kissthatgoodbye: (Mirror Mirror)

[personal profile] kissthatgoodbye 2015-06-20 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
The problem with following madmen, Leck always knew, was that eventually you'd get swept up in it too; he'd thought he'd had a pretty good handle on where the line was, on just how mad to act himself to avoid being shunned without actually giving into it. The problem with that is that by the time he realized he'd edged out over said line, there was no room to go back. On the other side of a sandstorm from hell, too far away from the Citadel to have any kind of appreciable hope of making it back alive, no cover to explain himself if the others made it back, and nowhere to go as far out into the wilderness of nothing as they'd gone, Leck had had to stay with the Immortan on his wild goose chase. He'd compromised, staying back in the pack, not far enough back to draw notice or to get picked off by the raiders stupid enough to come in close, but nowhere near the front of the pack where everyone else was squabbling for glory.

It was this tactic that had saved him. He'd started out with another warboy on his rig but when one of the rebels had managed to pick him right off the top, Leck had jumped on the chance to keep everyone else off, so it was just him when the world exploded in front of them. It was just him to be witness to the way he scrabbled out the door of that landlocked death trap and jammed himself under a rock shelf, just himself to worry about as the ringing left him mostly deafened and thick black smoke rolled out of the ruins of Immortan Joe's ramped up army.

It took them two days to stop fighting each other like rabid animals, those who were left; Leck stayed where he was, waited to see who would come out on top, who would remain when the others dispersed. All three factions now leaderless still found it easier to cling together with those they knew, and though several more died that did not in the explosion, there were enough left to scavenge through the wreckage, to trail off back the way they'd come, as lost and insane as they had been going in. Leck stayed where he was, and when it was just the feverishly, insanely loyal still scrabbling at the rocks now blocking their way, he slid out into the world again and began looking for a way to survive himself. None of the factions - not Bullet Farm, or Gas Town, or the remaining Citadel zealots - appealed to him anymore. He already knew where he was headed, if he could find a way where the rest of them hadn't.

He had faith in himself to do exactly that, and more than that - despite how weak the pursuit had left him, the injuries he'd barely noticed when his rig had flipped on him, and the fact that he had no supplies whatsoever and no time to scour for them - he had no choice. He needed to follow the rogue Imperator and Warboy, the Wives, and the bloodbag, back to the Citadel.

There is, when he climbs to the top of the rock pass that no car will ever drive through again, up inclines that no human can scale, enough space for a desperate transgenic to wedge themselves through. Leck does not dare think of himself as desperate, but that's exactly what he does: he wedges himself through and, half-tumbling and half-dropping down the other side, has no idea what he's expecting now. To land, he supposes. To scrape himself back up and start walking, he supposes. Anything more than that he'll just have to make up as he goes along.
iamawaited: (we're going in)

[personal profile] iamawaited 2015-06-20 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true that the pass is impenetrable for any human now. It's either very lucky or very unlucky for Nux that the war rig made it through before the rocks fell. Lucky, because it's the only reason he survived both the crash and the chaos that followed on the other side. Unlucky for the same reason; he had once again lived when he'd meant to die, and the gates stay closed to him for a fourth time.

He doesn't actually know how long it's been or what's happened since. He knows he wakes up in a blaze of pain to the sound of screams and howls from somewhere far away, but not far enough. He comes to understand eventually that he's still in the cab of the ruined war rig, half-pinned under the crumpled seats. When he manages to extricate himself, he finds out that one arm is broken and that his legs still work, but not very well, and then that he is very, very thirsty.

He manages to drag himself over to the leaking remains of the tanker. The Mother's Milk smells sour and spoiled, and the water tank behind has torn in two and poured itself almost entirely out onto the sands. He crawls into one half and scoops the meager, brackish remnants into his mouth with his working hand until he feels a little less desperate.

It's then that he hears the crumbling sound of rocks falling nearby. He stiffens, peering out over the side of the tanker's hull. A War Boy, he realizes, and recognizes him a moment later -- Leck. He shifts back, meaning to stay clear, but his boot scrapes loudly against the rusting metal.
kissthatgoodbye: (True Blue)

[personal profile] kissthatgoodbye 2015-06-20 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Leck doesn't know what he expected when he came over the pass - he hadn't been close enough to the front to really see what happened, he'd just reacted - but it's occurred to him that there might still be enemies around. There always might be enemies around, waiting for the Citadel war party to finish itself so the wreckage can be overturned for anything salvageable; and longer than that. He is as alert as he can be as he makes his nearly graceless way down the other side, which isn't much, but it's something.

He feels lightheaded and dizzy when he pushes himself to his feet, and for a moment he wonders if he imagined the sound; there's the rogue war rig, overturned and torn asunder, and no bodies on this side that aren't partially buried under the gas-fire blackened rubble. There's no one left alive except for him, now, and for a moment he thinks about sitting down in the shade and trying to rest after the physical exertion of climbing. He's overheated, he knows, and dehydrated, and the gash down his left flank pulls painfully under the poor tourniquet of his cannabalized vest; but he heard it. He's sure of it by the time he turns down the option to rest, and then he's sure of where it came from.

