This is bullshit.

["This" being the black, silky ears he's sprouted in the wake of the flood. His long tail, equally black and twitching with irritation, pokes out from under his blanket, where he's curled up and sulking. The camera's at a skewed angle, balanced on the edge of his pillow.]

I just woke up like this. I didn't even do it. If it's gonna happen, I want to at least be the one to do it. I want . . .

[He trails off, his eyes distant and dull. When they snap back into focus, he sits up slowly, blankets falling around him, and narrows his eyes.]

It's supposed to hurt.

[And then he begins to change: skin rippling, body changing, limbs twisting. He grows a third arm, and then a fourth, the new ones vestigial, skinless, ugly. Growths emerge across his face, limning his high cheekbones. He curls up in the fetal position; you can hear bones crack, shift, curl, and break. All the while he's crying out in a dog's whine, an ugly helpless yet somehow angry noise. The blankets tangle around his shifting feet as they grow bark and tentacles and recede into stubs.]

[Eventually, endlessly, he is still. The ears and tail have gone completely.]

..I dunno. Maybe not now, but eventually, right?

[Chris gives a bit of a laugh, shifting to get more comfortable]

Jesus christ you're heavy. Cut back on the Ho-Hos, man, would you?

I dunno. I like living in New York, maybe just not my New York. Maybe Spider-man's New York.

We're allowed to live wherever the fuck we want, I think. We just tell Boss Man where to drop us off when we're ready to go.
mistconduct: ([unmasked] optimistic)

Yeah, if she's not busy. She could swing by and pick us up.

[Chris gladly makes room for Cassel with a worn-out sort of sigh]

Yeah. That's what I'm worried about. But man, we're not meant to stay here forever, y'know.
mistconduct: (casual shrugging)

[personal profile] mistconduct 2015-05-08 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, no, not right now. I mean, eventually. One day.
mistconduct: ([unmasked] lol what)

[He grins a little, squeezing Cassel's hand]

I mean, you've got a say here, too. Any weird fantasy islands you wanted to venture to?
mistconduct: ([unmasked] yeah fighting!)

[personal profile] mistconduct 2015-05-11 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
That's fair. No one wants to live in Gotham, it's a shit pit.
mistconduct: ([unmasked] shrugging)

[personal profile] mistconduct 2015-05-12 11:12 am (UTC)(link)
See, I don't mind that, except the trouble in Gotham means we're both pretty much dead.

....You mean even if it's not permanent.
mistconduct: (casual shrugging)

[personal profile] mistconduct 2015-05-15 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I'd rather die and come back than die, period.
mistconduct: ([unmasked] lol what)

[personal profile] mistconduct 2015-05-16 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh shit, I'm glad you finally recognize your shitty talents for what they really are.
