misc lab stuff and various fruits.

[viktor's lab in the willful machine is usually left unlocked when he's working inside. friends or acquaintances have likely been told they're welcome to stop by if they like, either to say hello or to get help with whatever a vaguely sketchy lab could handle. of course someone he doesn't know can just walk in too or knock. maybe there's a sudden downpour and that ajar door is tempting? go for it.

the lab has been slowly filling with all sorts of nonsense on the various tables- lasers! tasers! some weird machine hooked up to a blood gem? it is not unlikely to be walking by and hear some minor booming noise and either a curse in czech or a satisfied 'a-ha!' feel free to investigate.

this month there's something else too, a bowl full of fruit. all the fruits mentioned in the tdm in fact, there to be tested on though it looks more like they're just for guests if people are unaware there's some weird shit going on.]

Just a moment, make yourself at home. [he might say to guest. that would include eating some fruit, right? enjoy. probably not the raw lemon though, that's weird.]

[ooc; if you want to memshare i am game, my only hard limit on memories is no suicide stuff please. self sacrifice is fine! feel free to ask to make sure one is okay. if you'd like a viktor memory let me know any hard limits and what sort of memory you might prefer!]


gaze and time loops.

[having lungs mostly working for the moment is pretty great, in viktor's humble opinion. it means walking around the trench doesn't come with the risk of coughing up blood and attracting beasts and generally having a bad time, along with added perks like not getting so easily winded and going for longer. it also means he finds himself out longer than he usually would, which maybe isn't the best, as it turns out.

for example, making his way home through gaze and hearing the chilling cry of a beast, sighing and trying to make his way around what turns out to be the wrong corner. maybe that's where he sees your character before the snarling of a too close beast starts in earnest.

and then snap! they're both back about an hour, where they passed on the street. the look viktor gives is somewhere between resigned and 'fuck this, actually.'] There is a term for this. 'One of those days,' I think.

[ The ambush. The moment the two have strived for since embarking on this strange time loop. From behind the beast's massive abdomen, a thin wispy reaper-like figure ascends from the rolling waves of darkness. Much like a scythe, the extended onyx blade swings up before driving down deep into the very core of the creature. ]

I'm Sorry.[ Said hushed through gritted teeth. ]

[ A splintering crunching noise occurs as the sword pierces through the armor that is exoskeleton, completely shattering through any bone fragments. A pulse of indigo blue energy reverberates from the point of contact. The blow is so powerful, it sends out a shockwave of energy, instantly evaporating the shikigami toads. Leaving behind a circle of negative space, revealing the exposed alley-floor.

Normally an attack of this nature would cause blood to spill; however in its place, a vibrant purple flame flows out of the fatal wounds opening. Spreading fast and igniting the entire body in an illuminating blaze, instantly. Large chunks of the spider begin to disintegrate, ravishing through coarse hairy skin at a speed so fast nothing but soot hits the ground.
