New roomie? [Nix!]
« on: June 07, 2012, 09:58:25 pm »
Sitting on his bed in his room, Asher glared at the door. As he often did, for lack of anything better to do. That, and, well, he had preemptively decided he hated anyone who would set foot inside his space--because there was not a single person on TRIM he liked.

The only one who came close was now gone. But Asher tried not to think about that; he didn't like the feelings it stirred within him, uncomfortable feelings he'd worked hard to suppress and would, once again, keep buried.

There was no point getting attached to anyone. They would all be gone eventually, if he wasn't gone first. One thing was certain, though: no matter what, he wouldn't be going out of this world quietly and not without a good fight.

Which was how he'd earned a rep as one of the more violent subjects.

Flopping onto his belly on his bed, he propped his head up on his arms and glowered at the door though his mind was floating elsewhere.

Hanguin didn't fight the guards as he was lead easily through the halls of TRIM. He had hoped to be brought to where ever the other Dimuroites that had been taken over the years were... he wondered if they were even still alive... but they discovered his ability. Hanguin already knew he was the first of his people with any psychic ability, even though he was only an empath. He kept his eyes on the ground in front of him as they debated where to put him. Finally they made up their minds and he was lead to a room they opened the door and pushed him in, like he was a rag doll.

"..." he opened his mouth and turned back to the guards to ask them something, but nothing came out... besides the door was slammed behind him anyway. Hanguin turned back to look around the room, the most eye catching thing in the room, was the person in it. "...Hello." Hanguin said hesitantly after a moment.

His mind was still with his crew and his people, he hadn't even begun to fully process what was happening. He had allowed himself to get captured so that his crew could escape... he ordered them to, since they had Dimuroite women and children on his ship The Light Chaser. He couldn't let anything happen to his people... He hoped they were ok...

The door opened and Asher tensed reflexively, prepared to raise hell because today was one of those Bad Days, one of those days where he wasn't physically and mentally exhausted to the point of compliance. But instead of guards marching in to whisk him away, a blue-skinned man was shoved inside.

And then left there.

Asher's eyes flicked to the empty bed, the bed that Cass had once occupied, and then back to the man. Oh. So they'd decided to fill his cell again. He hadn't imagined that he'd ever be given another room-mate; they'd only stuck Cass in with him because Cass was so disconnected from reality and did a good job of distracting him.

Huh.

What whack-job had he been given this time?

Instead of replying to the man's greeting, Asher only grunted in acknowledgment and said, "Asher. You?"

He hadn't yet decided if this was making his mood worse or better.

"...Hanguin." He replied after a moment, realizing the other was asking his name. He sat down on the empty bed and rubbed his arm. They had taken blood already, between that and being drugged by his captors the last few days before being sold to Thanatos INC, well he was still out of it... and hungry. It  was worse then when he passed out at the frontier farm on Edanith. It didn't matter though... he wasn't going anywhere anymore... he didn't have to be responsible for anyone anymore. It was over.

Hanguin looked down at his hands folded on his lap and smiled sadly. Even now he automatically took a praying stance. "...let come what may come and let go of what goes, the wind's gunna blow where the wind's gunna blow... we'll never know why it flows where it flows, let come what may come and let go of what goes..." He muttered to himself in that familiar rhythm.

Asher nodded at the name and was content to let that be the extent of their conversation, not quite sure how he felt about all this right now and in no mood to sort through his thoughts. But he jerked his head up and leveled a malevolent glare at Hanguin when the guy started to chant some sort of nonsense. Goddammit! Not again. Don't tell him he was going to get some whacko that couldn't stand a moment's quiet.

"Aw, fuck, yer a loony, ain'tcha?" Asher groaned, sitting upright. "Gods, just what I need. Let's get one thing straight, alright, asshole? I was here first, right. So yer gonna play by my rules. So if I tell ya to shut the hell up, ya do it, got it? Just so we're clear."

Hanguin was startled by the other's outburst. "..no, I... I'm sorry... it's a prayer." He explained. Though he wasn't upset at the other's snapping at him. He did just get thrust into this person's space... and considering where they were well... Asher must have been through all sorts of terrible things.

"I appologize." He said after a moment and then laid down on the bed. Hanguin tried to keep his eyes open but his eyelids felt so heavy and he was pretty sure his stomach was going to implode from hunger... well as long as his people were safe and not wanting...

Asher snorted a laugh, the sound dark and humorless. "A prayer. Right."

He raked his fingers through his hair, straightening out the tangles since he hadn't bothered to comb it yet that day. "Prayin' ain't gonna do jack shit. Ya seriously believe that crap? 'Cause if so, congrats, yer god's a dick."

