intro - no event - rising aphro

[legalcontractor]

This wasn't happening. It had to be a nightmare. It couldn't be real, could it? Gilbert was sure that it was some kind of trick that his mind was playing on him. He was laying on the street after having taken a bullet in order to protect his brother when he closed his eyes. He remembered seeing those flashbacks of what happened so long ago. Pieces

"It's a Love Hotel." Well, he knew that voice sounded familiar. "Raven! Are...you ok?"

[legalcontractor]

He whirled around to see Jack and when he did, he instinctively took a step backwards instantly.

"Y-You!" He pointed a finger at him accusingly. "You're..? How are you out of Oz's body!?" He couldn't understand it. All of it was like some utterly horrible nightmare he couldn't wake up from.

"Is all of this your doing?"

[j_bezarius]

Oh this again, really?

"Gilbert...I'm not who you're thinking I am. I'm not that Jack." At least he was used to telling his story. "I've nothing to do with you being here. I'm trapped here just as much as you are."

[legalcontractor]

What? What!?

"How do I know you're not lying again like you were before?" He asked and took another step back. He tried reaching for his revolver but it had been mysteriously swiped from him.

"Because I believed what you said back then and all it turned out to be was a pack of lies. A... A fabricated truth."

[j_bezarius]

"I'm not that Jack. I keep hearing stories...but I know nothing of your Tragedy. I have Glen and Lacie here..." At least that was one good thing, he wouldn't get shot at.

[legalcontractor]

"Glen and Lacie?" Glen was there? The one person he had been afraid of for so long and he actually turned out to be his true master. It was a simple mistake to believe in lies that he had been fed, yet at the same time he still felt bad about it.

He shook his head a little.

"So... You had nothing to do with it? But how?"

[j_bezarius]

"I don't know. You and your brother are my servants, and we're all happy..." Though...when he watched Gilbert talk, he just had to get closer. Was that a shine in his mouth?

"Hey! Hey! Did Vincent give that to you?"

[legalcontractor]

That earned him a couple seconds of complete and utter silence.

Though when he stepped closer and asked him that question his eyebrows furrowed.

"What!?" The expression on his face was one of utter shock. "No. He didn't give this stupid thing to me. Why would you ever think that? I'd never let him do such a thing to me. Th-That would be improper!"

[j_bezarius]

"Well..." Turning a decent shade of pink, he unbuttoned the top of his dress shirt, pulling it to the side and showing Gilbert his metal ring. He may see a bit of black across his chest as well.

[legalcontractor]

Curiosity got the best of him and he moved closer to take a look at the small gold hoop fixed on Jack's nipple.

"What? You let him do that to you?"

[j_bezarius]

"More fueled by the drugs of this place than anything..." Hell, he hasn't even shown anyone yet.

[legalcontractor]

"It shouldn't be surprising that he'd do something like that and... Wait, did you say drugs!?"

[j_bezarius]

There was a nod. "Plenty of drugs here, unfortunately. Vincent has a tendency to use syringes..."

[legalcontractor]

"This place doesn't sound healthy at all." Little did he know, he had actually been breathing in the said aphrodisiac from the very moment he woke up and he couldn't seem to take his eyes off of Jack.

[j_bezarius]

"Sometimes...in moderation I guess." Jack smiled, buttoning his shirt back up.

[legalcontractor]

He finally realized that he was staring and looked away while he ran a few fingers through his hair.

"How do we get out of here anyways?"
