all fall down

Nico Damen, 22, blind as a bat, but I can't fly

Lily rolled her eye to the ceiling. Why? Why did it have to be Nico of all people? Why did to have to be the fucking blind annoying asshole to appear in front of her. Fucking Life. She grabbed at the block of wood, biting at the hilt of the dagger. Her teeth and jaw protested as she yanked of the weapon that was stubbornly lodged in the wood. She spit out the dagger and tossed the block next to his head. Admiring as it made a resounding wack against the wall. Shit could see but he sure as hell should of been able to see, if not feel, that.

Nico ducked out of instinct when he heard something hit the wall. “Shit, do you mind? I mean come on, I’m blind here. It’s super rude to just throw shit at people, especially blind people!” He protested, hands waving in the air. “And here I was checking to see how you were doing and stuff. Heard you were in the explosion and all, and I thought I’d see if you needed help or something.”

“It was definitely lacking a certain taste while you were gone,” She listened to the radio at work - wasn’t much else to do most days.

“Of course it was, my taste is impeccable. I’m the best DJ up there because of that. The rest just have awful taste.”

Odie pursed her lips and sighed softly, putting the gun down, “I don’t usually use guns, melee weapons are more up my ally…” she admitted. The brunette’d realised that the guy was blind “I put the gun down…” she informed him.

“Well, that’s nice for me. I think I’d rather be hit in the back of the head than shot, I think.” He mused, then shrugged. “Well, that’s nice of you. I mean, it really doesn’t affect me much, but I bet your arm was getting tired.”

“Yeah, that’s must kinda suck. Not- never mind. I gotta come up with something else but I don’t think I’m that smart to make a successful business plan.”

“Nah, it’s fun. I mean, I think it is at least. Well, I wish you luck, man. I don’t think I could either.”

“Well, maybe I’ll look into the church myself. I wouldn’t mind having a place to serve around here.”

“I’m sure people would appreciate it.”

“Who’s there? Show yourself.”

“It’s, uh, just innocent little me. I’m assuming you’ve got a gun on me, and honestly, I’m probably not worth the bullet. Be cheaper to use a knife or something. Not that you should kill me, though.”

[nicoxdamen]

seanmaddox:

“I mean I try not to but I do and usually it’s not fun so it’s kinda worse. I don’t think I’m that bad though, that I could put my life a risk. Exactly, I would end up with zero profit.”

“Yeah, I think it’s ingrained in me at this point. Plus, it helps when you can see the stupid thing you’re doing. All right, so skateboards are a poor business decision.”

[nicoxdamen]

seanmaddox:

“I kinda miss doing stupid things like that, know I just do different not so fun stupid things. Never really thought about it like that although if it was little kids trying to buy them I’d probably cave and give them away.”

“Weird, because I do stupid stuff like that all the time. Like. All the time. I honestly don’t know why I’m still alive. Good point though, it would be hard.”

[nicoxdamen]

ozsmith:

“Really? So there’s no pastor for the church here?”

“No, not right now. I think he left or got killed or something.”

[nicoxdamen]

seanmaddox:

“I know right? Dude, I broke my arm going down that hill when I was a kid. Hill was killer. Yeah, it’s about the only thing I can do but it’s something.”

“I almost did, but I survived the encounter. Hey, it’s super awesome though! Sell those puppies, and you can make a lot.”

[nicoxdamen]

brokenbitteralice:

“Yeah, you were safe from all the crap going on in here, that’s for sure.” She sighed. Alice smiled slightly, “Glad to see my favourite radio guy back safe and sound, though.” 

“Exactly, that’s always nice.” Nico agreed, then grinned. “Well, I had to get back to make sure someone’s playing some decent music, right?”

[nicoxdamen]

ozsmith:

“Fair enough. I assume you’ve been raised going to a church?”

“Yeah, Ma pretty much took us whenever. I mean, I didn’t really mind, it was whenever a preacher was in town. I’m sure she’ll love having you around.”

[nicoxdamen]

seanmaddox:

“That hill near the north side? My skateboard was pretty shitty when I was a kid but I can actually make them now.”

“Yeah, that’s the one! Man, we went way to fast down that hill. Surprising we didn’t get hurt more. That’s pretty great though, be fun to actually make my own that won’t fall apart.”

[nicoxdamen]

“I guess it sounds cheesy, doesn’t it? Well, it is surprising how it’s not actually completely life-sucking.”

“Nope, just sounds like everything I’ve heard before, honestly.”

[nicoxdamen]

“It often does, yes. But it’s well rewarding.”

“Right, God, and souls and things.”

Grant nodded and fiddled with his thumbs, forgetting Nico couldn’t actually see him. Reaching out for the bottle pointed towards him, he offered him a soft smile as he took it, instantly bringing it up to his lips. “I’m not a Siren, wasn’t in the building - but I know people that fall in both categories. Nothing fatal, my friend is in hiding, just hard to feel normal about everything, I guess?” Grant drummed his fingers on the bottle, taking another swig before passing it back.

“Yup. I know, man.” Nico nodded, taking the bottle back and taking a long drink himself. He’d had people, family, in both camps, and it was blowing up now. “Home is kind of a war zone at the moment, actually. Figured it was better to get out of there.” Another drink and he offered it to the other man again.

[nicoxdamen]

“Guilty.”

“Seems thankless in the best of times, but I guess if you love it and all.”
