CW: ABLEISM.
We don't normally put content warnings on these, but one of our commentators had to pause in reading this because a character's ableism made them physically ill.
Also, CW: Attempted suicide, because someone was so egregiously emotionally abused that they cut. You've been warned 😕

SEBASTIAN
Speaking of lunch...
*Goes to sit
in Xander's lap*
XAN blinks a bit, surprised
a little eager today, are we? (he teases)
*turning Bash's head slightly, actually
places a kiss to his neck before he bites him*
SEBASTIAN
Just want to make sure you're...
healthy and well fed
XAN drinks and growls softly as he does
so
TRENT
explain to me again why the bikes are overlooking the pool
(Sigyn) Me
because seethe and cope, you big baby
Sebastian sighs happily and leans into his touch as usual
XAN pulls back when he is done and licks the wound closed
Thank you...
Sebastian
Thank you ^-^
TRENT brings out pancakes and hash browns

I love it when you cook. thanks!
NATE puts syrup on his hash browns 🥰
HELENA makes a pancake and hash brown sandwich
TRENT smiles and nods
LUCIFER scoops Sebastian up and feeds him bites of food
Sebastian 🥰
TRENT settles down next to Rebecca
I'm
thinking of being a work from home house husband.
BEX
Xander is being a dick. Lol
SIGYN
Ooh
Fun fun fun
REBECCA
Really?
*looks up at Trent*
Are you
sure that is what you want, Love?
TRENT
We have a slice of life summary in
our drafts. I've thought about it, and the truth is, I've been very selfish
lately, and it hadn't made any of us feel good. I like taking care of you--
cooking, cleaning, bathing & massaging... sex...
REBECCA blinked, and tilted her head a bit
If that is what you want, hun. I have always enjoyed being with you, no
matter what we do, you know this.

I am getting bombarded suddenly in notifs

suddenly BAM BAM BAM

PENRYN
Oh yeah, that’s totally what
happened e_e
SIGYN
Facebook needs to get its shit together
BEX
Right! So trying to play 'catch up' and
like...did I see that one yet? yes. ok this one? ugh!
SIGYN
yeahhh
Good thing we have the tag system over pm
PENRYN
Which she ignores anyway if it's not for a story she's currently obsessed with.
TRENT
Xander is a dick on main, but I
still like him so far.
[13-minute video chat ending at 2:18
p.m.]
TRENT (reacting to something Freya did in
Academy that triggered him)
FREYA, WHAT THE FUCK?
FREYA
What? It wasn't your muse.
TRENT
I STILL HAD TO READ IT, YOU SNOBBY,
INSENSITIVE CUNT
*reflexively grabs a carving knife*
I am going to rip you a new asshole besides
that FUCKING GASH IN YOUR FACE!
XAN
Don't yell at her...that is her and her Mates story.
*gets in front of Freya and growls*
PENRYN
OI, FUCK YOU! YOU DON’T GET TO DECIDE
WHETHER HIS TRIGGERS ARE VALID!
AVERNA
More importantly--
ERNEST
Um--
CIN
No, no, let her finish!
AVERNA
--why does Xander care? Why is Mr. gets-off-on-blood stepping in to break up a fight? He should be getting out the popcorn.
REBECCA
Whoa! hey! Trent!
*goes over and wraps her arms around him from behind in a sense trying to hug him*
It's ok
love...easy. Focus on me...ok? Ignore her, she isn't worth it.
PENRYN
Ignore literally being triggered,
because she isn’t worth it. That’s some fucking gaslighting BULLSHIT!
TRENT whirls around and slashes her!
Oh shit
Rebecca, I'm so sorry
AVERNA
Don't grab someone wielding a knife unless you're ready to get stabbed.
SERLEINA
OR DO! BECAUSE IT'S HILARIOUS! HA! HA, HA! HEY, XANDER, YOU WANT ANY POPCORN? WELL, TOO BAD! BECAUSE IT'S MINE! NYEH-NYEH!
NATE gently extracts the knife from his hand and pulls the lighter out of Trent's pocket for good measure; goes to put the weapons somewhere else.
REBECCA falls back, gasping. The slash had cut only a minor slash to her cheek, but it was enough to draw blood. She had been quick in her reaction to avoid serious injury.
GEORGE
WHAT THE FUCK TRENT!
PENRYN
☠ yourself,
George.
AVERNA
She played stupid games and won stupid prizes.
XAN growls fiercely at the smell of blood
and anger in the air.
PENRYN
You too. Fall on a fucking stake.
AVERNA
You suck at being the Token Evil Teammate so bad, Blood Boy.
REBECCA
No...no...it's ok. It's nothing.
See? Just a cut. I moved.... (rambling, trying to make things better)
PENRYN
You want to make things better? Kill Freya, too.
REBECCA
Luci can heal it. It's no big deal.
GEORGE
No big deal! He could have killed
you!
REBECCA
But he DIDN'T!
Now she was getting
upset. She knew Trent hadn't meant it, but it still shook her and she was
trying not to show it.
PENRYN
If she's so ZOMGSHAKEN, she should tell Freya to watch her fat fucking mouth.
LUCIFER quickly goes to heal her
TRENT
FUCK all of you.
/Exit Trent
NATE
Look what you did, Freya.
*Also
leaves*
REBECCA
Thanks Luci...
*looks around*
Nice. Thanks.
*goes after Trent*
Babe...WAIT!
Sebastian throws them all a look of disgust and follows Nate, Trent, and Rebecca
FREYA slightly confused and a little pissy
He knows the wedding is at a beach, what's he think we gonna do while
visiting? Look at it?
PENRYN
Maybe choose a DIFFERENT VENUE THEN, OR BETTER YET, FUCKING DROWN YOURSELF, YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!
CAT
Would you stop...
FREYA
What? He came at me with a knife and
that's ok?
AVERNA
What happened to "Luci can heal it. It's no big deal."?
CIN
Yeah, especially since Rebecca's the one who actually got cut! If she's fine, why is Freya freaking out?
CAT
No...but you know he has an aversion to
water.
FREYA
Faustus and I bathe and play in water
all the time in our stories. why now!
LUCIFER grimaces, but doesn't move
FAUSTUS
You pulled me under, dear. He's
almost drowned twice. I imagine it was a bit traumatic for him, and I didn't
like it either
FREYA blinks and feels her temper flare
Omg...I'm sorry I dunked you, I didn't know that was a thing for you too. But
the man threatened me with a knife...and you're taking his side?
Awesome...that's...that's just great!
PENRYN
TRENT IS THE ONE WHO WAS BLOODY FUCKING
TRIGGERED AND, AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED, HE SHOULD HAVE RAMMED THAT KNIFE
THROUGH YOUR BLACK LITTLE HEART!
CIN
I’d be impressed if he could cut through
that small a target.
(In other room)
REBECCA
Babe..it wasn't your fault! (she said soothingly, trying to get Trent to look at her)
I'm not mad at you.
Please...say something?
BEX
// Steve will be home in a sec with dinner
so holding off on replies for now. Plus, everyone's a bit pissy. lol 😛
SIGYN
//lol sorry I did that on purpose bc
therapy
//gonna get back to you after 😛
BEX
// ok, see you soon hun! ♥ ♥ ♥
SIGYN
(3:36 p.m.) I'm
back!
FAUSTUS
In this instance, yes, I take the
side of the person with lifelong trauma over the side of the hysterical woman.
LUCIFER
Even if it wasn't a source of
trauma, why would you just grab someone's ankle and pull them under? It's
rather inconsiderate, especially if you don't know how comfortable they are
with water. And in the ocean, no less. Were Faustus not a warlock, you could
have risked him drowning
FREYA
because it's how Amos and I used to
play. Dunking each other was a playtime. I—
PENRYN
So you’re using your boyfriend as a
stand-in for your brother. Real nice.
XAN
most humans do dunk each other from
time to time, though doing so in this instance was probably not the smartest
thing to do.
PENRYN
No, they don’t. You don’t know shit about
what “most humans” do or don’t do, you socially-impaired pile of rubble.
LENA
ABLEIST!
PENRYN
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
AVERNA
And there is still no good reason for Blood Boy to be jumping to lick Freya's ass like he's a dog and her shit's peanut butter.
ORION
I hope her shit sticks to the roof of his mouth.
AKUMA
I don't; he'd probably enjoy it.
FAUSTUS
Oh, I see.... You must miss your
brother very much.
FREYA
I wouldn't have let him drown! I didn't pull him that far under! I said I was sorry...shit! Trent never butted in on any of our other stories....
*shakes head*
never mind...
PENRYN
Excuse, justification, callback to a
blatantly insincere apology, more excuse, passive-aggressive nEvEr MiNd…
ORION
BINGO!
AKUMA
Aww, I just needed one more space! “Accidental
magic use to call attention to herself”!
TRENT
I'm not upset with you, Rebecca. I
just needed to be out of there. One of these days, I swear I'll kill her.
REBECCA pulls Trent into a hug and kisses him
its OK love. I understand. I'm here and I love you so much
AVERNA
"Let's kill her together, babe. I want to hold your hand while the light leaves her eyes."
POST-EDIT RENA
Oh, I like you.
TRENT
Thank you....
*Holds her close and sniffles lightly*
I know you were just trying to ground me, but... Mm...
