he had no time for this .

whatever had sullen luther's mood was none of his business . the fight had broken out the night before && five really didn't have the patience to stick around && find out whatever the hell had gotten their panties in a twist this time . there was always something && he didn't have the time nor the patience to deal with it . so he left them to deal with , retreating upstairs to work , alone . he had hoped by morning most of it would have cooled off && he could get on with his shit . but after spotting luther sitting , sulking whilst five was getting breakfast ready , was almost too much to deal with .

so he proposes the solution . ❝ luther , you big lug , i need a strongman - && i need someone who actually thinks like a leader . ❞ he doesn't . actually , his day would go a lot smoother without anyone , but by christ , if he leaves luther here by himself ? that was a police report waiting to happen .

❝ if you come with me right now you can have a whole fuckin' marathon of the ... ❞ five grimaced , forcing himself to repeat the name of the show . ❝ real housewives . heck , you might even get to see the next season . which you won't if you're dead . ❞

there is always going to be some kind of animosity amongst the siblings,    he supposes.    the competitiveness was fostered into them as children    &    everyone's ego is too big to fit in one room.    (    himself,    included.    )    to be entirely honest,    he doesn't even remember what the fight was about this time.    undoubtedly,    someone made some fly away comment    &    within seconds,    everyone was at war with one another,    insults firing from all angles.    there'll be no apologies,    of course.    everyone will just get bored of sulking in isolation,    then they'll all eventually start speaking to one another again,    refusing to address the elephant in the room until the next fight,    where the process will rinse    &    repeat.    it is exhausting.    (    do normal siblings behave like this too?    or is the chaos exclusive to those raised by reginald hargreeves?    ) 

luther can be . . . a gullible idiot at the best of times.    diego    &    five have been known to remind him as such,    repeatedly. that being said,    five's comments begrudgingly capture luther's attention,    a swell of pride blooming in his chest momentarily,    then instantly deflating.    his brother is full of shit,    he knows,    but he can't seem to stop himself from falling for it anyway.    (    what use is self awareness if he's still powerless?    )    gaze drops back to his food,    fork absently chasing a blueberry around the plate as he stalled in an attempt to think of responding with something other than sure,    i'll go.    i'm strong,    i think like a leader.

❛    —    what for?    ❜    he asks,    brows arching as he looked back over at five.    ❛    last time you convinced me to go anywhere with you,    you said i was dumb    &    slow.    there's no doubt in my mind that you will insist on being the leader,    so,    really,    what's the point of me going anywhere with you?    ❜    

luther does not want to be the big,    sensitive bastard that needs a pity invite to feel good about himself . . . anymore.    is a lack of respect better or worse than pity?    does it hurt more to get hit by a car or a truck?    it's gonna suck,    either way,    so what's the point?    he'd rather watch rich housewives rip each other's hair out whilst screaming at one another,    usually on a yacht.

luther is minding his own business,    chowing down on some blueberry pancakes    &    draining his second mug of coffee,    as five blinks around the kitchen.    everyone had erupted into yet another explosive fight the night before,    &    given none of his siblings give a flying fuck about his status as number one,    or hearing anything he has to say in general,    he's decided he's taking the day off.    or retiring.   or whatever adequately describes the fact he's given up    &    is tapping out permanently. 

❛    nope,    ❜    he states,    pouring himself a third cup of coffee,    bringing the mug to his lips to take a sip.    ❛    i'm not helping you with your master plan.    ❜    luther isn't even sure there is a master plan,    but it's five,    his younger older brother always has something up his sleeve.    ❛    go ask literally anyone else to go with you.    i have a date with the real housewives today,    tomorrow    &    probably the day after,    if we're still alive.    ❜

interview with the vampire. (1994.)

