oli_keeper_wood: Katie? Um. What's happened? chaserkatie: Oliver, you've got to promise me you won't get mad. oli_keeper_wood: Um. Why? chaserkatie: Because I know you, and you're going to get mad. oli_keeper_wood: ... if I'm going to get mad, then I can't promise I won't, because it will be changing the future. chaserkatie: *sigh* Okay. chaserkatie: Um, earlier this evening, a bunch of us gathered and met up with Bole. chaserkatie: Fred, George, Lee, Ron, Marcus and I. oli_keeper_wood: George told me about this last night, he told me you wouldn't. chaserkatie: Um...well, we did. *looks down* oli_keeper_wood: You... why?! chaserkatie: Because he hurt you Oliver! We wanted to let him know how it felt, how you felt when he and Adrian...we weren't going to do any serious damage. We weren't going to leave him for dead. We just wanted to hurt him. oli_keeper_wood: You hurt someone in my name. oli_keeper_wood: What - I mean. What could possibly make you think I would want that?! chaserkatie: This wasn't just about you. It was about all of us. We needed to do something. None of us wanted Bole to just get away with this. oli_keeper_wood: I can't believe you. I can't. chaserkatie: Oliver, there's more. Lee and I, we tried to keep things from getting out of hand. I mean, that's what we were there for. But Bole...he was prepared. He knew someone was going to come after him, and he was prepared. chaserkatie: Oliver, Marcus was hurt. oli_keeper_wood: He -- what happened? Is he okay? chaserkatie: Bole cast some sort of Dark Curse on him. I...I tried to disarm Bole but it didn't work, and I was helping Lee and there was this flash of light... oli_keeper_wood: a... a Dark Curse? chaserkatie: It...it's serious. He's alive, and stable, but...it was a very strong curse. chaserkatie: I tried to help him, but I couldn't even figure out what I was dealing with. oli_keeper_wood: What was the curse? chaserkatie: I...I'm not exactly sure. It's something I've never encountered before. I think it attacked his nervous system. His heart had stopped and he looked like he was dead-- chaserkatie: I'm sorry. That was...I'm sorry. oli_keeper_wood: Katie.. I. chaserkatie: I'm so sorry Oliver. We really didn't mean for things to get this out of hand. We just...we just wanted to hurt him like he had hurt you. chaserkatie: It's all my fault. oli_keeper_wood: It's not, K, it's my fault. Because if I hadn't been hurt, you wouldn't have done it. Just. Please. Give me time to think about this? chaserkatie: But...it's not your fault you got hurt. chaserkatie: Do you really want me to leave? I will if you want me to. I just...I'm sorry Oliver. We never should have gotten Marcus involved. oli_keeper_wood: I don't think I can handle talking to you right now. chaserkatie: *swallows, looks down* I understand. I don't think I'd want to talk to me if I were you either. I'll um, I'll see you later. I really am sorry Oliver. oli_keeper_wood: ::nods:: chaserkatie: ::leaves::
