Carolyn watched Dark leave and then turned her attention back towards Cancer, the hostility resuming as if it had never been interrupted.

"You saw someone about to get murdered, and the only thing you could think of doing was encouraging him, as a joke? I'm supposed to believe that you thought joking around then was a good idea? Are you really that fucking shallow?" she demanded furiously, unable to comprehend Cancer's insanity.

Before she could scold him further, a familiar voice heralded the arrival of Jade.

"I'm not in the mood for your inane questions right now." she said scathingly to the newcomer.

"I'll do it." he said gruffly, pretending as if he hadn't seen the subtle flickers of revulsion flit across Mei's face at the sight of his charred visage.

It would take a while before his face was able to return to normal and it would require an intense amount of white magic to reverse the damage. He felt a twinge of frustration towards Dark but realised that he was just as much at fault. Concentrating the vestiges of power remaining within him, Kyo summoned a white aura around his face that clung to him like a brilliant, iridescent mask, intangible to touch but powerful enough to provide a much-needed sense of numbness.

Carolyn opened her mouth to retort with the classic acidity that was so characteristic of her, but once she heard Dark's admission of almost killing Kyo, she was lost for words.
"What?" she said in a hollow voice. "You almost killed him?"

She understood what Dark was attempting to insinuate, but he was sorely mistaken. Carolyn felt no special affinity towards Kyo but Dark's observation about her being unable to break through the dome was alarming. She had genuinely felt as if she didn't possess the power needed to force her way through it. Was it possible that she had held back?

And what of this new development? Dark's blase attitude towards almost taking his best friend's life was something to be concerned about. She, of course, was not going to visit Kyo in the hospital. She had purposely avoided him since the events of that night and she had no desire to alter that unbroken streak.

"Looks like being Balthazar's pets didn't work out so well for you two." she remarked snidely.

Kyo groaned in defeat and closed his eyes, capitulating to the bandage change. There was no way he was getting out of this and, after all, Mei did have a point. Besides the fact that the other students would find the sight of a shuffling, mummified corpse terrifying, he wasn't sure he had enough energy to even leave the hospital wing.

Well that would also be true.

Kyo awoke with a start and sat bolt upright, gasping for air as he looked around nervously. To his horror and cringe-inducing embarrassment, he found his gaze meeting a fellow student's; pale, pretty and looking thoroughly unimpressed.

"Jesus." he said finally, punctuating the long and awkward silence. "Sorry about that."

He laid back down, his head landing on the fluffy pillow with a soft flump. Visiting a hospital was an egregious way to spend the evening, but being a patient within that very hospital was ineffable.

As he stared at the brilliantly white ceiling, he could not help but reflect on the very few times he had been here. The horrific injuries that Dark had inflicted upon him far outstripped the severity of his previous visits, but this one came with a new element: Mei. He found that he was much more comfortable being treated by the head nurse than an attractive female who looked to be the same age as he was. Silently cursing himself for being so concerned with matters that should have seemed trivial, Kyo glanced over at Mei who was still engaged with the task of finding gauze.

"No. No way. I am not having my bandages changed by her." he thought to himself firmly, sitting back up and swinging his legs around the hospital bed.

"Well, uh, thanks for waking me up... guess I'll be off now..." he said feebly, getting up to his feet. The pressure was almost enough to make him collapse but, fortunately, he was able to grab the bedside desk and steady himself.

It was mortifying enough to be entrapped in the hospital with Mei as the only other company, but what made his skin crawl even more was the defeatism he had displayed in his battle with Dark. He had almost willingly resigned himself to ablution by fire as punishment for what he had done.

Carolyn reluictantly let go of Cancer and turned around to face Dark instead. What was this, a witness convention?

"I don't have to answer to you!" she shot at him sullenly.

Was Jacob in the hospital wing because he knows Kyo's the murderer, or was it the mother of all coincidences? Anyway, Multi Media Man, Scenario 14 is supposed to be just Mei and Kyo (and we should have made that clear in the Scenario title, that's... Hanet's bad, all Hanet's fault) so for now we're just gonna ignore that post.

On the other hand, Scenario 13 has a few of the characters who witnessed the murder so it'd make a lot more sense for Jacob to be in there. Since badend and D.Disciple post fairly fast, you'll need to be quick!

The abrupt departure from her reverie was caused upon the sight of that stupid, meretricious helmet that she detested so much. Although she had previously considered Cancer a mild oddity, she now recognised him for the destructive and psychopathic cretin that he truly was. Ripping herself off the wall, she grabbed Cancer by the throat and shoved him hard into the wall, her own terrifyingly furious expression reflected back at her.

"You fucking psycho!" she growled at him, her forearm digging into his neck. "You sick, son of a bitch, you motherfucker!"

Carolyn was very fortunate that most of the student populace was having breakfast in the assembly hall and would not be out wandering the hallway outside but, at this point, she didn't care.

"You goaded him into doing it!" she snarled. "Out of all the things you could have done, you fucking encouraged him! I should rip your heart right out of your fucking chest you useless piece of shit!"

Carolyn ground her teeth together, wishing she could smash open Cancer's helmet to get a good look at the man underneath. Stringing together obscenities could only assuage her fury for so long.

Scenario #13

Unable to find even a fleeting modicum of peace since Kyo's return to the Academy, Carolyn nervously paced up and down the hallway outside the Black Mage Guild's assembly hall where breakfast was taking place, the completion of her duties meaning that the only task on hand was to wander aimlessly and cogitate on the terrible decision she was making or would make.

They had all heard the man, loud and clear. As brutal as the murder had been, there would be many (including the vindictive side of Carolyn) who would find joy in the dispatching of an anti-wanderer murderer, child-killer and rapist. On the other hand, Kyo had committed one of the same acts that the victim had been condemned for. Even more saliently, the taking of another's life suggested that Kyo was not mentally stable. What if he lost his way again? Would he end up hurting someone inside the Academy?Would that blood be on her hands?

Carolyn stopped and leaned against the cold, marble wall. The chills that shot up her spine did not stem from the temperature of the wall, unfortunately, but from another maddening question. What if he didn't hurt anybody? Reporting the severity of his crime would surely lead to him being imprisoned and the already fragile reputation of the Academy would be tarnished. And what if Alvarez deemed the timing of her admission as unacceptable? Would she lose her prefect badge or, even worse, be expelled from the Academy?

All of these questions swirled through her mind like a destructive torrent of misery, vaporising any shred of optimism. Carolyn was in a dire situation and, for the first time in her life, she had absolutely no idea what to do.

It's actually not a rule. If you like recapping other people's posts and you can still post at a decent pace then go ahead. The reason it was discussed in a negative manner is because it had a stultifying effect; the recapped posts were taking such a long time to type up that the RP was moving at a lethargic pace. With multiple roleplayers in a scenario, a slow poster will inhibit everyone else involved from being able to carry the plot forward.
