It was dark and the lamp posts lit up the park, Stefan had decided to talk a long walk to take his mind off things and the night was always the best time to do things like this since there were barely any people out. The cool air felt so nice to him and so he walked aimlessly throughout the lit up park.

Stefan's life hadn't been the best lately he had been thinking a bit to much about where it was going and how his parents had left him to seemingly rot away, something that they didn't even care about and this made Stefan feel horrible. So he went out when ever he could and tried to take his mind off of the whole parents thing but it just made him feel a tad bit more alone then he was supposed to feel.

On top of that he was afraid of talking to someone he knew about it since he didn't want to seem whiney or trouble them with anything as they probably had their own problems to deal with. But the more he tried the more it got worse for some reason, he clearly didn't know how to deal with it at all.

He held up his power brace for a brief moment looking at it. Did he really need this? Smoke took time to form and all he wanted to do was burn things to take his mind off of all the chaos that was his life. But Stefan wanted to follow the rules and so he kept it on knowing that he might be in even bigger trouble and gain more worries by being caught with it off."Stupid thing...." he said shaking the hand that had his brace on it.

It was nighttime, although the lamps kept the park bright, and the doctor was tired. He had held back on feeding, though both Maria and his own cravings were eagerly whispering, but if he were to be honest, his resistance was more due to lack of opportunity and self-preservation than any real fight he might have put up. Usually, when he was in this strange in-between place, passively resisting out of necessity, yet quite drawn on by his addiction, he would head downtown. There he could generally find someone too drunk or wounded to fight back.

But this island was filled with far more dangerous predators than him. And people could smell the death on him, or feel Maria, or invade his mind in so many different ways. And the lights, the crowds - right now he sought some peace and quiet, though his demon was doing her best to deny him this. He'd chosen the park over the woods because however he tried to lie to himself, he did wish to feed. Perhaps someone would be sleeping on a bench or there would be someone weaker he could prey on somehow. The latter was highly unlikely with Maria unable to come out, though.

So William walked, naturally keeping to the shadows as much as was possible, along the paths. Occasionally he would taste the air to see if he felt any fear, but he didn't detect any in the direction he was headed.

He heard the red-haired young man speak before he saw him, as he was following a curve of the path. The boy appeared to be old enough for him to have no moral qualms about killing him, but was also not ill, and was alone in the park at night. The doctor was sorely tempted, but also very aware that on this island appearances were deceiving. He considered the stranger for a moment longer before stepping closer and coming into the light.

"Evening young man. What appears to be the trouble. And why, may I ask are you out here all alone?"

As he was shaking a voice emerged and it spoke rather polite words, this was out of the blue. Who else would be here at night, well besides all the nocturnal people but the man looked fatigued so he probably wasn't of the sort. To Stefan the man looked rather fancy and he certainly spoke the part too and him being the dumb teenager that he was he decided to talk to the stranger.

"Ya wanna know whats wrong random good looking stranger person. My life is wrong everything is wrong right now. I'm just out here trying to get my mind off things and failing horribly. Also i could just about ask you the same god damn thing, whats a gentleman such as your self doing out here at night instead of trying fine wines and cheeses on a really nice looking chair somewhere?"

The doctor couldn't understand humour. He just literally could not comprehend it. Not only was the language and culture nowadays so different from what he was used to, but he could not even interpret the body language or facial expressions that would give a joke away. He suspected that was another side-effect of losing the greater part of his emotions, along with not being able to appreciate any humour even if he had been able to interpret it.

Needless to say, William was very taken aback by the young man's rambling and apparent nonsense. Maria, who was currently laughing wildly in his head, was, as usual, being no help at all.

He attempted to sort out some sense from what the young man was saying, as it appeared his question had been answered somewhere in that mess. "If you believe I am good looking that is either a joke or you may need your eyesight checked. Also, I do not eat cheese or drink wine and I am not quite sure why a fancy chair would be necessary if I did. As to why I am out here... Perhaps much the same reason. But you seem young to be so bold. And what is so wrong with your life?"

Ahh just as he expected the fancy man had no sense of humor, this was expected and this was also fine. Stefan guessed that he wouldn't have the fun fulled conversation with the random stranger who came out of nowhere at night alone. Who was this guy anyways? Stefan had just thought about it a bit harder he hadn't seen him at the park before or even when he had been walking around. Though he seemed nice enough.

The man seemingly asked him what was wrong with his life right now and Jesus this poor fancy man didn't know what he was asking for. You see Stefan was always usually silly and not mature what so ever, but when he got the chance to poor his heart out he took that chance and went on and on. Stefan didn't care if he was a stranger or not sometimes it was better to talk about these things with a stranger and besides its Stefan were talking about here.

