002 - Happy Halloween~

[Anyone who knows Dist will know he's a workaholic. What with having little to no true friends, as well as being a social outcast, he's dedicated himself to his research. During his stay in this new world, he's found a suitable place to live as well as do his experiments. And today is no different. He's been working well into the night, a bright opal moon glowing its white-gold light through a large, arched window. It gives his laboratory an eerie feel - shadows looking like the stuff of nightmares.

The researcher removes a vial from a tray, the murky red liquid sloshing thickly. Reaching for a syringe, he fills it with the solution and approaches his examination table, pushing up his rounded glasses. The moonlight shines off them, giving his already manic appearance a bit extra. Mad scientist? No, no, no... We much prefer evil genius.

Upon the examination table is a monster, probably unconscious from some sort of drug. Dist examines the small canine-like beast, checking its vital signs.]

Mm... Everything seems stable. Now, to add the drug. This should increase its overall physical abilities as well as slow the metabolism dramatically. [He smirks, eyes lighting up wickedly.] If this proves successful...

[But since when does anything ever go according to plan? Fate is an enemy of the God-General. As he reaches to inject the sleeping hound, the drug keeping it asleep wears off. Frantic, the beast howl and kicks its legs, knocking Dist's hand and the syringe away. Cursing, he reaches to grab the monster, but feels a hot, burning pain in his leg. Wincing, he looks down, and sees the needle pumping his unholy concoction right into his thigh. He removes it instantly, knocking it away as a burning, searing fire blazes its way through his body. He roars with pain and desperately looks for an antidote, knocking over vials, beakers, and papers. The sound of shattering glass and splattering fluids fills the night's grim air as the tiny monster whines, yelps and curls into a corner.]

Ggh... hrrg...!! Wh-What's... happening?! This--Aahhh!! I-It's not... I need--!!

[He collapses into a dark corner of his laboratory, and silence reigns. The only sound that can be heard is the whimpering of the little monster, scratching frantically at the wall behind it. It knew something was there with it. Coming closer... Its yelps and squeals become howls and screams as a heavy breathing flows into the mix.

The howls stop.

...

. . .

Thud.]

Hahahaa....

[Ooc: HAPPY HALLOWEEN, PEOPLES! 83 Have a vampire!Dist. He's going to be prowling around the city, looking for some noms. Anyone wanna have some fun with this guy, dohoho~?

Things to Note:
- Dist DOES know something is wrong with him, that he's dangerous to people, and will give fair warning to some people before attacking them, but his control will be in little bursts here and there.
- Dist's abilities are HIGHLY increased. This means speed, strength, endurance, defense, and magic will all be a LOT stronger than normal.
- Dist needs blood, obviously. And nothing is safe. If you want him to bite you please include the tag BAIT as the comment title. If you merely want him to target your character but not bite them, please include the TARGET title.
- THREADJACKING IS ALLOWED, AND EVEN ENCOURAGED! Have people come to the rescue!
- Dist cannot die. But he CAN BE HURT. Fire and Light artes do a very heavy toll on him. Magic in general is pretty effective, but he's completely immune to Dark, and will laugh at you if you use it on him. :|b
- He's going to turn back on Sunday night. He'll have gained some kind of control to return to his lab and inject the antidote into himself on that day.

If this isn't okay with the mods, I'll take it down. Have fun, guys! &hearts]

[Right on cue, Anise walks in, holding a couple of packages in her arms. She's changed from that witch's costume she was wearing earlier ~~sorry guys, show's done for the night~~, and into more practical outfit consisting of tights and a dark pink version of her Guardian uniform, minus the white vestment.]

-- Sorry that took a while. Is he all right, Colonel...?

[Dist really could suck it up and take his punishment like a woman.]

[And he could easily kill you right now, Dist~]

[Jade will be finishing up and cleaning up the supplies just as Anise returns.] I was expecting you back after I had extracted the liver. Oh well... Another day, perhaps.

