Who: Scott McCall and you!
What: An open nightmare log
When: Now and going on throughout the rest of today and tomorrow
Where: Scott's... mind zone?
Rating: I'll give this a hard R for gore.

[ It's nice, the woods are thick, misty and dark. The moon that's in the sky is barely moer than a tiny sliver, though if it's waning or waxing is hard to tell. Scott's breathing ragged and heavy as he hangs from the trees by ropes binding his hands. He was struggling earlier when he first found himself several feet off the ground with his arms strung up uncomfortably above his head, but a quick jolt of electricity throughout his body put a quick end to that little attempt at breaking free. It's not like it's the first time someone has zapped him with a taser, but the experience doesn't get easier with time.

In fact, considering the old man with the unpleasant smirk on his face is the one holding the taser, Scott actually feels a lot worse about this entire situation. There's a broad sword sitting on a large rock nearby. It's precariously balanced at the moment, but it doesn't look like it's about to tip off. It's way too far away for Scott to reach, even if he had it in him to swing out and try to get it at the moment. Unfortunate, considering Scott knows exactly what that sword is going to be used for soon enough. He'd really rather be able to kick it nice and far away.

The old man walks back and forth between Scott and anyone else who might be strung up next to him, eying them carefully, coldly... He doesn't exactly look like he's thinking of letting anyone free any time soon. ]

Gerard....

[ The old man smirks wider and starts to make his way over to where the sword is laying on the rock. ]

Mr. McCall. Not very wise of you and your friend to be wandering out here alone.

((OOC. The NPC, Gerard, will be writing in red for this log. If you want Gerard to be able to pick at the failures or insecurities of your character just PM or IM me to let me know what sort of things he should say to them/insecurities he should pick at.))

[Stuart groans, coming to, feeling a tremendous throbbing pain in his head... And his arms. They feel like they're being stretched, and very uncomfortably at that.

His eyes are still closed, but he can tell he's outside. He opens them, looking up and spotting his arms tied to a branch and down to find himself dangling over the ground.]

What the fuck?!

[wolfiehood]

[ Scott's attention snaps away from Gerard for a moment and to the guy hanging next to him. He's not sure who this man is, but if he had to guess he'd say another werewolf. Why else would Gerard be doing this if he wasn't? There were two of them though, and even if they weren't in a pack, he hoped it meant they could break out and overpower the old man.

Especially considering Gerard had decided to come after them on his own. Not that Scott really thought anyone would even want to team up with Gerard after everything he'd done.

He tried to ignore the old man giving them a critical look, and just keep him in his peripheral vision to see if he went for the sword, while getting the man's attention. ]

Hey! Are you okay?

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

[Oh, great. Just what he needs. Another person tied up next to him. Couldn't have been too much to ask for someone to help, could it?]

Do I bloody look okay?! I'm tied to a tree and it feels like my arms are about to pop out of their sockets!

[wolfiehood]

[ Well he's at least still got energy left in him. That's a good sign, right? As long as Gerard didn't hit him with his taser too then he should be able to help Scott get out of this mess and the two of them could run for it. Maybe find Allison's dad? He seemed like he was willing to help the wolves to an extent, and he'd probably be more help against Gerard than anyone else. ]

So... that's a no then?

[ Gerard sighs and walks towards Stuart, looking less than impressed. ]

No, Scott. I think it's quite safe to say he's not okay. Soon neither of you will be.

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

What the fuck does that mean?!

[Excuse him. Mini freak-out over here.]

Listen, mate. I'm sure you can find a much better person to torture than me. I'm no-one. Just an EMT.

[wolfiehood]

[ Scott's focus is back on Gerard now. It's not like he wasn't aware that Gerard's plan here was to kill them both, but if he's pulling out the threats already they might not have much time left. ]

Oh, Stuart, I'm sure you can think of a few reasons why someone might want to torture you. But this? This isn't about torture.

[ The smile vanishes from his face, and his words are harsh and biting. ]

This is retribution.

[ Scott looks confused by that. What did this guy even do to upset Gerard that much? Well, admittedly, nothing... and it's not like Scott believes for a minute that the people Gerard wants to kill actually deserve the death the get.

But considering he doesn't even seem to know Gerard, that's sitting even worse than Scott than... well than Gerard's murder attempts normally would. ]

Look, he has no idea what's going on here. He doesn't have anything to do with this! Just let him go!

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

Yeah, listen to the kid. I have no idea what kind of retribution you're going on about. I've never bloody met you!

[Trying to keep his voice calm, but there are hints of terror creeping in here. I mean, who wouldn't be scared when you wake up tied to a tree with some nut-job saying he wants retribution.

[ino]

[MOTHEREFFER IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING. she doesn't seem to be struggling to get free at all, though -- she's just glaring at this douchebag with the sword. oh, man, she is SO gonna break these ropes and beat you up, buddy ...]

[wolfiehood]

[ It sure is, Ino, and while Gerard is pacing back and forth with his taser in hand he's looking at her face and how calm and still she's being right now.

Scott, meanwhile, seems to be looking around wildly, and looking slightly baffled. He'd just... he'd died. Gerard had cut him through with a sword. This girl hadn't been there, it had been a man. An EMT? He's positive that it had been a guy hanging next to him, and he's almost certain Gerard had sliced him in half.

He tries to wiggle and it doesn't do him any good at all, the ropes are tight. ]

What's going on?

[ Gerard doesn't look away from Ino, and doesn't reply. ]

[ino]

[Ino just sounds exasperated and irritated]

What do you mean, what's going on? Isn't it obvious? This creep has some sort of perverted plan for the both of us!

