017 - Sour Wine Is Sweeter On Your Lips - Video/Forward-Dated To The Curse Night

[worldofourown]

 [The video flicks on to whipping wind and glittering cityscape. Karl sits perched on a roof parapet, his head silhouetted against a half-moon. His teeth are white and sharp and his eyes are blood-red.]

This is a rather amusing curse. Well, passably so. I haven't allowed my standards to sink that low yet. 

[A dark chuckle.]

Chimeras. Bogeymen. And everyone crying and cowering, like pathetic children. It's entertaining enough to make me want to join the party~

...

I wonder if she's out there tonight. Surely I've given her a delightful nightmare or two~

[Laughing, Karl vanishes from his spot in a blur. The feed snaps shut.]


[OOC: Have a monster? He will kill. Just for the lulz. Give a vampire something to do, City! ^^b]

[He's watching, but currently too human to risk more than that. Just keeping a look out for Setsuna.]

[Come play with him, Kira~]

voice, so as not to give away his location;

[beyourarmy]

You better not cause any trouble, Karl. I'd hate to have to stop you.

Private/voice

[worldofourown]

Depends on your definition of trouble~

Private/voice

[beyourarmy]

[Notices this was made private. Interesting....]

In this case, trouble means hurting other people.

Private/voice

[worldofourown]

The 'Night Terrors' are doing a well enough job with that.

[And he may, or may not, join in >:3]

Private/voice

[beyourarmy]

Yeah....

Is this - what you look like - one of your dreams?

[He's afraid Karl will join in.]

Private/voice

[worldofourown]

Hm?

No. This is what I look like on a good day.

[He's not cursed. Just enjoying it all.]

Private/voice

[beyourarmy]

[Oh shi-! It hadn't dawned on Setsuna before.... He knew Karl wasn't human, sure. But.]

You mean, you're not dreaming? You just.... I guess I've never seen you in this mood before?

Private/voice

[worldofourown]

[He has a 'full' form too, Sets. A hideous, beastly one.]

I can't dream. I don't sleep.

...The City needs more curses like this.

[auguria]

There is no call to torment the city further.

Private

[worldofourown]

Better than boring it to tears~

Private

[auguria]

There are other ways to pass the time.

Private

[worldofourown]

Such as what?

Planting roses? Adopting kittens?

Private

[auguria]

[....yes?]

You speak with scorn. Life is worthy of your appreciation.

Private 1/2

[worldofourown]

[Oh Jast~<3]

'Worthy'?

Private 2/2

[worldofourown]

[This sets him off like nothing else.]

I am about a hundred years old, boy. I have done all I care to do. When an old man is ready to die, no one faults him. I am no different - yet this City refuses to free me.

Private

[auguria]

Near to my age, then. Perhaps we could enjoy the peerage, rather than disdain it.

[majorcrotchgrab]

.. Hm.

[worldofourown]

...Yes~?

[majorcrotchgrab]

You're a bit of a creep.

[worldofourown]

Thank you~

[majorcrotchgrab]

You're... welcome.

[worldofourown]

Keeping to yourself this lovely evening, Raikov?

[majorcrotchgrab]

With Yevgeny.
