Prompt: You encounter a large piece of machinery on the outskirts of Descoria...

[info]luut
[luut solo]

Luut's slumber was premeditated inexistence. He woke untethered to the fog of salubrious dreams, and immersed himself into the fog of his reality.

The sun rose over a city of people too concerned with themselves to be welcoming. A spectacle of pastels painted across the cloud-drifted skies of Descoria were too remarkable to be noticed, too fantastical to be remembered. In the early hours of that unimportant day, bustlers bustled on and hustlers hunkered down, now bereft their cover of midnight deception so ripped from them by the father of light.

Luut was a man who was ambivalent toward hours. Time, itself, was a necessary component to any living thing, but its implementation of increments served better to burden than it did to benefit. Not bothered by the perpetual notches every second of life sliced into his being, Luut found himself unconcerned with speed more than trajectory; he moved at many miles per who knew, feet per unconcerned, inches per it didn't matter. There lingered drive in the subconscious, and for the time being it was his own, though vague and not quite reliable. Breakfast had proved to be an unfulfulling mixture of oil and chemicals carefully concocted to prolong the consternation of the time he took no note of; it fueled the motion and made slick the mechanisms that perpetuated the sort of life he lived. Taste was a false luxury for those who counted seconds. )

Hunter, Gatherer.

[info]luut
[luut, stryder]

Even with the arrow in its flank, the buck kept darting through the tangles of vines that hung in its path and ricocheted its blood spattered body of moss-covered concrete slabs. The rubble clicked beneath its sharp hooves, leaving a wake of red ellipsis imprinted on the soft green overgrowth and the broken black asphalt. Above the fearful beast, a tangle of vines and misty cloud cover hid the skyscrapers that loomed impossibly high overhead.

A few echoes and bloodied stones behind, she followed. )

On Survival & Selfishness.

[toska, luut]

He came to her as the tide came called by the moon. The sun sank betwixt the jagged tops of skyscrapers sprung up from the wreckage of Descoria like a streak of sanguine slowly dripping across the domed arc of sky. Its fading light changed from blue to lavender while the whites of the clouds dotted across that swathe morphed into evening’s golden orange. The linings of those meteorological ministrations had shone as a mercurial fire to the west, sharp and bright like a freshly born blade that had yet to cool, slicing slivers of the atmosphere along their languid march into the night as they dutifully paid mind to the whims of a darker sky. Midnight colors settled across the dome of their planetary bell jar in a splash of stars; an innumerable collection of cosmic eyes staring upon the pitiful creatures planted well below their burning, blinking brightness.

He came to her as a fog comes creeping across moorlands. )

pixel spectres; box face

[info]of_dust
[ arjun . luut ]






In the old world built on the lightning backs of platinum men, there was a race to see who could pierce the sky with their needle buildings, to see who could bring man closest to the brink of heaven in their glass cages, their iron skeletons filled with concrete marrow.

Above the clouds somewhere, high up in their sky community of roosts and shelters, the prince resided in what was, at one point, likely an executive penthouse-- the top floor of the tallest building he could find. The roof of the government library he'd landed on when the city'd first fell was in eyeshot-- not that he recalled those memories anymore.

All he recalled was this. )

A Screaming Comes Across The Sky.

[info]luut
It was long ago that his understanding of natural things had been corrupted.

There was a city above the city, a habitat of blinking red beacons that had yet to succumb to the specter of electrical death, little dots that spoke to each other in a language unknowable to the consciousness-coveting minds of men. Structures of steel and iron raised their decaying claws into the sky, their glass skins picked apart and sold for pieces, glimpses of their shiny skeletons revealed in dissections whose purpose was not for science, a curiosity born of abject betterment and the hungered grasp for progression, but rather necessity. From a distance, the affliction looked like the spread of a human disease which ate the fire-tempered flesh away in gangrenous need, nuanced greed. These armatures hoisted those time-tuned signals into the unmitigated air, held them high above the clouds which served more as condensed recollections party to a lake-lady offering, as if the spears whose tips these flecks illuminated were beckoning swords imploring intervention from storied deities. )
