What the FUCK?

Dodge!

You can get his side of the story if you want. When in doubt, don't believe either party in an argument.

You can also ask Sam about how much to trust him if our truthfulness is in question. You also outta give her a hug and keep an eye on here, make sure she doesn't do anything rash. She's not doin so hot

Yes, yes, big floating cat ghost, and clamoring voices. You'll get used to it.

I throw my body forwards into an awkward crouch to duck, as the voice tells me. Seconds pass by and nothing happens.

...I feel like someone forgot that I can't exactly throw things or physically hurt people?

Jesus Christ, it talked!

I am not an it. I am a self-aware brain tumor living inside your friends head, slowly taking over and gaining the power to be seen by alien brains as well. The other voices are much smaller tumors, but also self-aware.

>>482930
Actually, as a tumor, it's not like you have a gender. "It" would be an acceptable pronoun.

It forgot to mention it's a jerk, by the way. The rest of us, not so much.

Well, I don't think we're tumors, but if we are, we're good. Try and ignore big bad over there and go check up on Sam, see if she's okay

>>482932
If you are crazy, you're not the only one. Jazz and Sam both know him and us. Go check on Sam, she seemed pretty shaken up last we saw her.

Axel, where have all the good men gone?

I think you guys broke him.

You did most of it. You seriously need to stop being so straightforward.

You Ok man? Sam needs help, and you're the only one free right now.

...Oh? Jasmine, you can see me right now?

>"Yeah...Uhm, I'm really sorry for acting out of order earlier...Forgive me?"

..Hehehehe...Of course, my dear.

>>482954
I said to stop being so direct with Sam, but you fixed it a bit with Jazz then you screwed up by terrifying her, so whatever.

Hey Jasmine, how are you doing now if you can hear me?

No need to apologize deary, because you know what? I think that might be Daddy, in a disguise. Did you see how he yelled and got upset? I would stay away from him if I were you

Do not lie with the child! I am nothing like the swine that her daddy was!

>"..D-daddy? Mister Meows wouldn't lie to me like that, would he..?"

Of course not.

But still, I wouldn't trust him, he's scary and mean, and he hurt Sam. That's why she's sick, and sleeping so much. Maybe you should go see her? You can ask her about Mr. Meows and see if she's getting better yet! I'm sure she'd love to see you

>>482963
He might be lying about some things, but probably not about that. So Jasmine, did your favorite dress get ruined or only stained? You know, when he got mad and scared you?

>>482963
Well that's true. You advocated simply killing her over abusing her.

It's a step up, but you're no saint.

Just a little while ago he was shouting about how he would "leave you alone with your own mind", yet here he is trying to boss you around again. Not a very trustworthy sort if you ask me.

I am sleep but don't get too far without me, I need to feel the same amount of heart wrenching despair and anxiety as everyone else

"..Y-yeah."

Well! Looks like the whole crew is here. I can't tell you why I'm appearing to everyone anymore than you can tell me, but I do know that I did not will it.

>"M-Mazarin, is that you talking too?"

>>482971
Yep it's me princess; can I still be your adviser? And if I'm right, everyone else can hear us too. Hello! This is very complicated.

Yup, looks like we're all one happy talking voices and floating ghost-tumor-cat family.

Wouldn't be so bad if Mal wasn't intent on kicking Sam out of her own brain. You sure you wouldn't just be up for a more laid back, cooperative existence? It ain't so bad, being a headvoice. This usurpation stuff just ain't necessary.

Mal leaves. I enter the room to the others. Jasmine is crying, and Axel looks like he might be close to.

"...I'm so sorry." I whisper to the others. Axel shakes his head in forgivness, but doesn't say anything.

Knowing that monster...And even the rest of you...Are practically living inside my brain makes me feel so sick. I don't know how I could possibly sleep anymore like this.

How I could keep on living. I'm...A danger. A monster.

Hey, don't think like that! These two would be dead or worse if not for you. You're not a danger- you help people.

