Day 8 - Fifth Dream: The Mythos of a Tormentor
The leopard people dated the origins of their species
back to the period known as the Golden age,
wherein many mythical creatures,
most now being extinct, existed.
Some ancient texts call this the age of the ‘men of renown.’
It was the time that the sons of the gods
were believed to dwell in and rule the earth.
- From Book I of the Feline Chronicles, author unknown.
As the dreaming continued, so did my tears and sorrows for yesteryears. On one hand, I regretted the things that happened that broke the flow of RP I thought was good. Yet, putting out the other hand, I considered that, looking at what I saw at that time when it was my present, it could not be so easily faulted what happened to break up stories when others around me also did things to create the stumbling blocks. I mean, if one is honest, and looks at the different events that happened, how could anyone possibly pin the problems of the whole on just one person? All who are a part of the whole have their part in making or breaking something in the whole. Yet, mathematics aside, and transgression of others as well, when it comes down to it in the end, no one's actions matter as much as your own. How you deal with what you personally do does make a difference in the end. And, in looking at this, pondering in my head all my faults, I realize that one rock song that I used to listen to while alive rings true:
All the times
That I’ve cried
All that’s wasted
It’s all inside
The faults are ours, they are inside us. They are the thorns that do not allow us to love as we would like to. To treat others as we would want them to treat us. Because we put up barriers. We make ourselves fortresses, or towers, or skyscrapers in a city, and try to maintain that rigid posture that we are unbendable, that we can face all storms and weathering that the world has to dish out on us.
Yet, another lesson of the era in which I lived was that even the tallest and the greatest of skyscrapers could fall.
You'd think we could have learned that lesson from back in the days of the tower of Babel, but we don't learn lessons too easily. Sometimes we don't want to. We just go about our lives and decide that the folly of the past was that they weren't as smart as us, didn't have the proper technologies, and thus, we of the future generations are far better and more advanced and so much more capable of handling what those in the past could not.
Even with my own perspective and respect for times and cultures past, I too failed to do better and found myself in a pride just as destructive as that of the general modern population. For I dwelled in the synthetic metaverse created by Another World, trying to recreate a past in a fictional character. Enjoying the mythologies of cultures times past, I took that and ran with the ideas in order make an age of my own creation.
I failed.
And now, in my own dark prison, I find myself reliving my failure. Thusly, another dream, and I am transported back once again to that era before my fourth felix. I am beginning to wonder if I will be stuck in that time, or maybe these dreams have some purpose I have yet to fully comprehend. Who knows? I don't. And I am the one here taking note of my pondering into... nothingness. A black slate of nothingness.
"Beast."
I blinked for a moment as I heard someone call out my first Kitten's name. It wasn't my voice. But it was of someone familiar. Eyes became focused. I saw that I was on a rooftop. There was my Kitten at the ledge. I kept my gaze firm on Beast. She didn't look back.
"What?"
"Don't do it."
I heard the familiar voice again speak, and I started to realize who it was. Ashur Kentoku, or Ash, as I called my old friend.
"You'll only hurt yourself. You need a waaay taller building than this one," Ash said lightly, trying to inject a bit of humor into an already very bad situation. "Come on. You still need to get back at me for tickling you so much earlier."
I gave a growly murr towards Beast. "What you talk about here Kitten is not courage. Here, let me show you something I rarely show anyone."
My Kitten turned slowly. She looked sad and angry. Her vision was past Ioh for a moment, "Ashur. You know I won't get revenge on you. You're not the enemy."
I took from behind my back a blade. "Do you see this Kitten? Do you know what it is?"
Beast shook her head slowly as if understanding the basic concept but not getting the meaning. "Somewhat. What is it?"
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : okay im going to let you do your thing Ioh, my roleplaying slant here is way different...I'll wait some.
I answered Beast, “It's called a Tanto. From my days training as a samurai in the Tendai clan. I had always kept this on me behind my back.”
Beast nodded as she viewed the blade. "And why?"
I replied, “It is for if I were ever captured by the enemy. We were told in no uncertain terms that, rather than face being captured, we were to die instead.”
