A different side of me

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[See that guy over there? He's usually seen up to some sort of mischief. Not leaning against the wall as if he's afraid he wouldn't be able to hold himself up on his own. He's out of breath, and clutching at his chest over his Heart as if he were in pain.

Those able to sense Darkness will be able to tell that something's seriously wrong with him. Usually you can barely sense his Darkness at all. Today it's practically off the charts. In fact, there are already thin wisps of Darkness starting to rise off of him.

But if you manage not to notice that, should you get closer you'll likely notice that his eyes have gone from their usual green to a bright gold.

Though, it might be a better idea not to get too close...]

[ooc: A rare moment where he's losing control of his Darkness. Careful, this isn't the same as a normal Darkness problem. He is far more than grumpy right now. Friends and family he grew up with will probably recognize this though. It's not the first time this has happened.]

Comments

I think they sorta met during the food fight didn't they?

[Desi was on her way to her usual room for some martial arts training but. Pinged by someone in trouble.]

Do you want some help?

Possibly. XD But he'll be acting like a totally different person this time

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Glares at her from the corner of his eye.]

Did I ask you for any help?

All right

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[Oh here we go.]

No but I thought asking if you did was the right thing to do.

[Folds her arms, considering going to go find your dad since she knows him and all.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Well maybe you should stop sticking your nose into other people's business!

[...Eyes her arms and smirks.]

Or haven't all your previous beatings taught you a lesson yet?

[That would be a good idea. Though if she is going to go find him she'd better go quick before Achilies gets violent.]

I need angry icons for her >_>

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[Oh now you went and pissed her off.]

Well excuse me for caring about people!

[She takes a deep breath to calm herself as she starts backing away. Yeah definitely going to find your dad.]

XD I'm still working on this guy's icons right now

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Back away fast. He's not to be trusted when he's like this.]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[As soon as she hits the corner of the walkway she's off.]

ZACK!

[finallya-hero.livejournal.com]

[Shouldn't take too long to find him! He's usually out and about patrolling anyway.]

Desiree? What's wrong?

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[She's grabbing you by the arm now and pretty much dragging you back to where Achilies was.]

I...I think his Darkness went crazy somehow and...

[finallya-hero.livejournal.com]

[She'd barely finished her sentence before Zack started running.]

Where is he?!

[He looks kinda panicked huh?]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[She follows him down to the corner she came around then points.]

That way!

[finallya-hero.livejournal.com]

[Speeds up and disappears around the corner. She can probably hear the sounds of fighting as she runs.]

[valgusti.livejournal.com]

[Desi skids to a stop and peeks around the corner.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[..... oh shit.

Austin is just standing a couple yards away, watching and waiting to see if this is going to turn into what has happened before.]

... Achilies?

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Turns his head just enough to watch you from the corner of his eye.]

What?

[Doesn't sound too friendly does he?]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

[Nope. But he's still hazarding a step closer.]

... are you alright?

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[Glares and turns to face him.]

What's it to you?

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

You're my friend and I'm worried about you, that's what.

[The gold eyes definitely alarm him, so he isn't coming any closer.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should mind your own business..

[The Darkness coming off him is thicker now.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

I've never been very good at that.

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's about time you learnt.

[Staff get. The Darkness is going to cloak that too.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Achilies... what are you doing? I don't want to fight you.

[His hands slowly ignite flames, small wisps streaming up his arms.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[He's past the point where he can be reasoned with. Sorry buddy.]

And why not? You scared?

[Slips into his fighting stance.]

[juniorfryer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't want to hurt you.

[Austin just stands his ground. He'll be playing defense, so no need for battle stances.]

[not-ahero.livejournal.com]

[He's just going to laugh at that. And not his usual laugh either. This is a cruel one.]

Go ahead and try.

[And by the way, he doesn't care much for fighting fair when he's like this. You know that attack Zack first uses when he's Darknessed? Using that now. Hope you're ready for the sudden teleporting/Darknessed Staff hits.]
