Who: Skwisgaar the Elder and Lulu
What: Clothes reclamation... at first
Where: Mini-Mordhaus, London.
When: This morning
Warnings: Ohhhhyeah.

Skwisgaar was up early. Or up still. One could never really tell with the guitarist, who'd ushered Henrietta out the door only an hour previous. He had a rather fun night with the bartender-slash-law student, and had quite literally lost track of the time. Birds were chirping, the sun was up, and he had yet to even see his bedroom that night. He went up the stairs and saw a note tacked to his door in his own handwriting and read it - it was in Swedish, so it was a good giveaway that the Younger had written it.
And then he rolled his eyes. Lulu was expected to come over at any moment and he was still awake. He raked a hand through his hair, put in another set of contacts and wandered down to the main room, where the redhead and his husband had apparently crashed for the night.

He solemnly ushered them off to bed and had the place to himself. He had one of the roadies light up the fire and turn on the TV, and he started idly practicing while he waited for Lulu to come.


Once she did, she'd be brought in by a roadie and things would be easy.

His process of eating corn flakes was very different than most. It was dry and he ate it with his fingers, sometimes one flake at a time. But even despite his odd eating habits, he was listening, head tilted to one side. He pictured her world as something just this side of fantasy, where dragons still existed, where people could still wear armor and it wouldn't be considered odd.

He was positively taken with the notion, and her story was just as amazing. He looked rather wistful (For a given value of his expressions) at her story, and wanted to tell her how oddly at home he'd have felt in that world, but he dared not interrupt.

She finished the story with telling him how they'd managed to kill Yevon - essentially killing their own god, but ending the cycle of death and sacrifice that had been in place for a thousand years.

Lulu looked up when she was presented with a plate of eggs and bacon, along with a glass of orange juice and she thanked the young man and proceeded to tuck in.

"The last thing I remember before being here was Yuna's speech to Spira, letting them know that she'd done what nobody else could do - she'd brought the Eternal Calm." She nibbled on some bacon and her eyes lit up.

He thought it all through, recapping for himself the details of her story, then he asked, "De place you is comes from is likes a dreams I is havings on for a vurylong sorts of times. Nots de stories or de livings Gods... but de feelings dats your world seemings to has."

He wrinkled his nose at the bacon. He could never eat anything so fatty. "I is takes it dat dey don'ts has a bacons on Spira?"

Lulu smiled and drank some of her orange juice. "If there was a way to take you back to Spira, I would. I'm sure you'd have even more fans - we didn't really have much music there, just the Hymn of the Fayth, which is pretty, but nothing like your music."

She laughed when he wrinkled his nose and shook her head. "No, it's wonderful." She hadn't really ever eaten too much, if only because food on pilgrimages weas very catch as catch can, and as such, had been things roasted over open fires.

He chuckled, "I is gots vury few fans here. De worlds dats we is originallies froms? I could tells at you abouts it?" That actually was a question that time, and he popped another few cornflakes into his mouth.

He knew exactly where to start, and for once, it wouldn't be about just him. Though it would take some doing just to keep it off himself.

"I'd like that." She drank some more orange juice, arranging herself on the rug in a more comfortable position. At one point the fire started to dwindle, and she cast a spell over her shoulder to reignite enough so she was comfortable.

Skwisgaar had one of the roadies bring down his fur blanket from his room - it was white hare skin, and he spread that out underneath them, atop the rug, so that they'd (read: He'd) be comfortable.

