( OPEN ) i'm running out of time

Who: Trevor Belmont and you!
When: The day/night before and night of the full moon
Where: Aefenglom
What: An assortment of interactions with Treffy leading up to the full moon where his bloodlust finally becomes too much to handle.
Warnings: Swearing, Trevor being Trevor, moments of panic, possible blood drinking. A mixed bag really.


01-a. i'm going through withdrawals. ( the day before )
[ The blizzard might have taken a hike but all this snow sure as hell hasn't and Trevor's had to stop for the fourth time to take his one boot off and smack it against the nearest wall to rid the inside of snow that's managed to somehow get in there.

He has his fluffy cloak wrapped around him but it's not like he needs it that much what with his body temperature slowly but surely dropping like the weather's. The hood's up, though. The sun or brightness of the sky doesn't cause him any pain but it sure as hell makes him feel tired a lot faster. So, the hood's up while he's out like this. But it's another day in this godforsaken place and another day of having to deal with the shitty hand he's been dealt here and he somehow keeps getting snow in his stupid boot??

Annoyed, he hurls his boot in a fit of stupid anger and stands there. On one leg. Hand against the wall he'd been smacking his boot against. Missing a boot.

Yeah.

Luckily it didn't go too far? So with a bit of a hop, he pinches the bridge of his nose. Just... take a deep breath. ]


Hey. Could you- pass me that? Didn't mean to chuck it all the way over there.

[ Except he sort of did??? ]


01-b. the city's cold and empty. ( the day before )
[ Wandering the snow-covered city during the day hours has caused Trevor to drop himself under the first tree he finds and just. Lay there. In the snow. Wrapped up in his fluffy cloak. Dozing off. Just like that. The day exhausts him the more he's out in it, even with overcast skies and with feeling even more drained than he normally does he just decides fuck it. A tree has always been good enough for him for a napping spot.

Arms crossed, legs stretched out, maybe he can sleep this off. Until he hears someone or something close by(??) and grumbles to himself, though doesn't bother to open his eyes or move at all. ]


Scram. Get your own tree.


02. i'm drowning in the night. ( the night before )
[ Finding Trevor holed up in whatever bar or tavern he's managed to find for himself on an evening like this is just another day that ends in y, really. He's near the back of the place, table to himself, large glass of whatever ale he's taken a liking to for the night nearly half finished, and about two or three bowls of snack food around him which he continues to pop into his mouth about every three seconds or so. Needless to say, doesn't take him long to finish those off.

Beneath the table, his leg bounces, teeth chewing on the pad of his thumb and eyes looking both wide and concerned about something. About someone. About him. He's starting to think that maybe coming here was a bad idea. Something inside him feels unsettled. But if he can distract himself with the snacks and drinks, maybe he can fool himself into thinking it's all in his head? It's stupid but that mind over matter shit is a thing, right?

So, hope you don't mind a desperate Trevor leaning over to your table and reaching for whatever drink or food you have there. ]


You're not going to finish that, are you? So... let me take that off your hands for you. Thanks.


03. when i'm like this you're the one i trust | full moon (blood)lust.
[ It starts with what can be described as hunger pains when he wakes. Must have forgotten to eat yesterday. But as fingers clutch tight at his chest, his mind spirals into a panic at what this sudden pain is. Thirst. He's thirsty and it's not for a cold beer. It's for something warm. Something dark and flowing through the veins of every living creature around him and he can hear it. Their heartbeats. Thump. Thump. Thump. The blood pumping from their hearts and flowing through their veins. It's loud like running water and it hurts not only within the center of his chest, but down his throat as well.

Trevor's out the door and in the snow. Eyes wide, fingers trembling as they clutch the center of his shirt. Shit this is a sort of pain he's never quite felt before and he honest to god has no idea if he can fight this until the full moon passes.

He stumbles in the snow, trying to get away from the general populace in hopes that it might lessen the pain, lessen everything that he feels and hears. He goes to take his whip from his side as a means to catapult him over the buildings, but it hurts and he swears under his breath as he drops the Morning Star to the snow. Shit. It's down the alley he goes, stumbling against stone walls and fighting through the snow as he hurries, pulling himself along the walls. ]


Get out of my way- move!

