[unfortunately, the vampire fell asleep, actually fell asleep, which is shocking enough in itself. and truthfully, he's not looking so good, like he's been skipping meals again. what a surprise

[...damn. Axel doesn't have a clue what the hell is going on, but considering how many people are going nuts over the network...

it's not real. but it looks damn real enough]

Asher! Hey, Asher! Wake up!

[marredgoldfinch]

[he jerks around, eyes wide as he hears that voice]

I am awake! Can't you see her? She killed them, killed them all!

[he struggles in Belle's grip, lashing out with clawed fingers of his own, the blood pooling around his collarbone before spilling down his bare chest]

[firebranded]

I don't see anyone but you. What are you doing, fighting with nothing? Just get out of there.

The door's right there.

[marredgoldfinch]

It's not a dream, Axel. She's right fucking there.

[redpaperfan]

[ He can survey the situation, but tired people aren't the most rational. ]

Asher.

[marredgoldfinch]

Sasuke...?

[but he was dead. his body was right over there, pale and drained of blood, starting to rot away, skin melting over bone]

[redpaperfan]

Yes.

[ And if he sounds a little irritated, he's still tired as hell. ]

[marredgoldfinch]

But you're...

[and his statement is cut off as Belle's nails dragged down his shoulder, tearing it open]

[not_that_lockon]

[... those bodies can't be real. He's sure he's seen some of those people still alive not long ago -]

Asher!

[marredgoldfinch]

[oh, but they certainly seem to be real, don't they?]

No... don't come any closer, she'll kill you too!

[not_that_lockon]

But what about you?

[marredgoldfinch]

I'm her child... she can't-- she won't--

[but he really doesn't seem so sure as he struggles against her. since he hasn't had a recent meal, he's not doing so hot]
