eighteen | trip like I do

Around
[On a fine Friday morning, Slugger stands at the top of his driveway overlooking the perfect yard and perfect street in this perfect 1950s "utopia", and knows that this reality was born of someone else's delusional madness. He yawns. Well, better find some way to kill the time. Not looking back at the house on Anderson Lane, he rolls down the driveway on golden rollerblades and into the street, carrying his warped baseball bat at his side. Some of the drones, recognizing him as their paperboy, smile and wave at him as he passes. He either ignores them or waves back in a ridiculous parody of cheer. He's pretty sure he's killed a few of them at least a dozen times.

Today, Slugger decides he may as well try and find a place in Mayfield he's never been to before and grace it with his deplorable presence. One may spot him skating aimlessly around downtown Mayfield for a short time until he seems to hit on a more specific destination...]


Jacques' Roller Rink 
[The worn, wooden floors make for a relatively smooth skating surface. Slugger can be seen skating forwards, backwards, and sideways on the rink with surprising dexterity. He can also be seen swerving in front of drones and causing "accidents" in the rink. For his amusement, he's made a game of seeing how many people he can trip and knock over at a time. Clearly, he's a menace to society.]

Action

[Mart sees that crazy roller skating kid go by his house, so he decides to follow.... straight to the roller rink.]

[When Slugger spots him, he's of course wearing that same toothy smirk on his face as if it's a permanent fixture. He'll skate by with both hands out, fingers splayed to show Mart that there's nothing in his hands. Not even a crumb.]

I don't have it.

[Mart points back at Slugger.]

I know you don't have anything.

I just wanted to make sure...

Stalker.

[said the pot to the kettle]

Shut up creep.

What's your deal anyhow?

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-06-26 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing. What's yours?

Gonna try to eat me?


[Yeah right. He'd like to see you try.]

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
My deal is not getting fucked with.

Is that so wrong?

And I could try, but something about you makes me think you'd give me indigestion.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wrong? No. Stupid? Maybe

You thought he was fucking with you then, huh Mart? In a blink he's gone. But you'll still hear his voice from directly behind.]

It depends~

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aw fuck.

He's right behind him now, isn't he?

It's times like these that Mart wished he still had his near invulnerability...]

What the fuck are you...?

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is that fear he tastes? So long as Mart doesn't move, Slugger is going to stay right where he is behind him.]

Guess.

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mart just stays still.

He's watched enough horror movies to know what'll happen if he turns around.]

Uh, well first off I'd probably have to say you're a demon.

'Cause demons are creepy motherfuckers.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe...

Did gods fight demons in your world?

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

My dad, Leviathan is a god... which makes me a demi-god.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's assuming you intend to follow a similar path.]

Why did they fight?

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-27 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno all the details but...

When the world was created, my dad was one of the three primordial creatures to come into existence with their element. The ocean and water for my dad. Demons wanted to kill my dad and the other two for divine power... but they all still stand. Doesn't mean those bastards won't try again.

And don't YOU even try with me...

[A derisive smirk.]

I don't need your power.

[He steps out from behind Mart, rolling to the side on his skates.]

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Mart mentally breathes a sigh of relief.]

So, you are a demon?

[Mart's keeping those eyes locked on Slugger.]

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Skating backward on one foot never looked so ridiculously easy. Clearly, he is the Lord of the Roller Rink.]

Close.

What's it matter? Scared?

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-28 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Mart's keeping his eyes on Slugger. He does not want him out of his line of sight.]

Nope.

Just cautious.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-06-29 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Paranoid, then.

[A scrawling grin full of long white teeth splits his face.]

So is that all? Or do you want to race?

[pfff! He'd so win that.]

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-06-29 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mart gives a grin of his own, fear now replaced with bravado.]

Please. Don't even try to outshine my smile.

And if it's a race you want, it's a race you're gonna lose!

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Alright, fine. You win the smile contest this time.]

Turning down a head start, then? Your loss.

[identity profile] jaws5sonofjaws.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't need no head start to leave your ass in the dust.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take you right now.
