He's Not Allowed Here -- Chapter 6:

Instructions

Iskall grins. "This is a great idea." This is not a great idea, but Scar gives the swede a thumbs up anyway. "Ready?" He calls up to Iskall, who is currently thirty feet in the air. The two decided that, to get used to their powers, they'd play a little game. A game where Scar tries to fling Iskall into rocks, and Iskall tells Scar which direction to go to avoid them-- blindfolded, of course. This is going to end very badly. "Ready," is Scar's response. And in three... two... Scar flicks his finger forward, sending Iskall hurling at a rather large rock. Seconds later... "RIGHT!" Scar points right, just in time for his friend to not discover kinetic energy. "LEFT!" Huh, that echolocation really does work. They continue for a long time, until Iskall eventually meets his end due to Scar's own poor reflexes. After collecting all of Iskall's stuff, Scar makes his way to Iskall's base. "Hey," he calls into the giant tree. "Iskall, I've got your stuff, where are you?" Iskall doesn't respond. He DID respawn at his base, right?Iskall neglected to respond to his comm-pad when Scar messaged him as well. He wanders around, poking into all of the different sections. It's silent. Eerily silent. "Iskall, are you here," he called out again. Scar continues to investigate until he approaches a room. Heavy breathing-- hyperventilating?!-- is coming out of it. Scar ran up to the doorway of the room. What? "Iskall-? Iskall looks up from the ball he has curled himself into. In one of his hands, he clutches the green bandana he had around his head before, but that's not what Scar's focusing on. The aqua crystal in his eye has a giant crack in it, and his other eye... is gone. Completely. Scar gasps reflexively and covers his mouth. "Scar... I can't see. I CAN'T SEE, SCAR!" Iskall stands up from his bed with surprising balance. "Th-the echolocation... Scar, I can't... Wh-what happened to me?" His voice tears through the air like a jagged knife, pained and panicky. He stands up and grasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss I̷͚̗͈͆͊̏ͅ ̷͒͜M̶̟̖͊̈Ę̵̳̺̐͂͗͝S̴̛̬̩͖̀͠S̸̨̗̦̩͂͝E̴̱̟͗D̵͉͓͍̓̑̎ͅ ̸̣̋̿͠͝Ű̶̙͎̞̄͋̓P̸̭͓͇̬͝.̶̤͛̀̓̍ͅ ̸̲̀̅̈́͋ ̵̹̉̊͋͆I̵̫̔͝ ̷̼̙͍̈́̍̈́M̵̤̪̮̣̊E̵̢̡̞̊̂͝S̸̢͖̭̒̈́̇S̸̰̖̒͐̉E̵̝̫͂D̸̰̼̤͘ ̷̗̒̋͌̇͜U̸̡̗̅͗̎P̴͈̬̦̼̔̽ ̵̠̂Í̸̜̫̳̈́ ̸͍̎̃̋̌M̸̡̹̘͕̓̇̆Ȩ̴͖̥͔̿̉͠S̶̗̪̉̌̚S̶͈̐E̸͉̠̗͒̊͒͝Ḑ̶̧̆̐̕ ̵̲̟̺̐̏̇Ȗ̶̦̥͍͝P̴̝̼͓̭̓͗̈ ̴̛̮̐I̴̘͚̐ ̶̣̻̪̀͑͑M̷͔͛Ê̸͍̦̼̿̎S̶̮͙̙̦̏̋͒̚S̴̯̥̙͐̔̕̚E̴̛̯̓̒͝D̵̡͙̘̞́͑̾ ̷̰͂̇̆͠Ụ̴͖͊P̶͈͎̗͛͛̇.