it's a real war right outside your front door, i tell ya [CLOSED]
Who: John Rambo (theydrewfirstblood) & Laios Touden (gruesomegourmand)
What: John gave Jon a statement and now Everything Sucks
When: Two days after Jo(h)n Party Pack Bonding, middle of the night
Where: The Oak & Iron
Warning(s): Violence, police brutality, PTSD, maybe some body horror? Assume the worst for anything Magnus Archives & First Blood/Rambo related. XD
The nightmares have been back for a short while, but this time it's especially bad and John doesn't know why.
It's not finding Galt or getting shot at or even breaking down in the station this time--it's the dry shave that never happened. They start on his face, using the blade to trace the line of the fresh scar by his eye that he earned at the hands of Podovsky's lap dog, then every single scar on his chest, cutting into every scar and he can't get away from any of them...
...because there's something watching from a neighboring cell, a creature that's just all eyes, but it looks enough like Jon Sims to make him afraid that if he escapes this time, the deputies will go after him and he can't, he can't, he can't--
When he wakes up, this time he nearly chokes on suppressing the scream. He doesn't want to wake up Edgar, or the animals, or...
...nope, Co's already sitting on his chest, heavy and warm, staring down at him in silence.
Buk. she finally declares.
Reaching up, John strokes her feathery neck...then gathers her into his arms as he sits up in bed and cries silently, soaking her poor feathers in his tears as she just taps her beak against any skin she can reach for a long while.
He needs to get out. He doesn't want the boys to see him like this.
He's not really thinking as he writes the note and leaves it on the back of the front door before slipping out.
INSOMNIA. WENT TO TOWN, BACK AFTER DAWN. LOVE YOU, JOHN
He takes Helga, because she's up and they'd worry if he hoofed it. Co doesn't mind the ride, and she comes with him in her travel satchel. Things are quiet, save at the Oak & Iron, which is where John heads, and the moment he walks through the door...
It feels like a bad idea, but he doesn't want to go home and there's just...nowhere else.
So he just heads for a table in the back, not noticing that Tasha, the fussy blonde waitress is on duty--and already looking for someone in particular to see if they can't find out what's bothering John Rambo.
