Nellis Mer rp not cleaned up.
XAshiraX (9:38:49 PM): getting drunk sometimes had it's adverse effects. Like stumbling home very late not remembering what the hell had happened that night. Or if you'd been slipped anything. The conman frumped face first on the couch of their small apartment unceremoniously near dawn.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:42:44 PM): "Where th' hell've ya been?!" Ellis demanded, alerted by the sound of the front door opening and closing. The mechanic had ventured into the living room cautiously, only to find Nick collapsed on the couch. The boy was unpleased, indeed.
XAshiraX (9:44:32 PM): Nick looked up from his slumped spot. "Just a bit of gambling overalls. don't shout..heads killing me."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:45:42 PM): "Yea, an' out all night without tellin' me, 'r callin' me..." He frowned. "I gotta right t' shout, 'cuz I am angry as hell with ya right now!"
XAshiraX (9:49:17 PM): Nick winces heavily sitting up and looking at him blearily. One side of his neck had an angry red mark. Really it looked like a hickey even if it was far from it. "Calm down Ellis, it was just one night out of fun.."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:50:36 PM): Ellis' eyes flashed. "Is... Is that a hicky?!" The boy closed the distance between them in a flash and grabbed Nick's collar to inspect the skin.
XAshiraX (9:51:15 PM): "What? I wasn't even around anyone remotely attractive. I just drank at the card table.." He frowned some reaching his hand up to touch the inflamed skin. "It's hot...hickeys don't hold heat kid"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:53:28 PM): Ellis was still making a face at him. "You gotta lot've booze on yer breath..." he said, dropping his grip on the older man's shirt collar furiously. "How d'I know ya jus' don' remember nothin'? ...Or that yer lyin', fer that matter?"
XAshiraX (9:54:13 PM): Nick grumbled out at hime. "Ellis I swear to you I didn't do anything. I just played cards. Won too.."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:54:58 PM): "How d'ya explain that, then?" Ellis practically spat, pointing at the mark.
XAshiraX (9:56:43 PM): Nick shook his head. "I told you..I don't know. I was playing cards with a few older gentlemen. One kept leaning close to talk to me between hands..I don't really remember much Ellis. Just I certainly did not have sex or anything of that nature!"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:00:33 PM): "Ya don' necessarily gotta have sex t' get a hickey..." the mechanic said, still looking livid. "...It was that one guy, wasn' it?" he asked. "Th' one who ya said kept leanin' int' ya.:
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:00:35 PM): *"
XAshiraX (10:01:24 PM): "I said I don't know! Jesus kid don't you trust me even a little?" He winced holding his head. He didn't feel well at all.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:03:59 PM): "Kin'a hard t' take yer word on good faith when ya come home at
th' asscrack've dawn without even callin' me an' showin' face with a goddamned hickey on yer neck!" Ellis crossed his arms, straightening his posture as he leered down at Nick. "I worried 'bout ya... All damned night! I didn' hear from ya! Ya know how nerve-wrackin' that is?!"
XAshiraX (10:05:59 PM): "I'm sorry Elle I am I was just going stircrazy with no free time...and I didn't think you'd let me go out alone." He sighed out some.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:07:36 PM): "I ain't some type've hoardin' lunatic!" Ellis insisted. "Ya coulda jus' told me ya wanted t' go out... Hell, I prolly woulda wanted t' go with ya! None've this is an excuse fer makin' me worry s'damned hard like ya did, though..."
XAshiraX (10:08:35 PM): "You wanting to go is exactly what I figured you'd want, I just needed some time to be in my own element kid. I'm sorry I worried you."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:09:58 PM): "Ya coulda told me ya wanted t' be on yer own, too!" Ellis threw his hands up. "Jeez, I'd've understood! I geddit! Really! But here I was, thinkin' you was dead 'r somethin'!" He pouted heavily.
XAshiraX (10:12:27 PM): "Next time I'll trust you to let me go on my own then...jesus my neck hurts." He groaned a bit holding the hot patch of skin.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:13:58 PM): Ellis just let a terse breath out. "Get somethin' fer yer pains, then come back an' sleep out 'ere. 'm goin' th' fuck back t' bed." He turned his back to Nick, making a start for the bedroom.
XAshiraX (10:15:04 PM): Nick sighed out and went to the bathroom downing some asprin before collapsing back on the couch. He was still in a deep sleep when the mechanic would get up though a pained expression was on his face. The mark on his neck looked discolored and gnarled.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:20:27 PM): Ellis barely noticed Nick himself sleeping on the couch as he stumbled past in a sleepy haze, let alone the small mark on his neck. He made a B-line for the fridge and opened it, keen on finding his orange juice.
