{ 03 } THE LIGHT, IT BURNS. also; In Which Ed Overshares

[PUBLIC to all; mostly accidental -- he was just trying to film it for his own amusement and somehow ended up broadcasting]

[Have some video of a hand. Just a hand; no wrist attached, no arm attached, no PERSON attached. Very pale, and twitching slightly. Sitting all by itself on the counter. There's a pool of blood surrounding it, but it's mostly tacky by now.

There's also an Ed snickering in the background.]

Dude. I had no fucking idea that could happen. It's like a zombie only a thousand times better.

[Rudy, this is Ed's accidental homage to you; he ate your heart and saw your handiwork and it's given him Ideas.]

[PRIVATE to Frankie]

Okay man, I get your deal now.

[OW. Your heart hurt. :/ ]

[Ed's currently eaten hearts from both Frankie (Sun) and Rudy (Art). ...he's had Deceitful from McGee too, but he's biding his time on obnoxious with that one.]

What did you call me?

...Babs. God you have way too many names.

[Still not a big deal apparently. He's going off to the fridge to get food; don't mind the temporary disappearance, he's still around.]

I may start calling you Oracle though. Just so you know.

[See that, Ed? That's a look of worry on her face. It fades, though and something harder and slightly more amused slips into place.] They're aliases. Shame I couldn't have gone by something as cool as "Kid Comeback". That would have been fun.

Yeah, kinda got that. Still curious which one's the real one though.

[...You did not. Did NOT. He didn't care when he was human because it didn't matter since everyone KNEW he was a lame-ass nerd, but. Now it just ruins the reputation he's been trying to build. While she's become more amused, he's become less so.]

Let me guess, you got that from a candy. [Pause pause.] How much did you see?

Charlie. It's Charlie. [Yes she did. And this isn't amusement at his discomfort, this is a fond smile. She enjoyed that memory.]

I saw three guys in home-made costumes. You. Human. [And with muscles. Again, with the muscles. Jesus. NOT FAIR. She's trying to not think of it and there it is again.] And you were happy. You were enjoying yourself and the..whatever that was you and your two friends were doing. [Small shrug. She's set the device down and is now picking the tape off of her hands.] I'm jealous.

Yeah, well. Don't be; one of 'em's dead and the other's a fucking asshole, so all that happy doesn't mean jack shit.

It was blackmail, anyway.

[...Not when it was filmed, but that's not really the point here. Stop reminding him of the Good Times, they make everything else difficult.

A few gulps of blood, and moving right along.]

So what's with the Fight Club look you got going there?

Mm-hmm. [She doesn't believe him.] At least you had friends. I didn't have the opportunity to have any until I ended up here.

[Once she realizes that was probably saying too much, she continues picking the stuff off of her hands.] Cashing in on a birthday present from a friend of mine.

[He'll let it go for now, but don't think he'll forget.]

Uh-huh. Just...because. On a whim.

[She will cross that bridge when it comes. And there will be eyerolling and her tongue running over her teeth as she tries to not react. But for now;]

I have my reasons.
