Enzo Fortress

Pitch laughed, shaking his head.

"No, no. Even I find it difficult to navigate, as there are no shadows to travel through. No, have you not heard?"

"About what?" I turn to this dark figure absolutely curiously.

A raise of a brow, and interested and pleased look spread through Pitch's face.

The man's grin was twisted and held malicious interest.

"That you are to be the ruler here, of course..!"

I burst into laughter, "No seriously..."

"Do I look like one who would lie to you?"

Pitch motioned to his face, raising a brow.

A quick moment of thought, he corrected himself.
"Actually, don't answer that. Do I look like someone who would lie to you about this?"

gtg bye!

(( bye~ ))

"Well I don't know, I mean... I ain't fit for leadership."

"Well you better believe it."

Pitch's tone had turned serious, his golden eyes dark with thought.
"And you know, everyone admires a leader. It doesn't take certain qualities to become on; just the right blood."

"But I can hardly handle myself let alone anyone else..."

"Oh, of course you cannot. Not now, at least."

The man's voice grew sympathetic, faking kindness.
"But you will learn. I can teach you..."

"I got a sneakin' feelin' my grandfather who went through so much trouble to get me here will settle short of me being taught by any but him."

"Besides, I can't stay here."

The Nightmare King wrinkled his nose and waved in dismissal.

"I never said I'd teach you with your powers! Oh, but I'm oh too familiar with ruling. Your grandfather? Now that is an area he has never known.."

Pitch raised a brow, opening his arms slightly, as if to hold out a bargain.
"And if you learn under me? You do not have to stay here too often. That's why you've got those silly wingmen, anyway.."

"That's probably the top thing I can't stand about this place. I'm no higher than anyone nor is anyone else higher than anyone..."

"And you think you're lower than everyone else? And every one you cared about as friends seems to think the same? You'll just live with that?"

Pitch scowled, crossing his arms.

"... say, then. Tell your grandfather you will rule, and I'll take this... responsibility off your hands; when the time comes."

That offered seemed good...

Really good actually. I had no desire to rule over people who took me for higher than I was. People, who at the command of a man claiming to be a god, performed atrocious acts.

"What do you get out of this?"

"What do I get out of it...?"
Pitch echoed the question thoughtfully before smiling.

"Does it really matter, boy?"

"Well yeah, I mean sure Enzo did some pretty bad things in the past but I couldn't just abandon everyone like this..."

"Abandon..?"

Pitch looked surprised, raising a brow.
"You will not be abandoning them, Christopher. In fact, by leaving them with me, you'll be doing them a favour. I know how to take care of people, Topher... I've done it before, and I can do so even now. They'll be safer, stronger, and more welcomed.. under my wing."

"Let me just hear what Enzo has to say to justify himself first.."

A look of frustration crawled across Pitch's face, and he stepped back, and away from Topher.

"Very well. I doubt you will find much justice in what he wants, though.."

A frown, the dark man turned his back on Topher, obviously irked that the boy didn't give in right away.

I walk to Topher's room, ready to discuss everything with him.

(( Ah, who would you like me to play. Pitch, still? Just lurking. so he can plant seeds of doubt because he's a bitch? Or. ))

By all means! I'm just trying to come up with the best possible course of action that can create the events I'd like to see. Actually can we pm for a few mins? I'd love your input.

(( of course! Send me what you wish. c: ))
