actual hobbit trash chrono ([personal profile] overclocking) wrote in [community profile] exsiliumlogs2013-11-10 10:15 am

( open )

Date & Time: Several days after the necromorph outbreak
Location: A VR room
Characters: Chrono + Rosette + open!
Summary: Lil bit of coping in-between zombie apocalypses and civil wars, nbd
Warnings: None! KEVIN AND BREAK
Notes: Feel free to tag around also! ♥


[ Chrono doesn't bother to close the door when he finally decides to try one of these rooms for himself. Something about the last few days (weeks) (months) has left him unwilling to stay in enclosed spaces too long, with no obvious path of exist. Too much like a lab or an undead-lined hallway.

But these concerns slowly melt away as he sets about instructing the AI, and the room gives way to a place that isn't a room at all.

Mountains rise up in the distance, framing a blue, clear sky, and a faint breeze rustles the treetops of a thick Michigan forest. Birdcalls ride that wind, and the air smells cleaner, fresher, than any moon base could reasonably boast. Where the blanket of trees ends, a large, glassy lake gleams in the sunlight. He takes care with this part—instructs the AI to make the water a temperature a bit too low to be entirely comfortable for swimming, knowing full well that this won't actually be a deterrent. But it wouldn't be right, otherwise.

He takes his time strolling from one familiar landmark to the next, having the computer make adjustments as necessary. He doesn't miss details, either; for all the times that Rosette brought him to this very place, his eyes had missed nothing. They were wide and all-absorbing, like someone who had been born anew and was discovering the world for the first time.

(Likely because, in all honesty, he had been.)

He stops once he circles back around to the open door—a black silhouette hanging oddly in the landscape, and the only giveaway that none of this is real. It's here that he surveys the scene as a whole, the sum of all its little memory-parts. ]


Perfect.

[ Well. There's still a thing or two missing. ]

... Almost.
velveteened: (} what fun!)

( oz has no comment whatsoever on any of this.

or he'd like to, but if he could talk to isla yura without running away... )


— it's good to see you're enjoying yourselves!

( kevin's response, in connection with that loud spinal crack, almost has him wondering if kevin isn't really taking the opportunity to wreak some horrible revenge on break for...doing any of a number of terribly break-like things he's done. oz would honestly prefer walking in on something like that! it would be significantly easier to deal with! or at least he'd prefer to be able to believe that's what's happening here, but alas.

pleasantries or no, he's already taking a step backwards. )
maddeninghatter: (revenge)

1/3

[ Ordinarily his response to pain of that magnitude would be to just Deal With It. But his defenses are down and that insufferable brat is making remarks and — ]

GAH!

[ The pain disappears abruptly, leaving in its wake a rush of sensation....

Okay, no. That's it. He's done. He's going to get up and flip Oz upside down and onto his ass, and then upend the pastry basket over Kevin's head and throw him in the lake and — ]
maddeninghatter: (hmmm)

[ oh ]
maddeninghatter: (my body just feels like shame)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-11-21 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He had started to get up, but on second thought he's just going to stay where he is, prone on the blanket. After that unexpected rush of pain and pleasure, his back isn't, er, the only thing that came to life. ]

[Well, that sorts things out. Completely unaware of Break's interesting and totally normal reaction, the virginal angel keeps kneading his back with a look of intense concentration on his face. Now that the worst tension spots have been taken care of, he moves to Break's nervous system, bringing new pleasure and deep relaxation.

A professional secret he hopes will never be revealed: his preternatural knowledge of the human body comes mainly from torturing sinners; a task he used to perform with equal dedication.

Mister Break was being terribly stubborn. But everything is all right now.
velveteened: (} ahahaha)

Well, that's good to hear. ( except it's NOT REASSURING AT ALL ) But I told Chrono I'd be right back, so I should be going.

( YOU KIDS HAVE FUN ;)

but in any case he turns on his heel

and

flees tbh. )
maddeninghatter: admit that you're right? (fury ♘ what am I supposed to do)

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-11-22 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well that was a completely articulate conversation he just had with Oz. The only salve to his humiliated soul is that he's quite certain Oz won't say a word about this to anyone.

— and Kevin THAT IS NOT HELPING! With difficulty, he finally his manages to gasp: ]


S-stop, Stop!
senseandcecilbility: (perfect)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-22 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, since Break begged asked so nicely, Kevin will sigh as an understanding parent and sit back, chewing a scone thoughtfully.]

Now, now...

[Kevin has never been the sort of angel to peek on humans being intimate. That would be completely inappropriate! So now he is innocently wondering why Mister Break is making such a funny face.]

[personal profile] maddeninghatter 2013-11-23 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Urgh, he is just going to think of something unpleasant. Something.... someone like Rufus Barma. His smug smile and his ridiculous heels and his stupid hair and his...

Right. That's better. He sits up and snaps, testily: ]

What was that all about, honestly!
senseandcecilbility: (Hair)

[personal profile] senseandcecilbility 2013-11-23 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[As if speaking to a child.]

Honestly? It was about a certain Mister Break concealing his problems and making me worry sick.

[He lowers his voice for Break's benefit.]

It is impossible to be this tense without being in excruciating pain.

[He would know. He has been dealing with a missing wing for three thousand years.]
maddeninghatter: (grump grump grump)

There's —

[ nothing you can do about that, he was going to say.


But.



Even as he holds his tongue, it occurs to him that he feels more alive than he has in ages (even that).

.... ]


Got any more of those scones?
senseandcecilbility: (Content)

[Mister Break is in trouble, he knows that much. Probably more trouble than the two of them can handle together. It seems to be his fate to be drawn to humans like that. But...it also feels nice to be able to stop fretting and do something for an insufferable man he truly cares about. For once.

Even if in the end he cannot do much.
]

What a silly question. There will always be scones.

[He opens the picnic basket and offers him more sunlight deliciousness.]
