14 | VISUAL | TAXON FOREST | LIKE A BED OF ROSES, THERE'S A DOZEN REASONS IN THIS GUN.

Dec 11, 2011 15:01

The visual flickers to Party, curled up in the back of his car, looking a cross between very confused, very embarrassed, and maybe a little scared. That's what you get when you push a witch into an oven, but he's not quite sure how to put that one in to words. He's used to killing people, but right now he's not exactly in Taxon's good books, never ( Read more... )

Fine, so Party saved him from the witch and everything, but it doesn't mean that Kobra isn't still angry.

"You love picking flowers," he huffs, not even looking at the tablet laid by his side as he lights another cigarette, bundled up and sitting at the beach, his face barely visible between sunglasses and a scarf pulled up to his chin.

Party sighs. "Are you going to keep doing pouting like a baby?" Probably, but Party can at least hope. "I didn't even say anything bad."

Re: [visual | locked ] goodluck_kobra December 11 2011, 22:03:59 UTC

"I'm not pouting," Kobra huffs, swatting at the tablet and only managing to get more sand over it. Of course Party wouldn't know what he said that upset Kobra. "And I'm not a baby. You're just a wavehead."

[visual | locked ] poisonousparty December 12 2011, 02:15:54 UTC

"M'not a wavehead, either." There's a warning in Party's voice, and he shakes his head.

"Look, I'm just saying, I didn't mean anything bad. C'mon, man. Even glitched I saved you from... you know."

He pauses, too, licking lips.

"Let's not tell anyone we killed her, okay?"

Not Glitch. [ Her voice is a pretty sad ] Not that I've yet heard.

[ visual ] poisonousparty December 12 2011, 02:19:52 UTC

I'm sure he'll show up.

[ visual ] longaevus December 13 2011, 21:52:59 UTC

I do hope so. [ She liked him ]

How did you fare? Kobra also.

[ visual ] poisonousparty December 13 2011, 22:03:08 UTC

"We're doin' good. I didn't really know Glitch." Party's taking it way out of context, sure, but he offers the girl a slight, half-smile. It'd be better if Kobra wasn't a pissy little brother right now, but there wasn't much Party could do about that.

"Party."

There's some relief there. An unstated 'glad you made it through', not that she's surprised. But they weren't themselves. They were...less themselves than Gwen thinks they've ever been, this time. So, she's just glad they didn't get themselves killed.

"Hey."

[visual][/oh yes, locked] poisonousparty December 12 2011, 02:19:09 UTC

Oh.

oh.

Okay, Party. Try not to jump the gun. It was a glitch. It was a glitch, remember her face? That was pretty ugly. It doesn't matter that it wasn't her face you were looking at.

Party clears his throat, looking pointedly to the side and sighing. This? This is going to suck. This is totally not him blushing, either.

"I.. hey."

[visual][/locked] freaks_myword December 12 2011, 21:19:39 UTC

Yep.

At least this isn't half as awkward as she thought it was going to be. She remembers their little get-together at the river, so it doesn't surprise her that he does too. And of course Party Boy's all spazzed out about seeing her naked. He's a blusher. As for her? She's not so much shy about her body. She knows it looks good, she shows it off as much as she can, and she loves getting all the blushes and stares and batting-boylashes from men. But she usually does that without being stark nude.

That being said, Gwen feels a little awkward.

"Thanks for..."

The quip dies on her tongue, and she freezes. Perfect. Smooth. Gwen. Luckily, this is Party, and she can be a little more herself, and in this case, sloppy.

"I got nothing."

[visual][/locked] poisonousparty December 12 2011, 21:25:55 UTC

"Uh-huh."

Oh for fuck's sake. Pull yourself together, Party, don't be a goddamn girl about this. He rubs his face in his hands, grumbling and muttering something about DJ Hot Chimp before looking back up.

"For the record, Tumbleweed, I'm not calling you fair maiden anymore."

But...but.. daaaaaamn. Gwen was a looker.

"The sentiment of wishing unpleasant copulation upon the aliens is very common," says Long's unmistakeable voice, although a bit more strained than usual.

"As for the question regarding death, I can only speak to my experience, which is: yes."

[ video ] poisonousparty December 12 2011, 18:06:28 UTC

Mr. Library. Sweet!

Party visibly perks up, even if Long's voice is pinched, and the relief is evident in his own voice.

"Good. Wait--you died before?"

[ audio ] imperial_long December 14 2011, 23:37:43 UTC

"A question laden with philosophical ambiguities," Long sighs. "In the sense that you mean: no, I have not died in Taxon. But I have witnessed the deaths and subsequent resurrections of others."

He shifts in his armchair, wincing, not that Party can see it. Heavens, but everything is sore. In more ways than the physical.

[ audio ] poisonousparty December 16 2011, 23:39:49 UTC

"So..." because that bears the question: "..How old are you, exactly?"

"Sometimes."

It wasn't her first death and, as unpleasant as the oven had been, it was still nicer than the relentless and methodical torture Angelus had inflicted. She'd forgiven him as soon as she'd stepped out of the soil, a brand new monster. She'd probably forgive the boys as well, if they were nice.

"Did you get to keep the flowers?"

[Visual | locked] poisonousparty December 12 2011, 19:59:56 UTC

Party's expression flatlined the moment he saw Drusilla, and it took him a few seconds to compose himself. Not that he could be blamed, of course--seeing the dead was...well, odd. He thought it was more than odd. Even if Drusilla was technically un-dead. Plus, Party had just killed her.

Party had nothing against killing--but he did have a bit of a problem with killing people in Taxon (and no, Extras didn't count), especially given the fact that he already had half of Taxon grumpy at him.

"No," He said carefully, eyeing the other from his end of the tablet.

"....Are you milkshake?"

[Private] a_pretty_fire December 13 2011, 21:35:13 UTC

"No. Someone baked me in my own oven."

Milkshakes were cold and sweet, but she'd been too hot and too sore. Then everything had turned dark. She'd had to claw her way back to the surface without a single star to light away. Except there hadn't been a surface No surface and no soil to scrap from her fingernails when she woke up. Just Drusilla and the darkness and a head blissfully empty of dreams for once.

"I'm all better now."

[Private] poisonousparty December 13 2011, 22:41:40 UTC

"That's.. That's good. That's shiny, Dru." Party was currently desperately hoping that Drusilla really wasn't angry, because that's the last thing he needed. And honestly? He was still kind of scared of her. She just had a way of ghosting about that reminded him way too much of the dark things that lurked in his subconscious. Scary stories he thought up of when he was a kid.