"so you want me to tell you the story of my life?" "i'm a collector of lives." "you followed me here, didn't you?" "this is where you live?" "i'm a vampire." "that's something i haven't heard before. you mean this literally?" "i was waiting for you in that alley." "what were you gonna do, kill me, drink my blood, all that stuff?" "you needn't be concerned with that now." "i thought vampires didn't like the light." "i'm flesh & blood, but not human. i haven't been human in two hundred years." "you're not lying to me, are you?" "i couldn't bear the pain of their loss. i longed to be released from it." "you lack the courage of your conviction. do it!" "my invitation was open to anyone, but it was a vampire that accepted." "do you still want death or have you tasted it enough?" "who are you? what are you doing in my house?" "i've come to answer your prayers." "there seems to be no reason for any of it, does there? but what if i could give it back to you? pluck out the pain & give you another life..." "i'm going to give you the choice i never had." "& then i said farewell to sunlight & set out to become what i became." "have you said your goodbyes to the light?" "if i leave you here, you'll die. or... you can be young always, my friend, as we are now. but you must tell me, will you come or go?" "your body's dying. pay no attention, it happens to us all." "what did you see?" "perhaps you'd like another cigarette?" "what about crucifices?" "actually, i'm quite fond of looking at crucifixes." "how about the old stake through the heart thing?" "coffins, unfortunately, are a necessity." "i woke the next evening with a hunger i've never felt." "i will not take their life." "dead, as a doornail, my friend." "it's so easy, you almost feel sorry for them." "you'll get used to the killing." "can't you pretend, you fool? don't give the game away." "such fine crystal shouldn't go to waste." "i'm bored with this prattle." "the trick is not to think about it." "the dark gift is different for each of us." "evildoers are easy & they taste better." "anger. fury. that's why i chose you!" "just remember, life without me would be even more unbearable." "i wasn't given a choice, remember?" "why should i know these things? do you know them?" "forgive me if i have a lingering respect for life." "i'm frightened of myself." "run! you hear me? save yourself!" "oh, perfect! perfect! just burn the place! burn everything we own!" "you thought you could have it all..." "oh, shut up!" "where do you think, my idiot friend? we're in a nice, filthy cemetery. does this make you happy? is this fitting, proper enough?" "we belong in hell." "& what if there is no hell? or they don't want us there, ever think of that?" "you can pretend it's wine." "you resist the one thing that can bring you peace." "well so it is, you must be dead." "let me go. i cannot die like this!" "how you love your precious guilt." "god kills indiscriminately & so shall we." "i have a gift for you. come, please." "you want them to die, then?" "now stop. stop! enough!" "i want some more..." "you must stop before the heart stops." "you fiend." "rats? when did you eat rats?" "what have you done?" "how did you do it?" "why should i tell you?" "be glad i made you what you are. you'd be dead now if i hadn't." "you will never grow old, & you will never die." "tell me how it came to be that i am this... thing." "you... fed on me..." "your very presence irritates me." "you're a liar." "i came to make peace with you. i want things to be as they were." "why do you say such things?" "you haven't fed enough." "i promise to get rid of the bodies." "we forgive each other then?" "one lesson you taught me, never drink from the dead." "they deserved to die." "i did this for us, so we could be free."

               The thing with those Hales is that they could be incredibly vague and cryptic... or they could be extremely literal. And in this moment, Blaez would thank the Mother and her moon that in this moment, Jennifer had made the choice to wax poetic instead of being incredibly literal. Now, there was no denying that she'd done some pretty extreme things in the past and things that Blaez didn't agree with on many levels, but she had decided to rationalise it as an act of survival and while its not something she liked to think about, she knows that all creatures can be driven to all sorts of lengths to survive.

"I know what you're saying is that you've been through a lot and had to do some things... but is there a chance that this could maybe mean that the time for bloodshed is at its end?" She knew it wasn't the best answer to give the other, but who even was Blaez if she didn't at least try to lead with a positive outlook.

what business does she have to mourn the lives she's taken,    souls ripped from bodies,    families torn apart in the name of the gods she'd prayed to?    it is easier to mourn the sacrifices,    than it is to think of the other lives she's taken.    her abusers,    the eugenics - driven freaks that formed the ‘pack’ she'd inherited,    a decade ago,    now.    each face haunts her nonetheless,    and,    of course,    she is fully aware that these consequences are far more lenient than those she should be facing.    (    that does nothing for her conscience,    though.    )

❛    —    in a perfect world,    maybe?    ❜    she says,    though,    mostly to herself.    the world is an absolute shitshow,    and she really doesn't need to remind blaez of that fact,    given everything the other is dealing with these days.    ❛    i haven't taken a life since december twenty twenty - three,    ❜    the brunette continues,    lowering her gaze to study the air bubble twirling around in her coffee mug.    she has to stop herself from elaborating,    informing blaez that she'd killed the man so her son wouldn't have the blood on his hands instead.    (    she'd spent six weeks trying to deter him from his quest for revenge,    and still hasn't decided if she's the pot,    or the kettle.    )    ❛    i'd like to say never again,    but it will,    i will,    when it's needed.    ❜ who is she to decide when it's needed?    she asks herself the question . . . often,    but knows that she could rely on someone else to do the dirty work for her.    the concept of that is cowardly,    and cowardice has no place in leadership.
