BULLETS LIKE RAIN.

there is a house in sin city, they call the rising sun, and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy and god, i know i'm one. i've got one foot on the platform the other's on the train, i'm going back to sin city to wear that ball and chain. well, mothers and your children, never do what i have done, spend your life in sin and misery in the house of the rising sun.

          THE SOUND OF A CAR DOOR SHUTTING  steals  polly’s  attention  away  from  her  book.  at  this  hour  and  in  her  line  of  work,  such  things  usually  signal  bad  news.  quickly  she  heads  to  the  drawer  and  slips  the  pistol  into  the  pocket  of  her  dressing  gown,  creeping  towards  the  window  to  peer  out  at  the  suspect.  but  the  figure  has  already  ascended  the  pathway  and  entered  the  house,  and  widened  black  hues  flash  towards  the  doorway  as  shaky  fingers  slip  into  her  now  weighted  pocket.

          “  michael, ”  the  name  tumbles  out  of  her  with  mighty  relief,  tight  shoulders  now  unwinding  as  her  arms  reach  out  to  close  the  gap  between  them  and  pull  her  son  safely  in  to  her  embrace.  “  you  should  have  told  me  you  were  coming -  i’d  have  got  the  maid  to  make  you  some  food. ”

          stepping  out  of  his  car,  back  aching  from  the  drive,  michael’s  walk  is  slow,  the  nights  are  long  and  hard,  and  sometimes  the  terrifying  aspects  of  the  job  haunt  him  even  when  he  sleeps.   michael  has  shadows  under  his  eyes  that  replicate  tommy’s,  and  it’s  becoming  far  too  obvious  in  his  step  and  stance  that  he’s  mimicking  his  cousin  to  near  perfection.   he  smiles  when  he  sees  his  mother,  a  soft  light  in  his  eyes  as  he  hugs  her.   

          “  ah,  there’s  no  need,  mum....   i  just  wanted  to  see  you  while  i  wasn’t  busy.   i’m  sorry  it’s  so  late.  ”   he  murmurs,  ghost  of  a  smile  twitching  on  his  lips.   he  breathes  in,  shaky  in  the  calm  night.   “  i  was  doing  some  work  when  i  realised  i  hadn’t  seen  you  all  day.   felt  bad.   how  are  you  doing..?  ”

Don’t like the new dark blue? We’ve got you covered.

This is a short-term fix that essentially undoes the new dashboard update (except on settings pages, sorry), including for any themes or userstyles you use. Grab Old Blue from the gallery today and fling yourself back in time to a more comfortable yesterday.

ada’s eyes light up in pure joy, at the sight in front of her. the youngest shelby appearing around the doorway. the teacup in front of her polly had made for her as she stands and dashes forward. “ christ ! ” she exclaimed as she reached him pulling her little brother into an embrace. “would you look at you !! you’re all grown up,”

          finn  blinks  a  few  times,  before  his  eyes  light  up  at  the  sight  of  his  sister,  his  arms  raising  to  hug  her  tightly.   “  ada !  ”   he  says,  bright  and  happy.   as  much  as  he  posed  tough  for  the  benefit  of  himself  and  his  family,  to  the  point  where  he  kept  up  the  charade  around  his  brothers  and  aunt, ( or  tried  to. )  he  couldn’t  help  but  lower  it  for  his  sister,  tucking  his  nose  into  her  shoulder,  before  he  grins  at  her.   “  yeh,  i’ve  been  workin’  for  tom  for  a  while.   missed  seein’  you  around,  though.   how’s  life  overseas,  eh ? ”

            sliding on the couch next to him, mina wrapped an arm around winter’s waist and nuzzled into his shoulder for a moment before looking up to him, green eyes shining brightly as she fluttered her eyelashes and wide smile blooming on her features. “ watcha doing, baby~? ”