XAshiraX (10:21:19 PM): Nick groaned at the sound of something opening and he sat up hazed looking around groggily and groaning out in pain.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:23:10 PM): "How're ya feelin'...?" the boy's voice called from across the island of counter sepperating them. He was leaning on its surface and sipping idly at his glass, looking slightly more refreshed with it.
XAshiraX (10:27:47 PM): "bad...really bad.." He said holding his head some and hunching forward having shed his clothes off during the night but he was still sweating despite it being cold.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:29:09 PM): Ellis' face showed a glimmer of concern, and he set down the glass with a soft clink before he headed over to the conman and knelt in front of him. "Yer head...?" he asked, carefully taking Nick's face in his hands.
XAshiraX (10:31:20 PM): His skin was hot to the touch and he looked pale and ill. "Yea my heads killing me..whole body hurts actually."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:33:31 PM): The boy's frown deepened. "Ya feel real sick..." His face softened. "Mon amour en difficulté malheureux..." He stood up and took Nick's hand. "Yer goin' t' bed. C'mon."
XAshiraX (10:34:02 PM): Nick let himself be drug there feeling wobbily and unsteady. He winced itching at the backs of his arms some. "Fucking..itch all over.."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:35:14 PM): "'m gonna call th' doctor," Ellis said, carefull to keep Nick on his feet and not bumping into anything. "This ain't right, not at all." He helped Nick into bed, gently pulling the sheets over him. "Ya want anythin'?"
XAshiraX (10:38:53 PM): "Don't ..don't call a doctor. what if they think it's the flu....they'll shoot me." He said in a slightly fearful tone. "No doctors."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:41:09 PM): Ellis looked pained. "Nick, I gotta do somethin'..."
XAshiraX (10:42:21 PM): Nick nodded some. "Just..get me juice and more painkillers. If I get worse I'll think about it"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:44:57 PM): "Alright..." He sighed. "Alright..." Ellis retreated for the bathroom, opening the medicine cabinet before he went to the kitchen to fill a glass of fresh juice. "Here," he said once he had returned, holding the pills and juice out to Nick.
XAshiraX (10:47:11 PM): Nick nodded taking the juice and drinking the pills laying heavily back into the bed looking pale and hagard. He was still sweating up a storm, the mark on his neck looked grayish blue and discolored rougher than it should have been.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (10:48:42 PM): Fed by his concern, Ellis climbed up into the bed and lay next to Nick, unperturbed by the other man's sickly state. "Yer hickey looks disgustin'," he said bluntly. "Don' look much like a hickey now, really."
XAshiraX (10:50:03 PM): Nick tilted his head to the side, it hadn't been obvious the night before but in the center of all the discoloration was some kind of puncture wound. Like a needle had gotten him without him knowing. He frowned a bit. "Disgusting...?"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s 10:51 pm
(10:51:16 PM): "Yea." Ellis nodded his head. "Looks all... Purpley-blue an' nasty..." He resisted the urge to touch it, instead settling for a patch of clean skin just below.
XAshiraX (12:15:49 PM):He didn't wince when his skin was touched, despite how bad it all itched. "It doesn't hurt though ,itchy but not hurt." He let long breath out and put his hand to his forehead. "Just what I need, probably some new version of the flu."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:17:01 PM):"Don' say that!" Ellis said sternly, cutting him off. He frowned at the conman. "D'ya remember how ya got it...?"
XAshiraX (12:18:52 PM):Nick tried to think now that he was actually sober. "I really think it was that old guy that was leaning next to me. He kept talking to me about his job.." He rubbed his forehead for a moment. "Something about the government.."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:20:59 PM):"Lotta people work fer th' government..." Ellis said slowly. "Did he mention anythin' 'bout people suddenly endin' up with weird marks on their necks?"
XAshiraX (12:22:25 PM):Nick shook his head. "No he kept going on about some stupid research he was doing..I wasn't paying much attention to him I was focusing on the game."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:23:54 PM):"Well, what happened after th' game?" Ellis continued to prod. He carefully slid out of bed and went for the small bathroom ajoining their bedroom to wet a washcloth. There was the hiss of the sink water as he turned the faucet and soaked a rag down.
