A 'brolly later you can find,
For now, settle with peace of mind.
There are strangers wandering 'bout;
Their intentions you should doubt.

A metaphor of ages past that not all things can everlast, for if such was the way things were then nothing new would come for sure.

New things keep you on your toes and ready to see how things will go, since no one like a boring day where everything's a bland cliche.

You're in such a rush to get out of the rain, a great big hurry made for such little gain; I bet if you stopped to think for a bit about why being wet is so dearly unfit that you'd simply give up and remit your flight and stay to enjoy nature a bit tonight.

Why run to home; what's there for you?
Is it really that bad to make one into two?
Why not turn back, change course, and see things through...
Go meet your strange watcher, have them to pursue.

Cellphones are luxuries your family cannot afford,
You turn towards something that has you floored,
The plain fish in the tank is no longer unadorned,
"Little one, it is too late to be just warned,
But there was a dark being with a glowing red eye,
Your parents are gone and I fear you will die.
The building is not safe any longer,
You must survive and become stronger,
There are powers at play beyond this plane,
In this rain, awaits you pain." "This is insane!"

You close your eyes and try to breathe,
but if the fish is right--your emotions seethe.
"Little one, get out of here."
It's harder to see with every ____.

[ OOC note: Please keep the poetry arguments and meta back and forth in IRC if you absolutely must have them. ]

If that fish is right, the end is nigh.
Wait, how can we be sure you aren't high?
Rub your eyes and get something to drink.
Something about this raises a huge stink.

were not our senses so mislead.
Where can you go to flee this threat?
An answer that I have not yet.

Danger may still be lurking near!
When you run do not forget your pack,

While I agree that it is quite odd
that you've been hearing a talking cod,
the danger may not be Satanic.
Keep this in mind - Do not panic!

Go to your room. Swiftly, true,
but remember, careful too.
Get a plastic coat for rain,
A matching hat, then check again,

that you have everything you need
to keep yourself all safe indeed.

The closest door brings you to the kitchen first,
Where you find your mother, looking her very worst,
On the floor while making tomorrow's school meal,
Not even the fGhost Sheriff you've wanted can heal
What has happened, despite her efforts today,
The fish wasn't lying and you are not okay.

>>125560
First thing please, child, look away.
It's not yet time to see, today,
the terrible things that one can see.
Grab your lunchbox, please trust me.

Do you have a place to go?
Any good friends that you know?
A trusted relative to tell
of the trouble that befell

your mother? Still I would suggest
you go to your room and get dressed
in the warm clothes mentioned before,
then out again through the back door.

Get your lunch, and a raincoat to ward off the rain.
Do you have other relatives? They can ward off the pain.

Well that's pretty fucked up. I'm betting her head is in the oven, and it looks like someone jizzed all over the place.

Get a kitchen knife and continue with the exploration.

The worst has come to pass, it seems;
Dead on the ground, it seems, it seems.
Anger and fear together, it teems;
Welling together it teems, it teems.

A chorus of screams, red blood that gleams; why your nerves must be on the verge of extremes.

Sit back, relax, there's nothing you can do.
All you can do now is see things through.
Whatever is out there,
Whatever remains,
It's weapon is fear; it's terror that reigns.

Do not fall prey; do not look away.
What you see here you must face on this day.
For your family and friends, and all who survive;
You must steel yourself, you must stay alive.

So cast off false pretenses,
And all signs of doubt.
Man your defenses,
And get ready to scout.

You are not safe, and you are not alone;
Find the wicked, and through it's blood atone.
You owe it to those lost,
As well as those found,
Show them what it means to be crossed.

To home you ran at the quickest pace,
But perhaps your mistake was your great haste.

You take a kitchen knife, your lunchbox and what you could think to grab to eat and drink without vomiting or crying too much. You scamper through the house and make it to your bedroom. You dump your textbooks on the desk and stop hugging your Sheriff fGhost to try and assess the situation. It's raining out, so you put on a raincoat. You put your food in the backpack, and set the knife down. All of your plushies don't bring you comfort today. You break down and cry on the corner of your bed.

Where can you go? That's not easy to say. You have only been in this family a couple of years.

They were your foster parents. Your foster siblings, and possibly their real children, are older and you just got your own room.

You could go to your "Aunt Sharon's" place. She's not technically your aunt, but this family has been extremely nice to you. You could also try to go to your friend's house. You all her Bean. The closest police station is fairly far away. Your only other option would be going to your teacher's house. Mrs. Riddlesperger had helped you through a lot since you started school.

You now need to decide on the where,
Then hope that you can make it there.

>>127935
Hurry to the house of the friend you call Bean,
What you need now is a change of scene.

>>127935
For safeties sake, to the home of Bean.
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.

