Yeah…did you want kids, back in the city?

Maybe some day, but I always thought I was too young. Never really thought about it. What about you?

deadvengeance

Well…you have a real big family now. It’s really nice, isn’t it?

Yeah. I like it. Like my life lead up to this, and everything before was just filler.

deadvengeance

Yeah…I’ve heard a lot of the same from Petrichor…//Trails off, sighing// Did you leave anyone behind? A sibling? A lover? …a child?

No. She was all I had. //traces the tattoo over her eyebrow -- Mama in black script// I had some friends but no one that’d miss me. I bet they see my face on TV and don’t even know that it’s me.

deadvengeance

Wow…I’m so sorry to hear that Grim, it sounds devastating. Why’d you finally end up leaving?

Because’ve Des, and Petrichor was going too. I didn’t wanna be there without them. Not stuck with Dreamkiller.

What was it like for you before? You know…before the desert.

Sad. I lived with my mom my whole life, because she was sick and Dad wasn’t around. Eventually she’d see me and not know who I was, wouldn’t recognise me. I’d say, y’know, ‘Mom, it’s me, your daughter’, and then she’d get upset, because she couldn’t remember me. Thought she was thirty-two years old most’ve the time. It got so I’d just let her believe it. I mean, imagine, someone telling you you’re fifty right now. Like you blinked and twenty years passed by.

A few years before I bailed, she died. We didn’t have a lot of money and they offered us this treatment for her, this medication they were trialing. It was free because they wanted to see if it’d work or not. I mean, me, they offered it to. She wouldn’t have known what they were saying.

I said, yeah, let’s try it. I thought it was gonna be alright but it wasn’t. At first she just got all hazy, y’know, tired and lethargic, hardly ever knowing where she was. She lost weight, too, ‘cause she never wanted to eat. I wasn’t gonna forcefeed her, not that I didn’t try. She’d spit it back out, get all scared, so I stopped.

I went by the hospital and talked to one of the doctors who dealt with us, told him it wasn’t working out and asked if we could stop giving it to her. He said that wasn’t allowed, because we signed into some contract. Over the next few weeks she got worse. Looked real old and skinny, and never got any better. It was almost a year she lasted on that stuff before it killed her.

deadvengeance

Yeah, I am. //Bites his lip, crouches down next to her// Do you mind if I ask you something personal?

//rolls over onto her stomach, arms folded under her chin// No. Shoot.

deadvengeance

Was just thinking I guess…can I talk to you a bit?

Yeah, I can’t get tired. Are you okay?

Yeah. Why’re you?

Six years ago! Are you kidding?! He was lit-er-al-ly dying, as I found him – six years ago!

deadvengeance

Can you both just settle down please?

itendswithrain

Yeah, yeah. We should only help people who are literally on their death bed! Fuck all the people who got fuckin tossed out here with no fuckin clue how to survive. If they’re not dying RIGHT NOW, then we don’t want anything to do with them. I can’t fucking believe this Desperado. What’s your problem with him!? Him specifically. We’ve had drug addicts before! It takes time! You never had a problem with it before! I was a fucking addict! Vengeance had to kick that shit too! You’ve dealt with fuckin annoying people before, but they were given time to adjust! So why him!?

Hey, no-- //pushes Des back down by his shoulders and chest when he looks like he’s going to stand, grabbing his knife from his belt prematurely and holding it away from him// --nope. No. Enough. Alright? Both of you, enough.

A drac who was dumped out here to die, not some fuckin’ brat who’s pinned half the time, like it in’t obvious! Some spoiled little rich kid, just ‘cause you’ve got a stupid crush on him–

itendswithrain

Cru– Desperado what are you talking about! I don’t have a cru– What are we, twelve!? Yeah, we had something in the city, we fucked! Is that what you want to hear!? We fucked a lot and I liked him. That was ten years ago! Who cares! You wanna fuck like everyone you come in contact with anyway!

Alright, enough--

See, that’s why we need you on our team.

//hits Vengeance’s waist, not hard enough to hurt, but enough to say shut up// You’re the one who’s eavesdroppin’, actin’ like you’re asleep.

Whatever. //gets up, putting on her glasses, and walks over to sit on the side of Vengeance’s bed, folding back her sleeves to free her wrists// ...You stay outside all night? It is broken. His ankle.

We’re not talking shit. We’re trying to get to the bottom of something. We’re being detectives. You’re observational, you should come help us.

And if they’re awake and can hear you? Stop being so stupid. //sits up, crossing her legs and looking around on the floor for her glasses//

#deadvengeance #desperadoundead

desperadoundead

Yeah, sleeping. How long’ve you been awake?

The whole time. Stop involving me in this, go outside if you’re gonna talk shit about people.

#desperadoundead #deadvengeance

desperadoundead

I guess I wun’t know since I don’t understand shit about it. //sits back up, rubs at his eyes. pulls on a hole in the hem of Vengeance’s shirt// I don’t care what it is, I just want ‘em to stop.

deadvengeance

Do you want me to tell Petrichor? I’m sure he would if someone just told him to. I can try and find some information.

Guys. They’re twenty feet away from you.
