Sheesh, I don't know why anyone wanted to try and get answers from George. Now we're worse off than we were before.
Real answers have yet to come from seriously questioning anyone. Most of the stuff that's found out is made through discovery or eavesdropping. XP At least that makes the next choice easy.[] Drill Selest with questions about your suspicions.
[] Buy her story for now and keep looking for Melanie together.

Entry 82. June 20, 2009.
[x] Tell Roberta and Selest to leave and look for Melanie alone.
"You're right, okay. Finally. I can let Roberta deal with Selest for now. Trusting others has gotten me nowhere. I need to solve this on my own."
"Roberta, I want you to take Selest back to the car and wait for me," Felix demands. Selest immediately tries to protest, but Roberta agrees with the idea. "Selest, no. He's right. We need to get out of here... I can tend to your injury. Let's let Felix handle this," Roberta answers, pulling Selest away. "Be careful, Roberta. And thank you, for everything," Felix says, before turning around and rushing back into the maze.
From the comforts of his hotel room, Chad checks his watch. "Quarter to eleven. Excellent," he smiles. Chad has been watching the chaos unfold on the television with a great deal of enjoyment. Fully aware of what Nicholas plans to do, he can't help but laugh at how clueless the police are. "Rose Bevalli... It's only a week until our 'anniversary.' I wonder, are you happy..." Chad says to himself, his smile fading.
"Let's just hope your friend did what he was told," Nicholas says, threatening the already-terrified cameraman. "Ju-...kill...me..." Oscar stutters, choking on his own blood. "Like I'd really let you off that easy? I want everyone to see your pitiful final moments," Nicholas taunts. Oscar's body begins convulsing again, as the last of his life begins to fade more rapidly. Nicholas faces the cameraman once again and notices he is shaking more uncontrollably. "WILL YOU CALM THE HELL DOWN? GET READY TO GO BACK ON THE AIR SOON!" he screams.
"What...is that?" the FBI agent asks, hesitantly. The police chief rips the small package from the reporter's hands and begins to open it. "WAIT! STOP!" the FBI agent yells, knocking the package out of his hands. "ARE YOU MAD? Who knows what could be in there... We need to be careful..." he yells, terrified. The chief does not take kindly to being looked down on, and they start senselessly cussing and yelling at each other. In the midst of the fresh chaos, the reporter picks the package up off the ground and opens it. "Guys... GUYS! WILL YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING ALREADY!" he yells, catching their attention. They notice the package's wrapping on the ground, and then what the reporter is holding. Before either can flip out again, he says, "I think you two need to look at this. Now."
Felix races through the Arboretum de l'Harmonie's many twisting paths and corridors hoping for any sign of Melanie. His search eventually leads him to what he realizes must be the back. The wind outside is picking up strength and blowing in through an open door. Catching his attention, Felix rushes over to the door, hoping he isn't far behind whoever took Melanie. He steps on something that causes him to stop instantly: Melanie's cellphone. "No...Melanie...please be alright..." he wishes, picking it up. He carefully steps outside and readies himself for an ambush. However, there is no one and nothing waiting for him except disappointment. He examines the employees' parking lot but finds nothing save for a few empty cars. "DAMMIT!" he yells, admitting defeat.
Rose rushes around her room, frantically packing everything she can fit into her suitcase. It was just yesterday she was having a conversation with Oscar. It was just yesterday all of her plans were going perfectly. Rose was confident, if not arrogant, that everything was going her way and nothing could change that. Seeing Oscar's mangled and bloody body on the news was enough to throw her into a state of dire urgency. "No... No... NO! Damn you Chad... It wasn't supposed to be like this!" Rose curses, pacing back and forth. With only a single suitcase, Rose runs out the door and speeds away in her car.
"Hello again, everyone. Terribly sorry to keep you all waiting," Nicholas says into the camera, "but I had to give a present to my friends on the police force. I'm sure they'll share with all of you in time. First, however, we must get on with the show I'm sure you're all dying to see!" The cameraman pans over to Oscar again. "I truly am sorry for what I'm about to make you see, but I believe this pathetic man has suffered long enough. Wouldn't you agree?" he says to the camera, smiling. The cameraman stays on him like a hawk, as Nicholas walks over to Oscar and crouches down next to him. "Oscar Kurst...do you have any last words for our viewers?" Nicholas asks, mockingly. Oscar tries to speak, but all he manages to do is cough up more blood. The cruel smile on Nicholas' face widens. He takes out his pistol, pushes it to Oscar's forehead and leans in close and whispers, "And I really hate that coat you sold me."
Tired of waiting in Felix's car, Selest starts to protest more forcefully. "Roberta! How can we just keep WAITING here?" she yells. Roberta eyes her suspiciously. "Selest...why are you so insistent on being inside? The Selest I know would be happy she's out here and safe," Roberta questions. "Sheesh, what the hell? I just want to help him! And that makes me a bad person now?" Selest argues. "No. I'm just saying. Something doesn't feel right. All of this doesn't fit together. What aren't you telling me?" Roberta demands, now more serious. Selest's eyes narrow in anger as she glares at Roberta. "I'm not hiding anything! Dammit, Roberta! Fine let's just wait here! But when Felix doesn't come out of there, it's your fault..." she concedes.
Oscar's final moments unfold on the television screen in slow motion. The police watch in horror, unable to do anything. Unable to do anything but scream or close their eyes as Nicholas fires his gun, launching two bullets into Oscar's head, ending his torment and splattering everything with blood. "BASTARD!" the chief yells, punching the screen. Oscar was well-liked and well-known around the Trissany area. Many break down in tears. Many want to rush in and end it themselves. Many officers curse their own helplessness. "FOCUS!" the chief shouts, "This isn't over! HE ISN'T DONE! We're going to stop this, NOW! What have you found out about what he gave us?"
Felix stares at Melanie's phone in his hand and breaks down in tears. "Damn it all... How could I be so stupid, so careless... How did my life get to this point? How could this all happen... I can't lose her now..." he cries, falling to his knees. The sky darkens and the wind grows ever stronger, almost in unison.
"Felix...listen to us..."
"No...leave me alone... Screw you voices... THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! DAMN YOU! GET OUT OF MY MIND!"
"Listen..."
[] "......................."
What are the voices inside Felix's head saying to him?

