Third Game

[break_the_nine]

[Its been a while after the Training Exercise gone wrong. Leos somehow managed to get out of the battle with the Jenice he used more or less unscathed. On the other hand, mentally he was even more worse off than before. Seeing Seta get torn apart and devoured by the BETA like that was not good for his sanity, already precarious as it was. Her inhuman ability to come back from that 'death' didn't really help much at all.]

...

[Currently he was in the mess hall, just stirring the contents of his bowl. He was at the odd paradox of being hungry yet being unable to eat. Then he looked at his meal, his mind drifting off and growing unfocused. The person doling out the meals was going to regret giving Leos a bowl of Spaghetti-Os because they were pressed for time and couldn't be bothered to give him something that wouldn't cause his mind to snap because from Leos' perspective the dull orange colored sauce slowly shifted into the hue of freshly spilled blood and the pasta turned into a multitude of eyes that suddenly had mouths form below them and rush forward to try tear his face off-]



AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

[-which led to him literally slapping the bowl away and possibly burning himself in the process before he scrambled off to a small, enclosed spot to force himself into/under and just curl up tightly.]

[Leos looks tremendously uncomfortable about this.]

I... I saw...

[There was a slight hiccup before the words started spilling out. The moment his Jenice followed after Seta how he saw her get torn clean in half by one of those red monsters - blood and organs splattering to the ground only to be savaged further by the smaller BETA. Blood everywhere, the beasts snarling and chewing and splattering on themselves what used to be a person.]

[And then the eyes. The pool of blood, the flowing black that used to be the body just being a home to a multitude of the inhuman gaze and how it just swept up and ate the BETA like they were nothing. Both of these things seemed to scare Leos greatly to the point he looked like he was about to burst into another panic attack as he started babbling near the end and was about to go into hysterics.]

[Ken does the only thing he can think of, and pulls Leos into a gentle hug, patting his head.]

Listen... its okay. She's alive, and you're alive.

[break_the_nine]

B..But its not okay! What if we have to fight them again? What if we have to fight them in a city?

[Leos sounded especially frightened at the latter part Ken, so much that he was clinging to you tighter than a bear trap.]

P.. people shouldn't die like that! Its not right! Its not!

[tiger_ken]

Its okay now. And if they do spawn in the city... then we'll stop them. That's why we're here, isn't it? To take the weight of the world so that others don't have to.
