Fourth Strike

[no-object.livejournal.com]

[Oswald stands before the Southeast door and frowns as the question finishes playing. He's rather had it up to here with this town and its games: first his Psypher being stolen, this his memory, then those damn quizzes, and now being dragged from his 'home' to a rather forbidding house only to, once again, be stuck.

He's actually handling it rather well, all things considered]

...How am I to know any of these answers!? [tries to shatter the door with Belderiver, but like the other three, it remains a door and not splinters. Lowers his Psypher and mutters to himself]

Perhaps teaming with someone would not be amiss.

People died because they wanted to stop it. Combine that with a few threats, and- especially if they're few in number- people become scared to take action.

[he looks towards Audrey] That's what the message meant, isn't it?

… What changed things?

[luministimods]

[she doesn't back away from Oswald. he's not the one who scares her] I did nothing because I couldn't. My brother was already killed! [she looks as though she has more to say, more to admit--but she can't.]

Which message?

Resarci changed everything. He's got Dr. Caligin in the palm of his hand.

[glances away]

...This Resarci. Is he the man who disappeared after that strange gas? ...Or was it before?

[desertdaggers]

I understand. [watches her face for a few moments] Audrey- is there something that's being held over you in particular?

'This is what happens to traitors'.

How so?

[to Oswald] Before was what I heard.
