002 - You Swallowed Everything, Like Distance - [Accidental Video/Public]

[worldofourown]

[A whoosh, a roar and a splatter.]

[The network device tumbles to the muddy ground. It settles at an angle, the red light blinking as it records. The gore-flecked camera shows a bloody spectacle.]

[A man. And a beast.]

[They've clearly been battling for a while. The man's clothes and face are smeared with red. The beast has seeping wounds on its body from various slashes. The floor beneath them is slick with free-flowing blood. Hissing, the beast swoops at the man. He dodges with preternatural speed. Avoiding the snap of glistening teeth, he leaps onto the beast's back. It roars, its great claws flailing viciously as it tries to throw him off.]

[But the man stays on.]

[Grinning madly, he lifts his arm. A red spike shoots out, piercing the beast's shoulder. Blood sprays everywhere. The beast howls, thrashing - and tumbles with a muddy splash. Laughing, the man clings on. His white fangs flash in the gloom - before digging into the beast's sinewy neck.] 

[A sickening crunch. Then, liquid noises as the man drinks.]

[Beneath him, the beast spasms. After a long moment, it stills. Once the man has drunk his fill, he straightens. Blood trickles from his mouth, painting the lower half of his face. With a satisfied smile, he wipes it away. His eyes glow bright-red.]

[Suddenly, he notices the network device.]

Tch. How intrusive.

[Reaching out.]

I trust everyone enjoyed that performance? Sadly, the curtains must now fall~

[His carnivorous smile widens.]

Still, who could've imagined this 'City' to be such a delightful tinderbox. Swarms of foul demons everywhere, and a pure, terrible angel somewhere up above~

[His eyes brighten rapturously. Oh yeah. Totally in Perverse Saya-Fantasy Mode]

I can't wait to see what else this place is hiding! It's like being lost in an Enchanted Forest!

[He lets off a wild rolling laugh. The feed cuts off.]


[OOC: Hello, City! Your crazy vampiric newcomer is now Underground. Feel free to congratulate him/scream at him/give him disturbed looks. He loooves the attention~<3]

*Watching you with even greater interest. No wonder Solomon never mentioned this Karl before*

Nor does this one...

[worldofourown]

*Yeah well. No one likes to talk about the lunatic in the family* xD

Re: Nor does this one...

*Fruitcake Diva got name drops - HAHA*

Nor does this one...

[worldofourown]

*Sol's whole family was a little 'unstable'. Some were just more, um, 'entertaining' than others...* >.>

[What. The. Fuck. Karl.]

Karl. This is not appropriate for the Network.

[worldofourown]

[You're not the boss of meeeee xD]

Tch. And who decides what is and isn't appropriate?

[private]

[whithersoevergo]

Did Solomon not tell you?

[private]

[worldofourown]

Tell me what?

[He glowers.]

I'm afraid I was in no mood to chat with a turncoat who had me murdered.

Private *Someone's in the Doghouse now~*

[favoritetraitor]

KARL!

Private *oh, Karl. Whyyyy?* xD

[worldofourown]

[He smirks.]

Whatever is the matter, brother?

Private *That's it young man. You're grounded!*

[favoritetraitor]

What do you think you're doing?!

Over the open network, even. You should know better than that!

Private *But Brooooo. I was just having some fuuuun!* xD

[worldofourown]

Oh- but what does it matter?

This isn't home!

[council_king]

My.

[Private]
Enjoying yourself~?

[worldofourown]

It is something, isn't it?

[Private]

~Very.

Private

[council_king]

How nice~...

I like you better all the time.

Private

[worldofourown]

I'm flattered.

[He dabs a streak of blood off his chin.]

~This City is a cornucopia of creatures. All ripe and juicy for the picking.

[Oh, she can't help but make a face. Not only is this such a blatant display of his nature but it's just... sickening. It reminds her all too much of hunting Chiropteran and she can't help but find her stomach unsettled by the idea.]

Karl!

[worldofourown]

[Oh! That voice. Like a chorale of beautiful death-bells.]

Saya!

Video;

[liveontoday]

[She's trying so hard not to lose patience. Typically she isn't bad at this feat but this rubs on her nerves, from the sight of the killing itself to knowing Solomon's preference for quiet on the whole matter of their nature.]

You can't do this, Karl. Not over the network.

[worldofourown]

[Leave it to Karl to wreck years of good work with one video xD]

~But Saya! Why bother with this secrecy? Is it worth smothering your true nature? Is it worth denying who you are?

[He spreads his arms wide.]

I'm dedicating this delicious carnage to you! A tribute to your glorious rampage in Vietnam!

Video; Private

[whithersoevergo]

I worry that he's going to try and find you, Saya, I'm not sure you're safe at the penthouse with Solomon.

[liveontoday]

[Her expression is drawn and tight.]

You're right. I don't want to run from him though but...

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

...you rang?

[ video ]

[worldofourown]

[He's in too good a mood to be annoyed :|]

~I don't think so.

Unless you're summoned by the melody of carnage?

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

No, another word. Words've their meaning.

But come, now, carnage?
