002 - Happy Halloween~

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[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]

[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.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

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.

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[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.

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

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.]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[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~]

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

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.

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[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...

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

[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]

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[And waiting he is.] My, that took quite a long time. Did you make sure to tuck him in, too?

[He's just smiling at you, Anise. This is highly amusing. Also, he's totally not tired.]

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

[In contrast, she's not even going to bother trying to hide how tired she is.]

Sorry, Colonel. I don't think I have the energy for witty banter right now.

[She glances up at him through her bangs.] ... I really am sorry, though. For getting you into this whole mess.

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[He's a little tired, but he does have the constitution of a soldier.]

Very well. Shall we be on our way?

[His face turns a bit more serious. Anise was obviously bothered about this.] Don't worry about it. No one was at fault.

Though I dread to think of what would have happened to you had I not come along then.

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

[She just nods tiredly, and is already starting for the door.]

[You try being assaulted by a vampire, Colonel. It's not a pleasant experience. But she's still a trained soldier, so she won't say anything.]

... All right.

[... Oh, that reminds her.] Yeah... Thanks for coming when you did, Colonel. [Is that an apologetic smile? Yes, yes it is.]

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[He knows she's tired, especially after that arte she used. She could use the rest.]

If you would prefer me carry you... [It was actually a legitimate offer.]

It was my pleasure. Better that than leave you to the beast.

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a surprised look, waiting a moment for him to make some quip about his old age, and wonders when it doesn't come.] --And risk you throwing out your back? I don't think it'd be a very good idea, Colonel.

... Mmm. Beast... [She represses a shudder and tires to pass it off as a sigh. He was rather scary.]

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[He'll cut Anise a little break tonight.] Oh, how considerate of you.

[He is still a bit worried about her. Oh well, their apartment wasn't too terribly far...]

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

[She just shrugs her shoulders and remains silent until their apartment comes into view. She just wants to get into bed, really. Hopefully she'll be too tired to dwell on the incident any more than she already has.]

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

[He's following behind her, almost as if afraid something else was going to jump out at them on that night. He steps around her to open the doors to the building and the apartment, holding out his hand to gesture her inside, and only relaxing when they were safely tucked away in their home.]

Shall I make you something, or were you going to retire immediately?

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a grateful smile as they enter.] That won't be necessary, Colonel, I think I'll just head to bed. Thank you, though.

[nearlysenile.livejournal.com]

Certainly. Goodnight, then.

[He'll just nod to her and move to his own room, pausing at the door and hesitating before opening it.] If you need anything, I'm only right across the hall. [And he'll step into his room and softly shut the door. Don't mind him for a few minutes, as he's just undressing and getting comfortable to sleep. He was beginning to feel rather tired, also, now that the adrenaline was wearing down.]

[fonmasterpink.livejournal.com]

I don't think I will, but I'll remember that. Good night, Colonel. I'll see you in the morning. [She steps into her own room and heads straight for bed. She's tired, but she doesn't think she'll get any sleep tonight. It's been an eventful night, and there's a lot to think about, after all that's happened. She just needs to be alone for a bit.]
