Entry 13 [Accidental Video | Daemon Day]

[classywigger]

[Rummy comes into the frame and sits down on his couch, looking not-too-pleased. A small, black snake slides up his leg and coils on his knee, looking up at him.]

You ain't gonna leave, are ya'?

'Fraid not. Y'see, I'm part of ya', Rummy. I'd tell ya' to jump out the window to try and fly to prove this ain't a dream, but that would take me with ya'.

How 'bout if I just toss you out the window so you'll leave me alone?

That don't sit well with me either. 'Cause it goes both ways. Put it simply, if you go, I go, and if I go, you go.

Just what are you sayin' exactly?

A'right, I'm just gonna be blatant, nigga. Basically, I'm your soul.

Thought you said you was a fuckin' demon.

Not what you're thinkin' of, trust me, motherfucker. Ain't even spelled the same. 'Sides, if I was from Hell, don'cha think I'd be a little more intimidatin' than this? Nah, dare say you've had enough'a those.

So, lemme get this straight. You're a part of me, you're called a daemon, which is nothin' like what I had to deal with last month, and if one of us goes the other goes too.

That's the gist of it, yeah.

[The snake notices the light on the device and looks up at Rummy.]

By the way, that piece of nigga technology is on.

[Rummy looks towards the device and realizes she's right.]

Oh shit, not again.

[He reaches out and turns it off.]

[OOC: So, Rummy is cursed with daemon day. The daemon in question is a black rat snake. Might not be an exact match, but a close enough one, I think. Not the most dangerous snake in the world, but, like Rummy, it's still not a good idea to mess with one. Also, they strangle their prey, and Rummy did once strangle a man.]

[dreamsofnoah]

Ooh, you have a snake too!

...hey, that's not fair, yours talks.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she talks. She also never shuts up.

[dreamsofnoah]

When Lero won't shut up I just step on his head. It usually works.

But I think a snake it more likely to bite than an umbrella.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Don't even think about it, nigga. Remember what I said about the whole sharing pain thing.

Yeah, if this... thing is my soul, I don't think I wanna do that.

[dreamsofnoah]

Your soul is a snake?

[giggling] So you're under that curse.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Duh.

This 's happened before? What does the City have a fetish for recyclin' curses?

[dreamsofnoah]

Oh yes. Sometimes they happen over and over and over.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

...That explains a few things.

[dreamsofnoah]

Does~ it?

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

It explains why every other month you've had yer memories posted for the whole world to see.

D'you ever shut up?

[dreamsofnoah]

[Road's just going to be over here giggling at their conversation.]

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

[Both turn their attention back to Road.]

To borrow a few words from Ed, the fuck y'all lookin' at?

...What she said.

[dreamsofnoah]

At you two ♪

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

[Rummy rolls his eyes while the snake gives an annoyed hiss.]

[dreamsofnoah]

I think I'm starting to see the resemblance.

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

Figures an aspect of you would be a snake.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

That suppossed to be a crack at me?

[Dumb question? Why yes.]

[child-radical.livejournal.com]

And here it would've taken Ed twenty minutes to realize I was subtly questioning his character.

[setshimup.livejournal.com]

3.0.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

What're you... oh, right. That whole "rating" curse.

Well, you ain't exactly a peach yerself.

[The snake gives a threatening glance. As well as a snake can, anyway.]

[setshimup.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear, I'm a catch and a class act. You're just lashing out.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Think the bitches I've dated would have a few thing to say 'bout that ratin'.

[The snake nods her head in agreement]

[setshimup.livejournal.com]

The fact that you call them bitches is both degrading and insulting to women everywhere. They're lucky to be rid of you.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

What are ya', some kinda female activist?

I'm sorry! ;;

[setshimup.livejournal.com]

Yes. I speak for women everywhere. I'm a feminist because at its root, feminism is about equality and not about rude, politically incorrect degrading men such as yourself.

's all good

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Oh great, she's one'a those types.

In case you hadn't noticed, bein' PC ain't exactly a priority of mine.

[setshimup.livejournal.com]

I am not any type. I am simply a modern woman who doesn't appreciate your vulgarity.

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

Wow. She even sounds like you.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

[The snake flicks her tongue at Raikov.]

How else would somethin' that came from me talk?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

I was hoping perhaps somewhere in your soul, you weren't really that... mn.. what's the word...

Trashy?

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Better what yo'self, Commie.

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

Don't feel too insulted. Even Soviets have a lazy way of speaking.

[insert Raikov imitating a lazy-Soviet-speaker]

Now, the same sentence in proper Russian would be..

[insert more proper Russian but Rummy probably can't tell the difference]

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

[Rummy and his daemon share a confused glance. Well, with Rummy it's obvious, but it's probably hard to tell if the snake shares the expression.]

English, motherfucker, you speak it?

gksfhgak i c wat u did thar

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do. I was trying to show that there's a difference in my native language as well.

*innocent look*

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Ain't much of a difference then. That shit all sounds the same.

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

I suppose it would to someone who's not familiar with it..

[shewashuman.livejournal.com]

Blimey.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Lemme guess, you ain't surprised my soul's a motherfuckin' snake either?

[shewashuman.livejournal.com]

No it's not that. It's just...I can't believe that a soul can actually take shape. Sorry. Still trying to process it all.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Try wakin' up with a motherfuckin' snake in yo' bed.

Yeah, thanks for almost throwin' me across the room, asshole.

[shewashuman.livejournal.com]

I've woken up to worse things but I can understand where you're going from. Shock of your life.

You--Did it hurt you both, when you did that?

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

...Now that you mention it, yeah, it kinda did.

[shewashuman.livejournal.com]

It could've been worse too you know. At least it wasn't an Ood with red eyes but still--I'm sorry...At least it'll be over at midnight, yeah? Or well supposedly.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Dunno what the fuck an Ood is, but yeah, I'm guessin' she'll be gone pretty soon.

Chances are you might see me next month or the month after, though.

[shewashuman.livejournal.com]

An Ood's a bit--Actually it's probably better that you don't know. Are you gonna miss her?

I hope I do.

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

Fuck no I ain't gonna miss her.

Quit bullshittin' yourself, Rummy. After all, you haven't had company like mine since the last time you was with Ed.

...A'right, maybe a little.

[shewashuman.livejournal.com]

Oh come on not even a little teeny bit? That's a bit rude to say.

Ah-ha! I knew it.

Ed...That's your mate from back home, yeah?

[classywigger.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, he's my hommie.

Come to think of it, every memory that's been seen here also has Ed in it. Think that means anyhing?

[shewashuman.livejournal.com]

I can understand that. It must be difficult.

I think it means that you miss him and that this place's being a bit cruel. Then again maybe it can be a sign that you'll see him again soon?
