Thirty-Fifth Drop: no food for the sick (video)

Jul 13, 2010 19:19

[Sorrow is stumbling around the Lighthouse's  keeper's house and rifling through all the cabinets. A loaf of bread in a wrapper falls to the side; there's a pack of dried fruit. He looks terrible, eyes sunken, shoulders hunched.]

I feel terrible today...isn't there anything not covered in grease? I can't eat anything here in my house. Pochemu ( Read more... )

Is this your doing? Is this some kind of cruel joke?

[Seeing the wounds in the video. This is horribly, horribly amusing!]

What, do you think you caught vampirism from me?

I'm not assuming...I'm asking. Did you orchestrate this?

Oh, use common sense, will you! Why should I have? Since you are no follower of Millennium, giving you more power is no use to me.

Though of course, if you wish to become one now, I shall give you my full assistence in your new condition! It's a whole new living experience, I promise~.

Common sense. None of this is common sense. Do you not understand that I don't want this power? If you were to have given it to me, you would do it to torment me, not to strengthen me.

...I can't. I won't live...like this. I hate every moment of it. I'm trying not to go out of the Lighthouse, for fear of killing those around me. If I can just stay here...

Tsk. You do not have a choice, so you will have to learn to like it. We all had to. Once turned, there is no way back. The sooner you accept that, the easier on yourself it will be. Be glad you're not a ghoul, making you a vampire like this shouldn't have been possible.

Still, I could come to the Lighthouse for assistence.

Choice or no, I will never learn to like it.

How would you assist me? What could you do? What would you do?

You say that now.

Giving you helpful advice? I do believe I'm the one with the experience here. Besides, you wouldn't need to worry about attacking me!

...Very well, Rip. I'm not going anywhere, so you're welcome to come.

Very well. This is going to be interesting!

[Coming and bringing the musket along, btw. Naturally.]

[When she arrives, the door is unlocked and slightly open, so that a draft cools off the inside of the keeper's house. Sorrow is waiting for her, a weary look on his face, his eyes staring through the far wall with an entranced look about them. He takes a deep breath, looks over to her, and for all the world seems like a tired old man just putting up with the situation.]

Hello, Rip.

[He still manages his usual rueful smile -- and behind the lips, as he speaks, fangs catch the light for just a moment.]

[And so, musket leaning on her shoulder, Rip slips inside. Curiosity is mixed in her usual expression of boredom.]

Now, aren't we looking cheerful.

[He motions for her to shut the door, then stands. Despite his tired look, he moves the heavy chair out of the middle of the floor with a rather easy push of his hand -- a new "power" of his -- and stands to face her.]

I'm not so cheerful these days, Lieutenant. I tend to keep to myself, but the ticking is becoming...unfortunate.

[He scans her over -- true to her words, he has no real desire to attack her. She looks human, but something about her repels the hunger. Fair enough.]

[Lazily, she shuts the door without taking her eyes off him. Rip expects an attack at some point, but that's what the musket is for, after all. No one except Samiel beats the hunter. Automatically, she holds it tighter.]

I see you're already getting used to the advantages!

[Motioning to the chair, she grins.]

Ah, yes, the ticking. I'd offer you a relief for that, if I might not still have use for that thing myself.

[Never good to cut all your bridges, after all.]
