(
Dude looks like a laaaaaaaaady~! )
"--Jack, eh?" he idly checked his fingernails as he spoke, examining them for imaginary grit and dirt as shards of wood cut through his intangible frame in the dozens. "You wouldn't be related to that Ripper fellow everyone was going on and on about a twenty or so years ago, would you?" he splayed his fingers, extending his arm up toward the pale moonlight streaming in through the window. "He's a bit before my time, I'm afraid. I didn't travel to England until well into my teens."
He smiled down at Grell when he finished, his normally light honey brown eyes shifting toward an almost incandescent gold in the darkness. Really, what had made him think a berserk charge would have worked? Did he take his employer for a fool? A weakling? A troglodyte that had never seen a threat in his life? Pah! It was an insult, is what it was! And the fact that Grell had so obviously killed some random human before trying for Tyki was just another layer of disrespect to add on top of everything else, if not an outright slap in the face besides. After all, Tyki had been completely honest with Grell whenever the need arose, hadn't he? The least the man could do was return the courtesy.
"I will say this, though," he started, nearly shouting over the noise of the chainsaw. "You do know how to charm a man." here, he took a step forward to invade the redhead's personal space, Grell's arm sinking into and through Tyki as the Noah leaned in close and reached out to gently stroke the side of his butler's face. "Kudos. I might've been flattered had you not tried to kill me."
In an instant, Tyki's gentle touch turned into an open-handed slap, his hand rearing back in the blink of an eye to try and strike the delicate, angular face before him. If Grell took the blow, Tyki's strength should have forced him to his knees, where he'd follow with a sharp knee and kick to the face in an effort to knock the redhead to the floor.
"--Might have."
It occurred to Tyki, distantly, that said floor was going to be a bitch clean when this was all over.

Unluckily enough, Grell had never been one for tactics. When it came to thinking strategically, his only real plan was to attack in a frenzy too much for his opponent to keep up with - so faced with an opponent he couldn't cut, things turned badly very quickly. The comment about his charm was an intrinsic pleasure to hear, and he might have been delighted with it if the compliment was paid in better circumstances, but he could neither answer Tyki's question nor say a word about the compliment. He tried to pull back and out of range the moment the hand came back, but the chainsaw was stuck fast and as he wouldn't abandon his only weapon, caught the slap across the face. Instead of just taking the blow, however, once he was on his knees he stuck his foot through Tyki's legs and against the wall, jerking his chainsaw free. He used the blade of it to deflect most of the kick's force, though he had taken the knee to the jaw in the process, bracing it against the considerable strength hidden in his lithe frame, gritting his razor sharp teeth in a snarl.
"How dare you," Grell spat, genuine rage in his tone. "You have the audacity to strike my face?" It was obvious any playing he had been doing (though it was difficult to discern playful attempts to dismember someone from the regular ones) was over and he was genuinely pissed off now. Grell revved the chainsaw threateningly, waiting for the next move. He hated being on the defensive, but it was all he could do while looking for a weakness.

"You do wear crimson so well, though." he explained using that same purring tone, that same dulcet voice hanging between a threat of violence and sex. He hadn't figured out whether or not outright terror would bother Grell more than outright violence would, so he settled on a mixture of the two, immediately lashing out with a booted foot aimed at the hand Grell was using to hold onto his weapon, hoping to separate tool from master. He followed with yet another invasion of privacy, stepping through whatever Grell would throw at him next, his smile widening, his eyes glinting in the moonlight, irises full of reflected disaster.
"Maybe I should tear out your hair, if you value your face so much." He laughed, low, dangerous, his hand reaching out to try and grab those red, red tresses. "I hear it's rather painful."

"You're not playing fairly with me, Tyki." Grell chided, frustrated despite himself. "Tch! Only the criminal make the games unwinnable."
All of a sudden he heard the last statement, and his vanity screamed at the idea. But there was too much to get out of the way and he felt the pinch of grabbed hair with what wasn't quite a wince, and wasn't quite a snarl in his throat. His free hand came up to attempt a grab on Tyki's hand, because in his mind, being grabbed must mean tangibility, and maybe, just maybe, he could land blows that way.
"You just can't keep your hands off of me, can you?" His tone was less teasing than straight aggressive. "I thought you were a gentleman."
Reply
"And you aren't dead yet, are you?" he chided, leaning in, leg bending to allow him to get closer to Grell. "That's the mark of a gentleman if I ever saw one. I could've killed you right when you were trying to open the window from the outside, and I didn't. I gave you the chance to explain yourself."
He hated duplicitousness. Hated it. Liars were some of the worst kind of people, and here was Grell, one of the very few that Tyki felt he could feel kinship to, and their entire relationship was based on a lie. His grip tightened even more as his free hand came up to caress Grell's face again, the gentle stroke of his thumb against the redhead's cheek meant to be a rather ironic contrast to the pain he had to have been in.

