RPG - Anton & Sulli 3

[timbits_tootsie]

It is not often that Zoe asks him personal questions, or talks much with him beyond mundane matters. He frowns deeply and tries to find how to best phrase the answer.

“He hurt someone very important to me, and will keep doing it unless he is taken care of,” he says, a little hesitant. “He stands in the way of what I want. Of the person I want."

Zoë looks at him, head tilted slightly. "Who?" he asks. "A lover?"

{Very true. Oh, oh, I want them to have a conversation about 'bad romance' so to speak, because Zoë has had to deal with some pretty ugly sides of Caliban. He knows all about bad romance. :D}

[timbits_tootsie]

“No.” He grimaces. “Not a lover- my Mentor. We’re…It’s complicated.”

(Hahaha, sure thing! Sulli knows a thing or two, but he hasn't dealt with someone like Caliban for half a millenia :P Oh, I just found the OST to Quest for Camelot, and I'm so pleased I could kiss someone :D I love that movie.)

[antonnachzehrer]

Zoë smiles. "He's stubbornly refusing to acknowledge it, isn't he?" he asks.

{Never heard of it. What's it about? And on a related note, do you think you could try and find the OST to Pan's Labyrinth? I think you'd like it, even if we can't get the e-mails to work again.}

[timbits_tootsie]

Sullivan gives him an odd look, then nods. “Yes. For…almost two years now, I think? We always fought and injured each other, and he kept being a stubborn ass no matter how much I pushed.” He sighs. "Unless I can succeed with Usoa, he won't accept me as a lover."

(It's a children's movie from 98 about a girl, a guy and a two headed dragon who set out to find the stolen King Arthur's sword. And I love the lullaby from Pan's Labyrinth! I cried so hard when I saw it at the cinema. I'll have a look.)

[antonnachzehrer]

Zoë smiles at him sympathetically. "That must be hard," he says, serving Sullivan his food. He wonders why Master Caliban hasn't shown up yet. "Why is it that he won't accept you until Usoa is defeated?"

{Interesting! Have you ever watched BBC's show Merlin? (Also I feel like I've asked you this already?) And thank you!}

[timbits_tootsie]

“They have a long history together. Usoa betrayed him once.” Not sure what else to say without revealing too much, he falls silent, murmuring his thanks to Zoe for the plate of food that is places before him. “Your Master is late, isn’t he?”

(You did ask. I saw two episodes, and they were fun, but I have a hard time following running series, and I just forgot after. Merlin is such a dorky boy. I want to see that new/modern version of Sherlock Holmes. Not sure if it's BBC or HBO or whichever :3)

[antonnachzehrer]

Zoë frowns suddenly. "Yes," he says, standing. "I should probably go-"

There is a sudden banging from the front hall, and he turns, surprised. "What in Hecate's name?" he murmurs, running quickly to the door.

He comes back a minute later with Frankenstein with him; the Doctor is more pale than usual and he looks troubled. And the same moment, Caliban comes downstairs, looking angry. "You have some explain-"

"Yes, yes, I'll tell you everything later, but right now, I've got a poor girl dying in my laboratory and i need your servant to save her!" Frankenstein snaps. "Sullivan, you come too. Ill explain in the carriage."

{Did you see the movie version with Robert Downey Jr? I thought it was great.}

[timbits_tootsie]

The note of fear in Frankenstein’s voice is genuine, and that is all he needs to know to follow without second thought. He doesn’t bother with shoes or a jacket and climbs into the carriage after him, looking confused and worried. “What’s going on? What girl?” he demands.

(Omg, yes! I never thought I'd say this, but Jude Law looks smashing with a moustache. I adore Downey Jr :3 I didn't get to see Ironman 2 yet, sadly.)

[antonnachzehrer]

"Usoa attacked again," Frankenstein says as Zoë climbs in next to him. "And he didn't go for Anton this time."

{I saw it on the plane ride home. It was pretty good. :3 Jude Law did look pretty hot with a mustache, didn't he? And thank you so much for the soundtrack, love!}

[timbits_tootsie]

The words won’t sink in, first.

”Ariya.”

The breath gushes from him in shock. Then, as he connects the Doctor’s words from before, about the dying girl, he makes a noise in the back of his throat and grips the man’s arm tightly. “What happened?! How- Ariya is dying?”

(I think Jude Law might be the sort of guy who looks good in anything. An you're welcome! :3)

[antonnachzehrer]

"Most of her internal organs have been ripped to shreds," he says grimly. "She's barely hanging on at this point."

{Very true. Even though he's going bald he's still gorgeous.}

[timbits_tootsie]

Sullivan releases his arm and slumps heavily in his seat, too lost for words to do anything else.

Ariya can’t die. She just…can’t.

The carriage doesn’t seem to move fast enough, even at full speed, and the three passengers spend it in grim, suffocating silence.

When they come to a stop outside the Doctor’s castle, Sullivan is the first to tear open the door and jump out, looking wild eyed and frayed.

(XD. Some men just retain their charm despite age. He's probably one of the few men I actually find attractive, looks wise.)

[antonnachzehrer]

"I'll need most of your organs," Frankenstein says to Zoë as they begin moving quickly into the castle. "Has everything grown back since last time?"

Zoë frowns deeply, shaking his head. "My lung aren't functional yet," he says, and the doctor swears.

"Shit, that's what I needed most," he hisses, taking a sharp turn down the hallway that will lead them to his laboratory. "Alright, we'll have to improvise."

The lab doors burst open before he even touches them, and he rushes to the medical room, Zoë and Sullivan close behind.

Ariya lies on one of the surgical tables, blood seeping from every open orifice, soft whimpers of pain still pouring from her lips. Anton hovers over her, trying his best to staunch the blood flow and barely succeeding.

{:3}

The smell of blood is sickening.

“Ariya!” He rushes to the table and stands there helplessly, panicked, and doesn’t know what to do, except he needs to help somehow. “W-what can I do? I need to do something too,” he pleads, staring at Frankenstein.

[antonnachzehrer]

"Not now," Frankenstein snaps. "I need to stop her bleeding and replace as many of her organs as I can. Zoë, table."

Zoë obey immediately, and Frankenstein grabs a needle of clear liquid, jamming it into the servant's neck before grabbing a large, very fine tipped knife. "This will hurt," he warns, and begins cutting Zoë open.

Zoë says nothing, simply grits his teeth against the slowly fading pain.

[timbits_tootsie]

Sullivan backs away from the table on unsteady feet, bumping into another table after a few steps, and he sits down there, watching with the lump in his throat growing ever larger with the passing seconds. There is nothing he can do but wait and watch and listen to the sound of flesh being opened and the faint, agonized whimpers of the dying Siren.

(It may just be that I'm tired, and that listening to Pan's lullaby while writing now affects me, but I want to cry for Ariya, even though I know she'll live :/)
