[EVENING, HOUSE 7 - 21ST JANUARY - CLOSED TO FAITH]
[Death hurts like a bitch. After days of confusion and nights haunted by dreams of a woman's blazing eyes and cruel hands wrapped around his neck, he finally puts the pieces together. Jessica. He remembers what she did. He remembers this place, the strange musty room, the silence.

He takes back his device and scans through the messages. He sees Jessica's public service announcement – Jesus Christ. She told the entire fucking community everything, even his real name. The only thing she neglected to do was provide a picture. How did he ever think he was in love with this woman? He's going to have to hide and he's going to have to change his name. How many people has he introduced himself to? A few: some will remember and recognise him. But a lot won't, and that gives him some breathing space to figure out how to deal with this.

First, he needs a bodyguard, preferably someone who can match Jessica and someone he can control. Someone he knows how to find.

Well, then. A name does come to mind. He goes to House 7, looking around for a familiar face, a girl with dark hair and eyes, a girl who told him that she had super strength. The moment he sees her, he doesn't wait: he has to risk it. He speaks a single, quiet word:]


Stop.


[DAY, HOUSE 9, HOUSE 10 AND OUT AND ABOUT - 23RD/24TH JANUARY - SEMI-OPEN]
[He lies low for a couple of days but he can't hide forever. Eventually Jessica is going to learn that he's back and he'd rather do that on his terms. Be prepared. So he takes Faith out with him and heads first to House 9 where he's looking for Kara, the one other person whose location he knows who is both susceptible to his control and has the ability to protect him.

Then he goes back to House 10, but warily, making Faith check first that Jessica isn't there before going in, and keeping his visit as short as possible. He's here to pick up a couple of things from his room, that's all.

While he's going from house to house, he can be approached – but note that Faith is with him at all times and she is under orders to protect him from any threat or attack. He's sticking to the busiest areas so there will always be NPCs around. Safety in a crowd.]

[Oh, hey, this again. He's trying hard not to just blurt it out but Kilgrave's a little insistent so Aaron speaks out instead of just typing his answers.]

Leaving pranks and trying to scare you into stopping before it's too late.

[Great, well, now it's too late. Maybe. Who knows, Kilgrave might be reasonable enough to be talked down? Not really Aaron's thing but Aaron's thing got ruined.]

[Faith closes the door behind them, holding tight to Aaron. He's not going to go anywhere. The both of them talking makes her eyes widen, glancing around a second just a second to be sure that nothing is about to come out of the wood work. Not this time luckily.]

[He smiles his thanks at Kilgrave for switching the means of communication. Aaron types away and just sends the message to Kilgrave instead of flashing it at him.]

All of this forcing people to do your bidding thing. I figure scaring you might be the nice way to go about it. I'm supposed to do that before I try the mean way.

[This is probably not going to go well. What would his mentor do in this situation? Probably say something a bit more wise and a bit more cutting.

He'd probably not get caught either.]

[She leans over Aaron to watch as he types. She should have guessed this had been him. She knows he's a trickster and a bit reckless. If she ever gets out of Kilgrave's control, she's going to have words with him about being more careful.

If he manages to get out of this, anyway.]
xochipilli_cursed: (Err)

[Aaron knows he shouldn't kick the hornets nest, and he's probably at this guy's mercy, but...

He types.]


Some of it might have been a lie but you're still using your abilities on people and I don't think they're willing. Honestly, knowing what you can do first hand now, I don't think there is any way to convince someone you aren't controlling those around you against your will.

So new deal. You let Faith go by sending her away and not visiting her for a couple days, you promise not to use your powers on strangers, you go find a place to live alone and I will find a new way to appease Coyote. Maybe apologize to Jessica too. In person. The worst she can do is kill you.


[Aaron figures he's being more than fair here.]

rockypath: (not sure about you)

[There's no way that Kilgrave is going to go for that offer. Faith rolls her eyes a bit. Wonderful Aaron. Now he's probably going to just force you to leave them alone. Proving Jessica's point, but ultimately not helping anyone. She grips him a bit tighter, her only real way of showing her disapproval of his trying to make deals with the mind-controlling crazy person.]
xochipilli_cursed: (Wuuuuhhh?)

[Even without the command he doesn't really want to test if he can fight Faith. He's pretty sure she can take him at his best. Though considering how this all is going down, there's a good chance Kilgrave could make him sit there and just die anyways.

So of course he doesn't want to be killed. He just wants to go away, stop interfering and not tell anyone what happened.

And come back the same time tomorrow.

He nods to Kilgrave and stands up. He even hands Kilgrave the list of places written in blood Kilgrave has been to because now that he's caught and can't tell about this there's no reason to keep it.

And with that, Aaron leaves. He's going to come back, just like Kilgrave says and admits that if he had the chance he'd try to make living miserable for Kilgrave. His deal was insulting but he still really wants to stand by it.]
