A WIP

Comments

first week of the month;

[quickwhip]

[ The sun barely peeks through the curtains drawn at his window, yet he still feels exhausted from the daylight outside. The days are getting... more difficult for him. Getting out of bed is a hassle, trying to remain awake when night hasn't fallen around the world is a chore, and his thirst for blood flip-flops between being more intense than usual to barely there at all. It must be leading up to the full moon, he figures.

You know, if it weren't for the fact that he's pale as shit and feels exhausted from just sitting up in bed at times. It has him wonder. Standing there in the bathroom and looking down to the sink with lazy eyes. Wonder if it's really getting closer.

If it's finally going to be time soon.

Trevor sits outside Sypha's door in their place. Blanket wrapped around him. Draped over his shoulders and head. Legs stretched out with his head hung. Just waiting for Sypha. Whenever she might come across this bundle of blanket outside her door. ]

[strongspirited]

[Missing the great big lump that is Trevor Belmont is hard. Missing the melancholic feel of his emotions in the bond even more so. Sypha isn't the type to ignore feelings like that, but with him she's not sure how to approach them. So, she opts for the simple approach the moment she gets back from the coven.

Marching over, she settles down beside him, just sitting right there on the floor.]

Is there something I can do to help you, Trevor?

[quickwhip]

[ When Sypha approaches, he lifts his head up to look to her and, shifting around a bit within the blanket draped around him, he pulls out a small brown teddy bear with a bow around its neck, holding it out for her. ]

I... got this for you. Earlier.

[strongspirited]

You...what?

[This, maybe, is the last thing she expected. She still reaches out and takes it, but the confusion in her voice is obvious.]

...why?

[quickwhip]

[ He also gave Alucard a white wolf with gold eyes carved out of marble and the blond's reaction was more or less the same as Sypha's. He's... really not all that great at this, is he? ]

Just... felt like it? I saw it and it made me think of you.

[ With a hand coming to rub against the side of his neck, he looks to Sypha then. ]

Is it stupid?

[strongspirited]

Stupid?

[She shakes her head, holding the toy to her chest.]

Not at all. It's...actually unexpectedly sweet.

[Leaning over, she darts in for a kiss. On the cheek.]

Thank you, Trevor. Unexpected doesn't mean I don't like it.

[quickwhip]

[ The kiss to his cheek gets him to smile and he finds his head rolling to rest against hers, shifting some on the floor. Still wrapped in his blanket. ]

Tell me the truth... I look like shit, right?

this guy again, sometime during the month;

[quickwhip]

[ Night has fallen and that means Trevor is finally awake. No longer rolled up in his sheets with the curtains blacked out until Alucard can put together something more habitable for a vampire, he's stretched himself out, worked out the kinks in his neck, and headed for wherever Sypha might be as he has something he figures she'd know a thing or two about.

Maybe.

Point is, when he locates her heartbeat within the house, he rolls himself around the edge of the doorway and pokes his head in with a curious blink of those blue eyes. ]

Morning. [ for him ] Dooooo you have a minute?

[ Thankfully, for the time being, night doesn't fall so late as it will during the summer. ]

[strongspirited]

[Sypha has been just kind of sitting up, waiting on him to wake up. She's reading in her little bedroom room, nothing too fancy, and has adjusted her sleep schedule so she falls asleep late at night and rises around midday.

Looking up, she waves him in.]

Of course. What do you need?

[quickwhip]

[ Sauntering his way in, he hums a bit as he gives a quick look around her room before he comes to stand before her, arms folding against his chest. ]

I... was wondering something.

[ He tilts his head from side to side then, a smile tugging at his lips then. ]

So, I have the Morning Star here with me, as I'm sure you already know. It lacks the magic within it here in this place but still stings like a bitch if it should happen to touch me.

[ Silver and all. ]

I was wondering if you know of a way to... possibly enchant it here? Not against myself but if we get into trouble or anything, it might come in handy to pack a bit of a punch to it. You know. Against... monsters and all that.

[ As if he's not one himself. ]

[strongspirited]

Oh...hmm...

[Right, he IS a vampire now, and hell, that's a good thing to know. The Morning Star wasn't going to blow him up or anything (good) but silver allergy? That she could probably do something with.]

...I think I could. Not as powerfully as the original enchantment. But I could likely make it not burn you, and maybe light on fire or something? So then you'd have a flaming whip.

