(no subject)

[Here is Nathan, armed with dual battle axes. The table, though he stared at it long and adamantly, did not give him the machine gun he so wanted deep in his soul. He took the next best thing.

But it isn't just Nathan standing here like a moron. This is Nathan, all of 6'8" tall, armed, and in the middle of combat.

These past few days haven't been good on his temper at all, and he's finally been enabled a way to vent his frustrations, and oh is it fucking awesome.



Strewn around him are already a dozen bodies in various states of death. Some are simply beheaded, some look like they've been chopped repeatedly, some even look like he tossed the axes aside for a single, brief moment, to crack some skulls in.

He roars like a monster and swings his axe, slamming it deep into one of the zombies still standing. His clothes are damp, his face is sprayed with various types of gore, and his eyes? Are no longer their bright and vivid green. They're pure red, and the glow they cast on his face almost give him the appearance of some sort of bestial demon.

Nathan tears through them like nothing until only two are left; he throws an axe square at one with all the strength he can muster, then charges behind it, leaping over the zombie thing moments before he would have slammed into it. On his descent, he grabs his other axe with both hands and brings the blade down into the head of the last one standing (the other having, reasonably, been dispatched by the axe had thrown moments before).


Aw, but now he has nothing to kill. So now he stands there like a moron, his eyes still aflame.]


Brutal.

[Braxiatel pauses, startled most of all by the change in the eyes. Humans showing surprising strength and beating the hell out of zombies is reasonable. Glowing eyes . . .]

Odd question, I realize, but is this a hallucination? Only I can't imagine why I would hallucinate this.

[Braxiatel isn't sure he should find that comforting.] I'll trust your faith in your ontological status. Do your eyes glow red often, or is that only when you're dismembering the undead?

Your eyes. They were glowing. You gave a rather good impression of some demons I've met, in fact.

Well, no, actually, you wouldn't. You would if you were an AI of some sort or a cyborg, but if you were a hallucination, it would be my mind that was creating you. You wouldn't exist to think yourself the real you.

[Then again, Braxiatel hasn't done extensive studies with hallucinations. And he isn't completely convinced Nathan isn't one.]

[Braxiatel draws into himself a little, adjusting his jacket, but it isn't what Nathan is saying. It's the cold he is suddenly feeling, that sharp feeling of ice - and the sound of melting water.]

[Ah. It's this memory.]

[Braxiatel pretends it isn't there.]


I assure you, Nathan, you are real. [He isn't entirely convinced, but really, no one wants a hysterical hallucination on their hands.] How can I prove it to you?

[Rather than brushing Nathan's hands away, Braxiatel takes this moment to put a hand to his head.] That won't be necessary. You are not anyone's hallucination. Your hands are on my shoulders. And I can do the same to you.

[Braxiatel places a hand on Nathan's shoulder. This is, of course, a very awkward gesture from Braxiatel, but this is because Brax just doesn't usually put hands on people's shoulders to try to prove that they are in fact real people.]

You see?

[Axel steps delicately over the remains of someone's head.]

[cheerfully] That was pretty metal.

[Braxiatel draws his hand own away.] I'll keep that in mind. Would you consider removing yourself from this gore? I'm worried for my shoes.

[Another zombie comes lumbering up behind Axel. Without even turning around, or losing his smile, he snaps his fingers and incinerates it with such precision that there is nothing left to swing at him when the bones hit the floor.]

Have you heard anything about someone who might've, oh, I dunno, answered a question wrong and got us all stuck here?

[identity profile] smolderingdark.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh well.

[Axel's eyebrow goes up.]

I don't think that's them. We are kind of in another dimension.

My life was exciting enough before this happened. Now it turns out I get to kill monsters on my vacation, too. I mean, I can do it, but I've got a busy schedule. And I want to enjoy popcorn without having some rude zombie stick his hand in it. It just ruins the flavor, y'know?

You gotta buy chips. And I gotta save the princess. It's like, maybe I want to act out the messed-up fairytale that's my life for once. But noooo, this place has got it out for me. For us, really.

[He smiles at that last part.]

You should stay inside the kitchen then, or the library. Don't go between the two without someone who can frag things or uses a sword as big as they are.

[This just amuses the hell out of him. Here's this big manry guy and he's complaining about nail polish.]

If I screwed up and I had someone with giant battleaxes threatening my life, I'd hide too.

Just sayin'.