*Shakes his head*
I'm glad we have Luci around to make sure you're not harmed
REBECCA
I know you didn't mean it. So it's really OK.
*kisses away his tears and rubs his back*
it was only a cut, Love
but yes...glad Luci is about too.
(Sigyn) Me
Haha no one's ever tried it with me twice,
I'd kill em too. I'm very sensitive about 1) being touched and 2) where I am in
relation to the water. Oh and 3) being able to breathe. And I have a strong
startle response. So it's probably something your admin is familiar with, but
not me.
That was kinda my bad? Like, I had a very
visceral reaction to reading that, and Trent was the most obvious person to
relay that reaction
PENRYN
I don’t think you owe anyone an apology for
Trent being triggered by something that would canonically trigger him.
BEX
yea growing up its a thing me and my
friends used to do all the time. Dunking each other was like playful and made
us all laugh. Even more so if you least expected it. Long as it wasn't to deep
and you weren't held under to long. Cause I DO have a horrible irrational fear
of drowning even if I love the water....but it's mostly drowing in something
that I can't get out of. Like being trapped and drowning.
AKUMA
I also have a fear of drowning, but I vote
for drowning this bitch.
SIGYN
Ah yes, differing experiences. Someone
dunked me once and I reamed them out and beat the shit out of them, and
attempted to waterboard them before grandma stopped me
PIFFY
I don't know if my mom was misinformed or I misunderstood what she said, but she didn't want me to swim in the ocean and I came away from her explanation under the impression that I could easily get sucked into a random underwater hole by a current and drown if I went out there. I know now that the actual dangers are different but you still could not pay me to swim in the ocean.
TRENT
So should we head back out to join
the others?
NATE
Do you still want to kill Freya?
TRENT
...yes, but that's normal.
NATE
Nice.
TRENT
I'm not going to try again unless she
gets bitchy and tries to give me excuses no one asked for again.
NATE
That was ...really hot, actually.
Sebastian
So hot.
NATE
I only disarmed you because she's her
Admin's pet and I don't want us exiled.
TRENT
That's fair.
BEX
Wow! I would have paid money to see that
last part. *teasing a little* but I gotcha.
Admins pet? *snickers* what? 🤣🤣
PENRYN
YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SHE FUCKING MEANS!
STOP PLAYING STUPIDER THAN YOU ALREADY ARE!
4:00 p.m.
SIGYN
So let's see... Trent definitely has the
"if I saw you in a parking lot, I would encourage someone to beat you with
a tire iron/the fact that no one has smothered you with a pillow is SO
SURPRISING TO ME! SO SURPRISING TO ME!" attitude towards Freya, because
he's now just a little bit Malkovich too
like, your favorite
Author's Pet is like a character who's the
author's favorite and gets all the most special of everything, and it's pretty
obvious to the reader, like how it's obvious Trent and Bash are my faves
BEX
She's not my favorite. *giggles* I don't
play favorites. That like choosing between your.... well... children! Bwahahah
PENRYN
Yes you fucking do play favorites. You got your
granny panties all in a twist when Nate cared more about what Xander had to say
than Freya close to their debuts. And the Allya shit I’m not even supposed to
know about yet, but I’m holding that against you too because fuck you.
AVERNA
Snapping one of your character's characterization in half to service another one isn't favouritism?
AKUMA
Averna, I don't think you understand. In Bex's mind, everyone should be servicing Freya at all times.
SIGYN
Ahhhh
I play favorites
My favorite baby is Emmy. Lucius is my
second favorite
BEX
Ok let me rephrase. Heheh I try not to play
favorites. Freya is a witch. The mermaid thing won't last for much longer cause
its just residual from the curse (which in all honesty since she just traumatized
Trent, I think it should wear off when she's deep under water cause I am just
mean like that) 😈😈😈😈😈
SIGYN
Trent is also FURIOUS with Xander for
siding with someone Trent and Nate see as basically worthless, and obviously
Trent's a little upset with George for yelling at him
Xander is my favorite of your OCs so
Trent's rage will probably burn out pretty quickly
BEX
George was just startled with the whole
pulling the knife thing and then slashing Rebecca on accident. He's not used to
violence.
PENRYN
Canon citation needed.
BEX
Xander is just a dick anyway and finding
his voice again has been such fun.
PENRYN
You can’t use that excuse when your “dick
character’s” opinions line up with your other muses AND YOURS.
BEX
Though I need to delve darker into him to
find that really horrible spark that he used to have
PENRYN
We won’t hold our bloody breath.
TRENT skulks back out to join the group,
still seething, but calmer, plus Nate hid his weapons
Nathaniel
and Sebastian follow.
SIGYN
Oh and it's your turn on CXGF, but let's do
a new topic for them heading to Lux
BEX
In tub hiding but sure!
PENRYN
If it’s “sure!” then you don’t need the “in
tub hiding” bit.
GEORGE
hey Trent... (says softly, almost shyly)
I'm....I'm sorry I shouted at you.
*fidgets*
it just startled me is all.
I'm not....used to actions like that. I'm sorry.
TRENT
I get it... It's been a while since I
pulled a knife on anyone, and violence isn't usually my go-to reaction. I'm
sorry I scared you, George. And to be clear, I'm only sorry to George and
Rebecca.
GEORGE visibly relaxes
thanks Trent....
SIGYN
Alright. When you're ready, you can do the
starter of going to Lux & Xander's reaction to meeting Rebecca and Luci
XAN shrugs
makes no nevermind to me one way or another.
ERNEST
Oh, he's having a stroke.
AVERNA
XAN
Life...continues, just as it always has. With or without your
approval.
PENRYN
I don’t approve of your life, which should
make me relieved when you start ghosting next month, but I’d be more satisfied
if someone actually just… ☠ed you.
AVERNA
A villain with his background should know damn well that one person's disapproval can end lives very effectively.
BRIARPHONE
I think he knows Freya isn't taking off the Authorial Fiat Armor any time soon.
CIN
That... is cheating.
BEX
Eeeeeee! He's such a dick! 😆
PENRYN
And, as your mouthpiece, that makes you
a dick too. EEEEEEEE 😆
TRENT
Oh, I know, Xan. If it were up to me,
she would have died her first day here.
FAUSTUS
and if it were up to me, you would
have died my first day here.
TRENT ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
XAN
but it isn't up to you...now is it?
He smirked wickedly.
and trying to change things to suite you is very irrational indeed.
ERNEST
By that logic, beavers are irrational for building dams when they hear flowing water and we're all irrational for building fires when it's cold.
XAN
Needless to say, the same could be said about me.
PENRYN
Everything you bloody well say is needless.
XAN
Had I wished it, on my first day...none of you, save Luci would still be here had I truly been myself.
AVERNA
You don't get credit for hypothetical villainy.
ORION
We all know he's just peacocking.
XAN
Ohhh Luci might have stopped me at some point...that's true. But not
before I ate most of you. My point...why bother raging against the...forgive
me...tides that be? We are all here together now. Best make the best of it
unless you want me to eat you. (teases)
TRENT nods and wraps both arms around
Xander, nuzzling against his chest
ERNEST
Wait, what?
BRIARPHONE
S-tier passive aggression
CYGNET
Or, possibly, fawn response?
SIGYN
//why is Xander saying Trent is changing
things to suit him? That doesn't make sense to me. Trent isn't deliberately
manipulative except when stated, he's just emotional
PENRYN
Because Bex changes shit to suit
herself all the time and she’s projecting her own bullshit onto Trent.
XAN shocked and surprised. Picks him up and unceremoniously drops him into Rebecca's lap
I believe THIS is yours. (says with mild disdain)
keep it on a leash would you. (teasing)
ERNEST
Rude.
XAN
hugging makes
me uncomfortable....no matter how good he smells.
REBECCA
hey! You be nice.
*wraps her arms
around Trent*
BEX
//because that's just how Xander saw it at
that point in time. I guess. He's still not talking to me a lot yet.
Oh goodie...lets kill the witch and make
everything happy and sunshine and the way I want it so I don't have to deal
with her type thing
Xander that's horrible!
PENRYN
It’s not. But the fact that you refuse to at
least put Freya on a bus so no-one has to deal with her is horrible.
SIGYN
That's...not how it is
XAN
I'm a horrible vampire...
AVERNA
Yeah, we noticed.
CIN
If by "horrible vampire" you mean "horrible AT BEING a vampire," then I agree with you.
VAAN
Vear, vear!
XAN
I'm only nice to you lot
PIFFY
I have a sinking feeling that this really means "I'm only evil offscreen, because my writer's allergy to being wrong is stronger than her commitment to writing a dark character"
BEX
He knows...he's just being more of a dick.
I warned you...he's a real nasty piece of work. Lol
PENRYN
You are so full of shit I’m surprised you
ever get off the can.
PIFFY
Seriously, Bex's refusal to accept even the tiniest amount of fault or faux pas or lack of knowledge no matter how small is one of her most frustrating flaws not just as a writer, but as a person.
SIGYN
Trent, Sebastian, and Nathaniel all hate
her, and they all think the world would be a better place if she wasn't in
it. It's not about Trent getting his way, it's about them seeing her as this
obnoxious worthless bitch
TRENT smirks and stretches out on the
couch
Sebastian
You
don't seem to mind me hugging you, at least in side chat.
