[Dastan is outside, sitting in the sun. After being told he wasn't sided with anyone, he became angry but after a couple hours of climbing, he has calmed down greatly. He reclines underneath one of the trees, hoping that no one will come to kidnap him or force him to participate in a game that otherwise has deemed him to do nothing. The collar of his white shirt is popped to cover his Sand!infection and his sleeves rolled down to his wrists. The shirt is then tucked into his khakis and khakis into his boots he brought with him.]

What are you doing sitting around Prince?

I cannot do anything. I am not permitted to.

Surely there is something.

Not get kidnapped.

Wonderful.

(ooc: Short post is short.)

[Dastan wakes up in a fury. His changed form from the Well of Ancestors continues on as he tears from his bed. He had seen his father's dead body, nearly touched it, but now he is back in a place far from his goals and with a renewed anger.]

What are we doing back in this place? What did you do, Prince?

It was by no efforts of mine that we have returned here, dark spirit. This must be your fault. If you had not distracted me---

You are the one who caused your kingdom's destruction. You are the one who killed your father, chased Farah away. I am your strength, your courage.

And yet you taunt me. Where is my father?

[The argument is side-lined when a sand creature ambles into being, sand trailing a little from its eyes.]

Kill it.

[Without needing any further goading, the Prince lashes out at the sand creature and absorbing the Sand only moments before some more appear. Dastan unfurls the daggertail from his arm and spins it overhead, the blades whistling through the air as they slice into his enemies.]

[A few days of romping around outside without gravity was just what Dastan needed. The freedom to do whatever he wished helped to keep the dark murmurings of his other self quiet. There would be no reason any time soon for him to kill someone, right? When the Prince opens his armoire, just seeing the formal wear the House gave him makes him more pleased before he looks closely at the back of the shirt. A long dark red cape is attached. A ridiculously long cape. He had only ever worn such a thing when seeing the Maharajah on very special occasions.]

What is... what is the point of this?

[He had heard rumors of a party outside but had been busy climbing everywhere and thinking of Olive.]

This cannot...

[He looks around for his sword to cut the useless fabric free when something stops him. What if it would look nice? That had never stopped him before. He might as well just go shirtless for all he cared about "looking good." But a very small part of him does want to try, considering it seemed as if he would never return to Persia to defeat the Vizier.]

I do not understand.

(ooc: Because Dastan rules this.)

Canon: "Today I unleashed the Sands of Time upon my kingdom and killed everyone but two people. My father turned into a sand monster I had to kill. FML."

Canon: "The woman I have been following around the palace just stole my dagger after I had sex with her. FML."

Canon: "I reversed the damage to my kingdom and killed the traitorous Vizier, but the woman I love doesn't remember me because we never went through it. Oh, and I now have a timeline guardian who will remove me from existence chasing me so I can never eat or sleep or rest. FML."

Canon: "Because of me, my crew of fifty fine men were slaughtered by Shadee. FML."

Canon: "Someone who I thought was helping me on the Island of Time is actually the Empress of Time, the woman I am trying to defeat. FML."

Canon: "To escape the Dahaka, I had to let my past self be killed and created a time paradox. Which set the Dahaka after me even more. FML."

Canon: "By not allowing Kaileena to create the Sands of Time, I got her killed by the Vizier, who is not dead because I reversed the destruction of my kingdom. FML."

Canon: "Because I saved my kingdom from my stupidity and was subsequently chased by the Dahaka, invaders were able to destroy it. And they killed my father. FML."

Canon: "When I got back from the Island of Time, I thought I wouldn't need to manipulate time anymore, so I threw Farah's medallion away. And then the Vizier infected me with the Sands of Time (that wouldn't have happened if I kept the medallion). Now Farah will not even talk to me. FML."

Canon: "The infection of the Sands of Time in me manifests in a violent and dark entity that torments me. All because I tried to escape my destiny. FML."

Canon: "I cannot find water anywhere, which is the only thing that fights off Dark Prince. FML."

TV-Related: "I attacked my roommate, thinking he was someone else. Now he is even more afraid of me. FML."

[Dastan lounges in one of the trees outside, grateful that it's warm enough for him to just roam shirtless. He just finished a climbing fest all over the House. His legs are propped up on a branch across from where he is sitting. The prince is close to falling asleep, his head cocked back against a limb as he enjoys the brief respite from the dark entity inside him. The taunts had become quieter over the past few weeks, the voice somewhat falling into the background.]

Did you miss me?

[The Prince's eyes open and he looks around before laying back against the tree, his heart tearing away in his chest.]

No. No I did not.

[He attempts to calm himself into going to sleep.]

