Morning came far too quickly, Arthur having fallen asleep with Leo tucked into his side. After their conversation the night prior, he had simply let her lean into him, fall asleep, and shifted to lay down as carefully as he could to avoid waking her. Unfortunately, it took him far longer to fall asleep than it had Leo. This wasn't due to not being tired, but more due to the fact that his mind had still been reeling after the nightmare, after telling her everything.

Needless to say, he was still sound asleep late into the morning. It was nearly noon when he felt a hand shaking his shoulder to rouse him from sleep. Eyelids blinked open slowly, a heavy, tired exhale as he squinted up at Leo. She was still there.

"What time is it?"

SICK DRUG #flesheating

[gelum-lumen]

(( @ the nail salon heres an au idea while i wait:

SO sparda boys usually can subsist on either food and water or flesh and blood or both but as they get older...the bloodlust deepens. they start having a sincere taste for flesh to the point where its just preferable. vergils given up on cooking meals he just buys raw steaks and cooks them rare to get by and god knows how dantes holding up but eventually one of them snaps and goes out to eat people. probably vergil bc lets be real hes the one whos eaten people without a care but hes been holding back for dantes sake and now hes just. over it.

the au ends with them devolving into flesheaters and dealing with the guilt or dealing with what it means about their remaining humanity and its v angsty. nero doesnt want to be around them/is scared itll happen to him too and its a whole thing and its not like they can ASK anyone bc spardas dead and theres only so much knowledge in the world about demons or cambions ))

From the Kavanaugh hearing era: Not only do I share gang-rapist, fratjockasshole- Brett Kavanaugh's - exact birthday (Feb. 12, 1965) but I also shared his penchant for keeping a calendar. Here is July 1982. On July 1, I went to the gym and, rather cryptically, also noted, "Christie McNipple." No fucking idea what THAT means. Also - I saw these bands that month: Nina Hagen, SK Process, X, Comsat Angels, V, Native Tongue, Mission of Burma, The Dead Kennedys and SS Decontrol. Seems I was supposed to see Haircut 100 at the Paradise on the 21st and the Stray Cats at Spit on the 17th and the Flesheaters on the 28th but did not go, for some reason. Movies: Requiem for a Heavyweight, Rocky 3, Cat People (remake) , Conan the Barbarian, the original Cat People, the original The Thing, Alien and Visiting Hours (AT THE DRIVE-IN!!!), Annie, Sex Comedy (?), Bladerunner, Garp & The Wild One. Looks like I meant to see Giant, Farewell My Lovely but did not go? I have seen both films so maybe my notes here are just off. I also had a job & went to the gym a lot that month. The 17th reads, "Beware! 6 months!" - referring, I believe, to my 6 month anniversary with my then boyfriend. My only other boyfriend had only lasted 6 months so I guess I felt that was a landmark to crest. Also note - that is an EXTRAORDINARILY busy schedule for a high school junior - headed toward senior year. Jesus - my stamina! @ Hollywood Hills — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3itzfTO

Happy Birthday to John Doe! Celebrate by watching the 2016Mr. Media interview with the singer/songwriter of X! (Conducted by Bob Andelman) JOHN DOE podcast excerpt: "X — our music — was always accessible. We weren’t trying to piss people off; we just did it naturally. There was no ‘marketing’; the term barely existed. The way you were DIY in those days was you went out, met people, lived your life, did your thing. I have no regrets; that’s the way you get cancer.” VIDEO: https://youtu.be/hqUYq_nXMvM AUDIO: https://mrmedia.com/2016/05/singer-john-doe-x-la-punk-scene/ #JohnDoe #X#ExeneCervenko#JaneWiedlin#LApunk#punkrock#TheGoGos#PleasantGehman#ChrisMorris#TomDeSavia#HenryRollins#BlackFlag#FleshEaters#MikeWatt#TheMinutemen#fIREHOSE#RobertLopez#ElVez#CharlotteCaffey#sexanddrugsandrocknroll#DaveAlvin#TheBlasters

You guys ROCK. I haven't seen that much energy since Antiworld last year Herbstnächte. BM is a band we should really look forward to see in Europe.