>>127935
An adult is what you need
right now, though friends are fine indeed.
My first suggestion is your teacher,
for if the problem's not a creature,

but someone who knew your mother,
Sharon's house may be another
target for the murderer.
Riddlesperger - Go to her.

Keeping together is quite a feat,
and thanks for wearing your rain gear.
Look both ways before you cross the street.
When you're there, you can shed a ____.

Well well well, what have we here?
I'm sorry dear child, but you must remain here
Or risk bringing harm to those you endear
It's tough, I know, to swallow the fear.

Get to the phone, you have no time to waste;
Call up everyone you can, with all post-haste.
Let everyone know of your dire straight;
Let everyone know what might await.

It's better to remain here, for all it's worth.
Who knows what this situation might have unearthed?
Lighting rarely strikes the same spot on earth
So here would be best to give a wide berth.

Whatever caught your family caught them unaware,
So please keep that in mind.
The best you can do is let everyone beware,
So that they can respond in kind.

Though the tragedy is great, and unknown is your fate, the simple fact remains:
This is your home; there's no need to roam; I'm sure you have the brains.

This is your Alamo; your stand of the Spartan.
This is where David stood up to Goliath.
Hold strong,
Hold fast,
Stand tall,
Stand true.

There's no cause for worry when we're right here with you.

>>127973
While I can approve of the sentiment,
the phone's dead, so warnings can't be sent.

>>127935
Also, get a knife.
You may need to fight for your life.

Your current goal is to make it to Bean's house. However if you can get a hold of a phone before then, it might help. You take hold of the knife and step out of your room and into the hallway. You close the door behind you, not wanting to leave behind all your precious collectible stuffed animals.

Your body freezes for a split second. That isn't blood. It's a hand or at least something similar enough to one. It is attached to an arm, which is attached to a body. Your eyes open wider and you grip your knife tight, racing across the hall into the bathroom and closing it behind you.

You lock the door nice and tight,
Tonight is looking quite the fright.

This specter seems to be quite small,
Perhaps there is nothing to fear at all.

even play a helpful role,
but I'd suggest that you stay wary.
Ask through the door, but do not tarry.

Keep an escape or curtain close,
and if you can't escape that ghost,
the curtain serves to pin it down,
keep it blind and flailing 'round.

If it doesn't try to enter,
but converse, then you can center
your effort on talking back to it.

The door begins to shake, and you hear it being scratched. You crawl up to the window and drop down your pack, and your knife a safer distance for dropping to the ground.

It doesn't seem to notice you yet. Its legs make it oh so very tall, and its arms are lengthy and slender. You hear a crashing noise from the bathroom in the house you abandoned.

"Oh wow, ________! I am so excited that you got here. I was just trying to call you and invite you over, maybe that's why you didn't answer, hee hee.

You hurry and dial 4-4-4, and the phone rings once and crackles. Someone answers, so you begin to tell your address and that your parents are dead, before you are cut off with a wet raspy voice.

"No one can help you from us, child. The Watcher sees all. My name is Doctor _______. You will be mine, the question is how many people will you get killed beforehand?"

The line cuts off, and the phone service is dead. The display is a fuzzy red.

"Bean, my parents are dead, and I can't even get a hold of anyone to help from your cell." Bean's expression seems like she wants what you are saying to be a joke, but over time she seems to express and react from what is going on. "I don't know what's going on, but I need to go. You need to get away from me and hide. I don't want you to die because of me, you are my best friend."

"I just don't understand, ________, why would someone want to kill you and your family? What did you do?" Bean is very upset. So are you, having to tell her of your situation has brought you both to ____s.

"I would bring you with me, but it doesn't even look like they want anyone but me. I'm going to try and find this doctor."

You start to run towards the fence in the direction of the figure.

A pounce from a beast to make you its prey,
An inexperienced stab, the monster you slay.

Forget the figure. It's too soon for that sort of thing. Head in the direction with the fewest and smallest active assailants. Try to dodge them. Keep running.

Stay careful please, ____, you must be quite tense.

Run where? This has to end somewhere. You either kill them all or you get captured. You could save yourself a lot of trouble by surrendering.

Ah yes, the thrill of the hunt
The things of nightmares you now confront
Grossly outnumbered, one-hundred to one
This could turn out to be lots of fun!

Stranger still things start to seem
When you stop and consider these things can bleed
How much different can they really be, then?
Except, of course, how much blood they need.

An eye for an eye,
Ten lives for a life.
Cry a sweet tear
And brandish your knife.

He'll be your companion,
For as long as you need;
He'll wipe away all your fear,
As long as you let him feed.

A grisly reminder, before you go;
Those around you will die.
No matter friend or foe,
I'm not going to lie:

You're a danger to yourself and others.

Will you give into the rage?
Succumb to circumstance?
Will blood stain the page?
Like a grisly romance?

