The Dethroned King

What is one to do when you wake up after a hundred years of rest only to find that your throne has been taken by your most trusted advisor, and then they refuse to give it back? Easy - show them what a king is to a god. ((Independent RP blog for Higaqut, a god of fear and anger. I will RP with anybody in any fandom, and even people who aren't in fandoms.))

"Revenge huh?" Emily asked  in thought, a smirk forming on her face… Oh there were tons of things she could think of. "Depends on how cruel you want to be… We can change his coloring like I’ve done before, or I have another one that I’ve yet to use, but found out by accident, that makes a person puke out their guts… But oddly enough it makes the vomit a bright red color… I had almost thought I was puking up blood… But that might be a little harsh." She said, it was the cruelest joke to pull that she could think of at the moment…

[graspinghotcoal]

Oh, and how he liked the look of that smirk before she even opened her mouth. He'd had the same smirk on his face many times since his creation, so he knew all too well what it meant. And he, too, found himself smirking.

"Let's just say, I want him to suffer, but he can't die. What he did to me was unforgivable, but I'd have to do it this way. Physical violence wouldn't be tolerated, and I'd 'dig myself a deeper hole', as it were, if I just beat him to a pulp." He explained, trying to keep it vague, then something occurred to him and he had to add, "Oh, and, best not to ask what he did. It'll just get too complex, too long-winded."

Emily grinned, it’d been awhile since she’d pulled one two… Maybe a month or so… Though the ones that involved using stuff from her lab were only done when provoked because of the length they would last. “Well, if you ever need any help. Feel free to ask my friend.” She said with a light laugh. Pranks were always better when there was more than one person in on it and she was always happy to help.

[graspinghotcoal]

Meanwhile, it'd been about 100 years for Harry, but he kept that to himself. He didn't like to out himself, especially in front of people he'd just met. Hell, he didn't even tell his old more-than-friend, the one with the rat, what he actually was until a few weeks before the guy went and died.

"Actually, I think I will need some help. I have no idea what kind of prank to pull on him. Basically, I want revenge for something he did to me, so it wouldn't matter how cruel it was. Do you have any ideas?" He asked, almost hopeful though he tried not to get his hopes up. Some pranksters preferred lighthearted pranks in which nobody could get hurt, after all.

Emily laughed lightly, that was a pretty good one too! “I don’t think I’ve ever done something like that…” She said, thinking about some of the pranks she’d pulled. “There was this one time that I got the help of a few friends and we filled this one girls bedroom with marshmallows… When she opened the door they all fell on top of her… She wasn’t that mad either… But that was more of because she really loved marshmallows.” She said with a small laugh. “Have you ever done the trick where you cover someones things with wrapping paper?” She questioned, that was a pretty good one, but really time consuming. 

[graspinghotcoal]

Harry could imagine that, really, and he had to admit that it sounded really fun to set up, and witness. He may have to do something similar, maybe with something not as soft as marshmallows, though.

Though, wrapping paper? He shook his head, "I haven't. I may have to, though, if I get some free time. Or if I had some help." He had the perfect target in mind, after all, and there'd probably be plenty of his followers who would love to help him out. If they would dare, that is.

"I haven't pulled a good prank in so long, though. I need to get back into the swing of things."

She paused to look at those flowers, almost not listening to his whole thing on the cigarettes, before she quickly spun to face him, smiling with a small nod.

"They’re quite a rich purple colour, the uhm.." she figured the darker the colour, the greyer they were? " the dark grey ones are the dark purple ones, and all the rest are really rich scarlets , pinks and oranges"

She couldn’t imagine having colour blindness, she wasn’t sure how she’d deal if she suddenly found herself in a world of grey…

"What would you like me to order in there by the way, Harry?"

[graspinghotcoal]

Purple, right, and red, pink and orange. He liked the red one - or, rather, the shade of grey he associated with it, "Right, right. That makes sense. I bet they're really pretty." He smiled, not seeming to be too upset about the fact that he couldn't see colour. Maybe because it'd always been that way, and he didn't know any different.

A smirk crossed his features, however, and he pushed his hand into his pocket, leaving the other free to move as he spoke, making him that bit more animated.

"Well, you can order whatever you want. I, on the other hand, will probably just get some tea, maybe see what pastries they have. I have a bit of a sweet tooth."

