Shit!

They're dead! The Nightlanders... they... killed them all. All the runners I've gathered were killed.

Well, almost all of them. My brother, Jane, and a couple of the others are still alive. But...


I can't believe this!


That's it! No more running! I'm going to fight! Those Nightlanders are following some one. It was a human who organised that attack. I'm going to make him pay.

I swear to god, Bill Dawson, I'll kill you!

Isiore

It took Crystal a little while to make it here. I was expecting her to show up sooner since I posted my location. But she found me non-the-less. I was staying in a separate location from the other runners, along with Keursio. The two of us were in a warehouse when Crystal and the armored character, Chinmoku arrived. As soon as they entered, I locked onto Chinmoku and Keursio's minds. They were completely immobile, and could not perceive what was happening. It was just me and Crystal.

"Good to see you again," I said, beginning to approach her. She raised her gun.
"Don't move," she said to me.

No problem. I altered her perception, giving the illusion I was standing in the same place, when in reality I was moving closer to her.

"You wouldn't shoot me, would you?" I asked. I already knew the answer.
"I'm under orders," she said. "I have to bring you back to our Master."
"Do you always do what you're told?" I asked. "If he wanted you to kill the man you love, would you?"
"I don't want to," she said. "But if I have to..."
"I know you won't kill me," I said, now right in front of her.
"I-" she started to say, but she couldn't seem to think of what to say. I had my fake self move some to the left, and her gun followed him.
"I know how you feel," I said. "I know everything about you."
"Then you know why I can't betray Master," she said.
"I know," I said. "But I won't come quietly."

My fake self drew his glave and moved forward. She fired a warning shot that wizzed straight by my fake self's head. The bullet shot through some crates at the back of the warehouse, but I made her perceive things differently. the bullet ricocheted off of a metal pole and hit my fake self in the back of the skull.

She was shocked. She collapsed, unable to believe what I had convinced her happened. She started to weep uncontrollably. I leaned down to her level and cleared the illusions from her mind. She opened her eyes and saw me in front of her. I leaned in and kissed her.

She froze. She hadn't been expecting that to happen. While I had her distracted, I tapped into her hypothalamus, causing her to fall asleep.

I took her weapons and approached Chinmoku. I snapped my fingers and Keursio came to.

"What just happened?" she asked.
"Just a little conversation," I told her.

I reached up and removed the metal helmet Chinmoku wore, revealing her face. Keursio gasped.

"That's-" she said.
"Isiore," I finished for her. "Your older sister. The two of you were separated 300 years ago."

I snapped my fingers and she regained consciousness.

"You!" she said.
"I know why you're here," I said. "You were siding with the Slender proxies so that you could find Keursio. Well, here she is."

Isiore and Keursio had a nice little reunion.

I left. Now that those two are together again, Keursio doesn't need me anymore. I left with the other runners. I won't be giving my location away again.

Taking a break

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. I'm really not much of a blogger.

I heard that Silvermist is killed. Good work Malky. I mean, it sucks that your ancestor sort of committed suicide in front of you, but at least the bad guys dead. Right? Um... I'm not very good at sympathy.

In other news, I've collected some more runners. Most of them are just kids. I'm going to have to try my best to protect them. I probably shouldn't be putting this here, but we're taking a break in Sacramento. We need a rest from the whole "running from evil deities" thing.

Well, peace out.
