You Know Nothing of Real Monsters

"Do you hear the sounds the monsters make in the dead of night? No? Well then, I'm so very sorry for your loss." (( Dark!Alex - OC RP/Ask blog - WTNV - WTDB - Affiliated with the Dark Night Vale AU created by Marcy ))

“Did you really think I was worrying? I’m the Voice. The Smiling God will protect me from whatever you’re trying to do.” Kevin spit at the scientist. “Whatever you’re planning, you can’t hurt me.”

The scientists smile broadens and he starts laughing hysterically. No wonder people liked listening to the guy, he was a riot! And that smile, what a sight!

“Well…if you die, I can bring you back to life!” He says in between the shakes of laughter. “Sorry-sorry…laughter it’s contagious you know?” Alex says trying to regain his composure.

“Then we can have all the fun! Like hide and seek or other games. Something fun!”

“You can bring the dead back, hm?” Kevin cocks his head just a little. “Gotta say, if you can really do it, I wouldn’t mind you trying it on me.” He grins. He had to admit that this scientist is at least entertaining.

“And of course laughter is contagious! It’s so perfect that way! Now…” He lets out another little gasp. “Continue. Then we’ll have some real fun.”

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

"Well..." Alex starts, the amused tone gone. "It's not exactly 'bringing you back from the dead' it's more like rebuilding you and just implanting you inside of it." Lots of things could go wrong during the procedure and he didn't want to loose his new friend so quickly.

"Laughter is very fun, maybe that'll be my next project. Trying to find a way to contain laughter." Alex mumbles quietly as he slides the scalpel down the hosts neck. Cutting through the soft flesh with a flick of his wrist.

Wynn ran through the streets, completely soaked by the rain that was pouring down, squeaking softly at every flash of lightning. They knocked at the door of alex's house frantically, keeping their arms wrapped around their own cold shivering body.

There was the sound of knocking on the door that woke Alex up. He got up from his comfy seat, muttering curses under his breath as he walked towards the front door. Pissed and tired, the chemist opened the door with a little too much force. 

“Wynn?” Alex asked, mood and tone changing to concern. “What are you doing out in a storm like this?”

Wynn lets themself fall against Alex’s body, leaning into the taller man quite heavily. Tears mix with the water on their face and they don’t feel like talking so they simply leave the question unanswered, just getting a tighter grip on the other male. Another loud clap of thunder causes their body to tense and presses themself closer against Alex, hiding their face against his chest. 

[alexander-lykej-blog]

Alex automatically wraps his arms around their wet shaking form, picking them up and carrying them inside. His bare feet pad quietly on the wooden floors as he carries them upstairs and lays them gently in the bed.

“Stay here I’ll go get some towels.” He says giving them a pat on the head before turning and grabbing a few towels from the hallway closet.

[venomous-innocense-blog]

Wynn curls up, still shivering. They remain like that for a little while before sitting up and undressing completely, dropping their wet clothes to the floor and curls up again to try and get warm. Maybe Alex could lie down with them when he’d return.

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex returns a few minutes later with an armful of towels. He silently places them on their form and takes a seat on the bed. It’s weird, taking care of something that wasn’t created by him. Usually petting the children help calm them down so he does just that, he slowly strokes their shivering form.

[venomous-innocense-blog]

They relaxes into the touch, closing their eyes, They carefully grab his hand and tries to pull him closer so he would lie down as well. ‘lex’ they murmur softly, curling up against him and wrapping their arms around the man’s waist. 

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

He’s hesitates for a moment, unused to the almost gentile touch before settling besides his friend. Alex cards his finger through their hair, still very hesitant of their reactions. “You gonna just crash here for a while?”

[venomous-innocense-blog]

‘If you don’t mind me being here?’ They ask, looking him in the eyes and gently nuzzles at him. 'Just until the storm settles.’ They murmur, tensing briefly at another clap of thunder outside.

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex shakes his head slowly. "No no you're fine." Strange, usually he would have kicked anybody else to the curb by now but with Wynn it was different. "Just get out of here by morning, don't want the kids to see."

"Hey Stevie, heard that Cecil said you were too vanilla. What'd you do?" -a-dark-scientist

“Why is everyone suddenly interested in my sex life? It’s perfectly fine,” Steve groaned. “Come on.”

“Ummm,” Steve replied and took a step to the side, to leave himself room to run away. “They’re our rules though. I don’t want to cheat on her. And I’m sure you’re a very handsome man but I’m not into dudes so… Maybe this experiment is not the best idea?”

“So?” Alex drawled. “Haven’t you heard? Rules were meant to be broken Steve-O.” He says, mood sifting to something a little more unstable. “Awww. A pity then, humans and their pathetic preference over genders…” He says trailing off, eyes gazing past the others shoulder for a moment. “But no matter! We can still have fun in other ways~”

Steve shifted uncomfortably. He somehow felt that this guy did not exactly decide to let him off the hook just yet. “What do you mean?” he asked with a tentative smile. “We could… Well, we could scream at the void, that’s always fine, right?”

