artemis' death by trickster

-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] is reading today, sitting on the sill of his favorite window in the livingroom, with the window cracked open. He's dressed very comfortably in a loose, cream colored dress. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] something like this http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/imagine-me-and-you-dress :) --
-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Twirling, spinning and skipping into the room, purple cloak lined with marshmellow fluff bouncing around him. His hard caramel dagger is out and he's licking it, blade stained with red blood. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] hasn't yet noticed. He tends to not pay attention when he's reading. Believe it or not, Fae likes reading as much as he likes eating. --
-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Spots Fae. --
CCC: Why,~hello~there,~pretty~bird~!~
CST: ... huh ?
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] glances up, and squints his eyes at the trickster --
CST: uhhhh ....
-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Sounds exactly like Artemis and he's still licking his dagger. --
CST: uh oh

CST: but he cant ! not here anyways

-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Lightly stroking Fae's cheek. --
CST: where ??? i dont think we can leave this place- and dont touch me like thaat

-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Still has a little blood. --
CST: wh-what did you ??

CCC: Heeheehee~!~Just~a~simple~stab~!~
CCC: But~he's~probably~bleeding~out~since~there~was~anti-coagulent.~
CST: oh god where is he ?!
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] tosses aside his book, hurrying to his feet in a panic --
CCC: Hmmmm...~Somewhere~in~the~woods.~
CCC: But~I~won't~tell~you~where~exactly~!~
CCC: I~did~a~few~other~NASTY~things~to~him~!~
CCC: Methods~he~himself~is~rather~fond~of~!~
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] grabs the trickster by the front of his shirt and shrieks into his face --
CST: WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!
CCC: Heeheehee~!~Elsewhere~!~
CST: you tell me where he is RIGHT NOW or i swear to god i will find a way to destroy your fucking EXISTANCE !!
CCC: Oh,~I've~been~a~bad~lil'~Trickster,~haven't~I?~You~should~punish~me.~
CCC: Come~on,~he's~boring~and~mean~!~We~should~do~something~fun~!~
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] shakes him, screaming at him, face going very red. --
CST: just tell me where artie is !!
CCC: Heeheehee~!~Somewhere~between~alive~and~dead~!~
CST: th-thats not what i meeeeaaan !!!
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] 's voice cracks, his shoulders starting to shake and cheeks dampening from tears --
CCC: Aw,~come~on...~We~should~have~fun...~Who~cares~if~that~ball~of~angry~bleeds~out?~
CST: i care !!
CST: i care a LOT !!
CCC: I~few~needles~under~the~nails~never~hurt~anyone~!~
CST: stopitstopitstopitSTOPITSTOPIT !!

-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] screams at the top of his lungs, sobbing openly --
-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Looks openly confused. --
CCC: You're~leaking,~pretty~bird~!~You~should~see~someone~about~that~!~
CST: im not leaking im CRYING you FREAK !!
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] 's talons are tearing into the other trickster's shirt --
CST: just give me my artemis !!
CCC: Aw,~you~look~upset.~I~know~how~to~cheer~you~up.~
-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Hands immediately start groping inappropriate places to grope. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] shrieks, shoving him away. --
CCC: Ooooh~!~Someone's~got~spunk~!~
CST: dont TOUCH me !!
CCC: Aw,~why~not?~
CST: because i hate you !! just fffucking tell me where my artie is !!

CCC: Why~should~I?~
CCC: He~isn't~any~fun?~
CCC: Absolutely~he~isn't.~
CST: hes my best f-friend !!
CCC: You~need~better~taste~in~friends.~
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] hugs his arms, sobbing and hiccuping between words --
CCC: Besides,~he's~soooooo~mopey~and~mean~!~
CST: please !
CST: please tell me where he is !!
CCC: What's~in~it~for~me?~
CST: i dont know i just want my artemis !!

