No Lodging For The Mad

2024-10-29 19:42:56The faint crunching of snow wakes Seth up from a deep slumber - branches stripped of leaves, his arms wrapped around a rifle covered in a thick cotton cloth. Nixon rubs his hands together, ears and nose red from the cold, his earrings clacking against the sides of his jaw. Seth takes in the scenery for a while, "What day is it?" In almost a whisper, Seth asks, eyes barely open, tired.
Nixon falls onto the snow-covered ground, quickly rocking himself back into a sitting position. "You've only been asleep for a few hours and you've forgotten what day it was?"
"Shut up..." Seth says weakly, falling onto the snow and letting himself sink into it. Seth slides the rifle from in between his arms over to Nixon who grabs the barrel of the gun and pulling it away from Seth. Nixon clears his throat, placing his rifle near his crossed legs. "I want... a woman..."
"What?"
Seth chuckles, "Where the hell are we?"
"Washington?"
"Alright..." Seth curses unde

"Who's the next hunt?" Seth asks, propped on a tree, crushing the grass under his feet to pass the time. Nixon thinks to himself for a moment, counting money between his fingers."We'll just have to find out - visiting the sheriff's office will do."A voice comes from behind them, "Hey, are you guys, poachers?"Seth turns around with a casual turn as if nothing was wrong, "Nope, we're just waiting here, contemplating." The man was Japanese, his expression filled with solace, his short black hair slicked back with oil, a small goatee sitting in the middle of his chin, his jaw visibly tense. "You're Japanese right?"Nixon arches an eyebrow, chipping away at some wood he found, "You can tell?"Seth points to his hip, then motions to the Japanese man, Nixon nods in affirmation, "Yeah, I'm Japanese," The man shakes the katana on his hip, wearing a black military uniform with white lining, the symbol of a hawk on his right breast. "Tsukiyama Matsumoto,"

"The Cannibalistic Cooker?" Seth asks out loud, cringing silently with the torn piece of paper in his hands. 'What a cheesy name...' He thinks to himself, examing who was on the paper closely. Only known as the Cannibal, he has a crooked nose, sharp facial features with a gaunt expression to his face, dried lips against long strands of hair coming across his jaw and chin, no hair on top of his head. "So, he cooks people he's killed and serves it to people as a chef?""That's about right," Nixon affirms, poking at the fire before them. "Is she gonna stay far away from the campfire, or what?" Nixon asks Tsuki, sitting near the campfire while a Japanese woman lays out in the snow a few feet away, covered in a thick pile of bear pelts, her long silky black hair spreading across the snowy canvas below her."She's hated foreigners ever since she was almost raped by one so she's sort of hostile with anyone who looks even remotely Russian, i.e. you, Nixon.""That

A gunshot takes off bark from a tree next to Seth causing him to retreat into the forest, lowering himself to the ground and hiding behind trees. Two more gunshots come from the distance, picking up snow or scraping against trees, Seth stays to the ground, attempting to understand what was happening. The gunshots sounded as if it came from a rifle so Seth thought they had run out of ammo by now or at least had one more bullet left since rifles take only four two five bullets. Seth quickly jolts from the trees, revealing himself for a split second before retreating back to cover, one last shot.Seth darts between cover, quickly approaching his pursuer. Seth's hot breath creates small puffs of smoke as he comes past trees, showing where he was to the sniper as they reloaded their rifle. The sniper realizes where they are though, dropping his head below the horizon line of the cliff beside him, suspecting he could be taken out by assisting fire. The sniper is covered in white ga

"Do you call your wife by her last name?" Seth asks, slightly drowsy, covered in pelts.Tsuki looks over at Seth, "What?""You called her Minami before.""Ah..., yeah. Her full name is Hinata Minami.""Don't you call lovers in Japan by their first name?"Tsuki sighs, "Well, we aren't actually lovers, I'm just helping her. That's all you need to know.""Right..." Seth rolls onto his side, his hand caressing his injured leg. "We'll be coming down the mountain to get our injuries treated. Can Hinata carry heavy things, like, a human?""What?""We'll have her carry the sniper girl over there." Seth points at the woman from before, Half-Native American. Hinata, sitting a few meters away from their campfire, knees to her chest, nods. "Looks like she can."***"How much longer will it take?" A man drenched in sweat asks behind another, hair matted and black, eyebrows rigid, a cut going through both. "We've been walking a

A Japanese man wearing a Komuso and a Kimono sits on his knees, staring out to the Japanese style doorway, adjusting himself on a tatami mat, a long nodachi by his waist. The sound of licking his lips can be heard behind the Komuso mask, grasping the hilt of his sword, looking down at the mat below him. "Are you coming in?" The man asks, the door sliding open, a blond man with a curled mustache enters, his blue and blue eyes shining against the darkness emitted by the light behind the man.The Japanese man leans forward, still grasping his sword, "What do you want?" He asks, blowing air from his nose.The blond man scans the room, "I want you to hunt some people down.""Who hired you to tell me this?""Does it matter? Just hunt down who we want to be hunted down," The blond man turns to his belt, using his index and middle finger to grab a collection of folded pages, throwing it to the Japanese man on the other side of the room.

