Who: Gojyo (
liquid_hips), Hakkai (
monocled) - open to anyone who might happen by.
When: This afternoon - Friday, 3/5
Where: The kitchen.
Summary: Hakkai's held out this long without the cookies, but Gojyo's had enough of the attempts on his life.
Rating: PG-13 for Gojyo's dirty mouth and references to somewhat gruesome past events.
Warnings: See above. Otherwise, TBA.
The truth is, both of the traveling companions are a mess. They're not used to being stuck in one place for long periods of time for any reason other than bad weather or grievous injury, really, and this place is little more than a prison. The walls are closing in on Hakkai, quite truthfully, and it really does not at all help that his own hand is trying to kill him. And anything youkai-related that comes here. Demons, youkai, they're all the same to his sadistic, serial murdering hand: they deserve to die. Unfortunately, Hakkai is now counted amidst the number of deserving.
As is Gojyo.
The attempts to gouge out his remaining eye are troublesome. It doesn't seem like so long ago that Hakkai would have done so voluntarily. He'd seriously considered breaking his own fingers to keep things from getting too out of hand - it's not as if he couldn't do it. Or that the pain even bothers him that much. But the idea of being handicapped in this place for too long is also a risk, and so, he's made other various efforts to bind or otherwise immobilize the hand. Gojyo does the same, but both of them being one-handed at it has proved... interesting.
Hakkai absolutely refuses to have his mood altered by some kind of drug. Particularly sense it also seems to alter behavior, drastically. He's a very contained person. He never even gets silly-tipsy, so why would he consent to allow himself to become some kind of flirtatious fop? It's simply out of the question.
That is, until this afternoon.
After today's escape - an attempt to choke the life out of the redhead that had, at one point, given him back his - there's really no other choice.
Or so Gojyo says. It was something along the lines of, That's it, you're eating one of those damn cookies if I have to force it down your throat.
How very vulgar.
Not for the first time, Hakkai complains politely as they enter the kitchen. "Remember that I maintain positively no culpability in this situation. Should anything embarrassing or ridiculous happen, you are not to mention it. This is per your request and I will not have you using it as fodder for blackmail or teasing."
If Gojyo would only leave him alone until this strange experiment passed, there wouldn't be a problem.
