"Gah-Ugh-ghathh!" Thunder yells as he gets probed. it feels strange, somehow. At first he recoils from the shadow, then remembered how it felt. Smooth and cool, but not overly so. It felt nice.

[guygombaa]

Shade just stand's there, panting & clutching his head.

The Probe finds an anomaly. An odd personality shift. Something that shouldn't be there. As any sane non-intelligent thing would do, it takes out the anomaly.

Thunder's eye's start to return to normal.

[Houndmaster]

Thunder gasped as the shadow left his body, a sharp intake of breath that hurt slightly.
"Shade… what… have… you… done?" He asked, still trembling slightly. He tried to stand up, but only managed to stagger a few feet before collapsing again, his eyes grey once more.
"What did the probe take out of me?"

[guygombaa]

"Some..... kind of....... Activated anomaly that....... messed with your mind......." Shade faints.

[Houndmaster]

“Shade? Shade? Sha-” Thunder murmurs before blacking out himself, lying limp on the ground.
((Also, I asked Kimi to come back over PM. Cross our fingers and hope?))

Shade gets up, darkness literally dripping off him. He drags Thunder back to the house.

[Houndmaster]

"-Ade?" Thunder asks as he wakes up, finishing his last word. Something inside of him was definitely gone, or missing. He stood up once he was in the house, and quickly went to setting priorities straight.
"Number 1: A new weapon. Shade, where's a baseball bat, preferably a Loisville slugger? And some bolts." Thunder asks, already starting to turn the house upside down in search of his items.

[guygombaa]

((Are you braindead or something? This is a display home. Nobody lives here. Bolts, you can probablly find. Baseball bat? Nope.))
Shade just falls onto the couch as the darkness sort of sheds off him. "Hit. By. Truck."

Shade just falls onto the couch as the darkness sort of sheds off him. "Hit. By. Truck."

((No, but my character has just had a once critical part of his personality ripped out with little to no warning. Just trying to think as my character would in that situation.))
Giving up the search momentarily, Thunder sits on the floor, opposite of Shade.
"Sorry 'bout that." He says instantly, and it seems to calm his nerves a bit. After a while he opens his mouth again.
"Listen, I don't feel safe here. In the city, that is. Or anywhere near a city, for that matter. To many people to dodge in a fight, too much collateral damage potential, too many hiding places for our enemy and not enough for us. There's this place that I read about in the Atlas at the School, a region really. It's referred to as the heartland. It's the kind of place we could fit right in with some minor adjustments. Just my two cents." Thunder says, looking out a window/opening with a look of paranoia.

[guygombaa]

((Why would they give you an Atlas? It's not an actual school, it's an evil science lab.))
"That's why we aren't staying long."

"That's why we aren't staying long."

(("Where are we getting the shipment from?"
"Atlanta."
"Where's that?" kind of scenario. Before Thunder started attacking them he was incredibly docile, and was allowed in the library. It's in my app.))
Thunder seems a bit taken aback by Shade's ready agreement.
"Seriously? That's... great. When do we leave?" asks, looking out the window once more.

[guygombaa]

((Library.............. they have a library? Sorry, I don't remember much from the Bio's XD ))

"Soon, but we aren't mobile quite yet."

[Houndmaster]

((Yep. In my bio. Can't remember what page. Late twenties, early thirties maybe?))
"Oh." he answered, staring at the floor. Then without warning, he punched himself with roughly the same amount of kinetic force as he hit Shade, just to try and inspire some empathy. First he scowled at the pain, wincing. Then, for no evident reason at all he starts laughing. Just cracking up. Then another thought, another series of thoughts, flew into his mind, and he was back in the village with her. Aria. He was being shot again, killing them again, breaking the man's leg again. For her. He was remembering so deeply and so painfully his body went into spasms and he curled up into the fetal position, his eye sockets tight against his knees. White light flashed behind his eyes like a flash bang, and left his ears ringing as his left forearm broke with a crack, such was the force he was pulling himself together. He barely felt the pain, for he was in another body, in another time, another place, when he was doomed to repeat his mistakes, his short comings. He cursed under his breath.
"When will it end?" he asked out loud, his left arm hanging loosely on the floor.
"When will it end?"

[guygombaa]

Shade just observes.

[Houndmaster]

Thunder slowly breaks out of his reverie, shaking his head.
"Sorry about that. Funny thing, regret and retrospect." he says, standing up. His stomach instantly growled with hunger.
"And we need food, medicine, water, clothing, supplies, stuff like that. Like, we need someone to go on a supply run. Like, I wanna go on a supply run with someone else to get that stuff. I really wanna break into a store right now." He said, following up as he noticed it was a display home, and therefore had no food in it.

(Are you guys going to come back to the house I'm in?)

[Houndmaster]

((We're in that house, I thought.))

[Houndmaster]

((As far as I know.))
