[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.]

Aaron's return will be in the evening, checking to see if Kilgrave was even home or not. If he was, Aaron's content to camp outside until everyone stops stirring. If he's not home Aaron intends to act quickly while the chance is perfect.]

He makes the shape of the room with sticks. With a rock resting in the little bed made of twigs. Aaron includes some furniture set up out of twigs and another rock resting to the side of the room where Faith tends to rest.
Last, but not least, if they don't have a trap for him outside their room, Aaron intends to leave a little stick man made of twigs and grass outside Kilgrave's windowsill like a little man looking in. Watching him.]
no subject
If Kilgrave looks to her, he'll see she's just as confused. Clearly she's not going to be any help here.]
no subject
Someone's messing with us. Keep watch. If they come back again, I want you to catch them.
no subject
With a mix of impatience and also genuine disregard for his own safety, he tries again that night. This time he's made a list of all the places Kilgrave has gone since Aaron started tailing him and placed it on a bit of fabric. Just for fun, he even used his own blood to write it. Maybe he's going too far with the horror part, but he wants this to escalate.
Aaron's idea is to sneak up on Kilgrave's door again and tie it to his door knob. Of course if someone's waiting for movement by the door, and is really, really looking for someone when they open it, Aaron's invisible will likely fail him. His Gift helps him go unseen when no one knows you're there but the best it can do is obscure you a bit before failing completely if they know where to look.]
no subject
Her eyes scan the area in front of her. Someone's there. Someone- there! Her hand darts out to grab into the darkness and attempt to drag the intruder inside.]
no subject
Okay, this isn't his best day. So now he's in the room, no longer hidden and red handed. He's not resisting right now and Faith is really, really intense.]
no subject
Aaron? What are you doing here? Answer me.
[In his surprise he's forgotten to be silent. But this is too urgent to waste time with the devices.]
no subject
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.]
no subject
no subject
Stopping what? [He gestures before Aaron can answer.] Don't speak, answer on your phone.
[That's enough talking. He's still not certain whether it's safe to risk any lengthy conversation.]
no subject
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.]
no subject
If he manages to get out of this, anyway.]
no subject
Sounds like you've fallen for Jessica's lies. I don't just go round forcing everyone to do my bidding.
[...He types this with a straight face. He's annoyed, actually. Outraged at the accusation.]
I'm willing to let you go and call this a misunderstanding, as long as you leave us alone. No more pranks. And definitely no whatever the mean way is. Okay?
[This is far nicer than he needs to be. Aaron had better appreciate that.]
no subject
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.]
no subject
no subject
Standing up, he walks over to Aaron and takes a breath.]
The worst Faith can do is kill you, do you want that? Of course you don't. Don't be a moron, Aaron. Go away, stop interfering and don't tell anyone about what's happened here. Come back at the same time tomorrow and we'll see if you've changed your mind. Leave.
[He nods at Faith, indicating for her to let him go. Aaron is getting off lightly. This could have been a lot worse.]
no subject
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.]
