[1v1] nothing ever hits home (Lurks & Hollandaise)

[its me debz]

Lurks stopped in place, weathering Holly's blow with a sudden dreamy look on his face.

"I have practised," he sighed, a smile taking over his face. But the details were for himself and his brother, the Mother, and perhaps the Star Walker, who had earned his trust and fondness.

Hollandaise crossed her arms abruptly and rolled her eyes. "Practiced what? Being an insufferable twit? Because at that, at least, you succeed." She kicked sand at him. He had stopped, for the most part, trying to harm the vines, so her goal was acheived, but sheer stubbornness did not allow her to walk away.

"You are not worthy," Lurks sniffed, derisive. "So protective of human-world plants. Too attached to life, as if being alive means anything at all." He kicked her in the shin, frustrated.

'Not worthy.' Not worthy notworthynot worthynotworthnot not e n o u g h. In his words were her elder's voices, ringing in her ears like an echo she could never forget. Eyes wide and mouth set in a line, she slapped him across the face. "Living is everything," she said, her voice low. It had to be. Creeple did not die like plants did, like humans did, but there were a hundred other tiny ways to die even as your body still moved.

"Living means nothing," Lurks said, stubborn. "I am not alive. I do not breathe or eat or breed in the body. It is a human thing, that I want to see. Forever and ever and ever, a cycle of life. And then I will harvest the weak in culling, and it will continue."

"Life is not just for humans. You are mostly alive, in a fashion. I am alive. You do not need to eat or breathe, but you move, you are sentient... mostly." Hollandaise stil did not assign much intelligence to Lurks. She did not like him. The ghoul didn't particularly feel like fighting still, but she would see things through to whatever end. Maybe. Bending, she grabbed a chunk of broken concrete and sent it whizzing past his head.

wtf tiny damages lol

 

[its me debz]

Lurks snorted, dismissive. A swarm of bugs began to crawl up his legs and arms, shadowy and inky black, darker than the night. "But we do not live. I do not breathe or bleed. If I am hurt, my body fails and it goes back to a place to heal and reform, like sand in the wind. A human dies, and that is what lets them live."

It was the most mature he'd ever sounded, and it was clearly taking quite a bit of effort.

"Death is not what it means to live." She watched interestedly as bugs moved around him, coming from his skin and sinking back in. His exposed bone was more unnerving than the skitter of many, many legs. "I am alive, just not in the same way as things that die. Have you ever wondered what it must be like to die?" She paused for a moment, lips tinnned.

"I wish I could show you."

"No." Lurks grabbed for her hair with insistent hands, seeking to tangle the strands in his fist and pull. "Only the death of people. But I think about taking creeple and keeping them, too."

He sighed, pouting.

"But they only take, and do not give like humans. Take, take take."

"You sound like a very ugly chicken." A swipe at his face, which missed terribly.

"Your face," Lurks said, gravely, "IS AN UGLY CHICKEN!"

"I do not have feathers," Hollandaise said, highly offended. Then she spat in his face.

Lurks took her by the head and shook it a little. Like testing a piggy bank.

"Me either!" And then, he smashed his forehead to hers.
