@ofviolentdeath liked for a Lucas Starter!

"Nope. Uh uh. It's too fuckin' bright and too fuckin' early."

[we3devils]

"Again with the age thing? You need some new fuckin' material, kid." He grins, putting plenty of emphasis on the last word. Two could play this game. "An' don't put words in my mouth, I said you were temptin', not that you couldn't back it up."

“From the other side of the country? Besides, I had to be loud. You could be suffering from hearing loss in your old age,” he shot back, a teasing smirk on his own lips. “Tempting implies I lack follow through.”

@mistxkesmade liked for a Lucas Starter!

"What do you mean, you don't like being scared? It's the best way to get the adrenaline pumpin'!"

[we3devils]

"That sounds shitty, dude. I'm sorry." Gage frowned a bit. "But you know your feelings do matter, right? I mean, fuck, it's your life after all. You can't live it for everyone else all the time."

That was rich advice, considering he himself couldn't follow it. Whether it was his parents or his two best friends, Gage had begun to feel like his life wasn't his own.

"Yeah, that's true." he agreed with a soft huff, running a hand through his dark locks before turning his gaze toward Nik. "You look like you're not having the best time either. Family?"

It wasn’t rare for Talyse to end up in an unfamiliar dream, but it had been quite some time since it had happened. The music and smells were enticing enough for her to wander through, taking in the scene of the carnival, trying to determine if she was in a dream, a memory, or some mix of the two. Luc was always better at determining which category a dreamscape fell into, but she didn’t mind. 

It wasn’t long before she noticed him, the only thing that felt more tangible in the place and she made her way across the main strip and lightly tapped him on the shoulder.

“I’m sorry to interrupt, but is this your dream?”

Lucas was in heaven.  Or at least, as close to heaven as one could get in a dream.  He was dreaming, right?  The carnival lights cast a multicolored glow along the fairgrounds, the air heavy with the scent of fried food and cotton candy.  And of course, the delight shrieks of all the carnival denizens still on the rides.

Feeling someone tap his shoulder, Lucas turned, confused by her statement.  Adjusting his jacket, he turned to face the woman fully and studied her face for a moment.

“Uh...yeah, I think it is.  But most people I meet don’t know they’re part o’ my dream.”  This had to be some Inception type thing.  How else could you explain a person he had dreamt up talking to him as if she was aware?

Nyx was at least a name that Lucas was familiar with. It was still a lot to process that he was talking to a living descendant of a Greek goddess though. It really shouldn't have, considering he himself was a mystery of some freakish kind, and his two best friends were supernatural beings. "Don't worry, I don't plan on stabbin' ya. I only do that when I'm working the haunts and those blades are fake."

"Oh fuck off with that Chris Hansen shit!" Lucas laughed and dragged Cy closer to him, his laughter fading into a playful smile. "Keep it up, kid, and I'll be forced to put you over my knee."

“I have no idea what that is but it sounds dangerous.”  Lucas’ knowledge base of creatures that weren’t entirely human was mainly based around the basics.  Not that he was dumb, it just wasn’t his area of expertise.  However, he would have had to been blind and dumb to not notice how his handiwork on Cy’s skin had started healing damn near before his eyes.  “Honestly I was expecting you to say you were a werewolf or some shit.”

At Cy’s threat, a wicked grin spread across Lucas’ face, hazel eyes flashing.  “That a dare, or a double dare?  ‘Cause I think I can handle anything you wanna throw at me, bright eyes.  And uh, who says getting caught with your pants down is a bad thing?”

“Greek. Spirits of violent death, daughters of Nyx,” he explained, figuring that would help clarify even a little. Grandma Nyx was fairly known at least, even if he had actually yet to meet the woman. “Nah, I know some werewolves though. We have some hybrids in the family and they range from emotionally stable to lesbian that likes to be stabbed and, honestly, I like being cut up but I’d rather not be stabbed.” Cypress definitely toed the line there, but he did still have his limits.

“No, that was a Chris Hansen warning because we both know I look a lot younger than twenty.” Still, he moved closer to Lucas, grinning playfully at him. “Depends on if getting caught will ruin the fun. Which it might if you’re being hauled back to the nursing home.” 

[we3devils]

"Carved ya up like a chicken? That's an insult to my knife skills. Guess he wasn't too happy about the other stuff I did to his baby brother either, huh?"

@we3devils​

“So get this, I got a lecture from my older brother about “letting guys you barely know carve you up like a chicken dinner” so that was fun.”

[we3devils]

"I dunno...you were pretty loud. He might have just heard ya." He teased. "And don't tempt me. That was too much damn fun last time."

“Oh he doesn’t know about the rest of it. I don’t even know how he found about any of it in the first place since the marks had been gone before he even got back into town. But uh, you’re welcome to leave some new ones.”