XAshiraX (12:25:48 PM):"I was pretty smashed by that point, he said he'd buy me one last drink and we stayed sitting there. I just let him talk and drank. I'm sure he was just lonely or some shit...wait.." He grimaced trying to remember. "Ugh I think he was coming onto me but I can't be sure. He kept saying I'd make a nice specimine...that's either very disgusting or very troubling I can't decide."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:28:33 PM):"That sounds really fuckin' weird," Ellis said, squeezing the excess water out of the rag before he turned the faucet off and returned to Nick. Climbing back into bed, he carefully dabbed at the mark on the other man's neck. "So, he did come on t' ya...?" he asked slowly, eyes raising to look at his lover.
XAshiraX (12:30:41 PM):"Maybe..but what if he didn't..? What if he was being literal about that?" He made a face as he put the water on he let a low noise out. "God that feels good...itching stops when you get it wet.." Dr Sl33pYp4n7s went idle at 12:38:33 PM
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:43:16 PM):"Literal 'bout
what? Th' fact he said you'd make a good specimin...? Specimin fer what, s'actly?" He frowned again. "That's what I wanna know..." He kept dabbing the spot with the damp washcloth. "Maybe th' water's washin' it off a lil'?" he said hopefully.
XAshiraX (12:43:58 PM):"Maybe it is, it feels good either way." He said sliding off the side of the bed next to him. "Why don't you help me take a shower kid, maybe it'll feel even better."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:47:00 PM):The mechanic snorted. "S'that an invitation 'm hearin'...?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow. Nevertheless, he pushed himself to his feet. "Fine, yea, sure, I guess."
XAshiraX (12:48:34 PM):Nick got up unsteadily and headed into the bathroom only having to catch hold of the hick a couple times for support. He stripped out of his clothes revealing more patches of the blue gray rough spts. It wasn't like the infection, it was too dark and sparse looking. A concentration of the discoloring was on his hips down the sides of his legs.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:52:48 PM):"Whoa, whoa, easy..." Ellis said, putting his arms out to catch Nick before he could fall. His eyes roved over the marks on the other man's skin. "Jeez... what th' hell s'goin' on..." he muttered, touching one of the marks on Nick's hip. The skin felt dry and sanpapery, and Ellis recoiled a little. "Nick, we really outta find... I 'unno, someone we kin go to," he said, turning on the water.
XAshiraX (12:53:45 PM):Nick frowned at the thought of showing anyone else and shook his head. "I don't know kid. you know what people will think." He stepped into the water and immediately felt better he leaned against the wall closing his eyes.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:55:15 PM):"Well, shit, you gotta better plan?" the boy demanded, pulling his hat off before he began to undress. Once his clothes lay in a pile on the floor, he climbed into the shower as well and pulled the curtain.
XAshiraX (12:56:01 PM):Nick didn't respond to that and it might have seemed like he was contemplating it. But really he was zoned out on the feeling of the water his eyes shut as he just leaned there against the tile.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:56:58 PM):"Nick..." Ellis moved over to him and tried to look his lover in the face. "Hellooo~? Earth t' Nick? D'ya read me?"
XAshiraX (12:58:36 PM):His eyes opened and he looked at him almost sleepily. The gray green eyes looked off like he wasn't all there. "Yea kid..?"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:03:18 PM):"Ya feelin' okay...?" he asked, lifting a hand to touch the side of Nick's face as he stepped a little closer, the spray from the showerhead falling over him and dampening his curls.
XAshiraX (1:04:21 PM):He licked his lips a little looking him over. "feeling pretty good all of a sudden." He said with a slow grin on his features backing the boy into a corner.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:07:54 PM):Ellis' eyebrows raised. "What're ya doin'...?" he asked, even if it was rather apparent.
XAshiraX (1:09:43 PM):Nick pushes him against the wall with a surge of agression leaning in to kiss him deeply. His hands gripping the boys shoulders.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:13:31 PM):The mechanic made an audible 'oof!' noise as his back collided with the tile, before Nick's lips were on his immediately, ripping out arough, demanding kiss. Ellis couldn't help a small groan in the back of his throat as a result, he always seemed to enjoy Nick's demanding nature in bed all too much. Still, the day had been weird so far, and honestly this wasn't making it any less so. "N-Nick..." he breathed, tipping his head back to keep his lips out of reach enough for him to talk. "What th' hell's goin' on with ya...?"
