The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Night

It was Tuesday, and the Devil was done sleeping off the weekend. It had been an inspiring one, especially near the end, as one could tell by the music flowing from his piano right now.

Well, maybe it had been that, and 'googling how to make anaemic pop palatable'.

Either way, you could kind of tell what he was playing if you squinted.

“. . . Yeah, I can see that.” Duke finished his bourbon. “I really don’t think you’re a monster. You know that, right?”

Duke held out his glass with a little nod. "Humans can kind of suck that way, yeah. I try not to."

"Happy to," Duke said with a nod. "Just . . . maybe don't wait a week to tell me I'm being an idiot, next time, yeah?"

"Note taken." Duke nodded and sipped his drink. "So. Apparently there's a man in my hometown who drives people violently insane whenever he plays music. Or -- there was, he's currently at sea with three escaped patients from a mental institution."
betterthanaplan: (a casual drink)

Duke huffed a laugh. "My entire life sounds like a horror movie."
betterthanaplan: (thoughtful)

"Horror movie about pirates?" Duke suggested. "Don't know the beginning of the story, but Tavi and I were hanging out on the boat when Nathan showed up and tried to kill me. Turns out, he'd been trying to track this guy down and got a brainful of crazy-making piano. I helped his new partner track the guy down to his family boat. Apparently, his wife had brain damage from a car accident, and he was using his music to, like . . . transfer her damage to other people so she'd be okay."

"Backfired on him, anyway. The doc who runs the mental hospital got a brainful and kidnapped the guy so he could dissect him and learn his secrets."
betterthanaplan: (*shrug*)

"Yup." Duke shrugged. "I think the theory is that if everyone on the boat is crazy, there's no one to transfer the crazy to. So they all just get to be cured."
betterthanaplan: ((:-|)

Fun with being throttled -- and just generally healing quickly.

"Well, he came back to himself chained to a post with a greasy rag stuffed in his mouth, so I'd say he did."

Duke sighed. "It's . . . home. People I care about are up there. And -- trust me, I know how this sounds, but. I promised my dad I'd go back when the troubles came back. Right before he died."

"Probably?" Duke shrugged. "I said I knew how it sounded."

Look, he had issues, okay? This was not news.
