The ice is thin come on dive in
--Sarah McLachlan
I don't usually take requests but somebody asked me "What does Richard dream about?" (This was before he'd gotten his new name.) So I obliged with this quick little dream log.
This log is short, but the saccharine levels are pretty concentrated. Cutter is a Tough Guy, so some things are difficult to pronounce. Tonight is the first time he properly pronounces 'I Love You'. Rina is in the hospital again, after the traumatic MacBeth incident, and he says this even though he knows she's going to live. Tragic flaws are not pretty, kids.
Cutter finds out about his Da. A week after the above mushy scene, Cutter goes out to the island to find one of the few people in the Sept who remembers his father. He's not like this all the time.
Okay. So maybe Cutter had his moments of weakness in his younger days, before he went home and killed his mother. When Sally met Scott, he abducted her and stuffed her in a basement. Cutter felt bad about this, and when he met her again in the park he tries to say as much.
Okay. *This* is what Cutter's really like. He's not even in this scene, having set everything up and manipulating the players like puppets from offstage. Cutter found a cool place to hide out, but some young pup has claimed it. She is, however, unwilling to defend it. Cutter isn't so interested in having the place as he is in seeing how serious she is about holding her turf. So after several attempts to force her into standing up and fighting, he sends Dillan down to the bomb shelter, thinking perhaps he'll represent an easier target.
Stormcloud, the local Red Talon, found himself in the Scab late one night and decided to take his frustration out on things around him. Cutter heard 'some weird monster is messing with your turf' and went out to confront the beast. By the time The long dark night of Banishes-the-Darkness was over, Cutter had polished his repertoire of witty remarks and gotten fur all over his carpet.
A Fistful of Fur. More Cutter behaving like a Shadow Lord. Some young Turk has been upsetting the peace he's been working hard to maintain. It's time to administer some beatdown.
In Which Cutter Solves a Problem and perhaps a bit too roughly introduces Carma's player to the GarouMUSH world. A runaway cub returned to the fold. Somebody's fold, at least, and it's not Cutter's. That's the important part, to him.
After all this time proving what a good SLord he is, all it takes is a wet girl in a bathrobe to turn him back into a marshmallow. I'm telling you again, tragic flaws ain't pretty.
A brief interlude. A quick scene, Cutter on patrol in the park. Poignant and stuff, but not sappy.
It's Story Time with Unka Horus! In the OOC Lounge, a few days after the actual event, Horus sums up an evening's RP with Cutter, Angelo, Kyle and more blood than a Tarantino flick.
Oh, by the way; Angelo, from the last log, has valiantly fought the last good fight, and has passed on after tackling the town's vampire army single handedly. He plays a quiet role in this scene where Cutter is training the new boyfriend.
Cutter, now in charge of Angelo's Gathering, walks the earth like Kane in Kung Fu, trying to make sure that more than one person attends. Hrm. Cubs can't say 'no'. Time for the undertaker to twist some arms.