XAshiraX (1:14:35 PM):"I don't know, but I dont' dislike it" He breathed out moving his mouth in to attack at his neck. His tongue and mouth working over the tan skin, making small nips at it.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:16:38 PM):Ellis groaned faintly as Nick turned his attentions instead to his throat, wincing every now and then when the other man's teeth pinched harder. "Y-yer startin' out rougher than usual..." he observed.
XAshiraX (1:18:30 PM):He pulled his head back when he felt his teeth cut into the boys skin. The taste of blood was near intoxicating but he managed to shake his head out holding it. "what the hell..is wrong with me.."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:23:44 PM):"O-ow!" Ellis yelped, head snapping forward as his hand shot to a bite mark that had broken the skin. The blood was trickling freely down the side of his throat and towards his collarbone. He looked at the red on his fingertips with something between confusion and faint horror. "Nick, what th' hell!" he hissed, shoving the other man with his free hand. "You ain't never drawn blood b'fore!"
XAshiraX (1:29:31 PM):He put his hand to his mouth looking at him in a worried apologetic manner. "I don't
know..I don't know whats wrong.." He felt inside his mouth and looked absolutely horrified at what he found.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:35:39 PM):"What's wrong...?" Ellis asked cautiously, not liking that look on Nick's face. "Nick..."
XAshiraX (1:38:01 PM):It took him a moment but he opened his mouth to show Ellis what had him so afraid. The older man was looking at him worriedly.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:40:07 PM):"...Th' fuck?!" Ellis' eyes went wide at the sight of the rows of sharp, pointed teeth that were growing out of the older man's gums in place of normal ones. "Nick, what th' hell... What th' fuck's goin' on?!"
XAshiraX (1:41:00 PM):He just leaned against the tile. "I don't know kid..I really don't.." He put his hand over the place where the shit had started on his neck and looked at him. "I think he really did mean specimine..I think that nut job got me with something."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:43:58 PM):Ellis was starting to clamber out of the shower. "Yea, well... We're findin' this sonnovabitch, an' I am plannin' on interrogatin' him 'til we find out what th' hell's wrong with ya!" He yelped as he slipped a bit on the wet floor in his haste but managed to catch himself. He made a grab for a towel and wrapped it around his hips, before examining the bite at his throat in the fogged mirror. "Dammit."
XAshiraX (1:45:10 PM):Nick slumped down in the bottom of the tub arms around his legs. "Yea kid and how do you expect to find him? He could be anywhere by now."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:47:42 PM):"S'a small town..." Ellis reasoned, fishing around the medicine cabinent for some disinfectant. He hissed in pain once he'd dabbed a soaked cottonball against the cut. "Someone's gotta have heard've him, at least..."
XAshiraX (1:48:47 PM):"I'm sorry kid..that I bit you...I'm sorry.." He was fretting over it all. But this time it was with due course. Something bad was happening to him he could tell. And he couldn't will himself to get out of the water either.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:49:59 PM):Ellis let a breath out. "...s'okay..." he said assuringly, fetching a band-aid to put over the wound. "Don' worry 'bout it too much, alright?"
XAshiraX (1:51:20 PM):"I don't think I should go out with you to look kid, not like this. Someone could tell the military.." He put his head against the side of the tub watching him miserably.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:53:42 PM):Ellis patted the bandage on his neck and leaned on the sink with a heavy sigh. "How 'm I gonna know what th' prick looks like, then...?" he asked, frowning at the drain. He looked up at Nick again and sighed out at the look on the other man's face. "Life jus' can't be normal anymore, can it?"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:42:44 PM): "Where th' hell've ya been?!" Ellis demanded, alerted by the sound of the front door opening and closing. The mechanic had ventured into the living room cautiously, only to find Nick collapsed on the couch. The boy was unpleased, indeed.
XAshiraX (9:44:32 PM): Nick looked up from his slumped spot. "Just a bit of gambling overalls. don't shout..heads killing me."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:45:42 PM): "Yea, an' out all night without tellin' me, 'r callin' me..." He frowned. "I gotta right t' shout, 'cuz I am angry as hell with ya right now!"
XAshiraX (9:49:17 PM): Nick winces heavily sitting up and looking at him blearily. One side of his neck had an angry red mark. Really it looked like a hickey even if it was far from it. "Calm down Ellis, it was just one night out of fun.."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:50:36 PM): Ellis' eyes flashed. "Is... Is that a hicky?!" The boy closed the distance between them in a flash and grabbed Nick's collar to inspect the skin.
