Tesability Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'd say poker face But if you really want to think of it the other way, Wilson has lost quite a bit of weight through the winter due to the lack of food, so maybe he's just light enough for him to lift Yeah, starvation does tend to cause the body to literally decay over time in an attempt to keep itself running, so that could indeed be the case.

TrebleStudios Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) This was a real struggle for me, so pardon for the mistakes"Charlie!" yowled Maxwell as he rushed into the biggest room. The area was dark and chilly. An uncomfortable silence reigned over the room. Before him sat the nightmarish throne that he was to be seated upon, and only rarely allowed to roam free from it. To his left was a comfortable looking living space that was completed with a stone fireplace and expensive looking furniture. Without much light, the rest of the biome was nearly impossible to see. "Charlie!""I'm coming!" a female voice bellowed back.Within a few moments, a shadowy female figure appeared from around a stone corner and approached her close friend. She examined he and his "cargo" for no more than a moment before turning away. "Nope," she bleated. "I won't do it."Maxwell followed briskly, the limp scientist bouncing in his arms. "Charlie, please. You've got to help me.""Why?" she retorted, turning sharply on her heel, causing her curled hair to whip around her. She picked up Wilson's pale hand and dropped it. "He's already dead."Maxwell froze. He hadn't even noticed he had gone limp. He turned his dark eyes to look at the gentleman in his arms whose face was still stricken with pain and discomfort. At that moment, all the concern and chaos that he hid so well flooded his face and voice. "Charlie!" he called again, his voice cracking to his displeasure. She turned to him and they stared at each other for moments in a tense silence before the shade turned her friend around and walked them briskly to the living area. "Fine," she tutted. "but They aren't going to like this..."They, Max thought as he lied Wilson's limp and cold body on the sofa. He had forgotten all about Them...

Tesability Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 It's possible to be limp, pale and cold as heck while still being alive, dear Charlie. (I've kind of been there, done that admittedly...I avoid the cold if I can absolutely can in RL for a reason.) Though hypothermia + starvation...that's a combo I've never been victim of. One or the other, but never both at once. I'm not sure an average human could survive in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A click sounded to the shade's left as Maxwell lit the logs within the stone fireplace with a snap of his fingers. After a few moments of examination, Charlie turned to her partner, who now sat composed and content in a high backed chair puffing a cigar as though not moments ago a man had just died in his arms. The shade shrugged. "Yup. He's gone."Maxwell narrowed his dark eyes." Surely there's something you can do about it." he growled, his patience clearly running dry."There is," she spat back with equal frostiness. "but if I were to do it, the both of us could be in a load of trouble."The puppet master spread his hands. "Do I look like I care?"Charlie stared at him before turning and walking briskly away to retrieve the item. As she left, Maxwell relaxed and puffed his cigar, not once taking his eyes of Wilson. Like a bird of prey, he eyed him, searching for any tiny movement. A twitch. A shallow breath. Anything. Footsteps were heard as Charlie reentered the room with the object in hand, and Maxwell's gaze moved not. He didn't even blink. Charlie gingerly placed the golden chain around the scientists neck and placed the red gem that was attached on his petrified chest. She stood back for a moment, and Maxwell thought he saw her hard eyes soften to look down at Wilson. They sat in silence as the fire cracked beside them and the red gem hummed as it pulsated.

Tesability Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ah, the Life-Giving Amulet. While in the game, they can be made by the player, I can easily see how 'They' wouldn't be too happy with either Charlie or Maxwell for creating one and putting it on the frozen soul.

Tesability Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) To answer your sister's question: It would have been one thing if Wilson, while still 'alive', had managed to somehow craft one of his own, but to be given one by one or both of Their puppets? The pair seem to risk getting into trouble by directly aiding the young man, instead of allowing him to pass on. After all, bending the rules is one thing, but breaking or changing them is another.I could, of course, be all sorts of dead wrong. It's hard to tell sometimes what the higher powers of any reality may think....now that I think about it, Maxwell's role seems to be more of a medium than a mere puppet, which makes me think that They are not as powerful as they'd like to be if they require a medium to do their work.

My sis and I both had the idea that Charlie's the most powerful of the evil behind the throne and in the shadows, and the rest of them, while still being powerful, usually have to mind Charlie. Now, if it were Max and Wilson alone, They probably would have killed them right then and there. But They will make sure that both of them (or all three of them) learn their lesson. They have no problem saying no to those who tell them to do other than what they plan to do..Also, because Charlie is really 'top dog' of this evil, she allows Maxwell to take charge, giving him equal authority and power to her. The two are also good friends, so there's nothing Charlie holds against him that would make her do otherwise. So really, Max is the king, Charlie is the queen, and They are part of a whole other game that doesn't play by the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