Beast nodded again slightly. "Why show it to me then?"
"I kept it there as a reminder of the importance of strength to keep in battle. To remind myself that it was the fight that mattered, and not to accept defeat."
Beast looked back to the drop off. She started to cry again. But this time more in shame. "I'm... I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here. I... I can't do it." She took a slight step forward.
I looked to the blade, speaking while guiding it across my gut. "You see, if I were to be captured, I would have to perform Hari Kari. As was the tradition. I would take this blade and force it into my gut, ripping out my insides in a rather painful death." I looked to my Kitten. "So you don't want to go through with it now?"
She started to cry more. "I can't. I can't do it. I'm not ready. It's not my time."
"Good, because I haven't fought my last battle yet either Kitten."
Beast moved closer to me, continuing to cry in shame and in pain. "Why did I almost do it?"
Ashur looked at Beast with eyes also full of pain and anger. "I know how you feel Beast. What the Matron did was utterly wrong. And I told her so." Her use of the word 'Matron' instead of the name 'Rith' was evident.
Beast nodded, still crying. She held her hand out as it bled freely. Her skin slowly changed back to it's usual, more human skin, rather than her dark gray fur, tiger striped feral skin.
"But you don’t need to do anything stupid because of it." Ash continued on to say. "We're here for you. Even if she isn't."
I sheathed my tanto and sighed in relief. I nodded to Ash. "Yes, this was uncalled for."
Ashur turned toward me. "I had just peacefully dealt with two potentially violent problems. And was about to deal with a third. In about as many minutes, practically. Then Rith arrived, lost her temper and undid everything I had fixed."
I sighed at hearing this. "I am still a Catwalker due to the ideal as a Feles Royale. But even the Matronii and Patronii have been wrong."
Ashur nodded. "And when they cannot admit it. It leads to discontent, even rebellion."
"We were cursed never to have an empire again because of a grave error in judgment by the Old Empire's royal Matron and Patron." I added.
"I have never heard the Matron compliment any of us when we deserved such," said Ash, "I will not stay in a family where the Matron rules with ire and does not show support for her family. I will NOT."
Beast nodded. "Well I'm in those shoes now Ash."
Ashur nodded. "I am interested in seeing what comes of this. Sarika was there also. She also expressed dissatisfaction. The Matron threw it back in our faces. I have served the Catwalkers above and beyond the call of duty for a long time now, and I feel there is little if any reward in doing such any more. I will wait a short while to see what comes of this. Most likely Rith will hide from us and these issues again, leaving us to fend for ourselves." She growled in anger.
I softened my eyes in seeing Beast crying, then hugged her. "We'll work things out Kitten. We'll find a way."
Beast nodded as I held her away from the ledge and allowed her to cry freely.
I sighed at hearing Ash's comments. "I know our Matron has erred. But remember, we're still family." I looked to Beast, "You are of an even more closer familia to me than even the Catwalkers my love."
Beast stopped crying and started to murr softly. "I'm happy to be that one hun. You are my only family now."
"Ash is in that familia too. Reserved only for my closest friends and those I love most, especially you my Kitten."
Beast smiled at Ioh. "Then let that be enough. Because other than Dui, you two are the closest thing to family I can call. And sorry about earlier when I got mad at you Ash."
I sighed. "This is a mess, I don't even know how this even came to be. Our Matron herself was with me at Snake Pit last week, we even talked over a few drinks there." I then nuzzled Beast. "My familia is the most important thing to me. I will do what I can to protect the ones I care for and love."
Ashur shook her head. "She is unstable. She loves us, but she also has strange ideas on leadership. And she seems to lose perspective and the ability to do what she tells us to do. To be, in her own words, and I qoute, 'Smart, empathic, disciplined, good-natured, obediant, and amibitious.'"
Beast nuzzled back with a smile. "I will protect those who deserve it. Like you. Ioh. And you too Ash. Don't think we forgot about you." Beast headed over and hugged Ashur in an apologetic way. "I'm sorry Ash. Can you forgive me?"
