☠ 004 | all sufferings, all pleasures, all good and evil

Characters: Avenger and OPEN to all.
Setting: Dormitory levels, elsewhere and then the first floor, the seventy-fifth floor, and the twenty-fifth floor.
Format: Action spam to start with.
Summary: A typical open log for this month.
Warnings: All the Evils' in The World is present in this post which is a warning by itself, along with grossness/gore and blood in the first prompt? Also the expected fare for the Tower of Animus.

[ SCENARIO A || FLOOR 75: OUTSIDE ]
[ Seated on the grass warmed by the clear weather on this floor outside the twenty-story tower, the Servant is busily pulling the slowily-cooling intestines out of a dead monster, its stomach slit wide open. Its throat is a ravaged mess. A few other organs laid spattered bloodily on the ground next to Avenger; two hearts (who knew some of them had extra hearts?), what looks to be the liver, maybe a section of the stomach? It could be an alien-looking kidney. It's hard to identify them correctly. His arms are bright red up to the elbows.

What he couldn't dig out with his hands and strength, he used his short swords to cut them up further and make the task easier to complete.

One or two lumps of maimed tendons and meat that might have once resembled the regular monsters themselves, are left nearby as well, given a similarly careless treatment.

Boredom is a strange thing, when paired with constant murderous urges that Angra is attempting to redirect away from fellow residents. At least he decided to do this in a corner of this floor far away from the stairs? Not that he's making any attempt to conceal this from prying eyes. He just likes the quiet between hunting down the Tower-generated creatures.
 ]

[ SCENARIO B || FLOOR 25: THE MEADOW ]

[ His eyes are closed and he's flopped over onto his side onto the soft grass with one side of his face pressed against the ground, under the cool, dark shade of one of the trees in the meadow. His thin shoulders rise and fall in sync with his even, slow breathing. Taking a nap in the evening was pointless; it wasn't like he required sleep or even food or housing. But he felt the desire to pretend at it, and since he had no reason other than his instinctive paranoia to not to leave himself open in any manner, he went along with it. Angra had never quite regained the knack to true semblance of slumber after his first life, only managing a light doze or total dreamless unconsciousness at the best.

His sleep was restless and shallow. At least he doesn't snore.

So when somebody's feet unexpectedly impacts with the embodiment of all evils' ribs and there's a sudden, unwanted weight tripping over him, it roused him easily. Wheezing at the knee that comes down into his stomach, he rolls over, hurriedly trying to push them off of his body and sputters in confusion.
]

—!!? Wha, wh—

[ Disoriented and groggy, Avenger still snaps to wakefulness speedily in a few moments with an irritated snarl of fury as he realizes what happened. ]

—Watching where you're fuckin' going... [ He spat out, a tick mark show showing on his forehead; ] is way too much trouble, huh! Idiot!

[ VERY RUDE. ]


[ SCENARIO C || DORMITORY LEVELS: POST-SPARRING ]

[ There was a line of old scrapes and redness along his knuckles where Saber whacked him if he'd gotten careless for even an instance while fighting her, a newer bruise on one cheekbone and what felt like a swollen knot blooming on the top of his head from a blow to the skull. Generally, he looked like he'd gone biking on a deserted road, collided head-on with a small truck and come out the worse off.

Of course, that was usually the normal result of his sparring matches with Arturia: 'Shirou' getting beaten up repeatedly and mercilessly for one or two hours, stop for the day, do it again later, rinse, wash, repeat. He'd improved, yes, to the point where he could block her attacks occasionally and even deflect them, but he couldn't avoid getting knocked out. In today's session, he tried going on the offensive for a short time before changing his mind and deciding the price paid in the strength of her blows was too much, and playing it defensively in a battle against the Servant would probably work best.

His body burned with pain. 'Shirou' , ignoring his body's complaints of fresh soreness, wipes the lingering sweat off his forehead with his arm, calming his breathing down. The discomfort he was currently in would fade soon enough. As if to spite him until then, a knife of minor pain stabbed abruptly him in the side.
]

... Ow—ouch, owch...

[ He winced and dropped his arm back down to his side. ]


[ SCENARIO D || ANYWHERE IN THE TOWER: YOUR PICK ]

[ Generally, Angra wanders through an assortment of floors at night and shows little concern for which ones he ends up on as long as they are neither overly threatening or extreme.

