smokedout: They found a prince living behind bars ♪ (10 ♪ They look a little look at my heart)

[That's... very different from what he was expecting. TDD isn't unheard of - his medication is lab-tested, after all - but he doesn't think he's ever actually talked to anyone else that had it. It... does makes sense that it would exist in other worlds, though.

There's a moment where Dodger fails to keep the surprise off his face, the bright curiosity. And then he forces himself to look back at his book.
]

I'm not sure. [Almost the truth.] My memory's not very good. But it must have happened... three or four years ago? I don't think it happened all at once, just... a lot of little things.
smokedout: They come to find, all insane ♪ (9 ♪ They look a little look at my brain)

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-08-13 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
Repeated exposure, yes. But... not the other thing.

[He chews his cheek for a moment, trying to decide how much he can say without... what, admitting weakness? All of this is admitting a weakness.]

I used to know someone who could bend reality, and change how peoples' brains and bodies worked. I spent too long around him, and it fucked me up.

[This time he doesn't look up from his book.]

[Viktor does seem to have much more experience than most people he talks to. It makes him very curious, although he isn't exactly sure how to press further.]

That man is dead now, and the world's better off.

[He pauses for a moment, flipping through the book in his hands.]

Anyway, I... just wanted to see if I could find information about the other worlds I've seen. If this place has books on Earth, it's gotta have books on- Rapture, or Hell.

[Speaking those names did not feel good, and they come with flashes of memories that don't belong in his head. The ocean viewed through a giant glass, and a view of the sky as animal corpses rain down. The sounds of gramophone records and flamenco guitars. One of his hands moves up to his face in a practiced motion, stopping the blood from his nose from dripping onto the page.]

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-08-14 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[The questions give him pause. Not because he doesn't have a ready answer - more because Viktor's familiarity makes this feel like they aren't talking in hypotheticals.

But the answer is clear.
]

Yes. I would kill them.

[Maybe not even intentionally. His panic responses tend to be... disastrous.]

...And yeah, pretty often. My brain doesn't like remembering things that don't belong in it.

[It should clear up soon enough - now that he's not actively remembering. For now he keeps his nose covered, while he tries to thumb through his book one-handed. Another history book, from another world... but this one doesn't ring any bells.]
smokedout: I remove inhibition ♪ (29 ♪ I wait in intermission)

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-08-17 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[The 'sincerity' comment gets an amused snort. He isn't sure how to feel about it being appreciated, but he'll take it.

Dodger takes the book from Viktor and skims over the spot he'd been reading before flipping through aimlessly. He doesn't remember Hell, so he isn't sure exactly what he's looking f-

-a chill tends to set in during the fall festival. Vendors sell fruit wines and grilled pets to sinners-

Rather than just bleeding, Dodger's skin explodes in colors like a damaged VHS tape, flashing chunks of cyan, magenta and yellow. It only lasts a second at most, but Viktor will be able to catch glimpses of a red, devil-like tail behind Dodger, sharp fangs in his mouth and a gnarly scar on the left side of his neck that looks like something tried taking a bite out of him. And then it ends, leaving Dodger to slam the book closed and hold his nose closed to block a fresh bout of bleeding.

God, it hurts just as badly every time.
]

Yeah. Yeah, I think it is.
smokedout: And I know what he came here for ♪ (15 ♪ The devil is at my door)

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-08-23 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Dodger takes the scrap gratefully to block his nose, and sets the book aside in its own spot so he can try to read more of it later. Later, when he's actually taken his medication and he's less likely to react to it.

He honestly doesn't know how to feel about the reaction. It's uncomfortable, being studied and potentially giving weaknesses away, but he doesn't really get the sense that he's being judged. Or pitied, which was common enough from his doctor back home.
]

I can feel it, yeah... vaguely. Sometimes one of my eyes blinks out during those, that's a lot more... solid.

[It's always the right eye. He can't see through it anyway - just blurry shapes and dim lights - but it's uncomfortable to have it fully vanish during the shifts.]

I guess we got what we were looking for. But uh... we can keep rooting around, unless you wanna work on the next part of that bet.

[He could find more material, but that would likely come with more reality shifts and they don't feel great. At least he's confirmed that he can find the information he wants, which is huge.]
smokedout: So simple when I was younger ♪ (43 ♪ I stay empty - I feel the hunger)

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-08-25 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[It does sound like something that would work - might work, at least - but he still bristles while Viktor talks. He's touchy at the best of times with people rooting around in his head, and it's worst still with thoughts of Arzial on his mind. Worse enough that even the prospect of switching gears feels a little off, and his eyes narrow at the word potential.]

The man that did this to me trained plenty of potential into me.

