IC: At the shooting range this dusk

[bitingcynicism]

[ITP: Stress relief. Via lots of bullets and lots of perfectly aimed bulls-eyes. Though considering the shooter's stress levels, this could go on for a bit.]

[Blinking a lot and not looking at him]

A... guy.

I didn't try to make him upset.

[Grabs her arm but not as roughly as he normally would.]

What guy? What happened?

[forthehoard]

[Bit of a panic moment! Tries to pry his arm off and stumbles back a bit]

Don't do that!

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

[Lets go, looking a bit chastised.]

... I need you to talk to me then. I want to know how this person has you so shaken.

[forthehoard]

I just don't want to be grabbed right now. It's fine. Everything's fine.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

Don't lie to me.

I can help you.

[forthehoard]

[Getting a bit more worked up! Moving hair out of her face in an agitated way]

I'm sorry! I can't help it! I won't lie anymore.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

... Is that what this is about? Did someone do something to you for pulling your usual games?

[forthehoard]

I didn't want to tell him my name, okay? I don't have to.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

Who?

[forthehoard]

He has a girl name. Claire or something.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

Claire?

What happened?

[forthehoard]

He didn't like that I lied to him. So he dragged me outside.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

Did he threaten you?

[forthehoard]

Yes.

And tied me by my ankles upside down in a tree.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

[... WTF?]

[forthehoard]

[SUPER CASUAL ABOUT IT]

He said he was planning to do more but I apologized and he let me leave.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

Parker...






What does he look like?

[forthehoard]

Crazy.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

[... I don't know why I was expecting an actual answer here.]

... Anything else?

[forthehoard]

He said he was going to watch me. To help with my lying and stealing problems.

I don't want him to.

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

I don't care what he said. You're a real pain sometimes, but you don't deserve to be treated like that. And I'm going to make sure he knows it.

[forthehoard]

No, don't! I have this one, okay? That will just make things worse!

[bitingcynicism.livejournal.com]

... Fine. But I'm not going to let him do this again.

[forthehoard]

Fine, whatever. Just don't make him more upset.

Anyway, I don't want to go back to my stuff right now in case he's watching me. Then he'd find everything I've stolen. I don't think "sorry" would be enough. But I'll get the gun for you when I can.
