I came up with another skit that starts weird and creepy. I don't know the time or location either.
((ouch, my heart ;; //))
-----------------
[The room is pitch black. Fierdan is lying down on his bed, trying to stay asleep. There's an unknown character talking to him- and it definitely does not sound friendly and welcoming.]
Unknown: Were you lying to them or to yourself all this time? *sits on the bed, facing Fierdan* What you said and what you did were hypocritical moves of yours. Don't think I, nor they, didn't care enough to notice.
[Uh, just imagine this is Fierdan dreaming..?]
Fierdan: I don't know what you're talking about.
Unknown: *jams finger in the center of Fierdan's chest* You're lying. You, my dear, are a liar.
Fierdan: I don't know--
Unknown: Ha! Don't lie to me too, boy.
Dawn: *just her voice, sounds distant* I thought you wanted nothing to do with the past. What happened to thowing away yours?
Twinkle: *just like Dawn* What happened to that time you told all of us that you weren't going to call yourself, Fierdan, ever again? Did the anxiety and trauma that came along with that name wear off? When did you let it control you? Why don't you be yourself again?
Duke: *just like Dawn and Twinkle* We really thought you were going to get help for what we thought was ptsd, but it now seems the past doesn't affect you as badly as we once thought. I mean, you are fine with what happened. I thought you said you couldn't inflict any harm onto someone else, but what do you do? Say you'll kill me, punch my eyes out.. bring back Soulless. If killing me back then really traumatized you, then you wouldn't have tried to again.
[Back to the bedroom.]
Unknown: What happened to what you said about your name? You said you couldn't face your past. You said you would never call yourself, Fierdan, again. But here you are, calling yourself just that.
Unknown: *sits on top of Fierdan who's sleeping*
Unknown: You're such a filthy liar! Manipulating them into thinking you're so weak and fragile that the very mention of that world could trigger intense panic within you. *pokes Fierdan* You told them you didn't want to hear Fierdan ever again, only to then say you are him. You can't just hide behind a mask of nicknames forever, you know. Accepting and reclaiming your own nickname for yourself means nothing. Want to know what will? *goes up close to his head* Taking pride in your real name. You can't hide away forever, Daniel.
[Uh.. much, much later. Oh look, it's the daytime hours.]
Fierdan: The truth is Duke's right eye didn't go blind. It was his left, the all-black one. He could see a lot better out of his right.
Twinkle: Oh.
Fierdan: Yep. *sighs tiredly* You mind if I sit?
Twinkle: *shakes head*
Fierdan: *sits down on the couch with an empty cushion between Twinkle and him* You know, I've been thinking.
Twinkle: Oh.
Fierdan: You can say something other than, "Oh," too ya know.
Twinkle: *looking at her lap* Yeah, I know.
Fierdan: What is it?
Twinkle: Weren't you going to tell me something?
Fierdan: Yeah but.. I want you to tell me first.
Twinkle: *sighs* Fine. *looks up but doesn't face him* You really scare me sometimes.
Fierdan: Why?
Twinkle: "Why?" You're joking, right?
Fierdan: Am I still a person you fear?
Twinkle: Yes, Fierdan, you are.
Fierdan: *looks intently at Twinkle who won't face him* Is there a way to make you stop being afraid of me?
Twinkle: I don't think there is. It's just that everything about you as a person invokes fear into me. *sighs* I'm just so tired. *finally faces him* You promised that you wouldn't use black fire, but you did use it. You said that you were forced to do violent actions against your will, but you still went ahead and attempted to kill Duke. And don't you dare tell me that was never your intentions. I saw that look in your eyes when Duke came in the room and told us he felt sick. That was all you.
Fierdan: I'm sorry--
Twinkle: Sorry doesn't cut it! I'm so tired of it having to be like we all have to treat you like glass because you're too damn fragile. And if we get too close, you'll make us bleed. *takes a deep breath* This isn't right. How can we live like this? It's not healthy.
Fierdan: *widens eyes as reaction to Twinkle's words* Oh.
Twinkle: *shakes head out of her own frustration at Fierdan and herself* Sorry, that was stupid of me to bring up.
Fierdan: It wasn't stupid. I know I can behave a certain way at times. *pauses* I guess I should tell you what I've been thinking.
Twinkle: Oh, umm, okay.
Fierdan: Am I really just being hypocritical? For what I said I wouldn't do, verses what I end up doing? *sighs* I didn't want to hurt anybody, and that includes Duke, but I.. I did hurt him.
Twinkle: Well, you just gotta learn that Duke isn't the same as Soulless.
Fierdan: I know that. I was just being irrational. I hate how Duke will always remind me somewhat of Soulless, but that's just how he is. Soulless is a part of him, just like I'm a part of him. I can't just stop acknowledging that.
Twinkle: And of course, Duke isn't the same person that you are. It kinda amazes me how different you two can be.
Fierdan: Yeah, I guess. *pauses* Look, I'll try to reduce the amount of black fire I let out. I know it makes you and the others uncomfortable since it's the fire of instant death. And, well, how I don't actually want to kill people.
Twinkle: Huh.. thanks.
---------
Ugh, I keep on getting distracted! I can't focus!
I don't know where I was going with this.
That's it, the end, bye.