Hanguin turned on his side to face Asher as his beliefs were mocked. He was offended, but not really angry... he was used to misconceptions and ignorance concerning his people. "I don't have a 'god'... Dimuroites believe in the Light from which all things come from and return to... every being is searching for the Light..." He said softly, he didn't have much energy to argue, but he felt the need to explain himself.

Asher let out another laugh and lightly slapped his knee. "Oh, that's rich. The light, huh? That all things came from? Ever thought of chuckin' yerself into the sun? It's right there."

Ridiculous. Just ridiculous. He didn't get it--and this guy looked so serious as he explained things! But this shit was all bogus, anyway. There was no "light" but the sun or the dull, grid lighting of an exam room ceiling. And if there was a point to any of this, he sure as hell didn't know what it was, and any god or mystical being or pretty light that let this stuff happen was nothing he wanted to believe in.

He'd rather there be nothing at all than believe in some sadistic creator.

Hanguin quickly realized there was no point wasting his breath explaining it, he felt so dizzy as it was, and now that things had slowed down a bit he was feeling... well, sick. Of course it wasn't like he was actually sick... just starving. He closed his eyes and trembled some as the pain in his stomach caused him to double over. The last time he went through this he had starved himself so that his crew had food... there was no such purpose in his starvation now, and it made the pain worse.

Eh?

Asher jerked in surprise when Hanguin abruptly doubled over and he glanced, quickly, for the door. What the hell? Where were the scientists? Did they shove the guy in here just so he could die or something? Was it contagious? He looked back to Hanguin, uneasily.

"Uh...yer not gonna barf are ya?"

Hanguin winced and looked up at Asher. "I don't... there's nothing to... throw up..." He closed his eyes again and felt like he was falling... even though he was on the bed. "...I'm just, starving..." It was a more common occurrence then he wanted to admit... and since it was one of the few things his kind actually suffered from it didn't occur to him that his roommate was afraid he was ill. Sweat matted his hair and he felt himself dozing off.

Starving? Errr...

Probably as the result of some test the scientists were doing. They did shit like that sometimes. Either that, or the guy was just being melodramatic.

"Uh...lunch is in like five minutes," he offered.

"...good. I haven't eaten in days... its.. the equivalent... of you not eating... for weeks." He'd been told that by one of the physicians that visited the mother ship years ago.

Hanguin forced himself to sit up, knowing he had to try and eat something before sleeping. "...It's my... my first day here... I don't know how things... work yet."

Asher grinned, and it wasn't a pleasant one.

"Newbie, huh? Oh, you'll have so much fun here. Way things work, it's simple. Ya do what people want ya to do and die when they want ya to die. Easy. No worries, right?"

"...I have more pride than that..." Hanguin groaned a bit, though he knew what was inevitable. Still he didn't want to just lay down and die. Maybe it would be better if he just starved himself to death now. He was no good to anyone anymore anyway. "Look... I know what happens... to my people here... many of us have... died here... I'm not naive."

Hanguin looked at his roommate through his pain. There was something... unnerving about this young man.

Asher laughed. "Tchyeah. Pride. You an' me both."

With a sigh, Asher scooted backwardsn on his bed to lean against the wall, knees up against his chest. He tilted his head and let the back of his head thump lightly against the surface. "So. Yer skin. Natural or are the scientists here testin' more cosmetics or somethin'?"

"...well, it's been natural for generations... but... it was originally... caused by... testing on my people." Hanguin replied after a moment. "They don't do those... tests anymore... instead they..." Han's eyes closed. He was just so dizzy and tired... but he didn't want to sleep yet. He had to stay awake, he had to focus. Asher said it would be lunch soon, and then he could sleep after. Starving himself would be easy... but he didn't really want to die.

"...they use my people's blood to make... medicine."

"Medicine?" Asher made a face, lip curling with disgust. That was...actually pretty gross, the thought of bleeding people to use their blood in medicine and shit. Eugh. But also not surprising, considering what else TRIM did.

"The hell kinda medicine they--"

He cut off when the door to their cell opened and a guard stepped in, flanked by a second. "Lunch time, come on out," he said, waiting to escort them--or forcibly remove them if it came to it. Subjects on good behavior got to eat in the mess hall, while those on poor behavior got that privilege revoked and had to take their meals in the room.

Lately, Asher had been on okay behavior. Still mouthy as hell, but he hadn't tried to assault any scientists lately.

Hanguin was going to try and explain when the guard opened the door and interrupted Asher. Good, it was lunch time. Han swung his feet over the edge of the bed and tried to stand up, only to stumble and grab the foot of his bed before actually falling on his face. He tried to stand again but the room was spinning. He looked toward his roommate, his violet eyes silently asking for help.
