004 〖 ♍ ♑〗 video

[The feed opens up slightly shaky, obviously being held by someone quite upset. There’s some hushed muttering as the camera focuses on the front door of a small residence in Orlea. Bright green spray paint is scrawled across the door and windows and siding, spelling out hateful messages such as ‘ALIEN FREAKS’ and ‘GET OUT.’

Porrim, from behind the camera, sighs, and then calls out towards the house:]


Kurloz? You might want to see this...

[From the doorway you can hear footsteps, hurried due to the pitch in her voice. He comes down the stairs and is by her side still out of shot. No sound is made, something that wouldn’t be unusual with the mime, however it’s like the world just stopped. Slowly he steps forward into the view and touches the paint lightly—it was fresh. He looks back at Porrim, face blank and expressionless, the only real way to make a mime speechless

Porrim turns the camera of her phone toward her own face, and it’s like a storm cloud has passed over her normally serene expression; her brows are drawn downward and there’s a toothy scowl on her mouth. But when she speaks, there’s not just anger but a hint of sadness. Who would do something like this...?]


It seems like our neighbors aren’t too happy that we’ve invaded the neighborhood. Too bad we can’t get back in our SPACESHIP— [She raises her voice and shouts that word toward the neighboring houses, before taking a deep, calming breath]—and fly away home. Is anyone else having problems like this?


[[ooc: replies will be coming from both Porrim and Kurloz ([personal profile] kurloz_makara)!]]

[Victor's stunned enough by what he sees at first. But the voice calling a name he recognizes -- and seeing Kurloz's reaction to the hateful words -- well. That just gets his blood boiling. He goes ahead and activates his own video, revealing one very angry-looking young Victorian man.]

I haven't been having any troubles over here, but -- that is just -- people disgust me sometimes, they really do. Can't even make the effort to be civil to anyone else who's even slightly different. . .

[Now it's all reminding him unpleasantly of his hometown, and how easily his fellow villagers were convinced to think of their dead loved ones as demons and damned souls, and that's just raising his dander even more.]

And I was starting to think the one thing this world was good at was being friendly. . .

[Perfectly understandable. Victor lets out a deep sigh, shaking his head.]

Some people are just like that, I'm afraid. Wiling to condemn anyone different from themselves on the slightest pretext. . . Too caught up in fear to actually see if someone's dangerous or not. . .

Forgive me, I should introduce myself. Victor Van Dort. Your roommate knows me a bit -- we met shortly after I arrived. One of the first to tell me what was going on, in fact.

[Kurloz comes up behind Porrim, wrapping his arms around her and smiling at victor, waving his hand a little. He had been trying to comfort the girl but it was obvious he's awkward and unsure of what to do.]

[He then waves his hand a little in an "eeehhh...kinda sorta, way." They were dangerous, more dangerous than you can imagine, Victor. But they chose not to hurt them...though he may reconsider this fact if they pursue on this route. And with that thought he stares/glares off into space.]

[Victor returns the wave with a little smile of his own. Yeah, Victor knows how that goes. He's awkward and unsure when it comes to comforting too.

As for the "kinda-sorta" hand waggle. . . Victor considers it for a moment. One could say that about his dead friends too, perhaps. They
did drag a man off to, if not eternal torment, then at least a good few months of whatever pain they could inflict on him. On the other hand, said man was an unrepentant murderer and all-around arse, so. . .]

If you weren't hurting anyone, why not just leave you alone? If it's obvious all you wish to do is live your own lives in peace. . .

[Kurloz walks up to her as soon as the video comes off, hand coming up and gently stroking her hair. Personally he was okay; he had dealt with this kind of fear and rejection before, and he hardly counted a couple of humans even in their league. They were lower on the food chain, literally and metaphorically.]

[He looked into her eyes, trying to read her. She was closer to the humans then he was, as well as more ...emotional, at least where others come into play as well as connections.]

[Victor does notice, and it puzzles him a bit because Kurloz mentioned loving someone who wasn't here. . .but it's not any of his business, and it's not like he hasn't loved someone else when he thought he'd never see his first love again. Besides, he doesn't know the exact nature of any of these relationships, and with Kurloz and Porrim clearly not human and from such a different world --

Okay, he's confusing himself. Bottom line, not any of his business. Moving on. He chuckles at Porrim's joke, then shrugs back.]


I don't know what to tell you, then. You'd think something like this would have started right away. . .then again, people can be pretty fickle about what they accept one day and don't accept another sometimes.