"The mark of a predator." His words were strained, but remained relatively disobedient. "You gave me the opportunity to trap myself with you. You're far from a gentleman, Tyki Mikk-" He managed a strained smile, a sly one, and leaned as much as the foot on his chest would allow upwards towards Tyki. "-You're far from man - something even further unto God than I. What are you?"
His neck cracked loudly and he finally screamed - a high fey noise - and he let go of his scythe to grab at the hand in his hair, baring his teeth in a pained snarl. His lip was bleeding freely now, down his chin - he hadn't realized how badly he'd bitten himself, more concerned with what Tyki was doing to him. At the stroke across his cheek he opened his eyes again and gave an insolent glare, but couldn't do much more vocally than whimper.
A beating he could take - torture wasn't something he was used to.

"Oh, I'm many things, Grell." he whispered, grinning from ear to ear as the line of crosses tattooed across his forehead came into view, almost as if some unseen brand were burning them into his flesh. "But Godlike is not one of them. Far from it, in actuality."
Joyd cooed and cawed in the back of his mind, tendrils of anger and hatred, of need and Pleasure threading through his veins, exciting him, making every moment tense and breathless. He licked his lips almost hungrily at Grell's high, tortured scream, his eyes taking in all of the sight of it, devouring the image of the man arching away from his tight grasp, slender white neck bared and beautifully oval eyes shut tight for that moment, that plateau of pain he had caused him to reach.
"Do you know the story of Noah?" he asked, idly rubbing some of Grell's fine hair between his index finger and thumb. "And not the one put out by the church, but how it all happened afterward?"
Oh, it felt good. It felt so, so good. As the chainsaw fell out of Grell's hands with a loud, jarring clatter, Tyki took a moment to kick the thing away, his grip easing up for a moment that left Grell's soft hair slack in his hands. Hopefully, the Noah had distracted Grell with his question -- he had learned, before, that pain was almost never enough to keep curiosity at bay -- long enough to allow him to yank him forward by the hair, with Tyki taking his position behind Grell as the chainsaw skidded away.

The slap caught him by total surprise, and where had his glasses gone? They'd been knocked off by the force of the abuse, and though his vision wasn't horrifically bad, the sharp outline of the home, Tyki, the curious way his blood had made oval spatters on the floor, they'd all become slightly fuzzy outlines. He leveled a stare at Tyki just in time to see the crosses, more of a impetuous glare than anything, but didn't say a word.
He'd been in the middle of forming another sentence, of reaching desperately after his kicked chainsaw, when Tyki suddenly yanked him, and his mouth clicked lockjaw closed for a moment. He yelped; more pain, more blood, when had he bitten his tongue so badly? Grell was dripping freely down his chin and onto the floor now, down his neck and staining his already bloodstained clothes. It wasn't much of a loss there.
"Do you enjoy beating women, Tyki?" Grell was past terror by now, just drenched in dread and resignation. And his own blood. There wasn't a point to licking his lips anymore - his entire mouth was coated in the taste of bitter-sour copper. "Is there a point to this, or is it for sport? I do hate being the killjoy, but I don't break. If you weren't insistent on marring my beautiful face, I may even have enjoyed it."
It was basically taunting the devil, but at this point, Grell wasn't sure if he even cared.

The way the Grell was speaking -- and, that, in and of itself spoke volumes of his character -- meant that Tyki hadn't caused enough pain, that he hadn't hurt him much. The blood and the screams were commonplace, something that any sadomasochist would go through when in this position; Tyki realized then, quite abruptly, that it would take more than just a small amount of creativity to make the man truly hurt. He leaned in close, pulling back on that long, vermilion hair while making sure to breathe hot into Grell's ear, his voice coming out not much higher than a whisper. "Women are, I find, weak-willed by nature," he explained, his free hand running over the muscles cordoned in Grell's taut neck, up the side of his face and his now-bruising cheek. "It's why I rather prefer to torture men," here, he leaned into Grell, lips barely brushing against the curve of his ear, his hand coming to rest on his temple. "They have more to lose."
At the word lose, Tyki slid his hand into Grell's temple, fingertips going intangible as they sunk into the flesh and came to rest right behind Grell's eyeball.
"--You can't see much of what I'm doing without your glasses, can you?"