[ Anyone in his way he narrowly avoids, pushing them aside with his shoulder or even shoving them down to the ground as he takes off. Faster. Harder. He needs to get away from everyone. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

He trips over his own feet and stumbles into the snow, rolling down a hill and smacking into a tree. Everything hurts, but it's not from his fall. It's from what he denies himself, what the full moon tries to convince him that he needs. Scrambling, a shaky hand clutches at the tree and he kneels there, crouched over, trying to breathe when his throat feels as though it's closing up on him almost. He can't do this. There's no fucking way he can hold off when he feels as though he's burning from the inside. ]



(( Trevor's first dealings with bloodlust! o/ feel free to shoot me a PM or PP ourselves on plurk if you'd like to discuss anything/set something up with him. c: ))

[ Berserker is nearby when he hears the sudden smack into a tree. Well, there goes his peace and quiet -- he likes to isolate himself on a full moon from his Bonded as an attempt to keep them safe. Even if it's freezing out here and he's fucking miserable because of it, he'd rather be further away from those he cares about if something sets him off as badly as the mists did last month.

Well, the noise does get him to move and take a few cautious steps closer to the tree. He recognizes the lump at the base of it, though he makes no move to approach any further. The full moons do things to monsters, after all. ]


... I would ask if you're alright, but I know you're not.

[She does start to call out to Trevor as she sees him coming her way, but barely opens her mouth before he's shoving past her. Where on earth is he going in such a hurry?

Through a snowdrift. And down a hill. And into a tree.

Oh dear. Without thinking, she's hurrying after.]


Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?

[She reaches out a hand to help steady him. Hopefully he isn't hurt too badly.]

Trevor?
curruid_coinchenn: (i can almost sense)

[personal profile] curruid_coinchenn 2019-12-05 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
You're a bad liar.

[ He takes a few steps closer, still maintaining a little bit of distance between them. The dragon's on edge, though it doesn't show beyond the way his fists are clenched. ]

You have to stop fighting it. [ His voice softens just a little bit. ] It'll only get worse the more you fight it.
beautyisthebeast: (mildly irritated)

[Marianne flinches back as her helping hand gets smacked away. He clearly doesn't want her around, and really who could blame him? She probably should leave. But...]

You... you don't look fine.

[He looks like he's in pain. And there's no way she could just turn away. She takes a tentative step closer.]

Please... let me help you.
curruid_coinchenn: (the hunt is what defines us)

[personal profile] curruid_coinchenn 2019-12-05 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Berserker would call him on that little fact, but now is not the time -- at least he recognizes that for once instead of making the situation markedly worse.

Another step closer and he decides to kneel down in the snow. There's no sense in pushing this further; he's not trying to intimidate Trevor or get into a fight. He's helping in the worst way he knows how. ]


It doesn't matter if you want to or not, you can do nothing to change what's happening... [ If here were capable of sounding sympathetic, it would go here. However, he's not -- he speaks in the same quiet apathy as ever. ] None of us wanted what's happened to us.

[ His own changes were exceptionally painful; not traumatizing, but painful. The mental changes made him lash out and nearly attack people he would have never considered harming. It's been a less than pleasant experience all around. ]
beautyisthebeast: (looking down)

['I don't want to hurt you?' Oh that's a big red flag, isn't it? But he's obviously in so much pain.

Too worried about him to leave and too nervous to move closer, she settles for wringing her hands anxiously.]


I....

[And Trevor certainly has a point. Can she really help him? After a moment, she concedes with a sigh.]

Maybe not. I'm not usually much help to people.

[More often the opposite. For all she knows whatever is happening here is her fault too. And yet she still gathers up her courage.]

But... but if you tell me what's wrong, then... I could try...?



I'd like... to try...
curruid_coinchenn: (how fast it is beating)

[personal profile] curruid_coinchenn 2019-12-05 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ They do have an understanding of sorts. Berserker has trouble calling anyone a friend, even those he's closest to. It's a difficult thing for him to grasp when people used to fall solely into two categories: allies and enemies. Trevor is, at least, in the ally category.

Berserker's eyes narrow as his lip curls back in a snarl to show his teeth. The irritation passes quickly and the apathy settles back in on his expression. ]


If that's what you truly want, I will kill you. [ It's what he's good at. He doesn't like doing it because it grew boring, but he will still do it. ] But what do you think that will do? Maybe I'll only hasten your complete transformation...But if you really crave death so badly, I will give it to you.

