Zweiundzwanzig - Action/Phone

[ubermensching]

[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.]

I see.

And do you enjoy what you do, or do you do it only because of necessity?

"When dealing with the warp? No. There is no glory in that. Only the loss, and sorrow at humanity's diminishing."

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

[Wilhelm motions with his sandwich a bit.]

And to see that degradation is always the greatest sorrow of mans guardians.

[And he'll take a neat bite of his sandwich before putting it back down.]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"There is truth in what you say. We have lost so much...."

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

Occasionally, loss is necessary though, is it not? And even then, loss can be regained, and re-compensated.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"You can never replace the people that have been lost.
And while loss can be necessary... there is no way to salvage what happened before I came here."

[he shakes his head.]

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

No. You cannot.

But there is no such thing as a situation that cannot be overcome.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"I know this. I am Astartes. As long as I draw breath, I am victorious."

[he nods.]

"For the moment, though, the situation that must be overcome is this place. I assume you are familiar with the town to some degree?"

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

I am. I don't know if I can grant you much beyond what you may already know, but I can try and clarify something, if you have anything to ask.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"Ah, I had not thought to do so, actually, I was more asking about the extent of your knowledge. I take it you have been here some time then?"

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

I have been, for about nine months, at present.

Unfortunately, the extent of my knowledge isn't far greater the anyone elses' or what you've probably gathered up to this point. I could more easily expand or clarify if you tell me what you knew besides the basic such as the town warping in on itself, ect cetera.

If you're wondering if I might know something such as why we are here in Mayfield, that I cannot answer.

"The Hazmats. What do you know of them?"

[Space Marine through and through, Garviel concentrates on the obvious enemies.]

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

They appear to be some form of automaton. They appear at first as simple Hazmat suits, though there doesn't appear to be anyone inside them. When first released they're fairly slow, but they become quicker as time goes on. They can be hurt through being shot or cut, but doing so also causes poisonous gas to leak from them. I would assume they could be blown up as well, though I haven't seen it attempted.

Combat wise, they appear to be fairly strong and wield axes and, on occasion, flame throwers. They don't appear to really respond to any kind of communication, and eventually they'll become entirely hostile and simply attack on sight.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

"A worthy challenge for Astartes, I think."

[he considers this.]

[repeatsalvation.livejournal.com]

You should take care if you intend to challenge them. They're far fiercer then one would initially believe.
