The Daily Life Of Anonymous

Forgiveness

Author's Note:

Cursed green text shall be put here in order, unobstructed for those who find difficulty reading it.

1."Hello again. Human."

2."You cannot get rid of me that easy."

3."What will they say when they figure it out?"

4."When they find out what you really are."

5."I see your thoughts, your memories. I see how close you are to breaking. Always so weak."

6."We are not persuaded by your words. We do not have the shallow desires your kind has."

7."I thought I had more time. Just remember, we know what you are."

Anon stirs awake. His eyes open to what seems to be an endless, black void. The floor gives off a light metallic sheen, making it easily distinguishable from the sky. Before he could utter a word, a foul green cloud forms a metre in front of him. Unsure of what is going on, Anon decides to take a stance and wait.

The human does not have to wait long, however, as the cloud forms into a wooden wolf. A collection of twigs and branches he has seen before. Dropping his stance, the human scowls at the formed cloud. In return, it just smiles.

"ℍ̪͗𝕖͓͛𝕝͚͊𝕝͍ͩ𝕠͖ͯ ̲̓𝕒̻̿𝕘̼ͩ𝕒̙͐𝕚̭ͨ𝕟͍ͦ.͓̄ ̰̈ℍ̫͑𝕦̤ͩ𝕞̩̋𝕒͎ͮ𝕟͔̽"

Anon swipes the smoke, disrupting it as the momentum forced it apart. It does not take long however for it to reshape as the human walks past.

"𝕐͔͋𝕠̟̋𝕦̝͐ ̻ͧ𝕔̥ͮ𝕒̗̈́𝕟͎ͩ𝕟̩̌𝕠͇ͮ𝕥͈͋ ͓ͧ𝕘̪͒𝕖͖̓𝕥͍̚ ̻̑𝕣̣ͪ𝕚̺͗𝕕̗̘̊ͩ ͍̈𝕠͔ͥ𝕗͔̔ ̻́𝕞̮̌𝕖̪͛ ̜̿𝕥̻̎𝕙̍ͅ𝕒͔́𝕥͕͐ ͚̈́𝕖͚͗𝕒̖ͩ𝕤̤ͤ𝕪̬ͮ" The smoke states, its voice echoes between the nothingness as it floats past Anon. The human in return continues walking, not giving the creature even a glance in response.

It swirls around Anon, keeping up with his paced walking. "𝕎͔ͯ𝕙͓̀𝕒̩̐𝕥͎̉ ̗ͬ𝕨̹ͤ𝕚̞ͬ𝕝͕̓𝕝̺̊ ̯ͮ𝕥̖ͭ𝕙̯ͭ𝕖͔͊𝕪̯̽ ̰̔𝕤̯̏𝕒̟ͣ𝕪̱̃ ̦̋𝕨͍̆𝕙͍̇𝕖̠͋𝕟̼̎ ̥̓𝕥̺̅𝕙̳̿𝕖̬ͭ𝕪͎ͨ ͖̎𝕗͍̇𝕚̞̈́𝕘ͣͅ𝕦̲̌𝕣̞ͯ𝕖̙̉ ̥ͭ𝕚̭̏𝕥͕ͥ ̗͛𝕠͇͛𝕦̘̈́𝕥̞ͦ?̣͐" It asks, making sure to keep eye contact with every word.

Eventually, the human stops. "Weak? I'm not the one hiding as smoke. I beat your pathetic ass once, I can do it again."

The creature laughs, but the noise comes out more as a series of short screeches. "𝕎̞̆𝕖̰ͨ ̫͐𝕒͕̈𝕣̳͆𝕖͈͋ ͙ͬ𝕟̬̌𝕠̖́𝕥̦̍ ͔͑𝕡͖͒𝕖̹͆𝕣̹͒𝕤̭͛𝕦͍͆𝕒̗ͯ𝕕͕͂𝕖̙̉𝕕̫̽ ͇͋𝕓̟̌𝕪͓̂ ̩ͣ𝕪̯ͨ𝕠̜ͯ𝕦̼̒𝕣͉̾ ͈̋𝕨̮͒𝕠̲̏𝕣͖͌𝕕͙̊𝕤̤̐.͎ͫ ͎̇𝕎̰̑𝕖̦ͨ ̘̽𝕕͉ͯ𝕠̯̓ ̯̆𝕟̭̂𝕠̜̅𝕥̥̑ ̜͊𝕙͙̉𝕒̥̀𝕧̦ͧ𝕖͇̓ ̖ͨ𝕥̪̐𝕙̟̑𝕖̾ͅ ͓̂𝕤̳ͤ𝕙͚ͪ𝕒̘̚𝕝͔̈𝕝͓̊𝕠̤͆𝕨͖̿ ̺̐𝕕̟͑𝕖̞ͣ𝕤̬ͬ𝕚͉̈𝕣̩̐𝕖̲̍𝕤͔͑ ̫̀𝕪̰̚𝕠̗̂𝕦̬̇𝕣͎̎ ̫̔𝕜̗̽𝕚̺͗𝕟̺ͨ𝕕͇̊ ̩͌𝕙̩̔𝕒͈ͣ𝕤͍́.̬̆" The creature informs. As it finishes talking, the smoke begins to sputter and drip, as if a rain cloud, before pieces of the fogged creature fall to the ground as chunks of gunk.

