mehhhhhhh

[] Admit you've met Rose, but lie about other details.

yerp...

[overkill]Admit you've met Rose, but lie about other details.

They're still.. not very well known, so trust is still something that must be earned with time.

Good job guys. You didn't get us killed while I was away.


That being said... Kyle...

I'm still waiting for a random closet with a Saw reference

[X] Admit you've met Rose, but lie about other details.

Like everyone else.

[x] Admit you've met Rose, but lie about other details.

"Hmm...I guess I can't argue the logic behind that. Sounds like a good way to possibly learn something. No way I can actually trust these guys."

"Okay, I haven't been completely honest with you. I did meet with Rose this morning," Felix says. James' eyes light up, and he's filled with a great sense of hope. He catches himself from becoming too excited, though, because he realizes the dangers such a statement could hold.

"I see. Well, that's great news, isn't it? What happened?"
"She contacted me the other day and told me when and where to meet her. I agreed, and I drove down and met her in Lixmilo."
"Wait. Lixmilo? Isn't that quite far away?"
"It's a long drive, but I left early and didn't stay long."
"Hm, yeah, that's not what I meant. It's just I fear we underestimated Rose again. We believed she was closer than that."
"When I met her, she warned me about my father and his project. Oh, and she mocked you guys. She's definitely not worried about you."
"Damn her. It's far too early to become cocky..."
"Why's that? Patrick's out of the picture, Tom's dead and two others were taken in on false claims. You guys don't seem that fearsome."
"Are you mocking us then, as well? Just because Patrick is being held doesn't mean a thing. His plan is still in motion."
"Plan? Care to explain?"
"First, what else did she say? Did she give you anything perhaps?"
"No, and she didn't actually say very much. It was a huge waste of my time."
"Why would Rose call you all the way to Lixmilo for no real reason?"
"Hell if I know. At least I can agree with you on how crazy she is now."

James takes a moment to analyze the current situation and realizes how terrible his position is. He doubts Felix is giving him the full truth, but he knows he's desperate to earn his help. Felix notices the struggle on James' face and is happy he played his cards right for once.

"We haven't been completely honest with you, either, Felix. Anthony revealed more than just scant details of their project. Things even Chad doesn't know we know."
"I'm listening."
"He was so drunk that night that we decided to take him to Patrick's house to rest it off. When he woke up, for whatever reason, his conscience got the best of him. He told Patrick everything he knew. Their plans, their tests, their results. You."
"What about me?"
"You were the key, Felix. Everything after Chad involved you made their project easier. Everything fell into place much better."
"What...what do you mean? How did he involve me?"
"I'm afraid I don't know those details. Patrick may. Regardless, we realized how important you are."
"Then why the long wait? Why not get me right after you found out? You waited a year, and then you act like idiots when you make your move."
"It came as a great shock to us. It was a lot of information to take in, and then with Anthony getting murdered we truly realized how dire the situation was. We had to be smart about planning. Things got pushed ahead of schedule due to carelessness. We grew desperate."
"Still doesn't make sense. Why want to get me anyway? Do you want to replicate the project or something?"
"No, no! That's not it at all, Felix. We need you on our side to stop Chad."
"I still don't understand. Regardless, that makes even less sense now. Chad's not a problem anymore."
"Yes, well, I wouldn't underestimate your father. He's capable of more than you think."
"I need to talk with Patrick more than anything then. If I am supposed to trust you guys, I need all the answers."
"I understand, Felix. I realize things have gotten very messed up. I'll call you tomorrow and we'll talk more, okay? I've already stayed too long for tonight."
"Sure, that's fine."

James leaves and Felix and Melanie finally get back to their plans to eat. They make a delicious meal and discuss the latest conversation. Melanie is more willing to trust them than Felix is, but he feels if he can just talk to Patrick again maybe everything will start to make sense. The young couple enjoy their food together and talk until the late hours. Felix takes her home and then hands himself over to his mind.

That night, Felix's nightmare takes on a more frightening, gruesome form. He stands over Melanie, her screams grow quieter and more pathetic before fading into pitiful begging. "Please Felix... Why... Please..." Felix slashes her another time with the knife in his hand, already covered in blood. "Why Felix..... I love you...." His terrifying smile widens as he slashes over and over. The life in Melanie's eyes fades as her final tears trickle down her face...

June 19, 2009.

