Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

[sansseraph]

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"

[He nods, looking very serious — giving Erik his full attention.]

Me, too... The people who were mean to me. I don't gotta be with them anymore. [He considers his past for a moment; it was years ago for him now, but it still leaves a terrible wound on his heart when he remembers too vividly. He makes a little fist, as if trying to scare those terrible memories away.] I used to be so scared. Even after I got away. But now... Now if I ever saw them again, I'd let them know they hurt me bad, but they're not gonna touch me again!

[His adoptive parents taught him that. Kaze and Heather and Ned, they all taught him.

He's much stronger now.]

An'... that I'm a better person than them!

[This child died. It isn't a fact Erik had forgotten, but it strikes him anew. The bruised and always hurting part of him crumples inside, and it takes him a good moment to take a breath and push through it.

He reaches out and pats Takeshi's head, a bit awkward.]

You are. Remember that.