XAN
because you....
*pauses and finds he
has no answer for that. None that wouldn't hurt at least*
PENRYN
Oh, but he’s such a horrible dick.
Only when it’s a convenient shield for Bex to hide behind, I guess.
PIFFY
He's only a dick when it gets her out of conflicts.
DESMODA
If anyone's conflicted here, it's me. I can't decide if I want to remove his testicles with a hand saw or gauge his eyes out wi... Sorry, Averna.
AVERNA
Do you have a meat grinder?
DESMODA clutches her pearls
Of course I have a meat grinder.
AVERNA
I vote for that
AKUMA
I love write-in ballots!
ILLYBRIUS
This one just says "Akuma".
AKUMA
Exactly!
PIFFY
Is death by Akuma via barrel roll?
AKUMA
... Actually, I was going to ask Drepanon to Mpreg him so he'd have a miscarriage and die, but that sounds good, too!
ORION
CIN
In Akuma's defense, Drepanon is also really bad at killing people he's contracted to kill.
AKUMA
And yet, you married him anyway.
CIN
We all have our weaknesses.
Sebastian
Hmm?
[snip audio]
REBECCA
if he says because 'you feed me'
imma slap him!
XAN
not what I was thinking at all!
Sebastian
DON'T slap him.
REBECCA
that's a harsh, cruel answer if
that's the only reason he let's you hug all over him though
XAN
...........
Sebastian
No, it
isn't.
REBECCA
really? Wow...would be for me
*chuckles*
PENRYN
Shockingly, nobody arsed you. I mean, asked
you.
Sebastian
Most
relationships-- friendships, partnerships, business associations-- are
transactional at their core. You spend time with someone because you get
something out of it, whether it's enjoyment of their company, sex, food, money,
or something else.
PIFFY
If it wasn't OOC for her to ask questions like a normal person, Hellebore would be like "Most...?"
BRIARPHONE
She keeps giving me strings of bone beads for being nice to her and I don't know what to do with them.
CIN
I have a few creative--
AKUMA
No.
CIN
But Akuma, bead curtains!
AKUMBOB CHICKEN
BeAd CuRtAiNs
XAN
that you understand that....makes me
like you more.
Sebastian
If
he lets me cuddle with him because I feed him, it feels better to me than him
not letting me touch him at all.
Thank you. I am occasionally capable of
pragmatism.
XAN chuckles softly
it's not solely that
though. Feeding is a personal bond that not many realize. Bash isn't just
giving me his blood...he's giving me his trust, his entire being and whether he
realizes it or not, his inner most emotions.
PIFFY
That's actually a really interesting take on vampire bites.
AKUMA
Yes, which makes it even more harrowing when Xander starts neglecting Sebastian later.
Sebastian
...so you... realized I liked you before this
lot started teasing me about it? But you seemed surprised when Nate laid it
out.
BEX
Gotta call cheye back. Brb
TOKIOMI
Okay, I believe you!
(4:43 p.m.) [snip baby video (Sigyn)]
SEBASTIAN
(6:47 p.m.) Hey,
Xander? I have a question. How come you protected Freya earlier?
LUCIFER
Better question: how come Faustus
didn't?
XAN
(7:02 p.m.) Because no one here should be threatened in any way with violence, whether or not they did wrong....
*tilts his head, listening to Lucif*
Probably because he is your
admins muse and didn't like being dunked? Maybe?
PENRYN
“No-one here should be threatened with
violence”? But Xander used to torture and kill people for fun and he’s a
horrible, immoral person? Riiight.
AVERNA
I am revoking his serial killer club membership. With my knife.
TRINKET helpfully flies over with a small grindstone.
BEX
Yea...Freya's gone quiet. like...deathly
quiet.
To be honest, I am in a mood, since Steve
wants to 'talk'. the night isn't turning out so hot.
PENRYN
I hope Freya stays deathly quiet. I hope
she stays silent as the god-blessed GRAVE. FOREVER.
SIGYN
🙁
Wants to talk about what?
BEX
us...why have I been silent the last few
days. things that both have done to piss the other off, venting type thing that
I am no good at.
SIGYN
Aww
I'm sorry, that sounds rough
PENRYN
Wow, so, your babydaddy wants you to communicate like an actual fucking ADULT, and that's putting you in a bad mood? GEE.
TRENT
I disagree with your first point.
Besides, you've threatened us once or twice
XAN
Again...vampire. It is in my nature to
do so because you are simply food
TRENT
That's a copout and you know it.
AVERNA
Guys who put on the "think of what I do as a natural disaster, not a crime" thing are so obnoxious.
PIFFY
You are dating a walking disaster zone. Like, the bread and butter of that campaign is that superviolence follows you guys everywhere you go.
AVERNA
And we own our superviolence.
Sebastian
Please don't fight 🥺
XAN
Whose fighting?
Sebastian
I
don't want you to start fighting, either of you
Xander, um... Can I take to you in private?
XAN
Of course....
*leaves the room with Bash*
Sebastian
(there is no way to ask that won't be awkward
so he decides to be blunt) How big of a need for you is sex? Do you get cranky
if you haven't gotten laid in a few days?
Surprised by the question, Xander simply stands there a moment, blinking.
XAN
It is not a big thing for me. Sadly, after one dies, one's body does not...
*clears throat*
...work like it would if you were alive. I need to feed, before I can even
*blushes*
get hard. And it is not something that I need in order to live, so no, after a while, you simply get used to not doing it. In your case, for example... Food and Air are needs....sex is not. And after a while of not engaging, you get used to it.
*shrugs*
PIFFY
I feel like "Vampires can't have (good) sex" is a trope I've seen before but I don't remember where, except that it was a "desuifier" on the Mary Sue Litmus Test. Seems kind of arbitrary.
Sebastian
I
was just asking because Maze has been gone for a few days. I, um... it's a
living for me, since I'm waiting on the Bar
I went without for 31 years and it was
excruciating for at least half that time.
I didn't want the others teasing us in case
they thought I was hitting on you, which I'm not. That's why I pulled you aside
to ask.
XAN
Indeed she has been, and I miss her,
but no, it is not a pressing need for me. True, the desire is there at times,
because I still do have the 'hormones' or the sensations for it that flood me,
as it does you, but it is not all encompassing.
PIFFY
Okay, I know that all previously-living biology is arbitrary, because it turns out that you actually really do need most of your organ systems online to be up and about, but if you don't have enough blood circulating in you by default to get it up, how are hormones being distributed through your body?
Sebastian
Okay, that's good. Otherwise, I was going to
say, well, I know I'm not exactly your type, but you could... for more than
blood, you know... if it became a pressing need. But it's not, so cool. All
good, then.
ERNEST
Oh no they're doing the endearingly shy not-wanting-to-say-the-sex-word thing. >///>
AKUMA
It's because Blander keeps insisting that he's straight.
SERLEINA
THE SEX WORD!!!
XAN
I appreciate that, Bash. Really, I do. Thank you. (he said with a small smile)
Things are changing so fast sometimes,
it is more then I can wrap my head around. But my needs, as of now, are seen
to. Though that means a lot you saying such.
Sebastian
You're... welcome. I was a little afraid you'd
be mad at me for asking.
XAN
Asking is but the way to the Light wee
one. It is when one does not ask but does instead that leads to darkness.
AVERNA
Okay, Yoda.
ERNEST
I only break out the "addressing grown mortals like they're children" strategy when I'm trying to turn someone down but being straightforward would be politically complicated.
TOKEN the fluffy black dragon
(Ansemnort Voice) One who knows nothing can understand nothing.
Sebastian smiles
I'm trained as a lawyer, remember? (he teases slightly)
(in the main room)
TRENT
Just to be clear, I didn't pull a
knife on her JUST because she pulled Faustus under. It's her fucking snotty
attitude about it that I can't stand. Think like a HUMAN, Freya. If you had a
phobia and you, in any way, witnessed someone else in a situation of that
phobia, would you not immediately empathize with them? And people think I'm a
psychopath.
Sebastian
Speaking of which....
*Returns to the main room*
Duckie.
TRENT
Hmm?
Sebastian
That
was rash of you.
TRENT
Are you fu--
Sebastian
Next
time, no witnesses.
TRENT
. . . . . . Okay.
AVERNA
That's what I like to see in a lawyer.
XAN
Indeed....but sometimes I wonder, just
what side you like playing on best. (he teased back. Returning to the room as
well)
GEORGE gulps playfully and cuddles up to
Nate
Sebastian
Sorry, I didn't understand that.
TRENT
He likes men.
Sebastian
I
don't think that's what he meant.
NATE snuggles George affectionately
XAN
I meant between Light and Dark...sheesh
PIFFY
Come to the dark side. We have cookies.
AKUMA
I'm sorry, all I heard was that he wants to be sandwiched between the Twin Goddesses, Hikari and Yami.
PIFFY
Hot
TRINKET wrinkles his snout and sticks out his tongue in disagreement with Piffy.
GEORGE smiles up at Nate in adoration
TRENT
Mmmmhm.
Sebastian
There are some things I like in the light, and
some things I like in the dark 😉
NATE
Xander, you're kind of....
XAN raises his eyebrow
Yesss?
NATE
Cute. When you're flustered by us
mocking you incessantly
...I'd say no homo, but let's be honest. A
little bit of homo, as a treat.