"What is wrong with me... Why is this nightmare getting worse? Can I never sleep in peace again? Why Melanie? AHHHHHHH! I DON'T DESERVE THIS! THIS ISN'T OUR FATE!" Felix screams as he wakes from his tormenting sleep. He tries to wash away the horror with a hot shower, but Melanie's dying face won't leave his mind. "Damn it all..." he rubs his head in frustration. "I wonder when he's going to call. It's past 10 already," Felix notices as he tries to enjoy his bowl of cereal. After finishing, he collapses on the couch and tries to shake the nightmare from his head. The ringing of the phone grants Felix's wish. He jumps up and answers it.

"Hello again, my son!" Rose says with her usual cheer.
"What? What do you want?" Felix responds, caught off-guard.
"Always so rude. Did you enjoy my present?"
"No. I don't like your stupid games."
"You really can't blame me for you being a terrible boyfriend."
"...goodbye. Stay out of my life."
"Haha. No, no, Felix. Wait! I'm sorry~ Forgive your mother, okay?"
"I'm hanging up now."
"But surely you're interested in finding out more?"
"Not from you."
"Don't be cruel! You hurt me! I even made a new special friend just for you! Haha!"
"You're crazy."
"Hahaha. Regardless, I think you'll want to meet my new friend. He's a pathetic excuse of a man, but he knows some fun little secrets."
"...what have you done?"
"Haha! Let's meet in the mall again. I'll give you directions from there."
"No, not this again. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR GAMES."
"Don't be stubborn. I went through so much trouble for you..."

Felix hangs up before Rose can say another word. "ARGH. Damn her... She shouldn't be able to FRUSTRATE me this much!" he screams. "And to think I'm actually curious again! Damn her..." he shakes his head. Felix suddenly stops and he realizes something very dangerous. "Wait a second... She couldn't mean Lizor could she? No..." he thinks. "Ugh...what can I do to get ahead of this?"

[] Head to Trissany and meet with Rose again.
[] Wait for James' call and meet with him.
[] Head to the police station and get Nicholas' help.

What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

 Spoiler

Wow I really had to push past a bad case of BLOCK on this one. I kept getting stumped on where I wanted to go with certain things... I think it turned out pretty nice, though.

Had a major scare just now. My computer froze right when I typed the choices, and I had to force shut down. THANK THE HEAVENS for Firefox's "Restore Previous Session" option. What a life saver. Whoever invented that is a genius among men, especially making it even save typed text in a forum post box.

Think carefully about this decision now guys. Remember things can always be different than they appear.

Ffffffffffff-

Rose again? I still beg for the slaughter the b'itch option.

[ilol'datlixmilo] Wait for James' call and meet with him.

Donotlike pretending parents. So sick of them.

[X] Head to the police station and get Nicholas' help.

The man's good at what he does. Definitely want his help.

[x] Wait for James' call and meet with him.

Seems like the best way to get answers.

FFFFFF

They already knew about the project! Damn, lying didn't help as much as I thought it would. At least we learned the name of another not-so-close town in the process.


[x] Head to Trissany and meet with Rose again.

Rose's mind games are pretty fun. I hope she was referring to Lizor, it's about time we met this guy in person.

How do you pronounce Lixmilo? I put it in Microsoft Sam and chuckled pretty hard!

[x] Wait for James' call and meet with him.

Just to piss Rose off.

[X] Head to the police station and get Nicholas' help.

Uh... didn't he kill that FBI woman?

[x] Head to Trissany and meet with Rose again.

Rose is much more entertaining than those New Future guys.

Uh... didn't he kill that FBI woman?

And he did it well. Exactly why you are in need of his assistance.

Nick's working with Chad, so stay away from him. Nick = BAD EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND! Also, Rose's "New friend" could just be Patrick. Please don't make it Lizor, Kyle, because that would suck .[/COLOR]

Moar Rose Pl0x

Wait for James' call and meet with him.

Rose is awesome and all, but we need a change of pace.

How do you pronounce Lixmilo? I put it in Microsoft Sam and chuckled pretty hard!

Licks-my-low (basic). Lie-Me-Low (silent x/general awesome). Lex-Me-Low (e sounds).

I won't give any "official" pronunciation. Whichever ways sounds best to you!


4 wait for James, 5 go see Rose, 1 go see Nicholas

(And whoa, I just realized how early I'm up today. It's only 8!)