[cybereffigy-blog]

          he  moves  the  notebook  on  instinct,  knowing  mina  well  enough  to  adjust  to  her  presence  without  any  second  thought.   he  presses  a  kiss  to  the  top  of  her  head,  “  writing  a  song,  it’s  my  last  one  for  the  album,  but  i’m  having  a  bit  of  trouble  with  it.  ”   he  mumbles,  glancing  at  the  pages  again,  covered  with  circled  and  crossed  out  words,  a  heavily  edited  verse  written  out.   “  i  have  the  sound  in  my  head,  the  words  just  need  to  fit  with  it  right...  ”  he  says,  before  pressing  his  nose  against  her  hair.   “  what  are  you  doing,  mina ?  ”

      closing the flower shop a little early once she had seen him arrive ( there hadn’t been any customers for awhile and surely a few minutes wouldn’t make a difference ), emma rushed out to meet him with a shy smile on her lips. “ hi, sorry – did i make you wait too long..? ”

          there’s  a  puff  of  smoke  on  his  lips,  he  smiles  warmly  when  he  sees  her,  wraps  an  arm  around  her  waist  with  ease.   “  nah,  babe.   s’alright.  ”   he  drawls,  pursing  his  lips  at  her.   “  did  you  have  a  good  day  at  work,  chick?  ”  he’s  happy  to  see  her,  evidenced  by  the  smile  that  tugs  at  the  corners  of  his  lips  every  time  she  catches  his  eyes.

           stretching his neck after such a long and tiring shift, kiyoung couldn’t help but groan lightly before glancing at his wristwatch and looking at the other. “ it’s kinda late but do you wanna get something to eat? or drink, whichever sounds more tempting to you ”

          lennox  looks  up  from  his  phone,  before  smiling,  clearly  a  little  offput.  “  uh-  i  could  text  the  babysitter  to  hold  on  a  bit  longer,  i’m  sure  the  kids  wouldn’t  mind...  ”   he  says,  before  placing  his  hands  in  his  pockets,  “  food  sounds  really  good,  i  haven’t  eaten  since  my  break... ”

           tactless  ,  but  not  idiotic  –                    kuwata coexists with pretence and lets the joke pass him by. were this a day in a classroom, he would snicker, sharpen his tongue on a quip that would no doubt have mondo bellowing ; for now, he sheaths his weapon and uses his knee to adjust his grip on the slab. it’s a short few steps before they can put it down, lean against it and talk. ‘yeah. only plan we got, huh? kirigiri ain’t fuckin’ around with this shit.’ 

          he  shifts  the  slab  with  a  grunt,  continuing  backwards  until  they  get  to  where  it  needs  to  be,  before  huffing  as  he  places  it  down,  tongue  between  his  teeth,  mondo  pinches  his  forehead  between  his  bruised  phalanx.   “  fuckin’  guess  so.   i  dunno,  i’m  just  worried  ‘bout  everyone.   i  know  they  can  hold  their  fuckin’  own,  but...  ”   his  eyes  glaze,  it’s  clear  that  the  blood  he’s  spilled  before  this  time  still  haunts  him,  and  he  doesn’t  want  a  repeat  with  his  friends.   “  just  worried  we  could  lose  someone  t’somethin’ ...  stoppable,  man.  ”

         he’s picking at the new piercing, which he knows you aren’t supposed to do ever, much less when the piercing is done by a classmate with a needle and rubbing alcohol.    but souda’s never been good at following rules like that, and the wound is itchy, and yes, he’s being whiny, he knows.    “    i feel like i don’t even look that much cooler.    not that i need any help with that.    when’s the swelling supposed to go down?    ”     he’s pouting, words drawn out and high - pitched.

          ibuki  is  throwing  her  things  haphazardly  into  her  tattered  backpack,  when  she  whirls  around  to  face  him,  she  smacks  at  his  hand,  “  no!  ”   she  tells  him,  “  ibuki  thinks  the  swelling  won’t  go  down  if  you  keep  pawing  at  it !   how  are  you  supposed  to  impress  your  booooooooyfriend  if  you’ve  got  a  big  swollen  face ?   ibuki  recalls  that  you  promised  not  to  be  whiny  either !  ”   she  says,  scrunching  her  nose,  before  spinning  one  of  her  own  recent  piercings,  following  it’s  path  by  turning  a  circle  in  the  room.   “  ehh,  put  an  ice  pack  on  it,  it’ll  be  a  while !   if  kazuichi  keeps  it  cleeeeeaaaaan  and  doesn’t  poke  it  with  his  gross  dirty  hands,  it’ll  heal  faster !  ”