XAN clenches his teeth and stares at Nate,
his eyes narrowing slightly before he takes on a 'I don't care' expression
SIGYN
//so, for the new starter where they head
to Lux, are you gonna do that tomorrow? I figure you might
PENRYN
She’s going to put it off as long as
possible while making as many cutesy excuses as she thinks you’ll buy.
BEX
yea, my mind is all sorts of screwy right
now. lol I am actually gonna work on it later tonight
PENRYN
Exhibit A.
NATE
See, like now. That's adorable.
Sebastian
Nathaniel. Mm-mm, no.
XAN actually sticks his nose in the air
like some haughty aristocrat and humphs
AVERNA
What are you, twelve?
CIN
Are you sure he's acting twice Epiphany's age?
AVERNA
Good point. Little Doc is less embarrassing than this.
VAAN
I vhink he was turned somevere in his late tventies or early vhirties.
PENRYN
... that's our age group, wtf?
PIFFY
He acts like he was human for 0 years
CYGNET
He acts like he read about humans in a book once.
PIFFY
Yeah. His behavior does not gel even slightly with his alleged life experience. Prodigy general my ass
TRENT chortles slightly, but tries to hide it
Xander.... It's okay. It's something we like. It makes you someone we're
more inclined to try to get along with.
SIGYN
Alrighty. For Academy, I'm thinking she
communes with various creatures in the various seas and maybe gets advice on
the best place to have her wedding + maybe some life advice for the days ahead?
Or decides which beach is most hospitable based on marine life?
BEX
sounds good to me....if she ever comes
back. Damn girl gone MIA. *chuckles*
NATE
HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!
TRENT
...are we in the SCA now?
XAN
You would not be saying that if you knew the real me.
PIFFY
You mean the villain Bex is afraid to write?
CIN
Who could ACTUALLY be complex and interesting?
VAAN
Ve Corri Villains may all do the same tired villainous bullshit, but at least ve do villainous bullshit onscreen! An important vistinction.
XAN looks around and smirks
ok, maybe a FEW of you would....
TRENT
I would.
NATE
I would.
Sebastian
I
like you no matter what.
LUCIFER
The "real you" would
probably arouse those three.
FAUSTUS
....
HELENA
I don't like you either way, so.
XAN
That's what I am afraid of. (teases)
REBECCA
Xander isn't all that bad...a bit
of a dick, but he's ok
Sebastian
He's
amazing 🥺
NATE
He has his moments.
TRENT
Sometimes I like him more than
others, but overall, I enjoy his company.
XAN
I am a dick, it's ok. I eat people for
fun...and have no moral compass at times. (half teasing)
TRENT
what's a moral compass is that
something you eat
NATE
If you don't have a moral compass,
Xan, why were you lecturing Trenty about his behavior earlier?
XAN
No...that is something inside of you
that tells you what is right and what is not
AVERNA
Don't dodge the question.
AKUMA
If you can dodge questions, you can dodge a ball!
DESMODA
Pass the C4. Let's test that theory.
AKUMA
I said BALL.
DESMODA
You can shape angry play-doh into a ball.
HELENA
cause he hates seeing his own
psychopathy reflected in others? Just a guess
XAN
I said SOMETIMES I don't have one...not
that I don't.
PIFFY
Are you saying that you have an internal moral compass you often ignore, an external one you don't always have around, or are you just admitting that your characterization changes on a dime for authorial convenience?
TRENT
The only thing inside of me that
tells me what's right and what's not is buried several inches insi--
Sebastian
Okay.
CAT
Wow...what did I walk in on?
RUS
The feeling is mutual.... Here we go
DESMODA hands Rus a flask
You're gonna need this. And no, it's not poisoned.
RUS taking it and probably wouldn't have noticed either way.
TRENT
the rest of my compass is external
ORION
At least Trent's open about the fact that his internal moral compass is his sweet spot and his external moral compass is his dick.
Rus
Is that a bad thing?
Boian
..... Yes
Rus
My dick makes a great moral compass,
as does my fist.... But to each their own
ILLYBRIUS, pleased
See? Rus gets it.
CAT
Please tell me you all aren't talking
about sex again? (teases)
ORION, pleased
As a matter of fact, I am!
NATE
Hey, Cat. Your brother pulled a knife
on the annoying one earlier.
Blaze
Hey Nate, snitches get stitches
Rus
And end up in ditches
CYGNET
I'd advise against threatening him with a
good time.
NATE
It was hot.
I hid the knife though
CAT rolls eyes
Can't we ever just have a normal night here?
*giggles*
No killing attempts, no over the top sexual
exploits...
REBECCA
Where would the fun in that be?
*smirks*
TRENT
exactly. Thank you, babygirl
REBECCA
You're welcome, Trenty Bear.
Rus
"That sounds more boring than prisons
solitary confinement"
Blaze
"You'd know. How was that by the way?'
Rus
"Well, considerably better than your
time stuck helping take care of the crazies"
Blaze
"You have a point... I'd have
slept"
Rus
"I played with myself all day and
thought of you"
Blaze
"Thank you, I'm touched"
Pat
"But can we please have a night where......"
Rus
"Shut up!!"
CIN
Can we have a night where we watch Rus
touch Blaze?
BLAZE
"Yes"
winking, pointing and smirking.
Sebastian
Duckie also seems to think his moral compass
is connected with his pleasure centers
TRENT
I'm a guy, so...
Pat
"Finally, bloody someone is making
sense"
Rus
"And it's Trent!" 😂
Sebastian
...fair
CAT
Yea....no....that isn't what a moral compass is.
AVERNA
No, he has a point.
BLAZE
Shut up CAT!
AKUMA
Right?
CAT looks over at Xander
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TELLING HIM!? (teases
with a laugh)
XAN
Hey! I didn't say anything like THAT
TRENT
If it feels good, it is good.
Trentesis 10:28
CAT
Not always, No.
*bites her lip with a
smirk*
Blaze
"And that is SO unattractive"
TRENT
Yes always, yes.
CAT
It can feel good to smack someone
around but it doesn't mean it's right.
AVERNA
Okay first of all I am entitled to--
PIFFY
Cat why does your brain immediately go to hitting people?
THRENODY (the blue dragon) points a paw at Averna and nods fervently
Blaze
"And? Cat's point is? I broke Jimmy's
drums and felt fucking great"
Rus
"I shanked a guard and it felt
phenomenal... Stop talking about this dumb shit"
Blaze
"She's just trying to judge everyone
else's morals at this point... Well Trent specifically I suppose is who's the
topic"
Boian
"Isn't he her brother?"
Blaze
"YUP!"
DÉSMODA
He should try smacking HER around instead.
TRENT
It is if you don't get caught.
CAT
See? That's why I worry about you sometimes, Bro.
*eyes furrow*
TRENT, cheerfully
I'm fine
CAT
Hmmm...ok.
*shrugs*
If you say so
Boian
"Excuse me while I judge you with no
real point to it"
TRENT
I can do this, though.
His body
gives off a black glow and his eyes burn black as well.
LUCIFER immediately goes up and claps a
firm hand on his shoulder, forcing it to die down.
Do not do that.
8:00 p.m.
Sebastian
That...didn't look like lust.
LUCIFER
It was not.
XAN instinctively hisses, fangs long as
his eyes go jet black. Moves back so fast, he nearly trips over the sofa in an
attempt to get away!!
PENRYN
What a fucking drama queen.
PIFFY
Yyyyeah. It'd be different if this were in line with some consistent character trait, but it seems out of nowhere here.
TRENT
Oh-- sorry!
XAN
You stay away from me! No human can do that!
*practically cowers in a dark corner*
TRENT
I... Xander, it's okay! It... I'm not
going to hurt you...
AVERNA
Why not?
VAAN
Ves, a vexcellent question.
CIN
Almost a bexcellent question, but not quite.
Rus
"See here.... Scary Vampire.... Blah
Blah blah.... Is now pussy vampire wah wah wah"
mocking a Dracula impression.
Blaze
"Also note.... Trent SHOULD have
fucking hurt him. Stop being a perform a stop it from now on Lucifer. Someone
needs to brutalize this little pussy ass mother fuckin bitch of a ...." (rambling)
Pat
"BLAZE!!"
Blaze
"Sorry... "
VAAN
No, no, ve's right.
PIFFY
So is it just me or did Bex just turn Trent's power reveal into being about Xander? I feel like she'd have been salty in the opposite situation, like if Fire Horse Show had triggered one of Gyn's characters out of nowhere and caused them to frea-- Oh, wait, she did that earlier this very chat about the water thing.
Rus
"N'yess, N'yesss my evil plan to have
the world pity me is all coming together! MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Blaze
"Seriously.... I agree with the
Piff... this turned into a shit show and he might as well have had a
miscarriage and DIED"
ORION
That can be arranged….
MAZE teleports in at Trent's side, looking
as fierce as ever, taking a fighting stance
Who summons the demons of the pit?
TRENT
...oops
XAN growls softly, his evil nature trying to come out and failing as his lasting...humanity, refuses.
Blaze
"Oh NO his EVIL NATURE..... How is it
that the devil ex of mine and then their devil don't have evil nature moments
but this Vampire fruit cake from planet fucking Bitchiter is over there having
an evil moment at the same time as being a fucking PUSSY!!!!!?????"
