Maleficent
7/11 10:29PM
Unpleasant was right. For now Maleficent sat at one of the empty tables and popped a couple skittles in her mouth. This was a good night for people watching.
Daloki
7/11 10:30PM
“Hey, Val!” (naturally, forgets – mean, she forgot – to put the speech in quotes and has – had – to go back and fix it)
“Whatcha you been up to?”
Valno
7/11 10:31PM
-she moves over to sit beside Dal- Killing -she shrugs like it is nothing- Boring really… How have you been?
Daloki
7/11 10:32PM
<oh joy! Val still uses action marks!> All right. A little worried, I ought to give you a heads up.
Valno
7/11 10:32PM
-and always will. Her brows furrow slightly- Why what is it?
Daloki
7/11 10:33PM
You ever been to Worlds’ Crossing?
Dorian Grey
7/11 10:33PM
“You have read other’s interpretations and dramatizations of my life and assume these true?” He frowned. “I do not even warrant a chance to prove them correct or not? I do not see much fairness, or social justice in this.” He glanced to victor…lookin…hurt then. Aw Victor…your friends are (justified) bullies. That look said.. Theeeennnn his eyes drifted to endless.
Valno
7/11 10:33PM
-Her brows furrow slightly- Not in a long while…
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:34PM
Victor looked a little panicked over Dorian, and gave Peter a sharp look, edging closer. “Apparently there are interpretations of my life, too. And I was given a chance to… be different. I do wish you were given the same chance, Mr. Grey.”
Daloki
7/11 10:35PM
Yeah – during the Slayer War we all spent time there, I forgot. Well listen – the portal is a quarter mile southeast of here, and it’s getting a bit unstable.
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:35PM
Sure, Valerie had read the books. But it probably shouldn’t matter, right? Right, okay. “Gimme one good reason I should give you a chance, hmm?”
Maleficent
7/11 10:35PM
Maleficent looked over at Victor for a moment. “Who is your new company Victor?” She gestured to Dorian.
Valno
7/11 10:36PM
-Worry flashed over her eyes for a moment- Unstable? Is something coming through?
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:36PM
(Brb)
Peter Augustine
7/11 10:37PM
Peter shrugged. “Ah well, you’re… different than the interpretations of your life. I’ve never read or seen a book about you, never really seen your face on the screen, so perhaps you’re a different kind of Victor. A better one.”
Daloki
7/11 10:37PM
No. <not yet, she thinks> But it’s one of those invisible portals you have to know about to use. You have to get there thinking, “I want to go to Worlds’ Crossing.” But in the last 3 weeks, 2 people have fallen through who didn’t know the portal was there.
Carin Snow
7/11 10:37PM
Carin thanks Jerry as he hands her the sundae. Ah yes, ice cream! She held her spoon, looking down at the chocolate and vanilla ice cream. No strawberry! Just the way she likes it. She began to eat her sundae, taking swigs of her pop as she ate with a smile on her face.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:38PM
Victor glanced over at Maleficent. “Dorian Grey- an aesthete, from I believe a similar time period as I. Dorian Grey, this is Maleficent.” He glanced over at Peter, looking somewhat confused. “You’ve… never seen a book about me, really? I’ve never /read/ the book, but I am aware that it exists…”
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:38PM

7/11 10:38PM
‘Send your kid son and co to pick it up when its in.’ The pretty one said, pushing their obsidian hair right out of their face. It actually wasn’t really in their face at all. The taller, white one shook their head, mildly annoyed. “Hamlet is not a kid, and Matthew is not… ‘and co’.” He sighed, then. “Fine. I’ll send them to get it when it arrives.” And with that, the taller white one narrowed their gaze slightly, before moving to the bar to grab a drink. Probably wine. Knowing him, anyway, it was wine.
Valno
7/11 10:38PM
-her brow furrow as she ponders the information- That is not good… Or normal… What is going on..
Peter Augustine
7/11 10:39PM
“Well, there’s a book, but I don’t recall think it was about you-you. Perhaps a different Victor, but not… you if that makes any sense at all. Just like there are different Hamlet’s and Matt’s and me’s.”
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:40PM
“….” Valerie was totally not dozing off with her head on Victor’s shoulder.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:41PM
Victor stroked Val’s hair a bit as she dozed off on him, tilting his head to look at Peter. “It was about my experiments, but… I believe it was inaccurate reporting from someone who didn’t have the full details.” Right. No one had ever told Victor that the book was supposed to be fictional. He was still laboring under the idea that it was some kind of nonfiction.
Dorian Grey
7/11 10:42PM
Dorian frowned a little. “Because you have never met me and you have no reason to assume my alignment.” He said to val then regarded Peter with “So I am to be judged based on a book of a man with the same name but Victor is spared this fate simply because you have not read his fictitious biography?” He ran his fingers through his light hair to sooth it back. “I find this all to be…unjust.” He breathed.
Daloki
7/11 10:42PM
(oh drat, when you switch from PM to chat room, everything you were almost ready to send is wiped out)
Maleficent
7/11 10:42PM
“Dorian Grey?” She shrugged slightly. “Never heard of him.”
