Entry 35
Day 228
Scott.
The same Scott who was supposed to no longer be here. The same Scott who had gone missing in our G.U.I.D.E.- The same Scott who had dark blonde hair the last time I saw him. Somebody who didn't have blue-tinted skin and an icy stare.
Somebody who didn't have ANTLERS of all things.
All I could do was stare. That was all I did. I just took in the face of the man who... that was my best friend. But it's been ten years. By the Watchers, I wish I knew what happened to him.
"You are not supposed to be here, Martyn."
His voice had changed too. Rougher. More defensive.
"And you are supposed to be in the G.U.I.D.E, but here you are. You're changed. You're not..."
"Not what? Not normal? Not that stupid, aloof boy who ran around the G.U.I.D.E with my head so far up in the clouds I couldn't tell reality from fiction?"
A sigh had escaped my lips back then. I wish it didn't. "You were never aloof, Scott. You were incredibly smart and witty and could do so many wonderful things- But then you left. You vanished in the middle of the night. You left the G.U.I.D.E! You left the people you were supposed to help- You left... You left me!"
"NOT WILLINGLY!" His hands slammed against his chest. "Look at me, Martyn! Does it look like I left willingly?! Those damned Watchers, feeding your brain- I bet you still believe everything they told you too!" The world around us had gotten quiet. People were looking.
And the "Jimmy" guy finally stepped in between us.
"Scott- Scott, hey, you don't need to tell him anything." He was definitely trying his best to keep the peace. But I've been told that I'm one stubborn bastard.
"No, actually, I think you do!" Jimmy's wing -Golden and soft and organic- stopped me in my path. "Scott, you left the night of your birthday! You left after freaking- You KISSED me, damnit! And then left! I thought you had died!"
"I WAS TAKEN YOU DUMBASS!" His hands got more blue with... With ice. Ice that he should have never had.
"Scott, you really don't need to do this, you know it makes you upset-"
"OH REALLY?! WERE YOU?! THAT SOUNDS LIKE A HELL OF A LOT OF BULLSHIT TO ME!" I shouldn't have yelled back then. Especially with Brian cawing the way he was.
"I WAS! THE WATCHERS ARE NOTHING BUT AN EVIL GROUP THAT JUST WANTED TO TORMENT US!" He was crying now. I, ME, I made him cry. Over ten years and I made him cry. But my anger was still speaking for me.
"And why would they want to hurt us, Scott?! They gave us everything!"
"They took away everything from us, what do you mean?!"
"ENOUGH!" Pearl's voice. I was pushed back from Scott while Jimmy stood in front of Scott like he was something that needed to be protected.
Needed to be protected from ME.
I should have been the one to protect him. I shouldn't have made him scared, but I did.
"Both of you are acting childish- You both are taking this out of my Emporium. Now!"
And that was how we got kicked out. And yet Jimmy was still protecting Scott.
Even when we left the Emporium and were finally in a quiet place... I still let myself be dumb. I wish Brian poked my head more often for my dumbass-ery at that moment.
"I thought you were dead."
"I'm not."
"They told me you left- That you hated the G.U.I.D.E and wanted to let yourself die in the wastelands. I... Didn't want to believe them."
"You did. Didn't you?"
My silence was the wrong answer.
"Martyn. You're a dumbass. You're a stubborn dumbass who never thinks things through. Why the hell would you even come out here?"
I held my arm up for him. His stunned expression... I wish it hadn't been with tears in his eyes. "A year after you left, a virus ran rampant. Killed everyone. Took my arm. I had to slice it off before it destroyed me." Scott's and Jimmy's shared silence let me continue. "Had to make a prosthetic. It was absolutely dog water. Held up for a while though. A couple of years. But then I had to make another one. And another... And another. It was okay for a while! Wish you had been there, Scott, would have been really nice to have my best friend with me to keep me sane but hey! Shit happens.