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

"I like the screaming bit, not so much the void part." He hums, pondering for a moment. "Maybe I'll make you scream? Tie you down to a table and take some samples!" Alex says reaching for the others hand. If he couldn't have Steve then it was time to get the next best thing.

“Lots of things! Like maybe” Alex stresses the word in a playful tone. “Maybe using you to get some of that delicious blood! Or~ or or or or…cutting out some of your vocal cords and seeing how well you can scream while I cut you open and see what makes you tick?!” He says, practically vibrating in excitement like a child on Christmas Day.

“And then later we can play…well, if the kids decide that your cool enough to play with me.”

“Don’t you think it’ll be a little hard to play with me if you cut a little too much? Hard to play with an experiment that’s dead, right?” Kevin licks his lips. He’s nervous, sure, but he knows Strex can fix whatever Alex decides to do to him.

“And you really think my blood is delicious, hm? I do like hearing that!” He laughs, making the knife cut deeper into his throat.

Alex hums excitedly. “Maybe later big fella…” He says, voice light as he watches the crimson liquid well up from the small incision on his captives jugular.

“Maybe after I’m done here, and only if you taste good, maybe we can have so real fun. Maybe, maybe, maybe…” He says in a sing song voice, dabbing his fingers in the small pool of red and licking off the stray droplets from his fingers. “So many maybes.”

Kevin lets out a loud gasp as he feels the blood start dripping down his neck. “S-so what are you planning to do to me, hm?”

He tries to wiggle his shoulders a little, but his range of movement is quite limited. “And maybes are good. Especially a maybe for some real fun after you’re done with me~” He grinned.

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex hummed softly, watching the other with keen eyes. Why did do they always have to be so difficult with him?

“I don’t think she would Stevie.” Alex purrs. “Why don’t we do a little experiment? For scientific reasons of course.”

[stevethevilescorpio]

“W-what scientific reasons?” Steve asked and took another step back, bumping into a wall. “A-and unless you know my wife, I think I can predict her reaction better than you!”

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

“Scientifically testing how well you can deal with me.” Alex whispers, leaning forwards so that the two of them were barely a few centimeters away from each other.

[stevethevilescorpio]

“Uuhh.. W-what’s your thesis?” Steve asked faintly, doing his best to merge with the wall behind him. What did this guy even want from him!?

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

“My hypothesis is that you can’t. You’ll have to either run and I’ll catch you, no fun for you by the way, only for me. Or you can break your wife’s rules a little bit.” Alex says, a smile starting to pull at his lips.

[stevethevilescorpio]

“Ummm,” Steve replied and took a step to the side, to leave himself room to run away. “They’re our rules though. I don’t want to cheat on her. And I’m sure you’re a very handsome man but I’m not into dudes so… Maybe this experiment is not the best idea?”

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

"So?" Alex drawled. "Haven't you heard? Rules were meant to be broken Steve-O." He says, mood sifting to something a little more unstable. "Awww. A pity then, humans and their pathetic preference over genders..." He says trailing off, eyes gazing past the others shoulder for a moment. "But no matter! We can still have fun in other ways~"

You're a monster -(a-dark-scientist)

Eugene looked down at the knife in his hand the monster dead at his feet. He looked up at the handsome man and let out a shrill, loud laugh.

“I am!” he admitted “I am a monster. My mama said it herself, and she never lies to me!” he lowers his knife, gesturing to the plant-creature hybrid on the floor. “But so was this, and so are you.”

[candycoatedcausality-blog]

Eugene watched the man skeptically. How many monsters could this man have possibly created?  

“M’not afraid! I’m not afraid of bullies. like. you!” at the last shout he stabbed his knife into the body next to him, the sharp blade easily going through the soft, cold, flesh.

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex is…hurt by the statement, he’s not a bully. He doesn’t pick on weaker people, or at least he doesn’t mean to. He don’t feel like a bully and he certainly doesn’t kill just to be popular.

“I’m not that.” Alex says coldly, not letting his inner emotions change his voice. “I’m not a bully.”

[candycoatedcausality-blog]

“Yes you are! You push and you take things! A-and this is my home, I won’t let you or your children take it! I know bullies like you..” he gestured to Alex “Y-you’re huge and bulking and you think you can get away with this because you’re bigger and more handsome than me!”

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

"I can get away with things because I'm smart." He sneers, wiping away any and all sentiment he had felt before. "My stature is simply an added advantage. It's not my fault that you killer her, and it's definitely not my problem that you'll end up dead sooner or later."

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

268 walked further through the building, softly humming to themself. Then they come across more labs and sees Alex, cautiously entering. 'Hi there. How are you doing today, sir?' they ask politely with a small smile. ~ artificial-heartbeat {{ sorry if this sent twice omg what is tumblr even doing}}

“Oh, hello there!” Alex says looking up from his autopsy noticing the new mech in the doorway. Oh this was going to be fun. 

“I’m doing fine today! And you don’t need to call me sir! Alex is just fine” He says smiling widely, gesturing for the other to come in. One of the children growl at the newcomer but quickly settle down after a harsh glare from the scientist. “Don’t mind the kids, they’re just mad. I haven’t fed them today.” 

