Thread: Killer Inside: A Repo! Roleplay (SevenxGoatse)

Eyes big, brown eyes surrounded by long lashes and filled with a worry and horror that should never have played across those features. A soft voice spoke in his ear, her hand caressed his face, and he could smell the rose shampoo she always used in her unruly, curly hair, Nathan. What have you become? Why are you doing this? Something jabbed him hard in the side, and Nathan's head snapped up from where it had been planted into the comforter, his face lined from the upraised pattern, his eyes bleary from exhaustion, his voice cracking from sleep, Marni? he rasped, trying to push himself up, but his head spun and he had to shut his eyes again, realizing what he was saying. There was another jab in his side, this one harder than the last, and he turned his head to the side then, opening his eyes once more and locating the source - there were big brown eyes looking at him, but they weren't Marni's. Dad? Shilo? What are you doing up? Nathan asked. What are you doing down? What? It's ten in the afternoon, dad. What ? Nathan repeated, sitting up and instantly regretting it as his head spun and the world tilted sideways, his body commanding that he go back to sleep, that he close his eyes and sleep away the rest of the day, because goddamn it, he was getting too old for this shit. I thought you were out, but I heard you - Shilo said, and she looked at him sideways for a moment, her mouth drawn into a thin line, an expression that looked too old for her, - you were screaming. No, you must have heard something else, Nathan replied, shaking his head and groping for his glasses, putting them on and they sat lopsidedly on his face, and he looked at his daughter with his hair sticking out in bizarre angles, having dried as he slept and giving him the appearance of having been electrocuted. I heard you, dad, you were screaming. Have you eaten, Shi? he asked, slowly crawling his way off the bed, which suddenly seemed too big and and too high as he tried to get his equilibrium back, Did you - I took my medication already. she said, Are you okay? I'm just fine sweetheart, Nathan said groggily, nearly toppling off the mattress before finally getting to his feet, I feel fantastic. Just had a long night, that's all. Okay, well, someone called. Nathan's head snapped towards her, Who? he asked sharply, Did you answer it ? No, I know better, dad. They left a message though, said something about a package to be delivered, is all. Are you sure everything is okay - It's fine . he said, and then eased his tone, putting his hand against the side of Shilo's face and kissing her forehead, It's fine, baby. I have to go, but I'll be back soon. We'll have a late lunch together okay? Shilo hesitated, then nodded, and Nathan left her standing at the landing while he dissappeared into the basement, angrily snatching up the package from the freezer. When he arrived at GeneCo, he opened Rotti's office with his boot, his expression twisted into one of rage as he hurled the jaw onto the desk in front of his boss, You called my house. he snarled, and Rotti gave him a small smile. Just a reminder, Nathan. he replied pleasantly, Wouldn't want you forgetting to complete your job. I always do - my daughter was awake, goddamn it , she might have - What, figured out what daddy does in his free time? Rotti said nastily, leaning back and lacing his fingers over his big stomach, raising his eyebrows at Nathan, who silently dropped his eyes to the ground with that done, Rotti continued on in a conversational tone, Did this one give you any trouble? No. Nathan replied, his fists clenching at his sides. Good. Here's your next one. Rotti said, tossing a file towards Nathan, who stared at it with wide eyes. Already? This is four in four days - It's been a busy few months, and you're going to do your job, or I can leave a slightly longer message next time. Nathan froze, and his eyes flashed for an instant, teeth bared - and then he gained motion again, taking the file and looking it over, his expression normal again. Fine. he said as he headed for the door, I'll have it soon. And i'll have another patient for you soon, Rotti replied promptly, and Nathan only paused for a second in the doorway, shoulders hunched, before continuing on. For a long time after, Rotti stared at the empty door, and then pulled a handkerchief out of his desk and mopped his suddenly damp brow, his bodyguards watching him carefully, always at the ready for anything. It was good to be king. And Nathan, he walked out of Geneco gripping the file but not looking at it again - he didn't want to know who it was right then. He didn't want to think about it, he just wanted to have lunch with his daughter.