[wolfiehood]

[ He looks even more baffled by that. ]

What? No. He killed me.

[ He looks down at his stomach and... yep, it's intact. His legs are still there. He even kicks them experimentally. ]

He just killed me. This all just happened, only you weren't here.

[ Gerard looks away from Ino now, cocking his head to the side as Scott rambles on. ]

[ino]

[... yeah, she's staring at scott, now]

Huh?

[wolfiehood]

[ This sure does seem like a confusing story, but the more Scott thinks about it, the more he's sure it's happened before. Did his powers bring him back? He thought he wouldn't be recovering from a wound like that. That was the whole point of killing werewolves that way, right? ]

Gerard killed me before now! He sliced me in half while I was hanging here. There was another guy where you were. An EMT.

[ He's looking around wildly to see if he can spot the body of the other man, but he doesn't see anything. ]

Now that's quite the story. It sounds almost prophetic, doesn't it?

[ Gerard smiles widely at them both. ]

[squirrelhunter]

You motherfucker!!!

[Guess who doesn't appreciate being tied up? That's right. This guy. He's struggling, flailing, kicking. Anything he can do to try and escape.]

[wolfiehood]

[ Scott meanwhile is going through this for the third time, and if he was baffled before? He's really baffled now. He's not even struggling this time, just staring at this new guy who's fighting for get free next to him as Gerard moves forward, taser in hand looking like he's about to use it. ]

What the hell?!

[squirrelhunter]

[This is one irate redneck. He continues to thrash all the more when Gerard comes at him with the taser.]

No you fuckin' don't! Y'ain't comin' nowhere near me with that thing.

Hey! Ya touch me with that, an' y'all be eatin' it. Got it?!

[wolfiehood]

[ Scott's still trying to recover enough to respond to what's going on. Gerard doesn't seem to be having the same problem though, and is aiming that taser at Daryl and firing. Here's to hoping he can wiggle enough to avoid it. Gerard is at least far enough away that it could be possible if he really gets moving.

Either way Scott is now tugging against his restraints and calling out. ]

Hey!!

[squirrelhunter]

[Luckily, Daryl is feeling quite mobile, managing to swing just out of the way.]

Hey! Th'fuck did I just say?! Let me th'fuck down!

[And he's just going to start kicking at Gerard.]

[wolfiehood]

[ Gerard moves a step back, looking completely unfazed by the kicking, but a little disappointed the man dodged the taser. He sighs and checks it before pulling back in the wires. ]

Should have gone with the cattle prod.

[ Scott's looking back and forth between this new man and Gerard. ]

Why are you even doing this?

[ Gerard looks at him, smirks, and continues to ignore both of the two in the trees. ]

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss's eyes snapped open when the man spoke, and she felt ... she wasn't sure if it was just consciousness or awareness that eeked through her. Either way, the old man before her got One Evil Glare, before Katniss looked up at the snare she was in. Arms bound above her head, dangling from the ground. Effective.]

[Then over to the boy next to her, grey eyes sharp.] Don't answer him. That's what he wants.

[She knew about old men, and trying to play for weaknesses. She pulled on the rope instead, trying to get the old man to focus on her.]

[wolfiehood]

[ Scott jerks his head around, another girl. Was that some sort of pattern, useless guy, then a teenage girl that seemed to have a lot more of an idea of what she was doing here? Either way, the assassin wasn't able to help him get out, and he didn't have much hope this girl was going to either.

Not that it meant he was giving up on trying to escape. This wasn't exactly how he wanted to spend the rest of his existence. Sliced in half over and over again by Gerard. ]

What he wants is to kill us both.

[ Gerard grins a little and looks over at Katniss. ]

Scott's right, Ms. Everdeen. I'm more than happy to kill you now if you're not interested in a chat.

[the_effect_she_has]

[She felt her lips curve into a grim smirk at the old man.]

Get in line.

[She shifted, stretching her bonds, testing her arms.]

However, since I don't know you -- and I don't know Scott - kind of lost why a complete stranger wants to kill me.

[wolfiehood]

That's what I want to know too...

[ For all he's been egging on the people he's been dragging here, he hasn't said anything to indicate any of them did anything to him in order for him to feel he needs to kill them. The first man apparently was a shitty friend? The girl wasn't in time to save her teacher's life? The guy after that had some sort of weird family thing going on?

That didn't exactly spell out good motivation as far as Scott is aware. Unless Gerard's flipped his lid and just enjoys the killing. Which honestly? Scott could believe. Especially considering that grin stretched over his face as he turns to look at Scott. ]

Almost a shame I have to kill this one, isn't it?

[ He raises his voice now as if he's speaking for an audience. ]

Unfortunately she's done more than enough in her life to warrant being killed. Letting a little girl die?

[ He makes a tsking sound. ]

Absolutely unforgivable.

[the_effect_she_has]

[At that, Katniss stills completely, before she looks at Gerard with absolute hate in her eyes.]

What do you know about that? You don't know anything.

[Her grey eyes flash, as she grabs ahold of the rope, and starts to pull herself up. Slowly.]

When I get out of this, I'm going to beat that condescending smirk into your face.

[wolfiehood]

[ That definitely gets Scott's attention. So far whatever Gerard's said to the others here has seemed to have some truth behind it, considering how the people are reacting. He doesn't want to take it at face value, because it's Gerard saying it. ]

I wouldn't do that, Katniss.

[ He holds up his taser, and frowns. ]

I can promise you it won't end well.
