Talk

TW:Talk of d3ath, talk of p0ss3ssi0n.
============================

"So. I hope you both know why I wanted you both here."

Me, Joel and False were all sat on the cliff like edge of Chromia which led down to where my enchanting table sat on the small island surrounded by water.

"Uhm- not really?" False admitted

I looked at Joel carefully when I next spoke.

"That's fine False. I wanted to talk to you both about an event that happened when just you two and one other person was online. The event involving Joel and- and Jimmy."

I saw False look to Joel as well after I said Jimmy's name. My heart broke when I saw what his reaction to just hearing Jimmy's name was.

His breath hitched, his whole body tensed and he was slightly shaking. Tears were quietly forming in the corners of his eyes.

He's never shown that much fear for anyone or anything, so him tensing up and visibly holding back tears at the mention of a name- of someone he used to tease for that matter- is really unsual for him, and upsetting to see.

"Joel. I don't know exactly what happened, but I spoke to him and he said he didn't know what you could be on about. That's an obvious lie. At one point when I mentioned talking to you, False, he zoned out for about five minutes. And that's just the start."

False sighed and placed a hand on Joel's arm.

"What did you gather? Joel was incredibly shaken up from it, he was more put together when he got to mine but by the time we'd finished speaking, well, let's just say he was worse than this. So I don't know if he wants to speak just yet, and I don't think it's my place to tell you."

"Holy shit. Yeah okay. I'll speak first then."

Then I started talking, I told them about Jimmy's increased ability to lie- I could only just tell he was lying to my face, the fact he acted as though he didn't know what Joel could have been on about, the way he acted when False was mentioned, how he said she probably couldn't say anything about it, and then what happened after I "left", him talking to someone or something, and that something got him to swear and wanted him to shoot Fwhip.

"So basically, Jimmy might be insane. He was speaking to some random person or thing and he even swore at one point which isn't like him, and then he said- and I quote- 'I'm not going to shoot Fwhip'. So whatever or whoever it is wants him to shoot Fwhip for some reason. And I kind of pieced together that he might of shot you Joel..."

Joel had shifted positions throughout my speech. He'd used his godly powers to shrink to a height closer to mine and False's and was now being reassured by False that everything was alright and that he could speak about it when he was comfortable.

Then Joel spoke for the first time since we'd sat down.

"Yeah. He shot me. And his eyes- green."

Those eight words were all he was able to say before he shut up again, nodding to False then staring at the floor.

"Are you sure Joel?"

He nodded at her again, but didn't look up to face her.

"Ok," She turned to face me "You were right about Jimmy shooting Joel. I'm guessing Joel broke his dam or something, I'm not sure. But the last words there, his eyes are normally brown yeah?"

"They are- what does that-" I cut myself off. "Were his eyes green..?"

"You got it."

"So at least we know it wasn't Jimmy then."

"What?"

"If his eyes were green, clearly he wasn't the one in control. Something or someone took over. And I'm guessing that whatever took over Jimmy in that moment, was the same thing he was talking to and the one that wanted him to shoot Fwhip."

"So you mean he got possessed?"

"Exactly."

Joel spoke up again.

"What would it of been though?" His voice was slightly shaky, but he seemed to be more comfortable now.

"I'm not sure. All I know is that Jimmy isn't himself. I think Joel did break Jimmy's dam, as you said False, and now something is trying to take over him, or more specifically, his brain."

They both nodded in acknowledgement and I smiled at them.

"So now we've settled on the fact that Jimmy might be getting possessed, what do we do now?"

"How do you say that so calmly!?" Both of them asked at the same time.

"My eye got stolen by a skull, I live next to a god, said god being sat right here, there's a witch on this server, I've dealt with other serious stuff, there's a goblin who used to be a human. And that's not even all of it."

"Y'know what, fair enough."

"Right. Now let's come up with a plan for what to do about our discovery."

I nodded and we started listing ideas and plans. We eventually settled on me going to warn Fwhip that Jimmy might be out for him and False telling everyone to look out for Jimmy and warning them not to piss him off and run if his eyes go green, saying to go to me, Joel or herself for more information if needed.

"Right but what should I do?" Joel asked after we'd sorted out our plans

"Jimmy is going to come talk to you to make things up. He said not to tell you but I figured you should definitely get a heads up. If he tries anything then make an excuse to go to Chromia if I'm online, or jusy fly far away, potentially go to the nether to escape quicker. I hope if you two work things out though then he might be able to regain his control over whatever turned his eyes green."

"Right. Thanks for the warning."

"Of course. I think you two should go now though. If either of you need something then feel free to come talk to me, or each other even-"

False nodded. "Alright. I'll see you later then." She waved and flew off to go back to her empire.

Joel stood up and shifted back to his original size before flying up to reach the level where he could land on upper Stratos.

I neatened my hair and clothes after the wind from Joel's wings blew everything out of proportion and set about fixing any decorations that were knocked off balance as well. I had to wait for Fwhip to get online, so for now I think I'm just going to look into what on earth could be possessing Jimmy to the point of murder.

For now though, I have to act as though everything is normal.

Not the biggest fan of this chapter but at least it's somewhat decent and progresses the story.
