I'm pretty sure I don't wanna think about it that long. What it was - what it was was bad. But what it is is over now. Gotta hold onto that - make a point of holdin' onto it. Or else it'll just sweep us all away.

[The handwriting is sloppy and wanders over the page but... what do you want from a blind guy? He should be doing voice or video. But he decides to go with writing because somehow, it makes this admission of weakness and need feel less pathetic, less real.]

Billy are you busy right now?

[And then, more shakily, what he does not want to admit.]

i am afraid

i

might hurt

myself

[That...that's what he wants.

And then he recalls, yes. He's not at home any more.

He's not entirely certain where he is, other than out in the woods now and sitting against a tree.]


I don't know where I am.

[Loki is out in the middle of the woods, sitting back against a tree. There's an impressive track of damage indicating the direction from which he's come, trees shredded to splinters or smoldering. His bare feet are covered with dirt and oozing blood from a myriad of cuts and punctures. His loose shirt is also looking a bit shredded, his forearms covered with angry red scratches, and a few on his face.

He's looked better. Beyond all that, the sheer misery, he also looks exhausted and sick.

And he's laughing, his hands limp in his lap.]
complicatedliar: (laugh because it hurts)

[Action, June 24] he deals with his problems in only the healthiest ways

[personal profile] complicatedliar 2014-07-11 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He knows it's Billy; he knows the magic.

Hah. That's the problem. You ask someone to come get you, and they want to know what put you in this state to begin with.]


Oh. Just destroying everything I touch.

[He hiccups and then starts laughing again.]

I don't love Rogue enough to not cheat on her. So she left.
complicatedliar: (consume thyself)

[Action, June 24] sorry, your bro is a piece of shit apparently

[It's not normal laughter. It's the I've trained myself to laugh instead of cry laughter, unsteady and unhealthy.]

Well, that's what you call it when you get drunk and kiss someone like a whore isn't it? [He shakes his head, laughing, then uses his right hand to give the underside of his left forearm a sharp pinch. Focus. He pauses, breathing for a moment, laughter subsiding. He's not alone any more. Billy would be an unlikely choice for a figment of his imagination. Hopefully. When he continues on, his tone is much, much uglier, but calmer.] No, that's too kind. The proper word is catamite, and that's beside the point.

The same first step as last time. [He frowns a little, because he really should've done this before he decided to come over and tease Billy. But with a slight eyeroll to himself, Teddy gets up, dusts off his butt and heads back to the tent, expecting Billy to follow, and pulls their backpacks over near the entrance.]

You remember which books helped you the most? [He opens up one bag and tips it over, letting a few books slide out.] These aren't my mom's, so I wasn't required to read them or anything, but...

[It's a bit like looking at an old photograph of a lost loved one. It's not the same book - the corner is straight and neat rather than slightly bent from when he dropped it on the floor as a kid, but it's still the book he remembers.

There's a small pause in his movements as he stares at the cover for a moment as a result, and then he seems to snap himself out of it by bringing his eyes back up to Billy's face. Right, he's in the present right now.]


Then we'll get started by reading that again. And if that's not enough, then we'll get another one that you know helped you out. I've got candles too, but since we're outside in the daylight, we... probably don't need those, huh?
halfnhalf: ([teddy] was that a rhetorical question)

[Action, May 6th]

[personal profile] halfnhalf 2014-07-11 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't surprise me.

[The first time Billy read this book with him, Teddy had kept a respectable distance, what with them being not-quite-boyfriends-but-certainly-attracted-to-each-other. Now that they're engaged, however, Teddy slides around until he's at Billy's side with one arm around his waist to pull him against his side.]

Maybe this Atkinson guy's actually a super hero no one knows about. Maybe... Spirituality Guy?

[Well. At least Billy's not the only one who notices the ring every time it's even partially in view. Teddy feels a smile come up when the golden band peeks over, and for the nth time, he thinks about how perfect it looks on his fiancé.

God. He's absolutely, completely, utterly hopeless, and he's pretty sure he wouldn't have it any other way.

He's also pretty sure that Billy's going to get tired of holding up that book with one hand after a while, so with his own free hand, Teddy holds the other side of the book, letting Billy be in charge of flipping the pages.]


I think we just discovered the book's true origin. Spirituality Guy wrote it to motivate himself, and it just caught on with everyone else.

[Rogue rubs the back of her neck with a gloved hand.

Awkward. She's terrible at this.]


You... findin' a way to get it out?

[Why? How can he explain something that is entirely irrational? Though it made sense at the time. It always does. But the very fact someone is here, and talking to him, already makes it easier to think. He lets his head fall back against the tree.]

It was too quiet. And dark. Dark and too quiet.

[His voice becomes tinier and tinier as he realizes how stupid that sounds. But it was being lost again, and he felt them watching, and he needed to know that it wasn't real. Or that it was.]

Doesn't matter, does it.