[Dastan slowly wakes, grumbling after some time believing himself to be here  (@ around 2:00-ish). A little confused and equally alarmed at the presence of the axe twin he thought he had already defeated. He takes a couple steps backwards and feels a foot on his back. The sword twin pushes him down to the ground. Staggering back up to his feet, the Prince grunts.]

Alright. I will admit, I was not expecting that.

[He hears the laughter of the sword twin as the monster lights the area around him and the axe twin. He curses internally before diving for the sword twin with his own sword drawn, remembering how this battle should go. In reality he is diving for his bedpost and he slices through it. The canopy of the bed collapses and he rolls to the side, thinking he is dodging an attack from the axe twin.]

Focus on the one with the sword Prince!

[Dastan attempts to turn around and slice out at the sword twin, unknowing of who might be standing there.]

(ooc: Dastan regularly didn't wear his uniform shirt, considering it was repeatedly getting caught on the blades in his arm. I know I'm taking him from a little before where I borrowed him from canon but he's right near a long battle and jumping puzzle sequence so I didn't think it'd be quite compatible with the House. So I took him from the axe/sword twin boss battle after the second chariot race.)

DETENTION, GROUP B.

[Dastan slinks into detention, grumbling about how silly uniforms are. It is clear that the daggertail embedded in his arm has torn his left sleeve and part of the left side of his shirt to shambles. The remains of fabric cling to the infected blades and as he sits down, the prince tries to gingerly pick them free. He decides that he won't go to class, even if just to keep from having to wear some stupid uniform that gets caught in the daggertail. He seats himself down at one of the desks and threads his infected and blackened fingers with his normal tan ones. He waits for anyone to keep him company, well, anyone other than the other entity residing in his head.]

Do you really think this is a wise way to spend your time Prince?

I have nothing better to do.

You could be escaping from this place, retaking your kingdom from the Vizier.

I was so close. He was within my grasp.

And yet you failed. You did not rely on my strength to push you just the few inches farther. You waited to use me. Waited until you were threatened with death.

And that did so much good, I ended up in this strange House.

If you had not spent so much time crying about Farah and everything that has happened to you, you would not be here.

You know nothing of that.

I know everything about that.

[The Prince quiets and leans on his non-infected arm, hoping that the darkness would find distraction elsewhere than his past.]

What in Shaharazad's tales is that? Are we under attack?

The House is trying to kill us Prince. First by separating us with words and now with explosive devices.

It sounds like we are being bombarded by the Far East! Where are these attacks coming from? It seems as if they are---

[a loud explosion blows the door off of his room and Dastan storms out into the hallway with a battle cry]

...

...where are these fiends? I will run my blade through them!

[It is deep in the night, close to maybe 2 or 3 am. The halls are almost silent except for the sound of rustling of chains as Dark Prince swings through the hallway, using his daggertail to wrap around the light fixtures before uncurling it to catch onto the next light fixture. Normally Dastan can keep Dark Prince to the most part under control but all of the hate and anger in the House as a result of the truth-telling has fed Dark Prince to the point of allowing him to take over Dastan's body. He is completely silent except for the sounds of the chains as he swings through the hallway. For kicks and giggles, he swings towards a wall and runs along it before running his throwing his daggertail back out at the next light fixture.

His bright gold eyes fix on the stairway as he he swings towards it and lands on the banister before sliding down it to the landing. He takes a couple steps down the stairs before lassoing the daggertail around the light fixture nearest to the stairs and continuing his swinging.]

(ooc: First, before you respond watch this movie to help you understand what Dark Prince looks like and how he swings and etc.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRgx-vX51l8&feature=PlayList&p=D2730264F93BAC8F&index=15 He turns at :45 and he really starts swinging around 2:35. At 2:54 is an example of Eye of the Storm (time slow-down) and 3:04-ish, that's a time rewind that he has the ability to do too. 3:51 is an example of a speed kill as Dark Prince. Water turns him back into Dastan, which happens at 5:42. Farah's at 7:00 if you really want to see her. :3 For anyone who has played, this is right before he Mahasti boss battle which is a biiiitch.)

[After scrambling around, trying to figure out where he is, Dastan decides to attempt to smash the device on his wrist. He presses the wrong button and the voice post begins:]

Hello? …hello?

Farah?

What is this prison? No matter, I will escape. But I cannot seem to remove this strange device from my wrist.

Ow! What in Rostam’s sword is this thing? I must get back to Babylon to kill the Vizier! I must undo the destruction of my kingdom… again.

<What have you done now Prince?>

Be quiet! I am trying to find someone to speak to. I am not you and you are not me.

<You continue to claim that and yet you rely on my strength.>

You are an infection!

<Just find some way to silence these screaming creatures.>

I will not kill children.

[The device clicks off as he smashes the wrist device against something again, attempting in vain to remove it.]
