Assault: Timberwolf

I just realized I never mentioned his name, Paul.  Simple.  Aren't Timberwolves suppose to travel in packs/gangs because based on my recon of him Paul seemed like a lone wolf(pun intended).  The plan was simple; I go attend church, after church is finished I ask him some questions privately, send him to his god quickly, and then get the hell out of there.  His preaching wasn't bad and the other people seemed really into it, but I couldn't help but notice the emphasize put on angels in his speech.  When it was over and everyone was getting up to leave I asked Paul if I could ask a few questions privately about the church.  He said sure just to wait until he said goodbye to some of the other church goes.  I waited until everyone had left and he came over to me.

P:  You said you wanted you ask me some question, correct?  Oh I'm sorry I never introduced myself.  I'm Paul. <reached out his hand>

F:  Oh sorry I'm Fred <shook his hand>

P:  Nice to meet you.  So those questions?

F:  It's just that I'm new here and I've been trying to find a church.

P:  I'm glad to hear that you've decided to try our little church.

F:  Me too. 

This is the part where I pulled out my sword, uncovered it, and stabbed Paul with it.  Except he caught me and punched me before I could make contact.   

P:  You're that do-gooder from around town aren't you?

F:  I'm just protecting them from you and your freak masters.

P:  I'm just trying to get people to recognize the one true god.  To embrace the Archangel.  <yes he smirked when he said that>

He tackled me knocking me aside, then ran to pull out a mace from his hiding place.  He pulled his arm back and brought it down upon me but I rolled off to the side and picked up my sword.

F:  You aren't trying to turn them to the true faith just send them to a monster.

I stabbed at him and when he moved to the side I hit him with the hilt staggering him a bit.  I went in for the kill when his mace hit me hard in the sides.  I was on the ground trying to breath and holding my newly broken ribs.

P:  I am easing them into worshiping the Archangel, the afterlife manifested, and you say that is not the true faith.  Would you deny this miserable people Bliss?  Well guess what I've already recruited new believes so you are too late, hero boy. 

F:  How many actually reach Bliss you bastard?

P:  I can't tell you that but I can tell you this.  You won't.

I was about to die.  In a few seconds that mace would come done and cave my skull in killing me.  Who would I go to in death, the Archangel or the Dark One I wondered.  But, I decided I wasn't going to die without killing Paul first.  I ignored the pain I was feeling from the mace and the pain I was about to feel and jumped at Paul with all my weight and knocked him against the ground.   Despite my dizziness I headbutted Paul bouncing his head off the ground, and picked up his mace.  Then I brought it down onto his face.  And it was over.

K:  Nice job, Warrior.

I turned to see Knife sitting in one of the empty pews.

K:  Though I must say murder in a church seems a little sacrilegious even to me.

W:  Been a while Knife.  <I said between heavy pants.>

K:  Last I saw you we set your town free.

W:  If you're here to kill me do it already.  I don't need the speeches about being a heretic and a traitor.  Just kill me I can't defend myself.

K:  What?  I don't intend to kill you now or anytime in the future.  <She got got and walked towards me then bent and told me,>  I'm with Runner on this one.  I think that you'll realize the error of your ways and will join back up with God again.  We chosen have crises of faith often, but what matters is that we come back.  I know that deep down you are a true believer and I'm just here so that we can set you back on the right path.

With that she got up and walked out will I screamed at her the entire time.  After a while of laying there I struggled to get on my feet feeling like complete shit.

Report: Recon

When I got back into town I started to do some recon on the Timberwolf as soon as I made it in.  Nothing noteworthy about his schedule he does to his church, his home, and a store every now and then, but as I was watching him head into the church today I heard a scream.  I rushed to see what it was and when I arrived I saw a young man probably 17-18 yelling at a little boy whose footsteps froze the ground with every damn step he took.

M:  G-go away!  Leave me be!

CB: Come to the window,
       My baby, with me,
 
M:  GO! 

CB:  And look at the stars
        That shine on the sea!
        There are two little stars
 
I ran at the the cold boy with my sword and knocked him on to the ground while leaving a few cracks on him.

W:  Run now!  It won't last long.  <The man ran off as fast as he could.>

CB:  No, I just wanted him to be my friend. <he said sounding disappointed>

At this point I hear footsteps behind me and assume that the young man came back for some stupid reason.