Rus
"Please hold, my evil nature needs
moment"
CIN
Also, LUCIFER is a character in this and he
doesn't have those moments EITHER!
Blaze
"My mother fucking point..... Make
that three devils I've met or heard about and none do this but.... Jesus give
me a cigarette Pat"
Pat snickering and handing him a smoke.
PIFFY
Also, what humanity?
CIN
Humans are capable of great atrocities.
CYGNET
No, she's referring to the fact that Xander acts like he's never had experience BEING human.
XAN
You do not control me! I control myself!
*hisses again and shakes his head*
PENRYN
What’s ironic is that your admin is a
control freak who gets mad when she can’t control others.
[snip audio]
LUCIFER
That is why you do not do that,
Trent.
MAZE
... I missed a few things.
*goes over to comfort Xander*
TRENT
I-- I am so sorry. I thought it was
just straight rage, the way the lust is just-- I had no idea I'd summon
anything or compel-- this was-- I-- I won't do it again
XAN
Haven't you ever been told NOT TO USE
THAT WHAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!
PENRYN
Really? In that case, you shouldn’t use the
entire English language.
AVERNA
How would Soapboxer say this...? Having powers that come with a user manual is a privilege.
LENA
And I'd be correct. Xander needs to check his privilege in every possible way! He's a cis, allegedly straight, white man with superpowers he's had alleged centuries to master!
NATE
u mad bro
XAN
Mad? mad? MAD?
*reacts without thinking, shoving Maze aside and moves so fast that before anyone realizes it, he has Nate pinned to the nearest wall by his throat, squeezing tightly enough to hurt, growling like a ravaged animal*
How about now? Do I seem mad....to you....?
Rus
"No, I think he seems happy to ali...
I mean dead. He is happy to be dead and making sure this situation remains
focused on him only"
Blaze
"I was filled with extreme aggression
and rage before we started this. I may now explode"
XAN hisses and squeezes harder, anymore pressure and you all would hear bones cracking
BEX
OHHHHHHHHHHHH
NATE moans
Pat
"Someone should tell the wee bugger Nate just jizzed his pants"
ORION
That's normal for him.
AKUMA
I think Bex did, too!
ORION
That's disgusting, Akuma.
AKUMA
You're right, brother-cousin who's raped me multiple times. It is disgusting.
TRENT
Hey, back off him!
SIGYN
//whoa déjà vu. I had a dream where he did
that
BEX
// REALLY! COOL!
XAN growls at Trent, baring his fangs
Shut it Human! This is YOUR fault!!
Rus
"Only a few moments ago... Was he not.... WAH WAH WAH! Now rather
suddenly he has grown his testicles back enough to not only become angered but
confront the very person he supposedly fears. My brain hurts...."
Sebastian tentatively touches Xander's arm
Hey... hey....
XAN turns to face Bash with a growl, soft
snarls echoing from his chest but for some ungodly reason, his hold lessens on
Nate so he can at least breathe, and his growls slow
Sebastian
Xander, it... must have been so shocking to
you. Are you going to be okay?
PIFFY
Contrast how Bex's side reacted to Trent's significantly lesser outburst.
LUCIFER had started to move, but now sits
back to see how this goes
MAZE raises her eyebrows but also watches, a little bit baffled by what's going on
XAN's eyes are still pitch black, a sure sign that the Xander everyone likes, isn't at home! He hasn't even remotely let go of Nate yet, and it looks like any action could tip the scales again. Yet, His head tilts a little at hearing Bash's voice and he snarls, but doesn't make a move one way or another
Rus
"Aw yes, the moment of someone get
your man before he does something awful..... Or doesn't because he is big fat
pussy"
Blaze
"Fucking why is no one else just
beating the absolute shit out of this stupid pansy fuck!!??"
BEX
//he's kinda like an animal at this point.
He's been triggered. Hehehehe
PENRYN
Then someone should probably berate him
about how violence isn’t okay and make things a hundred times worse.
PIFFY
Right? But also I really do not like the way Bex
A) just compared people with PTSD to animals and
B) did so in a way that minimizes or negates Xander's (and her) responsibility for his actions
Sebastian
Helena, I have an idea. Could you get the
knife, please?
HELENA
That's a huge fucking gamble, mi
amigo.
Sebastian
So
roll the dice.
HELENA
okayyy.
*Gets the knife and makes a
small incision on Bash's arm, then helps him hold it up to Xander's mouth*
SIGYN
//figure it'll either calm him down or make
him crazier & Luci will have to step in
XAN's attention sprang to the scent of
fresh blood like a bloodhound on a trail. A deep rumbling growl echoed out of
his chest, as if deciding before he dropped Nate haphazardly to the floor and
grabbed Bash's arm a little harder then he normally would and bit into him like
a rabid dog! Growling as he drank...but soon, it seemed that he started to
calm.
PIFFY
Again, rabid dog? And I don't know about you, but if I tried to growl while drinking something, I would fail to drink it and make a very unimpressive gurgling noise, because air can't come up at the same time liquid is going down.
CIN
Sebastian probably shouldn't let Xander bite him if Xander's got rabies.
RUS
"There are many types of vampires to
my knowledge. Now what I wish to focus on is the fact that..... Xander is
SpARkLy puss... Not savage puss ...
VAAN
I roll around in glitter and I’m more
savage vhan vhis disappointment.
RUS
I would expect this type of animalistic
behavior from Skorpa, Morbius even, and I could sit here and come up with names
all day but my point is....... Everything this vampire does contradicts
himself. Evil.... Cries on floor. Rabid animal... But only drinks sophisticated
blood and it cannot be tainted" (Rus finished with a very convincing
'Bah!' like Sofia's fucking dad.)
Blaze
"Ok but like all of that could sound
like a very compelling character or person.... Decent thoughts, poor execution.
All he comes off as is the type of guy I'd have shanked in prison for
existing"
BEX
SIGYN
oh fuck yes
NATE stands up and strides to George
I
need you. Now.
Sebastian cries out in mixed pleasure and pain, smiling as he feels Xander begin to relax
GEORGE nods and pulls Nate down to kiss him passionately, growling softly in turn
Rus
"Requirements in this room.... Growl
whilst doing something"
Boian randomly growling.
Blaze
"Oh great now he's started"
Trinket growling right back at him.
Boian pulling his blanket over his head to actually hide now.
NATE grinds against George as he straddles and kisses him
XAN slows and pulls back to look at Bash. One eye black, the other blue. Breathing heavily but a small smile crosses his face, only for an instant, before he brings his forehead to rest against Bash's.
XAN
Thank......you......
Sebastian nods
I figured you didn't want Luci to... I mean, you'd want the choice to come down on your own.
REBECCA
Ummmmm....what just happened?
PIFFY
Xander stole Trent's superpower display moment.
AKUMA
This makes me so nostalgic.
FREYA
There is a legend, Singers can not be
hurt by their bonded. Supposed to be pure myth...but guess not.
XAN
No...it's true.
*smirks a bit and goes
to sit down, still shaking a bit*
PENRYN
Spoiler alert.
LUCIFER
You've all seen what happens when
Trent goes pink, red, or white, yes? That's suggestion, lust, and love,
respectively. When he goes black, it's... fury, or hate. He was just showing
off, yes, but if I hadn't stopped him, he'd have tried to kill her again.
It seems he accidentally summoned Mazikeen
as well, and enthralled Xander without touching him
GEORGE moans and picking Nate up, carries
him to the nearest bedroom
XAN
He didn't enthrall me. Darkness of that
kind should NEVER be used if one does not know how to use it. I AM darkness as
well, it called to mine, made me uncontrollable. It is not a game or a toy to be
bandied about
PIFFY
I'm sorry, but you sound like a Kingdom Hearts character and you have zero room to be lecturing other people on ethics.
XEMNAS
We don't claim him.
Blaze screaming
"This man makes me want to commit
VIOLENCE!!!"
Rus
"Oh no, if he could hear you his
darkness would call to .... Never mind I am trying not to throw up"
TRENT
When you say it called to yours, what
would have happened if Lucifer hadn't cured me?
XAN goes silent and looks away
.........................
TRENT
Xander?
XAN sighs
None of you, save Luci and
Maze....would be here right now. Or....I wouldn't be, cause Luci would have
to.....to 'put me down'.
PENRYN
Nope. You can’t decide that about other
people’s characters.
PIFFY
I was already uncomfortable with how much she was comparing Xander to a dog, but now she's going full Of Mice And Men about it and that's really, really not okay.
DESMODA
I would also be upset if someone used a power that took away my free will as a vampire, but in a collaborative setting, that would need to be codified before-hand, not me overreacting because someone else did something my writer didn't know what it was.
Rus
"And all this ..... Talk... He will DO
nothing. None of them ever DO anything ever.... All they do is talk. Blah, blah
blah, I am big bad ass, you are all no match for me now please bow down and
worship my tiny dead pee-pee"
ILLYBRIUS
But only if you’re a WOMAN! Because MEN are
ICKY and I'm STRAIGHT!
AKUMA
Illybrius, you cheated on me with my
brothercousin.
ILLYBRIUS
Yes, but I'm telling you I'm straight so it
must be true.