I shrugged. "Maybe Rithy's getting cranky in her old age. " I smirked, "But I'm even older than she is, so what's that say about me?" I chuckled trying to lighten things up a bit.
Ashur decided to let Ioh take the lead and stopped her complaining. She hugged Beast and purred. Beast then tickled her sides while mewing. "gotcha back now hehe."
Ashur eeped and lept back grinning. Beast giggled.
"Its okay Beast." Ashur said, "We all make mistakes. It's how we move on from them that matters."
Beast nodded, smiling. Moving as fast as Grease Lightning, she pokes Ashur's sides again for a laugh.
As the silliness was going on, I was pondering a bit. "You know, the ideal of the Catwalkers is what drew me here. Even partially the tradition of a Matron. As my clan was run by the Matronis and Patronis as head of the familiae. So the ideal is appealing, even while the reality is flawed."
Beast giggled while nodding to what I said. Ashur looked at Ioh, not understanding his words well but got the gist of it.
I murred, then sighed. "I don't know yet. To remain or to go from the Catwalkers."
Beast sighed, "I'm gone already."
I nodded, then shook my head. "It may be possible to appeal. Maybe fight to regain your place among the Kittenwalkers again." I shruged, "That is, if that is what you'd want to do, my Kitten."
Ashur pondered on that. "Beast, just think about it for a day or two. Approach and speak to Rith if you have to. She is the source of your unhappiness. I think if anyone logically speaks to her and she still won't listen, then your case is untainted. You tried.
As for me, and perhaps others, the time is fast approaching for a big change in the Catwalkers." Ashur let her ominous words trail off, the unspoken words spoke louder than a gunshot.
I shrugged. "It is hard to say. I'm just amazed at what happed. Shocked that such a thing would happen in the first place." I then listened to what Ash was saying, "There is indeed a need to do something, but what?"
"There have been too many of us who have left." Ashur continued, "Even one is too much. Rith needs to wake up or we can do what needs to be done."
Beast nodded to Ashur. "If anything, Rith will kill me for this. But I'll talk with her in three days. And if all goes wrong, I'll leave and start something new. Or just wander alone like a vigilanty or something, helping the innocent."
Ashur nodded to Beast. "Fine. But don't despair yet. Okay?"
Beast gave a small look of gratitude to Ashur.
"As a Catwalker, my loyalties are to the Matron and Master." I then began thinking, "However..."
Ashur nodded to me. "However..."
I looked around. When I felt comfortable that I was secure to speak in the area, I continued, "However, even among the Feles, there were times that the Matronis and Patronis would 'retire.'" I said with a serious and somewhat grim look.
"And then becomes anarchy right?" asked Beast.
Ashur nodded again. "In the military, an unfit leader is ousted and another installed. By force, if necessary."
Beast gravely nodded in agreement.
I nodded, then sighed, "I don't like thinking like this, but, the Matron has not seemed herself."
Beast slowly brought her hand into a fist and pushed it into her other palm. "Then let us do something?"
I looked to Beast solemnly, "What we're talking about here is a last resort situation."
Beast shook her head, "It now is my only resort."
Ashur nodded gravely. "Yes." But her face seemed to say, "This has been a long time coming."
Beast had put a fist in the air, as if vowing to a cause. Ashur looked at Beast, wondering if she knew the horror and bloodshed that could occur becasue of their intended actions.
I shrugged. "For the time being, let's not speak of this, especially not in so open an area." I then pondered, "We have to be careful no matter. If we do anything, we need to find a place where we're relatively safe to speak openly and without much..." I looked about the rooftops, "Ears from our family's well known security up here."
Beast nodded. "Where will I go now?" Her face was sullen and dark. She looked down, "I can see if Mitz has a place to stay. 'Cause I got none."
"If you need to be in the city. But remember, we've got our hideout away from the city as well Kitten." I winked at Beast.
Beast smiled back with a twinkle in her eyes.
Ashur said quietly. "I have always found the ruined zone to be good place for qiuet. Most stay away from that place."
Beast shivered from the mention of the ruins.
"If you are seriously in need, let me know also, Beast. I am not without resources." Added Ashur.
