I am not Eye

[animusmods]

Characters: Anyone (Animus and Destiny Strings)
Setting: All the levels, with the cafeteria, stairs and the dorms as the safe zones. You can find more about the event here. Remember the stages of insanity for the Animus characters!
Format: Any, start your open posts.
Summary: The tower appears to be overcome with a strange mist.
Warnings: general horror warnings for now

A strange, primordial scream. Perhaps something that didn't seem too out of place for this tower, yet there was something...off about it.

Then came a small series of rumblings. Something was stirring up in the tower. Thankfully the dorms seemed seemed fine. It was when you started to walk down that you realized something was wrong. There was dark mist everywhere. It wasn't natural. Even with a light, it was hard to see past the staircases into the levels, causing even more confusion. Thankfully, the stairs seemed to be safe and if you walked down the entire hundred levels, you'd notice that the cafeteria was safe too.

But that seemed to be it. Everywhere else, the mist was thick and seemed to hang on to the clothing and hair.

Then another noise rings out in every corridor, a laughter musical but somehow diabolical, not quite male nor female, asking a single question;

"Are you enjoying yourself?"

It looked like someone was wanting to play a little game with you.

"UGH WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUCK!!!!"

[misogynistic]

IT'S KAZUYA'S FAULT FOR OFFERING ADACHI POISON.

At least Adachi had the decency to fall off his chair when Kazuya yelled at him and back away. "Don't..." HELP HE CAN'T GET THE TASTE OUT OF HIS MOUTH. "...pthuh!" He was wiping his mouth and everything... "...don't you know better than to offer a guy poison?"

[belfire]

"Don't you know better than to spit a drink into someone's face?! What if you blinded me you asshole?!"

Kazuya was frantically wiping at his face with his sleeve, making disgusting 'ew' noises. That was just - erk! Gross! Spit and saliva! Okay so it probably wasn't any grosser than getting blood and guts on you but - this was just a million times more disgusting somehow!

[misogynistic]

"I didn't pttuh mean to..." Fuck you, kid, Adachi can't even feel his mouth anymore! "...Though..." Of course it occurred to him. His hand still covering his mouth, Adachi muttered, "...But you're supposed to be a demon king and all, right?"

Whoops, the next part slipped out too quickly: "Shouldn't you be immune to that stuff? You know, your 'awesome blood'?" It was a legitimate question. "Because from how you put it..."

[belfire]

"My awesome blood doesn't extend to my friggin' eyeballs!"

Kazuya was outright yelling now, although weirdly, he didn't seem all that angry. Mildly annoyed, but it seemed like he was merely shouting just to shout, or pretend to be angrier than he actually was. Weird...?

He finished wiping at his face, wrinkling his nose in disgust, and then abruptly started talking normally like the earlier shouting match hadn't occurred. "That was so gross. I thought adults could handle drinks like that?"

And because he sensed Adachi's doubts... Kazuya reached over, grabbed the bottle, and downed the entire thing in one swig. It. Tasted. GROSS. And it burned. And he immediately had the urge to throw it back up. But instead he slammed the drink down on the counter, the glass cracking a bit, and glared directly at Adachi.

See. That's how you do it! Kazuya would say, if he didn't think opening his mouth would make him projectile vomit all over the bar.

[misogynistic]

yes, dreamwidth, change the icon to a flirty one. just. goddamn.

"Well, technically..." No, he won't go into that.

Way to go reinforcing the title 'brat king.' Right, he really couldn't decide if Kazuya was more annoying than he was entertaining. That was something spoiled kids did... Throwing fake fits and all that. Of course he could figure that out. Any teenager was a brat, plain and simple.

Kazuya... You little brat. "...Are you okay?" Was this how Kazuya wanted to prove he was immortal? Really, was this the way to do it? "Because...that's not how alcohol usually tastes, just so you know. It's not supposed to feel like your mouth is gonna explode... I'm really, really sure that was poison now."

And he can't do a damn thing about that but stand up and just watch the kid. Hey, he doesn't care whether he lives or dies.

[belfire]

"............"

Kazuya was valiantly keeping a straight face, breathing shakily through his nose as he pressed his lips into a thin, firm line. This was a mistake, he realised. He could feel the liquid burning his stomach - what the fuck was that? Bleach? It felt like bleach, really painful and... burning, and, no, keep it down. He could survive downing bleach.

