Alysha shrugs to Torment. She looks kind of worried.
She turns back to Jack. Jack, calm down. Nobody followed us. Please, just calm down a moment. I'm Alysha. We were dating.

Inside Below - FM
Alysha shrugs to Torment. She looks kind of worried.
She turns back to Jack. Jack, calm down. Nobody followed us. Please, just calm down a moment. I'm Alysha. We were dating.
[Inside Below - FM]
"No, no-one followed us. Why would they have?"
Underside FM
He calms down a bit but still seems rather worried.
I guess I'm safe...
It almost sounds like a question.
Well I guess they wouldn't follow either of you... No need to.
Speaking cryptically the language of madmen.
Inside Below - FM
Alysha nods. You're safe Jack. She'll smile, and go to pull him into a hug.
Inside Below FM
He gladly accepts the hug.
I sure hope so...
He's been through some trauma that's for sure.
((I'm going to go make some dinner, I'll be back in like 30 mins or so, Jack will just follow the group in the meantime.))
[Inside Below - FM]
Torment nods, then goes over to cast some sort of spell on Fear, who still looks worriesomely weak and cold, though the Keyblade has helped considerably.
Inside Below - FM
Alysha stays by Jack, and looks to Torment. Is she okay?
[Inside Below - FM]
"She'll be alright. It's not the first time she's kissed a Velvet, or the worst she's been from it."
Inside Below - FM
Well, okay then.
Um, I know we came here because you guys were looking for something, but, um, could I ask a favor? Could we find some kind of in or something nearby? I think Jack might need to lie down and rest for a while.
[Inside Below - FM]
"Of course. I think Fear would probably appreciate that too."
Inside Below - FM
Alysha nods. Okay then. If you'd lead the way, please.
And thanks.
She'll guide Jack to wherever the tieflings lead.
[Inside Below - FM -> Inside Below - VC]
They lead them both back to the Velvet's Cavern, which is quite close to the curent site of the Floating Market, and has plenty of beds.
Inside Below - VC
Once at an available bed, Alysha will try to get Jack to at least take a seat on a bed.
I knew Jack before I became a vampire. He stuck with me through that. Then he kinda disappeared for a while. I think it was that deadtime ooze stuff.
[Inside Below - VC]
Nadia waves at them, and goes over to Fear with the bottle from earlier..
"Well, it's good that he's back, then... But if he's as paranoid as he sounded, I doubt it was deadtime."
Inside Below - VC
Alysha scratches the back of her head. Well...I know there was something in his past that he was afraid of. He didn't like to talk about it. Maybe it has something to do with that.
UNderside FM-VC
He sits down shivering a bit... It is quite cold down here after all.
I can't believe it...
Am I safe finally...?
He mutters to himself.
[Inside Below - VC]
Fear opens the bottle, and stars breathing in the contents, quickly starting to look much better.
"Probably. And yes, you're safe."
Inside Below - VC
Jack...do you remember what happened at all?
Underside FM-VC
He shudders.
All too well...
Those men...
The ones who destroyed my home...
They found me.
Apparently they wanted more then to just kill me.
They wanted to know more about... What I am... This thing I inherited from my father. I told them all I knew about it, but that wasn't enough.
So they tested it... They tested the limits of my ability what it took to activate the dormant power inside, tried to unlock it's secrets and use the gene that contains the power....
It was horrifying for almost an entire year they toyed with me... But one day I awoke in my pen to find everyone gone, no guards no power the place the kept me in was just dead.
I then found myself here in these caves, I've been wandering for weeks surviving off of rations I pillaged from the facility. Any creatures I encountered usually brought be close enough to death for my abilities to activate so I was able to get away, but it's kept me in a perpetual state of being far too close to death than any man should for so long.
I can barely remember anything else... It's all just too horrible...
I just can't...
He shakes his head.
Inside Below - VC
Alysha is silent for a moment, her face showing a mixture of shock and horror.
Jack...I'm so sorry...I'm sorry! She starts sobbing and pulls him tightly into a hug.
Undersiiiide-FM-VC
He holds her tight.
But I'm away from that nightmare now... I should be anyway...
He still seems worried.
[Inside Below - Velvet's Cavern]
The Tieflings are listening quietly, sitting on around Fear, who looks much better, on the other bed.
Inside Below - VC
Alysha will just keep sobbing for a while, her head on Jack's shoulder.
I should've...I should've went looking for you...as soon as you were gone...I should've...but I didn't...It's my fault...my fault...
Underside FM VC
He shakes his head.
No no, there's no way you could've known where I was...
Please stop... You couldn't of known.
He clutches her tighter yet.
Inside Below - VC
Alysha nods a little bit, but doesn't remove her head. Or stop sobbing.
Underside FM VC
As much as I hope... I know they're still out there.
I knew I was being observed in those caverns, they never attacked me but I knew they were there...
I'm sorry I'm probably endangering you all.
He sobs a bit.
Inside Below - VC
Alysha really doesn't think anybody's watching him now, but she wouldn't dream of saying that.
Jack...don't worry...we'll be fine...you'll see. She looks up and gives him a teary smile.
Underside FM VC
We'll see.
He cracks a smile.
I can't frown at that face.
D'AW.
Inside Below - VC
Alysha gives a short laugh.
Then she goes to give Jack a quick kiss.
[Inside Below - VC]
((I feel I should point out that they're not in normal Underside at this point, nor are they still at the Floating Market.))
The Tieflings start moving over to the other side of the cavern, as does Nadia, leaving the pair alone, unless they're stopped..