“Yeah, my mom’s one of the keres,” he admitted with a shrug. Lucas had already seen how quickly he was healing so there really wasn’t any point in pretending to be human. Humans did not heal like that without some sort of assist and he hadn’t even thought to bring anything to speed it up more. Truthfully, he hadn’t expected meeting Lucas at all. 

“No, but I was definitely worried about a nursing home orderly showing up and seeing me without pants on,” he shot back, feigning modesty for a moment before grinning. “Although, if you keep calling me kid, I think your nursing home is gonna be the least of your worries.”

“I have no idea what that is but it sounds dangerous.”  Lucas’ knowledge base of creatures that weren’t entirely human was mainly based around the basics.  Not that he was dumb, it just wasn’t his area of expertise.  However, he would have had to been blind and dumb to not notice how his handiwork on Cy’s skin had started healing damn near before his eyes.  “Honestly I was expecting you to say you were a werewolf or some shit.”

“She’s the personification of gossip and rumor.” He realized, then, that he hadn’t exactly told Lucas what he was or who his family was. At least not directly. He supposed that mentioning Pheme was a bit of a tip off, but not everyone knew that much about the daimons.

He couldn’t help but smirk, trying to play it off as cool but coming off a little more bratty than anything.

“Are you sure you’re even up to the task? I’m surprised you didn’t break a hip last night.”

“Wait a minute.  The personification of rumors is your cousin?”  Lucas couldn’t stop the confused and just a tiny bit shocked look from coming over his face, unsure if Cy was just fucking with him.  It wouldn’t surprise him honestly.

At the other’s teasing, he rolled his neck eyes cutting toward Cypress with playful disdain. “ ‘M up to any task you wanna throw at me.  And you damn sure weren’t worried about my hips last night.”

“I don’t know if I’d say that yet but there will also be bacon.”

“Well, I mean.  Y’know that I like it dark and have a caffeine problem already.  Bacon too?  Fuck, where do I sign up?”

[we3devils]

ofviolentdeath​:

“To be fair, it’s really just two that are super nosey. Lia’ll probably find out anyway since she’s all buddy buddy with our cousin Pheme.” He forgot that there was a solid chance that Lucas wouldn’t recongize his cousin’s name, but there was always a chance he would. A lot of people got into Greek stories. “I can just keep a shirt on around home for a few days until it’s completely faded. Unless you’re planning on redo it?”

“Pheme...”  Lucas cocked his head, face scrunching up in thought.  The name held some familiarity, but he couldn’t place it.  It sounded Greek, but he wasn’t as well versed in that shit as Alex was.  “Sounds kinda familiar...”

At Cy’s suggestion of a redo, the grin returned to Lucas’ face, eyes flashing darkly for a moment before returning to their trademark hazel.  

“Almost sounds like you want a redo, kid.”

[we3devils]

ofviolentdeath​:

“Yeah, you seemed to like that too but I do need to figure out how in the hell I’m going to hide your name on my stomach. I have very nosey siblings.” That weren’t afraid to go after Lucas with knives of their own. It was definitely something Cypress wanted to avoid.

“Yeah, I’d really rather not have to explain our fun to your pissed off relatives.”  Lucas chuckled, a faint pink color coming to the edges of his ears.  “C’mon, I made the mess I’ll clean it up.  I got some horror makeup left from Halloween.  That shit will cover anything.”

[we3devils]

ofviolentdeath​:

“To be fair, I found that out day one. Well, day two technically. We were a little busy day one,” he pointed out, a faint smirk tugging on his lips. “Pretty sure you signed up last night.”

“Y’ found out plenty on day one, just not that.”  Lucas grinned shamelessly.  “And yeah, I guess I did sign up for that.  Think ya can handle another day with me?”

sydney smirked, “i don’t mind it, i love me a good haunted house during halloween season, but if you try to scare me any other time, you will probably be getting a pretty nice right hook.” she laughed looking over at the other. “not that i get scared, just being a woman comes with the territory you get too close, eh it might not turn out well for you.”

“I get it.”  Lucas answered with a slight nod.  “But you look like a woman that can handle herself, so you got nothin’ to worry about.”

[we3devils]

mistxkesmade​:

“I’d prefer to get my adrenaline pumping in other ways, being scared isn’t something i actively try to be.” sydney smirked looking at the other. “I mean I guess i’d prefer to be the scarer versus the one being scared.”

“Oh yeah?”  Lucas’ eyebrows shot up and he grinned broadly, spinning the zippo lighter between his thumb and middle finger.  “I mean, I prefer to be the one doin’ the scaring.  I don’t scare easy anyway. No payoff for the other person.”
