HALO CXXIV: What Insanity?

[Beans]

When the blood test is done, the results shall be positive. Do the results come up immediately?

[McBish]

It takes a few minutes but it is fairly quick. Looks like you are indeed pregnant.

[Beans]

Pesty's eyes widen. The neon blue rings separating the blackness of her pupils from the blackness of the rest of her eyes... the rings dim.
And then snap back to brightness as she leaps up to hug Angie in a heady rush of excitement.
I'M GONNA BE A MOMMY!

[McBish]

Angie hugs her back smiling a bit. Yes you are going to be. Congratulations. She says this time with more confidence.

[DoomITP]

Grant undeadtimes next to Pesty I guess.

[Beans]

She giggles in glee and sees Grant.
GRANT I'M PREGNANT IS THIS AWESOME OR WHAT?!

[DoomITP]

GREAT!!

He says smiling, the first smile for real in a long time.

[McBish]

Angie looks over at Grant and quietly steps aside. She doesn't have a whole lot to say to Grant right now.

[Beans]

She leaps up to huggle Grant, then has a thought.
Grant... could you please apologize to Angie for what you said earlier?
It'd help us all a lot.

[DoomITP]

When he turns to face Angie, his eyes on a scale of one to ten on the freaky scale are twelves.

...I...I'm sorry... I'm... Not sure what... Came over... Me...

It sounds like he has to work REALLY hard to get the words to come out, like whoever is messing with his brain is doing a good job.

[McBish]

Grant I think you should try and take it easy for now. Don't worry about it. She says quietly.

[Beans]

Pesty looks concerned.
Grant?
You're not okay, are you...
She pales.

[Gimliggamer]

Sonder finishes reading and shelves the book. Then he sits down in the chair again, pulls out a small leatherbound book and begins writing.

[DoomITP]

I...Am...Fine...

He says.

[Beans]

No. I can tell you aren't, Grant.
... Is it Zero?
Is he hurting you like this?
I'll kill him.

[DoomITP]

There... is not anything wrong...

His voice sounds like Zero for a second.

[Beans]

Pesty reaches up to grab Grant's face.
She pulls it to her own.
Get out of my husband, Zero.
He is mine.
There was never a day in Creation when any part of him was not mine. Ah, yes. The Wrong Voice again.

[DoomITP]

I don't want to. Pesty...What is wrong?

[Beans]

ZERO IS WRONG.
Grant, let me into your mind. Let me rip him out and show him what happens when you screw with my husband's mind.

[DoomITP]

Pesty can get into his mind.

[Beans]

In she goes!

[DoomITP]

He has a mind that is shattered like glass with Zero standing in the middle of it. All that the Grant in his mind is focusing on is keeping Zero away from the door that says Pesty on it.

[Beans]

And Zero will see that Pesty is... very, very, powerful.
And very, very wrong in a subtle way.
O hai.
I'm going to tear your skull open.

[DoomITP]

Zero just smiles and then shoots lightning at Pesty.

[Beans]

Her chest is horribly burnt.
Right?
Well, it was... wasn't it?
... Wasn't it?!

She just walks forward.

[DoomITP]

Zero blasts a hole in the door that says Pesty.

Now, I'm gonna make him hate you too!

[Viera Champion]

Alhana is looking for Lee.

[Beans]

Uh-oh.
Pesty is now in front of him.
And behind him.
And all around him.
HOW WILL YOU, WHEN YOUR MIND IS CRUSHED LIKE GLASS?
And the Wrongness of Pesty... is multiplied a trillionfold. Seriously.
Zero should be at least a bit unnerved about this.

Yes, Pesty is more than just a chaosborn lolcatgirl now...

[Gimliggamer]

*notes thread title*

Sonder finishes writing in the book and goes back to browsing the shelves.

[DoomITP]

Alhana can find Lee in their room reading.


Zero will try to run past Pesty and shoot at the end of the Pesty hallway.