"You told him they had the plague and he believed you?" She asked with a laugh… That guy must not have been the sharpest tool in the tool shed. "That’s awesome…" She said letting out a calming breath. "Let’s see… What else is there…" She said to herself trying to think of other things she’s pulled. "Thinking back to your shampoo one… I made this stuff and put in my brother’s shampoo… His hair was pink for a month! Mostly because I wouldn’t tell him how I did it and he kept using the same shampoo… So even trying to dye it didn’t help." She said, enjoying the conversation, it wasn’t everyday she just sat with someone and talked about the pranks she’s pulled.

[graspinghotcoal]

"Of course!" Though, it was around the time of the plague, so the guy could't really be blamed for his reaction. Not that Harry would reveal that, that is.

"That sounds great, actually. Wow. I never would've thought of that. Well, not that I could. I'm no scientist and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between pink and green." He snickered, his laughter dying down as he wiped at his eyes.

"I remember, one time, I was left to babysit a friend's kid and I actually, with the kid's help, nailed a plank of wood to one of the steps on the staircase so when her dad stumbled in drunk from the tavern, since there was a party he attended that night, he didn't realise and ended up falling up the stairs. His daughter was about fourteen at the time and we had a good laugh at his expense. He wasn't even mad, he just got up and went to bed. He was too drunk to realise what we'd done until the next day."

Emily laughed lightly hearing about the pranks he’d pulled. “Those are pretty good…I especially like the horse one.” She said and then looked up in thought.  ”Well, Like I said I use this one chemical to turn people’s skin different colors… I had this one guy turned green for about a week!” She said smiling at the memory… “Of course, I had to trick him into drinking it first… But that wasn’t the hard part… It was more of getting away from him afterward.” She said, running from people like that was the only reason she was in shape really… “But just recently I let loose a bunch of ordinary mice into a guys house and told him that they were my lab rats…” She began to snicker. “You should’ve seen the look on his face! It was like…” She said, mimicking the look of horror the person had had on their face before she started laughing again. 

[graspinghotcoal]

Upon hearing of her pranks, however, he couldn't stop himself form laughing. They sounded so fun. Not even his followers could've come up with something like that. Still, he managed to calm himself down as something she'd said, apparently, triggered a memory of his own.

"I did something similar, but instead of releasing mice and saying they were lab mice, I release a few normal rats and said that they were plague rats. He had the exact same reaction as you're trying to mimic there." He said, starting to laugh all over again. This was fun - recalling pranks he'd pulled in his time. Of course, many of them were outdated but may still be recreated today under the right circumstances.

She couldn’t really differentiate any different ingredients in the brands, she could only really scent out certain, flavors, or herbal scents. She looked back as Seb continued to walk alongside her. A polite smoker for once hm?

"Yeah, well I appreciate that, I hate when i’m sat in the park and some butt’ll sit beside me, smoke and blow it all in my eyes, s’orrible" she shuddered, gradually ending up a few meters away from the little cafe, with an outdoor seating, covered in potted flowers

"There’s that place there! S’really nice huh?"

[graspinghotcoal]

Harry smiled, finishing off his cigarette and putting it out against the top of the nearest bin before flicking the stub into the bin itself. He then moved to walk beside her instead, "Ugh. I hate that." He shook his head, "I always ask first, then make sure to keep the smoke away from whoever I'm with." It was just to be polite. Not even around the time when women were of a lower social standing did he feel it right to smoke in front of anybody without permission.

His eyes were slowly drawn to the flowers, however, and he took a moment to just look at the different shades of grey that he could see. It was nice, to think about how much life and colour could probably be seen in this little town.

"It is." He agreed, "What colours are those flowers, by the way?"

The the late night air was getting humid. Morgan stopped for a moment and stuck the cigarette in her mouth before she slid off her black jacket and tied it around her waist.

"…I’m afraid that’s none of your concern," she answered in an irritated tone before taking a drag from her cigarette.

[graspinghotcoal]

Harry gave a grin, the cigarette between his teeth, before he allowed it to drop into a smile instead, "I understand. I don't like talking about my job either." He said, slipping off his own jacket and holding it over one shoulder, leaving one hand free to take the cigarette from his mouth to blow smoke from between his lips.

"No worries."

