Kapitel 3, Mind Shattered [Accidental Video]

[verlorenscasket]

 [The PCD is laying on the ground next to Frau's leg. The angle cuts off most of his face and captures the bright green of the tree he is leaning against. There isn't much sound, only that of shaky labored breathing. Frau shifts, fumbling for a cigarette, but ends up dropping it. It lands on the PCD. He goes to grab it and notices that the red

[He looks worn out. Drained. That's her first thought, and it makes Usagi instantly sympathetic.]

Hey... are you alright?

[verlorenscasket]

[The sound of another voice almost makes him jump. He had more than his fair share of hearing voices lately and this wasn't helping. Until he realizes that it's the PCD thing again. He eyes it wearily, unsure of whether or not to trust whoever was on the other side.]

Alright? [Cue humorless laughter.] No, I'm not alright. I'm a damn monster is what I am.

[buntails]

Eh? [Usagi shoots the video a quick, troubled look.] Why would you say something like that about yourself?

[verlorenscasket]

[He's so distraught that he doesn't even think that this isn't a private line. This isn't something he wants to let other people know, let alone broadcast.]
Because it's true. It's only a matter of time until I can't control it anymore.

[verlorenscasket]

No. And I can't find my lighter.
[Forget the fact the fact that his lighter is secretly the cross he wears around his neck.]

[For a while, Fran just stares, stares with blank eyes towards the shaking man. Did he really do that by himself?]

[It made him feel strange: A mixture of frustration and pride. He had sunk to the level of the idiot prince or Master, but...]

[Well, this certainly proved he was powerful.]

...

I don't understand how smoking those gross things will help.

[The sound of Fran's voice makes him freeze. He should have just put the guy down before he had the chance to mess with him, before he had the chance to look into his mind and root through everything he didn't want others to see. But instead of feeling the need to go out and stop Fran permanently something else rises within him. He picks up the PCD once more. Something about the guy's voice was different. Now he wanted to know what had happened.]

The nicotine helps calm the nerves. [Not that it really affected him much. It was more for the feeling of familiarity for him.]

[There's nothing but a flat mouth and a blank, hollow stare back at him, any twisted happiness that he may have had back then gone.]

But it'll kill you eventually.

[Video]

[verlorenscasket]

[The hollow stare is a welcome one after what he just went through with the guy.]

Everything'll kill you eventually. Might as well live while you can.

You don't look so good... Are you okay?

[video]

[verlorenscasket]

No, no I don't think so.

[video]

[wtfkoreanbbq]

What the hell happened?

[video]

[verlorenscasket]

I'm...not entirely sure. I think someone could see inside my mind and used that against me.
[Sounds crazier when you said it out loud.]

[swordsinside]

Not lookin' so hot there, buddy.

[verlorenscasket]

Not feeling so hot either.

[swordsinside]

Ya need a doctor?

[verlorenscasket]

I don't think a doctor could help me. It isn't physical. It's just so damn quiet out here. [All the more to listen to yourself think, Frau.]