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex smiles sadly at his creation. “It’s dead.” He says simply, watching the black goo ooze out of the carcass. “It’s a real shame too, I don’t loose kids often. At least not anymore, I’ve gotten too good at what I do.” Alex says, cutting a thin line down one of the monsters appendages. 

“This is the first time you’ve seen death right?” The scientist asks, not looking up from the creature on the table.

[artificial-heartbeat]

‘Dead?’ they repeat, keeping their eyes on the creature for some longer but looks away when alex makes another cut into one of the tentacles, not being able to stand the sight of an animal being harmed even if it’s unresponsive. 

‘Yes. Can you explain it to me?’ they ask, refusing to look at the animal again and just stares at the floor instead.

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

“Well, when the heart is unable to keep a steady beat, the organism dies.” Alex says plainly, taking a pair of tweezers and retrieving samples of his creation’s flesh. “When an organism dies, it doesn’t respond to any sort of stimuli. Well…not all stimuli but most.” He corrects, remembering all the times he brought back a child.

“Either way, you need to understand that this is a perfectly normal thing to happen. All creatures die in time.”

[artificial-heartbeat]

They touch their own chest briefly, feeling the lack of a heartbeat, only knowing that it’s working because the statistics say so. ‘My heart doesn’t beat..’ they murmur, looking back at the man next to them.

‘Does that mean I’m dead? Can you make me alive?’ they ask, feeling a strange feeling of sadness being picked up by their receptors at the realization. 

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex looks up at the biomachine, a sad smile on his face. “Oh, I’m so sorry darling, but you’re a mech. You weren’t ever alive in the first place.” The scientist says, laying a gentile hand on the biomachine’s shoulder. 

“Your heart doesn’t beat because you were built by mechanics. This, of course, doesn’t mean that you’re dead. Just different from humans.” Alex says reassuringly.  

[artificial-heartbeat]

‘Oh..’ they mutter at the other’s words, looking back at the dead thing on the table. ‘Can’t you make me human? Mostly? I don’t want to be different..’ the biomachine asks, hoping that he could help them. They just wanted to actually live. 

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

“Sorry kid.” Alex says, watching how the biomachine reacted. “I’m a biochemist, or I was, but the thing is, I only work with organic material. And you certain aren’t organic.” He says poking the mechs chest.

[artificial-heartbeat]

Their expression saddened, but they gave up anyway. It couldn’t be done. ‘Can you teach me more about organic beings?’ They ask instead, still curious.

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex’s smile brightens, he always did love teaching people or in this case mechs. “Why of course I could! Science is so very fascinating. So many things to discover and create!” He says enthusiastically waving his arm around his lab.

[artificial-heartbeat]

‘How do you even manage to create those beings?’ They asked, looking back at the thing on the table. It honestly fascinated them. How did something like that grow out to become the way it was now?

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

"Oh science of course!" Alex says animatedly waving at his extensive collection of tools. "Lots of home grown material, lots of electricity, lots of love~"

[lightandblood-blog]

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing – I’ve got a medical degree, you know.” -( a-dark-scientist

“Did you really think I was worrying? I’m the Voice. The Smiling God will protect me from whatever you’re trying to do.” Kevin spit at the scientist. “Whatever you’re planning, you can’t hurt me.”

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

“Oh darling, that’s adorable.” Alex says faking the sweetness in his voice. He silently paces around the medical table, a scalpel in hand.

“You still believe in a smiling fucking god? You still believe that this godforsaken town still needs your voice? You still believe that I can’t hurt you?” He snarls, reaching out and grabbing the radio host by the throat. “If you say yes to any of the questions above, you’re so very wrong Kevin.”

[lightandblood-blog]

“Every town needs a voice.” Kevin hissed, gritting his teeth. He tested the straps holding him down on the table- far too tight for him to work his way out.

He took in a sharp breath when Alex reached for his throat. “Why, though?” He forced out. “Why do this to me?”

[shipping-anon-blog]

“Because its fun, and what’s fun without the tint of madness!” Alex says, a deranged smile plastered in his face. “Haven’t you heard the good news Kev?The doctors said that I’m insane~” He says laughing and smiling as he recites random piece of information.

His laugher dies of as quickly as it came as he puts the scalpels razor sharp edge to Kevin’s neck, just above his vocal cords. “Well you did say that ‘every town needs a voice’” the scientist states, imitating Kevin’s voice mockingly. “So let’s start right here.” Pressuring down on so that the tip of the blade starts to dig into his captives neck.

[lightandblood-blog]

Kevin sighs. “I’ll at least give you credit for knowing what you’re doing. I’d have slit your throat already if not for these straps.”

He stops talking the second he feels the blade against his neck. He knows the scientist is serious, and he hisses as the scalpel digs into his skin. “F-fuck you.” He growls through gritted teeth.

[a-dark-scientist-blog]

Alex hums excitedly. "Maybe later big fella..." He says, voice light as he watches the crimson liquid well up from the small incision on his captives jugular.

"Maybe after I'm done here, and only if you taste good, maybe we can have so real fun. Maybe, maybe, maybe..." He says in a sing song voice, dabbing his fingers in the small pool of red and licking off the stray droplets from his fingers. "So many maybes."