He started in with how the world wasn't much different than this one, that the only difference was that music had gone a different route. Instead of people listening primarily to sappy, horrible music that had no substance, they took more to music with feeling. He'd been in the business since he was six, and he'd seen it grow up with him. Metal, however, only started to take its hold on the world when Dethklok put out their first album.
The first release sold so many albums in one year that the whoever-made-up-the-system-rules had to make up a new ranking above quadruple-platinum. They had to find an even MORE amazing metal to rate it. The band had gained more than just a cult following, they gained a rabid worldwide fanbase due to their music being so amazing, so outstanding, that everyone, regardless of race, heritage, country, gender or sexuality could relate. Everyone felt anger, everyone wanted to be brutal.
And then they started work on their second album. The money was still rolling in from the first album's sales, and with that alone, they bought some land - about a thousand acres - and built Mordland. And on it, they built their mansion; Mordhaus. Skwisgaar went into detail about the building itself - built like a dragon, with the head of a horse, with stained glass windows and a glowing underbelly. The home was so large that he'd gotten lost in it many times. He explained that twenty of the houses they were in now would fit into the one he was used to.
He then went into how their music seemed to have more power with each and every album. Through Nathan's perfectionist ways, his own constant playing, Pickles' near-wizard-level ability at drums, and Toki and Murderface's just being there, they'd summoned a lake troll, brewed up several storms, beckoned sea creatures, diverted a comet, and changed history itself.

He then spoke about what happened after. It was the first time Dethklok had been seen in public in about a year and a half. They had written a new album and had about ninety percent of the world under their thumbs. They got on the stage, and played their first set of the night to not only a sold out audience, but a live-on-television-and-streaming-internet-worldwide broadcast. Things were going well, and they took a break between sets. Skwisgaar was off in his dressing room, fucking one of the hotter groupies, the other guys were off likely doing their own things, and Pickles was working on a drum solo.
And something went wrong. Someone had gotten so excited in one of the missile silos that he'd pushed the big red button. And off went a nuclear missile, straight for another nation. That nation, in turn, set off another, and another, and while Skwisgaar had his pants down, Pickles was working on the sickest, most brutal drumbeat ever, Nathan was gargling with whiskey and thumbtacks, Toki was putting together a toy plane, and Murderface was barking orders at a roadie, the whole world ended in the most firey, brutal way possible.

Skwisgaar looked up to Lulu. "I don'ts remembers on how I gots to de Bars. But when I is was dere, I didn'ts has on my pants, or my belts buckles." He tapped the belt buckle he was wearing - the same said one that he'd worn all his adult career. "I just remembers on it beings vury amburrizing."

Lulu's eyes grew wide as he told her his story, but a lot of it didn't surprise her. She'd heard just him playing, she could understand him having the world under his thrall.

But the world ending hit too close to home and she wrapped her arms around him in a loose hug. "I'm glad you're here now, and not... the other thing." From what she was lead to understand, this universe didn't have a Farplane where she could visit her dead loved ones.

Skwisgaar shook his head, patting her on the shoulder, "I ain'ts upsets or nothings at it. All worlds is musts ends some sorts of times. Whats betters way dens to has beens de catalysts? I moveds ons. Toki brings me to his girlsfriend's homeplace, and he is raiseds on a families dere. Den I gots broughts here." He shrugged one shoulder, seemingly apathetic to the entire situation.

"Deres is a songs? Everything Dies. Even whole worlds. De worlds I lives on a firsts was dyings before I was a borns."

"I suppose that's a healthy outlook to take. I guess I've just been surrounded by so much death that I really just want to live for a while." She rolled over and winced at soreness he'd inspired, then tried not to giggle.

"Though I guess you've done more than your share of living at this point."

The wincing brought back Skwisgaar's smug smile and he sprawled more comfortably against the blanket. "Hn, I is nots done yets. I lives a plenties, but when is my times to be dyings, I goings to goes out silently. And I don'ts believes on a heavens, or hells. I believes on nothings. Stoppings existings, nothings else. Likes de ends of a song. No more notes."
He looked up at Lulu with a smirk, "I has thinks on that a whole lots. Dyings. To knows on de facts dats everyones I is ever meets as a kid has dies, to knows dat de only survivors of dat whole worlds is was only us fives. I thinks we has to all lives enoughs for dat whole worlds now. Is somethings I is really doings vury well. I don'ts gots any sorts of a regrets. I lives every day as I knows is supposed to be dones."