"𝕀̹͛ ̞ͦ𝕥̜̔𝕙̮͑𝕠̬͋𝕦͉̄𝕘̗͆𝕙̠̓𝕥̲͒ ̝͋𝕀͗ͅ ͇̒𝕙̭̇𝕒̣̓𝕕͚̈́ ͎̉𝕞̥͌𝕠̳̓𝕣͖̄𝕖͈̏ ̲ͬ𝕥̼̐𝕚̠̒𝕞͖̓𝕖̺ͣ.͉͌ ͓ͤ𝕁͉ͣ𝕦̮ͯ𝕤̩̒𝕥̗͑ ̪̄𝕣̘̅𝕖͎̚𝕞̣ͫ𝕖͍͆𝕞̼͒𝕓͖̄𝕖̙̈́𝕣̠̍,̣͌ ̜ͣ𝕨̬͐𝕖̤͂ ̻̔𝕜͈̃𝕟͇̄𝕠̱̂𝕨̪͐ ̱ͦ𝕨̳̂𝕙̮̅𝕒̗̚𝕥̗͐ ͔̂𝕪͖͐𝕠͓͋𝕦͇ͫ ̜̊𝕒̱̎𝕣͚̀𝕖̼ͬ.̬ͯ"

Most of the creature was now splattered on the floor as Anon felt a sudden dizziness hit him. Struggling to keep his balance, the human wobbled and stumbled until falling onto his back

GASP The human eyes shoot open as his lungs take in as much oxygen as possible. A bright light from above forces his to raise his hands until something prevents their movement, followed by a rattling clang. Blinking the blinding light away, the human attempts to take in his surroundings. Apart from the theme of white, it seemed to be a hospital room of some kind, but not quite finished.

A few of the foam roof panels were missing, with visible cable running towards the fluorescent bulb in the middle. Realizing he is laid down, Anon lifts his head to look at the rest of his body. While a white sheet covered it, his arms were clearly cuffed to either side of the bed's railing. His right thumb had a plastic clamp on it with wires that lead to a heart monitor. Which let out a series of fast beeps. Across the room was a small table which had a few bottles with a mortar and pestle next to it.

"Yeah that tracks." The human said looking at the cuffs. Gazing at his left hand, the human attempts to summon magic to remove the cuffs to no avail, not even a spark. Looking at the same hand more carefully. Anon notices a black ring with golden symbols that shimmered slightly. Attempting his magic again, the ring's shimmer brightened significantly before dimming down along with the human attempts. "This would have been nice to have before."

The ring seemed to be a loose fit. Using his thumb, the human attempted to push the ring up his finger. After a few minutes, the ring slid off with a bing as it hit the hospital floor. Now with his magic freed, Anon released a few tendrils of magic from his fingertips that wrapped around each other, forming a thin cylinder with a small rectangular protrusion near one end. This was the shape of the almost universal cuff key. With the tendrils still connected, Anon manipulated the key into the cuff's lock and twisted. The human felt the grip on his wrist release as he pulled his hand away, the cuff now opening fully until it slid off.

Anon had an easier time unlocking the other handcuff with his free hand. Once he was no longer shackled to the bed, the human swung his legs off the bed and stood up. Once he had taken off the plastic finger clamp, the human picked up the discarded ring and pocketed it for later. Not long after his thumb was freed, did the machine elicit a continues tone, to which was joined by a series of small but loud beeps which seemed to play out the room also.

Anon sat back on the bed as he put his shoes back on. During this, he heard a commotion outside, which joined the beeping. Not long after, the door swung open as two ponies which included Redheart and a crash cart flowed in.

The ponies stopped when they saw the human alive, Anon just gave them a quick glance as he went back to his laces. "Can you shut that off? It's annoying." The human asked simply.

Redheart sighed before turning to her colleague. "Put the cart back, please, I'll deal with this." To which her colleague simply nodded and left with the cart.

The white pony moved past Anon and pressed a few buttons on the heart monitor until is ceased all function. She then direction her attention to the human next to her, who just finished his shoe tying. "I have been briefed on the situation. I just want you to know how grave this could have been. Attempted murder, influenced or not, is still as serious as it gets here. I'm going to fetch the princess. Stay here."

Anon seemed to think about it for a moment before shrugging. "Fuck it, Not like I have anything else to do."

"And stop swearing. It's so unnecessary." Redheart said in an infuriated tone.

The pony left as she closed the door. Leaving Anon alone once again. The human tapped his knee in thought for a few seconds before sighing.

"Alex?" Anon said in a reserved tone.

Unlike before, Alex took longer to appear, Anon seemed to not comment on it.

"I'm here." Alex said simply as he stood in the corner.

Anon kept his eyes locked on the bed as his facial took on a look of frustration and anger. "I'm not going to apologise for how I felt. But I will for my actions. In my moment of weakness, it pounced. I just felt so angry."

His face changed again to a more neutral one before gaining a sly smile. "Don't get me wrong, you're still an asshole, but a useful one."

Alex seemed to smile at the comment. "I understand. I just hope someday I can do enough good to you to outweigh the bad." Alex said honestly.

"That's a tall order, but I think it's possible."

The addition has been added. Please let me know if this sort of thing would be useful for similar situations in the future, and if it is something you would like to be added as well.

This is the first time in the 6+ years i have been on this site it has happened, and that is on cell. So unless some one says something, I don't think you should worry about it.