[x] I realize this may be hard for you to understand, we've only been doing what we think is in your best interests. Sometimes you just have to let go of the people around you and focus on YOU Felix. Friends are great, but sometimes you have to move on and stopping worrying so much about what has already happened and worry more about the future and what it'll bring. Don't be too hard on yourself and you need to concentrate on the bigger issues at hand, like what your parents and their cohorts are up to.
My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - xBTAx - 2009-08-09
[x] Felix... This is it. Melanie got captured again, and this is all going to hell. You need to focus. If you give into your rage, you will lose. You need to work together with who you can trust, and find her. And if she's in a safe place, you may have to leave her there for now. She's important, but there are bigger things at stake, unfortunately.
My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - Shidoshi - 2009-08-09
[x] First thing, stop trusting Selest entirely. She came out without harm from that labirynth while you, Roberta and Melanie were all harmed in some way. Go back to your car, throw Selest out and take her gun. Then, with Roberta, start thinking who could have gotten her, think of the suspicious people you have met that turned out to be working with Rose.
My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - Kurtle - 2009-08-09
[X] This time Felix you need to forget about Melanie and Selest. Think about where Rose may be. If George was at the Aboretum then she is obviously involved and is probably in the area. You must have been to this area before, think about where she might be. Melanie is being used as a tool to lure you somewhere, she won't be killed because she is all they have to anger you.

My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - ElectricSix - 2009-08-10
[X] Felix, I will admit our decisions have not always been in your favor. It is no secret that some of our choices have caused harm to those around you. However, we have always acted in your interests. You are on a path, one we have set you on and continue to guide you on. It is not an easy thing to deal with, and obviously you don't wish to listen to us any more. But this isn't the time to ignore us. We have always been honest with you, can you say the same of many of the people around you? Melanie is important to you, we would not deny you your happiness with her, but there are other things you must consider. Your father and your mother both are plotting something. Something that is bigger than you, bigger than Melanie. While we may have caused you harm, they have caused far more harm to you and so many others. Do not lose your focus. Be strong for a while longer. In exchange, we will do everything we can to ensure Melanie's safety. You may not think that very much, but we can make you stronger, more focused, than ever before. You cannot deny our ability to force you to do things. What then do you suppose would happen if your interests and ours were aligned? You would be a force beyond your current self. So I implore you, rather than command you, listen to us once more. For your sake, for Melanie's sake, for everyone's sake.

