Razas | Demon OC

1!

[dogeat_underdog]

[Simon stares around at the carnage, completely befuddled.] What. What the actual fuck, Raz. They destroyed it all and left... us?

There'd better be booze left or I swear to Da-- heh. I swear, I'm going to find a way to commit suicide.

[notsogrimoire]

. . . oh, for. [Razas squeezes his eyes shut.] I am going to count to ten. And when I have finished, I am going to open my eyes to discover this is all a hideous nightmare and I am safely back in my grimoire.

[dogeat_underdog]

I, uh. Think your book ended up on fire. Just like nearly everything else. [Simon shakes his fist in the general direction of the sky.] When I said I was going to form a Brotherhood of Sitting This the Fuck Out, I was kidding.

[notsogrimoire]

Yes. Well. And don't we all know just how keen the senses of humor Above and Below are. Were. Buggering bloody . . .

[He's interrupted by a deep bass honking, and a nearby pile of rubble shudders and crumbles away as Steven unfolds herself from the knot she was curled into beneath it, shaking out her wings and looking incredibly befuddled by all this apocalyptic nonsense.]

[dogeat_underdog]

...you have got to be fucking kidding me. The lizard survives.

How. Is this. My life. [He sets off determinedly down the ravaged street.] I'm going to find a bar and drink that fucker dry. Coming?

[notsogrimoire]

[Razas will probably realize, eventually, that he can find his own bar to drink dry. But for the time being . . .] Come along then, darling, follow your Uncle Simon, there's a good girl.

[dogeat_underdog]

[Simon stops short and squeezes his eyes shut, hunching his shoulders.] I swear, if you are going to baby-talk that fuckin' horse-sized monstrosity, I am going to Move to the other side of the planet and drink myself insensible alone, Raz. Because holy shit.

[notsogrimoire]

[Is that a brief stab of smug satisfaction at having so easily gotten Simon's goat? Why yes it is.] Oh, don't be so dramatic, Simon. And don't call her a monstrosity. She is sensitive.

[dogeat_underdog]

[Simon mutters a vile curse and OH THANK DAD THERE IS A BAR. He goes in and heads straight for the expensive stuff.] I cannot believe that I'm stuck at the end of the Apocalypse with you and your dragon. This might be worse than the damn Lake.

[notsogrimoire]

[Razas huffs out a dry laugh and begins availing himself of the nearest shelf of bottles, gingerly shoving aside what remains of the bartender with the toe of one shoe as he does.] Perhaps we are one another's version of Eternal Damnation, ever think of that?

[dogeat_underdog]

[Simon pours himself a pilsner glass full of scotch. No rocks.] I could almost believe it. [Especially when that ridiculous, enormous lizard goes galumphing after a rat, leaving several smashed chairs and tables behind it-- her.

Oh, God, if he's going to be stuck with Raz, he'd better stop twitting him, even mentally, about the dragon. Thoughts have a bad habit of being said out loud and he can't afford that. He bets Raz could still curse him but good.]

What're we supposed to do now? Drink our way across the planet leaving empty bars and dead rats in our wake?

[notsogrimoire]

Don't be ridiculous, my dear brother. [Razas eyes him over the rim of his glass.] Steven never leaves anything as messy as a corpse behind her.

[dogeat_underdog]

[And he drains half his glass, just like that. Good thing he doesn't need to breathe] Do you think anything's left? Or anyone?

[notsogrimoire]

No way of telling right now, is there? [Razas swirls his alcohol in the glass and examines it idly as he does.] Perhaps we've been doled out the just final punishment for those unwilling to choose a side.

[dogeat_underdog]

Oh, we chose a side. [Simon barks out an entirely humorless laugh.] Our side. Because fuck 'em all anyway, for trying to make us choose. [And there goes the rest of his drink. He pours himself another.]