W:  Didn't I tell you to run?

OtherM:  No, I don't believe you did friend. 

It was the man from the other day that I bumped into after talking to Runner.  What in the world was he doing here.

W:  Quick get the hell out of here you don't know what this fucker will do to you.

CB:  That's mean.  <The Cold Boy turned to face the other man> Will you be my friend?

OM:  Of course I will I'm every bodies friend!

Cold Boy:  <At first he looked happy but then something changed, he scowled at the man>  I don't like you.  <he said this with so much hate it surprised me, and then... he was gone>

W:  Who are you? 

OM:  I'm your friend.

And with that he walked away and I was left alone.  One question, why do I have a have a bad feeling with this. 

Delay

Earlier this week I got an email asking me to meet someone a few cities over, and I agreed to leave the town for a bit.  So I was standing in an alley behind a store waiting when he arrived.

W:  Runner why did you make me come out here to talk to me?

R:  I had to meet with someone else and this worked better for all of us.

W:  That's what I meant.  What if Virgil sees me?

R:  I'll be frank, Warrior.  You need to stop being feeling so damn guilty all the time.  Virgil doesn't blame you and I am sure that he'll be trilled to see you again.

W:  That's not the reason you asked me to come here though.

R:  <sighs>  You've been assigned a proxy.

W:  Why now and who is it?

R:  The higher-ups figured that you would get yourself killed considering your targets, but as you're not dead they they decided that they would send someone to kill you.  To be specific Knife.

W:  Fuck my luck.  Hey what did you want to talk to Virgil about anyway?

R:  Unfortunately the exact same thing

W:  Geez.  Who'd he get?

R:  <Retracted>

W:  <Laugh>  Wow, they'll get along.

R:  That's what I told him.

W:  Runner thanks for the info, but if that's all I need to get back to work.

R:  No there was one more thing I needed to talk to you about Warrior.  <Runner walker up to me and slapped me across the face>

W:  The Hell was that for!?

R:  Move on already.  Kyle and Virgil both forgave you now you need to forgive yourself.

W:  Runner you-

R:  I know why you really keep fighting and it's not just to make up for your time under the Slender Man.  I've read the descriptions of your fight and heard some first hand accounts of how reckless you are in those fights.  You are just hoping that you die in a blaze of glory trying to save people.  Fortune favors the foolish indeed.  You don't need to die.

W:  <I just looked at the ground and stayed silent.>

R:  I'm sorry.  That was uncalled for.

W:  No, it was fine Runner.  Look I really do appreciate the info, but I need to go.

R:  Of course.  Good-bye.

W:  See ya.

I started to walk away but around the corner I bumped into someone by mistake.

W:  Sorry didn't see you there.

?:  Don't worry friend that was my mistake.  That looked like quite the fight back there.

W:  <I was suspicious at this>  Oh you saw that?

?:  Yeah a little.  It looks like that guy really does care about you.  Must be a really good friend.

W:  Yeah... yeah I guess he is.

?:  Well it was great talking to you friend, but I need to go.  Have a great day.

And with that he left waving.  I have to admit I liked that guy for some reason and his smile didn't hurt either he was so damn happy.  I'm headed back to take on Archangel's servants currently and except to be back within two days.   

Update on the Town's Situation

Well it looks like the proxy division won't last must longer with the amount of infighting going on.  That's really good news.  That said the Archangel has gotten quite the following around town thanks to his Timberwolf(as pHIL corrected me), and it doesn't seem like he'll lose them anytime soon thanks to the murders and disappearances happening around the town lately.  There is also talk around town is that a "poor, freezing(and creepy) little boy has been showing up around town asking for help" which I'll be honest frightens me that so many people know about him.  How many people must have seen him I mean if there is gossip of him. 

Like I said last post I'm staying and going to try and decrease the amount of Fear related activity in the town starting with the Timberwolf.  I've never dealt with Timberwolves before, so does anybody have any advice before I do something stupider than usual?

Killed Him

No big summary for this one I'm not really in the mood.  The new proxy leader is dead and a few subordinates with him.  I'm still alive, but I did take a lot of injuries in that confrontation.  That's the story.  I'm staying in this town a bit longer that way if I fucked up again I can keep fixing it until it fine.  

