The Circus

Dent felt his anger boiling to the surface...he'd hate himself forever for this, but he didn't care. Nothing mattered.

He grabbed Rogue by the shoulders, tore her away from Jewel and Flip, and shook her so hard tears came to her eyes. "You did this to us, too, and don't you forget it!" he shouted at her. "You wanted us to leave you behind to die, remember? You wanted us to leave you 'like that!' What's changed now, Robyn? What's so different?"

Rogue (Robyn)

I looked at him, stunned, shocked, unable to speak. His hands fell down, I gasped for air and covered my mouth turning away from him, and then turned back, with more than hust tears in my eyes. I lifted my index finger and pointed at him, shook my head and said.

"I...I didn't deserve that." I whispered in grief and shock. I had practically raised him, as a brother or a son, and he had just flung it back into my face.

Some small, sensible part of his mind was telling Dent that he had gone too far and should probably back off now, preferably feeling something like guilt, but Dent angrily brushed the thought aside.

"Oh, yes, you did," he snapped. "You keep pretending that I'm some child and that it's your responsiblity to coddle me and take care of me! To you, it's just responsiblity to cry for Jewel! You're saying, 'I should've believed her, I should've taken care of her, it's my fault she's dead,' when you're just fooling yourself that you were trying to take care of her in the first place!"

Robyn

My bottom lip trembled in sadness, my eyes watered.

"How could I forget when you fling it back in my face every chance you get?" I asked, my hands were still bloody from Jewel. "If it was me you wanted dead in the first place... All you had to do was ask." I started to walk oout f the tent, tramatized by sadness and fear.

"Don't think I'll come running after you once you walk out that door." He whispered in a hard voice.

I stopped looked down and kept walking.

"ROBYN!" He yelled.

I held my head up high and just kept walking...

***Neeeeee*

Kaiya

She opened her eyes, and slowly got up.

"ROBYN!" She heard a shout.

Robyn

Tears rolled down my cheeks and for some reason... I couldn't breathe... I fell to the ground and began to shake violently

Kaiya

She saw the girl fall, and the girl began to shake. Kaiya ran over to the girl to assist her.

*haha I know this is long dead....but I couldn't resist one last post....(shrugs)*

Dent turned away from the door, silently fuming, hands trembling in anger and grief. He rubbed his face with his one good hand, which sent a stab of pain up his other arm.

A sudden image of Rogue kneeling over him, gently testing him to see how bad he was hurt. Another of her supporting him, trying to help him walk. Another....

...another image of her, fearlessly taking the blame.

He sank down, not having the stregnth to support himself anymore, and began to cry openly. His pride didn't let him go out to her and apologize.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

*maybe we can...keep it alive?*

I'm up for it

hahah me too...but I don't know if it will work...have you ever heard of an rpg coming back to life after that long? Part of it was my fault...i was gone the majority of the summer...I"m sorry... haha

Well, lets try to bring it back, but I suggest we discuss how to start up again, and we need to figure out more of the plot, yes?

yes that would be wise
