So what has Kyoko been up to...

[beryls_lackey]

*Kyoko is in a dark corner of the building. For the past few weeks, she has been hiding from every she knows, because of whats been happening to her.

*Ever since she was dominated by Revya to save Raspberyl, she has been thinking darker, and darker thoughts. She hasn't been thinking of the next blood donation, or how to make Raspberyl's next dress. Instead, she has been thinking how much blood a prinny holds, and was to make Raspberyl scream. She has been trying to hold back these thoughts, but theu have been getting stronger and stronger.

*She Also has been doing honor student activities. At first the were little, like not cleaning her room, or not brushing her teeth, but they have gotten much worse, tripping old demons, throwing prinnies, and vandalizing hallways. Kyoko know this is wrong, but something is making her do this, and deep down, she likes it.

*And now we find Kyoko, huddeled into a courner like Chrona useally does, covered in blood. She just killed someone for the first time since becomeing a delinquent. And the scary part is: she liked it....

 OOC: Damn, renaming and adding icon's screwed all these icons up... That sucks. They fit the mood so well too

*Kyoko sees Yukari. Before she can say something, she is overwhelmed by the urge to hurt her. Kyoko jumps at Yukari. Her eye's pleading to get away. Before she can get to her, she stops, and puts her hands on her head.

Bad thoughts go away, bad thoughts go away, BAD THOUGHTS GO AWAY!!

*She then slumps onto the ground, crying alittle.

I-I'm sorry!

... A vicious streak you didn't have before?

But you're talking about bad thoughts... Something possessing you, perhaps?

... No, your eyes aren't like that.

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

I feel like I'm being... corrupted. Like Something is changing my very soul... Ever since I was dominated by Revya to save My Lady, these thoughts and urges have been in my head... and they are getting hard to resist...

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

... Dominated?

How, precisely?

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

She said if I didn't swear to serve her, she would kill my lady. I did, and then I felt something connect me to her...

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

So some sort of enforced contract.

And with it being her, there's no small likelihood she did it solely for the sake of corrupting someone.

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

*Kyoko suddenly gets out a kunai and throws in to the head of a prinny walking by. Kyoko at first looks to have the face of complete joy, but then snaps out of it.

What am I becoming! My lady, forgive me....

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

Your behavior is becoming a reflection of hers. Not sure how, precisely, but it's pretty safe to say that you'd eventually become as evil as her.

There's got to be some way to eliminate that contract, but without knowing its origins, I can't really guess at what.

(OOC: Never mind that she could probably gap the contract out of existence, or tighten the boundary between normal and evil Kyoko to split the body or something...)

One possible temporary solution would simply be to deny yourself the ability to act in the most obvious evil fashions. Not sure how long that would help, though... For one, it depends on what Revya will do.

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

You mean I might turn into Revya? I am scared but... deep down, I am excited! Oh god!

I can't back out. if I do, she will kill My lady, and if that happens... I don't know what I would do...

(OOC: true, but for story reason, it has to be her love of Raspberyl that snaps her out of it in the end)

I'll try anything! Please tell me how!

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

... So if we can find a way to keep Revya from harming your lady...

As for that... Well, there's a few thousand ways. One easy one would be to, essentially, lock yourself in your room with basic supplies accounted for. Or just get so drunk that trying to do anything evil would fail... If you did that, the failures might anger you, building up an association between trying to do evil and a bad mood. Not sure how well it'd work, but...

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

I can't stop her, but maybe someone else can. You are strong right?

But... getting drunk is an honor....

*her face changes.

Drinking sounds fun. Then maybe we can go start a few bar fights....

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

Head-on, I'm not all that powerful. Good news is that facing me head-on would be nearly imposs-

*She pauses, seeing Kyoko's sudden mood change.*

... Yeah, never mind on that plan until I know your alcohol tolerance.

Hrm... Another alternative, if a very brutish one, would be to get in a fight you simply can't win, and make sure you come out of it as injured as possible. Same result as the drunkenness strategy.

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

A fight, sounds fun. Will there be lots of blood? I enjoy cutting people, and the sound of breaking bones makes me so-

*her eyes snap out of it.


Oh god, I can't believe I said those things. The scary thing is I truly felt happy about doing those things...

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

... I'm really starting to think temporary disability would be a good idea now.

I get the sense it's like two distinct personalities, right now... I can think of a few solutions for that, but I'm not so sure it's a smart idea to try them.

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

Disabling might be a good idea, but Revya has a power that lets her instantly heal any injuries of someone she has dominated...

Are you talking about... separating them? I don't want that side to be free of me. if she's inside me, I can still fight it somewhat...

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

Separating them is one possibility, yes.

Unfortunately, you've just exausted quite a pile of the most handy solutions I'd have.

Of course, you could always try love.

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

Love? The mythical, ultra delinquent emotion that we have been trying to find?

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

... Forgot the whole demonic culture thing for a minute.

Love's an emotion that can motivate like few others. That sense of devotion to another... I must admit, I'm not sure I've ever truly felt it. But perhaps you can recognize what it is.

Just... Be aware that it's deeper than a desire to go against a cultural grain. It's far more significant than any idea of honor or delinquency. And there's a chance it could end up making things worse, in a way...

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

I... I will try to keep love in my heart. Thank you Yukari... But I'm still scared...

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

All I can do, is wish you the best of luck, Kyoko. That Devourlord... Honestly, she seems a mismatch, when you compare to the kinds of evil that make the typical demon here.

And that's honestly rather scary.

[kyoko-needle.livejournal.com]

Thank you. You have been very kind Yukari. If I get better, I will help you in any way I can. Just name it!

[gapqueen.livejournal.com]

I promise nothing corrupting, if that time comes.

Right now, you've got some figuring out to do.

*And then a gap shows up, and Yukari drops out.*
