     ♰ He couldn't quite say that he was so truly entertained by the happenings in the middle of a discardable city sheltering the forlorn and the damned. It's quite a chore sometimes to travel around and run into a squirmish even though he had wanted [ oh, truly, he had wanted ] to stay undetected for just a few moments longer. It wasn't hard to do away with those that would oppose a force that was not their own to temper with, death being so surely eager - undeniably tremendous powers and speed - to close around feeble and breakable necks with iron claws and slowly, slowly and deliberately snap it.

    ♰ It's a nice little mental image, but why use only but a reasoning play for these instances when corpses litter the ground, screams that had echoed throughout the night, surely drowning themselves out to an ear-shattering nothingness. How quaint to think, that he would have been watched [ and said person watching him would not cower away in fear ], until - perchance - he does recognise the fragile shadows of a soul passed by once, twice [ too many times in a life as short and discardable as this one, too many times to count ] eagerly watching the display of death and carnage, underlined with the crash of a body hitting trash disposal off to the side.

    ♰ And in all of it: he looks so - like a doll covered and smeared with faint traces of beautifully blossoming red [ and here and there, one might want to hear a heartbeat clinging to him desperately ]. " Ah~ Miss Davis. It has been quite a while~ " As if he would forget any and all he had passed by. " Excuse my attire, I will get changed at once~ " But alas - but stop right here. " Nevertheless, you seem impatient to find out what I did this time - why may that be? Do you not see that I am not in the mood to play anymore~? "          || @uccisore ♡~

     ♰ " Have you not been told to stay and rest for a little bit longer~? " What a rambunctious child, wandering about when death himself could still reach with sharpened blade's edge for that slender throat to cut it open and end so swiftly what had barely hung on. He's speaking these words with a telling little thrill to his voice, meaning more than only halting the Shinigami in his steps now that he had found footing and would try to wander about and - barely as it is - perhaps escape from this place of rest.

    ♰ How troublesome that he had agreed to take in someone that should have perished with a war the mortician himself had no interest in [ but every once in a while, his attention would be piqued by these small intricacies of forcefully repulsing the end ]. So he stands and waits, with the tilt of his head a little forward, angling a little to the side: this man would be in danger when he only left the secluded sanctity of a quietened down morgue.

    ♰ [ Maybe he should lay six feet under--- ].

    ♰ " Or are you sure so restless to try and wind yourself out from under my care? How ungrateful, indeed~ " Not an ounce of care in the world, words were all but a puppet's string of learned notes and sounds. " Chaining you down was nothing I had in mind for these few days I will house you here~ "          || @almighty-shunned ♡~

     ♰ " Ah~ It has been quite a while, now has it not~? " As there is only so much time he considers wasted in a life that was endless and full of changes that drawl on like nothing but the fine drops of rain trying to cave in the unmoving stone. For humanity, their own accomplishments appear like a whirlwind in the speed of light. For himself? A being that has seen the shifts and could feel them moving even now, with the fine whispers of ghosts long gone, still clinging willfully to this afterlife? It was like watching ants on their neverending path back and forth towards their nest, serving and praying for their Queen.

    ♰ And because of that, it was sure so rare that someone would come by. Someone would catch his fancy. Would make the mortician consider else but to tear apart and hold in palm that measle rest of someone's sanity---

    ♰ ---" I have wondered how you had been~ The time does sure fly by so quickly. " Like in a puppeteer's play of pretend, slowly tugging on the fine strings when he all but raises a hand to move and wave monumental form a little bit closer. A bit nearer, now that all had died down to nothingness and its screaming endeavour would shatter eardrums to devour one whole. " Come on, do not be shy~ I have minutes to offer you if you desire~ "          || @schisming ♡~

     ♰ There's something undeniably tempting of having his own partner accompany him towards the depths of the underground, rotten and churning, the very essence of everything inside to be a disgusting amalgamation of pigs and cattle - ready for the slaughterhouse. It had been delightful enough to engage with those that saw themselves [ partially, at least ] far above mankind. In selling them out for desirable prices, only enhanced once the mortician had made his deals with this or that one and offered priceless feast in exchange for tidbits to experiment on.

    ♰ And for today? He would take his husband along. Striking though, they both truly were. Striking enough to draw eyes to black and white and the obscuring masks worn created by one of the maneaters own kind. " Interesting, no~? They sell humans and half-ghouls here alike. " Himself? He wasn't even remotely interested in any of the ‘goods’ - only ever set foot inside the theatre when that work associate of his would call for it. He knows very well that the female ghoul would be one to have crates moved and 'items' brought towards the stage-light.

    ♰ So why were they here?

    ♰ The expectation of an attack. And it had been far too hilarious to not engage in this very quarrel here and there. How powerless they truly were. " Come on, darling~ Let's watch the show for a while. " For the Alchemist knew well enough, the auction in itself was nothing to even ponder about. " Whatever they present here, maybe we will recognise one - or two~ "          || @bloodlicked ♡~
