A Bizarre New World, Chapter One: Cat’s In The Cradle

[Jcogginsa]

Jamie wanted to scream as every word out of Boris' mouth intensified the sheer agony in her head. It felt like it was going to explode, and she had to do something, anything to end it. Even if it meant having to kill her half-brother. She began struggling against his grip on the sword

However, as she tried to get the sword away from him, another thought managed to fight its way through the pain, 'No, that's wrong! Why are you thinking like this?!'

That thought momentarily freed her, and she managed to release the handle of the sword and take a step back before collapsing to her knees, gripping her head as she finally managed to scream in absolute agony, the pain and anger quickly overtaking her again.

John heard the scream, and bolted out of the room, to find it's source. Someone was in trouble

Boris WIL: 00
Jamie WIL: 00

Boris rolls towards Jamie and then grabs the sword she's holding with both hands grasping the blade," Jamie what ever is compiling you to do this, fight it," Boris said.

As Jamie fought to rid herself of her murderous impulses, it was Boris' turn to feel the growing throb of pain in his temples. With a clatter, the sword struck the ground, coming to a rest a few feet away from both of them. The noise was agonizing to both at this point, almost destroying what willpower they had left. Rising to the forefront of Boris' mind was the same thought as his half-sister's, a yearning plea for bloodshed.

...kill...

she finally managed to scream in absolute agony, the pain and anger quickly overtaking her again.

Sandra sighed heavily. That scream wasn't one out of shock, that was for sure. Whatever was happening was either really stupid or someone was actually in trouble. And given all the **** that had happened to them the last day, it was probably the latter.

She sighed again as she set down the pool cue and hurriedly walked out to find the source of the scream.

With Dolly looking about as done with the day as her tone suggested, Suzie shrugged and let the line of inquiry wither.

She was there watching out for us, that's what's important. Had Toby Keith had betrayed the Speedwagon Foundation? And to what end?

Of course, at that moment, another terrible thought shot through her mind.

The will reading is tomorrow, but now that we're all in one place, if there's someone else on the inside waiting to get rid of us-

No, no. The flames of doubt in her chest smothered with a glug of ice-cold coffee. After all, Hironobu-san, he said it was safe here, and Lucy'd swept the perimeter and scanned everything all guerilla-like. That meant that-

Black irises quicked to the whites as the midnight scream shook the hallways. It was just behind them in the dining room, down the hardwood path leading back to the library.

"Oh, God."

Bolting upright she looked over the room for any personnel.

"...is there nobody else around at this time, Dolly?" She plead, standing shakily.

John heard the scream, and bolted out of the room, to find it's source. Someone was in trouble

"...oh, there he goes..."

Vivian choose to sleep at the banquet table, a picked clean bone hanging loosely from her mouth.

There'd been enough dangerous ordeals for one day. Knotting her fingers, Suzie tried to get her breathing under control. "Just let the Foundation handle it...they promised we'd be alright..." she muttered.

All the same, she'd be remiss if she didn't do her part, and so she monitored the dining hall of stragglers. It'd been some time since the buffet had closed, but there, nestled before a pile of bones she saw one of her siblings.

"Vivian?"

...how had she slept through that shriek entirely?! Even with the number of plates, that was simply uncanny.

"Viv, you gotta get up, mate," she continued, gently attempting to rock the witch awake. "There's something paranormal about from the manor study!""

As she heard Jamie's voice rise to a bone-chilling scream, Jinny looked around, trying to figure out where the sound had come from.

John heard the scream, and bolted out of the room, to find it's source. Someone was in trouble

Other's had heard it as well, with John being the first to bolt for the doorway. Without thinking, she headed after him, though she was unable to move as fast as he did she tried to keep up. Once she lost sight of him, she paused for a moment to look around. The last thing she wanted was to get lost in this massive architectural behemoth.

...kill...

" Jamie, I feel something urging me to kill. You should run!" Boris said.

[Yun Lao]

" Jamie, I feel something urging me to kill. You should run!" Boris said.

