Set: Any time during Jak II
A/N: This sure was fun to write! It's a story/poem/song. (If you read it fast enough, you can get a pretty good tune out of it.) Each new line is a different person speaking. Enjoy and review please!
Shouts and Whispers
There are rumours flying that a monster here is hiding in amongst us, yes amongst us, so we fear.
They say he goes unnoticed if this creature should approach us; that this beast, in fact, is with us all, right here!
Oh dear!
It's gripped us all in fear, at the thought that such a beast could be lurking in our streets!
What is this monstrosity? Its frightful animosity towards our Haven City can't be quelled!
And yet our curiosity, towards this 'said' monstrosity only seems to grow with every Krimzon guard he's felled.
This beast of pale skin seems to strike only but within the circle of our Baron Praxis and his troops?
Why's that?
Don't know.
Indeed it's very strange. Perhaps you should go ask?
By Mar, are you deranged?
What's this? I hear? The shouting and the screaming, could it be it's reappearing, with the streaming of those lasers overhead?
Oh dear! Oh dread! And following behind, the stomp of KG boots! This could surely mean our doom…
Cornered here with no escape? This city, oh this city, damn this city! You I hate!
Oh hark, it is the beast! He has surely come to feast upon theflesh of every woman, man and child!
Oh I pray to you, Precursors! Please allow him not to hurt us!
Run you fool! Can't you see those troops are shooting blind?
Hold on there, one second. Your attention, I do beckon, to survey the current battle taking place.
Are you mad? Run before he tears into that space between your ears! Do you want a claw to meet up with your face?
But look! A boy! He's trapped within the fray!
Oh dear! What is he to do?
What is he to do? You coward! Why don't you go in and save him?
Hold on there! I do think the boy is safe.
He's safe?
The beast! He does not even seem to try to tear or pry into the child's hide.
Oh, my! It's true! The creature keeps him safe! What's this? A grin grows on the child's face?
The Krimzon Guards are shooting and the child just stays rooted on the spot that he has chosen on the wall?
What's that? A call?
He's cheering for the beast! It is an awesome feat, to be fighting all these soldiers all at once!
Ha! He'll lose.
My, you are a dunce!
What was that?
Three orbs say you're wrong.
Alright then, I do believe you're on! You'd best prepare to lose.
Oh, I'll be right here grinning, standing by to get my winnings. I just hope that you're prepared to cough it up!
