Zweiundzwanzig - Action/Phone

[Since his dismissal from the library, Wilhelm had thought he'd have enough time to start and truly gain more ground in discovering the secrets of the town. As it stood, however, what he had assumed would give him a head start in the race hadn't evolved past the slow walk he had apparently always been going. He almost wish he had a job back, in that it would at least give him something to do rather then apparently fruitlessly try and search for answers.

Especially when he felt he finally knew one of the answers, but that it was one he should've stumbled on a long time ago.

Regardless, with nothing to do he had grown bored, and decided that he would venture outside to see if he could find something to keep him interested. To survey the current domain he inhabited, as it were. After all, portions of his authority had been returned to him.]


Got two choices on how most of you can interact with Wilhelm today Mayfield

A. Hope you Like Telepathy

[Wilhelm can be found around several places in town today. In the park, at a restaurant or outside some of the business, or occasionally browsing through the library. Really, he just seems to be an unassuming gentleman going about his day.

But eventually, you'll hear a voice. And it doesn't seem to be a spoken one. Rather, it's like a feeling, something being broadcast within you.]


~Can you hear me?~

[Will you answer?]

B. Phone

After my months of imprisonment here along with you, I've come to a train of thought I'm sure that many of the rest of you have had as well. To me, while not the only answer it seems to be the most logical one for a variety of reasons I'll spare listing at the moment. But, what I have to say, I suppose, is a riddle of sorts. And I'd like to know your responses.

What would be your reaction if you were to find that the face you were born with was not solely your own?

C. Locked to Theta

[Hey Theta, guess who's heard you've been reset and is currently knocking on your door.]

[Ah ha! There you are! What is it with psychic German trolls?]

It was...Wilhelm, right? Yeah I think I remember talkin' to you. [When all his annoyance is said and done, he actually doesn't mind talking to you again.]

I dunno, it still feels like spiders crawling in my brain.

Correct.

[Wilhelm leans back a bit more into the bench, looking out across the street. There certainly isn't much to behold in this town, unfortunately.]

That has always struck me as odd. The path for communication in such a way is completely natural by design, but I suppose it feels wrong due to how few can access it.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-03-15 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
If you say so. I don't think it's very natural, but I guess that's just because I can't do it myself.

Mind if I join ya?

People have a tendency to marginalize what they view as natural and unnatural, yes.

Feel free to.

[Ken nods and plunks down next to Wilhelm.]

I guess so. Other then tryin' to make people jump out of their skin, what have you been up to? I haven't heard from you in a while.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to find much of worth, despite the fact I've primarily been investigating. And thinking, since I've had the chance.

[Despite maintaining his monotone, there is still hints of bitterness in his tone.]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this place sure doesn't like to give up its secrets, that's for damn sure. Its givin' everyone trouble so I wouldn't feel bad about not finding out much.

[identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Irrelevant. I should be able to find more then I have.

Don't say that, you sound like a robot. [He sticks out his tongue a bit at Wilhelm. Someone is just a tad irreverent.]

Everyone is trying their hardest and we're all just scraping the surface.

[identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[To be quite fair, robot wouldn't be insanely different from Wilhelm. He's just a different type of construct.]

True. But that doesn't excuse my own inability to scrape further.

You'll get there. Mayfield is a hard nut to crack, don't beat yourself up about it.

[identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not beating myself up about it.

[He's somewhere between utter amusement and indignation Ken. The mere idea that he should "beat himself up" over something...]

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Ken has that effect on people sometimes. He really means well but sometimes it just comes out wrong.]

You sure sound like it.

[identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Hah, alright, alright, if you say so mister. [He still thinks Wilhelm was doing that, but if the guy is going to deny it so much, ah well.]