Emily frowned, wanting to tell him her sympathies… But his change to be smiling again made her think he wanted to just change the subject. “I uh…” She said, trying to think of something that would be a happier subject. “I’m sure I would’ve liked to meet him too…I’m sorry…” She said under her breath, unable to let it go without saying at least that, before she looked around her lab again… “How about you tell me about some of the pranks you’ve pulled? You said you’re a prankster right? I’m always up for getting some new ideas.” She suggested, thinking that happier memories would cheer him up.

[graspinghotcoal]

Indeed, he did just want to change the subject. He didn't like to talk too much about his old friend, mainly because it made him think about the past and the time and fun they'd had together when Harry preferred to live in the moment nowadays.

"Pranks? Oh, my, some of mine might be a bit outdated now but I remember one I pulled a few years ago. I knew a guy who owned a horse, who was also a fan of pranks just like myself. So, one day, whilst he was out, I stole the horse, sneaked it into his house, dressed it in his hat and bowtie and left it in his bedroom. Needless to say, he wasn't too pleased." He gave a soft chuckle at the memory, "But a more recent one would be... I'd put jelly in their bottle of shampoo. Their hair smelled of strawberry for about a week after that. That was fun. What about you?"

[sorryiblewupthelab-blog]

"They say that yeah…" Emily said with a light smile as she watched the mouse in his hand. "I wish they’d be that well behaved… These little things like to try and escape all the time…" She sighed, rubbing the back of her head and looking to the cage. She couldn’t count the times they’d gotten out and she had a small panic attack because she thought they’d go out and either breed with other mice or infect people. She could only imagine the trouble she’d be in if that happened. "Anyway… I’m guessing that person was a friend of yours? So you still keep in touch?" She asked, not wanting to dwell on that thought. 

[graspinghotcoal]

Harry gave a soft chuckle, shaking his head, "It's still pretty clever of them to escape their cages." Well, maybe he was a bit biased. He'd always loved rodents of all kinds.

Though, the mention of his old friend, hearing her ask if they were still in touch, had him sighing and biting his lip gently. Truthfully, that guy was more than a friend, but at the time that wasn't too accepted and he wasn't sure how far society had changed, "Ah, no. He's... He's dead now, and has been for a few years. I wish he was still around, though. He would've loved to meet you, and your mice." The god-in-disguise shook the thought from his head and flashed a smile, "But it's okay. No worries."

"I see…" she muttered as she kicked a small rock down the path they were headed and exhaled some smoke, "…I’m just heading up here for work, which is hardly enjoyable most of the time."

[graspinghotcoal]

"Ah," He started, giving a nod and a puff of smoke from between his lips, "If you don't mind me asking, what is it that you do?" Mainly because the last time he was around on Earth,women tended to stay at home or just work in factories. He hadn't yet caught up, and learned what was now 'normal' compared to back then.

Though, he always did think that humans were all equal, and he almost hoped that they'd realised that themselves during the 100 years he'd been away.

It’d be about fifteen minutes till they got to the cafe she wanted. So that should give him enough time to finish his cigarette, she thought to herself, taking a small line of gum from her pocket as she walked along.

She looked back with a soft smile as he spoke ” Nah don’t apologize, if it’s calming for ya, go ahead” she replied ” i’m glad ya asked instead of blowing smoke in my face, i’v had rude people do that before”

[graspinghotcoal]

By then he would have, indeed, finished but he intended on making it last. The brand he currently had wasn't around anymore. Or, rather, they didn't make them the same as they used to. So, he took deep breaths and slow exhales, just trying to calm himself down in the process.

When she looked back, he took the cigarette out of his mouth in order to reply with a faint smile on his lips instead, "It's fine. I mean, I may like a smoke every now and again but it's only polite to ask, after all. And not blow the smoke in somebody's face, especially if they don't smoke themselves."

[sorryiblewupthelab-blog]

Emily hesitated to hand him one of the mice… She had quite a few antidotes and stuff to keep someone from feeling the full effects of the toxins that were in the mice, the toxins tainting their saliva now, but she’d seen someone be bitten before, not to mention she was bitten once herself, and it’ll still make them pretty sick. She reached into the cage and pulled out one of the smaller ones. “Don’t bite him…” She said to it, though she knew that it didn’t understand her… She just hoped that it wouldn’t bite… The last thing she needed was her guest getting sick. “This one tends to be more mild mannered than the others…” She stated, handing him the small mouse.