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:42PM
[Yeah, it’s mean like that]
Valno
7/11 10:42PM
(bastrds)
Daloki
7/11 10:43PM
(absolutely cruel, I had 3 or 4 lines typed)
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:43PM
The shifter sleepily grumbled. “Fine.” She replied to Dorian, shrugging one shoulder. She let out a small yawn, then huffed. So tired.
Dorian Grey
7/11 10:43PM
Ah shit… Dorian also regarded Mal with a polite nod. “I apologize…I was a part of a witch hunt I was not preiously aware existed.. But it is a pleasure to meet you.”
Valno
7/11 10:43PM
(O.o -twitch-)
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:44PM
“It’s terribly unjust, Dorian. I am very sorry that you are being… maligned.” Victor looked honest about this, and very apologetic for everyone. “I have… attempted welcoming, I believe. Peter, will you apologize?”
Peter Augustine
7/11 10:44PM
Another shrug. “I never said I was one for justice and equality. I never said I was fair in how I feel about one person or another.” He glances over at Victor, nose wrinkling a bit. “Why apologize when I won’t mean it?”
Daloki
7/11 10:44PM
Okay, a couple of of months ago, I started shifting through the nearest dimensions, one at a time. I couldn’t detect any differences in Hellifyno and its people; what’s really odd is that they don’t appear to notice any differences in me, even though I’m probably quite different from the Daloki they knew.
I don’t know why *that* is happening.
But it appears to be related.
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 10:46PM
Dream made himself comfortable at the bar, because he didn’t want to sit with anyone else. Aaaand the other was staring at their phone, waiting for a response with the eagerness of a… well, of whatever they were.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:46PM
“/Peter/.” Victor squirmed in his seat, looking more and more concerned and worried about this. “I don’t know… why you’re behaving like this, but he’s never done anything wrong that we know of.”
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:47PM
“Sorry, Dorian.” Valerie mumbled her apology, too sleepy to put much effort into it. The half assed apology was as good as it was going to get for now. Again. Too sleepy.
Valno
7/11 10:47PM
-she ponders for a moment allowing the information to seep in as her eyes scanned over Dal slowly- Well shit Dal…
What are we going to do about this…? It can not be a good thing
Dorian Grey
7/11 10:47PM
Dorian sighed and took his drink in hand. “I appreciate your attempts Victor…I do apologize that I make such a visceral hate rise in your friend… I shall find new company to avoid such issues.” He took a drink, looking dejected and a wounded…what an actor… then he turned to look over Desire and Co.
Maleficent
7/11 10:47PM
“A witch hunt. Well if they were doing it correctly they’d be after me not you.” She ordered herself a glass of wine. “Most of the creatures around here are irksome. I would not pay too much attention to them.”
Daloki
7/11 10:47PM
Yeah, I mean – it’s almost as if the dimension I was in before this started is completely *replacing* the next one.
Labyrinth Messeli
7/11 10:48PM
And she was at the bar, keeping things pretty color with her black pun and similar dress. Her legs crossed, eyes dully staring at Jerry for the longest moment. “The black stuff, will ya?” She rolled her head back, various pops coming from her before sitting up pretty straight, and then simply relaxing.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:48PM
“Dorian, no- I would like to be company with you, because when we have met before you’ve… well, you pulled glass from my face after Desire’s wounds, cared for me then, you’ve done nothing to inspire hatred, and I apologize.” And Val was apologizing, and Victor rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.
Valno
7/11 10:48PM
What does that mean for the ones in the dimension that is being ‘replaced’?
Daloki
7/11 10:49PM
<bluntly> They’re dead.
Valno
7/11 10:49PM
-sighs- Well I would like to live… How do we stop it?
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:50PM
At least Valerie sort of apologized. She might do it again later, to make sure he understood that she was actually sorry. Maybe. The shifter wasn’t sure yet. Valerie grunted, huffing as she buried her face into Victor’s shoulder. So tired. “Don’t move.” Came the muffled words. “Comfortable.”
Peter Augustine
7/11 10:51PM
Peter simply grunts, not having much else to say at this point in time.
Maleficent
7/11 10:51PM
“Valerie you always seem to be exhausted. What do you do that is so tiring?”
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:52PM
Victor slid down further in his seat, staring at Peter a little miserably, and then sat back up to where he was when Val told him not to move. “Shh,” he said gently to her, rubbing her shoulder.
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 10:52PM
Dream returned, eventually, to the seat next to Desire again, who was flipping through their phone. They looked, in the moment, like an annoyed teenager, which was a bit like what they were.
Dorian Grey
7/11 10:52PM
Dorian stepped backwards towards Desire as he turned to look at Victor. “Perhaps you and I should plan to accompany one another when your friend is not here. I do hate what issues I cause….you seem close. I wouldn’t want to disrupt that.” He hummed and instead of saying anything else he moved towards Desire….looking of their shoulder. “What…is that?” He asked casually, tapping the phone as he sat across from them.
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:52PM
“I have a very active puppy at home.” Valerie grumbled towards Maleficent.
Daloki
7/11 10:53PM
Oh, *you* live. It’s the Valno in the next dimension who dies. And that may not be what’s happening. I may be the only one shifting. The “replacement” theory is the only one I’ve come up with to explain why I seem the same to everyone, though.