[ Not out of mercy (because he has no mercy to spare for anyone), but out of annoyance and curiosity. Trevor's self-pitying behavior is grating on his nerves and killing him would stop it. ]

[personal profile] curruid_coinchenn 2019-12-05 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Empathy is not an emotion he's familiar with, but it's sure come back in him with a vengeance lately. He doesn't recognize it as such, rather he recognizes it as a discomfort inside of him when he sees people he cares about to some extent in distress. It's weird and unwelcome and it makes his stomach sink and his chest hurt.

Berserker can only give him a nod as he sits down in the snow now. He's freezing cold, yet that problem is sitting at the back of his mind right now. His only focus is...helping someone. How the fuck did he get here? ]


I will stop you if I have to. Remember my offer...

[ That's...probably just throwing gasoline on the fire and he expects Trevor to lash out at him for it. ]
beautyisthebeast: (wistful)

[personal profile] beautyisthebeast 2019-12-05 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Marianne lets out a soft gasp and her hand flies to her mouth. It's not shock or surprise, but genuine sympathy. Because she does hear it in his voice. That bitterness and anger and complete hatred of what he is. What he's become. She knows, just a little bit, what that feels like.

Bearing the cursed crest that has haunted her family for generations. The thing that took her parents from her, causes misfortune to follow her every step, that might turn her into a demonic beast at any moment...

No, it isn't exactly the same, but it's similar enough that she doesn't give him any platitudes. Doesn't mention that there are a lot vampires in the city. Or remind him that there are other ways in place for them to get blood. This would be the place where most people would tell him 'it's going to be okay' or 'you're stronger than this.'

Marianne is not most people.]


That's... I'm so sorry...

[But there's a different note to the apology this time. This isn't her habit of accepting blame for everything bad that happens. No, this sorry comes from her heart aching with sympathy. It's... hard to be afraid of yourself.]

Trevor... would it help to go somewhere private? Less chance of people wandering by...

[She knows what vampires are, certainly, but she's hardly an expert. So if it seems like she's floundering for ideas... she is. Just a little bit.]

And... maybe something warm to drink? Do you think that might help ease the.. the pain for a little bit?
beautyisthebeast: (rusrs?)

This took a left turn right off the rails and I'm sorry.

[personal profile] beautyisthebeast 2019-12-05 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
I know...

[He's a kind person. He wouldn't want to hurt anyone. And.. she doesn't want him to have to.]

I can't even imagine how much it must hurt and you must be so scared and.... and that's why I can't just leave you alone.

[Okay, so a warm drink is probably a bad idea if it will only remind him of the thing his body really wants. Something else then. But what? There must be something. Think, Marianne!

Just when she's about to give up, a thought comes to her.]


Could I... tie you up?

[That probably came out wrong.]
curruid_coinchenn: (one to walk away)

[personal profile] curruid_coinchenn 2019-12-05 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Every fiber of his being screams at him to fight Trevor, to throw him off and attack him. Long ingrained survival instincts tell him to fight or he'll die. Berserker grunts as he's shoved into the snow, putting his hands up against the vampire. He doesn't push him off, just braces himself. It keeps a little bit of distance between them, enough that it gives him a chance to stop him if he has to.

Sharp fangs sink into his neck and his whole body tenses; the tension makes his blood flow that much faster. His tail thrashes like he wants his whole body to. He grabs at Trevor's shirt as he fights the urge to throw him off. No, instead...he submits. It's easier if he submits right now. The tension leaves him, his grip on his shirt relaxes, and he turns his head to make it easier for him to feed. ]
beautyisthebeast: (contemplating)

[personal profile] beautyisthebeast 2019-12-05 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
How much stronger?

[She's not willing to let go of the idea completely yet. Because really she knows next to nothing about vampires. They drink blood and are possibly nocturnal? Bats might be related somehow?]

Rope might not work, but... would a chain? Or would locking you in a room and barricading the door be better?

[There's something surreal about standing in the snow and calmly suggesting ways to tie a man up that is actually making it harder for her usual nervous negativity to surface.]
curruid_coinchenn: (one of us the victor)

[personal profile] curruid_coinchenn 2019-12-05 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ It feels...good. He hates that it feels good. His eyes flutter shut as Trevor feeds on him. This should be making him panic and fight, but it's just making him docile. He parts his lips as a quiet sigh escapes him.

Fight it, part of him screams, but he doesn't. He lies mostly still beneath Trevor as he feels himself growing weaker. It's time to put an end to it, though, before this goes too far. Berserker's eyes snap open suddenly. ]


Trevor. Stop. [ Loud and firm. A warning before he tears the vampire off him. ]