Aftermath/It's been a bad day.

I stayed in town an extra few days in order to rest and to see if Richard's death made a difference for those runners.  Things went straight to Hell.  Did they start fighting over who should be in control like I hoped?  Yeah, but some of them realizing they could do whatever they wanted and went on a group mass murdering spree around town.  Damnit!  I was trying to fucking help people not this!  But it gets worse.  Apostles or whatever Archangel's servants are called are taking advantage of the infighting and moving in, while they are using the families' sadness to get them to "embrace the Archangel."  Plus, I've heard from Runner that on the opposite end of the spectrum the murders are also causing more people to become loners and there are more Cold Boy sighting around town too.  Lastly I've noticed that the new top proxy wears a lot of red so I think there could be a redlit in charge!  Redlight being in control of anything is bad news so I'm debating offing him too, but after what happened last time is that a good idea?  With my luck Kelevra and his worshipers will join in the destruction if I kill him.  I'm so fucking confused!  and so tired.

And I saw Him.  It was only a few seconds but that was enough to bring back little memories.  Fuck you Runner wanting them for you moral experiment.  Sorry I don't mean that just frustrated and need to get it all out I guess.  It was a small memory but it... it was more of a feeling.  It was that feeling of salvation I use to have for those I murdered in the Dark One's name.  Ugh!  It feels so blissful but it is wrong I know it!  I know! It has to be.  I'm not that murderer.  I'm not

Assault: Richard

     Today I got lucky when I learned that this town's local proxy group was planning a massacre of a local runner safehouse.  It's a nice little place that Runners can get shelter in for a few days, have warm meals, and discuss tips to survive being hunted by all the Fears and their servants.  The reason I was so lucky is the Proxies here are all nuts like Virgil nuts. Ok more like if he saw everyone in the world as proxies nuts.  From the information that I gathered if I took out the boss Richard there was a good chance the proxies would fall apart infighting.  No pHIL not all of us them are crazy but the ones that are get the attention.  So it was decided that I would have to kill Richard.

     Getting to Richard wasn't really that difficult all I had to do was dress up in a ratty black hoodie with blood stains while mumbling about knives and boom I'm in their warehouse base.  None of the others noticed a new guy coming in because they get sent here all the time as punishment and this local base loses members fast.  I walked on uninterrupted to Richard's office upstairs and knocked on the door.

R:  Come in.  <I open the door and walk in and he looks up at me.>  Are you the new guy?  Well hope you like insanity because that's the norm he-.  <He stands up and grabs a gun off his desk.>  Oh great you.

      I ran towards him and ducked then rolled under the table dodging his shots minus a minor scrape on the arm.   He started to say something but I grabbed his leg and pulled down to the ground.  I didn't have enough room to use my, so instead I lunged forward with my knife aiming to plunge it into his chest.  Richard rolled to the side and thrust me aside into the table.  The good thing is he forgot to grab the gun and was now weaponless.

R:  Why are you attacking me?  I though you were just going for the less savory member of our organization, and while I can understand going after any of the psychopaths that I unfortunately have to take care of.  I don't rape, mutilate, or steal. 

W:  You were planning to massacre the local safehouse. 

R:  So?  What makes runners so much better than us?  Okay I was planning to kill them, but runners kill us all the time and you aren't killing them.  Anymore I should say.

      I went at him with the knife but he knocked my arm aside then hit my jaw with his fist following up with several jabs all across my upper body.

R:  The only reason you are bothering us is because of your two runner friends isn't it?  You couldn't handle the pressure of serving God and let your guilt get to you!

W:  Shut up!

     I threw my knife towards him and pulled out my sword quickly while he was dodged the knife.  He ran towards me of course after seeing me throw my weapon, but the split second took to move out of the way really helped and I gave him a deep cut across the side as he gave me a second black eye.  I got up to find Richard laying on the ground gripping his side.

R:  I was only serving God I don't deserve this. 

W:  How many people did your orders hurt?

R:  Hundreds.  How many have yours hurt?

It was finished.  I walked out with as much trouble as when I went it.  I'm surprised that the other proxies didn't interfere I mean I knew they didn't like him due to his extreme tactic at keeping them in line, but still I thought one would do something.  Anything.  I'm going to stay in town for another day or two to see if Richard's death helped at all.