Beast nodded and smiled to Ashur. "Thanks. I will. But first I will see if I can fix me something."
I pondered a bit more on the subject. "But remember, the Strays are around in the south side of the city now. Though they might be interested, for now, this should be an internal issue."
Ashur looked at me again. "Ioh. Sarika was also angry about this. Speak to her. Speak to others. See who will join in a... change... in the status quo. Let me know. I will do the same."
Beast added, "First talk with Gin and Dui. They'd be big."
Ashur looked at Beast, and nodded slowly.
"I'll keep my ears open." I pondered again, "What about Linds? Is she still around?"
Beast nodded, "Yeah she is."
"Good," I replied, "she's a veteran, and she brought me into the Pride."
Ashur added "Rarely have I seen her. I don't know her that well. This whole affair has left me feeling sick. I'm going somehwere to be alone for a time. See you both soon, I hope. Take care."
Beast turned to them. "Ok well I'm heading to Mitz's place for now to heal. Thanks for pulling me out of this one."
I nodded and waved to Ash, "Take care and be safe. I'm not looking to do Hari Kari any time soon with my blade!" I chuckled, meaning it to be somewhat a joke, despite how morbid it sounded.
Ashur said nothing. Her thoughts leaned toward the future, and bloodletting...
And so began the working of the revolution of the Catwalkers. One Matron to step down, and two to take her place. However, I was not looking to be in the revolution. While on my quest to learn more about the history of the Catwalkers, I had met with the first leader of the Catwalkers. Her alias in town was Sekhmet, and her story of the town, and what happened to the original Catwalkers was enough to make me see the vanity of the revolution. For Rith was said to had started the first revolution to which not only ousted Sekhmet, but started a whole new Catwalker group, to which took over the old group's property, due to internal simulus politics. In other words, Rith's fate was just a continuation of that which she first began when she usurped Sekhmet and Bastet to start the first reign of the Matronage. So too would the dual Matronage of Lindsay and Tober step down, then Dui, then Elise, and now...
*sighs*
I don't want to speak on it. Not now...
"The things we do sometimes, to protect the Pride... it can be a mess sometime, huh?"
I said to Ashur, who by the time I spoke those words was made a Wrath in the Catwalkers. Me? I was grafted back in, and had just turned Satomi into a cat.
"It can be," Ash replied back to me. "Mari showed us that."
I nodded, "Yeah, Mari..." It had not been long after I attempted to kill that cat.
"But the Pride is first," Ash continued on to say. "Yes. Family First."
I then looked down towards the ground and asked her, "Am I...?"
"Are you what, Ioh?"
"Becoming like Mari?"
Ashur frowned, "Why do you say that?"
I shrugged, "I dunno..."
Just then, a visitor dropped by the park, and Ash responded, "Oh, hey Ginkitty." She then smiled to him. "Whats new?"
Gin eyed the big cannon on Ash's back "Is that a gun?"
I looked and saw Gin, "Hey there."
Ashur nods nodded to Gin. "Yus, it is. A 20mm sniper/anti-armour rifle. I got it in Hong Kong while I was a away."
"Wow Ash. Impressive." Said Gin before turning to me. "Hi Ioh. Just wanted to say 'night to the both of you." He licked his fur as he prepared for his bedtime.
"Well thanks, kind Gin." Said Ash, "Sleep well. It's good to see you again."
"Sleep well Gin." I replied.
Gin then ran off in the direction of the Den.
I waved as Gin ran off, then slumped a bit.
"So, Ioh... You have something to tell me?" Asked Ashur.
I nodded, then sighed, "I'll have to tell the Matrons eventually, so might as well talk with you first then...."
Ashur perked her ears. "I'm listening, Ioh." she said in her soft voice.
Looking away for a moment, I then said, "You remember that military recruit that we captured before you went on vacation? Well, she came back to the Den a few more times, shot Dui, Elise, and even Aspie Kitten."
Ash nodded knowingly.
I shrugged, "Then you probably heard about how I had her captured a second time, and what happened after that."