She stuck out her tongue at his smugness, and settled next to him. He was bony, but made a decent pillow. "Where I'm from, there's a place where the dead go - well. Not everyone believed that, but I did. Though I agree, that life is the only chance we have."

He got a wry smile, and rested his arm across her waist, just enjoying the closeness of her. Because as much as he enjoyed the carnal, it was mostly for the contact.
"Hn. Ja. And why nots lives at it likes dere is nothings to lose but lifes itselfs?"

"Of course. I would have died to save Spira. It's nice to be able to live for myself, live for living itself. It's what I've been fighting for for so long." She smiled and played with tiny flame spells on her fingertips to amuse herself and him.

"What do you do for fun?"

"You already sees dat." Skwisgaar said, moving slightly to watch the flames more clearly. "Ands... I watches a televisions, sometimes I is goes out to watch peoples. Glyndaa and me goes girls-watchings sometimes."

He tried to catch one of the flames, just idly as a lazy cat would try to catch the end of a string.

Lulu giggled and added another hand, the flames raising a tiny bit higher. She wouldn't let him burn himself, and even if he did, a quick blizzard spell would help.

"What were your concerts like?"

He raised a brow but didn't disincline to explain. And he didn't leave out the fact that yes, there was gore, plenty of death. But the thrill of being on stage, the enjoyment he got from watching the crowd made him feel more alive than anything else he'd ever done.

He had quick and calloused fingers, the flames didn't hurt. He was amused by the magic. "Can peoples who ain'ts from Spira learns on a magics?"

Her eyes widened, but she smiled and decided if he played anywhere, she'd still go.

"You know, I don't really know? I've never tried. And from what I can see, there's all sorts of magic here." She changed from fire to tiny lightning bolts, then to tiny bits of water. "I can do other things - poison and kill - but I like you, so I won't."

He sat up slightly at the lightning bolts. "How does you learns on it. I is wants to knows."

Lulu blinked and smiled. "I studied, but I was able to do it a bit on my own before that. I went to a mage school for a time. I could try to find some of those books, if you'd like, but I don't know if they're here." She sighed, closing her eyes, feeling far away from home.

He rubbed her back and shook his head, "I don'ts reads too goods, anysways. Dislexkia." He said, making the slightest motion to show that his mind was scrambled. "Sometimes I is gets de whole words a scrambles and I don'ts remembers on it right? Is pretty brutal. But if you can does on its, you can teaches me how, ja? Dat's is how I is learns on anythings de bests."

Lulu smiled, and turned to him. Okay. Close your eyes and think about the thing you wish to conjure. Think about it coming out of your fingertips. I channeled with an item, sometimes - focusing on it." She didn't really want to tell him it was a doll.

That was probably a good choice on Lulu's part, because Skwisgaar would've had a few choice chuckles due to it.

He sat up and went cross-legged, and muttered as he closed his eyes, "Dis is dildos, if dis is works for you..." He murmured, but then settled enough to clear his mind (not a hard task), and thought about lightning. He thought about it coming from his fingertips as readily as the music he played.

Nothing after .004 seconds meant it was a failure. He opened one eye. "It ain'ts a workings."

She smiled a little. "It took me ten years to do it every time, then five to learn how to get really good at it. It'd be like me picking up your guitar and expecting anything but horrible sounds coming out."

Lulu stroked some hair out of his face and cocked her head to the side. "You could try it with your guitar in your hands. Maybe for you to completely clear your mind, you need to have your fingers busy."

It took all his mental facilities not to flinch at her going for his hair, but he managed with nothing more than his eyes narrowing for a split second. "Hn, dats is... actuallies a vury good sorts of ideas." He was far too comfortable on his blanket near the fire with her, though, and any guitar in the general proximity was just too far out of reach. "I will tries on dats laters."

He slid closer, with his once-plush lips going into something of a pout, "You is a vury good friends, Lulu. I hopes dat you knows on dat."