[13] A local Munich Punk/Power POP band that were playing @ the new years party I did with Ricky earlier that year. [14] Who ever will do Convergence 9 try to get Ghoultown [15] A little tribute to some of the great bands we had the pleasure to here the last days [16] That one goes to Miss Janette [17] That one goes to Maria my beloved one who was turning heads all weekend long [18] Thanks to Mr. Black and Psyche for giving me a break and to Sexbat for checking back from time to time to see if I need an other [19] Can't read that one, sorry :-( [20] This one is for the best Stage Manager on the planet [21] For Brian, not exactly Twisted Sister but the best I could do for you.

[25] This one was a request of the bartender girl [26] I wanted to end the night with "Beerdrinkers and Hellraisers" by Motörhead but I forgot it at my hotel room so I ended the night with my preferred version of Paint it Black ;-)

[exquisitexagony]

a thing for @miidnighters (Bella) that she didn't ask for

"Go away!" The voice that called out from behind the bedroom door was muffled by congestion. The shout alone was enough for a cough to escape Arthur's lips.

Shuddering, he pulled the blankets up tighter around his body, forehead beaded with sweat. How had this happen? He couldn't remember the last time he had felt this awful. And from what? Standing out in the rain for less than a few minutes? It was pathetic. But he was going to act like a baby about it anyway.

"Let me suffer in peace..."

[exquisitexagony]

continued with @gollldrush from (x)

A huff of laughter, shaking their head at her comment. "Usually is the keyword there, Leo." This time it was going to be much harder to convince them that she was right, though. There were a lot of reasons to say no to this particular wild idea of hers.

Arthur hummed quietly when she continued to argue in favour of the idea of getting a dog, nodding slowly. His brows furrowed, eyes staying focused on the road even as they reached a stoplight. However, he can ignore her no longer when she suddenly stretches out in his lap. He jumps slightly in surprise, looking down at her and immediately laughing. He shakes his head, though.

"You're so dramatic," xe teased. "But the answer's still no. We'd be taking a dog from a much happier home to ride in the back of the truck for the rest of its life." Xe pursed xyr lips slightly, shaking xyr head again. Pausing, xe looked down at Leo in xyr lap and squished her cheeks a little playfully with one hand.

"I love you, but you're not talking me into this this time."

[exquisitexagony]

continued with @gollldrush from (x)

Another long sip from the pint in his hand, nearly finished with it when Leo disagrees so harshly with his comment. He was trying to help her move on. To get her to see that there were much better guys out there for her than himself. Of course, being drunk probably didn't help him in selling the matter. It also didn't help that he found himself a little attracted to that guy as well. He was pretty, gentle-looking...innocent. That purity caught Arthur's attention. Perhaps it was just the hunger picking out the easiest prey or perhaps he truly was Arthur's type. It was hard to say when he was this sloshed.

"All right," he snaps back, lifting his head to look at Leo through squinted, glassy eyes. "Maybe I will." She's already pushing him away at this point, leaving him with nothing but a frown and a near-empty pint of beer. He finishes it off and sets the glass down before beginning to slip through the crowd toward the guy in question.

It wouldn't take long for him to reach the other end of the room, order a couple of drinks and turn on his charm. Soon they were both flirting with each other, Arthur drunkenly laughing along with anything the other had to say. The other was very obviously quite a bit more sober than Arthur, but that didn't matter. In fact, it only made him that much more attractive in their eyes.

"Connor." The name stains Arthur's lips in a slippery whisper, leaning in closer enough that he wouldn't have to shout as much to be heard. "I'm A--" He swallows--a bit of safety bristling the edge of his mind. "Alex." They reach a hand over to rest on Alex's thigh, sliding up slowly, a drunk smile on their lips. Another shot of tequila ordered on the bar.