"All I know is you got ahold of her and she's not been seen since. Did you kill her?"
"So you've heard a bit about the third time huh?" I shook my head, "It didn't turn out how I expected. You see, I intended to at least torment her, maybe shoot and kill her, but..."
Ashur tilted her head, looking at me.
I looked up toward military base just behind the cement walls of the park, "Think we should head some place a little further from here?"
Ashur nodded. "Follow me."
I nodded as I stood up. We then went out into the ruins.
"Technically Pack turf," Ash explianed, "But I came here when they were still dreaming of their own territory. Besides, Angela likes me. So go on."
"Alright," I then began my story, "So I got to a point when interrogating her, trying to figure out her motives, that, I don't know. I could see the usual fear you'd expect. But, there was something else, like an uncertainty about the military, about her role." I shrugged, "Stupid stuff I guess, that I should have not paid any mind to."
Ashur shook her head. "What are you getting at, Ioh?"
"I couldn't kill her, and I couldn't simply let her free either."
"What did you do to her Ioh?"
"I turned her into a cat... sorta."
Ashur blinked rapidly, then frowned. "Er, say what?"
"Well, I guess she's technically like the test tube cats, being half human, and half my pure bred Feles."
She raised an eyebrow. "How, precisely, did you do that, may I ask?"
"Well, it's a long story. But basically, seven years ago, I met a scientist who I became friends with. He extracted some of my DNA and mixed it in a vial with, I think it's a virus or bacterial host." I shrugged, "Either way, it was developed to carry my DNA into the host after being injected, and thus reforming the host to be more like the DNA found in syrum."
Ashur nodded. "I see... well, she's a cat now. Well, I hope she goes insane and kills herself for what she did to us. But also..., I dunno. I feel it's an invasion making scum like her one of us."
I shrugged, "Well, apparently it cured her of her illness. Though she's still transitioning." I murred, knowing that it won't be easy to explain, "Ash... she's a sired one of mine now."
She pursed her lips and folded her arms, thinking. "Umm... This is difficult Ioh. What you did was sneaky. Almost Ghost-like. But also, your ability to torment people in your clutches is self-evident too. Thing is, umm..., she's not likely to be welcomed into the Pride, at least not until she does penance for what she did to us."
Looking up at her from the incline, still trying to gauge her reaction, I looked down, "Yes, I know, and I knew then that she likely would not be accepted by the Pride. Though I think she's willing to do penance. I don't know if any amount will be good for some in the Pride." I sighed, "Aspie Kitten already seems to hate me. Or really dislikes what I did." A tear came down from my cheek, "She even called me a monster..."
Ashur reached a small but clawed hand up to my face and brushed the tear away." I'm sorry to hear that Ioh. What you did was... strange and unusual punishment..., but you're hardly a monster for it. Satomi is a better person now from what you tell me. That's something."
I nodded with a sniff, "Yeah..., but I don't know." I then shrugged, "I still have to pay for my actions. At least, I guess, I need penance..., seek attonement, or whatever."
At least then, I could be granted penance more freely. But now, either I am paying back the pennies for my debt I piled up in my life, so I may be polished and made whole again. Or I am being tormented, and only now seeing my missed opportunity to learn the life lesson and repent of my follies.
Ashur had been there many times to reveal the warning signs of the path we walked upon in that city and in the Pride. She too before me was brought high. She was the one who sought for me the position of Tormentor. And then, an upstart cat by the name of Ayami came into the Pride and ruined Ash. She caused Ash's departure from the Pride. I also made friends with, and eventually called another young recruit in the Catwalkers my sis', who was named Baily Dazy, but went by the name of Dazy.
God. If I would have known the foolishness of befriending and making family this pink cat, I would have never made her so. But, she was in the Pride, as was Ayami. And so, they were family regardless. Yet, now, the logic seems stupid, considering that such an unconditional acceptance was not reciprocated in the end. They came to despise me. Just as Mari was torn down out of favor. And then Ashur. What came reciprocal was mutual hatred, as the scars of internal 'family' warfare took their toll. And somehow, I knew that this would all fall to pieces as it did. I could just feel it. It should have been apparent when...