[Heh.]

Unless you had something more specific in mind?

[quickwhip]

Fire's good.

[ And he says that with a hum and sway to the side. Head tilting. Blue eyes letting their gaze trail across the room. ]

Not very often you see people or monsters running towards fire after all.

[ Probably one or two who WOULD, knowing this place, but. For the most part? Fire seems good. ]

Something similar to how it originally was maybe. I just... have no idea how to do that.

[ Not like he "enchanted" the whips to begin with. ]

[strongspirited]

I don't either.

[She's truthful at least.]

But I'll try? You know I'll do everything I can.

[She's already reaching for a book on enchantment.]

The Coven may be of help too.

around 4/24; video

[loverboi]

[ sypha will receive a video call in the middle of the night. hopefully she'll know how to answer the call after lance showed her how to use her watch, because god, he needs her to answer. he's desperate for help, and she was the second person to come to mind. allura, naturally, was the first, but given that she's bonded to keith and that'd be an entire fucking mess if lance got involved...

well. he has to explore other options. hopefully she picks up. ]

[strongspirited]

[She does know how to answer the call. She's also fortunately not in bed with Alucard and Trevor, because that would be a very, very awkward call for everyone.

She's in the kitchen, having actually only been awake for a couple of hours. Having a vampire in the house does that to you.]

...Lance?

[loverboi]

Hey -- need your help.

[ he looks like he's struggling with something. what that something is isn't clear, but he's growling, bearing his teeth as he ducks his head. his eyes are black with blue pupils, and he looks at the camera. ]

I don't feel like myself anymore. Pretty sure I'm losing it.

[strongspirited]

You're...

[Oh.]

...Shit. Lance, are you not bonded with anyone?

[Is this a thing she's seeing?!]

[loverboi]

I have Marie, but she's not a Witch.

[ he's trying to reign himself in, and he feels like he should be heading towards the ocean in case his tail decides to grow out again, but alas. he's here in his room, blankets wrapped around him. ]

I need your help. I'll make it up to you, I swear -- but I can't do this any longer.

[ he hasn't thought about how he'll pay her back just yet, but he'll think of something, if she agrees to what he's sort of asking her to do. ]

[strongspirited]

Of course.

[She sets her jaw, already grabbing her cloak.]

Go to the Coven. Now. I will be there in a few minutes.

[Fucking. Hell.]

action; rip for this fool sypha

[quickwhip]

[ It's the middle of the night because when the fuck else would he be awake?? when he slowly pops open Sypha's bedroom door and just... peeks his way in. Real stealth. Real quiet. Real sneaky and suspicious. ]

Psst. Sypha? Are you awake?

rip

[strongspirited]

[Her light is off but that doesn't mean anything She's laying in bed, reading quietly by mage-light. But, you know, when her idiot bondmate/boyfriend meanders in attempting to be stealthy, she closes her book and looks at him long and hard.]

...Yes...what do you want, Trevor?

[quickwhip]

[ He was just making sure he wasn't waking her since unlike him, she needs sleep during the night?? Why are his bondmates so sassy?? But he slips his way inside and is quiet about the way he shuts the door behind him, making his way over to the bed where he drops himself down to sit at the foot of the bed. ]

There's something I have to tell you. Something that's shocked me to my very core and I don't know what to think of it.

[ After a long pause, he looks to her. Dead fucking serious. ]

They sell whips here for sex.

[strongspirited]

[Because everyone from Wallachia is sassy and good looking. Look at all three of them...

Sypha sits up straight as he talks. Her brow furrows in genuine concern. She...honestly felt that, in the bond. Something seems to be bugging him, and she's empathetic enough to give it her full attention.

And then he drops that nugget in her lap. And she just blinks.]

...Excuse me...?

[She is Shook.]

[quickwhip]

That's weird right?!

[ He doesn't mean to blurt that out so enthusiastically but he sure did because SOMEONE GETS IT?? ]

I saw someone selling some whips so I asked if they were enchanted and they asked me how and I said to cause pain and then we got into this weird talk about how these particular whips are for sex and I still can't get over it, fuck.

[strongspirited]

...that's extremely weird.

[Sypha shakes her head and reaches her hands out to Trevor, trying to prompt him to come closer.]

Why would you...? What...even. It's not for that!
