"Ya, I am, I just-" STAB IN THE FACE

[Chaoswizkid]

Damnit Zaerosz! We practically just woke up, and you've thrown us into our SECOND ALLEGIANCE CRISIS ALREADY. How are we supposed to know who to kill or not kill or trust or what!?

Okay, so, let's recap: Carver (said he) put us back together after we were torn apart by horrifying things that we shouldn't think about.
Laureli arrested us, then un-arrested us, and then saved us.
This guy has Laureli handcuffed and is sneering at us.

We have a knife and (possibly malfunctioning) alchemy powers.

Hmm...

Say "What's going on...?", and then wait from a cue from Laureli. If we get the signal to attack, then we fuck him up because fuck this world and its constant fucking with us. If we don't... then... I guess we pocket the knife and see how it plays out.

[Zaerosz]

((hokay, time for railroading. CHOO CHOO))

"Who are you?" you ask, gripping the knife tighter. The man chuckles, and you shiver slightly.

"Reymond Laswell, commanding officer of the Blanche division. At your service." He bows mockingly, knocking Laureli over in the process. "Oh my, terribly sorry."

You back up to the wall. "What are you doing here?"

Reymond thinks for a moment. "Weeeeeeeell... I was supposed to bring back this one," here he kicks Laureli in the ribs, "dead or alive, and I much prefer dead. They tend to squirm less." He chuckles again. "Ah, but I do believe you'd be worth at least a promotion, my dear. Tell me, do you know Alfonz Carver?"

You blink. "Uh... yes?" Why is everyone so interested in him?

"Well, then, that makes things MUCH easier. You're under arrest for aiding and abetting a wanted criminal."

Shit.

"Wait, I'm not with him! I'm with Laureli, not Carver!"

Reymond blinks. "Huh. Well, then."

You sigh in relief.

"You're under arrest for aiding and abetting a wanted criminal."

Shit.

You glance at Laureli - she's shaking her head, as if telling you not to resist. You look back to Reymond. "I'll go with you on the condition that Laureli stays alive."

He appears to consider this for a moment. "Hmm... Sure, why not." Then suddenly he's in front of you, you're handcuffed, and he hits you in the side of the head really hard. The last thought that goes through your mind is why can't I stay conscious for more than an hour at a time?

[Zaerosz]

((hint: you have two days to theorize before the next update. This will also be updated on my Tumblr page from now on.))

Everyone is fucking evil and need to die. Except Laureli.

[Chaoswizkid]

Theorize? Theorize what?

The only people who have ever helped us out are apparently criminals.

Which means the only people we SHOULD care about are criminals.

Which means the only people we should be against is whoever is calling them criminals.

We've done nothing but be torn apart, discover powers, and before we can even figure those powers out we've been arrested, then un-arrested, then almost killed, and now we're ARRESTED AGAIN. All we want to do is stay conscious for more than an hour at a time and actually be able to FIGURE SHIT OUT. But nooooooo, we can't HAVE THAT. WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING.

Fuck Reymond Laswell, fuck whatever the Blanche division is, fuck whoever or whatever they work for. We're not going to stand for this constant abuse. We're going to escape with Laureli, and if she doesn't want to come with, then fuck her. Then we're going to find Carver, and if we find him and it turns out he's been using us/lying to us/left us to die, then fuck him too, we'll be alone. Alone is good. Why? Because everyone who is not us has decided to fuck with us.

And anyone who tries to stop us? We'll give them a damn good reason why Alchemy should be illegal.

I'll give you a hint. It'll rhyme with smelting vases.

I got a question how much work would it take to make one of those air pop things bomb things insides someones brain?

[Zaerosz]

I was wondering why this topic was being filtered by the network. Perhaps I can clear things up a little regarding the 'criminal' issue.

Carver and Laureli have history together. Carver fled the capital city of the region after discovering his power and accidentally murdering several people. Laureli, being a police officer in the city, recently came to look for him in his last known location - without authorization, thus rendering her a criminal.

[Zaerosz]

And also I'm not sure what you mean by 'one of those air pop bomb things'.

[Chaoswizkid]

I'm pretty sure he's talking about when we pulled hydrogen from the air and made an explosion.

Also: 'filtered by the network'?

[stabbymcstabstab]

yep thats it if we can pop one of those in someones body we can screw them up pretty bad.

[Zaerosz]

Filtered by the network: I was online at my high school, and our shitty internet filter works based on weighted phrases and guesswork.

Air-bangs: We were able to do that because we were in contact with what we were alchemizing, in this case the air. To perform one of those inside someone's brain would require physical contact with the head or the brain (in order to use the hydrogen in the chemicals) or for the brain to be exposed to the air. The first case would be rather pointless, as you could just atomize their head entirely, unless you were going for subtlety, and meeting the criteria for the second would kill most things anyway.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Hmmmmmm well then we must figure out how to do that then!

[Zaerosz]

As much as I am a fan of going beyond the impossible, this isn't a matter of "let's figure out how to do it". It can't be done except in very specific situations, and those specific situations would enable far more deadly outcomes anyway, rendering it pointless altogether. Especially since the bang is the hydrogen reacting with oxygen, and there is very little free-floating oxygen inside most people's brains.

Update coming later today.

Blow their lungs then, instead.
