“JIM!!!”
Borderline / sprinting / at him to embrace him in a hug .
“ Is it really you? Not a devious spectre or a hallucination ? No figment of imagination ?! “
He pulled away to inspect his face , then — hugged him even closer .
“ Oh , Jim …”
Getting all blubbery,
++
Jim was in the middle of cooking dinner just one room over, apron and all - when he sensed a Ghostly Presence in the living room.
Gulp. peeking into the living room, spatula still in hand, and—
“GASSSP!” he said, aloud, eyes shooting open.
@THEIRACTOR
Whimpy blubbering loser. He pulled himself up and wiped his hands over his face.
“Fine — please ,..”
To see his family again before god knows what would happen. If nothing else, that would be satisfying.
++
His shoulders lowered, a solemn expression replacing the angered one.
“Please.” He begged, voice suddenly sounding heavy. His knees wobbled, then gave out, leaving him gripping the pale ground below them for support,
“Jim and little Jim… they’ll understand.”
Throughout all of Darkiplier’s explanation, Jim’s rage simmered. After all, how could he trust this monster after what happened last time, and the time before that? The fact that this same being imprisoned him here didn’t help, either.
But it fell apart with the offer.

@ThePinkMenace_ “I don’t know either. However we … swapped, though, maybe we can swap again. I just need to… remmeber.”
He ran a hand through his - well , Mark’s - hair .
++
Fear tangled his insides as Dark’s cold hand grabbed him. He pulled himself away,
“I get that I was stupid to trust him, but haven’t you punished me enough? What if he goes out there and / hurts my son / ?”
“Hindering him? What about my brother, Jim? My parents, Mother Jim and father Jim? Little Jim? What about / my / life ? Leaving me here with nothing for — for / I don’t even know how long / , just waiting for Mark to get bored of / whatever he ‘ s doing —?!”
++
Whipping around on his heel with a growl,
"BEGONE!! DEMON!!!!! I am finished with your games of mischief!!! I need to go home, and if you aren't going to help get my body back--"
Lip wobbling. He scowls.