A bag of cash, Barney and Vincent dead on the ground. Seth lowers himself to the ground, taking out the cash and examining it. "It's counterfeit but it has a weird shine to it."Nixon leans over Seth, "What do you mean?""It's gold... a thin sheet of gold is pasted onto the money.""How the hell?""That takes a lot of effort."Tsuki comes out from behind them, stepping down from being next to a few trees. "So what's the deal, do you know why they attacked?""Not a clue." Seth shrugs, "They have gold though.""What?" Tsuki crosses to Seth, lightly jogging. "What do you mean?""Look," Seth shows Tsuki the cash, pointing it directly to the son showing a gold shine to it. "These guys seem to have some gold pasted onto the cash, both sides. It's disguised as counterfeit cash but, well... looks like they didn't hide the gold well enough."A young, beautiful Half-Native American woman comes out from some bushes, holding onto a
I Love You Like an Alcoholic There Is Trouble
It's a fact that those who die on the island are taken somewhere else, replacing the persona similar to theirs, either it is wish or prophecy, those there will always go somewhere else in the end, an ideal world without chaos or destiny, a world where your own choices aren't predetermined by an unknown being that reigns over others. A sure-fire way to make everyone happy. Only the boy understood this concept. The bulbous cadaver of the monsters made him vomit up acid, for there was nothing inside his stomach. he clamored and clamored against the wooden planks that were the ground under him until finally, it all ended there and then.Before this encounter, the boy had finally gained the courage to open the door to the shared rooms he had with the other orphans in the orphanage. His steps creaked slowly against the molded wood sticking against his feet, keeping himself low to the ground. His journey outside the room did not take him far before encountering that horrible vomit-i

"You gave him to the doctors?" Seth asks, leaning on a table, surrounded by chairs. They're in a small-town bar, using their time there to relax. Nixon sits in one of the chairs and Seth follows, sitting across from Nixon."Yeah, that Vincent guy.""What about the dude with the mask?""You forget his name?"Seth chuckles, "Yeah.""I gave him to the girls, they're staying in the forest with him by the hip, best that way, don't want to cause suspicion.""Is Tsuki staying with this Vincent fellow?""Yeah, he's with the doctor right now."Seth scans the bar - A young woman with short black hair, a scar running across the lower part of her eye - she wipes down cups and bottles clean with a rag behind a counter, she's the bartender. Two others sit on stools sipping at large jugs of beer, their hands tensing as they raise it to their lips due to its weight.

Bloody spit pooled under Nixon's tongue, spitting it out intermittently as he stares down at the half-dead Palach, knuckles facing the floor whilst palms are pointed towards the ceiling. Blood streams out from Palach's broken nose, knuckles scraped and bloodied, Nixon's face bruised - his top brow cut open, blood staining one half of his face. Nixon goes to grab his gun but stops himself, deciding to leave instead of wasting any more time on Palach.Seth careens into a wall while running back to Nixon, "We need to find a different exit!" Seth screams as he presses his back to the wall beside him. Nixon presses his back against the wall as well, revolver in hand. Seth glances at Nixon for a second before looking back down the hallway he just came through from, "You're looking worse for wear.""That fucking Russian was strong." Nixon sneers as he lowers himself. A crashing could be heard through the wall they've got their shoulders pressed again. Seth jumps away from the

"Hey! We got a job for you!" A man yells, his form obscured by a shadow in a doorway. He throws a note onto the ground and it slides towards someone else, who of which is curled into a ball in the corner of the room. An older man, cold dead eyes, unkempt, wearing a dirty wifebeater with torn pants. "You gonna do it?""No choice, why give me an option." The unkempt man says, standing up, still situating himself in the corner of the room. His eyes are attracted to the note, reading the two names scrawled upon it. "Seth Alpheus Hunt," and "Nixon Driver." The unkempt man stares at the note for a moment before looking back at the man propped against his room's doorway. "Who are these guys?""We just want them dead, don't ask questions. You'll have Snake come with you, is that alright?""That's fine."The unkempt man lets out a sigh, "Are these the guys who stole that Mafia's gold?"Before the man in the doorway leaves, he stops midway before turning bac

