Astral Destruction

[ Clementine and Mae appear on the screen. It’s a little girl and a cat girl. They’re standing in a room on the first floor. Clem has a crowbar in her hand, slung over her shoulder. Mae has her trusty baseball bat and a very cat-that-got-the-canary grin on her face.]

Hey, so… Mae told me about how she breaks shit sometimes and how it’s… cathartic? [ that’s the word she used, right? ] And I tried it with a light bulb. It felt pretty damn awesome so we thought it might be cool to have an official place where people could break stuff whenever they needed to deal with bullshit.

[Mae immediately picks up the thread, grinning wide.]

So we are super effing pleased to introduce…The Destruction Room.

[She pans the camera over to the sign on the door. It’s generic and straight to the point. Then she pans the camera around to take in the room. There’s rows of shelves filled with china plates, vases, glass figurines and other fragile-looking items. Along the walls are dozens of light fixtures and free-standing lamps, as well as just a metric ton of lightbulbs, both fluorescent and incandescent. All of it is very precariously displayed and it looks like it wouldn’t take much to just knock some of these shelves right over.]

Isn’t it amazing? We stocked it with everything that could possibly go smash.

[Clementine gestures then to have Mae pan the camera toward the wall on the side which has a giant weapon rack with every blunt weapon imaginable from bats to maces to hammers and more. ]

Over on this wall, we’ve got every blunt weapon you can think of so you can really make the breakables crack into a hundred awesome pieces. Also, it’s on the first floor, room 4 so if you hit yourself in the foot or get glass stuck in your arm or something, the clinic’s right next door.

Yeah, we pretty much thought of everything. Because we’re awesome.

[Mae holds out her hand to Clementine for a high-five. Clementine leans over, high fiving her back, with a smile. Totally awesome. ]

Anyway, yeah, come on down and get your smash on. Work out some of that pre-event anxiety or whatever.

Why keep drinking it if it's not good? Just for the feeling?

[He gets that.]
shorthair: (shiver the whole night through)

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-06 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, for the feeling.

It kind of numbs stuff, which is dangerous if things are dangerous. You want to be alert, and it's impossible to when you're drinking.
noreason: (I have zero romance feelings for you)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-06 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods slowly.]

Not to sound judgemental, but you're pretty young to drink, right?

shorthair: and turn us into stones (time will take us all)

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-07 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm eleven so yeah. Pretty young.

You know the last event with the walkers? That's my world. Drinking's hardly the worst thing I've done.
noreason: (Baby I feel bad for feeling bad)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-07 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He makes a sympathetic sound.]

I can see why you might want to take the edge off.

( Clementine winces apologetically. She presses her fingertips to her neck with a wince. She never wanted- never wanted to reveal so much of herself. )

Yeah. I'm okay. There's just a lot of shit going on. ( She shakes her head. )
noreason: (Is this the depth of your heart?)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-07 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Same for me at home. Different stuff, but a lot going on.
shorthair: of well traveled roads (her face is a map)

video;

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-07 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of a lot?

You don't have to say if you don't want to, but. I'll listen. I get it.
noreason: (Too late for second-guessing)

video;

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-08 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
No it's fine. It's just going to sound kind of crazy.

The world ended and I turned into a demon, and now I'm trying to put the world like it used to be.

...holy shit.
shorthair: in a world you've grown (you're on your own)

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-11 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I believe you. I just didn't- ( expect that. )

Do you... like being a demon?
noreason: (Nothing up above but darkness)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-11 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it.

[He thinks, given his appearance, it's easy to believe him. But it's still a pretty shocking thing to say.]

I like it alright. I kind of miss being human, but in some ways it's not that different.
shorthair: (with whatever brew you're drinking)

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-14 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
( She's never heard of a demon before, but Wonderland has helped her getting used to so many different types of people. )

Yeah? That's good that it's not that different at least in some ways. Can you like do cool super powered stuff as a demon?
noreason: (You can stand under my umbrella)

video;

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-15 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I can! It's mostly pretty destructive, but I can heal, too.
shorthair: it's a long way down (hold my head)

video;

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-17 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Woah. Both of those things are really awesome. None of that even exists in my world. I mean, like powers either destructive or healing.
noreason: (She is wound like an angry watch)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-18 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
What does exist in your world?

[He's found that, in general, everyone's got something out of the ordinary going on.]
shorthair: i've got fire in my soul (rise up like glitter and gold)

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-19 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Walkers-- ...zombies.

The last zombie event that happened with the big horde? That's my world.
noreason: (My heart would be elsewhere)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-19 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Man. Sounds like you could use powers like mine there.

[During the event, his powers hadn't been nearly as strong as they should have been. It was...worrying.]
shorthair: and picks apart the threads (it leaves us with regrets)

video;

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we really could, but there are just people and walkers. No one with powers. People try to- They try to take control and take their own power by force, but-

( It's bullshit. She hates it. )
noreason: (A world betrayed by its faith in God)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-20 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It can't be as easy as that, can it? And even if someone managed it, it'd just make it harder for everyone else.
shorthair: i've got fire in my soul (rise up like glitter and gold)

video;

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-23 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not. Whenever I see it happen, it ends with most people dead anyway, cause people fight back.
noreason: (You thought you were standing beside me)

video;

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
You're alive though.

[So that's something.]
shorthair: i've got fire in my soul (rise up like glitter and gold)

video;

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-25 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I am.

I learned how to survive.
noreason: (Is this the depth of your heart?)

video;

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-25 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
What were you like before that?

[Learning to survive can cause pretty big changes.]

Actually, that's kind of personal. Never mind.
shorthair: (you're cool)

[personal profile] shorthair 2017-08-25 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
( Clementine smirks a little to let him know it's okay. )

I was eight so pretty much your average kid. Went to school, played in a tree house, that kind of stuff.
