[It wasn't a surprise, per se, that the milk was bad news, but after seeing Mao's bizarre delusion on Tuesday as well as getting gunned down by a hallucinating Yuna later that day, as well as the calls going out about it, it was clear the milk had some pretty horrific side effects. And, having been made the father of the household, this meant that it was Wilhelm's duty to protect those under his roof from said effects.

And that's precisely what he meant to do.

For the following three days of the event, although not on the last day, Wilhelm will be getting up early enough to try and intercept anyone else from getting the milk and drinking it himself. The results, and interactions with him, are as follows.]


August 18th
[Hey, what's up family. You might notice that the kitchen and restroom cabinets are kind of being quietly gone through by dad. Who is shivering from pain while he tries to keep his body under control. He knows finding something to actually get ride of the effects of the poison inside his body is unlikely, but it would be nice if he could at least find some goddamn painkillers.

Eventually, too weak to move much more, he'll be collapsing on the couch in the front room, blankly staring in front of him. Conscious, and alive, but just barely.]


August 19th
[After his lovely death the day before, today's milk isn't so bad. Comparitively at least. Hey housemates, feel free to notice that dad is going through everything in the house meticulously, rearranging it to his own preference.

And when I say he's going through everything? I mean everything. This includes going into everyone else's rooms and rearranging what's there according to his own system.

After he finishes that, or gets as close as he can to it, he'll be heading to the phone.]

For as wonderful as mankind is, as talented and powerful as you are? There are times when you sicken me.

Your race has one of the greatest gifts of all: the potential for personal growth. To become more then a sum of your parts. This is a gift few things possess; most must stay as they are, and have always been? But you? All things you might want could eventually be within your reach because of this potential.

And yet, so few of you actually move towards it, grasp it, make it yours. You're far happier with simply allowing others of your race, a select few, do the movement for you and reaping those benefits, when every man could in the end make a difference if they but tried.

It's quite frustrating to watch.

August 20th
[Well, after his daily dose of milk, dad can be found by the kitchen sink, leaning over it. His mouth is open, slow, thin trickles of blood proceeding from it and running to the sink. He has one of his palms open in front of him. And every minute or so, something starts to come out of his mouth. Something sharp, and gleaming, and blood-coated. Slowly, the razor falls out of his mouth and into Wilhelm's palm, and the man puts it with the small pile he's already started of them in the sink.

He doesn't know exactly how many razor blades are inside of him, but he knows he can still feel them. And luckily for him, he has his telekinesis to help get them out.]

Honestly? Either someone really pushed at you, or you drank the milk and found another of it's charms.

The milk. You are hard to press into saying such things.

You are correct.

No. They aren't. But it has always been the few that have actually pulled mankind along.

That's not really true either! Man you're really cynical today.

From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
Is it not?

It's simply like most pack animals. There will always be the alphas, and those who must follow behind.

The difference is that man is not such a simple animal. And yet most allow themselves to be such. To be led.

From: [identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com
I dunno, I'd call us closer to heard animals...sure we follow a leader, but all we want is to be part of the group. Yeah that fucks us over sometimes but still...

Date: 2011-08-22 05:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
And yet, it is that behavior you must learn to break. For the fact is that all men have the power to become a leader, it's merely that few grab it.

Date: 2011-08-23 03:22 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com
Yeah and it's usually the few that suck ass at it. [Which of course is the point that Wilhelm is trying to make, but Ken kinda missed the thought train on that little point.]

Date: 2011-08-23 03:33 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
Indeed.

[Waiting to see if your mind will catch up, Ken.]

[...loading...loading.]

Ah...eheh. Right, that was your point wasn't it. Sorry. Anyways, a lot of people do try and change this you know! It just doesn't work half the time 'cause humans are well, humans.

Date: 2011-08-23 05:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
Also correct. Which there is no shame in being.

The problem is that so few actually do try and change it, and so many are complacent.

Date: 2011-08-24 09:05 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com
Well, yeah. There's a whole bunch of different reasons too.

