Malaki: Mentions: Sky

Malaki listened to Sky talk to him and after she told him that Sephtis would leave him alone if he didn't react to him, and Malaki quickly understood the mindset he would have to adopt in order to deny Sephtis any joy. Just treat him like a bully. He's looking for a response from me. He wants me to feel hopeless and act scared for him. I can't let him have anything. He took a deep breath and wiped away a few tears before looking back at Sky. "You're right. I just need to deny him what he wants. Sounds simple enough." Malaki looked down at his hands before looking up at Sky again. "I haven't told anyone this yet, but... I've been hiding a part of me from everyone. When I was incarcerated within Ibex the first time around, I was locked away in an isolation cell. That entire time... all those years I spent in Ibex that first time around I never met another experiment. I may see an Inex worker on rare occasion but other than that, I never saw anyone again. And... it changed me in a way. I... began hearing a lone voice in my head. And this voice, it would tell me to lash out and do these horrible things. He's kind of like the devil on my shoulder, however he's seared into my mind, and he isn't going anywhere." He sighed before fiddling with his hands once again. "You probably think I'm insane for talking like that, but I wish I was lying to you about all of that." He buried his face into his knees once again, this time out of embarrassment.

Nyx || Mentions: Goddess, Blade, Levushka

As soon as she made contact, Nyx grabbed Goddess by the collar of shirt. She was above the woman, her knees set beside Goddess' abdomen, her head held high. She picked Goddess, bringing the woman closer to her, her eyes lit with fury, her nose was flaring, her breathing was deep and heavy. "How-fucking-dare you," Nyx growled, only have her eyes grow brighter, her grip around the collar tightning, "Before you sleep with any man again, think hard about who it is. Or it'll be the last thing you do." She shoved Goddess down with a hard shove before standing on her feet. The next thing that happened was her arm being grabbed, being pulled back, and without any hesitation she jumped back, only to see Blade letting out his frustration on her.

Not moving for a moment, she let Blade wail on her, but when she grabbed her head, thats when she acted. Sort of. Nyx walked over before Blade could bash her brains out, and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, yanking him backwards without any effort. As if anger was fueling her strength, she pulled Blade off of Goddess, sitting him down a few feet away from her, "I think she gets it now. And if she doesn't," she looked at Goddess, her eyes growing brightly for a moment before looking back at Blade, "I'll let her know." She stood straight once more, brushing herself off, rolling her neck, placing her hands on her hips, her head darting towards Goddess again, then back to Levushka, a dangerous look in her eyes. She didn't think Levushka as unfaithful, no, because she did indeed disappear, along with her sister. They disappeared, and Lev found Goddess, but that doesn't mean she wasn't ticked off.

Malaki: Mentions: Sky

"A name?" Malaki looked up at the ceiling in slight embarrassment before looking back at her. "His name is Benny. And no, I don't normally listen to him, but I'm afraid that one of these days he'll take over when I'm at my weakest and any empathy I have dies." He looked down before looking at Blade, wondering if he would turn into someone like Blade if Benny took over. "It's just... I don't want to be thrown into an insane asylum, because I know that isolation will only make it worse." He scooted a bit closer to Sky.

Jericho: Mentions: Ero and Sephtis

As soon as Sephtis disappeared from the room, Jericho released his tight grip on Ero. He looked into her eyes before biting his lip. "I... I'm sorry for that Ero. I didn't want you to see and freak out, but that was wrong of me to do that." He stroked her hair a bit more before seeing Blade go to town on Goddess, with Nyx breaking them apart. We're never going to get along, are we? He sighed before looking at Ero. "So Ero, I know what your favorite candy is, but what's your favorite food? Maybe I can cook something for you when we get out." He smiled at her, trying to keep her attention on him instead of the brawl that broke out behind her.

Jericho: Mentions: Ero and Blade

Jericho sighed and shook his head when he saw that Blade was getting into yet another fight. He snuggled up with Ero a bit more before answering her question. "Mac and cheese huh? I see that you have a simple palette. I do like Mac and Cheese as well. Maybe I should coom you some and throw a bit of bacon or hamburger in there. Trust me when I say that it is heavenly." He smiled at her, before a thought came across his mind and made his smile disappear. "Ero, you know I love you right? Well... when we get out of here and return to the real world, I... well I have a job as a construction worker, and that means I have to be gone to work for 8 hours or so of the day. And trust me, if I could, I would have you there." He squeezed her hands a bit before finishing his thought. "But, if I'm going to be able to have you live at my home so we can be together, I have to work. I know that you don't do well when I'm away from you, but if this is going to work, then I will have to work and earn money. Maybe I can shift my hours or whatnot so that I go to work when you go to sleep, so that when you wake up, I'm already back home, but I can't stay with you every hour of every day. Can you promise me that you will try to stay calm and wait for me patiently while I'm away at work? You don't have to answer right now, but if we're going to be together, then I have to work otherwise I won't be able to support us." He looked down before looking back up at her, hoping he had won her trust so they could at least have a chance once they got out.
