Gray Rivers Alto Yuri

The drive back to Manehattan wasn’t very interesting without Carmine at his side. Gray was peering out the window; at first there were only trees, then some small-town houses sprinkled here and there,... View More

Gray may not have noticed it coming in, but there was definitely something amiss in the apartment. Chicken and Waffles, the poorly-trained guard-cats, have been hiding in Carmine’s room and have not yet come out. In fact, Carmine’s door was wide open. It’s a meticulous habit of the detective’s to l... View More

Had Carmine been with him, he would have taken notice of all those little incriminating details. The opened door…? Red flag. Alas, Gray was on his own and at a place he had previously considered safe. His guard wasn’t down, it was completely missing. Without even a warning, an unfamiliar voice called from behind him. Since he had expected to be alone, and he did not immediately recognize that tone, his first instinct was to jolt, to try and turn around as fast as possible. A scream got caught in his throat but was unable to exit as the blades pressed against his skin, dangerously close. In the end, Gray had only let out a voiceless, breathless *gasp!* and froze in place. Both his hands were still in the sink, the water still running. It was as if time had stopped. The actor became hyperaware. He swore he saw a glimpse of a reflection in the metallic sheen of the faucet. But he didn’t really need to see it to know who it was. “…Hht..” Gray’s breath sharpened, his heart sunk, and his stomach turned. Was that his own pulse against the cold steel!? No, no, no, no, this couldn’t be happening! A question was posed to him, yet no response came out of him. He didn’t even assimilate it. He ground his teeth in fear. But… he also realized something: Unbeknownst to Macbeth, among the dishes still submerged in the soapy water was the butcher knife Carmine had used to cut the chicken the previous night! Gray’s fingers were lightly caressing it, he could feel the handle… but if Macbeth caught the most minimal of movements, Gray feared that would be it for himself. Still startled, —actually more like frightened to death— Gray couldn’t really speak beyond a stutter. “W-why…?” the actor’s voice had turned into barely a whisper that threatened to turn into a whimper. On the other hand, he was securing that grip on the knife. He couldn’t fail because failing meant instant death. And yet he didn’t even have a plan! Shit!... Fuck!

Macbeth had made no movements that showed he also noticed the knife. In fact, the position he had the actor in may work in his favor, as the griffon and his bizarre mask had jutted out on the opposite side of Gray, but still lingered at his back. “I won’t kill you. I don’t want to kill you. I don’t... View More

“L-listen…” Gray continued to stutter through clenched teeth. He was anxious to an alarming degree, a little more and he’d have fainted. Or at least those were the visual and sound cues he was giving. “If t-this is about some kind o-of financial debt—Please, we will pay for her…! Don’t do this, plea... View More

Approximately thirty minutes earlier… Carmine had stumbled into his office with the intent to find something damning on this ‘Macbeth’ character. Before that, he made himself a mac and cheese cup. Just a little snack so he could focus. Now… how to do this? Obviously, he could probably bring up his... View More

“…Maybe if you used his alias, you’d have better luck finding the guy.” A male’s voice echoed from within Carmine’s kitchenette, along with the sound of crunching foil, and… munching?

View More“…Maybe if you used his alias, you’d have better luck finding the guy.” A male’s voice echoed from within Carmine’s kitchenette, along with the sound of crunching foil, and… munching? Nobody should have been there, for sure. Hadn’t the detective’s office been closed for days now? Soon enough a rather tall silhouette appeared by the corner. Half leaning against a wall was the pale stallion from that night... Or at least one that looked eerily similar. Black mane with faded mauve ends, messily wrapped into some sort of bloodied bandaging which covered the right side of his head. He still held onto a half-eaten bag of chips, the very same ones he’d been eating the entire time. This was none other than Trip Wire, only known as ‘Jim’ to the detective and his pseudo-partner. Trip’s eyes were focused on Carmine sitting behind his desk, why hadn’t the detective seen him earlier if they both should’ve been at the kitchenette at the same time? Actually, because Trip was at the bathroom at the time. Just a funny coincidence, not a purposefully act. Which also meant that the guy had taken the liberty to revisit the cupboard shortly before formally meeting with the detective for the first time. He grinned a friendly —albeit somewhat creepy— grin and stepped over to slouch at the chair that was normally destined for Carmine’s clients. “You’re glamorously late, I wouldn’t have come in if I had known that it’d take you full 3 days to get to this point.” Complained the stallion, he still sounded rough from the whole ordeal. “…And you still *only* managed to get this guy’s dead-name? He goes by Psycho Hermes nowadays.” And just how long had he been there!? Turns out, at least since yesterday. As for his wounds…? Self-treated! He had crudely stapled the broken skin together over his exposed skull, then wrapped it over to forget about it. It smelled. But Trip didn’t seem to mind. “4.1… Turns out the old version had to be scrapped completely.” Trip made the ‘cut neck’ mimic with his hand, just so there wouldn’t be any doubts as to what he had meant. “Honestly? I’m kind of done with his theatrics… Not even May made the battle *this* personal, and it was her own brother. Psht…” Trip scoffed as though it was a laughing matter.

Carmine jumped straight out of his skin when he heard another’s voice. He thought the psycho might ambush him here, but there were no signs that the office had been entered before. The red stallion held the chair in front of him as some sort of barrier. Oh, how he lamented that he’d left his gun at ... View More

Trip’s expression changed into one of confusion as he was referred to with that strange name. At first it didn’t really make sense to him, up until he was able to connect the dots. “…Ah, that’s… That’s not my name.” he grinned awkwardly and scratched his cheek. “God, that account is… so old.

He’s broken into over a dozen scenes like the one before him. It’s funny how the signs of a struggle always looked the same. Bullets, scratches from thrown furniture, scarlet drops and… normally all of this was topped off with a chalk outline. Thankfully, this wasn’t the case yet, but judging from h... View More

It was such a relief to have seen Carmine bursting through that door. Gray picked up instantly, enough to notice the limping and the cheek. The actor’s frown grew “…You’re limping. What happened to your cheek, Carmine?” He reached out to touch his cheek soon as the other sat there with him. “Aagh!!... View More

“I ran here,” was all he’d say in regards to his own injury. “Someone didn’t stop early enough on a crosswalk. I’m okay, just need a bit of rest.” Gray was behaving a bit like his usual self, which was good. At least now he could get a good look at it. He lifted his hand briefly… “Either you got s...