CST: i dont CARE i just want to know where he ii-hiiis !!
CCC: Ugh...~MAAAAAYBE~you'll~find~his~half~dead~body~near~the~river.~
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] immediately shouts for Gwaine, his voice cracking. He's probably going to need help --
CCC: Heeheehee~!~Ta~taaaa~!~
-- CURRENT caramelCalimshite [CCC] Skips and twirls away, disappearing in a puff of sparkles. --
CCC ceased responding to memo.
CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] Comes down from upstairs. --
CSG: What is it, love?
CST: arties h-hurt !! w-we gotta f-find him !
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] is having a bit of a hard time talking --
CSG: Easy, easy, calm down.
CSG: It's going to be alright, love.
CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] A very weak knock at the door. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] nearly jumps out of his skin and runs to the front door, throwing it open --
CST: artie !!
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] Laying on the ground. Fingertips are bleeding, as are his eye sockets and mouth. --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] Just not speaking as he drags himself inside. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] shrieks and gets down to his knees, grabbing Artemis and holding onto him, panicking and not knowing what to do --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] His eyes are missing and, if he were to open his mouth, his tongue is too. --
CSG: What in the world...
CSG: How... What happened?
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] is too distraught at the moment to answer, his face against Artemis' hair, muffling loud crying --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] His hand shakily goes up to Fae's cheek, smearing blood against it. He mouths 'Dagger', lack of tongue now apparent. --
CST: wh-where is ??
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] chokes a bit, still having a very hard time talking --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] Nods his head down towards his waist to the dagger on his belt. He then touches his fingers to the main artery in his neck, mouthing 'There', doing his best to illustrate what he's asking. --
-- CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] Sitting beside Fae, his hands on his shoulders, trying to calm him down. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] is shaking like a leaf, hands fumbling as he takes the dagger from Artemis' belt. He repeats to himself over and over in his head that Artie will be ok and that he'll come back and be fine, he will, and presses the blade against Artemis' neck, against the jugular vein. He shuts his eyes and bites his lower lip hard enough to bleed a little, and slices. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] drops the dagger once it's done, keeping his eyes shut tight still, and buries his face against Artemis' hair, still repeating himself in his mind as he holds tightly onto him. --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] Lays there for much longer than usual, the damage on his body extensive. --
CSG: It'll be alright, love. Just stay calm...
CST: mmmrrrmh ...
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] sobs against Artemis' hair, still shaking hard. --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] After 5 minutes, the tell-tale shriek is far louder than it was the other time, dark tendrils shooting up from his sword to his eyes, mouth, fingernails and the right side of his chest. --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] His eyes shoot open and he gasps loudly, sucking in breath and coughing out black smoke that dissapates quickly in the air. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] whines, trembling and hugging Artemis tighter once he's alive again. --
CAE: That... Was far longer than usual...
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] squeaks into Artemis' hair, just clinging to him and crying, having a hard time calming down. --
-- CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] Sitting behind Fae, rubbing his back comfortingly. --
CAE: I'm alright...
CAE: A few months on the river never hurt anyone.
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] can't stop shaking, and he tries talking between sobs but, with the crying and combined with being muffles, it's pretty much nonsense. --
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] He's all healed, if still a little covered in blood. --
CAE: Thank you for understanding.
CAE: If I had the strength, I would have done it myself.
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] probably got a lot of it on various parts of his dress, especially the sleeves. --
CST: mmmmmuuhhr !
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] muffled --
CSG: Er... What did he do to you?
CAE: Well, he hit me with something to knock me out, took my cloak off me and tied me up...
CAE: Then, once I awoke, he... Started cutting.
CAE: He removed my eyes, my tongue, my... Manhood.
CAE: And stuck needles under my fingernails.
CAE: For a short while, I was a very 'eunich' individual.
-- CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] Snorts and laughs at the pun. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] hugs more tightly, with a high pitched whine --
CSG: That was a good one.
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] does not find it very funny 8( --
CSG: Er... Artie, now is not a time to be funny.
CAE: He then untied me and told me to find my way home.
CAE: So I did.
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] Hugs Fae back. --
CAE: I'm alright.
CAE: He wouldn't give me a reason beyond why he was doing it though.
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] tries to say something but just chokes on it and nuzzles Artemis' shoulder. --
CAE: Just that he hated me.
CST: t-trickster ...
CAE: A very nasty one at that.
CSG: I'll... Go make tea.
-- CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] Goes to the kitchen to put a kettle on. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] hiccups, and groans a little, scrunching up his face a bit --
CAE: Heh... His clothing was horrid.
CAE: Jarlaxle would be shitting himself at the bad choice in fashion.
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] lets go of Artemis abruptly to turn and vomit on the ground. Luckily he didn't get any on himself. --
CAE: ...
CAE: Are you alright?
CST: h-hurts
CAE: ...
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] Lays back and starts busting a gut, laughing. --
CAE: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] glares miserably at Artemis --
CAE: S-sorry! It's the humour!
CAE: The recently tortured and dead guy asking someone healthy if they're alr-right!
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] A very morbid sense of humour. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] whimpers, curling up a little, not finding it funny at all, and actually feeling kind of guilty. --
CAE: Ahah... Hah...
CAE: Really, I'm fine.
CST: was s-scared
CAE: You know I'll come back.
CST: s-still scared
CAE: Alright.
CAE: But look.
CAE: Not quite so dead as I was.
-- CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] Comes out with tea and biscuits. --
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] hiccups, and burps a little, still feeling a bit sick. --
CSG: I thought... Well, tea is goo-
CSG: ...
CSG: I'll clean up the vomit, don't worry.
CST: s-sorry ...
-- CURRENT sirGwaine [CSG] Sets the tea down and goes to grab a mop and a bucket of water. --
CAE: I'll have to tell Dirk about this, probably.
CST: f-fuck keep the t-trickster away from him
CAE: I will.
CAE: ...I'm worried though.
CAE: That... Thing... It knows what I know and has my same skills.
CST: c-cause its a t-trickster
CAE: It mentioned a game.
CST: y-you shouldnt play it
CAE: Why not?
CST: its bad and i dont even know h-how you can play w-without destroying e-everything
CAE: ...
CAE: I'll avoid it then.
CST: b-but ... if he already exists then youve played it somehow in the future or in an alternate r-reality or f-fuck i dont know
CAE: Likely and alternate reality.
CAE: An*))
CST: im scared artie i dont want the world to be destroyed
CAE: I'm not going to play that game.
CAE: I promise.
CST: m-maybe the t-timeline split and were the alpha timeline a-and he came back to this one l-like davesprite a-and everything will be ok ...
CAE: Exactly.
CAE: Stay calm.
CAE: I'm not going to play a game that will risk anyone's life.
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] hiccups, shivering a little. --
CST: p-promise ?
CAE: With the whole caverous black area where my heart should be.
-- CURRENT sweetyTweety [CST] sighs, and pulls Artemis into a tight hug --
CST: oh artie youve got a heart if you can l-love dirk and be my best friend
CST: even if its a little one
CAE: Heh... Maybe.
-- CURRENT artemisEntreri [CAE] Hugs Fae in return, patting his back gently. --