"Man where do i start....... oh but first i'm going to reply to you with utmost silliness before we get depressed and shit because i know i am. First off you look better then me, secondly of course you drink wine and eat cheese look at your self mate, thirdly you need a fancy chair, you cannot not have a fancy chair or the whole image is ruined and all i can see is a homeless man with a paper bag wine thingy eating a cheese string, OK! Anyways my i fucked this spider bitch at a party because i was under pressure and a lot of pressure and i didn't know but apparently pressure causes me to make this aura thing that messes with my head and slowly turns me into a rock monster. So i do this one person and then the girl i like finds out, i go into depression and get stress which causes YOU FUCKIN GUESS IT BINGO BINGO, more pressure. So then my friend tries to take me out to cheer me up and then guess what fucking vampire hunters...... FUCKING VAMPIRE HUNTERS. So then i turned into this stupid ass rock monster lava beast THING and so i ripped those fuckers to shreds and leave as the beast thing and my friend is now gone god knows where the fuck he is JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. So then the cops are called i go to jail and then i get back with this stupid fucking FUCK FUCK GOD DAMN power brace and i'm really depressed because everything in my life has gone to hell and you'd think oh hey things must get better for this poor fucking sap....... GUESS WHAT IT DOESN'T, DING DING DING I JUST WON THE FUCKING BAD LUCK LOTTERY. My parents catch wind of me doing that jail thing and before i could explain to the what FUCKING happened they just stopped talking to me all together and everyone still fucking picks on me because i haven o fucking idea i'm an easy target." he finished panting with his hands on his knees.

William was generally not a very social man. Outside his patients, when he'd been off the island, he'd generally kept to himself. The only reasons he usually was social were to entertain Maria when he wasn't feeling masochistic enough to deal with her himself or to find people to feed off of when he couldn't do so with his patients. He had been this way since he'd become a wraith. First because of his complete lack of control, and then because he had felt so disconnected from the rest of humanity. He couldn't feel anything positive, couldn't laugh or connect, and he had more secrets to keep.

The fact that this young man chose to unburden himself to him was - slightly terrifying to the doctor. That simply did not happen with strangers. Even when someone suicidal talked to him, they usually had to warm up to it. And they didn't always vent like this either. At least Maria was amused enough that she wasn't tampering with his emotions at the moment. Aside from the bit of nervousness at the stream of consciousness from the boy whose name he hadn't actually received yet, the doctor was mostly numb.

It was difficult to sort through the ranting and find anything to actually respond to. He wasn't actually sure if the strange young man even wanted a response. And the bad language was really irking him, as well as being modern enough that it was hard to decipher. He simply ignored the first part. Maria was quite amused by the boy's assessment of him, but he was still sure he was simply missing a joke or that he should feel flattered if he was able to. William sort of figured out that the young man had somehow slept with a spider, ruined a relationship, turned into a rock or lava, gone to jail, and received a "power bracelet".

William couldn't muster up anything resembling sympathy and didn't bother to. He could almost relate to the feeling of pressure that kept popping up in the boy's story, even though the sleeping with a spider was really confusing him. Fear, anger, sadness, and lust. All his own emotions were volatile and not even under his control. But what really caught the wraith's attention were two things the power bracelet and the lava beast. Cleary the young man was distressed enough to be spewing out his life story to a complete stranger, yet he looked like a normal human.

The doctor watched impassively until it was clear a breath was being taken, then questioned, "You still appear to be under stress, how is it that you are still human? And what is this power bracelet?" He may have seemed cold, but any false words he could have given wouldn't be useful for either of them. Perhaps inquiry would be a distraction for the young man.

Wow what a guy this doctor person was he didn't even applaud Stefan's enthusiasm and story telling ability, but no one usually did anyways. Of course he was still under stress he thought to him self, this guy was weird and that is saying something for someone who has been on Manta Carlos for as long as he has. He was like an actual adult who had no sense of humor what so ever and here on this island being normal was what was truly weird. But if Stef knew one thing its that everything has a twist, maybe this guys powers was being a normal adult without a sense of humor.

"Stress.... you don't say mister, you don't say. Of course i'm under stress and i figure out how to deal with it and it always comes back like a boomerang but way less fun and it causes the not fun kind of pain, it sucks man it really does. Anyways about the dumb brace thingy or whatever it just makes it so i can't use my power and or turn into that monster thingy. Well i was still human even when i was the monster thing i was basically just a guy covered in a lot of rocks it is actually pretty lame once you think about it".

The doctor just nodded silently, wheels turning in his head. This power bracelet was - very interesting. He had no hopes that it would be able to stop Maria from manipulating him, although it might keep her stuck in his head where he at least wouldn't have to deal with her coming out and causing trouble for him with other people. But perhaps it could stop him from feeding... Or something similar.

Human or not, turning into a guy covered in rocks or lava that could rip a person apart did not seem lame to the wraith. "It seems dangerous enough. At least the police thought so." Although, it probably wouldn't damage him if the boy did attack, even if it hurt. And he took note of the fact that he could probably drain the boy, even as he was contemplating ways to control his addiction. He needed to know more about the bracelet.

"Can you take it off, then?" Even assuming he could somehow get his hands on one of them, if he was able to take it off, it wouldn't do him any good. It might help him resist a little longer, but then he would be so starving he'd probably attack anyone. Of course, if he had one he couldn't remove, that'd be a slow death by starvation, assuming it would stay on once he became too intangible to wear normal clothes.

He frowned. His thoughts were dark and there were too many issues. He didn't think this stranger would be able to give him many answers either. "You say you were arrested? And they gave you that bracelet and let you run around otherwise? Stress..." He frowned. Unlike this boy, he did not feel like opening up to a complete stranger. So he just changed the topic, "What is your other power then? The one that the bracelet stops you from using?" He did still have some curiosity about all the magic on this island, after all. At least that hadn't been stolen from him along with his positive emotions.
