[Tarran]

"Speak clearly, please, or I'm turning this radio off. You have this one warning, no more."

[Draignean]

"Speak clearly, please, or I'm turning this radio off. You have this one warning, no more."

The voice laughs, actual warm mirth, not mocking laughter. "Child, warning me is unnecessary, and I don't think you're going to turn this line off... unless you merely wish to be contrary." The voice sobers, still kind but more serious and somewhat sad. "That however is tangential, to answer your question I asked them whether they wanted to live forever, or die alone. Most chose the first of course... but with every herd there are those who will run in the opposite direction, despite the cliff in their way." The voice gathers a power as it speaks, conviction. "This choice I offer to you and yours, I shall grant you life eternal, or you will die here. You're special, the place set aside for you is among the highest. Your life shall never end, death shall be as a shadow, passing each day without touching you, and with as little substance as a reflection. Do not be afraid, those who have been bestowed my gift are already on their way to collect you." There's a pause before it continues... "Those who've joined you, they are not included in my offer. Their choice was made long ago... I gave them a gift, I gave them freedom, and they spat in it my face. Their fate is decided."

Well that doesn't sound good.

"Shut that bastard off", ashly couldn't take it anymore, but the floodgate had oppened and she had to let it out, "So turning arround and telling someone that you have to work for you now after getting them to fight for thier freedom is being honest, you fuck! You're just another bastard with a god complex", She then realises that she probably should not have said that, and attempts to grap the radio with the intent to silence the voice

You're on the other side of the pond from Tarran, you could probably hear it, but you've got some distance between you and the radio.

[wolfchild]

ok then ashly doesnt try to manhandle the radio, but she does get shouty if the voice speaks up again

[Tarran]

"I was serious. I was going to shut it off, because up until now you told me absolutely nothing of value. Now that you have, define the 'cliff' you spoke of."

[Draignean]

"I was serious. I was going to shut it off, because up until now you told me absolutely nothing of value. Now that you have, define the 'cliff' you spoke of."

"It's a phrase from old earth, from before ballistic weaponry. Hunters would run large animals off cliffs to kill them, all because the animals were too weak to face what they feared. Those you see around you died for the same reason, they couldn't master their fears, they couldn't put aside their weakness long enough to turn aside from their destruction. Their fate was what they deserved, there is no place in the hearts of my children for fear."


EDIT: Honestly? I thought that one was fairly clear.

[Tarran]

"'Your' children? So you're a religious nut? You killed them all? Well, goodbye, I did not enjoy our talk. If you want to be friends, come back when you're more... sane. Thanks for trying to be sane, at least."

*Turns off radio*

"That guy was a nut job."

OHHHH BURN!

...I have a nagging feeling that this will bite me in the backside, but whatever.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Thanks," Dom said. "That asshole was creeping me out." She kept her eyes on the back, but in near-total darkness there wasn't much she could see. "I'm thinkin' there's gotta be a way out of here. I mean he was messin' with Hoke, right? That means he got him down here somehow. So if we find the ship we should also be able to get out 'cause it'll be in like a hangar or somethin'." She glanced back at Tarran and James. "Anyway, what do you think that weirdo's problem is? One too many hits to the head or not nearly enough of 'em?" She was betting on the latter, since there was nothing wrong with people you couldn't fix with a few dozen punches.

[Draignean]

Well technically the ones he considers his children are the immortals, but close enough.

I'm not sure it's classified a religious nut, having your religion based on yourself makes it a little different. He's definitely insane as vibratin' spider though.

[Taricus]

So he's relativly sane compared to us?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'd say he's a cult leader. Which may be worse, actually.

QuickEdit: Also, I don't think any of our characters are too crazy. Now, anyway. >.<

He's even farther looped about and contorted than Taric, Cult leader doesn't quite describe him. He's... difficult to describe with redacting everything that's more than three letters long. 

It says something about him that were I to choose a individual name for this story it would have been, Deviation-22: Sins of the Father.

[Taricus]

He's going down for incest then!

[Draignean]

Taric, WTF.


Honestly, what the hell are you talking about?
