BF Session 13

[02:08]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	[Down in the med room...]
[02:10]	* [Tet]Ludwig	opens the door and peers inside at the patient.
[02:11]	* [kiri]Hans	finished his meal for some times now, and is now doing a push-ups. With his only one arm left.
[02:11]	<[kiri]Hans>	eighty...five.....*pant*.... eighty...six....
[02:12]	* [Tet]Ludwig	steps inside and closes the door behind himself quietly.
[02:14]	* [Tet]Ludwig	dusts off a nearby chair, sits down, and waits, watching the stranger's exercises impassively.
[02:15]	* [kiri]Hans	lay flat on the floor after he got to his 94th.
[02:15]	* [kiri]Hans	groan.
[02:16]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Only six more.
[02:16]	<[kiri]Hans>	*pant*
[02:17]	<[kiri]Hans>	I nearly died a while ago. I guess the necessary energy left to do that six more is lost out there in the sand.
[02:17]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Hmph.
[02:17]	* [kiri]Hans	sits back up.
[02:18]	<[kiri]Hans>	*sits
[02:18]	<[kiri]Hans>	And you are...? Another butler?
[02:18]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	No. I have no butlers, here.
[02:19]	* [kiri]Hans	shrugs.
[02:19]	<[kiri]Hans>	whatchawant?
[02:20]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	I am Ludwig Beetleoven, the master of this fortress.
[02:20]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	I believe you wished to see me.
[02:21]	* [kiri]Hans	tense up. Somehow his eyes does not express gratitude, but something else.
[02:21]	<[kiri]Hans>	So you're the owner of this place, eh?
[02:21]	* [Tet]Ludwig	doesn't change his position or expression to match the patient's.
[02:22]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	That is correct.
[02:22]	<[kiri]Hans>	Thank you for saving my ass out there, richie.
[02:22]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You're welcome.
[02:23]	<Gaatz>	WHAT'S UP, FAGGOT
[02:23]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	[...]
[02:23]	<Gaatz>	[shit! sorry!]
[02:23]	<[kiri]Hans>	Life's happy, huh? Surrounded by woman who do as you say. Lot's of food on the platter, lots of pleasant times, without danger of the wasteland.
[02:24]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	We get by.
[02:24]	<[kiri]Hans>	Get by, huh.
[02:25]	<[kiri]Hans>	That is all I want to say to you, richie-boy. I'll get my ass outta here as soon as I'm ready.
[02:25]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Idiot.
[02:25]	<[kiri]Hans>	Tomorrow, maybe.
[02:25]	<[kiri]Hans>	....!
[02:26]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Well, perhaps that was unkind.
[02:26]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	It's possible you're merely insane.
[02:26]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You'd know better than I, friend. Which is it?
[02:26]	* [Tet]Ludwig	remains stonefaced throughout.
[02:26]	<[kiri]Hans>	You just don't know how harsh the life is, out there.
[02:27]	<[kiri]Hans>	Be happy. enjoy it while it last.
[02:29]	* [Tet]Ludwig	opens his mouth and... makes a sound, a low one from the bottom of his throat, not entirely unlike a goose.
[02:32]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	[Like a huge, invisible hand, a wave of force strikes Hans dead center in the chest. His body slides backwards across the floor, then tumbles, coming to a stop against the wall.]
[02:32]	<[kiri]Hans>	Ack!
[02:33]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You didn't answer my question.
[02:33]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	At least, not directly.
[02:34]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	I have my own opinion, now, but I am still interested in hearing yours.
[02:34]	<[kiri]Hans>	What the fuck did you just---!
[02:35]	<[kiri]Hans>	You little fucking shit---!
[02:36]	* [kiri]Hans	grab Ludwig's collar, and shove him up against the wall, feet hanging in the air.
[02:36]	<[kiri]Hans>	I can't stay alive for years after I left Samoa with my friend without sanity, you fuckers!
[02:37]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Yes, clearly.
[02:38]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Even a madman would give more pause to threatening the one person in control of his fate.
[02:39]	<[kiri]Hans>	You? control my fate? HA!
[02:40]	<[kiri]Hans>	My fate is mine to choose.
[02:40]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	No longer.
[02:41]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	I frankly cannot conceive why you would choose to leave this place, but that is immaterial.
[02:41]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	I will not allow it.
[02:42]	* [kiri]Hans	release his grip, and let Ludwig fall down on the floor with a thud.
[02:42]	<[kiri]Hans>	I hate you.
[02:42]	* [Tet]Ludwig	picks himself up and takes his seat again.
[02:42]	<[kiri]Hans>	I despise you.
[02:42]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	I don't care.
[02:42]	<[kiri]Hans>	I hate you and your uppity-looking position.
[02:42]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You have made that clear.
[02:43]	<[kiri]Hans>	I hate how you live your life happily inside this fortress and leave people out there to die.
[02:43]	<[kiri]Hans>	Samoa got wiped off the map. Without any help.
[02:44]	<[kiri]Hans>	While you sit there and enjoy your life.
[02:44]	* [Tet]Ludwig	finally changes his expression, face twisting with rage.
[02:45]	* [Tet]Ludwig	opens his mouth and makes the same sound as before, only louder. Volume seems to control the effect's intensity, as this one throws its target bodily across the room, feet leaving the ground, slamming it into the far wall. A couple of bottles are shaken from their shelves and shatter on the floor.
[02:47]	* [Tet]Ludwig	still isn't satisfied with this. He stomps across to where Hans has fallen now, picks him up, and punches him across the jaw.
[02:47]	* [kiri]Hans	spit his blood on Ludwig's face.