[But that doesn't mean he's backing out. Once he's confirmed that his nose has stopped bleeding - and tried to wipe some of the remains out of his beard - he slips off of the table to lean uncomfortably close over Viktor's chair, one hand bracing against the back of it. That feels a little better that going straight to his knees. A little more like he's forcing his will, instead of submitting to yet another man with too keen an interest in him.]

How important is romance for you? Or would you rather I got straight to it?

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-08-25 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[There is some hesitation - the amusement is as frustrating as it is disarming, digging into the part of him that wants to be an intimidating figure as much as it soothes the part of him that wants Viktor to like him. And... he does soften a bit, even if his metaphorical hackles are still raised.]

Maybe next time, bud.

[When he isn't putting active effort into not thinking about traumatic memories, of a man who happened to really like going slow and romantic during his abuse. But there is going to be a next time, regardless of how this goes.

He hadn't actually been paying that much attention to Viktor's clothing - his gaze tends to stray to the metallic skin, even if he still hasn't asked about it - but he's taking in as much information as he can while he kneels down between the older man's legs. Figuring out if there's pants under that robe, or if he just needs to hike it up - either way his hands are abundantly gentle when he finally touches him, just sort of assuming that Viktor is frail enough to need that.

smokedout: Go on the date just to get the dress off ♪ (4 ♪ Oh yeah I'm a sexy mess)

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-08-26 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Dodger lets Viktor stop him, but just gives him a bemused look. This body is interesting, which is all he really needs to want to touch it. And the idea of wanting them both to enjoy themselves is... a little foreign. Not because he's unfamiliar with the concept, just because it's been a very long time since it was a real concern. Everyone's pleasure is their own problem, but voicing that doesn't feel particularly important.]

We'll see how I feel when I'm down there.

[But he does at least move a little more confidently. Dodger is super-humanly strong, and Viktor will likely still feel him holding that strength back, but he is at least not treating him like he's made of glass. Pushing that robe up, and taking a moment to examine the strange skin of his legs before leaning forward to mouth him through those undergarments.

This soon after a memory bleed, his mind is always a little more open to them, and he can feel another stray thought pushing up to the surface. A memory of skinny, warped legs resting on a bathroom floor... but he pushes that aside before it makes him bleed directly onto Viktor's crotch. There's more interesting things to focus on - like the feeling of that purple skin under his calloused fingers, and the slow exploration of what he sort of assumes is going to be a purple, metallic dick against his lips.

smokedout: And this soul can't help but connect it ♪ (38 ♪ And this beast is interjecting)

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-09-02 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[If anything, Dodger's interest seems to grow the more that he touches, and he nearly misses Viktor's comment - it just gets a huff of laughter in response. His focus is on admiring the texture of that odd skin, both with his fingers and with his lips. It's rough and hard, distinctly inhuman in a way that he fixates on without meaning to, and his fingers experimentally heat up to see if he can get a reaction from warming the golden metal of his thighs.

After a bit more teasing, he carefully pulls down Viktor's underpants, and his eyes sharpen with a sort of scientific focus when he finally gets to see that cock. It's rare for mutations to affect this area, but not something he hasn't seen before - and it's always exciting when he gets the chance to get up-close with one. But he doesn't go straight for it, instead running his lips over the skin at its base, licking along its underside and finally taking just the head into his mouth. And if he got a good reaction from warming Viktor's thighs earlier, he'll try it again now, heating any metallic bits of skin with his tongue.

[He can tell he isn't having as much of an effect as normal - Dodger is very proud of how good his mouth feels, and he's used to men falling apart almost immediately under his attentions. But he's having an effect, which stops him from doing more than just glancing up questioningly.

It does explain why Viktor thought this was worth betting on. For whatever reason, his skin can't feel much, although the heat seems to be helping. Dodger lowers his head, bobbing a few times experimentally... but that comment makes him comes back up immediately.
]

Clearly I'm not. [His gaze sweeps over Viktor's face, searching for... something. There's not quite concern in his expression, more like an analytical interest in solving the problem.] I can get rougher, if you think that'll help.

[He can suck harder, or bite him, or turn his heat up higher. It's been a while, but he has been with mutants who couldn't feel much and they tended to turn into real masochists.]

[personal profile] smokedout 2025-09-22 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He likes that sigh, at least. And Dodger pauses, thinking it over, but he presses a kiss to Viktor's inner thigh while he's coming up with a game plan. Or more accurately, just sort of rests his lips there for a moment.]

Alright. We can try that.

[He isn't sure how to feel about treating it like a scientific study. But he doesn't mind, exactly. So he goes back in, seeking out one of those veins of metal with his tongue and heating it again. Slowly, watching for a moment where he gets a real reaction out of him - whether from pleasure or pain - and ready to stop immediately if he ends up going too hot. But he isn't afraid to hit a temperature that would normally burn, if he needs to.]