Labyrinth Messeli
7/11 10:53PM
As the tender rose the familiar bottle, her gloved hand snatched out to pull that bottle to her chest, almost in a cuddling fashion. Her nose wiggled, focusing as her free hand gripped the cork and simply wiggling it in mild frusteration. She knew nothing was going to come of the wiggling, but it kept her occupied for the time being. However her eyes did lazily slide over to Victor, and only Victor before looking back to the bottle. Wiggle Wiggle.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:53PM
“Please don’t go-” Victor offered a hand over to Dorian, and dropped it, seeming frustrated. “I hardly want to do things behind his back, Dorian Grey, I…” This just kept happening, and Victor pressed a hand to his forehead. “I don’t think social interaction was a wise idea for me at this point in time.”
Valno
7/11 10:54PM
-she raises a brow- Well how do you think you are different?
Daloki
7/11 10:54PM
<the bartender holds up a corkscrew in front of Labyrinth>
Peter Augustine
7/11 10:54PM
Another grunt and Peter just… sighed and held out his hand to Victor. “I’m sorry for my dickish ways, Mister Grey. I haven’t been feeling very… kind to many people these days. It’s a work in progress. And it’s not behind my back if I can hear him talking about it and if you tell me about it anyways.”
Maleficent
7/11 10:55PM
“I have a….friend who could get rid of that puppy for you.”
Valerie Natsu
7/11 10:56PM
Valerie was getting to the point where she was ready to go. Maybe Dorian would have an easier chance to talk to Victor if at least one of them were gone, anyway. She got up, sighing as she looked at Mal. “Teddy is the only thing I ever look forward to whenever I go back to the cottage, Mal. Sloane got him for me.” She shrugged, then waved to Victor and Peter. “Good night, you two.” Her eyes drifted to Peter. “Behave.” And with that, she headed out.
(Going to bed. Can’t keep my eyes open much longer. x.x)
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 10:56PM
‘You again.’ The pretty one said, throwing their phone nonchalantly on the table, and tapped off their cigarette off nonchalantly, too. Everything they did seemed to be done with a certain placidness. ‘It’s a cell phone. What, you’ve never seemed one?’ Now /that/ was a surprise. Dream, they could understand. He was old. And boring. But Dorian? He was fun. They figured at least /he/ was cool.
Peter Augustine
7/11 10:56PM
[goodnight, Val!]
Daloki
7/11 10:56PM
Oy. Long story. I don’t know how to shorten it, but I’ll try. Back around 6,000 years ago I was used to create an explosion that blew up my dimension, and it was so powerful it also destroyed about 60,000 more dimensions before I stabilized.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:56PM
[Goodnight, Val!
]
Valno
7/11 10:57PM
-shock filled her eyes- Dal… I never..
Daloki
7/11 10:57PM
I’m just glad there’s still a Valno in this dimension!
<grins>
Valno
7/11 10:58PM
-she grins and pulls Dal into a side hug- It is harder then that to get rid of me
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 10:58PM
Victor dropped his hand tiredly into Peter’s, squeezing it for a second before letting go. “Goodnight, Valerie.” He seemed deeply approving of Peter’s apology, though, and relaxed slightly, before tilting his head to Labyrinth. “You wanted to speak to me, I believe?”
Dorian Grey
7/11 10:58PM
Dorian cast a weary glance to Peter. “I do not think I understand the precise meaning of the term ‘dickish'” the word sounded strange from the porcelain lips of the elitist. “But I do appreciate your apology and accept it. Victor your company is much to be desired and I only wish to dispel any ill feelings. When my company will not anger our friend then I will gladly lend it to you.” He looked to the phone. “I have seen them here….but they exceed my time I think…And I have never bothered to ask.” He cantered his head. “Does this Tarnish your view of me then?” He asked with a impish grin.
Daloki
7/11 10:59PM
Aw shucks <at the hug>
Valno
7/11 11:00PM
-smiles to Dal- I am glad to see you around
Alive
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:00PM
“Dickish being… rude. Mean. Bad.” He shrugged some more. “Not the first time my presence has had this affect though. Perhaps I should learn to bugger off every now and again.”
Daloki
7/11 11:00PM
Glad to see you, too. I know so damn few people here.
Valno
7/11 11:01PM
-she glances around and nods- Damn near no one
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:01PM
‘Not knowing what a phone is?’ They raised a perfectly manicured eyebrow, before picking up the phone, sliding their thumb across it, and holding it up to Dorian. ‘Say cheese.’ They purred, in the sweetest, dullest tone, before tapping the screen. Picture time.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:02PM
“Thank you.” Victor gave Dorian a tiny, polite smile. “I desire better acquaintance with you, also, and I am rather afraid of you vanishing for a long period of time without me having it.” He placed his hand back over Peter’s, hesitantly. “Perhaps be less…. possessive, of me? Unless I’m being too presumptuous in assuming it was I who caused your reaction.”
