so much extra effort than normal to flee, to keep moving. Unfortunately, he ends up stumbling, falling over to the ground. He rolls around so he's at least facing her, panting heavily.]
no subject
[There's no voice because Cecil was guided by his father, he had companions, he had someone he loved waiting for his help, he had more than Kain ever did. And deep down the summoner knows that, she just wants to make him feel miserable.]
Why do you think we all celebrated Cecil and Rosa's wedding without even trying to find you? [It certainly wasn't because no one knew where the dragoon went or because the half lunarian knew his friend would return once ready...] And I was on my way to anoher party in Damcyan, wasn't I? Why? Because everyone is feeling better without you.
[She falls on her knees as soon as she reaches him, her whole body feels sore after running for so long and consuming all her energies but she's still finding the strenght to crawl toward him.] Are you finally giving up?
no subject
I never... I never presumed to be worthy of salvation, but I... I had to try anyway... but I failed. I know that.
[He coughs a bit, struggling to stand. He manages to just barely get up, only to fall back down again.]
I'm not one to ever give up... I tried, you know. I tried to be a better person than I am, to be a better friend... But I guess now I know the truth. They don't miss me, and they are better off if I'm not there...
no subject
Then why even trying?
[That's so unlike her, Rydia has always been so proud of her friends and even if sometimes they made mistakes she always knew they would someday suceed with their goals...but none of that matters as she finally reaches for him, sitting on the floor next to the dragoon and places a hand on his shoulder. She wants to savour this.]
Right? Sometimes people make so many mistakes they're unforgivable. Don't worry, the world will be a better place without you, I promise. Any last word, dragoon?
no subject
Am I truly beyond forgiveness?
[Kain stares up at her, eyes showing nothing but the terror that he feels all throughout him.]
asdfghj I finally managed to reply here
[There's no way out for both of them: one is destined to fall, the other to stain her hands with the blood of someone she may even feelings for. She looks even pleased as she wraps one lock of his hair around her fingers, pulling it slightly.]
You know what both my mothers always told me? Always keep a good ether around, just in case.- And they were right.
[She takes one small bottle from her pockets, playing with it for a moment as she admires the blue liquid inside. Rydia pops it open with her thumb and after one quick gulp at least a little portion of her magical energies are restored. The summoner smiles widely as she climbs over him as she did before when they were intimate, too bad there's no kindness as she looks down at him and presses her hands against his chest. It will not take long before the armor gets unplesantly warm and her intentions are clear.]
Fear not, Kain, I will cleanse you with fire.
OHHH!!! awesome, yay, let's make it memorable indeed!
[There really is no way out. Kain is too exhausted and hurt to move, even if he wasn't so paralyzed by fear. He can't fight back, can't do anything in his own defense. The worst part is, he fears she's right. He's always been afraid of this whole matter erupting one day, of Rydia rightfully taking the revenge she deserves. He and Cecil had taken everything from her. She might still have a mother and her entire village were it not for their actions. Not to mention all the ways he'd betrayed them all later...]
[So he can only watch in horror as she drinks that ether and replenishes her magic. He doesn't have anything on him to help himself, not that it matters at this point. She's got him right where she needs him. There's no chance to escape now.]
Please, don't do this...
[But it's a pathetic plea, both helpless and hopeless. Kain's eyes widen in fear as his armor starts getting warmer. He struggles, trying to pull it off, but only ends up shouting in pain, as it's too hot to even touch. HIs face reddens a bit with the growing warmth. The current effect on him mentally only makes this worse: He's never been so afraid in his life.]
You don't... you don't want to do this...