[Hello old bitterness toward his hometown! Haven't seen you in a bit!]

[Kurloz shakes his head, he doesn't know why... Perhaps the hate has always been there, lying deep inside their hearts. Only their "kindness" And "acceptability" made them forego doing anything about it. But lately he's noticed their agitation growing, as the plants wither and die.]

[Carefully he touches her arms, holding them lightly and just letting her know he cared, he's really not sure what to say and he can't talk in order to comfort her that way. He felt so awkward right now.]

kurloz_makara: (:o)Shhh)

[You see Victor, he couldn't tell you about Porrim or troll relationships because he forgot and it's a very complicated and confusing things anyway. Point is, they’re not even in one of those kind of relationships, they've foregone such things and are working outside the forces of Quadrants. ]

[But it suites them perfectly.]

[He nuzzles into her a little, taking in her scent and just being sappy really after she leans into his embrace. He obviously does care about her a lot. And he would absolutely destroy anybody (here) that would dare to hurt her, or threaten her.]

[Kurloz has to nod solemnly at Victors words, he knew that too well.]

[Hey, as long as they're happy. Which Victor can see, and it does bring a little smile onto his face. Good friends, friends with benefits, lovers -- whatever they are, they're content, and that's all that really matters, isn't it?

And the protective instinct? If Alice were here, Victor would likely be feeling the same way about her. Even now he can't help but worry about her -- yes, she's capable of taking care of herself, but. . .well, being in love means worrying sometimes.

He sighs.]


Hopefully it's not all of them. Just a very vocal -- so to speak -- minority. After all, if you've had no problems beforehand. . .

I hope I'm right too. . .

[He gives her a small smile.]

It's all right. You're certainly allowed to be distracted, given the -- circumstances. It's nice to meet you as well, Porrim. I just wish it could have been for a more pleasant reason.

[Kurloz tilts his head at Porrim's words, now resting on her shoulder. Human dinner? Really?]

[But he looked forward to the possibility of Victor coming over. He'd like that, before he forwent such things because he was living in a grave yard and didn't have much to offer.

[He smiles slowly, a little mischievous. Paint had a double meaning to a Makara after all, there was painting the walls with blood or painting them with paint. And considering his thoughts previously he wouldn't mind doing the first. But he figured she meant with normal paint, which he also still had a lot of after dealing with this own room.]

[Wow -- Victor can't remember the last time someone invited him to dinner just because they wanted his company, rather than feeling they had to because his family was rich and big in business. That definitely gets a bigger smile out of him.]

I think I'd like that. Though if dinner's a problem, I could bring my own food. I've got plenty of sandwich materials in my icebox.

[Yeah, guess what he's kind of been living on. Those, muffins and bagels, and a whole host of snack foods. At least he's not that picky about what he eats.]

[He looks down into her eyes and his smile fades a little. He looks down to the arm and then back to her, wondering if she really wanted to know.]

[Also wondering if he really felt like telling her. Most of the time he kept such thoughts to himself, otherwise he shared them secretly with Mituna who he wasn't really worried about sharing the information. After all, when he was excitable he could hardly say anything coherent. And other then that he really just didn't care, never really did. Kurloz never acted much on his impulse, or at least never towards their own friends. He kept out of trouble, and Mituna was the one who was in need of keeping calm.]

[Finally he moves forward and starts tracing on her arm. His curiosity to know how she'd react overcoming his urge to just walk away. Where was the line drawn between them? On her arm he wrote "WE SHOULD PAINT IT RED". He kept it simple and concise so she'd be able to remember the letters and catch what he was trying to say.]

I see. Well, it really would be my pleasure to come over and have dinner with you -- or even just some conversation.

[He chuckles a little himself.]

Well, I don't know how much of an improvement I'll be, but I'll try my best. . .

[That's not good for you Victor, theirs all sorts of proteins and nutrients you need in order to live a healthy lifestyle, says the mime that sewed his mouth shut and lives off of Faygo and Protein shakes.]

[He rolled his eyes at Porrim's words, thinking how much of an understatement that is. She literally mothers everybody; she'd probably even mother a super villain. But the movement isn't very noticeable, mostly because his pupils couldn’t be seen and so all you could see was his eyebrows move up and down again.]

[When she pats his cheek he looks over at her, and then he smirks a little. Although he's not a conversationalist he's rather vocal about his feelings, at least in certain places.]

[Suddenly he perks up and grins at Victor’s answer, happy to have a friend over and their house...his house... That doesn't happen often.]