Minus his usual idiocy? He's fine. [He's RIGHT THERE, Jade... He'll be taking those clothes to go change.] Thank you, Anise. Keep him company while I'm gone~

[Dist sighs a little and looks up at his friend with a look at equates to "your mom" when Jade makes that crack at experimenting on him. He opens his eyes and peers after Jade when he leaves, trying to lift his head off the cold and uncomfortable examination table, but regrets it after a wonderful headache jabs at his temples. He groans and lays it back down.]

Nnng...

[He grimaces a little. Ugh, he hated not being able to move. This sucked. He couldn't even get away from there and wallow in his self loathing after he apologized profusely to Anise like he intended. Damn. He knew he'd be back on his feet in a few days - he was indestructible, remember? - but not soon enough, he thought. Once Jade is gone, he chances a glance to the woman.]

Anise...

[Oh so she and the Colonel are taking shifts now. She shrugs and lets him go, smoothing down the wrinkles in her own clothes. But that little cry of pain from the fontechnician gets her attention, so she turns to him immediately - ]

Lorelei, Dist, you look horrible-! [No thanks to her, but she conveniently forgets that.]

Ah - can I get you anything? The Colonel didn't really do any lasting damage to you while I was gone, did he?

I'm sorry...

[He knew she wouldn't hear it, but he still...had to try. The words came out so strained. Get him anything? Not unless a heavy, blunt object to knock himself over the head with counted. And Jade would all too readily provide something like that so...no. Not at the moment.][He tries to get up again, but fails. Damn it! He hated this. Breathing hard from that tiny bit of what seemed like hours of hard labor, Dist instead motions for her to come near. he wouldn't be able to look at you, but... Just so long as you hear it. Hear his apology.

When she approaches, he clenches his teeth together. Dist can almost feel those round, chocolate brown eyes watching him.]

F-For... Forgive me. I-I'm s-so... so sorry. For everything.

[He doesn't even need to tell her to come closer; the moment he tries -and fails- to get up, she's at his side, one hand on his arm, gently keeping him on the table - ]

Don't try to get up, you idiot. You're really hurt, that arte was way stronger than even I expected, so...

[But wait - he was saying something? He's - he's apologizing. Oh.]

...

It wasn't your fault, though. I mean, I could tell. You weren't yourself, something was making you - do what you did, and... and I'm not hurt.

In fact, I should be the one apologizing! [Sigh.] I didn't have control of that arte, and now you're hurt pretty terribly because of it. Sorry.

Don't apologize. [He looks away when she comes near, averting his gaze. Now that he apologized, he was free to feel guilty, right? Lorelei... He was such a coward. The warmth on his arm makes him shudder. If he hadn't been stopped--that warmth...!]

Y-You and I are e-enemies, remember? Yo-You should have just k-k-killed me. It would have done you good in the l-long run, anyway... I-I wouldn't... Get in--I... I'm so tired.

[It wasn't exactly an excuse. He was extremely exhausted. Bloodloss, guilt, aches and pains, and just everything that had happened put a heavy toll on the old fontechnician. He really did look it, too. His face was white and blotchy and there were dark rings under his eyes. He was a right mess of a man.]

[Anise frowns as he speaks, and the moment he talks about just killing him off, her brows furrow together and she actually slaps him. Not too hard, she knows you're still hurt and barely together - but it's got enough force in it to at least wake him up.]

For a genius, you're not very smart, are you? Why do you think we let you live? We're enemies, but - who you were earlier - that wasn't you at all. And there's no way we could've left you alone in that state!

[We were friends, once, Dist. Or have you forgotten?]

[Her hand, curiously, hasn't left its spot on his cheek, following that slap. She pets him a little there, giving him a look halfway between sympathy and annoyance before she lets it drop to her side with a sigh.]

... Get some rest. You look horrible.

[He winces and makes a pained sound from the slap. It did hurt, but not enough as you could have made it, Anise. Even so, he knew he rightly deserved the slap. But it does make him turn his head to stare at her, a bit wounded. His eyes drop, though, after a moment.

