Better to be hated... [open]

[token_vengeance]

Characters: Erik Lehnsherr and YOU
Setting: Anywhere in the tower you like.
Format: Action or Prose, I'm easy.
Summary: A wandering mutant trying to sort out what's happened.
Warnings: Who knows, really. Erik's had a rough week, and showing up here and finding out his entire world's been destroyed? Is gonna put him in a bad mood.



Erik had read the note. Earth had been destroyed, and he was the lone survivor. Well, one of the lone survivors. There were other people here, clearly, but not any of the faces he wanted to see. Mystique, Azazel, Riptide, Angel, Emma.

While he didn't believe what was written in any way shape or form, the fact that his brothers and sisters were no where to be seen was troublesome. Someone, somehow, had been able to transport him here without his knowledge, under cover of darkness. It would take a powerful mutant or entity to pull that off without him even realizing it was occurring.

Whatever this place was, Erik didn't intend on staying. He had been a lab rat once before--never again.

So he wandered the corridors, the hallways, looking for information.

That's--

[Erik's jawline twitches.]

--abhorrent. The corporation should be razed to the ground.

[ An absent sigh. Well, he supposes he may as well be honest. While he hates those people, he supposes in the end that they'll get what they deserve--even if he can't, personally, deliver it himself. ]

... It was a matter of resources we didn't have to fight them with at the time. Resources we still lack, and one of them has always been time.

[ The Tower wasn't any better. He couldn't help but feel the value placed on their lives was even LESS than back then, somehow. ]

[token_vengeance]

If there is any chance that you could win against them, I urge you to keep fighting.

[Erik gave him a firm nod. There is conviction there; if he could help, he would.]

Something I intend to do here, as well.

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

We will.

[ If nothing else, he believed in persistence. He didn't feel the need to bring up SEES being the bigger problem at the moment. ]

... There needs to be more people who will fight here. There is only so much we can do if we're alone or disorganized, after all. It won't be easy, since they can disable our abilities.

[token_vengeance]

We could create a group, a resistance. Or at least start to talk among one another...

[But he trails off, pinpointing what else he said.]

They have removed people's abilities?

[That's the most alarming thing he's heard.]

[fractus-animus.livejournal.com]

[ A nod, and his eyes narrow a bit, even though he still looks fairly unbothered. He normally doesn't speak much, but he's a leader, and this is a serious situation, so he's willing to tell Erik everything he knows. ]

To answer your question, it doesn't appear to be removal so much as disabling. I can still summon my Persona, but I can't use it at times, and it's ineffectual on certain places and creatures. So it's easy to die if you're not prepared to fight normally or run. Which is why I think we need to stay together--at the very least, we need a plan.

And we need to not fight each other. Signless-san said the same thing; he's attempting to get us all to cooperate, which I agree with. He's one of the adult trolls, he has red eyes, yellow horns, gray skin. I'd talk to him, if you can. He'd be pleased to have more help, I think.