          ‘  so  you  admit  it  ,  ’         this comes accusatory, despite the quiet smile. ‘you are seeing tanaka gundham.’ this gentle tease is punctuated by a thin wafer pointed in her direction. ‘well, when he sacrifices you to his blood gods and turns your ballgowns into hamster bedding, don’t say i didn’t warn you. novoselic may be onto something…’ he doesn’t understand her sentiments, and nor does he wish to pretend to do so. ‘seems to me like they’re preoccupied with the smaller stuff, as it were. how amusing, that they can afford to waste their time on such things.’ 

          she  blushes,  a  delicate  pink  across  her  cheeks,  before  she  laughs  shyly.   “  for-  he  simply  walks  me  to  class  every  day,  and  on  occasion,  we  are  company  for  each  other.   that  doesn’t  mean  everything,  you  just  like  to  stir  up  drama.  ”   she  mimics  his  gesture,  pointing  her  own  food  back  at  him,  eyes  shining.   “  they  are  only  preoccupied  because  the  novoselic  kingdom  is  rooted  in  tradition,  and  they  believe  that  i  am  going  to  ruin  all  of  that,  but  if  i  was  someone  who  ruined  countries,  i  would  not  be  attending  this  school,  would  i ?  ”

         he scoffs, shaking his head.     fuyuhiko is very used to the types of gangs that try to challenge his own  –  his family could demolish all of them with a single command.    it’s only generosity and economics that allow these lesser criminals to continue existing.     fuyuhiko understands the importance of these relationships, though, and so he meets mondo’s eyes and nods as though they’re equals.     business isn’t the same thing as friendship, and he hopes no one misconstrues the gesture.    “   i’d like to see them try.    they’ll be dead before they get within ten feet of me.    ”

          his  arms  fold  across  his  broad  chest,  some  show  of  dominance  to  make  himself  feel  better,  to  feel  stronger.   “  you’ve  got  pekoyama  watchin’  your  back  too,  so  you’re  fuckin’  safe  as  hell,  two  of  you  against  a  rezzie ? ”  he  blows  upwards,  ruffles  the  stray  hair  at  his  forehead.   “  be  one  hell  of  a  show.  you  guys  are  dangerous  as  hell.  ”   mondo  knows  when  he’s  outmatched,  and  the  kuzuryuu  gang  outnumber  his  men  forty plus-to-one.   it  sparks  a  jealousy,  to  see  fuyuhiko  accepted  by  his  gang,  while  he  worked  endlessly  to  provide  for  his  skeptical  diamonds,  despite  his  blood  being  that  of  his  brothers.  (  and  how  it  covers  his  hands !  )  fuyuhiko  seemed  to  just...  be  accepted,  despite  everything.

      “     okay, only i can say parasite.     ”     and he can barely even get away with it  –  venom stirs at the word, and he hastens to correct himself.    “    only me.    call him a symbiote.    or don’t talk about him at all.    gets all loud and attention-seeky when people start asking questions.     ”     he speaks like he’s describing a particularly troublesome pet.    he keeps that thought quiet, though.

          he  blinks  a  little  foolishly,  before  offering  a  nervous  smile,  hugging  his  backpack  closer  to  his  chest.   miles  has  to  admit-  as  a  massive  nerd -  having  a  symbiote - thing  living  inside  you  while  you  were  also  conscious...  it  was  really  interesting!   he  was  sure  his  dad  would  probably  have  a  lot  to  say,  but...  “  a  symbiote.  ”   he  repeats  obediently,  before  squeezing  his  backpack.   “  i  just  think  it’s  really  cool-   y-..y’know,  compared  to  a  spider  bite,  and  i  thought  the  spider  bite  was  cool  eventually,  but  you’re  co - existing  with  another  creature  in  one  body,  it’s  scientifically  phenomenal !   it’s  like-  uh,  i  don’t  know,  the  walking  dead,  how  people  sometimes  think  the  zombies  still  have  human  consciousness-  uh...  ”  he  pauses,  maybe  a  little  more  tact  was  in  order.   “  not  that  you’re  a  zombie  or  anything,  i’m  just  saying,  having  two  existences  in  one  physical  form ?   that’s  crazy ! ”