"I'm armed!" he calls, voice thin but steady; he is armed, though it's only with a two inch utility knife. One hand pressed over the fabric at his side he stands steady, starts walking, because only a madman moves towards a threat when he knows he can't take it down.

Only madmen are left, though. His eyes stay fixed on the edge of the tanker.
iamawaited: by me (war boy)

[personal profile] iamawaited 2015-06-21 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"So am I," Nux snarls; knows, painfully, that he's bluffing. He should have taken Furiosa's bloody gearstick-shiv with him, but the thirst and the pain had driven him to too much distraction. He presses his back against the inner wall of the tanker and looks around, trying to spot anything that might serve as a weapon. Nothing, really. He picks up an errant rock with his good hand, anyway.

It will occur to him later that he's ready to fight for his life, and how very strange that is. Not fighting for a chance to die a better death, but to live long enough to go home if he can manage it. What a strange idea for a sick, broken War Boy.
kissthatgoodbye: (Anger)

[personal profile] kissthatgoodbye 2015-06-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
It is a strange thing to want, which is perhaps why Leck would never have fit in with the war boys, because it is all he has ever wanted. Not the home part, maybe, because he doesn't know what that even looks like really, but the only thing he has ever had to fight for is his life. That is what he does. That is what he is doing right now, the only way he knows how, as slim a chance as that is and it has already started. This is just one more obstacle: some voice lifting out of a shelled out war rig, which happens to be between him and the way he wants to go.

He stops a few yards from it, plants his feet so he doesn't sway, and fixes his gaze on the top edge of the tanker. His throat is painfully dry, and he can smell moisture up there, and part of him wants to go wild just to get to it; he keeps it in check. It's not important. What's important is getting past, winning the longterm, not giving in to the short. This is what he tells himself.

He does not recognize Nux's voice. He barely recognizes his own. "Get out here and prove it." Better to know what he's fighting now, than try to slip by and end up shot in the back. One step at a time. This is the next one.

Andrew tries to lose himself in Mikhail's touch too, tries to push everything down in his mind and just focus on the brush of Mikhail's fingertips running through his hair, stroking his cheeks while they kiss like he wants to memorise every tiny detail of his face's contours by feel. It's harder now than he thought it would be when he haltingly asked Mikhail to stay, to go further. He hadn't really known the extent of the damage the other Andrew had done to Mikhail's body when he asked. He'd thought it would be easier but now--

Mikhail's exploring him and Andrew kisses him back - taking it slow, yes, but desperate too - opening his mouth to yield to Mikhail's tongue and let him make it deeper when he wants to. Andrew wants to be breathless, wants to be dizzy and lost in the taste of Mikhail's mouth and the warmth of him and the feel of their bodies pressed together. It's just that he's not sure how much he should touch him when he's afraid the touch of his fingers on Mikhail's raised scars is going to break them out of this moment, so his hands don't really stray too far from where he's got one curled around the nape of Mikhail's neck and the other out with his thumb hooked into the waistband of Mikhail's jeans.

Being looked at that way - stared at like he's special, like Mikhail is awed or overwhelmed by him - makes Andrew uncomfortable, a sensation like his skin crawling and the urge to shudder. He's not special like that, not really. He's here as an inmate, here because he loses control and does shitty, terrible things. He wants to be as good as Mikhail thinks he is or has the potential to be but--

It's just hard to believe he ever could, and Andrew stares back, almost frozen, panting slightly, wanting to say something but unsure what he could possibly say. Fortunately, Mikhail doesn't wait for him to speak, leaning back down to kiss him again. At least the kissing is easy enough. He knows what to do with that instead of feeling lost and unworthy. This kiss is deeper, more urgent, and Andrew feels a warmth spreading through him, soothing his doubts and fears. The brush of Mikhail's fingers on his bare skin as he tugs at the hem of his shirt hones that warmth, condenses it. The kiss goes on for a little longer then Andrew's hand shifts enough to push Mikhail back enough that he can speak, mumbling against Mikhail's mouth.

"Here, wait, lemme--" He shifts back so he can pull his shirt off over his head and toss it aside. There are scars on him too, ones that Mikhail won't have seen on the other Andrew: burn scars on his arms and neck and a large knot of scar tissue at the base of his sternum.

And if we ever find that hand...

Day Six: The warm front continues west and so do we. Unfortunately, I hadn't predicted the degree to which one interferes with the other. To wit, we are now stranded in the snow. Ray has expressed skepticism that this has anything to do with unseasonably warm weather when, as he puts it, "I'm never going to feel warm again." He is not currently interested in meteorological discourse on the subject.