Daloki
7/11 11:02PM
<she sobers, though, at the word “alive”> Well see – I blue up 60,000 dimensions and survived. And if my body dies, the dimension I’m in explodes and I take over the body of the Daloki in the next one, killing her.
blew up!!!!
ye gods
Valno
7/11 11:03PM
-she raises a brow- Damn Dal your damn near immortal
Daloki
7/11 11:04PM
<bleakly> I’ve been told – and I hope it’s not true – that if all of reality were destroyed, my mind would live on, alone in the nothingness.
Valno
7/11 11:05PM
-she frowns slightly- I hope not as well to lonely of a life
Daloki
7/11 11:05PM
Probably wouldn’t take too long for me to go mad.
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:05PM
That was okay…..Dorian was very photogenic. THough the meaning of the word cheese eluded him he cast a small smirk anyway. “Yes…for not knowing what a phone is?” Oh…that was a good picture…he was so pale that he looked to be made of glass and his eyes sparkled. Basil would shit himself if he got a hold of that one… A nimble fingered hand cradling his own chin, the slightly turned head. “Does is make me seem dumb to you. So easily bored.” He glanced to victor. “I regret to say my disappearances are often. I do apologize.”
Valno
7/11 11:05PM
-she nods- Madness will get us all one day
Daloki
7/11 11:06PM
Which would be a mercy in that situation. Anyway…
Have I told you I’m not human any more? Or a vampire?
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:06PM
“…it’s hard being less possessive though.” Victor’s hand was given a gentle squeeze. “I care for your safety and well being far too much to not get… possessive and protective around you.” Or jealous. “Perhaps it’s best if I just leave every now and again instead. For now at least. I mean, I’ll only be upstairs, and you can always text me until it’s safe to come back down again.”
Valno
7/11 11:07PM
-her eyes flashed for a moment as she shook her head- No I did not… what are you
Daloki
7/11 11:08PM
I’m a Promethean. A being held together by the magic of fire stolen from this Greek guy called Prometheus. My mind is the product of a soul stone recording, and I have no actual soul. <gets a set look on her face> It was stolen.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:09PM
“I… I don’t want you to /leave/,” Victor said, sounding suddenly worried. “That wasn’t at all what I meant, Peter, please don’t think that-” He slipped forward a little onto the bar, tired. He didn’t really have the energy to deal with all of this, and slowly raised his head to Dorian. “Ah… I’m aware that we must be rather boring to you, and you seem as if you’re constantly being called away by other people. Much desired, and so forth.”
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:09PM
‘It makes you seem out of touch with this world.’ Desi said, a calmness to their perfect silen voice. They were just as pale as Dorian, who was only a couple of shades darker than their perfectly marble-skinned brother, who had left that table long ago, to sip red wine and read like the pretentious ass he was. ‘Reminds me of my brother.’ They said pointedly, and jabbed a thumb back in Dream’s direction. ‘But not in a bad way,’ They added, with a purr. At least Dream was very attractive, in his all white, young pretty-boy kind of way. Even Desire had to admit to that. They admitted to things being beautiful when they were rightly so. Dream was, in fact, that.
Valno
7/11 11:09PM
-her eyes flash back- Stolen!? By who? Oh and i heard of Promethean..
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:10PM
Lol desired..
Daloki
7/11 11:10PM
By the person who used me to cause the original explosion. A thing called The Mother.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:11PM
“I don’t think that, darling, I’m just saying, by own accord and willingness, that perhaps I should wait upstairs when… certain friends of yours come around since they aren’t too fond of me and I’m not too fond of them. You should be able to enjoy their company without mine souring it.”
Daloki
7/11 11:11PM
She also took my dead body and wears it like clothing. Goes by Ikolad. <rolls eyes> So clever. NOT.
Valno
7/11 11:11PM
-she glares at nothing- The Mother…. Is there any way to get your soul back?
Daloki
7/11 11:11PM
I don’t know where She is any more.
Haven’t seen Her or heard anything about Her for over a year.
Valno
7/11 11:12PM
-she giggles softly at Dals remark- Well we just might have to keep an eye out for her……Well that is a long time to go missing
Daloki
7/11 11:13PM
Oh, believe me, I do. But listen, the thing about me being Promethean you need to know is, I ever get badly hurt when you’re around, run away as fast as you can and tell everybody else to do the same, because I will unconsciously suck life force from anything around me to heal myself.
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:13PM
Dorian hummed a little. “I suppose I am distant from your world.” He hummed and tapped his fingers slightly on the table as he cast his gaze back to Victor and Peter. “Peter your company would not bother me if you reserved some of your baseless criticism…that is to say if you wish to start over we may.” He glanced back to Desire then Dream. “Not in a bad way then…in what was is this?”
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:14PM
“You’re talking at least partially about Denvy,” Victor said, eyes raising to Peter. “I would rather you just spoke to him, apologized and… I would like to enjoy both of your company. And I would like to enjoy both your and Dorian’s company. I do not like dividing myself.” This was why it was important to maintain a level of politeness. So that, for example, Peter could talk to both John and Victor, or Hamlet could talk to both Matt and Victor, because Victor would remain at least coolly polite to both of them.
Daloki
7/11 11:14PM
So if you were going to live to 80, by the time I was done maybe you’d only live to 55 or something, depending on how many people were around and how bad I was hurt.
