Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
DAMIEN CARTHAGE
? DeLuca Toymaker
Location: DeLuca Mansion - Rosa's bedroom
Company: None
The taught fabrics of his dress pants and shirt against his skin began to irritate Damien's arms and legs as he slipped into his left over clothes from the last night. The irritating fabric against his skin began persuaded Damien to simply remain in his birthday suit over wearing the dress clothes he had worn the night prior. In his mind, he wondered how people could wear the uptight collection of fibers for hours on end, day in and out. The looks to comfort ratio didn't even out, in the veteran's opinion. Damien would take his salty BDUs and combat gear over the designer suit any day of the week.
However, given the environment, he hadn't much of a choice. It was either wear the clothes from the evening, or walk out in his boxers... There was too much company for that. Rosa's wrath was also a deciding factor. He favored his manly parts where they were. While in the middle of putting his socks on his feet, Damien felt the woman's presence re-enter the bedroom, looking up, a smile grew on his face as Rosa leaned down and kissed his cheek. He felt the hint of cool mint mixed with her breath. The left over moisture from her rinse.
When the woman left her bedroom, Damien rose from his love's bed and picked up his belt and his carry piece. As he began wrapping the belt and holster around the waistline of his pants, he began to hear Rosa calling out to her younger sibling as she made her way down the hall. The image in Damien's head made him scoff as he finished getting dressed, his shirttails hanging to cover up his pistol. Making his way to Rosa's bathroom, Damien's nostrils were hit by the overabundance of scents of flowers and perfume. He wasn't sure if it was the smell or if it was simply the brightness of the lights after flipping the switch that began to make his eyes water. He wiped the irritated tears from his eyes and walked over to the woman's sink, turning on the water and filling his hands to pour onto his face.
After rinsing his face a number of times, he sighed and began to make his way out of the woman's bedroom, only to hear and feel a small period of low vibrations against his leg. The smile that he had worn on his face had quickly disappeared as he cautiously and quietly closed the door to Rosa's room and made his way over to the other side of her bed, taking up a seat on the floor and hiding as best he could.
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
What if I say I will never surrender?
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
