FPE Impetus AU: Grading

Zip: What's 4 + 7? Chip: 11. Zip: Correct. 20 + 8? Chip: 28. Zip: Good. 8 X 3? Chip: ... 12. Zip: no. Multiplication, remember? Chip: ... 23. Zip: No, but that's not far off. *Oliver/K and ∆lice appear, causing Zip to look behind her. * Zip: ohhh. Hi Oliver/K. Hi ∆lice. Oliver/K: Hi. Zip: Why are you here? I was kind of trying to teach Chip about math. Oliver/K: I was hoping we could just hang out and let ∆lice get to know you and Edward. Y'know, friend of a friend. Zip: I don't think people say that. But I guess we could. What do you have in mind? Oliver/K: I was thinking of icebreakers. Zip: Cool, I - *A man with wings opens the door, seeing the entire group in the room. * ???: Wh- Zip: uh, I, I can explain dad. I ... I invited my friends from school to ... uh ... help Chip get better at math. I told you about Oliver/K. Remember? ???: ... I ... Just make sure you tell me next time. *Zip's dad leaves. * Zip: *Phew* Anyway, do you think Chip could join in too? Oliver/K: I don't think he could answer some of these questions. Zip: Just make more for him. Oliver/K: Alright then. *Oliver/K starts to write down new notecards for the group. * *Chip walks up to ∆lice. * Chip: How did you get into the room? ∆lice: ... I can travel anywhere I want. Its too complicated for a simpleton like you to understand. Chip: Anywhere? ∆lice: You're stupider than I thought, I ju- Chip: Can you go to Lilly's house then? ∆lice: I don't know who that is. Even if I did, I wouldn't take requests from some ... fish-brained imbecile. Chip: The fish isn't apart of my br- ∆lice: Stop talking. You - Oliver/K: Actually, that'd be a good idea. ∆lice: Are you kidding me? Why- Oliver/K: I'll buy you more rabbits if you do. ∆lice: ... Oliver/K: and centipedes too. ∆lice: *sighs* fine. *After showing ∆lice the location, a red light envelopes the room. ∆lice isn't there. * *Lilly sits in the corner of her room. She's trying to clean the blood dripping from her shoulder. Once her dad found out that Miss Sasha wasn't able to fulfil her part of the deal, things have only gotten worse. * *A figure in a blue dress stands in the center of the room. * Lilly: *Screams* *∆lice transforms into her true form, using her hands to completely enclose Lilly, muffling her screams. * *∆lice returns to Zip's room, still covering Lilly's mouth. The sight of Zip only makes Lilly more afraid. * Chip: Lilly? *Lilly looks at Chip. * Chip: You don't have to scream. You're safe here. *Lilly can't stop herself. ∆lice, tired of this, makes Lilly look directly at her. * ∆lice: If you don't stop, I will personally k*ll every other person in your class and then you. *Lilly forces herself to stop screaming, allowing ∆lice to drop her. Tears still run down Lilly's face. * Oliver/K: We're just going to play icebreakers. You know how to play that Lilly? *Lilly shakes her head. * Oliver/K: Just ask the questions I wrote on the card. Then, everyone else, except me, answers that question. Who wants to start? Chip: I want to start *Oliver/K hands over the cards to Chip. He makes sure to sit next to Lilly in a futile attempt to make sure she's not afraid. * Chip: *Card 1* "What's your least favorite food?" Zip: It has to be Berries. They're way to sweet. ∆lice: Vegetables. Lilly: um ... My least favorite is ... eggs ... I think. Chip: *Card 2* "When you're alone, what do you think about?" ∆lice: I'll skip this question. Zip: I think of different pranks I could do. Lilly: I ... Can I skip this one? ∆lice: No. Lilly: o - ok. I ... think of Miss Sasha. I miss her. Chip: *Card 3* "Pick the person you care about the most. What is one thing that makes you care about them?" Zip: I care about my brother since he, well, is my brother and all. Oliver/K: *Mimics buzzer noise * To vague. Zip: Its true though. Do you need a reason to care about your own family? Oliver/K: Y- yeah *∆lice looks at Oliver/K with a knowing look. She knows that isn't true. * Oliver/K: *ugggh* fine, I'll accept that answer. Lilly: I ... I guess I care about ... Miss Sa - Sasha. She is - was there when I felt bad. I ... - ∆lice: I obviously care about Oliver/K the most. There are so many things to pick, but if I had to only pick one. It's their Loyalty. Chip: *Card 4* "Is there