The insidious urges were worming their way deeper into Boris' mind like nails being driven into a coffin. The last thing he would recall was seeing the humanity leave Jamie's eyes as she picked up the discarded sword.

John and Jinny would hear the clatter of steel, cluing them towards the source of the sounds. The two would arrive, only to find a toppled-over suit of armor, Jamie looming over Boris' now empty wheelchair, a medieval sword in her hand while the latter was crawling towards her, a large battle axe dragging behind him. They were like marionettes, their expressions lifeless as something unseen guided their bodies toward what would be a bloody result.

Jinny called to John, "You take Boris, stop him any way you can. I'll stop Jamie."

With that, Jinny quickly approached Jamie, "Sorry Sis." with that she gathered up her strength and launched a kick to Jamie's stomach, hoping to knock the wind out of her, while preparing to grab the sword from Jamie soon after.

Jinny's foot would be seized by a black, bubbling-tar-like tendril that oozed from Jamie's form that proceeded to expand further out, forming definition before solidifying into a humanoid form.

It was a stand, Jamie's stand.

Still holding firm to Jinny's foot, he reared back and launched a barrage of fists at her.

John nodded, and turned to face the downed Boris. Concentrated, he summoned his stand to try an grab the axe from Boris. When his stand grabbed hold of the axe's handle, it seemed to be charged with a strange energy.

"Interesting, my stand seems to have charged the Axe in some manner. Given my stand's appearance, perhaps..."

Jinny's foot would be seized by a black, bubbling-tar-like tendril that oozed from Jamie's form that proceeded to expand further out, forming definition before solidifying into a humanoid form.

Still holding firm to Jinny's foot, he reared back and launched a barrage of fists at her.

John noticed the sudden emergence of Jamie's stand, and realized this wouldn't be as easy as simply pairing the two of them off together. Fortunately, he had a theory about his own stand, and if that theory worked out, he'd have a plan in place.

But before that, he needed to secure the Axe.

The fists did not reach Jinny, instead, they were met by a thick, multi-colored, semi-solid fluid with the consistency of pitch that seemed to envelop her. With [Gensis] covering her body, Jinny managed to slip her foot from its grasp, falling on her backside as she did.

"Viv, you gotta get up, mate," she continued, gently attempting to rock the witch awake. "There's something paranormal about from the manor study!""

Vivian woke with a start, expression verging on manic. Checking her environs quickly, she quickly pocketed several of the picked clean rib bones on the plate before her before asking blankly.

"... what did I do this time?"

"... what did I do this time?"

Suzie's pale face froze, confounded as much by the escalation nearby as Vivian's rather disjointed disposition. But for the plates of bones littered about the table.

"...just how long have you been asleep...?" she whispered before she started, "wait, no..."

"You haven't done anything but eaten well, it seems, but there's some supernatural happening about in the library," she explained, "Oh, where are the Foundation people?! We'd best get out of here."

Jamie stared at Jinny, and for a split second, it seemed as recognition crossed her eyes as she looked at her half-sister. However, it vanished almost as soon as it appeared, and with a roar of rage Jamie pointed toward Jinny, eyes shining with murderous madness.

Her Stand cackled in demented glee as he followed Jamie's order, charging at Jinny, its hands transforming into long, thin, javelin-like spikes which were thrust toward Jinny.

Still lying on the floor, Jinny tried to push herself back with one hand. As she did, she felt her body being lifted up and thrown backward like a swimmer being hit by an ocean wave. As she landed, she watched as the unnamed Stand speared the pool of liquid that was [Genesis]. The attack, however, caused no damage as the fluid flowed around the attack like a torus.

Struggling to her feet, Jinny quickly realized that she needed to snap Jamie out of whatever was influencing her. Or hope that one of the other siblings could find the source of this mind control and stop it there.

She also quickly realized that she was in serious danger. Calling her Stand back to her, Jinny calls out, "Jamie, please wake up. I don't want to fight you and I know you don't want to fight me."