[graspinghotcoal]

EVen if he'd gotten bitten, and even if he was using a human body, he doubted that the effects would be too bad. He still had a great immune system, after all, and even if his body could die, he wouldn't.

Still, he couldn't help but smile when he saw her talking to the mouse like that, and happily took it in his hands. He moved his hands with the mouse so that it didn't drop, and made sure to keep an eye on it.

"Thank you. And that's pretty sweet..." He trailed off, seeming to remember something, then gave a sad smile, "I used to know a guy who had a pet rat. It was such a well behaved little thing, always sat up on his shoulders, always did what it was told. Don't they say that rats are actually quite intelligent?"

She nodded, then turned on her heel and began to walk in the direction of the town. Morgan felt strange around this man, but she just couldn’t put her finger on why.

"So, what brings you all the way out here so late at night?" The silver-haired girl asked, curious.

[graspinghotcoal]

It took him a moment to notice that she'd turned but he soon followed suit, moving to follow her in that direction instead.

"Oh, I just got lost. I thought I remembered the way but I've been away for so many years and so much has changed since last I was here." Well, he wasn't lying.

"I have a friend who lives there who doesn't know that I'm going to show up - I'm going to surprise them."

[graspinghotcoal]

She loved this smell, it was the smell of home to her. Her feet made soft clicks over the cobbled street as she walked a little ahead, before looking back to him. Was he possibly short sighted or something? She didn’t feel that it would be polite to ask, so she simply nodded, before shaking her head

"No I don’t mind, i’ll just walk a little ahead so it don’t waft at me" she replied, always wondering how mortals could taint their lungs with such a disgusting thing.

[graspinghotcoal]

The deity hummed to himself, electing to forget about his worries for now, and followed her as best he could, "Ah, thank you." He nodded, then took out a small silver case with writing on the back of it from his pocket and flicked it open. He'd had the cigarette case for a while now and he just couldn't let go of it. It was too special to him. So, even though cigarette cases had probably gone out of fashion by now, he wouldn't leave his bedroom without it.

Without hesitation, he took one out and placed it between his lips before closing the case and putting it back into his pocket. He then took a lighter out instead and held the flame to the end of the cigarette until it lit.

"Sorry," Harry started after letting a puff of smoke pass his lips, "I've just had kind of a stressful day."

[graspinghotcoal]

"You as well, Harry," she replied with a slight nod as she took the lighter from him. The silver-haired girl flicked it on and lit her cigarette before sticking it in her mouth and handing it back to him

"Shall we be off then?"

[graspinghotcoal]

Another drag, another puff of smoke from his nostrils, and he took the lighter back to push it into his pocket once more, beside the cigarette case.

"Lead the way." He stated, taking the cigarette out of his mouth to speak before putting it back between his lips. He seemed to be a bit more relaxed, less frantic than before. Maybe it was the smoke, maybe it was the fact that he had a guide now and that it wouldn't be too long before he was at the town and could go about his business there. He was sure that a follower or two of his lived there, and he just wanted to check up on them, really.

"I"m sure you’d be able to at least understand a bit of what I say." Emily said with a small laugh, and another prankster? Oh that was awesome! "If you ever need and or want to turn someone purple or whatever other color you want feel free to come to me and I can hook you up!" She said and then looked around, there had to be other stuff to show him… Oh right! The lab mice! Emily’s eyes laid on the small cage filled with what were once normal mice, their fur remained white, but their feet and tails had become a purplish blue due to the testing. "These are my lab mice, you can hold one if you want… Just don’t let it bite you." She said as the mice sniffed the air, sensing the new person. 

[graspinghotcoal]

Harry didn't protest. He couldn't have protested that without having to reveal himself and whilst it would've been ever so fun to see her reaction to the realisation that she was standing in a room with a god, he couldn't. Better safe than sorry, right?

"Oh, sure. I'll keep you in mind if ever I need to. I have some friends that'll just love that." He smiled. Well, they were more like followers than friends, but she didn't need to know that.

Dark eyes were drawn to the mice when they were pointed out, and he just looked at them for a while. Of course, in his eyes, he didn't see the different colours of the feet and tails, but just saw a darker grey than he usually would when looking at normal white lab mice. Still, he held out one hand in order to hold one, "Okay, I wont, but... Animals don't tend to like me, so don't get too worried if it ends up biting me anyway."
