[Video/Action | OPEN] enemy of mine, I’ll fuck you like the devil

[ And here's Tannusen openly on the network, this time. And in glorious, full color video!

He looks... tired. There's a darkness to the skin under his eyes that isn't usually there, and a heaviness to his eyelids that isn't being affected, for once. ]

Hey, so, here's a question for everyone. Where do you get braile printed?

You know, the stuff with all the raised dots for blind folk to read.

xxxxxxxxxx[ACTION]

In person, Tannusen can be found at his bar, nursing a mug of tea. Jethro is parked indoors, which isn't actually all that strange for a regular to see. The motorcycle is positioned at the end of the bar, next to Tannusen's seat of choice, and the Faerie occasionally reaches over to pat it on the gauge shroud like one might with a pet.

[There's no excuse for this self-proclaimed night owl to be prowling the streets so late. Elatus honestly hasn't slept since he first arrived here in Genessia and probably won't sleep until his body finally gives away. So instead of settling indoors with a good book, the mage decides to wander aimlessly in search of anything that faintly reminds him of home. He was just idly passing by when a familiar aura caught his attention.

This aura emitted from a local bar he passed a few times during his earlier mid-day escapades. Curious enough to wander inside, Elatus apprehensively takes the first few steps inside. He peeks around the corner and spots a rather curious fellow seated by the bar with what seems to be a vehicle of some kind. Elatus watches him for a moment before turning his attention towards the sign near the stage.]

Velvet Lust? [He scrunches up his lips into a frown.] Sounds gaudy.

[black_black_heart]

[ The stranger hears him from the bar, somehow. Maybe the crowd's a little thinner than usual, tonight, or quieter, or maybe most of them have gone upstairs where the real fun is. ]

Gay bar naming conventions usually do.

[ He takes a sip of his tea, not turning to look. His usual purr is still there; it always is and has nothing to do with his mood. But shit, he even sounds tired. ]

It helps keep a lot of assholes out.

[ Don't be an asshole, Elatus. ]

[sixthmage]

[He nearly jumps once he heard the reply. Elatus didnt expect anyone to overhear his mundane mutterings. That's why he sheepishly scratches the back of his head as he whispers something akin to an apology on his part.]

I-I suppose in that case it's not so bad.

[He says with a slight chuckle. Clearly this is indeed a "gay" bar judging that most of the patrons here are men. However, Elatus honestly didn't think anything of it until now. Most establishments likened to this bar are often filled with men searching for a good hard drink.]

Just a little...tacky.

[Honesty is the best policy, no? Elatus means no harm.]

So, I'm assuming you don't see much trouble here.

[black_black_heart]

[ Look, Tannusen didn't even name the original. It's literally just how these places tend to be named, probably to keep the spaces mostly to themselves. ]

Not much trouble at all.

[ The tiger finally glances back at who he's speaking to, although there's a peculiar gleam to Jethro's headlight... had it been turned toward him when he'd walked in? Hard to say. ]

Tacky is upstairs, that's where all the glow-sticks and glitter is. You're a colorful fellow, aren't you?

[sixthmage]

[The mage gets a better look at Tannusen once the man turns to face him. The other doesn't seem half as "colorful" in appearance as he but that's a commonality Elatus lived with for awhile. He's an oddity with that shockingly blue hair and golden eyes. Elatus knows this quite well and isn't embarrassed to be called out on it.

At least not by much...]

Oh, yes. I did catch a glimpse of that...mess briefly.

[The club aspect upstairs is a bit too much for a timid felloe like him. He much rather enjoy the peace and quiet of the bar rather the obnoxiousness upstairs. Elatus fails enough at being social as it is.]

Quite colorful actually. [He grins some.] Beats the alternative, I say.

[He pauses briefly as he eyes the odd vehicle beside the bar. Did that thing just---]

You are the second person to want books in Braille, Bracken asked me to translate some books for a friend of his. You can find braille embossers in Nova City.

[And now that one quest has been asked...]

Are you not getting enough sleep?

[black_black_heart]

[ Look, if he has to read the trash that most of the books he stole from Szel are, he's going to make damn sure his notes on how shitty they are can be read by the fucking demon when he sends them back with said notes.