After a while, their gaze shifts off of Connor, lingering briefly on the man they've suddenly noticed hanging around Leo. The two of them seem...To be getting along. And that worries them. What if he tried to hurt her? Their smile starts to wane as their attention becomes more and more fixed on Leo's interaction with the strange older man. Flashes of what had happened on the side of the road hit him in the skull like a train wreck. He swallows, glancing back at the guy he had so hopefully been flirting with...And soon he's slipping away, following Leo and the stranger out of the crowd from just enough of a distance that they wouldn't notice him...

Until they do.

Until he's no longer hiding in the shadows from a distance. Until the moment he sees the stranger kiss and nip at Leo's neck. Sees the slightly twitch of her fingertips that tells him all he needs to know.

He bolts.

A hand grabs the man's shoulder, ripping him off of her in a silent rage. He may be drunk, but his aim is true. A hard swing right into the guy's face, the sound of his nose cracking against Arthur's knuckles. There was no strength control when he was this drunk.

"Don't you fucking touch her," they hissed, shoving the man to the ground with a snarl. Blood drips off their knuckles--his blood. It smells divine. A sharp kick to his ribcage. Another crack! His voice is something fierce, something deep and angry, booming over the man on the ground who can do little in the way of defending himself at this point.

"YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!"

[exquisitexagony]

//@miidnighters

Arthur was sat in the front seat of his truck in the pitch-black darkness of the night sky, the moon covered by thick clouds, barely illuminating the sidewalk. He had a beer in one hand and a joint in the other, watching the stars pulsate in the night sky in cold silence. The air was biting, but he hadn't bothered to put a jacket on. He was going through his own personal turmoil at the moment. The icing on top of the cake was soon to come, though.

Blurry gaze watched a strange vehicle pull up to the house from his spot on the street, brows furrowing deeply. He squinted, leaning forward to see better in the dark as two figures clambered out of the vehicle. A sip of beer, flicking ash off the end of the neatly rolled spliff. He couldn't quite tell what he was seeing, but he didn't think he liked it. A stranger walking into that house? Wasn't this supposed to be a private place for Bella? Somewhere...important...

Moments later, he found himself stumbling out of the beaten-up truck, trailing behind as the two of them went inside. Their head was pounding, their ears ringing...What time was it? How long had they been out there? They couldn't remember, but the whiskey on their breath spoke words of how much alcohol was in their system--empty bottle of beer left behind in the truck along with several other, much larger, empty bottles.

[exquisitexagony]

continued from (x) with @miidnighters

Sliding into the seat across from the blonde, Samuel tucked himself into the corner of the boxcar, arms crossed as he leaned against the window without a word. To be leaving the life he currently had and starting another was not a new experience to him, but he did wish it hadn't had to happen like this--and so sudden, too.

He was trying very hard not to draw attention to himself, but something was off...Of Course, he hadn't managed to get a space alone--that would've been too convenient. Gaze lifting briefly, his expression stern, he watched the lass' lips move. He would need a new name--again--that is, if she was going to ask.

"Somethin' like that, yeah," he sighed. He knew well that he should probably behave pleasantly so as not to look suspicious, but at the same time....Well, any attention was bad attention in his given situation. Maybe, if he had to, he could get close enough to get rid of her just in case. Swallowing, he shifted, trying to sit up a little straighter and seem a bit less hostile.

"Sorry, uhhh...I've had a really long day, um..." A shake of his head. When his eyes met hers, he felt a twinge of distrust pull at his chest. Brows furrowed. Now he had to get to know her a bit better. What was that smell?

"What's your name?"

[exquisitexagony]

continued with @miidnighters (x) -> gore cw, cannibalism cw, blood cw, dismemberment cw, violence cw, horror cw panic cw, dry-heaving cw

They couldn't stop. They just kept going--bashing and ripping and tearing and eating, their clothes drenched in the rich blood, the walls sprayed with it. It seeped into the cracks in the floor, dipped down Arthur's elbows. So much blood.