Date: 2011-08-29 08:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
And yet those reasons tend to be of lesser importance in the long run. Or people create reasons for why they do not, when they are perfectly capable of taking action by themselves.

Date: 2011-08-30 03:01 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] weiss-tank.livejournal.com
But a lot of the time it's hard to see the long run...sometimes the short run is of much more, heh, immediate concern.

[Holy what the heck? Nall's tone betrays his confusion.]

Whoa, Wilhelm... look, I've seen humans at both ends of that spectrum, but... you can't look at it like that.

And yet it's true.

[ After the rules of the milk had been found, Letty wasn't against allowing someone else to drink the milk in the house. She came into the room, just seeing him go onto the couch, and in taking steps closer towards him she saw that he didn't look particularly well at all. ]

It looks like today brought a rather bad bottle to our door.

From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
[Excuse him Letty. He'll slowly attempt to sit up. He hates the fact that someone might see him in pain, let alone practically collapsed and defeated.]

It would seem such was merely the luck of the draw, this time.

Date: 2011-08-22 07:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
[ Letty didn't mind his state - from the phonecalls she had been listening into, they had all sound bad. Without anything to really rush off to do, she decided to take a seat on the couch with him, on the other side. ]

Do you expect to live?

Date: 2011-08-22 08:36 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
[Wilhelm shakes his head. To his displeasure, he can't help but slouch in the seat some in his current state.]

Unlikely. How long it will take to be lethal I don't know but-[He goes quite for a second, biting back a hiss of pain]I have no doubt it will be so in the end.

Date: 2011-08-23 01:21 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
A shame... it looks like it will be a painful death. [ Letty pauses, her eyes staring off before she looks to Wilhelm again. ] Should we try to change that?

Date: 2011-08-23 05:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
[A small, pained laugh, but one that finds genuine humor in it none the less.]

No. If I had desired such, I might have ended it myself once the pain started.

Date: 2011-08-23 06:13 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
Then I won't stop you. [ She shifts to lean an elbow on the back of the couch. ] But what a short time we had to know each other.

Date: 2011-08-23 07:52 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
We'll have more time, still.

Death, here, rarely holds true power.

Date: 2011-08-24 01:00 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
Doesn't it? Should I expect you to become a walking corpse, then?

Date: 2011-08-25 05:25 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
[Wilhelm laughs a bit more at that.]

No. I'll be as I am now, renewed.

For humans, I would think such a practice is absolute cruelty. For one such as I, it's merely an annoyance.

Date: 2011-08-25 06:39 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
Does that mean you are used to dying? There are other species like that.

Date: 2011-08-25 07:05 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
Back home, I was, in a way. Not necessarily death as much as...complete destruction. And rebirth.

Here, I'm becoming far more used to physical death.

Date: 2011-08-26 12:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
Well, I think I would be, too. Your way of death sounds overly dramatic back home.

Date: 2011-08-28 06:38 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
[A small laugh.]

Overdramatic? Yes. Perhaps it [Another pause. Longer, this time, as another wave of pain washes over him.] Perhaps it was.

And yet, necessary at the same time.

Date: 2011-08-28 08:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
Necessities.... I can understand necessities.

[ Pausing, she looks him over, then gives a small smile. ] But let's hope that tomorrow might bring a more better bottle. It's not entirely necessary for you to die here, after all.

Date: 2011-08-29 08:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] repeatsalvation.livejournal.com
We might....hope.

That depends on several factors.

[He lays his head against the arm of the couch, closing his eyes slightly.]

If you could....I believe I would appreciate being...alone for the moment.

Date: 2011-08-31 07:08 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] withwinter.livejournal.com
Hmm... [ For a moment she doesn't move, but then, without any actual show of hesitation to do so Letty stands up. ] Of course...

[ Instead of moving away, however, she takes a step towards him and places a hand on his head and gives him a smile. ] Take a long as you need.

[ She removes the hand and takes a step back, ready to walk off - to head to the main bedroom. She wouldn't mind a sleep herself... ]