He winced at the tugging - his scalp was so sore - and in any other situation, might have found this arrangement, the touches, the blood, might have found it erotic. Right now though, he just wanted it over. It wasn't fun.
"Do you torture often?" He didn't doubt it. He also didn't really anticipate an answer, and with the fingers being intangible, didn't feel them. "My vision is near perfect. They're for fashion, mostly." He remained blissfully oblivious to what was happening at the moment, voice full of resignation and exhaustion. The fire had more or less drained out of him tonight.
"This is like sex to you, isn't it?" It was Grell's turn to chuckle, mentally preparing himself for whatever "much of what I'm doing" must entail. He knew the feeling; not induced by torture, no, but by his special brand of carnage. "Such a gorgeous feeling, isn't it?"
Reply
He really did have beautiful eyes.
Hm.
It was rather off putting, Grell's calmness. Tyki knew as well as the next person that death wasn't permanent in this place -- which was even more off putting, come to think of it -- but, the man could have at least had the decency to be afraid of what was going to happen next. Sheesh. There wouldn't be much fun in just ending his life this way.
Change of plans, then.
"Near perfect, eh?" He made only the tips of his fingers tangible, and Choose to have his touch affect only the back of Grell's eye, his opposite hand coming to rest on the underside of the redhead's neck, holding him there. "We're different in that, as well. You enjoy watching others die."
At the word die, he caressed the back of Grell's eye with his fingertips, a feather-soft touch at best. If it wasn't excruciating pain, Tyki didn't know what would be.
"I merely watch them for their faces."

The noise he made was something high-pitched that turned into screaming.
It was loud, and he went rigid with the pain, and still through all of his writhing and wailing and attempts to get loose and dismember this man, he really couldn't do anything but look at Tyki. And then, gradually, the screams turned into moans and then whimpers - but there were no tears. His eyes watered at best, but he just couldn't cry. Grell was done. He wasn't built for torture, he was built to kill and look pretty. And right now, he just really wanted to tear something apart.
Grell more or less went slack, signaling his surrender.

He chuckled, then bent Grell back more than he really should have, trying to inflict just a bit more pain onto him. When he was done, very slowly, Tyki eased his free hand down the front Grell's face, languidly spider-walking his fingers down his skull, his forehead, the bridge of his nose and then to his -- soft, pouted, crimson -- lips, holding there for a moment to see what the man would do in his groggy state.
"--You know, I almost thought I could trust you."
There was a heaviness to his voice, a sort of...sadness, as if he regretted that Grell had betrayed his confidence in such a way. Outside of Monet and, perhaps, Knives, Tyki hadn't found many people he would honestly call "Friends" in the City. It was strange. He hadn't -- Tyki let out a dissatisfied sigh, shrugging to no one in particular. No time to dwell on that; whatever the twinge of emotion was, it passed as soon as it came. There was more important things to things do at the moment. Like trying to force his fingers into Grell's mouth and choke him from the inside out -- he hadn't done that one in awhile.
"Pity."
He tried to force open the man's lips with two fingers, at first, dragging the digits across his bloodied lips for a moment. He knew it would have drove the redhead wild, were he in his right mind. He seemed the type to enjoy being controlled when not in excruciating pain.

He gave a more or less pouty expression while complying, and if Tyki stuck his fingers into his mouth, would give a very teasing, warning brush of teeth against fingers, giving a half-lidded glare. His quiet way of saying - but not really saying - if it's in my mouth, I can bite it if I feel like it.
Unless they were intangible, that quirk that pissed Grell off to no end. Then he couldn't do anything but wait.

His smile would've made the Cheshire Cat himself proud.
Once that was done with, Tyki would try to ease his fingers down through Grell's mouth, slowly making more and more of his hand, wrist, and eventually, a good portion of his forearm intangible when any real flesh came just this close of triggering Grell's gag-reflex.
"--You never answered my question, by the way. I think now would be as good a time as any to be specific on what you know and don't."
Reply
"Know of what?" Grell huffed, having reverted to childish impetuousness. He had regained some semblance of himself, and now wouldn't be either combative or particularly helpful. He'd tried both, and it was obvious that neither placated Tyki Mikk. The feeling of intangible fingers down his throat made him feeling like gagging, but it was frustratingly not quite enough to do so and get it over with.
"You'll have to decide what to do with me soon, Tyki Mikk." He stared on boredly, blankly, plain irritation crossing his face. "I wouldn't wish to overstay my welcome, which is obviously nonexistent. I'm certainly not the Grell Sutcliffe you knew - I'm far better, far more coordinated and intelligent and anything other than that stupid and useless facade. I hope you didn't like him - I certainly didn't." He let out a 'tch', averting his eyes to the wonderfully interesting scar in the paneling, offhandedly licking his lips once - pure habit, really. "And I hope you don't think this torture is endearing you to me. I'm naturally attracted to cold and distant men, and both my dear William and devilish Sebastian did get a little rough at times, but it can only go so far before you're the only one having fun here."
Luckily for Grell, his moods were as flippant and indecisive as the wind - his way to cope with what would be traumatizing to a normal human was to be tortured one second and then bored with it another.
