Mirror / all the swearing

[ace_of_hearts]

[Just in case things weren't bad enough already with the blood moon and Sanderson sisters, and kidnappings... Main Street erupts in a series of explosions. It turns out the sudden cold, rain, and blood moon with Ace's fire out of control, doesn't mix well with gross magic and booze mini-stills.]

Fuck fuck fuck shit fuck damn fuck sorry, don't-- [More explosions rocket off behind him.] Fuck.

I need... Shit I don't even know. Help maybe. I'd offer booze, but as you can see... [Winces as a high-pitched whistling shriek goes off and he frantically tries to get it to NOT EXPLODE.]

[....]

[...]

[Whew. At least one is safe. Maybe!!!] It doesn't like the weather. [It = Ace, actually. It's all Ace.]

Gross magic should be easier in a full moon, right? RIGHT?! Fuck everything.

[he'd gone out looking for help, because Rose and Eleanor had both told him if he ever got turned into something again, a Princess could fix it. but walking on toothpick legs was even harder than mouse legs, and it was wet, and this was the most awkward thing ever.

so while the explosions are going off, he's just standing under a shop awning a couple buildings down from the apartments, out of the rain.

it's hard out here for a Manwich.]

Aw, dammit, is that the booze?

[ace_of_hearts]

[Ace crouches down.]

[Ace stares.]

[And pokes the sandwich.] Am I hallucinating?

[He kind of wants to eat it anyway. Even if it's imaginary. Maybe he will get filled.]

[trashylittlesecret]

[cross as fuck, which means he probably sounds like a mix of Eddie and Stan, not his usual self]

No, Ace. It's Richie. New guy. That witch turned me into a fucking sandwich. I swear to Christ every time I open my mouth someone's turning me into weird-ass shit.

[one of the pieces of meat flops a little like a tongue as he speaks. at this point he'd almost rather Pennywise, but maybe that's the mozzarella between his googly eyes talking]

[ace_of_hearts]

[This does nothing to curb Ace's desire to eat him.]

[Don't eat friends.]

[DON'T EAT FRIENDS!]

[Ace just drools.]

[It's hard being a demon.]

[But he doesn't want to be Big Mam.]

[Okay. He chugs some booze and holds the bottle to Richie...] Can you drink like this? I could like... pour it on you I guess.

What the fuck else did you get turned into?

[Nope, pokes the sandwich.]

[HOW MUCH WOULD A NIBBLE HURT?!?]

[Okay, fine, probably a lot. Don't eat friends.]

Can you please desist?! Tie yourself up or something if you must! Things are quite bad enough! [he's already on edge and doesn't need any more of this]

[Video]

[ace_of_hearts]

Hey! Fuck you!!! I wasn't doing anything! This is NOT my fault! I already had the stuff brewing, it's the god damn rain!

[Video]

[blessedarethebookmakers]

[he snorts] So you say, but if anything important is caught inthe explosion, we're going to have a talk. I can promise you, you won't enjoy it.

[Video]

[ace_of_hearts]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh like I'm so fucking scared! Bring it on bitch-boy! Let's fight each other instead of the kidnappers! That's really brilliant!

( ... apparently this is gross magic. o k a y )

Are you saying that the rain is causing the explosions?

• video •

[ace_of_hearts]

Sort of.

[unladenswallow]

( it has to be asked... )

How?

[ace_of_hearts]

The rain cooled it down before it's ready and the moon makes it that I tried to fix it, buuuuut it explodes.

[a little bit later in the evening a large black white winged rabbit swoops out of nowhere and attacks his hat, which looks ever so much like an orange. Chomping into it with vampire sharp fangs and sucking does not produce the desired effect]

[ace_of_hearts]

[Ace just instantly tries to punch the bat(???????) and maybe toast it with fire. YAY FOOD! Stupid food too, so he doesn't even have to feel bad about eating it. Natural selection etc.]

[blessedarethebookmakers]

[he has good reflexes and leaps out of the way. But not without a snort and a few droppings in his wake. What a rude orange]

[ace_of_hearts]

[Well, now he's ticked.]

Don't shit on my hat, you stupid bat! [Attempts to beat up on it with his hat.]

[ A very large snake came slithering through the flames like they were nothing more than tall grass. ]

Antichrist and all... but do you think you might hold off helping those Witches end the world?

[Action]

[ace_of_hearts]

Hey, fuck you demon buddy! I'm trying to STOP things from exploding!

[Action]

[serpentinthegarden]

You aren't doing a very good job of it.

[ The snake exhaled slowly and the bonfire he was in dropped in height and cooled until it was out. There were still other fires out there unfortunately, Ace had been busy. ]

Get a hose?

[Action] 1/3

[ace_of_hearts]

NO SHIT!

[Whiiiines.] I said I needed help!

[Action] 2/3

[ace_of_hearts]

[Oh hey, help!]

[Ace bows low.] Thank you.

[Action] 3/3

[ace_of_hearts]

It's alcohol and magic so uh... [Points up to the rain.] Water's making it worse.

[not_so_different]

[Explosions? Missy is there!

She'd gotten bold this month. Venturing out of her room to explore a little, seeing what these monstrous eyes can see. Then the explosions start going off and it's like Christmas! She laughs, prancing and dancing down the middle of the street, seemingly unaware of the chaos going on around her.]

[ace_of_hearts]

[When things are a little settled, and Ace is pretty sure the still he's at isn't going to blow up literally in face...]

Are you okay?

[Affected by the witches? ONE OF THE WITCHES MAYBE?]

pay the manwich no mind

[trashylittlesecret]

[muffled, from Ace's pocket]

Dude, I'm pretty sure nothing is okay right now.