...maybe. Actually he didn't know. The whole immortality thing was just a guess.

"I-I'mnnhuuuurk!!!"

Yup. There it went. Without warning, Kazuya doubled over, grabbing the edge of the bar, and threw up the mysterious liquid all over the floor - which was heavily tinged with red. Yup. It was poison. Horrible acidy poison oooooow oh hey was that a piece of organ?

damn it lost the link to this thread

[misogynistic]

Yeah, Adachi wasn't going to be picking up any of that...or looking for too long.

"...Oh, crap..." Adachi covered his nose as he made a hissing sound. "Uhh..." What did you do when someone was poisoned again?

Nope, Adachi really wasn't going to be looking for too long. The smell alone made him sick, and he was backing off, taking in Kazuya instead. Was this how it was going to go down? Did he actually poison a demon? A supposed demon king?

"I..." Should go? "I...was right, wasn't I?"

Is this really how Kazuya wanted to end it? With a twitchy detective moving away from him? With said twitchy detective maybe, just maybe about to ollie on out? Kazuya would die alone in the floor's arms... Oh wait they didn't have arms.

"Are you really sure you're immortal?" Lalalala, he was still backing away.

[belfire]

Kazuya felt hell of a lot better once he regurgitated that crap he drank. His stomach and throat still burned, but he could breathe, and he was no longer forcing it back up. He left a horrible mess though - all red and lumpy, eeew...

"N-Nah, I'm fine," Kazuya wheezed, hauling himself up and wiping at his bloodied mouth. "That - I think that was bleach, fuck. Eh- hey, where're you going?"

2/38573498T093IR934750349 I'll say when

[misogynistic]

Maybe, just maybe, Adachi had been hoping on something bad would happen? NOT THAT HE WOULD EVER SAY IT, THOUGH...

fuck

[misogynistic]

"No..." Adachi paused for a moment. He was at the entrance to the room. "where...?"

[misogynistic]

And, yet...

[misogynistic]

WHEN WHEN WHEN

[misogynistic]

HOLY SHIT, WAS THAT A ZOMBIE.

FLEE, FLEEEEEEE. Adachi was back inside the mock bar in an instant. Mother. Fucker.

APPARENTLY ZOMBIES SMELLED HIS BULLSHIT. Did somebody call in the zombie calvary? Because Adachi just lured in... Wait, hold on a second...

Hello zombie nurse?

[belfire]

Kazuya just stared at Adachi, watching as he peeked out - then ran back inside in an instant, looking more than a little pale. Uh, okay. What was going on?

"Uhh, you forget something, or..." Kazuya began, his voice a bit raspy, before he trailed off at the sight of the zombie nurse lurching inside. Oh, well that was kind of off-putting.

"...like your new girlfriend," he said flatly, not looking worried in the slightest. Zombies? Pfffft, Kazuya could knock them flat on their ass easy.

[misogynistic]

Girlfriend. Adachi's expression actually fell at that. He had backed up all the way to where Kazuya was. Oh, thankfully these zombies acted like the old horror movie ones and not the weird new ones.

"Girlfriend?" Excuse you. He doubted she'd even be attractive when she was alive! "I..." Adachi's back bumped against the bar. He cast a glance over at the brat before sighing. "...figures you'd be calm at all this stuff."

Meanwhile, Adachi was thinking back... "I-If you like her, you can have her?" Ew, he almost backed up into Kazuya's vomit. Ew, ew, ew. "Actually, she looks too...wild for me to handle? Ha... She's all yours!"

[belfire]

"You're too kind," Kazuya said dryly, giving Adachi an unimpressed look before heaving a sigh. Man, he just felt ill... he'd rather not deal with zombies if he had to, but, oh well. He swallowed down the foul taste in his mouth, and stepped past Adachi and his puddle of bloodied vomit.

The Zombie Nurse was shuffling quite slowly, and Kazuya mimed checking his watch as she stumbled and groaned lowly. "Any time today would be nice- oh forget it."

He snapped his fingers - and instantly the zombie was engulfed in a ball of flame. Mmmmm, smell of cooking, rotting fleeeesh.