I found myself standing on the ledge in the middle of the high rising building that stood next to the Den. Gin was struggling in agony, looking over to me with some hope in his eyes.
"Last chance, cat boy," I heard Ash say as I approached. She dropped to a knee, using Gin as cover, and fired a burst at me.
I heard the gun fire, then hopped back behind the wall, quickly drawing my duals. Dazy growled and came up behind me. Gin still struggled with his good leg to push off the ground with his back against the black clad figure to cause her aim to be off. Ashur stayed crouched as she unclipped a grenade from her utility belt. She popped the pin, counted to 3, and skittered it around the corner after I and Dazy, prepaing for the blast a second later. Dazy started around the back corner to get to Ashur's other side she approached the other side of the building behind Ashur. I ducked as I did a barrol roll, taking a hop back towards the black uniformed bioweapon.
And then, a time out was called by Ash, to which the log, I try to recollect here:
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : hold on a sec!
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : my grenade action please...
: Bailey Dazy OOC : i was on my way around the building when that post was made, so i'd have been around a wall by then
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : you were next to Ioh when I tossed the grenade Baily, not behind me....
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : one second fuse after I tossed it...
: Bailey Dazy OOC : i was typing out that i was walking around the building, i walked the long way around...
: Bailey Dazy OOC : i'll bow out though if this is gunna run funky i dont wanna cause rp issues
Ginseng Kyong: ((what is the order? and I change mine from push to struggle to get a footing of some sorts)
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : you werent, you were approaching Ioh..read up...suddenly you're not, your going back the other way...please repost?
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : Bailey Dazy growls and approaches behind Ioh......
: Bailey Dazy OOC : ugh nevermind ignore me im out. in my eyes this was what happened i was typing (apparently not fast enough) that i was heading around the building when your post came though... i went ahead and hit enter anyway after... maybe i should have just stopped there. well ignore everything ive done. im bowing out.
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : sorry Bailey, Im not accepting your movement, you stated you were approaching Ioh, then suddenly you"re running around the building to the other side...yes....bow out then if you feel that way
Ginseng Kyong ((Bailey you are starting your way around the building right now))
: Bailey Dazy OOC : i do :) bye.... no gins im out. ill be at the med den when you need help
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : and consider yourself out of my storyline in future if its going to devolve into OOC squabbles....
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : now, for the rest of you...grenade to deal with.
Iohannes Crispien: ((back, my connection has been like this all day, and Ash, any more like that and I'm out of here too))
Ginseng Kyong ((Ash she just needs some experience with battles
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : she needs to be muted , and thats what Im doing to her. I have no time for this.
Iohannes Crispien: ((Ash fine then, I'm voiding and muting you as well.))
Iohannes Crispien: ((Sorry Gin, but this RP is going nowhere, so you can stay, void, or whatever.))
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : Well your decision is to support those who mess up combat RP, then do it Ioh. Nothing surprises me anymore really, even hearing things like this from my friends.))
Ginseng Kyong ((wait guys))
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : What, gin?
Iohannes Crispien: ((Sorry, but she had every right to go around the building, that was her decision, and that's what I would have /told/ her to do as well))
Ginseng Kyong ((how about we get Baily back.. and do this like we should and have fun))
Ginseng Kyong ((but she did go around a little too quick
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : NOT when she had posted she was approaching you from behind! Thats not acceptable!
Ginseng Kyong ((she needs to post it before she moves))
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : I'll not be party to being metagamed and god-modded in combat RP anymore. its not fair. And you"re supporting her Ioh. Im surprised, and disappointed.
Iohannes Crispien: ((Ash doesn't seem to want to do that, she seems more in dictating everyone else's moves.... that's power gaming, and in effect, godmoding))
Iohannes Crispien: ((out of here, and I don't care Ash, you brought it on yourself))
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : So go ahead and mute me then if you want Ioh, I cant stop you of course. Was nice being friends, i suppose....
