JAWS 11: PAST HAUNTING BACK!

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart was excited to see that box in front of his house. Maybe it'd give him another power back? Or soem of his old Rock 'n Roll posters from home. He gleefully tore the box open and... screams! Very loudly.]

Action:

[In front of 914 Bilko Blvd, you can find Mart freaking out and scrambling to try and collect or destroy the pile of old Yearbooks that spilled from the box. If you look closely enough you can see one of the fallen yearbooks has opened to a page reading MARTHA VINEYARD: NEW INNSMOUTH HIGH'S BIGGEST LOSER! With the accompanying picture among many others and articles of his humiliations during High School http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/110772997/37408882 if you read further, you can find all kinds of interesting and humilating tid-bits of Mart's past.]

Phone [Not Filtered]: Okay, where is it!? I know someone out there took one of the books on my lawn, so you better give it back!

[Slugger looks up at Mart as the book is swiped from his hands. He'll then glance at the others that are still spilled in the yard.]

What are these?

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

They're none of your damn business!

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[He raises his head a little more. Cue confused blinking and staring. Why so mad?]

...

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Just... leave me alone...

[Mart'll start trying to collect the books.]

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Slugger turns to leave... but watches Mart instead. He's curious and he honestly doesn't see what's so funny about it.]

...Why did they say those things?

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Because people hated me, okay!

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Why? Did you bite them? [It isn't a facetious question, though it may sound that way.]

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

No.... but they beat me up a lot...

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Mart got bullied?]

But you're half god.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah... but my abilities took some time to grow into. Didn't fully develop till I was 17.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

Oh.

So why'd they do it?

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Because I was weak. Shy. Fish like.

Lots of reasons.

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

[Slugger knows the type. He'll look away from Mart to the books again.]

These are your regains? Sucks.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I dunno what the town's trying to pull on me, but it sucks.

A lot.

You ever regain something awful?

[strike-you-out.livejournal.com]

You could burn them.

[jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com]

Oh believe me, I'm gonna.
