    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Andre's eyes widened. "Y-youre --" He cleared his throat. "I see. I've heard about you. Had an audience with your mother some time back, though I don't believe I said much."

    Actually... yeah. Asking Ben what he should do with himself seemed like the moral thing to do. He was the one he had hurt most on Forlas. Andre almost lost his footing, but managed to stabilize himself. He smiled awkwardly. "Yes, a guide would be appreciated. I'm no good at finding my way." He...

    Andre froze, his pulse accelerating. Had what he feared would happen just happened? Had this stranger decided his crimes were too severe for him to keep living a minute longer, and only now revealed it? He didn't want to die, though, for two reasons - he hadn't fulfilled his mission yet and...

    Andre sighed. "Is there? Because I'm no fighter, and I can't trust myself to do any speaking when I know now that I'm... some kind of psychopath. What if I lapse again? At a critical moment?" He shook his head. "It's better to just remove myself from the equation."

    "I'm gonna let everyone know what I've done," Andre said. "What I am. And I'm going to tell Ben I'm sorry, not that it'll help him much. After that..." He shrugged. "Come back here, I don't know."

    "I was talking to... another Wayfarer, Laura. I wanted to try and convince her to convince Ben - another Wayfarer, a newly arrived one - that I hadn't killed his trainer like he thought I had. I had, of course. He was... not a good person. In my eyes, at least." Everyone should have seen him...

    "Well..." Well, did he regret what he'd done? He still didn't feel bad for the people whose lives he'd taken. He couldn't muster up any pity for abusers. But all the other people he'd affected... Before, he'd always considered their emotional pain collateral damage. Or really more accurately...

    "Well... yeah. I killed some folks." He cleared his throat. He couldnt give his spiel of 'they deserved it' anymore. How would he explain it now? "I thought it was the right thing to do at the time," he said. "I thought I was... just. But now I think I was just sick in the head." Still am. I...

    Andre took a moment to think. If he was going to 'make things right', it'd surely be best if he was simply honest from now on. But were he to tell the horrid truth, this stranger might take it upon herself to enforce some vigilante justice of her own. And while Andre couldn't fault her for...

    A luxray arrived. Hopefully helpful. Not that I deserve -- no, that kind of thinking was pointless. "Uh..." Andre began. "Both." He sighed. "I had kind of a freakout and wanted to get away from town. Maybe never come back. But I wanna go back now. I have to make things right." Or just see if I...

    Hunger came first. Then thirst. Then fatigue. Then, with the setting of the sun, the chill. As each arrived and strengthened its hold, pitiful thoughts bubbled up in Andre's mind. This is stupid, he thought. This is an overreaction. I don't need to die. Not slowly nor quickly, not that the...

    Threadmarks: Ch09 - Exile (Andre)

    Once Andre had begun to run, he kept going until he'd made it well out of town. Lungs stinging and the ever-growing cold of Shadows under his skin, he finally stopped to catch his breath. He knew he couldn't bear to be near anyone right now. Not when he knew now what he was. What he had been...

    A 'shadow' pokémon? That sounded like something out of a fantasy book or a video game. But so did the mystery dungeons that were apparently commonplace. He had to keep an open mind. Just like what Ridley and him had talked about before... Ridley. Hm. Andre could hear the conversation happening...

    Emerging through the terror like a bubble through water was one stray thought. Maybe I deserve this. Dig. It's another attack. Get up and run before the ground bursts open beneath you. With a heavy grunt, Andre tried getting up. His leg screamed pain, and he couldn't put any weight on it...

    Oh Gods. Oh Gods, oh Gods, oh Gods, it was after him. His fucking fault for running and tripping what must have been some predatory instinct to go after fleeing prey. Andre tried running faster, but he was already running as fast as he could. The limits of his body infuriated him. Stars fizzled...

    The wagon exploded. It basically exploded, showering Andre with heat and splinters and singeing his fur. Hot, too hot! He leapt back and found momentary respite, but the patches of grass on fire around the wagon didn't spell anything good. And the meowth -- he'd seen the flames get her. And now...

    They'd been attacked. Andre couldn't see by whom with everyone else in the way, but the way they reacted did not spell anything good. The others wanted to flee, acting like they had no chance of winning this fight, and they were probably right. Not to mention the assailant had set the wagon on...

    Andre raised a brow. "Are you sure you can do it with paws?" They had their short-range telekinesis, but if Andre had trouble with dexterity, surely the others must have had it, too. Or maybe he was just very unlucky...

    Andre's heart drummed like a pikipek. Well, here he was. This was the result of a restless night spent arguing with himself whether this was his duty or not. And every time common sense tried to tell him he was better off staying out of it for now, that guilting voice described to him all sorts...