Rus
"I believe you mean, only if you are
female at birth and presenting as female and if you were male at birth and
presenting as male..... But yes! Do not tell anyone this I am STRAIGHT AS A
RHEGAGEL!"
ILLYBRIUS
What’s a Rumgoggle?
ORION
You said it wrong, it's Regagme
CIN
I'm sure he would. With his penis.
ORION
If I don't gag brushing my teeth, why would
I gag on his needle?
Rus
"Needle? I do believe you mean pinto
bean"
DÉSMODA
Hmm, yes, let’s boil it in water overnight!
Blaze
"Points if you are a virgin as
well!"
Blaze currently sitting there biting his
nails to keep from being full blown
angry.
Rus
"Like Boian!"
More growling from under the blanket.
AKUMA
Yes, because if you're a virgin, you can
BELONG to them after you give them the GIFT of your HYMEN
ILLYBRIUS
Wow, I didn't know we were suddenly in
Hogwarts Exposed.
ORION
No, this is worse.
TRENT
Hmm. So on the bright side, people I don't like
*narrows eyes*
would be gone. On the not so bright side, people I do
like, including me, would be gone.
LUCIFER
I'd not have let it get that far,
nor would I have destroyed you, Xander.
XAN
This is not a game Trent! You don't
just use a power simply because you have it!
TRENT
Not with you in the room, anyway, you
might kill me, or more importantly, Rebecca.
XAN
I am NOT some mindless pawn you can control!
Rus
"Behaves like mindless animal.... Five
seconds later is screaming he is not a mindless pawn..... My brain is hurting
again"
XAN is getting angry again
Using the lust power, ok, that's funny in a
way. To see people become blathering idiots over you or whoever else uses it
cause they wouldn't normally otherwise! But this...this Darkness is NOT
something to be used. AT ALL. Whether I am in the room or not!
PENRYN
Why the hell can't Trent use a power his writer gave him? He's not YOURS, nor BEX'S CHARACTER, to control. You're not allowed to decide whether his abilities are "to be used" whether you're in the room or not.
Rus
"Because Xander lied and manipulated
everyone ... He would have melted SOFTLY if it was Lucifer in this situation
and not Trent"
CIN
I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to
fuck Lucifer.
POST-EDIT RENA
He does.
TRENT
Xander, hey. I don't want to
control you. That's never been my goal.
BEX
// he is really pissy ehehehe
PENRYN
We have functioning eyes.
…
Sorry, Averna.
TRENT
You, um... Has someone tried to do
that in the past? Used Darkness to ...have you do things?
XAN
Then stop looking at it like it's a good thing! DEATH of ANY kind is never a good thing! And yes, I can say that because I AM dead! This is not the life I would have chosen for myself....and it comes with perks and faults.
He actually growls again as his fists ball.
YES! (he actually yells)
YES, And I'll be damned if a FRIEND does so again!
In any way, shape or form!
TRENT
I'm sorry. Hey.
*Cups Xander's cheek, the way he would with Bash to calm him down*
I promise you, I did not mean to
upset you or make you feel trapped. I won't do it again.
XAN pulls back but in a way so that he doesn't hurt Trent
You were not given permission to touch me. (snarls softly)
See that you don't!
PENRYN
You talked a big game yesterday about how
if you wanted to touch Trent, no-one could stop you. Why is it
only your consent that matters?
TRENT
Oh, okay. I take it back, then. I'm
not sorry.
I'm actually trying to be your friend and you're...
*gestures*
XAN
Does no one understand boundaries in
this group? I don't like to be touched, doesn't mean I am rejecting you!
PENRYN
DO YOU UNDERSTAND BLOODY FUCKING
BOUNDARIES?! NO! YOU DON’T! NEITHER DOES FREYA AND NEITHER DOES YOUR GODFORSAKEN
ADMIN!
Blaze
"This is why we can't have nice
things"
TRENT
All I understand is that you got mad
at me for something I didn't know I was doing. I tried to comfort you the same
way I would any of my friends.
Sebastian visibly torn between the two of them
TRENT
All you EVER do, Xander, is lecture
me, like you're somehow better than me despite the fact that my body count is
only 2, and yours is probably a lot more than that!
And I think it CAN be a good thing when
people die! There are a lot of people this world would be better off without.
But you're not one of them so stop projecting your past onto me.
Rus
"We clearly need a version of the Poor
Nathaniel for Trent this time. Considering by now I for one would have knocked
this pussy’s teeth from his mouth"
Blaze
"In this moment instead of talking.
Trent should have bludgeoned his face in"
XAN
I got 'mad' because what you did, not knowing, tripped something inside me that should never be tripped. EVER! You don't play with peoples feelings simply cause you can and not knowing that that would happen is not good enough. Something was going to happen, cause cause and effect.
He goes silent and stands once more.
I feel sorry for you, and for
those that love you. If you can't see that what YOU did hurt me in a way that
should be obvious then you are truly lost....
Rus
"News flash little pansy vampire. No
one cares. You are lucky no one killed you in this situation...... And back to
what Trent said. Absolutely not. The world would be a much shinier place
without this fucking bitch"
PENRYN
This reads like a Bex Tantrum. Like she’s
jealous that Trent has another new ability, so she’s having Xander throw a fit
out of nowhere.
TRENT
WHY is it that that little BITCH
FREYA gets to go "oh, I said I was sorry" and people are expected to
forgive her, but when I apologize numerous times, YOU KEEP FUCKING LECTURING
ME?
you know what? Fuck it.
*glows bright red and grabs Xander by the wrist, knowing he's probably going to get hurt and not caring*
Kill me if you
want, you self-righteous, holier-than-thou bastard
XAN
Yes, I am a killer. But at least I have
a reason for it. I have to feed and until very recently, I enjoyed it. The
hunt, the playing and torturing, the kill. I still do, but I have curbed that
side considerably. Even more so since I bonded with Bash. Hurting him....do you
have ANY idea what would happen to me if I hurt him, and I am not just
talking about Luci....
PENRYN
Where the hell do YOU get off calling him "Luci"?
Rus
"I retract my words. He is still pussy
but..... Legitimate evil at best. He is very easily with no conscience making
himself out to be god. Deeming everyone else to be his lessers and finding
reasons to justify himself and seem righteous. If you both killed a hooker.
Trent would be deemed evil, wasteful, and a bad person. Xander would be saying
'I do it because I cannot help myself BLAH WAH BLAH!!!!'"
Pat
"He could eat rabbits!"
Rus
"He could eat my shit"
Sebastian
Guys, don't—
damn it!
*throws himself between them and pries
Trent's hand off Xander*
LUCIFER physically pulls Trent back
BEX
// bright red? is that the lust side
or...??
SIGYN
//yes, that shade of red is like EXTREME
lust
//it's an 8/10. Burgundy is 10/10
XAN smirks a bit as Trent grabs him
See? Thank you for proving my point....this side, doesn't work on me. I am already dead....
*snarls and bares his fangs*
PENRYN
PARTY FOUL! FUCKING RHINO-HIDING!
TRENT takes the knife from Helena, and
before anyone can stop him, slices down the underside of his forearm
Rus
"Aw, yes.... I have done this. For much
different reasons but I am pleased something happened to gain attention away
from Xander’s royal cunt"
ILLYBRIUS
That wasn’t his intention, but if you’re
happy, we’ll take it!
Rus
"Well I do not know you all well....
So from an outsider’s point of view. Even if he'd died at least he'd not have
to deal with this for a time"
Blaze
"Has anyone ever told you that you
have issues?"
Rus
"Takes one to know one"
Blaze
"Ok true.... "
Pat
"Well we all know death has happened
with them before. So .... Worry for Trent? No... He'd have been ok eventually.
Sad for Trent? I think we all are"
Rus
"Debatable...... I still think he
should have at least committed some sort of Kamikaze"
Blaze
"OK moving on!"
AKUMA
Should I do a barrel roll?
ORION
No, stupid, he said MOVING ON!
Sebastian, visibly panicked
Duckie?!
REBECCA
WTF!
*moves to intercept Xander, turning when she hears Bash's scream*
TRENT! TRENT!
TRENT looks dispassionately down at his arm
I don't... feel it.
The smell of blood hits Xander like a slap to the face and he grabs Trent up, by the hem of his shirt and roars at him as he is pressed to the nearest wall.....but he makes no move after.
XAN
Is
this what you want? Do you like this? Do you like being food for the Immortals!
Do you like DYING! (he snarls, drops him and darts into another room, trying to
calm down)
Sebastian kneels by Trent and helps him sit
Duckie, why...?
TRENT
I... I'm not the selfish one. I was
trying to make up. But it doesn't matter what I say or do. He's always going to
think they're justified and we aren't.
BEX
drat...hehehe....he just pulled a IWV move
too. 😛
Blaze
"Moving on to someone MORE insensitive
than Ruslan’s psychotic ass"
PENRYN
Someone with a mental illness just tried to ☠ himself and your reaction is “drat
hehehe movie reference 😛”. You are a horrible person.
Rus
"Oh my.... Teehee OMG he could have
died!!!"
BEX
SIGYN
//I've seen the movie.
9:00 p.m.
BEX
// yeaaa...great movie. Hehehe
PENRYN
Show some of that fucking empathy you
always claim to have, you insensitive schmuck.
SIGYN
//ok.