Valno
7/11 11:15PM
-she raises a brow at her words and nods slightly- Good to know….. Kind of nifty though.. -she grins- Could get rid of people easily
Daloki
7/11 11:15PM
<a wicked grin> Oh, I have.
Valno
7/11 11:15PM
-she grins back and bounces slightly- Oh the fun that could be had
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:16PM
‘In a cute, innocent sort of way.’ Ah, yes. ‘You have that kind of face.’ They said, and held off their smirk with everything. ‘You aren’t innocent and we both know that. But your face and your ignorant could make people think you are. I like that.’ They sat forward, then, and showed Dorian the picture of himself. Noooot creepy at all, Desire.
Daloki
7/11 11:17PM
With a less serious injury, I can take a few seconds off the life of a large group of people and heal myself. It’s when I’m unconscious that’s the most dangerous.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:17PM
“You’re not dividing yourself though, Victor, you’re not. I’m simply removing myself from a situation by choice so you can enjoy yourself with having to worry about a petty little fight breaking out or becoming stressed over petty feelings. I’ll apologize to Denvy when I see it fit, but right now isn’t the time, so like I said, it’s best if I just… remove myself every now and again. If I’m having a good day and can keep my mouth shut I’ll stay, if not then I’ll go upstairs, and you can stay down here and enjoy some time with your friends.” Another squeeze, just because. His eyes shifted towards Dorian for a moment though and he just… shrugged.
Valno
7/11 11:18PM
-she nods- No worries I will try to keep my distance when you are unconscious -she winks-
Stirax Gloreslusher
7/11 11:19PM
The door was pushed opened but it was a moment before anyone actually entered. A tall male, dark haired with devilishly dark green eyes strode forth, crossing the threshold with a smile that promised so much without the slightest word. He wore dark jeans, a dress shirt and little else. His hands were bare, he seemed to carry no weapons and did not even wear shoes. He padded his way to the bar and lowered himself so gracefully into the chair, it seemed one fluid motion. Jerry was at his side immediately, whispering in his ear. Stirax nodded in agreement and the carmine bottle was placed before him. The smile grew into something more at the sight of the drink. One large hand wrapped around it and lifted it to his full lips. A long drink was taken, his eyes closed at the taste of the liquid. Perfect.
Daloki
7/11 11:19PM
There’s a difference between being knocked out and being unconscious and bleeding with internal injuries and a fractured skull <dryly>
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:19PM
“I don’t want you to…” Victor sighed, and nodded, squeezing Peter’s hand again. “I believe you spend far too much time worrying about my feelings on certain matters like this one. I should be concerned about yours- perhaps remove myself so you don’t have to become worried over these petty things.” He stared at Dorian, and nodded encouragingly, appreciating this very much.
Valno
7/11 11:20PM
-she nods- Touche Dal… Touche
Daloki
7/11 11:20PM
Damn shame we don’t have Phoenix tears anymore.
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:20PM
Dorian’s eyes lost that innocent sparkle for just a moment. There were far to many people here that he didn’t want to know his true nature for his façade to stay down. But for a moment…there was something sinister behind grey eyed. “Well…I will take this as a compliment then.” He cantered his head and looked over the picture and breathed ever so softly so only Desire would hear. “If I had a soul you would have captured it. “
Valno
7/11 11:21PM
-she grumbled- I know…. those things were amazing -she raised her hands looking at them- I still have my healing abilities
Whatever good they are
Stirax Gloreslusher
7/11 11:22PM
(damn brb)
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:22PM
“I…” Peter huffed softly. “I’ll deal with my feelings on my own. I’ll apologize and speak to Denvy when I see it fit, I’ve apologize to Mister Grey already, and I will think about starting… anew with him. But for now, I am going to worry about your feelings first. So…” He gently booped Victor’s nose. “Love ya.”
Daloki
7/11 11:22PM
Oh hey – if I have a minor injury, that would still work. If I’m conscious, I can control what I do.

‘I know.’ They said, without an ounce of hesitation in their voice. Yes, they knew. They knew very well, thank you very much. ‘If I had one… well.’ Their cherry lips pulled into a slight smirk, then. Let’s not think about that, those tawny golden eyes said, as they sparked with a raging, unquenchable… well. Desire.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:25PM
“I’d rather help you deal with your feelings,” Victor said, “since you’ve spent so long dealing with mine…” and flinched at the nose boop, looking just… confused. “And I you. Yes.” He tilted his head over to look at Dorian. Victor could appreciate aesthetic beauty, and he seemed rather appreciative of Dorian’s, but not overly so. He preferred more muscularly perfect specimens to appreciate. “Mister Grey, I don’t believe it’s safe for you to be talking to… /them/.”
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:27PM
“…awww. You looked like a little puppy dog there for a second.”
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:28PM
Dorian’s eyes, storms contained in glass orbs, searched Desire’s for a moment, and without parting the gold and grey he merely spoke back to Victor. “Desire and I have…sorted our past…I am a forgiving man Victor…They are…docile for the moment.” He finally looked to the scientist. “I am sorry I have run off your friend.” He cooed softly. “It was not my intention..”