̶̞̞̻͒͗̇͝ ̵̥͚͆̌̅̕ͅ ̸͉͔̼̹̐W̴̡͍̼̬̉H̵̻̻̰̑̉̍Ȧ̴̭̮͂͑T̶̢͗̈́ ̸͙̭̈͠D̶̡̓̏͠O̷̝̭̒͛̓ ̸͚̟͊I̴̢̠͓͓̾͊̔̏ ̶͕̬͔̥̏̊D̷̫͕̗̒Ö̴̻̯̺̦́̿͝.̶̠̏̉̇ ̴̤̜̦̬̃͂̾ ̴̢̯͖̈͂̏̌Í̷̤̩̣̻͋̔̕ ̸̧͎̞̻̀̈́̈́D̸̮͔̭͉̓̂͊Ǒ̶̩̪̪̃Ṋ̸̦̖̃̐̽̓'̷̧͍̭̉̌̚ͅT̶̝̃ ̸̛̗̅K̷̲̦̼̪̆̆̿̂Ņ̷͌ͅͅO̷̜̤̓͂̓̚W̵͔̒̑ ̶̣̥̭̃̇W̵̡̖̖̠͆͝H̷̬̒̄̍͠A̸̙͈͋̍͋̊Ṱ̷̢̗͉͑́͗͛ ̷̧̂̋͠H̵̳̉̉͌̐A̸̳̝̐̏̀̽P̵͚̿͐P̸̤͖͐Ē̸͔̄͘N̸̬̑͝Ę̶̡̲̟̓͛̚Ḑ̶̓̓͆̆!̸͖͚̹̆̿̂̚ ̸̹̓̅̿̕͜I̵̫̞̺̳͒̐̆ ̴̗̝̬̮̔̃̎̃Ḑ̵̇͗Ỉ̶͕̪Ḏ̵͓̌Ñ̴̡͓̭̔̃'̷̻̊̂͝T̴̰͌̈́̄̅ ̵̡̳̟͐̆D̵̘̻̮̓̈́O̴̡̧͓͚̊̌̾͘ ̷̬̯͒́̽T̴̳̱̩̈́H̸̻͉̒Î̵̢̔̒͠S̸̢̬̈͗̊!̴̂̔̈̈́ͅ ̷̗̻̘̃ ̷̛̩̠̙̙̀Ỳ̸̫̃͋͒O̸̳̩̩͛Ú̷̫̰͇̎̓́ ̴̬̆͝H̴̩̹͎̽Ȃ̷̢͖̙̅V̶̧̛̱̼̩̈Ē̷̈́͛͐͜ ̸̘̇T̵̟̤̄͜Ọ̸̭̤̆͐ ̷̲͎͐B̸͕̱̣̿̎̓͋E̷̼͗͑͜L̵̖̤͑Í̶͕͖̎͊͜Ẹ̴͛̒͠V̴̡̱̻̜͊Ẹ̶͖̀̈̀ ̸̛͚͇̃̎M̴̢̛̦̭̿E̴̲͋͐̿͝.̶̖̈́̍̌̂ ̶̰̾ ̴͚͚̑͊Ỳ̷̦Ṍ̴͇̒͐Ũ̵͍͘͝ ̵̣́S̴͙̈́͘͠A̴̢͎̱͓̿̄̔̋Ì̴̢̳̲̾̍͑Ḍ̷̹̅ ̷͍̪͈̉̈́͌͘I̴̩͋͆'̸̢̤̬̂̋̉̿M̴̟̞̀̓̾ ̴̢̞̱̟́̿̚N̷̥̏Ó̸͎̝T̴̜̏ ̷͇̤͓̩̿́̈́̐S̵̲̯̓͝C̷̼͗̀̇Ā̸̠̲̬͒Ṙ̸̠̰͖̞Y̶̧̱͑ ̸̻͇͗R̵̯̎̇͝Ĩ̸̡̘͍̜G̵̤̟̽͝H̵̛̘̪͒̐̇͜T̶̮̻̫͕̄̕͠?̴̮̱̙͗̒͠͝ ̴̡̺̺̱͛P̵̡͇̦̥̋̿͝L̴̺̜̬̿̓͒E̸̱̐̈́Ȁ̴͈̙͇̚͝͝S̵̳͉̱̪̚E̴̟̿̕ ̷̧̧̨̱̍B̷͕̂É̴͕͚̻̝̚͝L̷͕̂I̴̙̥͇̞̍͊̈Ȅ̷̮͊͂V̸͖̋̈́̚E̴̘̅́̈́ ̷̛͍̟͎͊̆͜M̷̗̏Ẻ̵̹̎͗͊.̶̮͂͛ ̴̼͝P̴͕̻̻̋́̅͑L̴̢͉̊͗̓Ẻ̶̜̻̣̱́̄͑A̴̪͌S̷̪͑̔̂͠E̵̫̤͊̑̚ ̸̣͔̜͉̇̌C̷̩͔̞̟̈͝Å̸̤̂̓R̷̬̲̉̒E̴̢̥̖̲͛.̴̹͊͆͆͝ ̸̹͆̎̓̀ ̶̧͔̖͂ ̸͉̲̱̂T̴̥͂͗̀̆E̴̩̐̀̓Ḻ̴̊̈́̕L̸̪̩̘͍͌ ̵͙̪̩̍̉͒̾M̶̭̽͌̄̍Ê̷̱̮̖̾ͅ ̵̢̺̫͉͋̄̿Ẃ̶̟̦H̴̭̞̋͜͜A̸͉̣̫͋͊́̀T̶͚͚͛́́ ̸̡̤̫̲̓T̸̞̲̄O̴̮̤̲̔̍ ̴̛̦͚͈̝͊͗D̵̡͉͕̘́O̸͈̗̩͋̃.̸̓ͅ Scar didn't speak. He can't. Could Xisuma have been right? Was using their powers the cause of this? How could they have known? "D-did you- Did you try-" "Dying again?" Iskall finishes, laughing mirthlessly. "Yes. Several times!" He begins to pace, shaking. "I tried everything-- EVERYTHING. I tried potions, dying, I- I tried-" Iskall sits back down on the bed and clutches his knees. "It was just a game. I didn't want this to happen." Oh sweet blazes in the Nether. "We need to get X. He'll know what to do." Probably. Hopefully. Scar turns to leave, then pauses. Oh, right. "Uh, can you-?" "...Yeah," Iskall begrudgingly replies, nodding. "I can make my way over." Iskall sounds oddly confident, considering that he's blind. --- Xisuma hears a knock on his door. Ah, that's probably Scar and Iskall. This will be less than enjoyable. When he opens the door, two people stand there, but they aren't the two he was expecting. "...Hi?" "Hey, X. We'd like to register a new power," explained Grian. X opens his mouth to invite them in, but then a thought sweeps through the admin. No. No, no, no. That couldn't happen. No. N̶̨̠̼͍͌́̈́͒̀̎o̷̱̦̦͌.̸̡͙̫̈́͑͐͊̀͝ --- Xisuma hears a knock on his door. Ah, that's probably Scar and Iskall. This will be less than enjoyable. When he opens the door, no-one is there.
