Thread: Grave Matters: A Repo! Roleplay (SevenxKawamura)

Rotti didn't need to look up from his papers to know who was standing on the other side of his desk a small pile of frozen organs landed just by his hands, Nathan, Rotti said pleasantly, looking up and finding himself almost taken aback by the sight of the other man as usual, Nathan was dressed in a crisp, clean suit, his hair carefully arranged - but his face was drawn, thinner than usual, and his eyes were lined with a sort of crazed sleeplessness just behind the thick frames of his glasses. He was presently lurking near the desk, leaning his hands onto it in a way that displayed precisely how exhausted he was, and a closer inspection told him that the side of Nathan's face was bruised. Just behind him, Rotti could see Luigi watching - his oldest son had always had a strange respect for the Repo Man, and he suspected it was due to the fact his son saw a kindred spirit, a killer just like him - and Amber was lingering nearby, her eyes half-lidded, lined with heavy make-up, and she was looking at Nathan like he was a vial of Zydrate. You're looking a little rundown. Rotti added, and Nathan said nothing, simply stared at him with his mouth pulled into a thin line, clearly unamused, Why don't you have a seat. You look like you had a good night. Luigi quipped, laughter evident in his nasal voice, but it was in such a way that he sounded as though he wished he'd been there for it. He'd seen Nathan Wallace kill before it was a thing of beauty. And Amber slipped up behind Nathan, chewing on her bottom lip she was clearly high, because she began to run her fingers through his hair, and he had to shrug her off irritably, trying to ignore the lingering sensation of warmth on his skin, too tired and too angry to deal with the Largo children and their disturbing habits. How many more, Rotti? he asked. It's been a busy month, Nathan. Rotti replied, lifting his shoulders in a shrug, and he looked pointedly at the heart and kidneys, But you clearly did just fine, after all, you took down that goliath. How many more? he repeated, and his voice had changed in a way that made Luigi sit up, his interest piqued. Rotti gave a long-suffering sigh, and reached into his desk, removing another file folder, which Nathan took silently he turned then, and nearly ran into Amber, who didn't seem to mind right then, watching him through her fake eyelashes as he moved around her. Luigi gave him one of his horrible, crooked smiles, See ya at the next drop off. Luigi chortled, and Nathan left GeneCo feeling vaguely dirty from standing so close to the Largos, still trying to shake off the feeling of fingers in his hair. He was disgusted by the entire Largo family, including Amber Sweet, but her touch was lingering in a way that disturbed him, and he knew it was because of how long it had been since that sort of thing had happened. Not since Marni. He had barely even considered it since Marni. He slept on the couch again, face down with his arm hanging over the side, and more unusual, he dreamt. He dreamt about killing a man, tearing his chest open, and finding him filled with an overflowing pool of glowing blue Zydrate that spilled out over his hands, and he dreamt that the Graverobber was watching, his dark lips stretched in that same smile as he waited for the Repo Man to finish with the carcass. And in the dream, he stood, and discovered that he was standing only in darkness, there was nothing around them but darkness, and the body was gone, leaving only a spreading pool of zydrate, and he found himself stepping away from it as it reached for his boots - - something prodded him hard. Nhmgh? Nathan burbled, and his head snapped up from the couch, and he found himself looking at a worried Shilo - he hated seeing that expression on her face. He was supposed to be the one who worried about things, not her, I'm fine precious. Are you going out again tonight? she asked. Yes, I have to see two patients - I'm sorry Shi. It's been a busy month. It's okay dad, your patients need you too. Shilo said, patting him comfortingly on the shoulder before moving past him, and Nathan watched her and felt his heart break a little.
