A new arrival [Completed]

[notquitedracula.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Soma, Lucifer, anyone else who cares to jump in.
Content: Soma's arrival through the Niflheim gate, meeting the Original Lord of Darkness, various & nefarious other happenings
Setting: Niflheim gate
Time: Week 2, early morning
Warnings: Potential mild swearing, probably about it.


Soma was awoken, not by his alarm clock, but by the sun falling across his face. Shielding his eyes automatically, he sat up, flinging aside the covers and making to get out of bed.

Only to find he was not -in- his bed. Beneath his hand, he felt wet grass, and there was a very distinct early morning breeze blowing.

Now fully awake (and standing, though he would later have no idea how he'd gotten that way), Soma took stock of his situation. He was, surprisingly, fully clothed (and armed, though he knew for certain that he'd left Laevatain in a case at the foot of his bed).

Before him stood a gate that, in his sleep-fogged vision, was distressingly familiar. "Oh God, not this place again..." he muttered, palming his face. After rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he made note of the decorative nature of the gate (it looked like it was made of ice), and realized that it was -not- the gate to Dracula's castle.

But...

What -was- it?

From what he could see, his first guess was 'city'. There were huge domes surrounding it, whatever it was, and a steady stream of people going in through the gates. Seeing nothing better to do, Soma followed them in...

Subaru gives a look to Soma that says he does not care about being rude. He... used to care, but not anymore. They can call him 'short stuff' and 'boy' all they want. He does not care about them either. Lucifer, however, hit something in his heart. "I am not irrelevant!" He lashes out at Lucifer angrily.

Looking sharply at the two men, Subaru tries to calm himself down, "Are you or are you not going to tell me where I can get more cigarettes?" Subaru thinks it is about time he leaves these two alone. They are too dangerous.

"I might, if I knew. But the way your attitude's running, I doubt it. Now, scurry along like the insignificant peon you are before someone makes you cry."

Soma couldn't help needling the guy, now that he'd shown himself to be an emo little runt instead of a man. Something about that whole group of people just rubbed him the wrong way, and he could never quite figure out why.

"I think you're right about him. He -is- irrelevant..." said Soma, turning back toward Lucifer.