Stirax Gloreslusher
7/11 11:29PM
His player has returned and thus Stirax is seated at the bar, looking like a tempting devilish delight. The bottle in his hand is near empty, sadly, and he is still alone. How unfortunate, he mused silently as those deadly eyes roamed the gathered patrons.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:31PM
“I am glad it wasn’t your intention,” Victor said, carefully, looking a little more wary at how close Dorian was to Desire. “I do… care about him, even if he offends you.” He blinked at Peter. “…I did not look like that. That is… undignified.”
Valno
7/11 11:31PM
-she tapped on the bar top to get the bartenders attention ordering a drink- Whisky please
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:32PM
“You did. Just for a second though.”
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:32PM
‘I’m perfectly safe.’ They said to Victor, and to Dorian. ‘I’m just here. Ordering suits. Getting a drink.’ There it was. That pretty, seductive, intoxicating purr in their voice, like a cat. Or maybe it was… more like a snake. ‘Nothing dangerous about me.’ The put their phone down on the table, and Dorian might have been able to catch a glimpse of the red heart tattooed on the inside of their hand. But only if he was paying close enough attention.
Valno
7/11 11:34PM
-she takes her glass and sips it-
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:35PM
“Only a second.” Victor seemed slightly comforted by that, and relaxed, but he stared at Desire, and nodded sharply. “You’ll forgive me if I have some… reservations, Desire.”
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:36PM
“Offending me is the pass time of some I have grown a tough skin to it. I will not lose sleep though I do admit it does not make me desire his company too much. Though I hope that could change.” Dorian had caught it…but too beifly to know what it had been. But he was none to shy and he reached across the table to take Desire’s hand in his to flip it over and peak, if he was not stopped.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:37PM
Peter leans over to whisper into Victor’s ear. “What friend are you two talking about? I haven’t been paying that much attention.”
Lucia Rogers
7/11 11:38PM
*Lucia made her way into the inn*
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:39PM
“/You/,” Victor whispered back. “I thought you’d noticed.” He looked back at Dorian and gave him a slight, awkward, and somewhat forced smile. “I also hope it can change.” But Desire was making him uncomfortable, really.
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:39PM
Desire didn’t actually mind. They flicked their gaze away to meet Victor’s. And they had such pretty eyes, didn’t they? So bright and shifting, brilliant in color. Someone could get lost in those eyes. Just disappear completely into them. The tattoo on their hand was in fact of a heart. It was just a red outline, and they had the same on the other palm, with a crack going down the middle of it. Symbolic, and also kinda… cool. But, that other hand was holding a cigarette to their lips, and they’d be damned if someone pulled /that/ hand away.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:41PM
“Oh. Shit no, not at all.” Peter glances over at Dorian and then back to Victor. He shrugs.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:42PM
“You, because you’re my friend and he’s sorry for making you leave because I clearly care about you,” Victor whispered back, and stared back at Desire, eyes narrowing at them, and trying very hard not to look at their eyes. Desire next to Dorian. Terrible combination for him.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:42PM
“Oh well, he’s not making me leave, I’d leave on my own accord, and also I’m here so there’s that.”
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:44PM
Dorian hummed a little and traced the heart before he let Desire’s hand go again and sat back in his seat, reaching up to rub at the back of his neck. Suddenly he seemed…antsy. Drugs were wearing off, and sobriety was like a freight train that he was none to fond off. “Excuse me…is there a powder room of some sort around here.” H was already reaching into the pocket of the long pea coat…..fingering at the black pouch there.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:45PM
“I’m glad you’re here,” Victor said, edging closer to Peter. “I do desire closer acquaintance with Mister Grey, and I certainly desire your acquaintance…” He sat up close to look at Dorian. “I believe there is a room of that kind, but they’ve combined it with the toilette, which I find… displeasing.”
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:45PM
‘If you want a little kick,’ They said, watching him get… just a little fidgety. Desire /liked/ drugs. It took a /lot/ of that to affect an Endless, but they’d found the right amount. ‘I can give you something stronger than…’ They gestured emptily to Dorian’s fidgety hand.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:46PM
“Right around the corner on the right side of the bar, Grey.” See? Peter was being all nice and helpful and shit.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:48PM
“Don’t take anything from them, Dorian,” Victor said, peering at Dorian and Desire carefully. And oh. First name terms now. “I could give you laudanum or morphine, as you prefer…”
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:49PM
“I beg your pardon.” He murmured to Desire, his gaze flickering to Peter and Victor pointedly. He seemed to like to keep up appearances. Then he cleared his throat with a slight frown. “I do find that disturbing…but nonetheless.” There was suddenly a little color to his cheeks. “I would prefer my…. habits be kept off of everyone’s lips please. They are not something I am proud of.” He hesitated before he took off quickly from the group.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:50PM
“I apologize for that,” Victor said, suddenly, flinching a little. “Everyone is normally so candid, here. I forgot my decorum in speaking of such things.” He dipped his head apologetically to Dorian, seeming genuinely contrite at having hurt his feelings.
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:51PM
‘Aww. You scared him off.’ Desire said, a little bit of hiss to their perfect voice. Ah well. The fun was gone.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:52PM
Hey now, Peter wasn’t mentioning anything about the drugs, just directing him to the bathroom. Because he could be… nice and all.
