MAD IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS
[Smooth Sailin', Francis Waylan']
Comet
"The guy's like an idiot you know?" Comet rambles as he walks through the streets with Cúno the Fool and his friend.
Comet
"Guy thinks I'm in love with him, and I ain't have to do much more than give him a lil kiss on the cheek now and then. It's easy work!"

"I don't know how he has so much money, and frankly, I ain't gonna ask him. Knowing vampwelfs, it's either slavery, killing people, or something just as terrible." Comet takes out the keys to the little hidden basement door in one of the alleys. He giggles and shushes the others, as if they were contributing to the discussion.
Comet
Stepping down the stairs to the laboratory powered by electricity, he hollers- "HONEY, I'M HOME!" Before elbowing one of the guests, ready to show off the joke of a lifetime.

"COMET, DEAR! YOU'RE BACK." Lumii hugs the the much shorter man as if his life depending on it. Lumii reeks of booze, and his lab, cluttered with empty bottles, is no better. "I though you were leaving forever!"

"Eh. I guess I can't stay away from you." Comet laughs, Lumii not noticing anything foul.
Lumii
"Who are your friends....." Lumii asks, fixing his goggles. "I think I saw them at the ruins yesterday."
Joshua
"Oh, hello sir! I remember you! Glad you're doing better!"
Lumii
"Better? That's....relative...."
Lumii
"I'm sorry for the mess in here!" Lumii rushes to push bottles under trash cans, and, when he runs out, under desks. "It's usually tidier, I just haven't been feeling very well this month."
Cúno the Fool
Every second around this man was a second Cúno could only follow, stunned by just how nefarious he proved to be. When elbowed he shuffled, rather meekly, to the side, just out of the way of the incoming vampwelf. "Eh, oh yes, we met at the ruins."
Lumii
"It's so nice of you folks to come to see me. I already told you but...."
Lumii
"It's a bit lonely being a fey man in this world...... Unlike fey women, they aren't ignored. Rather they're killed on sight. It's why I'm so glad to have met Comet. He's the only fey man I know who hasn't been killed."
Cúno the Fool
The actual state of the house only served to up his concern - reminiscent of somebody he used to know, yes. Though of course he could not bare to dwell, now! That last statement caught him off guard, though. "Only?"

"Oh thats...Nice! Good for both of you!! To uh....have found eachother! Yes!" Joshua sounda very unsure of himself.
Lumii
"So what are you folks here for? I doubt you're fey men as well. Hehehehe!"
Lumii
"A shame....it would be nice to have fey men meetings with more than just two people....."
Lumii
"Perhaps you're interested in my electricity? Maybe about what I've found in the ruins?"
Cúno the Fool
"Woefully short-sighted to think there really aren't more out there, no? Eh, well..."
Lumii
"It's not short sighted. It's reasonable. Any man who shows himself to love other men is killed! It is easier to say "there are no fey men" than it is to say "I will never find another fey man because they'll all die soon after!""

Joshua tries to figure out if hes a fey man or not, but realizes that it's a futile endeavor, he focuses on the mention of electricity instead "ohh, I sure am interested about that electricity thing! I'm interested in everything about this planet!"
Cúno the Fool
"Dare I say I've been interested in this planet's... relationship with electricity since I've first landed."
Cúno the Fool
"Wockle doesn't really have electricity, not because of some odd anomalous means, but because nobody's ever really made machinery... I leave Wockle, I see so much cool electric tech, and then come here... And... Nothing!..."
Lumii
"I've never been off planet, but I have read quite a bit of history books!"
Lumii
"A long time ago, electricity was discovered. The people who worked on it were, how do I say, disabled in the eyes. Couldn't see a thing at night."
Lumii
"These people would call themselves the "Dawn Knights" because they would bring the dawn with their lights even in the darkness! No more carrying fires with them everywhere they go! The Dawn Knights were happy, they grew more powerful and then....."
Lumii
"Lights off."
Lumii
"From what I've heard, the Dawn Knights had a powerful dragon of electricity.....It was notable in being intelligent....and uh...."
Lumii
"Very annoying apparently?"
Comet
"A bit like you. Intelligent........and........well......"
Lumii
Lumii laughs happily. "Yes I am very intelligent. Thank you my bright Comet!"