//meanwhile Trent was GENUINELY trying to
apologize and Xander kept just berating him for no reason.
//so yeah, he just slit that artery in his
arm
PENRYN
The fact that she had to spell out for
you that someone who already had a meltdown today just tried to ☠ himself
fucking astounds me.
BEX
Xander was pissed! When he gets that way,
and that high, it is not an instant come down.
PENRYN
He drove someone to attempted ☠. Your argument is invalid.
SIGYN
That's great but Trent was also pissed AND
still triggered from earlier AND actually tried to empathize with Xander
(From other room)
XAN
BASH!
*has a peace offering of sorts,
for Trent, but doesn't think he can look at the man who triggered him just yet
without trying to eat him...much to his shame*
LUCIFER
Trent, do you want me to--?
Sebastian
Why
are you asking? just HEAL HIM!
TRENT
No.
Don't heal me. I'm sick of this
REBECCA
Don't be ridiculous Babe.
Blaze
"NOOO NOT THIS DUMB BITCH NEXT!"
CIN
Oh, good, you've seen Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
REBECCA
This is
serious! I would miss you, and you promised....please don't do this. Please.
PENRYN
STOP MAKING SOMEONE ELSE’S ☠ ATTEMPT ABOUT YOU!
Rus
"Wait, hold up.... It took him slitting his arm for the woman who loves him supposedly to come to his defense! This is why I don't date.... "
Blaze
"She doesn't actually care even now. It's all about her"
DÉSMODA
Why did she come to his defence?
TRENT
I had a reason for killing my father
and my aunt and it wasn't FOOD.
Nothing so BASE as that.
REBECCA
No one is saying you didn't. Don't
listen to him nor let his actions define yours....please.
TRENT
and Xander, if lust doesn't affect
you, why did you react when Nathaniel accidentally flared up when you bit him.
He implied it.
Sebastian
Duckie, please, I love you, please don't do
this.
XAN growls when it seems he is being ignored and comes back out
Rus
"HE WASN'T gEtting AttEntion OH
NO!!!"
Blaze
"Sit the fuck back down honey boo boo,
you had your moment"
XAN
Lust doesn't effect me, not in the way it effects you.
*sits down and shoos everyone away from Trent and takes the mans arm into
his own*
Sebastian runs to the other room and screams out through his tears
GEORGE! NATHANIEL!
GEORGE pauses
Listen...is that...Bash?
TRENT jerks away, looking at Xander with
deepest loathing
Sebastian
Oh
my God I don't have time for this! IT'S TRENT HE'S
XAN looks at Trent and sighs deeply, it almost sounding like a growl
I am trying to apologize here....let me...
*holds
out his hand again*
TRENT
what, like you let me apologize?
BLAZE
"FUCKING TELL HIM TRENT!!! FUCK!"
Rus
"Yeah, how does it feel you waste of
blood?"
VAAN
I'm fine, vhank you
GEORGE
What! What about Trent!
Sebastian completely hysterical, but grabs them both by the arm and drags them out
XAN looks into Trent's eyes and sighs again
I am NOT human, Trent. My reactions are different then yours. Not an
excuse, I know, but what happened.....frightened me.....the last time someone
used that type of power around me, I remember nothing. For 4 years. Nothing.
PENRYN
I don’t give a shit about your stupid
fucking bullshit expansion pack backstory that isn’t even anywhere in your
character sheet.
MAZE
Actually, he has a good point. Why DID
you shove Nate off your lap when he started to glow--?
Sebastian
Mazikeen! Not the time!
GEORGE follows Bash and sees all the blood and freaks out
Trent! What the hell! What is going on!
*rushes to his side*
TRENT
You protected someone I hate, and
wouldn't let me apologize when I accidentally.... Hey, Georgie...
NATE looks from Trent to Xander to
Lucifer, and without thinking, hauls off and aims to punch Xander, but
Sebastian catches his arm.
Blaze
"NO! No ..... No! That should have
happened! Fucking mind controlled obssessed Sebastian damnit!!!"
Rus
"I need shower an break... Before my
brain explodes like Blaze"
Pat
"I'm with you there"
All three looking at Blanket Boian who's
still hiding.
BLAZE
"He left the chat awhile ago"
Blaze groaned.
Sebastian
STOP! Everybody just stop fighting! Lucifer, I
don't care WHAT Trent says, you heal him!
XAN lifts his wrist to his own lips and
bites, blood flows and he hands it out to Trent
Take it....please?
ORION, delighted
That's what HE SAID!
TRENT
Why? What will it do?
XAN
It will heal you. Nothing more....unless you die with it in your system, then you become like me.
Is he
really teasing now?
Please? (said for a second time)
CIN
Oh my gosh, the SECOND TIME! Let’s just
EMPHASIZE THINGS for NO REASON!
AKUMA
I love doing that! =D
TRENT
I said no healing. I don't want to...
XAN
Must I say it a third time? Or will you
fade and leave those around you here who love you to suffer? My legacy will not
last long, drink.
Katt
"No means NO!"
Rus purposely reaching over to grab at
Katt’s junk.
Katt
"NO!!!"
Rus
"Oh, ok... Later?"
Katt
"No means no bitch, pay
attention!"
Rus
"Hmm very interesting... Learn things
every day"
Drake
"And on today's rape awareness
commercial"
DESMODA
Oh, I'm very aware of rape.
AKUMA
Same, but different.
TRENT
Fuck you.
XAN
In due course...maybe....but I am truly
sorry, Trent....
TRENT scoffs weakly before passing out cold.
LUCIFER scoops him up and heals him, then presses a hand to his forehead so he will remain asleep for a while.
Katt
"He said NO DAMMiT!" 😂
LUCIFER
I was
waiting for that.
REBECCA
Is he ok? Will he be alright?!!
Sebastian
WHY
DID YOU WAIT SO LONG?! WHAT IF HE HAD ACTUALLY DIED? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
LUCIFER
Who knows?
XAN sighs softly, not sure what he thinks
or feels now
PENRYN
No-one cares.
Rus (a
metal singer)
"SOFTLY!!!!!!"
Katt (a
metal singer)
"SOFTLYYYY!!!!!!!"
Drake
"Me ears!!!!"
LUCIFER
He will live, if that's what you're
asking.
GEORGE
This hatred will get us all killed. Absolutely ridiculous.
*so so so SOOO mad he's shaking*
and not just at Freya...I mean between all of us! Whenever we fight...something like this happens! It's INSANE and I can't....
*shakes head as tears start to fall*
Katt
"Oh fucking Jesus McNuggets this
fucking guy!!!"
PENRYN
SHUT THE FUCK UP, GEORGE! IN WHAT
UNIVERSE ARE YOU HELPING? IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS YOUR INPUT WANTED, NEEDED, OR
WARRANTED?
NATE
Firstly, nobody cares about Freya, so
that's irrelevant
But...
*pulls George close and cuddles him*
MAZE
Actually, this is the first time I've
seen any of these idiots slit their wrist.
GEORGE grips Nate tightly as he really
starts to cry. This whole thing...terrified him. Seeing Trent that way really
upset him.
PENRYN
HOW DO YOU THINK THE PERSON WITH THE
SEVERED GODDAMN ARTERY FEELS, YOU USELESS, SELF-CENTERED BUGFUCK CUNT!!!!!
REBECCA is so distraught she sits quietly
by Luci and Trent. Hoping things will be alright.
XAN shakes his head
Humans can be stupid.... (mutters under his breath)
No wonder I used to hate them all.
CIN
Um, I used to hate all humans too, but not for
the same idiotic reasons you do. You’re worse than any of them.
Katt
"So let me get this straight. No one
is focused on you mixed with the fact you caused all of this by being a dick
headed cunt breather and it's the HUMANS you hate? Makes sense"
Rus
"This what I told you about. He is
just sitting there hating with his self-absorbed pussy in his hand"
Drake
"Why is he even still THERE at
ALL!"
Sebastian sits next to Xander
So... he did say he won't do it again. The Darkness.
XAN
But he wouldn't let me heal him.....
Sebastian
I
know.
XAN
That's as close to a REAL apology
anyone has ever gotten from me.....except you....and he didn't....believe me?
PENRYN
No, because shockingly enough, his lingering
trauma responses don’t have to be rational or cater to your bullshit FEE-FEES!
Sebastian
He
wouldn't let Luci heal him either.
When he touched you.... I know you don't
like it, but... That's how we ground each other. It's what we grew up doing.
It's all he knows. That, or taking someone's hands, like with Nate. I'm sorry.
I should have warned him.
XAN
Then he touched me.
*huffs*
he doesn't have liberty to do that. I am not you nor Nate nor Rebecca.
*frowns*
He listened and snarled under his breath.
Hands, might have been fine...but the
face, no. That was to---personal.
Rus
"Exhibit A it's back about Xander again..... Poor, poor pussy"
VAAN
VHIS IS VHE PUSSY OF A PEASANT!
CYGNET
So, Freya pulling Faustus underwater without consent is okay because she grew up doing that with Amos, but Trent cupping Xander’s face to ground him is not okay even though he grew up doing that with Sebastian. Have I correctly assessed your double standard?
Sebastian
He doesn't understand, and that's my fault, too. I never... I always let him... and when I tried to calm him down...
