prompts
one｡ SURVIVORS -- you two are the only ones left, whether it be the result of the apocalypse, a fight with the final boss gone horribly wrong, or something equally tragic. now you're left to contemplate friends and loved ones lost, as well as which one of you may be next.

two｡ SICKNESS -- you are seriously ill. poisoning, virus, perhaps it's even mental; whatever the reason, you doubt time is on your side this time.

three｡ FORGOTTEN -- you're not sure how, but your memories are crumbling and the things you do recall are hazy and make you dizzy. can you even recognize the person in front of you anymore?

four｡ SEPARATED -- you can see them, hear them, but something's keeping you from being with them. perhaps you're placed in a room with impenetrable glass dividing you, or you're hiding in a phone booth downtown, calling them secretly.

five｡ MELLOWED -- you've been through things, you've loved and you've lost, and all of that's changed you. maybe you finally decided to give in to temptation, you could be addicted to a substance you know is destroying you, or you've simply lost the optimism you had as a youth.

six｡ ANTAGONIST -- you've flipped the coin. you had to do it; they might not be able to understand it, but you just can't forgive the things that have happened. the darkness has consumed you.

seven｡ FREE CHOICE -- combine any of the others, reroll, or make up your own bad ending. the choice is yours!

[She'll gladly let him have the bag, but she's still not moving. When it starts to look like he's draining that one she has another at the ready.]

Come on Harvey...I know you're in there somewhere.

[Yeah yeah yeah whatever give him more.

At the very least, he seems content enough to sit and listen to her while he's got something to eat. He actually seems to be calming down; there's much less thrashing to escape now.]

[Yup, she'll keep it coming, occasionally trying to talk to him and see if she's getting a response. She will keep this up until she gets results dammit!]

[It takes another couple of bags, but eventually he blinks in confusion at something she's said. He wasn't really listening, but it is starting to register now that someone is actually talking to him, and that perhaps he should be.]

What...?

[Also, don't mind any noises that might be coming from the rest of the apartment.]

[She was starting to lose hope of ever getting him back to reality, but her ears perk up at him responding for once.]

Harvey? Hey-you back with us?

[Hey, he's been in reality. Slowly starving to death is a reality.]

Wh - [God, he's thirsty. When was the last time he ate? He doesn't usually get like this...where is he, anyway?] The hell? Give - give me that.

[He noticed the last blood bag on her, but at least now he's got the manners to ask instead of snatching it from her. See, that's why he keeps so many extra in there.]

[She complies, and now that he's starting to get some sense of coherency she slowly climbs off of him, weapon nearby if he tries anything. Still keeping an eye on him, she takes the chance to check on Linkara. The wound doesn't appear to still be bleeding, and he still has a pulse, but she can't get the first aid kit to patch the bite yet.]

[Harvey pushes himself into a sitting position and huddles against the bed, nursing his bag. He's dying of thirst and frankly, he's glad she's leaving him alone right now. His temper takes a real shitty turn when he's hungry - not to mention, he's still feeling pretty unmoored. How did he get here?]

Who - [He presses the heel of his palm to his eye. There's another vampire in the apartment; he can tell.] - who's in here?

[Liz blinks at that question...is he still delirious?]

It's just me and Linkara. What--

[And that's when her ear flicks toward the door and she hears something in the next room and hastily snatches up her sword.]

Fuckin'...

[Harvey pushes himself to his feet, noting Linkara prone on the floor with a lot less alarm than he thinks he should probably feel. That'll be the hunger, too. It's disgusting, really, that he needs to be well-fed for basic empathy to work.

At least there's apparently someone here he's allowed to take out his lingering aggression on.]

Lemme get it, it's fine...

[It's not fine. There's no way anything's going to be fine with him like that. Liz doesn't follow yet, not wanting to leave Linkara alone while he's unconscious. She pulls him up around her shoulders to put him back in bed - away from the window. Once he's as far as she can move him, she rummages through the end table drawer, finding a few rosaries she got off of some street preachers a while back - and kept for exactly this reason. One she drapes carefully around Linkara's neck, the other she hangs in front of the bedroom window. It's locked, but if there's already a 'friend' inside then she's taking no chances.

Then, she follows out the door, weapon ready.]

[Mmmm yeah, he left way before all of that.

Harvey and another man - who looks far more put together, frankly - are standing together in the hallway, arguing in low tones. Harvey looks about to attack, but for now they haven't quite escalated into actual violence, for whatever reason.

The other vampire looks up at Liz's arrival, which allows Harvey to grab him by the throat and toss him out into the living room. It's on.]

[Liz has just enough time to recognize that the intruder is another vampire before they disappear into the living room. She tightens her grip on her sword and follows, scanning the room for anything else that might be awry, and stays on guard for if Harvey needs help in this fight.]

How did he get in?

[They're sorta busy trying to rip each other's throats out right now, Liz.

Harvey's still pretty off-balance from everything that just happened, though, enough so that he's not even entirely positive what just happened. The other vampire's already got some good shots in, and he's bleeding now. He really can't afford to be losing that blood - he just got it!]
