Always tumbling down over that abyss of Madness

Who: Zero and Open
What: Zero loses his shit falls to his bloodlust
When: May 4th
Where: Everywhere.
Warnings: Blood, violence, manipulation, self-harm, he'll be an arrogant ass too


He digs at his throat obscuring the tattoo. The pain a welcome change to the raw hunger clawing at his throat making it impossible to even think! His stomach churns and his form convulses bringing him to his knees. His hands slam forward breaking the fall as his instincts single out the faint sound of a heart beating in the distance. He covers his ears to block out the sound but it doesn't go away!

Starvation.

It turned vampires mad. And Zero had been starving himself for far too long.

His body screams in agony, forcing his instincts to the surface as hunger grips him in its claws forcing his heart rate up, the sound mixing with the steady one in the distance. It was close. If he--

"Stop it!"

He grits his teeth and his breathing falls into ragged breaths. He's losing control. Beneath the blood and raw skin, his tattoo begins to glow and his eyes pulse a deep red. He's slipping, falling off the ledge of sanity and the monster lurking inside raises its head and tests the will that always kept it at bay, and for the first time it come away with a grin. The Hunter lost more than his memories, he lost his strength to defy it.

Time passes and his throat begins to heal while that beating heart echoes in his mind drawing the vampire toward the source, a wide grin marring its lips when its meal falls within its sights.

It's late. Or early, depending on how you look at it. Hiyoko is taking a walk through a park on the near shore. She should probably know better than to be wandering around alone at this hour. But she's a goddess now! And besides, she knows how to take care of herself.

What's the worst that could happen?

She stops for a moment to pet a passing stray cat.

"So Kitty, I don't suppose you know anything about existential politics..."


'Mrow?'


"Yeah, didn't think so."

"Why? Have you been picking on him when I'm... not.. around?"

She had turned with an amused smile on her face, but it falls away as she takes in the blood on his neck. There is a moment of silence.

And then she's rushing toward him.

"Oh my gosh are you okay?!? Are you hurt? What happened?"

"Hungry?"

She shakes her head impatiently.

"No, I mean the blood! Did you get into a fight with somebirdie?"

At first she thought the blood was his, but now that she's closer.... He doesn't look injured. A familiar feeling starts creeping up her spine. It's that same feeling she always got when Dr. Iwamine snuck up on her. He spent a lot of time covered in unexplained blood too. But... but this isn't a suspicious partridge. This is Zero. He's a friend. So... there has to be an explanation, right?
talkbirdytome: (flustered)

"What? Why would I want to do that?"

Flustered, she takes a quick step back.

"What's with you today? Are you feeling okay?"

Actually, that makes sense. Maybe this relates to that illness he had when they met. He said he had it under control, but maybe he had a relapse.

Fight or flight is an instinct that Hiyoko is very familiar with. But for good or ill, she usually defaults to 'fight.' So no. She's not running. There is only the barest second of widening eyes as her conscious brain finally grasps the situation.

"No!!"

Good thing her body is way ahead of her. When he steps forward, she lunges, aiming to drive her fist into his stomach. Face the 'fist of the irrational teenage girl!'

"N- not by a long shot. Don't underestimate me."

He's way tougher than she expected. Hiyoko backs up a step when she realizes her hits aren't actually doing damage. Crap. This was a little like punching that tank...

It also occurs to her to wonder what the heck is going on.

"What happened to you? Did you go nuts when I wasn't looking?!"

With a small gasp, she whirls around and backs away. He moves so fast! Definitely not normal.

"Uh, maybe because you went from 'tsundere loner type' to 'creepy weirdo' with absolutely no warning??"
