[log] we wear red so they don't see us bleed [closed]

Characters: Royce Melborn, Alfie Solomons
Location: Building 141
Date: Day 242, morning
Summary: Both boys are monsters, figuratively and literally.
Warnings: Body horror, possible gore, warnings for other things in subject headers

141: A post office, long-abandoned. There are a few empty white plastic bins where mail was once piled up, and the lobby area is still remarkably clean and polished. The back area isn't locked, so if you like you can go through the back and see the office with its locked safe and the back door that leads to the downtown area. Trees, impossibly tall men, and lots of Ⓧs have been drawn on the walls, along with ball-like things that are made up of tentacles and beaks and death and one circle in green crayon that's been scribbled over in charcoal.

[Alfie's bleeding too, but he can already tell that has long as it doesn't get infected, it's not going to kill him. He's going to leave some stains on their blankets, but he's not thinking about that now. He's trying, for the moment, not to think about much of anything.

He'd meant what he'd told Royce about killing. He's killed a lot of people, sometimes in pretty brutal ways, and he's never regretted it once. Sure, sometimes a situation didn't go the way he'd hoped, but that was different. When it came down to it, he only pulled the trigger (or swung the cane, or slashed the knife) when he was sure that he could deal with the aftermath, and that included the psychological aftermath. There was no room for uncertainty in his life. He couldn't do his job properly if he spent all his time being wracked with guilt.

Alfie feels guilt now. It sits heavy on his chest, keeping him from getting up. So he just lies there on his back - claws splayed out on the floor, blood slowly oozing out of his skin and wetting his fur.

He's alive. He's here. He wishes he wasn't.]

[Once he sees who it is, Alfie answers immediately.]

Are you inside?
devoutish: (your ass haunts me)

[personal profile] devoutish 2017-05-29 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that makes his heart drop into his stomach.]

How bad?
devoutish: (your ass haunts me)

[Alfie closes his eyes.]

Royce.

[He doesn't answer, except for a very quiet pained sigh. He can't right now. Give him a moment.]
devoutish: (your ass haunts me)

[personal profile] devoutish 2017-05-29 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[He heaves a heavy sigh. Royce is dying. There's really no point in trying to keep him from talking to the anomaly, is there?]

She sounds beautiful, mate.
devoutish: (macaroni and wine don't solve problems)

[personal profile] devoutish 2017-05-29 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you're not on your own, mate.
devoutish: (put your money where your mouth is)

[personal profile] devoutish 2017-05-29 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm?

[Alfie's all the way in another building; he's not sure if he counts.]
devoutish: (that's just murder math)

[personal profile] devoutish 2017-05-29 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Royce. I don't feel guilt over very much, mate, but this--
devoutish: (Lord‚ beer me strength)

[personal profile] devoutish 2017-05-29 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
And I fucked it up, right, and I do not fuck these things up. I won't accept more blame than I'm do, but I won't accept less, either.
devoutish: (put your money where your mouth is)

SCREAMS that should have been "more blame than I'm due" fucking homophones

How long do you think you have?
