That's how you want to play it? That nothing you've done to them really matters? to those two the most. Out of everyone who could have possibly been here with you, those two? it seems like a cruel fate.
[he's all glarey, but he also gets it. Seven months is a long time, and Fitz helped fill him in a bit...]
With that said... 7 months is a long time. i'm willing to believe things might have changed.
She held his hand and he wants it to happen again. To prove to her - he can do better.]
I'm not human anymore.
[He frowns] Pain changes people. It changed Fitz. I don't want to hurt him or Skye anymore Coulson. You can either accept that or leave it but if you want to leave it I want to ask if we can work together. Or at least pretend to be civil for their sake, and the sake of their friends. Fitz...
They've both been through enough here. Bad things have happened, things I wasn't able to save them from.
[He doesn't like it, but he has heard a bit about this place now, so he gets it, a bit more. Wont LIKE it, but he's a good man. He can manage this.]
Last thing i want to do is bring them more pain than they already have. I can tell it upset Fitz that i'm even here. Pretending to be civil should be easy enough. I've done it with you before, just recently.
["Then again you did turn on us and betrayed us yet again. I'm such a fool..." he thought to himself but didn't type it, just rubbing at his face and waiting for the reply. For Skye. For Fitz, if they were happy with Ward, he'd keep an eye on him but be civil. He was almost always civil...]
[After a moment there's a photograph attacked. ward's changes in size, his wings, his massive horns and black eyes, purple lips and spikes. Ward lets it hang.]
Not everyone is ...adapting to their changes well. Not Skye and Fitz but others. Now that you're here we need a plan of defense for the people at the house.
[Well, that's a bit freaky. Thanks for the heads up on appearance. He wont stare as much when he first sees you later...]
Give me a SitRep on what's going on. In your words, what's going on here? Ways to get out? locations? the locals? The house? Who all frequents it, so on.
There are two gods doing battle, apparently we're being enlisted as foot soldiers. Think HYDRA without any sort of ...benefit beyond the added bonuses in being a monster. There are people who have been studying the various types, isolating the various types of monsters that people become. A month in, the gods reach down and everyone...turns into a monster. Or starts to. It takes about three months to become a full fledged monster so to speak.
The locals haven't been taking too kindly to us. Rota - Rotans belonged to a different god. Their flesh drives people insane. Most monsters are cannibals by nature but there are alternatives to it, some monsters feed on energy or souls and others feed on flesh. Those who feed on flesh alternate between acceptance and trying to find alternatives. So far, there is no reversal from monster to human. I was looking.
Fitz is what's called a Kelpie from Scottish mythology. Skye is a Harpy. I'm a demon. We live in a house with Elle, she's a werebear, doctor chilton who's a nymph and her father....there are others.
It'd be easier if I could type this honestly on an official form.
[SitRep is just the easiest way to ask is all. But yeah, if he's going to pretend to be civil, might as well go back to what he knows.]
['Think HYDRA...' Well, you should feel right at home here, Ward]
Monsters and Magic. Exactly what SHIELD was suppose to help with. Where on Earth are we anyhow? Everything looks so... dated.
And I don't need an official report. I just need you to be honest with me and fill me in on what's going on. Thank you. Have there been any of the others here?
[mildly ignoring some of that food info for now, oh god]
Protecting the weird from the weirder. We don't have anything like that here, the entire place is outdated. Circa the 1920s. Place is called Ryslig.
[That shouldn't hurt as much as it does]
Just Fitz and Skye and me.
A monster kidnapped Fitz. He tried to do it to hurt me. He tortured Fitz and then killed him. Skye and I killed the monster in retaliation. Ever since then I try...not to truck with the monster side of things but it's hard. Being a monster comes with a new set of instincts.
Never heard of the place before. What's keeping any of us here? Stopping us from walking off and back to reality?
Good. [That means he has a minimum of three people he needs to try to get home. Because, you know, still hopeful of solving this puzzle.]
So I am guessing. It sounds like you're battling general mythology with all this. new instincts and mentality. There's got to be a way to reverse it though...
Maybe. [There was Raina... and she's a monster. Or was... that wasn't... fixable, was it. And then there is Skye and her Quaking thing. And.... right. Not even going to bring all that up.]
[Women and children first Coulson. He'll run if he has to.]
It usually hits when the fog rolls in. Monsters get worse. You'll...be able to observe it with Skye and I possibly. I was staying away when I found out you were here.
Didn't really fancy being shot even if it wouldn't kill me
