bloody valentine

[grandhighblood]

characters: grand highblood + anyone
setting: anywhere around the tower where monsters are present
format: doesn't matter
summary: the ghb ate chocolate w/o realizing it was chocolate. it's becoming night time, and he's out on the prowl as per usual......
warnings: all the warnings!!


The highblood rarely ate suspicious candies. Hell, he never even had much of a taste for normal candies, and it certainly wasn't going to start today. It just so happened that the candy got mixed in with the usual foods that he was already familiar with (that oatmeal was surprisingly addicting after having it a couple of times). He regarded the chunk of chocolate that he had already bitten into with curiosity, but nothing more, and tossed it behind his back to return to his normal meal.

Later the night, he'd experience something...odd. He caught the sight of limping creature, but only its long scaly tail and hind legs as it slipped back into the shadows. He followed it into a clearing somewhere on the dorm floor, and it stopped to rest, where he also stopped and watched it from afar.

===

You'll end up catching him just sitting a little ways off, staring longingly at the pitiful creature curling up around itself. It's a hideous four-legged lizard thing with spikes trailing down its back and all the way to the tip of its tail.

[The Handmaid had thrown her candies away as soon as she'd found them. She didn't trust anything the Tower gave them, and even the usual cafeteria fare was treated with scrutiny. But she'd been eating breakfast and apparently, her breakfast had one of those strange chocolates ground into it.

Ever since, she'd been restless, pacing the Tower and eyeing each passerby almost hungrily. She knows something's wrong, but she can't pinpoint what, and she feels a strange sort of apathy towards whatever is going on.

So she wanders to the forest, weaving through the trees until she spots a familiar, hulking figure. When she pauses to watch him, she feels an odd shiver run down her spine that encourages her to approach.]

What are you doing?

[Feferi shows up silent as a shadow. For a short while she watches the larger troll until she's sure that he might notice her- and then she steps forward, a little.

She's never met an adult troll, but she doesn't seem afraid.]

Hello...

[uprisings]

[So. Walk by. See the Highblood. Stop. Watch him... watching the monster. Proceed to get incredibly confused!!!]

[He can't see the guy's face from where he is or else he'd be even more confused, but still... what is he doing? Is he gonna eat it or something? But then why would he just be staring at it...... WOW ALRIGHTY THEN let him just wander over there and... grab one of the Highblood's horns, yanking on it a little]

What are you, waiting for.

DARK CHOCOLATE IT IS I GUESS???

[Condesce doesn't make a habit of taking food from strangers, though here, she has no real choice. So of course, like the Highblood himself, it seems she's been inundated with chocolate of the dark variety.

She hasn't quite realized it until she spots the indigo across the room, staring at one of the monsters. Instantly, she feels rage ignite in her chest.]

Highblood.

Signless saw the monster first. He paused, then saw that it was injured, and began to continue on before he saw the Grand Highblood sitting there. He paused and then joined him.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a whisper.