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:53PM
“I had no wish to scare him off,” Victor said, squeezing Peter’s hand, mainly for comfort. “Desire, please… leave him alone. He protected me from you once, there’s no need for you to… corrupt him.” Ha. Funny.
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:55PM
They sat back, staring at Victor a long moment, before smirking slightly. ‘I’ll have you know that he came on to me. And I think I’ll be flirting and talking with whoever I want to, you sexually repressed meat sack. Besides, I like him. I have feelings too, you know.’ Did they? Really? Well… hard to say. They had expressed /some/ emotion before. But… nothing was really confirmed there.
Peter Augustine
7/11 11:56PM
“Oh, piss off Desire. Leave him do as he wishes without blurting out his business to everyone within hearing distance. If you like him then have some damn respect for him.”
Victor Frankenstein
7/11 11:56PM
“He isn’t flirting, he’s just being polite. I am tired of politeness being misinterpreted such- I am /also/ polite to people, and-” And Victor was definitely projecting onto Dorian, and he bristled. “Don’t call me that!” He glanced over at Peter and sighed, glad to have some defense.
Dorian Grey
7/11 11:59PM
He was not gone long. He had perfected his crime. He had to make things as quick as possible for those moments when he was entertaining and couldn’t be away long. THis was in fact one of those moments. Less than five minutes went by before he was walking back into the room and pulling his coat back on. He could feel the tension he walked into however and hesitated…his grey eyes peaking through the white hair. “I feel…I have walked into a conversation that is more tense than the one I left… If I…If I have hurt feelings with the sharpness of my tone previously I do apologize.”
D R E A M | The Sandman |
7/11 11:59PM
‘You’re mean.’ Desire said, without a lick of patience in their voice, as they gazed at Victor, and then at Peter, and then back to Victor. There was no emotion there, or if there was it was… certainly hidden. But they took a puff of that cigarette, and tapped it off onto the table, brushing the ashes away. They glanced at Dorian, tilting their head back slightly to regard him, but said nothing.
Victor Frankenstein
00:00AM
“You have not, no, you’ve done nothing wrong.” Victor tossed his head back and looked at Dorian, a little worried for him. “You have no reason to apologize. I do, for being so impolite to you.” He carefully played with his coffee cup, taking a quiet sip of it.
Peter Augustine
00:00AM
“No, no, /they/ were flirting, not Grey, darling. Though I’m sure he was flirting a little bit.” Peter gave Victor’s hand another squeeze. There, there, all was alright. “You’re fine, Grey.”
Dorian Grey
00:04AM
Dorian glanced between them all, looking tense and tired suddenly. “Alright….well has Desire done something…nobody seems hurt. I do think perhaps we could all be a little more cordial.”
Victor Frankenstein
00:05AM
“I agree,” Victor said, seeming delighted by Dorian’s insistence on cordiality. Someone after Victor’s own, decorous heart. He squeezed Peter’s hand back. “Desire was merely overly crude to me after I asked that they perhaps… well, never mind that, it’s in the past. Would you like some coffee, Dorian Grey?”
Peter Augustine
00:11AM
“Mm…” Peter was not at all paying attention anymore. His little mind having flown out the window in search of things. Like peanut facts.
D R E A M | The Sandman |
00:12AM
‘You asked that I stay away from him.’ They said, perhaps a bit overly bitter at this point. ‘And don’t talk to him. And leave him alone.’ They smiled then, a perfectly pleasant smile, half amused and half… unnerving.
Victor Frankenstein
00:14AM
“I did ask that, because…” Victor squirmed again. “Because you are cruel, Desire, and I am protective of those that I feel need my protection.” He squeezed Peter’s hand again, trying to draw Peter’s attention back. Away from the peanut facts.
Dorian Grey
00:15AM
Dorian looked between Desire and Victor….none too happy. “Victor I do not believe this is a decision that it is right for you to make for me….your concern is noted but…Desire has given me little reason to dislike them…they have treated me better than some here.” There was a glance tossed to Peter, only to make a point not to cause an argument. “I appreciate your friendship and concern but I don’t think we are close enough for you to choose who I speak to. For that is all we are doing…is speaking.”
Valno
00:16AM
(Dals Back)
Peter Augustine
00:16AM
The hand was squeezed back, a sign that Peter was ya know, there, just not paying attention all the way. “Mmm…” His eyes squinted a bit, and then widened slightly as his brows went up and he gave a slight nod of his head along with a sound of interest.
Victor Frankenstein
00:17AM
“I thought you… rescued me from Desire.” Victor seemed a little hurt. “I thought you, of all people, would have known their danger, after you pulled the glass shards from my face and cared for me.” But he wasn’t going to argue about that, so he took a breath and nodded. “No. You are right. I… have no right, really, to recommend those kind of things, so I am… deeply sorry, Mr. Grey, for my presumption.”
D R E A M | The Sandman |
00:18AM
Aww, look at that. Ruining potential friendships. Their favorite thing to do. After a moment, they wandered to the bar, just a couple feet from the table, for whiskey. They scrolled absently through their phone, before tossing it on the table, and putting their cigarette out on their hand.
