"Oh yeah? And how exactly would you know that, genius? Did you not see what he just did earlier?! Massive dark tentacle monster erupting from the ground all over the city, ring a bell? Well that guy right there took it all into himself, and he's still the same guy. That much I'm sure of!"

"Have you seen me? I'm Taken. I've had my Light ripped out of me, to feed Oryx. I was pumped full of whatever he has control of, Darkness or some shit. Now I can't even get revenge on him. And you say I don't know what's happening?!"
-
Switch wearily sat up from the ground, exhausted from trying to remove the darkness from Lake. "It's not the same thing Erik. You were robbed of your will completely, turning you into a husk. And in return, Oryx gifted you with dark powers. For me, its different. Aries poisoned me with the darkness itself, from his own tainted body and mind. I can hear his sorrow inside my head. It's not even [u]his[/u] sorrow anymore, its mine. The only think that's been taken from me is nearly everything I care about"
-
"Don't lecture me about losing things you care about," Erik spat. "I've already lost enough loved ones to the Darkness. My father, my sister, even Serra..." He sat down against a wall.
-
J: "He's not saying that you haven't lost anything, dimwit..." S: "Jaden, don't. He has his reasons"
-
"I know. That wasn't what I was saying. What I'm [i]trying[/i] to say is get used to it. It doesn't feel any better next time. For what it's worth, you've got more control over your abilities than others have. You didn't blow is all to Hell, for starters."

-
"Oh, I've been kicked out. Five times, I think. Only verbal warnings since I can kill them faster than they can say 'Oops'."
-
S: "I would never do such a thing..." J: "Well then. We have our difference between you two. You almost sound like you enjoy being stripped of the light. Switch wants nothing more than to fight on its behalf" S: "You've murdered other guardians?..."
-
"In self defense, of course. And...on other occasions. Including...m-my sister...but that was against my will."
-
S: "It must feel like torture. Being the only taken who still has his own will, or at least enough to realise what he's become"
-
"The rest of the Taken are mindless slaves. They've failed Oryx. I won't. Not anytime soon." He took a shuddering breath.

Switch sighed. None of the conversations he was having were going anywhere. No one trusted him anymore, and it was too dangerous for him to stay in the city. He had demonstrated control, but people were too afraid and suspicious to accept him staying. Actions speak louder than words. He would have to show them that he wasn't a dark guardian, not really. All the last city had left for him now was denial and rejection. If he wanted to return things to normal, he'd have to find answers elsewhere, beyond the walls. Aries was still out there after all. He did this to Switch. He was going to pay. Severely. S: "Forget it... I'm leaving" J: "I am too" S: "No you're not, Jaden. I can't guarantee your safety around me, and I have no idea what being near to me does to someone in the long term" J: "yeah yeah, cut the crap space wizard. I can take care of myself" S: "This isn't something you can just protect yourself from by having good aim, Jaden" J: "I'm aware of that, but I'm certain that this sickness is in good hands. Your hands. If anyone can hit this thing in the ass hard enough to fly it back to whatever pit it crawled out of, its gonna be you. Besides, I don't think I can stand these thick assholes anymore" S: "what about Zaaria?" J: "She'll be on our side in this. Trust me on that. She loves is too much. Me more than you, but y'know, details..." S: "Heh. She's not that stupid" J: "She's a titan, so yeah she is" S: "Anyway, we should get going then, if you really wnat to do this" J: "I do, Switch. I do"
-
"You need protection. Someone who can teach you restraint."
-
S: "Go on... What do you mean by restraint?"
-
"If you get too angry, you'll most likely lose control. Your Darkness is determined by your emotional state. Get too angry or sad, it starts to take over."
-
S: "That's going to be a problem. I'm pretty pissed of at Aries right now and I don't think that's diminishing any time soon"
-
"Deal with it."

Edited by Moot: 12/14/2015 12:37:32 AMS: "then don't help me" J: "What's the point in offering help to him and then saying that straight after?"
-
"That's the only way to keep control. Build a bridge and get over it. Cope. Giving in to revenge will only let the Darkness consume you more."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/14/2015 12:54:45 AMS: "I'm only doing this partly for revenge. Killing Aries will also redeem Lake, James and Lakir, and everyone else who died today. I also think that's the only way to rid myself of this curse. He needs to die. Or at least..." Switch trailed off in deep thought.
-
"You'll be like Aries if you kill him. It just passes the role he has to you."
-
S: "In his eyes, he's already done that. But I don't have any other choice here if I want to be returned to normal. I can't live like this. I'm not even sure I count as living still"
-
"I'm not sure you can go back after being thoroughly corrupted like that."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/14/2015 2:26:26 AMS: "maybe not. I accept that I'm never going to be quite the same again. But I just know somehow that this can be reversed. Like I said earlier, what's happened to you and I respectively is quite different. I hold a piece of Aries inside of me; his physical dark embodiment of sorrow. I have some fragments of his hunger too, which I got from Lake. But I still have the light within me, it's just being suppressed right now. The point is, I need to return these fragment of Aries back to him if I want to lift this curse. And then, I'll kill him there to prevent this ever happening again"
-
"Wait, you can't feel it?"