I made a fourth one when these... Bandits broke in. Took everything in there. I had to leave. I've been out here for almost a whole year now. Trying to find the Doctor. Give me an arm that will actually last." When I looked at Scott, his eyes were so... Empty. Void of anything. "When you left, everything changed. I became the Admin of the G.U.I.D.E. I got to read so many books- Things that I wanted to share with you!"
"I never said you had to be Admin, Martyn! I never even hinted at it!"
"I did it for you, Scott! Damnit, I did it so you and I could have been happy together! Unlimited access to everything, keep the G.U.I.D.E healthy and strong- We wanted that!"
"YOU wanted that, Martyn!" His hands collided with my chest. Gods I wish I wasn't so angry. I wish I had held his hands. I wished I hadn't gotten so headstrong. "Those were your dreams! I just wanted to be happy with you! That's why the Watchers took me away!"
More tears. His face turned an ugly shade of purple and ice crawled along my torso. I still have frost burn on my chest from it.
"That's... That can't be why. Why would they take you away just because you made me happy? That's stupid! That's absolutely stupid to even suggest-"
"Because you're too dumb to realize what they were getting at! We were just players in a game for them, Martyn!"
Jimmy stepped in. Again. And this time I didn't get a chance to speak. Not with a feathered wing shoved in my mouth.
"Scott. Enough. You don't owe this guy anything. Come on. Let's get home."
Two pairs of eyes glared at me as they walked away. One pair that I wish I'd been more calm with. I wish that I had just pushed down that rush of anger- Goodness-
His pen hit the paper with a loud shout. "GOD DAMNIT!" He held his head in his hands as he stared at the unfinished entry. "God damnit. I fucked up. I... Fucked up so much." A caw. "Yeah, I know. Big time."
Martyn didn't even bother to sign the entry. He shut the leather journey and tucked it away in his backpack. "I don't think I'll ever see him again either. He'll never forgive me. By the Watchers... What did he mean by that? Taken?? Nobody gets taken for making somebody else happy! That's just ludicrous!"
Another unamused caw.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Stupid." He collapsed onto the incredibly hard bed and let out a groan. "Ow... Forget these things are practically concrete..."
A cawing-like laughter from the bird.
"Oh ha ha. Very funny Brian."
Martyn rolled onto his stomach and stared at the comm. The reflection disgusted him. That reflection was him. "I need to find him again. I... I need to apologize to him, Brian. It's been almost fourteen years. I need to make things right by him. I need to hear him out, find out what happened to him. I made it sound like it was HIS fault for the G.U.I.D.E collapsing."
Another caw. Much louder.
"I know. Pretty shit of me. He's... He looks like he's been through a lot as well. He didn't have those antlers. Didn't have blue skin. He's... I've messed up so much."
Another quiet caw, followed by a trill. Martyn didn't bother to move as a weight made itself comfortable against Martyn's side.
"Didn't know you'd be a cuddly fella." His hand traced the bird's head while a quiet coo escaped its metallic beak. "Warning, I might move a lot in my sleep. Don't peck me if I end up rolling over."
Another caw and an unamused look.
"Just a warning, little fella." A yawn escaped his lips. "G'night, Brian. Sleep well."
Martyn was out before the bird could chirp again.

"If you could have added anyone else as well as Skizz and Joel, who would it be?"
I'd probably have to say Jimmy! I'd love to see more shenanigans with Grian and Joel, as well as interactions with Tango again! (Plus it'd be fun to see him interact with non-lifers, too!)

Thought I'd take a crack at the Life Series In Your Style board (courtesy of @/xmaruu11)
Tell me which ones your favorite :)
I want you to know that my friend looked at the way you draw Jimmy for the large template and said “Shane Madej” :l
Yeah Okay.
I thought of this and I had to draw it
So Martyn was gonna be the victim for my art project, but the drawing I made didn’t work for what I was doing, and then I got an idea for Jimmy so
Ta-Da!
watchers watch with their eyes and listeners listen with their ears and Jimmy doesn't listen or watch, he sings, sings as loud as he can and hopes his friends hear his warning, and him as a listener is cool but what about him being something else, not a watcher or a listener but a third thing
BAM!
who needs sleep when you have cubitos to overdesign
