Kimblee stared at himself in the mirror. Everything about this seemed like a bad dream, from the black eye that seemed to make the gold of his eye even more conspicuous, to the line of eyeliner that had dripped from the other, making his face burn a little. He rubbed at the makeup until it went away, the leaned closer. The mirror was propped against the wall, on a card table that might give up the ghost any moment, and Zolf briefly wondered if this was some sort of cosmic joke… his entire life could pass as a prank by the universe… abandoned by parents, whored out by brothers, and finally possessed by a smooth talking freak with bad dental work who held him with a purely chemical bond. He stood up, and nearly fell onto the floor from the shaking in his legs. He needed a fix, fast.
He briefly considered trying to find someone else to get it from, according to his brothers, he was pretty enough, and who didn't love a living skeleton with a drug addiction. He sat on the floor slowly, and giggled for awhile. Really, that creep was his only choice, and said creep knew it too. Zolf considered standing up, but decided quickly to crawl, over to the phone and pulled it down to sit in his lap while he took support from the cracked wall behind him. His hair was a mess, he knew, he would have to muster up the strength for a shower before 'Greed' arrived. He licked his lips slowly, before punching in the number and closing his eyes against the light that was driving him absolutely crazy. He waited, listening to the ringing noise, and when he got that damned machine, he nearly screamed.
"Not home. Be back. Leave message, oh, and Kim, get a job." It said, and Kimblee laughed quietly. He had a job, and that bastard knew it… he didn't have time for anything else with greed's calls 'just to be sure' sure of what, Zolf didn't know, but he had a sick suspicion. He quietly left a short, nondescript message, something about missing him, and hung up. He then crawled towards the bathroom. Greed would be over soon… he could feel it.
(I was feeling angsty... AU of course... Continue or no?