New York, April 1912...Seth, scars running across both of his cheeks, resting comfortably under closed eyes sits in a velvet chair, legs crossed over one another, a black dress suit covering his body. An older man with curly black hair, grey strands appearing here and there, a curled black mustache sitting above his lip. Hands in their pockets, they seat themselves behind a desk, sipping at a glass of whiskey. The older man sighs before placing the glass of whiskey down before him. "So, you're the one that had my gold?" The older man asks, eyebrow arched as he leans over his neatly carved desk.Nixon walks into the room with a casual saunter, grabbing a chair in the back corner of the room and sitting it beside Seth, placing himself down into it. Seth nods, "Yes, I and my compatriot here, including a few others have procured your gold with me."The older man nods, "I should introduce myself - My name is Falcone Russo, you are?""Seth, just Seth."

"Jesus Christ, look at this." Seth hands a newspaper he had in his hands to Nixon sitting beside him. Nixon's eyes widen, screwing up his nose in disgust."What happened?" Citlali asks, sitting on a tree stump whilst polishing her rifle."Some guy and his family were massacred, wife and child raped then tortured while the husband was apparently skinned alive. There was a witness but for some reason, he can't speak." Seth pauses, 'They don't know what traumas and PTSD is yet so I have to keep quiet about that.' Seth thinks to himself, his expression becoming progressively sourer and sourer. "I..." Seth stops himself, shaking his head, 'They'll just think I'm crazy if I go on.'Nixon tears the newspaper to shreds before putting his hands to his face, "I'm not reading that anymore... I don't want to be mad today." Nixon sneers, standing up and leaving, "I'm going for a walk."Citlali's expression becomes sorrowful, "How could someone do such a thing?"

Scratching metal, two long knives being brought together and dragged across the flats of each blade. Palach lets out a boisterous laugh as he places the knives down onto a table, adjusting the cuffs of his sleeves, making sure they barely touch the backs of his elbows. Palach blows air from his nose, looking over to two men screaming in chairs with a scowl. "You'll tell me yes? Where they go?" Palach's expression becomes friendly, taking gags out from the men's mouths, distancing himself."JESUS FUCKING CHRIST LET ME LEAVE PLEASE!" Tears run down the man's cheeks, "I JUST WANT TO SEE MY FAMILY!""Тупица." Palach snarls, "I will let you leave if you tell me where gold is."The two men, one with a messy ponytail and dark brown hair while the one next to him wears a short beard and short hair, pitch black.

Preston nods, bowing slightly, out of politeness.Seth nods, "What are you guys doing out here?""Looking for something." Marshall puts down a blanket and sits down on it, Preston remains standing."What are you two looking for?"Marshall chuckles, "Well, you and your compatriots actually," Marshall quickly shows both of his hands before they could even do anything, "We aren't here to kill you - you don't have to worry about that.""What are you here for then?"Marshall scratches his chin, "We're here to see if we should bet on you or not."Seth raises an eyebrow, "What?""We're apart of an organization that bets on if someone will either get caught within a major crime or not.

"How many more bounty hunters do you believe have been contracted?" A man covered in darkness asks from the shadows, hands in their pockets, part of their form shown by a small snippet of light. In front of this man stands a young man wearing white, lighting a cigarette, blowing smoke from his mouth, hair slicked back - black."Discounting Hunter's group, thirty others.""Those Mafia fucks really want that gold huh?""Retards, thinking that the bounty hunters wouldn't try and take it for themselves.""What makes you think that'll happen?""Of course it'll happen.""Question.""Hm?" He takes a long drag from his cigarette, "What's up?""How do you think they're transporting that gold? Wouldn't it be too heavy to be transported quietly?""Theory is that they thinned out the gold into little transparent sheets that are only visible through its gleam as the sun shines down upon it.""Would they even be able to fit the

The sound of gunshots coming from outside the small town hospital Tsuki is in, sitting near Vincent while staring directly into the doctor's eyes, hand on the hilt of his blade, doctor's hand over the grip of his revolver, Vincent laying quietly between them. In but a moment, Tsuki's katana, in one quick movement, takes off the doctor's arm before being able to take out his gun. The sound of steel cutting through flesh and bone with the subsequent screams puts Tsuki off, but he quickly steels himself, getting out from his chair as he watches the doctor writhe on the floor in pain, clutching at his missing arm.Tsuki takes a deep breath crossing over to the door of the room their in and lowers himself, blade at his side, ready to slice through muscle fibers and tendons.