Ginseng Kyong ((Ash you could of been more nice.. Bailey is still new to combat))
Iohannes Crispien: ((Yeah, too bad you turned into Rith and Mari, Ash. But that's your RP))
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : THEN MAYBE YOU catwalkers should train her better...so she doesn't annoy people when it comes to combat!
Ginseng Kyong ((I plan to talk to her later))
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : And you Ioh? So quick to Mute me over an obvious case of someone else messing with the RP...
: Ashur Kentoku OOC : Well fine your decision. Gin, wanna finish this?
Ginseng Kyong ((if we get a replacement for Ioh))
Iohannes Crispien: ((Gin, she was Fine, and no, I don't see her messing it up. I see someone I considered a friend take over the RP, and essentially power gamed it into OOC.))
Ashur Kentoku: 22 Well, I have to goto work now Gin
*shakes my head*
It was a stupid argument, and nearly ended a friendship. And I defended who? My sis'? My fair weather sis'? Dazy, who could give a damn about me now? Yes, I was stupid for it. And almost lost a true friend to keep someone who turned out to be a fake one. But what does it matter, now that I'm dead. They're both lost to me now.
But now, what does it matter? Though Ash was there, I didn't heed her warnings. And now look. Here I am in this dream. This nightmare. Replaying a fake life I lived in a fake city in a fake world. And what do I have to show for myself? A man who died in his early thirties. He lived alone, and died alone. And now I am here in the prison of my own making. Alone. And apparently fated to watch the reruns of my pathetic life and where I screwed up. Alone.
And I leave
A burning path of flame
for today's FGR challenge:Camouflage; where are you? oh there you are!

Music used: To Pass Time - Godmode
For the technical side (how-to):
you will need:
- doom 3 (duh!)
- irfan view (free)
- anamaker (free)
- anaglyphic glasses (very cheap, see your optician for the cheapes cardboard models)
For a phototour i recommend fiddling with your console (when fiddling with your console you can MESS THINGS UP - so do some reading on how to back up your config files!!!).
open up the console:
CTRL+ALT+^
enter:
GOD (so you cannot die)
NOCLIP (for flying and passing through walls for nice perspectives)
NOTARGET (so monsters will stay lurking in the dark instead of attacking you)
you do not want your guns and HUD in the screenshot, so what I did (alternatives are possible):
enter:
bind F11 "set ui_showGun 0; set g_showHud 0; screenshot"
(this will hide weapons and HUD from your screen and make a screenshot)
then type:
bind F12 "set g_showHud 1; set ui_showGun 1"
now you will take "clean" screenshots using F11, if you wanna proceed playing/killing, press F12.
SHOOTING PICS:
find a nice perspective. Start "left", take screenshot using F11, then slightly strafe right and take next screenshot(s). The closer the object, the less strafing you should do in between shots (just "tap" your "strafe right" key).
Take loads of shots.
When taking pics of Monsters, take even more and try to sync it with the movement (its tricky), for example the moment when the Zombie looks to its right or the monster flicks its tongue.
There is also a "freeze" command in the console but I have not tried it yet - would be cool though for action shots!
Note that Godmode and Noclip has to be reentered at the beginning of a new level.
Screenshots will be saved to (standard setting) C:\programs\base\screenshots
in .tga format.
As Anamaker can only handle .jpeg and .bmp files you will have to use irfanview to batch convert the .tga-files to .jpeg.
Now you have everything you need.
Open Anamaker.
Choose "left eye" and flip through your screenshots folder. As they are just given names shot0001 through shot9999 it is easy to find the first pic of a series.
So lets say choose "shot0013" for left eye. Now choose "shot 0014" for right eye and make an anaglyph (check the color anaglyph tab). Put on your anaglyphic glasses and enjoy.
You can fiddle a bit with the cross-shaped buttons to shift the two pictures.
Once you are satisfied, save your work.
If the effect is not as desired, choose the next pair of your set. Say, choose shot14 for left and shot 15 for right eye.
It takes only a little practise and if you are anything like me, the results will leave a big smile on your face.
Works with other 3d-games as well, but be shure you figure out a way to loose the weapon and HUD in the screenshots.