No. He wasn't smart. He was actually rather ignorant on certain things. Genius...hahahahaha!! Like he actually believed anything of that now.]

How do you know who I really am?

[No one except Jade knows the monster he's become. And he hopes you never see that side of him. That beast... was it really just the serum? Or was it truly an amplified version of his other half - the insane, twisted, delusional and obsessed maniac that cared for nothing but self fulfillment as a broken promise.

You may have to jog my memory, but...I won't ever forget.

He actually registers the petting and has to shiver a little. It's such a strange feeling. Welcome, but at the same time he wants to wrench himself away. Never again. He won't even hurt you again.]

[And Jade chooses that opportune moment to walk back in.]

[And he'll be raising an eyebrow at their positioning, but not saying anything. His new clothing (http://binkerville.com/yard/2008/yin_hw_finsm.jpg) was quite flattering on him, as much as he hated anything resembling His Majesty's wardrobe. The cape would also move with him every time he lifted his arms.] Are we done here, or is the idiot still thinking about suicide? [Pointed look from Jade at you, Dist.]

[Indeed, Jade knew the monster that lay within Dist's heart. He, too, would forever have his own. But his beast had been caged, beaten into submission over the years. His beast--the heartless, sadistic, arrogant monster in his own soul--was as good as dead. It had been for years. But... because it still breathed and slept within him, because it had once been partners with Dist... He understood more than anyone else what Dist was going through.]

[Consider it tough love. Jade was always so hard on Dist because of Dist's unwillingness to let go. He never let go of anything, always obsessive... It's what pissed off Jade the most about Saphir. Jade had worked so hard to let go of the past, and Saphir clung to it like he needed it to breathe.]

[You need to learn to breathe and live for yourself, Saphir. Jade has never abandoned you--you did this to yourself. Just like how he eventually accepted Luke, he could do the same for you.]

[Of course, you'd still be the cockroach. That would never change.]

[What impeccable timing you have, Colonel. She takes a step away from the examining table, away from that odd position she'd just gotten herself in. She barely registers the shiver that Dist made at her touch.]

He was, but I think he's done for the night. Aren't you, Dist~?

[She gives him a look. She heard his last question, but it's a good thing the Colonel came when he did. She isn't sure if she knew the answer to that one. She wishes she knew. Will you let her know you, Dist? She was only just beginning to really know the Colonel - but surely if she could manage to learn him, she could learn you as well? If you would only let her.]

[And if the Colonel would let you let yourself get that close to her, anyway.]

[Dist glances up lazily at the man and that leer doesn't do very much but make him sigh and close his eyes. The questioning glance from the Fon Master is sensed, but not seen. He nods slowly, though. Ow, still stings a little.]

No, I won't kill myself. [Another long sigh.] You have my word.

[It will be a long and painful journey, Anise. You may not like what you come to learn about the old fontechnician. The Jekyll and Hyde his life was written after. The scars left behind, still bleeding and festering even after all these years. This may have helped him see himself a little more clearly, though. Even if it's just a little. As for letting you...maybe. Right now, he was probably going to avoid you for a while. Until he's ready to forgive himself. And move on. Heaven knows when that would be, though. As for Jade... what he doesn't know won't hurt me him.]

[Always.]

Oh, good. I'd rather not have to deal with the body. [Rather cold way to put it, Jade. He's still a bit mad at you for thinking of that in the first place. He may not be an open book, but he's still quite a readable one if you know how to read between the lines.]

[My, keeping secrets from me, already? Well, I'll have you know that I don't particularly care who you have as a friend, Anise. Except Dist. /sarcasm]

[/reads like an open book]

--That's enough, Colonel. He's okay, and that's what's important, right? Anyway, he just needs some rest, now. [Glancing around. Should they get him to his room or something?]

[Secrets? What secrets. It's not a secret if she just happened to have forgotten mentioning it. She would've eventually, though.]

How considerate of you, Jade.

