He had tried, he really had, but he just-- he couldn't do it. He couldn't look at Luna every day and just ignore that fury brewing in his gut, the vicious impulse to track Beck down and shred his stupid, ghostly body apart. Bast didn't care if he couldn't really kill him -- he just wanted the gratification of pretending to, over and over and over. Becky could still hurt, even if he could not die, and Bastille would see to it that he did. He didn't care what Starry did to him, or what anyone said. He was going to have his fucking vengeance, damnit. The ground cracked in delicate lines beneath his paws as he stalked along the edges of Tanglewood territory, but he steps were silent. He was going to have to figure out how to get to Becky in the first place, though he was unfamiliar with their territory and thus had to resort to peering through the trees, tracking aura movements in the distance and trying to figure out the fastest way to get in and out of their camp. He was taking care to make sure his invisibility stayed on, sticking close to the border and watched for his opportunity, the anger thrumming gently in his veins. He wouldn't have anticipated Becky actually leaving the territory, though -- it was honestly as if fate was fucking smiling down on him, urging him along as he stalked after the rotten little troll. His blood was boiling with the urge to lunge for him on sight, but Bastille wanted to see where he was going first (if he turned towards the Ascendants, Bastille might just fucking lose it, though).

Bastille had no idea where the fuck the gremlin was going, but he followed behind idly, frosty stare locked on the distant leader as he seemed to wonder aimlessly. Just the sight of him, going about life casually as if he hadn't brutalized Luna, was starting to piss the corporal off very, very quickly. The cracks shooting out from under his paws seemed to be spreading faster, but luckily, the rest of his powers did not seem to be activating in response to his fury. No, in fact, other than the slight slip... he felt very much in control, the intent focus of his anger silencing everything else. There was nothing but his gaze tracking Beck and the steady assurance that he was going to make his life fucking hell. When the vermin seemed to settle at a pond, Bastille felt a relief that he wasn't anticipating -- gods, he was so sick of waiting, and it was almost annoying to see that holding off had yielded him with absolutely nothing useful. All there was out here were some fucking fish, and he could have had Beck ensnared ages ago. At the very least, there was unlikely to be anyone else out here, but fuck. As he stalked towards the ghost, it became hard to miss the slow crawl of cracks across the ground. It didn't matter, though -- Bastille was already within range and focused, his invisibility flickering off as he slammed against Becky's mind, systematically tearing through the leader's mental defenses and targeting the system connected with fear and movement; ultimately his goal was to paralyze Beck psychologically, keeping the asshole still long enough for him to seek out what he was really after. It took time to sort through memories to find something useful, after all, and Bast wanted to make sure he was thorough. "Hi, Beck," he said lowly, his ice blue eyes frigid as he smiled dangerously. There was a vicious tension about the corporal, and he took another step closer as he started to shuffle around idly through memories, well practiced in the habit of seeking out those that seemed to throb with negative energy. "Do me a favor and sit tight, yeah?"

He would file that away for the next time Beck pissed him the fuck off (which, honestly? would probably be sooner than excepted). It was a little disappointing that the jackass seemed incapable of responding to him, because he would have loved to hear whatever pathetic insults Beck had prepared before he shut him up. More interesting, at least. As it was, Bastille was practically talking to himself as he stalked closer, frosty gaze shifting over the ghost briefly as he shifted through the memories that were arising. His eyes narrowed slightly as a more prominent one pulled to the surface, and after a brief preview Bast had the general idea -- back-stabbing, betrayal, strangling, drowning. He pulled harder on the memory, trying to draw from it what about it really hit home the most with Beck, and decided that the drowning was probably the most traumatic (the cause of his death?) but the betrayal was important, too. He sifted about through other memories, targeting similar instances, and drew up lingering thoughts of abandonment. Smirking slightly, the bengal briefly released Beck's memories, leaving him paralyzed instead. "You're going to regret ever even looking at Luna, jackass," he said quietly, before making a brief plan of the scene he wanted: friends -- Tanglewood? -- betraying Becky, drowning him and leaving him to die as they abandoned him. He figured that would target all three of the weakest points he found in the leader's memories, anyway. And then he pushed -- [u]shoving hard with another thread of telepathy, this time bypassing Beck's memories and fabricating his own image, his own personal version of Hell. He worked from his brief interactions with Tanglewood, developing images of those members he had met before and pulling in fragments of Beck's memories of them to round out what Bast didn't know. It took a few minutes to set the scene, but attention to detail was important -- he might have a firm grasp on Beck's mind, but he needed things to still be realistic in order for the terror to really set in. He coaxed Beck's thoughts into believing it was real, into seeing his Clanmates surrounding him, jeering and insulting him just as that group in his memories did. "We don't need you anyway, kid," one member -- Belladonna? -- leered, and the others were quick to chime in as the circle drew tighter around Beck. |
