[TRUTH ROOM] and I wanna hear what you have to say about me

[justhalnow.livejournal.com]

[The Oldacon's found a room where one of the kitchens used to be. It's not remarkable in any way other than it's irritating non-kitchenness. There are some comfy chairs, a nice plush carpet, some reddish mood lighting-

-and a door that won't open again.]

Oh, you... come on. [He fights with the door momentarily, getting nowhere at break-neck speeds. He sighs and moves to sit in a chair, looking somberly around. He has no idea what the room wants, but it's not letting him go just yet.]


((OOC: This is a room that forces people to say truths they normally wouldn't divulge. You can only get out after saying one of these truths aloud for someone else to hear. The effects could last for as long or as short a time as you wish. Feel free to either bother Hal or just wander in alone or wotever.))

...What?

[He stands there and just kind of stares, mind processing that what he just said has to be true.]

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

No, I mean--I've been in love with you for months.

[He freezes as his mouth moves, unhinged from his brain.]

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

Why...? What about your...

[He doesn't know what to think. This one had been tormenting him for so long that he didn't think he felt like that.]

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

I'm in love with him too! Part of the reason why I fell for him was because of you. But he isn't you, just like how I'm not your Pain, and love isn't a zero sum game anyway! It's not like I'm going to run out!

[why won't his lips stop moving]

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

I do not share your feeling.

[He shakes his head slowly, face reddening in embarrassment. He wishes he wasn't hearing this... it's going to make it more difficult to hate him.]

You should not like me.

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

I know. I know. I can't just turn it off like a switch. Especially after what I did to you... But I love you anyway. You're the reason I haven't killed anyone for almost five months.

[why is he telling Alek this]

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

...I am sorry.

[Sorry that he has to feel that way and he can't give him anything in return. He doesn't fully understand why this is a problem what with his double around, but it's clearly been bothering him for awhile.]

Please, keep up not kill persons.

Mother will be upset when she comes back and finds out.

[He wrings his hands.]

I don't want to kill you again. I don't want you to get hurt.

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

I do not like hear that... she scare me almost as much as Fury.

[He rubs the back of his head.]

Then do not. I do not see why you would need kill me.

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

I don't think I would either. But if a war starts again, we'll probably end up on different sides. I wouldn't kill you--probably take you as a POW and lock you in my room until it ended. I'm getting restless. I think something is going to start again, but I don't know who'll start it.

[hall-patrol.livejournal.com]

If war start and we are on different side, I would not be so ready for let you do this. I cannot let your unit do bad thing.

[Especially considering his situation with Fear and how Natalia feels. If he let them wreck more havoc... he just can't.]

[bringsuffering.livejournal.com]

We have nothing planned for the future. For now, I'm going to focus on raising my daughter.

[He's not sure how he'd feel about a war starting. On one hand, chaos was his goal in life...on the other hand, it would put Vespa in danger, and he might lose both of his Aleks.]

I know you can't. You're part of the forces of good and all.