"No problem, man."
Lumii
"So I guess the Dawn Knight didn't discover electricity with science, but via anomalous means. They've been begging for their noble, yet very annoying electricity dragon to be released."
Lumii
"And one day, while digging graves, I found this long tendril in the soil. Electricity flowed through it like water."
Lumii
"For fun, I actually attached a dead body to it!"
Comet
"For fun...."
Lumii
"Yeah, and then it like, came to life? It was rather scary actually!"
Lumii
"So I kind of did it again. And again......."
Lumii
"Maybe I did it too many times but....I was drunk.....you can't blame me. If you found that electricity could bring things back to life, you'd run around zapping things for fun too! I even made a slab of deli meat walk again! I'm sorry, but playing god was a little too exciting!"
Comet
"He loves blaming everything on being drunk."
Lumii
Lumii sighs. "Sorry.....I know I shouldn't.....Forgive me Comet."
Comet
"I'll think about it."
Cúno the Fool
He beckons Joshua's ear. "(I'm not sure how much longer I can take Comet's nonsense.)"

"(These two sure are something, huh?)" Joshua whispers back, his voice strained.
Cúno the Fool
"(Terrible, terrible, terrible duo. I should get over myself and do something! Yet...)"
Cúno the Fool
"(..............................................)" A thousand jitters and terrors dance through his mind as he listens to Lumii go on and on about electricity. It really is an interesting topic, the idea of a dragon, reincarnation through odd electrical means... Though he pitied the poor man........
Cúno the Fool
"I cannot stand to see you speak your falsehoods, goat man. I cannot pay attention to Lumii's history when I see your contradictions! 'A bit like you... Intelligent...' when on the very way in you were calling him an idiot!"
Comet
Comet grits his teeth, annoyed that his new "friends" were trying to protect a vampwelf.
Comet
"Aw, honey, I was calling you an idiot in a cute way, you know? I ain't mean it rudely. I think he just misunderstood."

"Oh! I understand. Guests, it's ok! Comet calls me his "Stupid little thing" lovingly all the time. He's not serious!"
Cúno the Fool
"There is no feeling or fervour in his words. I know this, too, because he told me... On the way in."

"If he were truly a fey man, maybe he'd understand how to keep secrets."
Comet
"I only told you that just in case you were one of those men sent to kill fey men! I had to have a cover up!"
Lumii
"Oh, that makes sense!"
Lumii
"............................................"
Lumii
"But wouldn't that mean you would be dooming me to death?"
Comet
"I'm stupid sometimes too, hun."
Lumii
"Oh I guess so......"
Cúno the Fool
He looks Comet dead in the eye. "What would I do to you? Kill you with music?"
Comet
"You're a damn fool! Everyone knows it's the fool job to find the "funnest" oddities in the kingdom and go singing about them!"

Cúno the Fool
"The fool decides what to write about. And I fear I don't find fey men all that odd."
Comet
"What are you, some sort of queer?"
Lumii
"You shouldn't say that word like that......."
Comet
"Right sorry. Vampwelfs are rubbing off on me."

"I'm, like, a vampwelf."
Comet
"You're the only good vampwelf."
Lumii
"Oh I see! Hahaaha!" Lumii is instantly pacified by even the slightest of compliments.
Cúno the Fool
"His words mean nothing."
Cúno the Fool
"He hates you like he hates every other vampwelf."
Comet
"Nuh uh, you're my special guy."
Lumii
"I'm your special guy!"
Lumii
"But I must be honest....I don't feel like you treat me very....uh...special?"
Comet
"I kiss you on the cheek. Ain't that enough?"

"Well....Whenever I want to do more, you seem rather disgusted about me......I didn't want to mention it cause, well, I just figured it was normal, I guess."
Lumii
"And I respect your boundaries! I do! But.....I just feel like I shouldn't be told "Eww no" when I ask for you to....you know........."
Lumii
"Kiss me on the neck instead?"
Comet
"Ew."
Cúno the Fool
"It's... hardly normal at all, I fear."
Cúno the Fool
"It depresses me you live like this."
Lumii
"Comet, my love. I've wondered for ages if perhaps you were not actually a fey man."
Comet
"Fine! I ain't a fey man! What about it?"

