one bourbon, one scotch, one beer

If there was one thing Kyle absolutely adored about being back in LA and especially on Venice Beach, it was the noise and hustle and everything that indicated they and everyone around them were wonderfully, gloriously alive.

But even Lanterns needed their quiet time. Kyle’s was usually spent holed up in his room, illustrating and oblivious to the world. Guy’s was usually spent looking up to the sky, to the space he knew and loved and protected.

Kyle headed up to the rooftop, pausing to have a guilty marvel at how wonderful the pollution made the sunset spill out on the water, in oranges and indigos. And centered almost perfectly in the tableau was Guy, sprawled in a lawnchair he’d dragged up there. He had a cooler with the remains of a six pack nestled in the watery ice.

Well, no time like the present, Kyle thought, and created a green light chair beside Guy’s, coming over and flopping down.

All that Slithers

[starkangejr]

On that night of April 30th...

"A… snake.”  Grayson repeated it like he didn’t quite believe it. “Damian, where did you even find a snake up here?”

Damian shrugged. “In one of the vents.  It must have been hidden in one of the plants brought on board for the Arboretum.  Anyway, I’ve entrusted it to Lian’s care for now.”

Grayson was still watching him with that bemused expression. “And where are you keeping the snake?”

“Klesh,” Damian informed him. “Lian named him Klesh.  And, um…”

Damian and Lian had rescued the snake from the ventilation system and squirreled it out of the common room in secret, Damian creating a distraction with a smoke pellet while the little girl hurried off with their would-be pet.  When Damian found her later, she’d nestled the creature into a shoebox hidden beneath the bed her father now shared with Grayson.

Klesh seemed happy there whenever Damian checked on him, and he didn’t feel inclined to uproot him again.  Damian was certain it was a harmless snake, docile and non-venomous.  Somehow, the boy suspected Grayson wouldn’t appreciate the location of his pet, however.  “Klesh is still in his vent,” he answered.  He shook his head in stubborn refusal when Grayson suggested various options for relocating Klesh. “He’s comfortable.  I know what’s best for him, Grayson.”