Regardless, here we are: relatively safe, but very much trapped for the time being. I've let the dogs loose for now and Ray and I have found our way to a rocky outcrop under which to pass the time. We are--


Fraser winces as his elbow jostles Ray mid-sentence. "Sorry, Ray," he says around the flashlight in his mouth. He shifts, trying to angle his lap away to continue writing without disrupting his partner again.

[personal profile] poetontheinside 2016-01-09 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ray is huddled up in three ginormous coats, underclothes, thermal underwear and he's still cold enough that he can't hold his pemmican- let alone a pen. And Fraser is still writing in his diary (which, hah, but Ray isn't exactly gonna call him a little girl when Ray is definitely counting on him not being one right now), looking like there's nothing wrong.

"I don't understand," he starts, through gritted teeth because the alternative is 'chattering' and that's worse, "why you're insisting on writing that. I know I ain't the best company right now, but shouldn't we, I dunno, do something?"

To get out of here? Anything?
themountie: (rude)

"There's not much we can do until the snows pass, Ray," Fraser points out, ever-patient. "And this journal remains an important historical record of the journey. If we make it to the end, we'll want to be able to share our path with other adventurers. And-- well, if we don't make it, then the people who find us will know who we are and why we're out here."

He hesitates, glancing over at Ray. "Not that I think that's terribly likely," he adds quickly, then clears his throat, adopting a hasty grin. "I think it's far more likely that we'll be able to use this to look back on this part of the trip and laugh someday."

"I don't like that," he points out, though he doesn't actually point-- his hands are wedged firmly underneath his armpits for additional warmth that they're hardly delivering.

"I don't like that, Frase. You wanna be honest, be honest at Dief- with me, a word of advice? A tip from me, your friend the popsicle? You just lie."

He gives him A Look. "You know I can't do that. Least of all to you." The laugh someday had been a bit of a deflection, it's true, but not actually a lie. He's already calculated the odds of serious danger, and he feels relatively satisfied by them for the time being.

"Besides," he adds airily, "Dief is off hunting with the rest of the dogs. I'll fill him in when he's eaten." He adds another quick note to the journal.

utselet: (so they won't forget)

[personal profile] utselet 2016-01-22 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
California turns out to take some getting used to. For one thing, it's abominably hot, the air painfully dry. She has to get a whole new wardrobe to accommodate -- but then again, she had to do that anyway, because she can't be seen wearing her old clothes, living anything like her old life. She doesn't get to keep anything about herself: not her things, not her name; they even coach her on toning down her accent a little, although there's no getting rid of it completely at her age.

What do you want to be called? they ask. Anna, she tells them. And by the next day, Nina Sergeevna Krilova is gone and Anna Denisova -- we don't do that three-name shit here, someone tells her bluntly -- uses her new papers to sign the lease on her new LA apartment, uses her new credit card to buy herself some California clothes, uses her fake references and her fake resume to score herself a receptionist job in some law office.

It's a far cry from being one of the KGB's highest-ranked junior members, she knows. She also knows it's a much farther cry from the gulag or execution, and so she works like hell to settle into her new life.

Lark knows a suspicious story when he sees one bit Anna's is the best he's seen. Good enough to make him wonder if he isn't just hoping there's something amiss with her.

Baron, a tall and thoroughly American quarterback sort of man, is the one to show her around. She will be working for Mr Tenant primarily, but she should never forget that Baron and Con and Cutter sign her paycheck, too.

Her first assignment is filing. Her second is lunch for the boss. All the while, panicky, angry clients call.

Of course, none of this comes close to the stress she left behind in DC, or even the stress she still carries with her, wondering if, when, the KGB might catch up with her. She sails through the first day's work, incredibly friendly and personable, entirely impersonal. She's a professional, she implies: she keeps her private life private.

The only time she wobbles is when one angry client catches the hints of Russia still lingering in her voice -- those gliding vowels, the trill on her rs -- and lights into her for it. She puts him on hold, takes a few deep breaths, and then very calmly calls Mr. Tenant and tells him that there's a client who wants to speak to an American, and won't seem to believe that she is one. "Even when I offered to tell say Pledge of Allegiance," she says wryly, if a little unhappily.

Lark takes the phone and speaks quietly with no hint of impatience. The only thing he finally says with any hint of irritation is, "Perhaps we should meet tonight. Just the two of us."

A pause, and then Lark offers the phone to Anna. "He wants to apologize to you. Teach him how to say it in Russian. If his accent is bad, tell me."
utselet: (leave something to remember)

[personal profile] utselet 2016-01-22 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
She blinks at him, surprised, but she takes the phone back without a word of protest and returns her attentions to Mr. Patriotic. "Proshu proshsheniya," she says, and then pauses, waiting for him to repeat it.

When he does, she shoots a glance at Lark, a hint of a smile touching the corners of her lips as she wonders, quite obviously, if she should rat him out. Instead, she says, "Thank you, sir. That's kind of you to say," with perfect if cool politeness, and hangs up with a quick goodbye.

"And thank you," she adds, turning back to Lark, looking a little sheepish. "I'm sorry about that."