"What do you mean, "What about it", I'm a fey man! I want to hold other fey men in the morning, and dance with them in the night, and you won't do any of that because you actually find me....disgusting!"
There's suddenly a click. The basement door locks.

Lumii
"And....now we kind of have to kill you."
Comet
"Excuse me....?"
Lumii
"Comet, look. I love you. Even though you may never have loved me."

"But....now you know I'm a fey man."
Comet
"Lumii....honey....calm the fuck down. I'm not going to tell on you. Just open the door, and I won't ever talk about what happened in this basement ever again."
Lumii
"Comet. I am so dearly sorry......But I have a horrible feeling that isn't going to happen. You told me all vampwelfs deserve to die." Lumii sadly says, grabbing his electric saw.
Lumii
"Comet. I cannot stress this enough. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. But you WILL tell, and then not only will I be hung from the gallows for my feyness, but my lab will be ruined. Everything I worked on, gone!"

"(I have to hope he's noticed I'm... feyish, too. Though I suppose I can't rely on much.)"
Comet
Comet knows he can't reason with Lumii. He shouts to the other two. "Yo! I promise. I swear on my mother's life, and the life of, I don't know, anything you want me to swear on! Hit that switch over there and open the basement door. Let me live. I promise I ain't gonna say shit!"
Joshua
"Ah, I don't know why but I really don't care to do that for you Mr. Comet!"
Cúno the Fool
He only gives Comet a sad look. "If you get away you'll hang him up."
Cúno the Fool
"You said this yourself. I heard it myself." His large ears perk up.

Comet whimpers, pushing himself against a wall. He tries to search for something to defend himself but with nothing there he can only beg. "Please.......please.......I'm sorry for all the shit I've done in my life. I'll be a good man this time, I swear. I'll pay my bills and take care of my kid, and I won't abuse other men just to get the upper hand, I swear." He prays, as if Lumii, who stood over him was some sort of god.

"Sorry, Comet."
Lumii
"I'll try to make you a better person in your next life. Ok?"
Unable to escape. Comet is ripped apart by Lumii.
Lumii
Lumii starts dragging Comet, piece by piece into a freezer. He does not look upon the body in joy, but mourning. "I'm so sorry to both of you. I don't believe this is what you wanted to see when you came down here."
Lumii
"If this was another planet, I wouldn't have had to do this.....yes....what he did was evil, but I don't think he should have HAD to die."
Lumii
"But it was me...or him.....and likely you folks too."

He had cowered from the bloodshed, though a part of him felt desensitised... Numb, to it. The realisation strikes him that, yes, on any other planet, this would never have needed to happen. It truly wasn't a crime worth death. Then, "...Such is the life of 'prey' in the world, hmmm. It's only survival." Said in such a tone it feels as if he's said this a thousand times, for a thousand different people... or animals.

"It's ok....." Lumii says, mostly reassuring himself more than the others. "He won't be dead for too long. I'll put him back together. Long as these wires run through my basement, I'll be able to bring him back. Fix all the issues. A better man he'll be. Maybe he'll even go back to his wife and child."
Lumii
"I am so sorry you had to see this. Even looking away from it...the sound of flesh and bones had to be unpleasant."
Cúno the Fool
"...He had a wife and child this whole time?"
Lumii
"Well, yes, he wasn't lying about the abandoning them part."
Cúno the Fool
("Fuck, I forgot about that part.")
Joshua
"Oh, how awful of him! I can't belive such people can exist..."
Lumii
"Uh...To break the tension........"
Lumii
"Would you like to have a few drinks with me? I swear, I'm not flirting with you!"
Lumii
"I just think we all need a bit of a drink after that."
Cúno the Fool
"Dare I say I was wondering when you would ask."
Joshua
"I don't drink...But thank you! I'll be okay..."
Cúno the Fool
"Of course, pal, I'll drink with you..."

"Well then, cheers, to the fey men science club. Down one member, up two." Lumii says, somberly.