I'm curious to see just how far you will go;
Wrath and Sorrow along for the show.
Because you may never hear another's voice.
Not even a simple "Hello".

There's little time to run and hide,
The next horror to you is mostly denied,
Its left hand stabs into your chest,
Something grows, and begins to nest.

There's three closing in, and more surround,
The desire to fight, to stand your ground,
Something inside of you guides your blade,
A strength behind your weapon of kitchen grade.

The one in the tree is lunging straight down,
The slender one is reaching to grab your crown,
The hissing red near to your back,
How shall you move, how to attack?

You look around the room, but it's hard to move. You are heavily restrained, and barely dressed. Your eyes finally open, and there's a strange man wrapped in messy bandages in front of you. You recognize the voice from the phone.

You decide to act possessed, but the Doctor merely cackles in response.

"Surely you felt it, little one,
When your knife was making life undone,
There's a killer in you I want myself,
Surgery to put myself on the Gods' shelf."

It hurts.

You can't move that well, and your torso hurts like absolute hell. It hurts to breathe, and you're heavily restrained. Your neck is in pain, and your limbs are strained.

As well as the fact you're mostly nude,
The Doctor's bedside manner is quite crude.

It'd help to unsettle him - how could that be, though?
Perhaps he'd be shocked if you called him a pedo.

Where did your hair go?
I'm pretty sure you had it a minute ago...
Ask him that; all other questions forgo,

This could be unpleasant for us both,

why not remind him of his oath.

You do your best to twist and turn for a moment, and you go through questions in a broken voice of fear and embarassment. Why are you bald, why would a doctor do such a thing, how are you a killer, please don't do anything to you.

You're bald so I can access your brain,
Not planning to rape you, though I am insane,
I have The Builder's eye, ablessing indeed,
But I want The Builder's arms, be it greed,
That I pursue. To see, create and destroy,
I have to take them from you, like a toy,
Swiped from a defenseless child. You'll live,
If I allow you to, that I can promise to give.

Only that.
Maybe his hat."

The horror seems to lose his joyous posture at the notion of losing his fine hat. You shiver from the cold, and the pain in what feels like a powerful infection in your chest.

"Then again, I suppose your life is meaningless,
So I might find a reason to kill you, but here I digress."

The horror cheers up. You being dead means he gets to keep his hat.

>>130681
Ask why it hurts so much, what is the matter?
Try to use the Destruction arm, your bonds you could shatter.

>>130681
That horror may be too attached to his hat,
but perhaps we can play that against the old prat.
Say something like, "But I wanted to try
to be like a gentleman before I die.
A hat and monocle really may be
the last things I wear. Please take pity on me."

See how the red creature then may react.
Perhaps its loyalty to him may be cracked.

>>130682
Also this, now, why didn't I consider,
if he wants the arms from you, that desperate critter,
why can't you use the arms on him yourself?
Channel your focus, put fear on the shelf.

Well it IS a rather fine hat...

But while we're on-topic,
While he's here, the dick;
Why did he kill your family?
Was that necessary, really?

And what's with those fellows of red?
What are they?
Are they people who're already dead?
Some grisly play?

In any case, spat at his hat.
That seems enough tit-for-tat.

"Slow down, good doctor, and hear me out a bit
You've waited this long, no need to make it quick.
Before you start, enlighten me,
who is this Builder that you speak?
Is he a man, or is she a woman?
Tell me good man, before you mess with my gubbins.

Also if you wouldn't mind,
this pain has me in quite a bind.
Might I ask for something sweet?
To ease this pain and make it meek?"

The eye of the builder... He and each of those red "horrors" have something wrong with their left eye. And of the shadowy figure that's been following her... all we can see is a redness from his left eye.

>>Not planning to rape you.

It's been several years since the incident you are thinking of.

You spent a while feeling miserable and living in the gutters of cities.

She had lied to you before, especially when it would hurt you, so you finally decided to investigate for yourself. You checked the hospitals.

It took some time, but being the possible father someone eventually told you that she had been in with due child twice. The first was put up for adoption.

So you scoured the Orphanages and adoption agencies. It took a couple years before you managed to find her.

You couldn't just go in and ruin her life, so you've just been keeping a protecting eye on her for months. Just watching your butterfly.

But now you have each other to take care of. You're working hard in a warehouse with a prosthetic arm.

There's a knock on the door.

After the knock on the door, it only takes a few seconds for it to open. Inside the door stands a tall furry touched with grey hair and an eye patch, and a little girl. I lower my cigarette slowly now that I have their attention.

"How can I help you?" The man asks me, no surprise to me, he's never seen me before in his life.

"Excuse me for bothering you, I am Kuiskata Tywyll, but you can call me Detective Tywyll. I'm here for a pending investigation, and since you two are involved with the case surrounding Doctor Sincere, I was hoping you could answer a few questions for me."