It's a matter of craftsmanship. ]

Nova, huh? Thanks.

[ He hadn't even known where to start looking, really. Thus, the post. ]

I'm getting enough.

[ Look, he's still functional. ]

[k2so]

[Kay would approve of such dedicated level of pettiness, let's be real.]

You are welcome. You could get yourself a computer that can do the coding and a printer that can do the embossing, and then just keep writing new things.

Your 'enough' seems to be the same as Cassian. Evidence suggest you are lying.

[black_black_heart]

Oh, that's a great idea. I should do that.

[ Not like he doesn't have mountains of disposable income that's going... nowhere, except back into his bar, now that he doesn't pay rent anywhere. ]

Well, what's your definition of 'enough'? I'm functional, just a little less pretty.

[sarcastass]

Those were reference books, you cannot check them out without a reference pass, first of all, second of all if there is a single bump on any of those pages I'm going to skin you alive and replace the damaged ones with that.

[black_black_heart]

You sound tense.

[ And Tannusen, well, he sounds far more amused than tired, now. ]

Is it because I took your favorite copies of twilight and fifty shades?

Honestly, I thought you had better taste than this. And how is this a reference book? What is it referencing?

Reference, my ass. I'll give you a reference. In a binder. On everything this tripe is getting wrong. In fucking braile. It may be thicker than the books themselves when I'm done.

Don't care if you read it or feed it to Hooty, it's the principle of the thing.

[sarcastass]

You try guarding a library for four billion years.

I have to find something to do.

It's a reference on modern human culture and current favored vices, not all demons can read surface languages.

[Translation: I got bored and this is the horse shit story I fed Beelzebub in order to get away with trolling library patrons]

I didn't pick them for their accurate content, do you know how gullible second level demons are?

[black_black_heart]

Anyway, you didn't have any signs up about a reference pass.

[ They both know that's bullshit and also not the point. Tannusen just happens to also not care. ]

Also your floor tiles are very bored. The books like you, though.

[moviemagic]

You look like you need a spa day, unless tiredness legitimately made you blind?

[She assumes anyway.]

In which case that sucks.

[black_black_heart]

Pretty sure at this point I could use a spa year.

[moviemagic]

Been through a lot of shit then? Must have been a hell of a lot for you to need a spa year.

[black_black_heart]

I wouldn't put it all into past tense just yet.

[ Sorry, Tannu. Dorian doesn't know you. Or, at least, he doesn't know that he knows you, which is just as well. He recognizes the man looks tired, but he also doesn't feel it's his place to pry.

That being said, that doesn't mean he doesn't have anything to comment upon.

He's reclining in a chair holding the device in one hand, and with the other, he slips a bookmark into a book he sets down and closes. The title, "Paths to the Afterlife in the Hindu Faith" can be seen briefly before he turns the camera to look toward the lens. ]

Someone developed a mode of writing readable by the blind? That's marvelous!

[black_black_heart]

Yeah, it's by feel. Raised dots in patterns representing different letters and the like.

[tevinteraltus]

Fascinating. I've never heard of such a place, unfortunately. The library does, however, seem to carry sound recordings of written works. Not certain how helpful that is.

[black_black_heart]

Well I was going to write notes for a blind man on the awful books I borrowed from him.

Rather actually write them than record them, I think.

[kobatonotdobato]

Eh?! You're blind and need the braile?

[Give her a moment. Two moments. Annnnnd...]

What's braile?

[black_black_heart]

Do I look blind?

[ Look, those pretty blue eyes are focused right on the camera. ]

Braile's print for blind people, raised bumps in patterns that represent letters. They run their fingertips over it.

[kobatonotdobato]

I don't know. I don't know what a blind person looks like eye wise.

[Was there a difference? They made it sound like there was, but she couldn't really say for sure.]

But how do they know what bumps are what letters?

[black_black_heart]

Unfocused, glassy, milky, usually not used to holding their eyelids open if they're fully blind.

And through practice, I assume. Like learning to read any new thing.

[ When you're not someone equipped with Naming, anyway. ]
