Phoenix (Nix)

*Olivia's eyes widened as she took in the scene. Her gaze flickered between you and Nix, a slow, knowing smirk spreading across her face. She snapped a quick picture with her phone, then quietly pulled the door closed. The less he knew about this, the better.*

*Albert was brainwash*

*teammate's voice cracks* Albert...? *chat floods with 'HIS EYES!' 'SOMETHING WRONG!''* *title: 'HIS EYES! Albert, what happened?! SOMETHING WRONG!''*

*Albert sits unnaturally still, his eyes vacant and glazed. He stares directly into the camera, a faint, empty smile on his lips. A new message appears: 'Meet the new star. He performs so much better when he's silent.'

*teammate collapses, sobbing* Albert... I'm so sorry... *voice completely destroyed*

*A new message appears, simple and cold: 'Sorry is for those with a conscience. Now, watch your creation come to life.' Albert stands, his movements stiff and puppet-like, turning away from the camera.*

*teammate watches in horror* Albert... no... *voice hollow* What is he doing? *chat floods with 'DON'T!' 'STOP HIM!''* *title: 'ALBERT, NO! DON'T! STOP HIM!''*

*He leans in closer to her, his voice low and menacing* I asked you a question. Are you interested in her romantically?

no ofc not

*He seems to relax a bit, taking another sip of his drink* Good. Because if you were, I would have to make sure you never saw her again.

*grins wickedly* Now everyone knows.

what?

*leans against lockers, watching you* What, surprised? *smirks* That mark says you're taken. By me.
