[quote=@ArkmageddonCat] ...sound-proofed room? Some asshole apparently didn't like hearing people play the instruments in the music room. And to the statement in your last comment, I didn't join this RP for giggles either. I joined for some awesome mecha action and deep, dramatic character relationships. The conflict between the two of them [i]was inevitable[/i], but I think it would've been better if placed after the time-skip-thing... In hindsight, and foresight, I don't think I would've minded the death so much in that case. At least then it would seem a little more spaced out from the other shit with the MIA player characters, and in theory should be more impacting to the other characters. Because to newer characters like Alyssa and Orion, and maybe even to everyone except Elora, Koehler's demise wouldn't be near as important as getting rid of Yeshua. And, ultimately, his punishment could've been death at that point. - Also, you did make me feel very ill, as I have somewhat of a phobia towards the mentally-challenged/ill/unhinged. I was practically burning up with a fever when I read the post, which I guess is pretty good writing to me...for my level of tolerance to the sort of thing. [/quote] I guess I did a good job then! (at making you feel ill . . . ) But this is just the end of the first (short) chapter, as the timeskip should prove. Yeshua's amazing lobotomy should herald amazing results, while Koehler's almost-dying should change him as a person! The next big hurdle for my character is going to be finding his identity; who he is, and why he's still alive. An existential problem all teenagers have to face.