XAshiraX (9:51:15 PM): "What? I wasn't even around anyone remotely attractive. I just drank at the card table.." He frowned some reaching his hand up to touch the inflamed skin. "It's hot...hickeys don't hold heat kid"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (9:53:28 PM): Ellis was still making a face at him. "You gotta lot've booze on yer breath..." he said, dropping his grip on the older man's shirt collar furiously. "How d'I know ya jus' don' remember nothin'? ...Or that yer lyin', fer that matter?"

Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:20:59 PM):"Lotta people work fer th' government..." Ellis said slowly. "Did he mention anythin' 'bout people suddenly endin' up with weird marks on their necks?"
XAshiraX (12:22:25 PM):Nick shook his head. "No he kept going on about some stupid research he was doing..I wasn't paying much attention to him I was focusing on the game."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:23:54 PM):"Well, what happened after th' game?" Ellis continued to prod. He carefully slid out of bed and went for the small bathroom ajoining their bedroom to wet a washcloth. There was the hiss of the sink water as he turned the faucet and soaked a rag down.
XAshiraX (12:25:48 PM):"I was pretty smashed by that point, he said he'd buy me one last drink and we stayed sitting there. I just let him talk and drank. I'm sure he was just lonely or some shit...wait.." He grimaced trying to remember. "Ugh I think he was coming onto me but I can't be sure. He kept saying I'd make a nice specimine...that's either very disgusting or very troubling I can't decide."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:28:33 PM):"That sounds really fuckin' weird," Ellis said, squeezing the excess water out of the rag before he turned the faucet off and returned to Nick. Climbing back into bed, he carefully dabbed at the mark on the other man's neck. "So, he did come on t' ya...?" he asked slowly, eyes raising to look at his lover.
XAshiraX (12:30:41 PM):"Maybe..but what if he didn't..? What if he was being literal about that?" He made a face as he put the water on he let a low noise out. "God that feels good...itching stops when you get it wet.." Dr Sl33pYp4n7s went idle at 12:38:33 PM
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:43:16 PM):"Literal 'bout
what? Th' fact he said you'd make a good specimin...? Specimin fer what, s'actly?" He frowned again. "That's what I wanna know..." He kept dabbing the spot with the damp washcloth. "Maybe th' water's washin' it off a lil'?" he said hopefully.
XAshiraX (12:43:58 PM):"Maybe it is, it feels good either way." He said sliding off the side of the bed next to him. "Why don't you help me take a shower kid, maybe it'll feel even better."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:47:00 PM):The mechanic snorted. "S'that an invitation 'm hearin'...?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow. Nevertheless, he pushed himself to his feet. "Fine, yea, sure, I guess."
XAshiraX (12:48:34 PM):Nick got up unsteadily and headed into the bathroom only having to catch hold of the hick a couple times for support. He stripped out of his clothes revealing more patches of the blue gray rough spts. It wasn't like the infection, it was too dark and sparse looking. A concentration of the discoloring was on his hips down the sides of his legs.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:52:48 PM):"Whoa, whoa, easy..." Ellis said, putting his arms out to catch Nick before he could fall. His eyes roved over the marks on the other man's skin. "Jeez... what th' hell s'goin' on..." he muttered, touching one of the marks on Nick's hip. The skin felt dry and sanpapery, and Ellis recoiled a little. "Nick, we really outta find... I 'unno, someone we kin go to," he said, turning on the water.
XAshiraX (12:53:45 PM):Nick frowned at the thought of showing anyone else and shook his head. "I don't know kid. you know what people will think." He stepped into the water and immediately felt better he leaned against the wall closing his eyes.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:55:15 PM):"Well, shit, you gotta better plan?" the boy demanded, pulling his hat off before he began to undress. Once his clothes lay in a pile on the floor, he climbed into the shower as well and pulled the curtain.
XAshiraX (12:56:01 PM):Nick didn't respond to that and it might have seemed like he was contemplating it. But really he was zoned out on the feeling of the water his eyes shut as he just leaned there against the tile.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (12:56:58 PM):"Nick..." Ellis moved over to him and tried to look his lover in the face. "Hellooo~? Earth t' Nick? D'ya read me?"
XAshiraX (12:58:36 PM):His eyes opened and he looked at him almost sleepily. The gray green eyes looked off like he wasn't all there. "Yea kid..?"
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:03:18 PM):"Ya feelin' okay...?" he asked, lifting a hand to touch the side of Nick's face as he stepped a little closer, the spray from the showerhead falling over him and dampening his curls.