*Breaks down crying again*
XAN instinctively pulls Bash into his lap and hugs him, rubbing his back
Don't cry, Bash...please. He will be alright.
*feels helpless for the first time in eons*
Sebastian
I
know, I know, but that was so awful! I know him unleashing that was triggering
for you. You and Lucifer both told him not to do it again and he said he
wouldn't. But, Xander, it almost seemed like y....
Like you didn't want to make up until he
...got hurt.
Although, losing four years ....that must
have been terrifying
PENRYN
You shouldn’t try to appease him. Trent is
the one who needs support, not Xander. This whole thing is reading like an
abusive relationship. I’m genuinely terrified for Steve and Rhett right now.
KATT
"Ok, yeah no..... This is fucked I agree
with Penryn. How did we go from bullying Trent, to Xander falling over for
attention like a...."
RUS
"Like a PUSSY!"
KATT
"Like a pussy. Then Trent killing
himself... And of course instead of Trent or his friends getting Bash's
attention we now have Xander getting full attention and retaking over the
entire show!"
CIN
Now that you mention it, it's especially
egregious that Trent's best friend is the one trying to soothe Xander. I don't
like it.
XAN
I know....the darkness in me can sometimes not be controlled. I don't know when to stop, or how, when that happens.
*sighs and kisses the top of his head*
I didn't mean for him to get hurt. It was a bit dramatic, to be honest, but I didn't want that to happen. I like all of you. You all are the first humans I ever actually LIKED much less bonded to.
*sighs*
Yes, losing 4 years and not knowing what I did or who I hurt, is the scariest thing in the world. (says softly)
SERLEINA
SOFTLYYYYYY!
XANDER squeezing his eyes shut a moment to recenter and not allow the blood tears that wanted to fall, fall.
When I came out of it...I was standing over the body of someone----someone I loved. (says softly)
Rus
"SOFTLLLLY!!!!"
XANDER
I did it, and didn't even know till they released me. So yes, That power....scares me.
Sebastian nestles into Xander and hesitantly reaches up, then thinks better of it and rests his hand on Xander's chest.
That's horrible... I'm so sorry, love.
XAN allows the cuddles, because it makes him feel better, but because Bash is his Bonded, and he can not, even if he wanted to, which he doesn't, hurt him. Ever.
CIN
Remember this for later, folks!
XAN
When Trent used it, just for
that second, he locked me into that control mode...till I was able to pull
myself out. That's----why i think I got so mad. But, he didn't know.....
Sebastian
He's
not going to do it again. And, no, he wouldn't have done it if he knew. He
doesn't... You say you don't think the way humans do. Well, you... you kind of
think more human than he does. He doesn't care about the lives of anyone he
doesn't love.
You said death isn't a good thing, and
it's not, but... it's more like solving a problem. Like... Pest control
XAN chuckles almost sadly
For that, I feel sorry for him. It is a part of being human that I miss, and I fought hard to hold on to.
*shrugs*
Or what else am I?
*looks at Bash, tilting head*
I get you don't like her, but could kill someone simply for that reason? Even being what I am, I couldn't. I would need a better reason then that. I killed someone I loved because of hate. So I fight against it.....
*looks down and sighs again*
I am sorry, if you can not understand that.....but it is the last shred
of me, that makes me---'human'.
Sebastian
You're... a beautiful, powerful, deeply
passionate man. To be honest, I've "solved" more "problems"
than Trent has, and I don't regret it, either. There's more to being a person
than just caring about the lives of faceless masses, or of obstacles. Killing
her because he doesn't like her would be no different to either him or myself
than swatting a fly. In my case, it's more annoyance than hatred. For him...
She has this attitude like she never does anything wrong, even when it triggers
someone else, and to be honest, I've wanted to shiv her once or twice for it
myself. Every time he calls her on something, she has some kind of pompous
self-defense that's infuriating.
But, just so you know, he would never
have-- even if he knew the effect the Darkness had in you, he wouldn't use
you to kill anyone. It's not in his nature. He doesn't... ask that of others.
I did it on my own initiative.
XAN chuckles softly
She's a child....and those who let the words or actions of children effect them this way, is worse then the fussiest child. (only half teasing)
Now...don't look at me like that.
*kisses his forehead*
I am NOT justifying her actions. She has done some pretty fucked up shit, I agree, and I have 'handled' issues in the same way too, but....I don't know...I just don't understand him sometimes. I catch myself pausing and going 'what?' at some of the things that come out of everyone's mouth to be honest.
*smirks*
Yes, even mine...
Sebastian
He
doesn't "let" things affect him, anymore than you "let"
that incident just now affect you.
It was a visceral reaction. Actually, I've
never seen him go that berserk before.
well... Once.
PENRYN
Yeah, Xander, do you fucking understand how
triggers work? Does your admin?
Katt
"Sebastian.... You cannot be on two
sides of a fence. It doesn't WORK!"
CIN
I think he's, like, trying to mediate? but
doing a really bad job of it?
ILLYBRIUS
Yeah, I'm having Corri flashbacks to when
we used to do the same thing
FENNEL
I didn't! I just poisoned Uvall!
Rus
"Xander just needs to shut up. Every
time he speaks it is to try and turn the conversation to himself"
Katt
"Oh Trent's like that? Well here,
here! Let me tell you about ME!"
AKUMA
So did the Corris, except we also did it
to turn the conversation to each other.
ILLYBRIUS
Observe. Orion, my apartment has termites--
ORION
Not now! Akuma's about to have a
miscarriage and DIE!
AKUMA falls down with a dramatic wail
ILLYBRIUS
HELP, I'M BEING EATEN BY MUTANT BUGS!
VAAN
AKUMA'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!
BEX
// honestly I didn't think about that when
I wrote it. I didn't realize...and I probably should but the muses stories have
never crossed in main...so I didn't think it would effect Trent that badly if
Freya did that. So that's on me too.
// what happens in story to story, I can
'separate' my muses...and I didn't realize....sorry.
SIGYN
//dude this was INTENSE
I was literally crying during that whole
thing with Trent bleeding out
and yeah, I mean... it's not so much what
she did, as her snooty reaction when Trent got upset
BEX
now I kinda feel yucky. lol Todays been a
hard day for both of us cause now Xander is growling in my head, and I am
fighting tears myself.
SIGYN
*hugs* My muses tend to just be everywhere
all the time. They're more like tulpa than figments
BEX
*Hugs back*
SIGYN
//Trent's immediate reaction with
triggering Xander was "oh shit I'm so sorry"
//whereas Freya's was "um why are you
mad though I didn't do anything to YOU"
//so the disconnect between how everyone
kind of jumped down Trent's throat, BOTH times, even though he sincerely
apologized and she didn't, was...a lot
BEX
Mine are 'real' to me too, but I find it
easier to keep them in their own spaces except when we are here. lol so their
reactions from story to story don't effect others...cause I have a hydrophobic
muse too and I hide them away whenever there is water. if that makes sense. Bleh;
SIGYN
yeah I can't do that. Mine bleed into
everything I do
BEX
I get it....I understand now. Thanks for
explaining.
CIN
“I understand [that you can’t separate out
your muses/verses].” Remember that for later!
SYKES
This entire part above makes me wanna puke.
Legitimately... She's such a liar. Every word of that was lies. Crying?
Bullshit! She was just mad and asshurt the whole time doing things ic out of
fucking spite!
SIGYN
Going to the gym? Nathaniel. Obsessing over
details? Trent.
Etc.
BEX
mine are more alive in my dreams....unless
Steve catches me doing something when I don't realize it. *snickers* He's
called me Cat once.
"You're being just like your Cat, you
know that right?"
CIN
I'm shocked that he can tell the difference between any of your muses, because I sure as hell can't.
Sebastian
Xander... George... You guys are right, we
shouldn't be fighting so much. We keep swearing we won't and then we do.
PENRYN
This wasn’t a fight that Sebastian’s side
started, so he doesn’t need to apologize. Neither does Trent. This time.
XAN
You know him better then me... (he spoke so softly)
What can---I do?
*actually gulps and hugs Bash tighter*
I
didn't want him to do that. I didn't.
GEORGE sniffles and looks over at Xander and Bash
We should come up with...like a safe word, but for when we are getting ready to fight.
*smirks a little*
Sebastian snuggles in closer and strokes Xander's chest
No one wanted him to... I guess, when he comes to, I just try to explain to him what you explained to me.
Sometimes we on this side are too impulsive
for that and react without thinking.
MAZE
So... Something happened while I was
away. You two are all buddy-buddy, and he calmed you down real quick.
Sebastian
It's... A long story.
Katt
"After getting all the attention he desired
of course! Everything is peachy!"
Rus
"Until someone pulls attention away
from Xander, Allya, Cat or Rebecca everyone!!!!"
CIN
You forgot Freya.
ILLYBRIUS
I wish we could forget Freya.
Rus
"I was being selective or we'd have
been here all day with all those stupid cunts"
CIN
Fair enough.
XAN looks at Maze and holds his hand out for her to join him
He is my blood bonded. Singer....
He smirked a bit,
hoping she knew what that meant.
MAZE joins him without hesitation
Huh,
okay. And who's the new girl?
HELENA
Helena. I'm ...with Cat.
[10:00 p.m. Pacific/12:00 a.m. Central cutoff]
Next!
