009 - Reaper of My Evening Song - Video

[worldofourown]

Ah. I remember this.

[Karl is seated on the floor of his cell. Book in his lap, idly stirring through it with a fingertip. His face is replete with a Good-Times satisfaction.]

What a splendid evening that was. Full of blood and flame. Diva and I laughed ourselves sick over it afterward.

[A chilling laugh.]

You know, she told me a little secret. She said, for a boy who didn't want it, he was dreadfully eager for it...

[And, smile fixed, he returns to his book. Sick bastard.]


[OOC: Karl's cursed with Memory Theater. He's recalling he and his Queen, Diva, massacred everyone aboard a ship. After which Diva proceeded to rape and kill Saya's adoptive brother. Who, FYI, was 12 years old. Suffice it to say, it was quite the Moral Event Horizon :\]

We can overpower these humans, Solomon. They have no true structure here. They're weak. The Deities see them as nothing but toys.

...

We could make this City ours. A tribute to our Queen.

Private

[favoritetraitor]

Don't be so foolish as to even suggest such a thing. We're as much toys to the deities as they are.

I've seen someone attempt to take over the city. It's inhabitants descended upon him like a tidal wave.

No. We'll do no such thing.

Private

[worldofourown]

Not even for the sake of fulfilling Diva's dream?

...

You have changed, Solomon. You were many things. But never weak.

Private

[favoritetraitor]

Diva isn't here. Saya is.

Don't mistake caution with weakness brother.

Private

[worldofourown]

Diva may not be here. But I refuse to let her memory extinguish.

There is far greater strength in action, Solomon. Our Queen understood this, even if you seem to have forgotten.

Private

[favoritetraitor]

You mean well executed plans. I haven't forgotten.

Reckless action gets a person killed. [No idle threat.]

[Hmph.]

It's not as though we can die here.

Private

[favoritetraitor]

Then you should heed my words even more since that's the case, wouldn't you agree?

Private

[worldofourown]

We're still Chiropterans, Solomon. The very top of the food-chain.

Regardless of what these humans do to us, we won't be defeated easily.

Private

[favoritetraitor]

Are we, really? I'll be sure to give the deities your regards.

[Thinking Karl clearly wasn't chosen for his intelligence.]

Private

[This face, Solomon. That's all you'll get. You know he doesn't like the Deities. AT ALL.]