[Dist sighed and pushed himself up into a half sitting half laying position. Tenacious as a cockroach indeed. He still winced and held his throbbing head, though. Ugh, dizzy spell...]

Thank you, both. I-I think I'm all right. For now...at least.

My apologies. [He doesn't look very sorry.]

I'm only glad to have been of help, Saphir. [And he doesn't tell Dist to lay back down. If he wanted to deal with dizzy spells and pain, that was his business.] Can you walk, or do we have to carry you to a bed?

[Anise, on the other hand, will be gently pushing Dist back on his back without even looking at him. She turns to the Colonel, and takes a certain plush doll from where it's hanging at her side.]

I still have Tokunaga with me, you know. I haven't had to use him in a while, but I can lift him to his room on my own, no problem.

That won't be necessary. I'm fine.

[Honestly, he just wanted to get into his bed and sleep for the next week. And never look at himself or anyone else in that time. But by the way he wobbles and has to grip to the examination table once he tries to stand, it doesn't seem like he's all that fine. But at least he acknowledges it. Seems he's beginning to mellow out. A little. We'll see how long it lasts, though.]

Ah... Perhaps a little assistance up the stairs. At least halfway.

[Sigh. Dist always had to make things difficult, the stubborn roach.] Anise, if you would? My back can't be bothered to carry his weight.

No problem. [And she enlarges Tokunaga, but instead of riding on its back, she just has a hand on one of its arms. What, you thought she'd be clinging to its back at her age? Only when absolutely necessary.]

Stay still, Dist. Tokunaga and I won't jar you around, but it'll help if you don't move around too much. You're still hurt!

[She directs the puppet to carefully lift the fontechnician in its great plush arms before they turn to the door as one. Anise gives the Colonel a look of concern before they head out. For his ears only - ]

You can stay here, Colonel... You must be exhausted from this whole thing. I'll make it up to you when we get home, okay? [Worried look, go.]

[The man makes a sort of odd noise at being picked up in the arms of that massive stuffy. This was...definitely awkward. But Tokunaga was nice and comfortable, at least. Much better than the stiff, cold examination table he was laying on before. Dist doesn't reply and just bows his head, covering his face with one hand.

Just get this done and over with. He'll go off to bed, even let you take him, but just...he wanted to be alone. You're reminded him too much about what he did, Anise, and he doesn't deserve the kindness you're now showing him. He never did. For all the things he's done to you and your younger selves, the pain and torment, the battles, the harsh words, everything... You're still kind to him. He doesn't deserve your compassion, Anise. And he certainly doesn't deserve you.]

[Oh, and who bandaged your wounds? Thank you for the credit.]

I'm fine, Anise. But are you all right? [He'll give you a questioning look over his glasses.]

[And he'll just let Dist be embarrassed by Tokunaga and wait downstairs~]

I'll be okay. [--She's exhausted.] This won't take too long. [--She can't wait to go home.]

[In any case, the trip to Dist's room isn't long at all. Once they step inside, Anise has Tokunaga set him down carefully on his bed, where she makes sure he can lay comfortably.]

... Get some rest, okay? We can check on you in the morning, or something.

[Thanks ~~for ruining my chances of a kiss, jerkbag~~ for your help, Jade.]

Don't.

[The reply comes out fast, sharp, and icy. He doesn't want to see you or anyone else for a long time. He sighs and lays on his soft bed easily, moving so he wouldn't look at the face of the Fon Master. He sighs and closes his eyes.]

I'll be fine now. Don't...

[Play nice you two :|]

[Anise arches an eyebrow at his sharp tone, not that he can see. So she sighs, shrinking Tokunaga down to doll-size, and just shakes her head.]

Fine, whatever. Just - feel better soon, all right? And take better care of yourself. [So we don't get a repeat of tonight, she almost says, but catches herself.]

... Rest up, Dist. I'll see you around, okay? [And with that she exits his room, shutting the door behind her with a soft click before she treks back downstairs to the waiting Colonel]
