Right, you miserable lot. Let's talk about succubi. That's the plural of succubus, for all of you who wanked your way through classes ( Read more... )

tainted love and/or souls, knows his demons, aftermath, my hypocrisy is delicious, big damn antihero

[Hey John? See that girl walking across the square at you? See her fist aimed at your face? Oh yeah. She found you.]

Happy fuckin' birthday to me.

[If he had less of a guilty conscience, he'd probably run. As it is, he merely drops his half-opened pack of cigarettes in surprise, spends a split-second looking like he very much wants to flee...and takes the punch.]

[She snorts]

Where's me present yeh son of a bitch?

[Action] lullabyoflondon August 29 2008, 01:39:05 UTC

[He palms his face, checking for blood. He might have bitten his lip a little, but that's all right, he'll live. He crouches to pick up his cigarettes, not quite looking at Eden.]

What d'you want, flowers?

[Kicks at the fags]

Yeh're a fuckin' pig. A fuckin' tan pig.

[Grabs them just as they're about to sail out of reach. Score!]

Oink. Want a prize for sussing me out, do you?

...it's me bleedin' birthday.

[He stares at the ground some more as he lights a cigarette. Finally, his shoulders slump, and he says in a weary voice:]

I don't need to get girls presents very often. Come on. I'll buy you a pint and you can figure out what else you want from me over that.

[She considers this, and him]

And stop feelin' so fuckin' goddamned sorry for yerhself. It's pathetic.

[But she nods]

[Action] lullabyoflondon August 29 2008, 02:08:50 UTC

It's a bit of a habit by now. I don't know if you've noticed.

[He starts walking, still looking like he's on the verge of sulking at any moment.]

[Action] eiremagic August 29 2008, 02:11:27 UTC

Yeah, I did. It's not yehr sexiest fuckin' feature.

[Action] lullabyoflondon August 29 2008, 02:24:30 UTC

[Pulls himself together enough to smirk at Eden:]

Good thing I've got enough of those to spare, then.

: [Action] eiremagic August 29 2008, 02:27:45 UTC

Yeah. Keep fuckin' dreamin'.

[She's moved on John. Sort of. I mean, she doesn't want you, anyway. Obviously her love isn't strong enough to redeem you. But she's smirking back]

So what the fuck kept yeh locked away?

[Action] lullabyoflondon August 29 2008, 02:33:49 UTC

[He looks...relieved? Maybe. It's hard to tell. He's still not really sure what he feels for and about her--just that it's complicated and a little new.]

Those succubi were chasing me for a long sodding time.

[Action] eiremagic August 29 2008, 02:42:40 UTC

Yeh shoulda told someone. That Foster kid would have helped yeh.

[Action] lullabyoflondon August 29 2008, 02:46:12 UTC

[He's shaking his head.]

I thought about it. But these bitches were after me, and if I tried to get someone to help me, they'd have used him up and turned him against me.

[It's the latter part that concerns him, of course. If the succubi were just going to use someone up, but not turn them against John, why, he would have brought everyone he knew in if that's what it took to escape. Of course, he doesn't say that, but from the look on his face he's certainly thinking about it.]

I work better on my own.