Dorian Grey
00:21AM
“Danger does not mean I shy from it.” He cantered his head. “I confess I am often drawn to it and my interest in Desire is not in void of you…” Ah Dorian….playing all the fields. “I apologize if my friendship with them upsets you. Like most horrid things I have done tonight it was not my intention.” He cantered his head. “And I will rescue you from anyone Victor…and if Desire does prove to be nothing but a force of evil believe you me I will turn tail. But like you have elected to do with me, I want to find out on my own accord.”
Peter Augustine
00:23AM
And now Peter’s mumbling beneath his breath, something about woodpeckers and sighing to the sky.
Victor Frankenstein
00:24AM
“You have… seen them do terrible things, though-” Victor broke off, shaking his head. “I do not mean to offend you, in any way. My opinion of you has not changed because of your… willingness to disregard the past with Desire. Perhaps it’s an admirable thing.” But it still clearly hurt him, and he squeezed Peter’s hand tightly. “What are you saying, Peter?”
Peter Augustine
00:25AM
“…the bark on the tree as soft as the sky, the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, he cries to the moon ‘if only, if only…'” And that was soon followed by a yawn and a smack of the lips. “What’s wrong? Whose ass do I gotta kick?”
D R E A M | The Sandman |
00:27AM
Desire definitely isn’t just spacing out while flipping through their phone. Boring, boring, boring…
Victor Frankenstein
00:28AM
“No one’s, Peter. I’m overemotional. It’ll pass.” Victor tilted his head. “That’s a rather pretty song. I like it. A lullabye? I think you’ve sung it to me before.”
Peter Augustine
00:30AM
He stares at Victor for a moment before nodding. “Mm, sort of like a lullabye. I only gave you the first verse though, never the second.”
Dorian Grey
00:30AM
Dorian blinked a little and looked between Victor and Desire….damn he had lost them both…..he sort of just stood there for a moment before he pulled a silver case from his suit jacket. “I think I will go outside for a smoke.” He was joping that one of them would follow….
D R E A M | The Sandman |
00:31AM
Desire was down for that. Glass of whiskey in hand, they pulled a fresh pack of cigarettes from their inner jacket pocket, and rose gracefully to their feet. ‘Right behind you, pretty boy.’
Victor Frankenstein
00:32AM
“What is the second verse?” Victor squeezed Peter’s hand, and tilted his head at Dorian. “It’s a bar. You could smoke in here, if you so desired.” He was still willing to try and get close to Dorian, but not enough to just leave the Inn. And it did rather hurt to see Desire just… follow him outside, so he sighed and just slumped back down onto the bar. “As I said. Do what you will.”
Peter Augustine
00:34AM
Peter watches them go, a heavy sigh leaving his lips. “If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply; reflecting the sun and all that’s gone by. Be strong my weary wolf; turn around boldly. Fly high, my baby bird, my angel, my only…”
Dorian Grey
00:36AM
Dorian walked onto the porch and pulled one of the hand rolled cigarettes from the tin and lit it with a match from his pocket. “Desire I have made myself a tight rope to walk and I wish to climb down now. I came to this place because I was told there had to be no secrets here and yet there are and there are those that know them without my telling…I have been stripped of the right to tell my own secrets. It bothers me so.” He breathed out smoke and added. “I did not lure you out here to speak your ear off. I do apologize.” He hummed. “Don’t listen to me.”

The Drunken Dragon Inn
April 15, 2017 in Uncategorized
The Inn is set in the booze district of the magical city of beasts known as Ruin. There, monsters live, they thrive, they grow and survive. Trolls, Ogres, Giants, Demons, Mountain Kobolds and Cthuvian Horrors, all exist together in a seamless harmony brokered by the Minions of Tor that watch over everything.
The Inn itself is a place of debauched revelry. The worst beasts and beings from across the universe gather here in this ramshackle building to drink too much, grope too much, cuss too much and engage in any and every excess that can be imagined. They are the slovenly and the losers of the magical world, but they need a home too, and this is it.
The shack that houses the Drunken Dragon Inn is by necessity magical, growing, shrinking, resizing and repairing to match any creature, any need. Within the walls there is a sense of security, without authority, which produces an atmosphere where inhibitions are often shed, leading to scandalous actions by even the most stalwart of souls.
And presiding over this conclave of the damned, drunk, and slovenly, is Barry the Barkeep, sometimes known as Barry the Bad, a comic book nerd turned super villain turned super god turned slinger of drinks, he is beyond powerful and yet he reserves his rights and doesn’t bother to push any agenda, or even keep the peace in his ramshackle domain.
So do you dare, to enter the city of Ruin, do you dare to tread the treacherous passages… of the Drunken Dragon Inn?

Rumors of Dragons Are Largely False
September 30, 2016 in Uncategorized
Recent reports of dragons rampaging naked through the streets of Ohio are completely unfounded and also quite a bit racist, and frankly we as a species are getting tired of being slandered. Have you ever seen a naked reptile stomping through the streets setting fire to everything you love? No? Of course not, because it doesn’t happen, so stop spreading rumors and start spreading love. Peace out.
