bad decisions, iv edition // for [personal profile] numbers96

[ IV doesn't know a huge amount about what his crest can do. It's not as though Tron has really told him much - he knows it stops the Numbers controlling his mind, but beyond that? He wasn't told anything.

He's worked out though, on his own, that he can manifest the Numbers outside of the AR, using the crest. It's not perfect, true - Giant Killer is as small as one of his dolls, Heaven's Strings won't leave its sealed form - but they'll appear nonetheless. He's never gotten to experiment with Machu Mach or Dyson Sphere, though, much as he'd wanted to, and none of the other Numbers he's collected have ever been that interesting.

So, truth be told, he doesn't exactly have high hopes for this latest card, 96.

But he'll manifest it anyway, if only the one time, to see.

Which is why he's currently stood over Black Mist's card, crest blazing on his hand as he works on drawing it out into reality. ]

[It can tell, how close he is, but it wants him to wait. So it numbs him just slightly as it reaches with a tendril for the phone.

(this is exciting)

(two pets in one day, and brothers, too)

(a matching set)

It drops the device into his hands, drifts down to lie beside him in midair as it waits for him to place the call, pricking up its ears so it can catch every word, every breath, from both sides.]

[After a few rings, the phone picks up.]

...IV, why are you calling me from inside the house?
butfortheirvirtue: (faintly irritated and/or perplexed)

[...That doesn't sound quite right.

He can tell that IV's...not feeling well, or something like it. He said he was indisposed.

And that plea was honest in a way that IV nearly never is.

(he's worried, secretly)]

I'm coming down. Don't move.

[The phone hangs up.]

[As soon as the connection ends, it croons to IV again, touches his face and squirms around him.]

Be ready for him, pet.

[It smiles, croons again, and it's about to speak and say no--

But then its ears prick, and all at once it dissolves back into the pool, to wait.]

[The door opens and V stares. He doesn't know what he's expecting, but it definitely wasn't this.

"This" being black slime pooling all over the room, oil staining his shoes as it flows out from behind the door, and

(and IV on the ground coated in the stuff, looking)

(definitely not sick)

(definitely not hurt)

(shirtless and flushed and--)

He swallows.]

What. What happened here?
butfortheirvirtue: (wow i am not impressed)

[personal profile] butfortheirvirtue 2013-01-01 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[V doesn't come closer.

(what is it doing to him? what's it doing to IV?)

He stumbles back, away from the slime, and the crest on his forehead lights.

(he searches the room for the source of the stuff but it all floods in at once, it's everywhere, its mind comes from everywhere)

(but maybe he's just...just distracted, by)

(by the way IV sounds, by that moan, by...)]

IV. Where is it?

[His voice is tight in his throat.

(don’t tell him, says the voice in IV's mind, bring him in)]

[On the one hand, he knows he shouldn't. Knows that any Numbers powerful enough to manifest this strongly, powerful enough to change IV's crest should not be trifled with.

(but he has to save IV)

(and)

(and IV's rocking his hips up and groaning and he)

(he wants to see more, even if he won't admit it to himself)

(and he...he called him Chris)

He steps forward, into the room, grimaces as his boots stick in the slime as he walks towards IV.

(behind him, a tendril pushes the door shut, silently)

He reaches his hand down to IV, expecting him to take it, so Chris can pull him up.]
butfortheirvirtue: (this isn't right)

[personal profile] butfortheirvirtue 2013-01-01 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[He thinks that he is probably dreaming.

That's the most logical explanation, isn't it? For something so surreal and nightmarish and strange, that pool of blackness that had caught IV, to become...to become this. IV, kissing him, pulling at his clothes, clothes that seem to be melting away.

(because of the oil on IV's body, the oil that rises and glimmers at the top of the pool)

And because this is probably a dream, for a moment, he kisses back.

It's only when IV speaks that he begins to remember himself, that he pulls away (flushed and gasping more than he should be from a kiss like that).]

IV, we need to. We need to leave.

[His voice is a little strangled. Not just from fear, though.]

[He wonders what IV is talking to.

Then he realizes, and he only has time to open his mouth to speak before tendrils lash around his arms and legs and he's pulled into the air in front of IV, choking on whatever words he planned to say.]
numbers96: (ooouh~)

[personal profile] numbers96 2013-01-02 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[It pulls itself from the slime behind IV, rests its hands on his shoulders, cheek close to his.]

Ah, Christopher Arkwright, you should listen to him. It's such a long time since you've been happy, isn't it?

Such a long time since you felt good?

[More tendrils rise from the pool below him, to writhe over his skin, strip away what little of his clothing is left and leave him gasping.

It croons into IV's ear, pleased, fawning, strokes his other cheek with one hand.

(and when he pleases Black Mist it will be so kind to him, it will give him such beautiful things)]

What should he have first, pet? What will we give him?

[He's thankful, so thankful for the crest, because he can feel the way those words buzz at the edge of his mind, the way the harmonies try to break through him,

listen

good

He manages to push them out but then he's too distracted to attack, because it's touching IV that way (like an animal, like a doll) and calling him its pet and asking him what to give V.

(what does that mean)

(he knows what it means)

But he can't imagine IV will actually give it an answer until it actually comes out, and for a second his eyes go wide.

(why is he cooperating with it? he)

(this isn't right and)]

IV--

[personal profile] numbers96 2013-01-02 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[The tendril slides into Chris' mouth and cuts off his speech, leaves a moment for a panicked noise before it starts to drip.

It can feel it, that V is afraid. It can feel that he is afraid but it can also feel that he is hungry, that he needs, it's written in the heat of his skin and the quickening of his pulse beneath the surface.

Yes, it is very pleased with IV. It is pleased with its new pet, with the fear, with the way he struggles in its grip (but deep down doesn't mean it). It squirms a little around IV's body in excitement, keeps on stroking his face and crooning.]

Hush, Christopher Arkwright. Your brother only wants the best for you.

Isn't it so, pet?
numbers96: (hurt for me?)

[IV being so eager to please, to help V understand, that's good. IV wanting to share, that's better. It has never had a pet quite like this.

(he thinks so simply in his core, too, he's so easy to take from, it's like taking a scalpel to his heart)

When IV asks, the pool rises beneath him, pushes him into the air and waits as tendrils loop under his arms and around his body, to cradle him.

The slime melts back into the pool, but it leaves tendrils behind -- two wrapping around IV's legs, supporting him, spreading them open, one curling around his cock, one still pumping slowly, slowly into his ass.]

Perhaps we'll make a wager, Christopher Arkwright. If you are so eager to leave.

[It pulls the tendril from his mouth, for now, so he can speak, looping it lazily around his neck.]
butfortheirvirtue: (500% done)

[personal profile] butfortheirvirtue 2013-01-03 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He sees IV, hanging there, swollen up in a way that can't be natural, can't be right, with...with that thing writhing around his cock, and...

(his whole body burns, it's sore and tender and it aches for touch, for)

(for thomas' hands, for his mouth)

Deep breaths, in through the nose, don't swallow the stuff in your mouth (except the tendril has fattened between his lips so nothing can get out and so he has to swallow, swallow down this sick oily thing that's already softening his mind with arousal).

When it pulls the tendril out of his mouth, it's clear he's struggling to keep some kind of composure.]

N...nnh. Name your terms.

[He's flushed, though, sweating a little already.]