XAshiraX (1:04:21 PM):He licked his lips a little looking him over. "feeling pretty good all of a sudden." He said with a slow grin on his features backing the boy into a corner.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:07:54 PM):Ellis' eyebrows raised. "What're ya doin'...?" he asked, even if it was rather apparent.
XAshiraX (1:09:43 PM):Nick pushes him against the wall with a surge of agression leaning in to kiss him deeply. His hands gripping the boys shoulders.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:13:31 PM):The mechanic made an audible 'oof!' noise as his back collided with the tile, before Nick's lips were on his immediately, ripping out arough, demanding kiss. Ellis couldn't help a small groan in the back of his throat as a result, he always seemed to enjoy Nick's demanding nature in bed all too much. Still, the day had been weird so far, and honestly this wasn't making it any less so. "N-Nick..." he breathed, tipping his head back to keep his lips out of reach enough for him to talk. "What th' hell's goin' on with ya...?"
XAshiraX (1:14:35 PM):"I don't know, but I dont' dislike it" He breathed out moving his mouth in to attack at his neck. His tongue and mouth working over the tan skin, making small nips at it.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:16:38 PM):Ellis groaned faintly as Nick turned his attentions instead to his throat, wincing every now and then when the other man's teeth pinched harder. "Y-yer startin' out rougher than usual..." he observed.
XAshiraX (1:18:30 PM):He pulled his head back when he felt his teeth cut into the boys skin. The taste of blood was near intoxicating but he managed to shake his head out holding it. "what the hell..is wrong with me.."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:23:44 PM):"O-ow!" Ellis yelped, head snapping forward as his hand shot to a bite mark that had broken the skin. The blood was trickling freely down the side of his throat and towards his collarbone. He looked at the red on his fingertips with something between confusion and faint horror. "Nick, what th' hell!" he hissed, shoving the other man with his free hand. "You ain't never drawn blood b'fore!"
XAshiraX (1:29:31 PM):He put his hand to his mouth looking at him in a worried apologetic manner. "I don't
know..I don't know whats wrong.." He felt inside his mouth and looked absolutely horrified at what he found.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:35:39 PM):"What's wrong...?" Ellis asked cautiously, not liking that look on Nick's face. "Nick..."
XAshiraX (1:38:01 PM):It took him a moment but he opened his mouth to show Ellis what had him so afraid. The older man was looking at him worriedly.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:40:07 PM):"...Th' fuck?!" Ellis' eyes went wide at the sight of the rows of sharp, pointed teeth that were growing out of the older man's gums in place of normal ones. "Nick, what th' hell... What th' fuck's goin' on?!"
XAshiraX (1:41:00 PM):He just leaned against the tile. "I don't know kid..I really don't.." He put his hand over the place where the shit had started on his neck and looked at him. "I think he really did mean specimine..I think that nut job got me with something."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:43:58 PM):Ellis was starting to clamber out of the shower. "Yea, well... We're findin' this sonnovabitch, an' I am plannin' on interrogatin' him 'til we find out what th' hell's wrong with ya!" He yelped as he slipped a bit on the wet floor in his haste but managed to catch himself. He made a grab for a towel and wrapped it around his hips, before examining the bite at his throat in the fogged mirror. "Dammit."
XAshiraX (1:45:10 PM):Nick slumped down in the bottom of the tub arms around his legs. "Yea kid and how do you expect to find him? He could be anywhere by now."
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:47:42 PM):"S'a small town..." Ellis reasoned, fishing around the medicine cabinent for some disinfectant. He hissed in pain once he'd dabbed a soaked cottonball against the cut. "Someone's gotta have heard've him, at least..."
XAshiraX (1:48:47 PM):"I'm sorry kid..that I bit you...I'm sorry.." He was fretting over it all. But this time it was with due course. Something bad was happening to him he could tell. And he couldn't will himself to get out of the water either.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:49:59 PM):Ellis let a breath out. "...s'okay..." he said assuringly, fetching a band-aid to put over the wound. "Don' worry 'bout it too much, alright?"
XAshiraX (1:51:20 PM):"I don't think I should go out with you to look kid, not like this. Someone could tell the military.." He put his head against the side of the tub watching him miserably.
Dr Sl33pYp4n7s (1:53:42 PM):Ellis patted the bandage on his neck and leaned on the sink with a heavy sigh. "How 'm I gonna know what th' prick looks like, then...?" he asked, frowning at the drain. He looked up at Nick again and sighed out at the look on the other man's face. "Life jus' can't be normal anymore, can it?"
