[u][i]Well he looks a little... Different...[/i][/u]
*It was a cool, humid day in the Dojo. Dark clouds floated high in the sky, blocking out the sun. Two of the Dojo's most 'exotic' individuals were outside, sitting on the scaffolding on the inside of the Dojo wall.
Sapphire said something to Vorim'Tairn and he wrote something down on a small notebook and held it up for her to see. Sapphire hardly spoke now. She only talked when necessary because there was no way for someone to reply. What with her loss of hearing, being illiterate in English, not understanding sign language and not being able to read lips, she's basically cut off from any information other than what she sees. Vorim and Big S are the only ones in the Dojo who can write in Sphirinian, so when they aren't around, she's completely silent.
Vorim had been acting different either. Seeing him outside had become rare. In fact, seeing him at all had become rare. He already spoke rarely and and when he did speak it was almost always quiet and with a stutter. His little brother had forced him to interact with people back on Sphirinia, slowly helping him build up his confidence with people so he can eventually talk to them on his own. Since Sketch had learned to talk, he had helped Vorim, his brother who is a full three years older than him. When he mysteriously disappeared from SphirInia, Vorim had gotten to a point where he could interact with others without needing Sketch there to help him. What he had failed to consider when coming to this dimension was that it would completely reset his progress. It had taken years for Sketch to bring him up to where he was. And when the person who knew him best had disappeared, Vorim fell back down. He locked himself in his apartment, only rarely leaving to stock up on a week's worth of food before disappearing back into his apartment again. He would have still been in there if Sapphire hadn't smashed through the door and dragged him out.
It had been weeks since Sketch had been kidnapped by William. Members had chased him through three towns, but eventually turned back or had lost his trail. He was either thought to be dead or possibly a slave to someone far away.
Sapphire and Vorim were unaware of the dark creature slowly making its way up the long, winding steps to the Dojo.*
[spoiler]If you don't know what happened, read some of the chains on this post so you can be filled in on who kidnapped him and whatnot.

*The shadowy creature turns the corner. It closely resembles Sketch. It's body is exactly the same shape as Sketch's but it seems to ripple like pitch black liquid, little parts of it floating up and disappearing. It is surrounded by a grey aura as well. On it's head are two circular, glowing white eyes.*
-
Sketch? *He is confused as to what to do, but forms his sword just in case*
-
*Creature "I'm not Wolfy, dumba$$..."
-
William... Dammit it's him! What did you do with him!?
-
*William "I possessed him you idiot!" [u][b]YOU MOTHERF@&$ER!!![/b][/u]
-
*Rather than looking concerned, he actually smiles under his mask, chuckling slightly* Do you know how much you [i]f[/i][i]ucked[/i] up? *Almost instantly he tackles WilliSketch, dissolving into him. His voice can be heard through Sketch's mouth* When not directly fighting, possessing was [i]My Job[/i]! If you can get in, I sure as hell can get you out!
-
*William "HEY! GET OUT OF ME! TWO MINDS ONLY!" "Mortar? Is that you?! What's going on!? I can't feel anything!"
-
I'm here Sketch! *He tries to get to William to destroy him*
-
"Mortar! What's happening?!" *William "Um... What are you trying to do?"
-
You know VERY WELL what I'm doing William! *He starts chanting a strange incantation, one created to exorcise beings such as William*
-
*William "What is that? Are you speaking French?" "Mortar?"
-
*He doesn't answer to either of them as he continues chanting, seemingly advancing towards William in his brain. Outside this three way fight for control seems to be giving Sketch a seizure, causing him to fall, spazzing on the ground*
-
*William "Are you giving him a seizure?! Alright! Get out!" *William is an extremely strong presence. Mortar can feel himself losing his grip on Sketch's mind.*
-
It's for... His own... Good! *His presence suddenly becomes stronger, pushing William out* Get out NOW
-
*William "I... WILL... NOT!!!" *He can feel William pushing back even harder.*
-
*Mortar just keeps pushing, gradually getting harder and harder, pushing him further and further away* Stay strong Sketch!
-
"How?! What's going on?!" *William "Stop it you imbecile!"
-
Never you good for nothing jackass! *His presence keeps growing Stronger and stronger, putting a lot of stress on William*
-
*William can feel himself losing grip on Sketch.* *William "Fine! Suit yourself!" *William stops surrounding Sketch's body and Mortar can feel him leave. Sketch's mind went silent and Mortar found himself in control of Sketch's body.*
-
*"Sketch" gets up, brushing himself off. When he speaks Mortar's voice comes out* Woah, this is new
-
*Vorim is standing there, shocked. Sapphire seems to have run away.* [u][b]Sk-Sketch?! Mortar!?![/b][/u]
-
Don't worry, Sketch is safe. Though you may wanna call Ghostbusters, because William is on the run again
-
*He points to the ground, his hand trembling a little as his finger points at a black puddle of liquid which is reforming into the shape of a human. And strangely, Sketch hasn't thought a word.*
-
*Mortar quickly forms his sword but instead form's Sketch's. The blade feels too light for him* This is... New
-
*Once again, it's silent in his head. You hear a beep as if something has just connected and you get a strange feeling like the sword has just become and extension of your own body. Speaking of your body, you now have to stand on your toes.*