[02:48]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You imbecile. How could you have lived this long without realizing how the world works now?
[02:48]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Charity is DEAD. You take what you can and hold on to it.
[02:49]	<[kiri]Hans>	hahaha! What now?! You got angry and you gonna kill me!? Pfft! I DON'T FEAR YOU, FUCKFACE!
[02:49]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You're lucky I'm such a Goddamned FOOL to still believe in it, or I'd have left you to bleed out your last in the dirt!
[02:49]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Samoa was dead before we even knew it existed!
[02:50]	<[kiri]Hans>	BECAUSE YOU DON'T CARE SHIT ABOUT IT!
[02:52]	* [Tet]Ludwig	screams the sound in Hans' face. One long, loud blast, pushing his body backwards against the wall from point blank range. After a few seconds, the wall actually starts to bend from the bottom.
[03:02]	* [Tet]Ludwig	runs out of breath before he runs out of anger.
[03:04]	* [kiri]Hans	roll on the floor. He's still breathing, but show no sign of his usual faggotmouthery.
[03:04]	<[kiri]Hans>	*cough!*
[03:05]	* [Tet]Ludwig	stands over him, breathing hard.
[03:05]	* [PB]Teilya	, with a loud crash, blasts out of the floor by smashing it from below with her hammer. With a smooth twirl she drops down next to her master, sledgehammer held in front of her menacingly.
[03:05]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	There's... one...
[03:06]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Do you... get it, now?
[03:06]	<[PB]Teilya>	Master!
[03:07]	* [kiri]Hans	didn't respond. He's still busy trying to breathe properly.
[03:08]	* [Tet]Ludwig	grabs a handful of Teilya's skirt and pulls himself back to an upright position.
[03:09]	* [Tet]Ludwig	evens out his own breathing with a heavy sigh.
[03:10]	* [PB]Teilya	takes a glance at Ludwig worryingly, then back at Hans with increased fury.
[03:10]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	There are four more behind her, loyal to me, who have seen the same horrors as you have, believe it or not.
[03:10]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	And I think I've proven even to your dulled intellect that I am not nearly so helpless as I appear.
[03:11]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	If I give the order, you will die.
[03:11]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	Do you want to die?
[03:11]	<[kiri]Hans>	My...*cough*...My life is mine.
[03:12]	<[kiri]Hans>	You can't...*cough*.... choose my...*cough*....fate.
[03:12]	<[kiri]Hans>	For I am...*cough*...HANS!
[03:13]	<[PB]Teilya>	Master...your orders?
[03:13]	* [Tet]Ludwig	stares down at the man. Hot anger has faded completely, replaced by cold sorrow.
[03:14]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You wouldn't listen. You just wouldn't listen.
[03:14]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	I wanted to help, but...
[03:15]	<[kiri]Hans>	I will... save everyone...*cough*...by myself if I have to...! I...I won't.... lose.....
[03:15]	<[kiri]Hans>	Sven... Prero... Maxwell... Everyone...
[03:16]	* [kiri]Hans	is out of breathe. He can't say anything more because of the running pain.
[03:16]	* [Tet]Ludwig	kneels down at Hans' side.
[03:17]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	You don't have to do it by yourself, you great idiot.
[03:17]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	That's what I've been trying to tell you.
[03:17]	<[kiri]Hans>	You....
[03:17]	* [kiri]Hans	twisted in agony and pain.
[03:17]	<[kiri]Hans>	Are you going to.....help?
[03:18]	* [Tet]Ludwig	whispers something, too low and fast for even Teilya's ears to make out properly. The effect on Hans, however, is instant: sleep, peaceful and deep.
[03:19]	* [kiri]Hans	is down in deep slumber.
[03:19]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	T... Teilya.
[03:19]	<[PB]Teilya>	Hm-ah! Y-Yes, Master?
[03:20]	* [Tet]Ludwig	tries to stand back up, but stumbles the second he moves his legs, falling over onto his back.
[03:20]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	...two things, now.
[03:21]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	First, go and find someone else, anyone. Have them carry me back to my bedroom. I'm going to sleep for a while.
[03:21]	* [PB]Teilya	frantically puts away her hammer and scoops Ludwig in her arms, listening carefully and nodding as he speaks.
[03:21]	<[PB]Teilya>	O-Of course, Master, you must be tired by now.
[03:22]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	When that's done... treat that man's injuries and strap him back into the bed.
[03:22]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	He'll be out for hours...
[03:22]	<[PB]Teilya>	Huh? Oh, um, okay...
[03:22]	* [PB]Teilya	looks a bit uncertain.
[03:23]	<[PB]Teilya>	Um...do you want me to keep him sleeping?
[03:23]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	It's not really... a choice at this point. The spell I put on him...
[03:24]	* [Tet]Ludwig	loses the rest of that thought, trailing off into mumbling.
[03:24]	<[PB]Teilya>	Master!
[03:25]	* [Tet]Ludwig	is roused momentarily by her call.
[03:25]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	...oh yeah... might wanna see about... getting that hole in the floor patched up, too...
[03:26]	* [PB]Teilya	was silent for a moment, then let loose a small chuckle and nods.
[03:26]	<[Tet]Ludwig>	don' jus' stan' there... g't'it...
[03:26]	<[PB]Teilya>	Of course, Master.
[03:26]	* [PB]Teilya	quickly snatches out a communicator and starts up a fortress-wide call.
[03:27]	* [Tet]Ludwig	goes limp in Teilya's arms, beyond the reach of the waking world.
[03:27]	<[PB]Teilya>	Emergency! We have an emergency in the medical room, requesting nearest personnel respond!