It wasn't beautiful, it wasn't neat, and it certainly wasn't his usual way of feeding. It was desperate and painful and deliberate. Like he needed them to be dead--more than dead. Gone. Something in his eyes screamed of anger, dread, fear...And that wretched hunger.

He didn't quite stop when she called his name, bashing the guy's head in until the skull split open, the face disfigured, teeth marks covering his cheeks and arms, legs torn from his torso...Tears were streaming down Arthur's face, though they had mixed with so much blood it was impossible to tell. Their weapon finally clattered to the ground, bending over to rip more flesh from the body's throat--tearing, swallowing, spitting, growling, blood gurgling in the back of his own throat. It wasn't until she called them darling that they finally managed to stop.

Out of breath, broken, and dripping with blood, he froze where he was crouched over the body. A piece of flesh hung from his mouth, caught between his teeth. He spit it out almost immediately, blood splattering the ground in front of him and instantly mixing in with the rest of the mess. Turquoise hues landed on the disembodied form in front of him, the horrific display of the elder man's half-eaten insides making his stomach churn. For a moment, he thought he might just puke up his meal, his gag reflex kicking in immediately, but no...Nothing would come up. Bloodied hands grasped against the vinyl flooring, making a sticky wet squelch as his fingertips curved against the puddles of blood, nails pressing into the floor.

"Fuck...Fuck, fuck, fuck...He--He--It was...I-- I saw--I...thought--"

His thoughts wouldn't fit together. He couldn't speak, couldn't breathe. What had just happened? He had practically blacked out and could only remember what had happened when he first arrived at the old man's house. He remembered the plan--and this hadn't been it.

[exquisitexagony]

// @gollldrush

The smell was what initially attracted his approach. Thick, juicy flesh smell...The smell of copper, iron weighing heavy in the fog-filled air of the evening. A deep breath, smelling the air, following their nose as they trail near-silently down an empty street, closer and closer to an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere. The surroundings are little else but cornfields and broken streetlights.

Footsteps slow as the smell gets stronger, vein throbbing against their neck. They choke slightly on the stench the closer they get to the shattered window. A hand pulls up the fabric of their shirt to cover their mouth and nose, swallowing back a gag. A low growl of a hum, eyes narrowed and brows furrowed as he peers in through the shattered glass. Eyes trail around the dark, dank room in the front of the building. They clear their throat, give a low moan.

A step over the windowsill, boot barely cracking the glass on the ground, staying as quiet as possible as he creeps through the front space. Slowly, his eyes adjust to the darkness, night vision far superior to any human's. He can see clearly; the torn-up walls, broken shelves, bits and bobs left behind covered in dust and cobwebs and debris. It was a nightmaries space probably full of asbestos and hazards, but when you could see nearly as far in the dark as you could in the light, it wasn't as big of an issue.

Xe gives another grunt as xe grows closer to the smell, wincing, the sound of someone...Something catching xyr attention almost instantly. Xe crouches low to the ground now, tucked behind a tipped over refrigerator left to rot. Xe very nearly vomits upon spotting the gutted carcass of a dead animal tucked away inside the hollowed out furniture piece, bugs crawling out of its eyeballs, a mouse nibbling at its ear. Xe pushes out a held breath through xyr nose, barely allowing any audible sound to escape with it.

A long pause, then they're slowly lifting themselves up just enough to peek over the top of the fridge at whatever was going on in the opposite corner of the room. The sound of munching, ripping tearing into flesh...It's one that is all too familiar and the fear of what he might see courses through him followed by anger.

Arthur flinched slightly at the sound of the jail bars slamming shut. His lip curled slightly as he let his gaze travel around the space, then fall on the woman sat on the other side of the cell. Why had they thought it a good idea to put him in here with somebody else? Was this some kind of cruel joke? Or did they really care so little?

“I don’t make friends,” they responded dryly to her comment. Pausing, they realized they probably shouldn't shirk her off too promptly, not if they were both going to be there all night. Then again, maybe she was going to be out sooner than he. It seemed a little fucked up that he was put in a cell with another person, though, so he had to imagine she had done something pretty terrible.
