Melody walks out of the funny door and waves at Isaac. "Hi! How are you?" Isaac quickly turns and points a gun at Melody. He’s shaking.
Melody stares at the gun. "Oh- woah hey there buckaroo- no need to do anything rash, okay???"
"Get out. Get the fuck out." He sounds scared
Melody backs up to go into the living room. "O-okay- just don't shoot, pal-"
He backs into the bathroom.
Luna walks through and notices Isaac in the bathroom, but again, she opts to giving him some space. Hopefully someone can help him. Oh and she notices the gun. Thats a pretty goddamn good thing to notice. Luna enters the living room.
Luna walks in kind of shaken up on seeing Isaac with a gun. Melody sits on the couch. "Isaac has a gun"
"Yeah I noticed, Melody. I understand why... kind of?"
"Why??" she tilts her head
"I guess it's more a theory on why. Recently, his mother joined us here. And she attacked one of our housemates with a gun. In retaliation, she died because Cole is our protector... and Isaac was in the room. So as far as I know, this is a response to something extremely traumatic."
"Oh..." Melodys ears tilt down. "Thats horrible..."
Luna nods sorrowfully. "Technically, that isn't his mother. It's a conduit divulgar in her image, not entirely sure how that works. Or how she's able to revive so easily. She's not down and out, but you still gotta think about it from Isaac's POV." she sighs.
"Yeah... does... Isaac know that shes not really dead???"
"I'm honestly unsure."
"Maybe someone should tell him..." Melody looks to the hall, standing up "I can try?"
"Can I be your backup in case things go south? But yes, go for it."
Melody nods. "Yeah! Thank you,," She smiles heading into the hall and Luna follows.
The moment anyone takes a step in the hall in view of the door, Isaac fires and misses, shooting the wall instead. Melody yelps. "Isaac- your mom isnt dead-" She says, panicking a little
"THAT THING ISNT HER"
"Okay-" Melody puts her hands in the air. "Why are you pointing a gun at us?"
"The moment that bitch shows her face I’m giving her make over in lead and gun powder" he sounds a mixture of mad and scared.
"Isaac, she's a conduit divulgar." Luna calls out from the hallway.
"I DON’T CARE WHAT THE HELL SHE IS. I WANT HER GONE FOR GOOD!"
"..." something about this concerns her.
Melody looks to Luna. "Well... can't Harmonia eat souls?"
"Yes they can. We just need to get Harmonia over here and speak aloud her name. Quick kill, removal and consumption of soul."
She pauses. "This person like... deserves it right? We're not plotting to kill an innocent?"
"I don't know. I barely know anything about her. I know they're apparently a researcher of some kind. And a conduit divulgar. And undying." Luna sighs, really unsure if this is a good idea. Nervous even.
"NOTHING ABOUT THAT FUCKING WITCH IS INOCCENT"
"..."
Isaac has started crying
Luna takes a deep breath. "Isaac let's just stop saying her name. That's the only way she's able to come here."
{- Or Nyx, but she can suck eggs. -}
"I-it’s not that simple- she’ll still fucking show up!"
Luna sighs.
Melody nods. "Okay- Isaac we’ll help get rid of her, okay?"
"That is all we can do. Is this what you want Isaac? Please, think it over."
"We could threaten her maybe?" Melody suggests.
"Th-" he suddenly stands up and starts firing at the bathroom wall
Luna puts her hands over her ears and defocuses. "aa."
Melody jumps. "Isaac?? Isaac nothing’s there!"
"Isaac please, they're not there." Luna tries to calm him down.
Isaac backs into the hallway as he continues to open fire on the walls. Melody and Luna back up, shaking.
"Isaac! Do you see her in your vision?" she calls out to him.
He stops firing and puts his hands to his head as hes crying.
Luna just stays there silent. Genuinely unsure what to do.
Melody hesitantly tries to touch his shoulder. He lets her and slides down the wall he cries into his hands. Luna keeps her distance as her eyes turn purple. Melody tries to hug him to help. Isaac is shaking and leans into the hug. "It’s okay- it’ll be okay..." She says gently, trying to calm him down.
Isaac stays there crying before suddenly pushing Melody off, standing up and opening fire at a different wall
"Isaac everything is going to be okay. I promise." Krystal’s voice is soothing and calm, but controlled.
Melody covers her ears, panicking and running out of the room
Isaac growls and turns to face Krystal. His eyes are full of rage. Krystal faces Isaac. Their focus is on Isaac with the intent to disarm, not harm.
"Isaac, we will protect you from her. We will not allow her to harm you anymore." Their voice is calm. "Please put down the weapon."
"No-no no no that doesnt fix anything" he points the gun at her
Krystal locks onto the gun with their psychic magic and attempt to rip it from his hand. "Please." The look in her eyes is extremely serious and she makes eye contact. The gun is successfully taken as Krystal removes the bullets.
Melody runs in, trying to tackle Isaac now that the gun is gone.
Isaac is tackled by doesnt fall over. He stumbles back quite a bit though
Melody stands awkwardly and looks up at him. "Hey so lets just calm down okay-"
Isaac stares at Melody.
Melody backs up, laughing nervously.
Krystal continues the stare down, preparing for a psychic hold if things get intense. "Melody, you might wanna get behind me."
Isaac attempts a Foxy jumpscare. Krystal attempts a psychic hold in response. If successful, Isaac can breathe, blink, and talk, but all other movements are stopped as long as Krystal keeps focus. "PSYCHIC STOP!"
Kade steps out into the hallway, takes one look at the festivities, and slowly retreats.
He tries to bite at random but falls on the ground as he tries to break it the best he can.
Melody backs up, panicking and running to the kitchen to get a pan to knock Isaac over the head with
Krystal is struggling to keep the hold. "HURRY MELODY!" As Isaac tries to break through the stop, Krystal's focus wavers greatly.
Melody tries to hit Isaac over the head with the pan to knock him out. It works and Isaac is knocked out.
Krystal lets go and falls to the floor panting and sweating. "Gods, why did they have to make psychic stop actually hurt to use?"
Melody shrugs, shaking a bit. "What do we do now???”
Krystal is in no real mood to talk. They look out of it a bit.
Melody is panicking not sure what to do in case he wakes up. She suggests locking him in the bathroom in the group chat.
Krystal struggles to get back up on 2 feet. "yeah, i think that might be a good idea.. the bathroom thing, until cole is back home.."
Melody starts attempting to drag Isaac in. Krystal helps. Isaac is rather heavy but its doable.
Before locking him in the bathroom, Krystal looks over Isaac for any wounds and addresses them with basic first aid. His head is just bruised. Since the skin isn’t broken, she just leaves it alone.
Melody puts him and leaves the bathroom. "Okay... trapped."
"Sure hope nobody needs to pee.." Krystal chuckles tiredly. "dear gods that was close."
They walk out to the living room but stumble a bit. It feels like they just pulled every single muscle in their body.