someone you hate? Why do you hate them?" Lilly: I ... I don't hate anyone. Oliver/K: Really, we both know that those injuries are from your dad. You can say that you hate him Lilly: N- no. I don't hate him. I mean it. ... I know he hurts me, but, ... you're supposed to care about your parents ... no matter what. Zip: I HATE Lizzy. She's been pestering me about that prank I pulled on Lilly. I guess some people can't see genius. Chip: I hate MoeMoe. They slapped my arm away when I tried to pet them. Oliver/K: You're not supposed to answer the questions when you have the cards. Chip: sorry. ∆lice: A - Oliver/K: Agetha, I know. Do you think you could pick someone else? ∆lice: Claire. I'll skip giving the reason. Chip: *Card 5 * "What do you dislike about your favorite person?" Zip: I don't like how Chip doesn't listen sometimes. Lilly: ... I don't like how Miss Sasha called my dad. Oliver/K (Quietly): *heh* *heh ∆lice: I don't like how they ... No. I'll skip. Oliver/K: Why don't we let the newbie try? Lilly: um ... okay. *Card 1* "If you had to K*ll one person, who would you k*ll and why?" Zip: Petunia. It'd make Lizzy really mad. Chip: I don't ... I don't know. Oliver/K: It's purely hypothetical. Don't stress out about it. Chip: ... I'd k*ll Miss Thavel. She made Miss Sasha lost. That made Lilly sad. If she d*ed, then Lilly would be happy. Lilly: No, I wouldn't be happy. Zip: Please NEVER say that in school. Chip: Yes, Zip. ∆lice: Oliver/K. Zip: ... why? ∆lice: It's been a fantasy. A dream. I don't know why, but it would be exhilarating. And Oliver/K agrees, considering they had a similar dream. Lilly: ... Car - Card t - 2. "What career do you plan on perusing in the future if you absolutely had to pick one?" Zip: Sailor Chip: Sailor. ∆lice: Coroner. Easy access to b*dies to consume. Lilly: *Card 3 * It says: " This card must also be answered by the person holding the cards. This card has a different question for each person. "Zip's Question: What does it feel like to be able to fly?" "Chip's Question: What do you like about sailing?" "∆lice's Question: If someone you loved made you uncomfortable, would you tell them?" Zip: It feels awesome. Chip: I like how the water looks. ∆lice: Of course I would. Lilly: ... Oliver/K: No. Lilly: *Card 4 * "What are you afraid of?" Zip: Chip getting hurt. Chip: Not being able to go to the pool. ∆lice: Skip. Lilly: *Card 5 * "If you had to hang out with one person you usually wouldn't, who would you hang out with?" Zip: I would've hanged out with the angry person with the ears. He'd be perfect for pulling pranks. Chip: June. She's nice to Lilly. ∆lice: ... I ... This is just a different version of the "2nd favorite" question. I'd hang out with ... who's that cat person? Oliver/K: Skary. ∆lice: Yes. He would be perfect. He'd do anything I asked. A perfect servant. Oliver/K: Alright, I think that's all. We can go now. Chip: Can you take Lilly back home? Oliver/K: ... Sure. Chip: ∆lice, *∆lice looks at Chip with an annoyed expression. * Can you fix Lilly's shoulder. *Rather than appearing in Lilly's room, they appear outside of her house. * Lilly: Wait, I - *Black spikes grow from Lilly's shoulder, piercing her skin and bones. The ble*ding from the shoulder wound has stopped, but in its place, rock-like objects wrap around her arm like a mix of thorns and barbed wire. Her arm is covered in the material one moment, and then falls off the next, leaving thorns that imbed and then dig into her arm. They descend until hitting bone and the spots where the spikes once were are covered with the rock-like substance. * *∆lice's smiling. * *Lilly wants to scream so badly, but she knows how her father will react. * Lilly: no. no no no. **AHHHHH** *∆lice and Oliver/K disappear for the final time today. * *Lilly stands in front of the house. She ... she goes up to the door and knocks on it. * *...* *The door opens. * *Lilly flinches upon seeing her dad. She puts her hands in front of her face. * *George doesn't say anything. He just leaves the door open for her, locks it, and returns to his room as if she hadn't disappeared. * *Lilly returns to corner of her room. * *She backs up into the corner of her room and sits as still as she can, trying her best to stay silent. *