I hope I didn't scare anyone off with this type of decision... It's just a one-time thing, guys, so have some fun with it. I didn't mean to make it all SRS BSNS (I just didn't want things like "SEX! THREESOME WITH ROBERTA + SELEST NOW!" or something haha). I'm hoping for your opinions on what attitude the voices will take on. What they want to say to Felix right now. What they (you) think he should do from this point. It doesn't have to be something long or detailed.
Rather than simply "choosing" one of the postings, I'll probably combine many of them and take from the general attitude/direction I'm getting from them. I mean, if you don't want to post, that's fine...I just think it would be cool if you did.
My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - Salguod - 2009-08-10
Listen. To be honest, I'm happy if you'd just hole up somewhere and leave everything alone while mom and dad have their little battle.
No, stop yelling and just listen. Since you're apparently so attached to Melanie, I'll help you. Listen to me, not the other fools. Those guys who don't think twice before voting.. mumbleI'mthesmartonemumble...
Fine, fine, I'll stop. Alright, what you'd do is this: First, go back and get the car. Selest and Roberta can walk home, for all I care. Next, turn on to some news radio station. Something big is going on right now and you need to know. Now that Rose has Melanie, she'll contact you. She needs you, after all, especially now that she's stumbled. You'll know what I mean once you listen to the radio. Pretend to give in to her demands. With you on her side, she'll grow overconfident again. And that's when you strike. How? We'll see.
But, really, it's so much easier if you just forget Melanie and this mess. Fine, go ahead and rescue your girlfriend, Mr. hero, haha.

Felix listen, this isn't the time to be crying, if you really love Melanie you should be searching her, the best you can do is head to the car and turn the radio to see if we can find any clue.
My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - ShadowMarck - 2009-08-10
[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"][X]Felix... We realize that we have caused pain to you and the people around you that you care for. This whole crazy mess has been the two warring forces of Chad and Rose, you're own parents, and we're trying to safely escort you through the crossfire the best we can. We haven't always made actions in your best interests, but it's in our best interest to see you through all of this to the end with a smile on your face... *The voice seems to be starting to sob, as if the guilt of all the pain they have caused to Felix is finally crushing down on them* I don't know...if there is any way you can forgive us, or if there is any ways we can do something to make you want to. We've wanted to make you happy for a long time. I'm not sure if you would have gotten back together with Melanie through all this, if we voices hadn't changed from sadistic, malicious evils to what we are now. *The sobbing of the voices begins to stop, and a transcluscent figure appears in front of Felix. Short, with long, brown hair, stretching a few inches below below his shoulders, with big, blue-green eyes with an enthusiastic shine in them, he outstretches his hand, as if to help Felix through all this.* Felix... We will help you. We will rescue Melanie. We will ruin Chad's evil plot. We will defeat Rose. We will stop all this madness. I can see the end to all of this mess soon. I don't see specifically what it is, or what lies in the aftermath of it all, but we will do all in our power to ensure you are happy after it all. So, I beg of you, if you do nothing, we can do nothing to help you, so I, personally, representing all of the voices that have influenced you through this, will do all I can to make sure you smile after all of this is finally over.............
Command: Go back to the car and persuade Roberta to tell Selest to go home, then, working together with Roberta (one of the few you can trust) to find out exactly what's going on and to stop any death, destruction, and disaster.
I hope this isn't too much for this, Felix. This is just the thoughts for what I would write that was flowing through my head when I was reading this and everyone else's choice.[/COLOR]
My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - MetaSeraphim - 2009-08-11
I haven't read any of the stuff the other people wrote, so if I steal something from you I am sorry.
Felix, I know it might be hard for you to listen to us because of what has happened in the past, but this isn't the time for that right now. Melanie is in danger and she needs you right now, this is the worst possible time for beating yourself up. You need to calm yourself down and think about how you can find her. You saw how Selest was acting back there, you can start there.
And remember Felix, we've only been trying to help you the best we can.
