All my life I've been good but now I'm thinking what the hell (Forward dated to release)

[A: Violent]

[Today, Sephiroth is prowling the streets. And to those who know him, or who have talked to him on the phone, he'll be borderline unrecognizable. There's an air of dangerous purpose to his movements, and his eyes - already bright from mako - are blazing. (The particularly observant may note stitches on his head.)

And if he sees anyone - drone or otherwise - he'll be making a beeline for them. There's nothing subtle in the air of menace around him; even though he's visibly unarmed, you'd probably be better off running.]

[B: Lucid]

[In the immediate aftermath of hurting or killing anyone, Sephiroth returns to his usual mindset, and can be communicated with normally - for a brief time - before the pain and violent compulsions start to recur. Anyone can luck out and find him during these lucid moments; you'll have to keep up with him during these moments, however, since he's frantically looking for a way to restrain himself before he loses control of himself again. This is easier said than done, given how strong he is and how little time he has between lapses.]

[OOC: Sephiroth is currently under the effects of experimentation, which is swinging him back and forth between his normal self and needing to harm/kill others! While you can pick either scenario, the nature of his experiment means that he can go from violent to lucid during a thread if you want, or vice versa! Also, HE WILL TRY TO HURT OR KILL YOUR CHARACTER IN SCENARIO A, so please be aware!]

[Sephiroth blinks when the pressure is suddenly gone, and he finds himself with a boy on his chest rather than an elephant. He makes no effort to move, all the same - though he does take the opportunity to breathe deeply again.

So he'll be able to explain himself. That's...something of a relief. There's no excuse for his actions, but he still feels the desire to apologize - and this boy also possesses the capability to perhaps keep him from attacking anyone else. Explaining himself isn't just something he wants to do, it's something that could be vital to preventing any more incidents like this.]

I was taken last night. Something was...done to me. [He - slowly, as non-threateningly as possible - raises a hand to his head, pushing his hair away from the stitches there.] I keep losing control of myself - becoming violent. I only regain control of myself after I've hurt someone...or killed them. It's happened several times now, but I haven't yet found a way to restrain myself before I lose control again.

...I thought perhaps you could stop me.