You're a pretty cool person. And you're host to a group of pretty cool people! ...and one jerk. Not so bad, all in all.

And there's gotta be something we can do about this. A cure, or a treatment. There's lots of things we could try! Suicide is a last resort. We've got lots of things to try first. Your life isn't worth giving up so easy.

>>482984
((I spent 7 minutes writing a statement to him, with what I thought was a good zinger at the end. Then he just left. I'll save it for later and may try to use some of it next time we see him.))

Just know that I did my best to treat him as an equal, but he always lost his temper when he didn't get his way.

You keep on living the same as you did before Sam; one day at a time. Right now, we're not sure that you dieing would even end this. You also have someone to care for, and someone that (most likely) cares for you. Don't give up fighting until the war is lost for sure. We'll find some way to fix this, it's what we always do.

So Sam, you seem to have at least one tumor with supernatural abilities. Have you considered that you might also have some sort of powers?

And don't worry about being a danger to the rest of us. Mal seems mouthy enough to give the rest of us (well, the rest of them) plenty of warning if he starts getting powerful enough to physically cause trouble.

But...I don't want to suicide because things are getting worse. That means someone has been put in fatal danger-I won't be killing myself to save others. I'll be killing myself because I failed to save someone that I dearly love.

I can't live, nor be in the afterlife, looking back at that hindsight. It'll have been a cowards death.

I don't consider myself a coward. I am strong.

Which is why I am leaving, and taking him with me. Which means you're all coming along.

[CHAPTER END]

Oh Thank God! I was worried there for a minute!

haha! no worries yet, bud
no ones gonna die for awhile now
but wow thank you for sticking along with the story ;u; it's very flattering

It turned out pretty good, I'm glad I was able to see it. The end silhouette was really cool. My only question is; would it have been possible to do as be7 said and gotten Mal to stop growing in favor of becoming a normal adviser?

>>483016

As much as I would love an easy solution as that, it'd be extremely out of character for Mal to do. As he grows, he becomes more and more malicious and power hungry. He's been insulted and embarrassed, so to give up would mean admitting everyone was right, and that he is wrong and indeed very weak.

From this point on, any time that he talks to Sam will be to try and break her. He's desperate and scared and the other 'voices' will actually repel him-and for the record, they can do so-so it is in his most interest, though certainly not best, to keep fighting back for control of Samantha.

How it all plays out is up to the commands: Anything demoralizing her will weaken her will to fight, but positive feedback will weaken Mal instead.

No point in the plot reveals this, so I might as well say so myself, that Mal is actually the ~~~zombie tumor~~~ that others were deducing earlier. His reason past control and bloodlust is nonexistent; he can't go long without a burst of violence.

It's like taking a zombie and giving them a chance to have an able, fast, strong body, with a down payment of actual intelligence and though not perfect, sense of self preservation. He wants this body so that he can crush others and prove his strength; He is fuckin' BAD, and no one can tell him otherwise, else their body will be laying dismembered and palpated on the doorstep of the foolish.

>>483019
He took me trying to treat him as an equal as a bad thing correct? Does he think he is better than the other voices? (I never thought of him as weak or evil, simply as being very misguided. Apparently I was wrong)

>>483020

Yeah, that really pissed him off. He wouldn't have blown up at Jasmine if she didn't call you guys 'equal', actually.

But yeah. He's nothing but evil, not even a little ounce of of tumor cells holding good.

Wikified, for great justice.

http://tgchan.org/wiki/ZombieQuest

>>483019
Pity, really. His position is understandable- he's a new consciousness trapped within another. Being immature, or lashing out in anger or for control, is understandable, even the logical responce. But we rather poorly handled any diplomacy with him, and he completely ignored suggestions to try and be anything but the big bad usurper.

Could probably merit a dis thread too, at this point.

>>483023

I literally shed a single tear in the honor of being wikified.

But ahhh I feel like only the great quests that everyone knows about gets a dis thread ;u; I mean I could make one but I'd be too embarrassed to ever gaze upon the thread again goodness gracious
