Shit-

[there's the sound of glass shattering and the clatter and static of a communication device as it hits the ground. His voiced is strained as he speaks]


...As if my day wasn't already in the gutter.

[a long pause, marked by heavy breathing.]

Where did I put that-

[ooc: So, er- Amory has a condition in which he has random attacks like this. He dealt with it privately all these months, but this time its a rather severeattack. And of course, he's accidently turned his communicator on.]

Comments

action

[fatespoken]

It's an expression, and I'm not going to say God. He doesn't exist in my book.

[He takes it begrudgingly from her, pulling it from her grasp with a glare.]

This is the first time I've even seen you use it.

action

[eiremagic]

For good reason, yeh fool.

[She pauses]

Once I went blind for a week. And another time? I couldn' get up for month.

action

[fatespoken]

[He's admittedly intrigued now, despite being curled up in a sort of fetal position. Eden's the first person he's met to share unfortunate side effects due to magic.]

Howcome? Is it just because of your magic?

action

[eiremagic]

Well, there innit any way to touch the universe without the universe takin' a fuckin' hammer to yeh, is there?

[She pauses and sighs. Well, Amory at least knows what it's like]

Because I don' use anyone else as me sacrifice.

action

[fatespoken]

You mean you need a human offering for you powers? What do you do? Sacrifice someone to your Gods?

[He wonders if Eden is going to kick him for that comment. Actually, he wishes he could take it back, but what's said is said.]

It's different in my world. In fact, it's our job is to mess with the universe.

action

[eiremagic]

[She snorts]

No, yeh need a blood offerin'. Me da used me as his, yeh know.

Must suck, that.

action

[fatespoken]

Did you kill him? Seems like he was a bastard that was too weak to stand up to his own demons.

[He closes his eyes, not to fall asleep, but because the light seems awfully fucking bright. Amory won't admit it, but talking to Eden helping him, distracting him from the pain.]

It does suck. But then again, this shit isn't directly caused by my magic. They just coincidentally exacerbate a pre-existing condition

action

[eiremagic]

No. I bound his magic in me, then disappeared to Belfast.

[She watches him, tipping her head a little]

Don' worry, Amory. I won' tell anyone.

action

[fatespoken]

I just wish people would leave me alone. It's none of their business - why must they know.

[Amory looks Eden in the eyes, acknowledging the sincerity of his words.]

Thank you, Eden.

[a bit of an awkward pause]

...Have you tried this? [He lifts the pill bottle to her face] Strong stuff. It helps a lot with the pain.

action

[eiremagic]

[A year and a half ago she would have told him that it was because they wanted to know what made him weak, and how to exploit it, but now the answer is different]

They want to care. They don' know how.

[She grins and shakes her head]

Nah, it's likely to mess with me blood. 'sides, I'm good on the pain.

Re: action

[fatespoken]

[And he knew that was the truth. He knew their pestering was just a product of their concern, yet it wasn't what he wanted. He didn't need someone to lean on and pat his back. Most importantly, their care couldn't do shit. It was a fruitless exercise of emotion.

He wondered if Eden felt the same. They were similar in a few ways.]

They're all idiots then.

[He's about to say something, but another wave of pain causes his breath to hitch.]

You're- You're really fucking strong, I have to give you that.

action

[eiremagic]

Oy. Don' die, yeah?

Fuck, Amory.

[fatespoken]

I'm not going to die, stupid Leprechaun.

[He manages to glance at her again.]

I'm not that weak, alright? I plan to make it to at least thirty.