He's not a picky sort of guy.

It's possible to find him sitting on tombstones in the cemetery staring at the fabrication of the skies on one floor, not mourning the dead just looking at the view, slinking through the sandy caverns on another floor, or walking over the farmland on one of the lower floors.

'Shirou' is much more easy to run into during the day, tinkering with dented toasters in the workshop, hanging out in the media room, or obsessively patrolling the hallways and floors of the Towers as normal, bruises or no bruises. Business as usual here!

So. Are we done here or are you about to try to eviscerate me?

[oddly cavalier attitude to take about the possibility, waver...]

i'm sorry

Humans... Seriously, you're all a gigantic pain in the ass.

[ And for once in the conversation, it's not said like he's being mocking. It has a more matter-of-fact tone to it.

Then he dematerializes, and before there's time for the magus to collect himself, Avenger hops aboard the bad decision dinosaur train on a whim and slams into him as he re-materializes, slamming him off his feet and flat onto the grass. Okay, he can't beat a fellow Servant in single combat but a human? That's doable.

There's a tattooed hand reaching out to tightly grab his throat, and another hand holding a warped-look short sword right against his shoulder.
]

Waver Velvet, that's a very good suggestion! [ He grins wickedly down at him. ] I'm considering trying it.

he kinda had it coming lbr

[Waver could say he expected this, but that really wouldn't help at all, now would it? He didn't really expect to survive this, but like hell he was going to just accept it.]

[One hand wrapped around Avenger's wrist in an attempt to pry it off his throat, the other immediately opening the vial in his pocket. With what little breath he could manage, Waver choked out a few quick words in Latin; the silver Mystic Code immediately formed and twisted in response, swinging and lashing out in an attempt to at least knock Avenger off of him.]

[Goddamnit that hurt. Not to mention he'd have to fix the shirt Avenger just ruined, too.]

[...No one ever said Waver had great priorities. But then again, his self-preservation instinct wasn't too bad in dire situations like this. While he didn't trust his concentration enough to strike precisely at Avenger's wrist or hand with Volumen Hydragyrum, Waver had to do something before the hand on his throat or the blood he was now rapidly losing caused him to pass out.]

[There was no question in Waver's mind that he couldn't stand against a Servant in combat; his encounter with Berserker some time prior had reinforced the fact. But if he was fast enough, he could at least hope to knock Avenger off of him and use his Mystic Code to cover an escape.]

[Luckily, his weapons weren't just limited to mercury. Waver had spent years learning to beat magi at his game rather than their own; and when hand to hand combat failed, conventional weaponry would compensate. He'd carried a knife since he was a teenager for a long list of reasons, and it was that knife he'd taken from the same pocket as his Mystic Code and attempted to stab into Avenger's arm.]

[It was desperation, really. The frantic clawing of one driven straight into a corner; there was nothing remotely planned or strategized about this, which wasn't like him at all. Really, despite how reckless he'd be in antagonizing Avenger to start with, Waver flat-out didn't want to die.]

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2013-07-07 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, if this was going to turn into an exchange of kicks and punches then fine. Waver took Avenger's hits well enough; it had him reeling for a second or two before coming right back with a strike to Avenger's arm meant to get his hand off of the magus' neck before he caused any more damage.]

Scalp--! [Volumen Hydragyrum responded as well, twisting into long tendrils and lashing out at the Servant with sharp edges rather than blunt force.]

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2013-07-07 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Waver scowled, trying to put even just a little distance between them; not easy when he could barely stand after that hit to his legs and the pain in his shoulder was near blinding.]

Automatoportum defensio. [Now he'd at least have the mercury as a shield when Avenger struck out again. But enough was enough; he had to plan and put into action some method of escape before this got worse.]

[Anything to get away from that look, that stare that encompassed all the terrible sensation he'd felt watching Fuyuki burn and more still. Waver Velvet was no longer someone who could be frightened easily, but that look on Avenger's face terrified him even as he met it with cold defiance. There was no shame in fear. Fear existed to warn one of danger they couldn't handle; it was allowing it to overwhelm him that would be a mistake.]

[Currently, his sentiments could be summarized as I am afraid of you. But I am still going to destroy you.]


Scalp. [The mercury lashed out again as Waver himself started to back off, hand pressed to his bleeding shoulder.]
