One moment was all it was.

I had been sitting at my desk, eyes flitting across the pages as I waited for the clock to strike 4.

Just as I turned the page, a shadow caught my eye, when I looked up I saw /him/.

We stared at each other, polite smiles forming on our faces.

But really my heart was rushing, stomach flipping, I wouldn't doubt it if I were told my face was completely red.

A second later he turned and walked past, disappearing into the building.

Even after he left the world seemed a little less dull.

One moment and he caught my eye.

One moment and he flipped my world.

One moment and I knew, this was the man...

The man I was going to kill.

One moment was all it was.

even as the other spoke, red-rimmed eyes had yet to leave what was now just another body to add to blamore's count — not that it was actually keeping track of all the blood it had split or anything. all blamore knew was that he originally thought the corpse of the man lying below the both of them could have potential, because he was smart, and resilient. it seemed like it was wrong however. a soft hum of amusement left burgeon's lips at the other's quip. humor was something he honestly didn't hear enough of in gotham, with it constantly being all 'doom and gloom.' so he believed that it was a nice change of pace to hear lonnie use it to cope with the current predicament they were in. (or, at least, that's what he guessed was why they had made that comment.)

though anarky appeared to have retreated into being serious with him almost immediately. which, wasn't all that surprising, seeing as the way the man died was rather grisly. that is... whenever you considered the egregious amount of blood that was trailing down from his mouth. a very faint and clinical smile tugged at one corner of burgeon's lips while it's tail curved slightly behind it in curiosity, ❝ mm, i just gave him what he wanted, really. i have gotten my hands on these brilliant little things i like to call seeds and usually... they would endow an ordinary person like him with powers. but sometimes, it just doesn't take, unfortunately. and this process honestly has more to do with them than it ever has to do with me. so, i don't know what you're getting mad at me for. ❞

to say that blamore sounded cheerful even as he talked about a subject as harrowing as this wouldn't be an exaggeration. half of it could've been attributed to its accent, though, as it took a step closer to the body. of course he knew why lonnie was angry, but that didn't change the fact that he was going to toy with them about it, ❝ nature often works in mysterious ways, you know. it gives life, but it also takes life away. although there's no use in crying over spilled milk, so i'm just going to pick him up and be on my way, d'accord?* ❞

[ *translation: all right? ]

❝ i'm glad you enjoyed the performance. ❞

Lonnie frowned. "I don't think you'll like my critique in the papers tomorrow."

They balled their fists, but the tone of their voice gave away their emotion. "What did you do to that person?"

silence. that is the only thing that came from blamore at first as it looked from the fire that was raging in the trashcan across from itself, to the small pile of letters next to its feet. only to reach down and pick up one of them. his eyes seemingly focused on something on the paper, before he was turning to face lonnie with a hand on his hip. a snort left its lips right before it spoke, ❝ you're really treating me like i'm some sort of devil, aren't you? of course... for all you know, i might be. but therein lies the problem. it seems like you haven't even considered that sometimes people can do bad things for good reasons, ❞ except he wasn't really much of a person at all anymore, was he? a frown tugged at its lips for a moment. the letter, now partially crumpled in its hand, seemed to be what blamore was taking its displeasure out on now at its own thoughts.

he furrowed his eyebrows before completely wadding up the letter and chucked the paper into the fire. burgeon took a few steps closer to them, only to crouch down to be eye level with lonnie and got into their face. an incredulous smile quickly made it's way onto it's face; it was trying to intimidate them, that much seemed to be clear, ❝ well... you have fun 'preserving' the lives of the same people who will never appreciate what you're doing for them. and who would very quickly stab you in the back, in fact, if it so served them. i'm going to do my own thing and i suggest you stay out of my way, as well as lighten up, ❞ the hybrid backed away from then, then, before aggressively gesturing at the pile of letters near them.

it was almost as if blamore had never gotten mad at lonnie at all since its incredulous smile returned after his spiel, ❝ i am doing a therapeutic exercise, for christ's sake! not burning some poor bastard to a crisp. it's called burning letters, you know. you write a letter to someone you have ongoing conflict with whether they're dead or alive and let go of it by burning the letter — you ever heard of it? ❞

❝ it’s a good feeling, getting rid of things. ❞

Lonnie's expression went stormy and unyielding. "What do you mean, 'things'? Because the 'things' I've seen you get rid of are not 'things' at all, but people whose lives deserved preserving."

"You'll have to forgive me for not trusting you after that."

thinking about how interesting a conversation between blamore and batman could be (no, this totally isn't a sign for you batman accounts to reach out to me PSHHH / j LMAO nooo but please reach out to me if you want to!!) because they are quite literally on COMPLETELY different sides of the spectrum whenever it comes to their viewpoint on people. because batman believes that people can be better, you know? even if they can't exactly make up for everything in their past. and this is because i think bruce is a hopeful person at heart, though i know that he has been portrayed as being more jaded in recent iterations.

i think that it's an important plot point for him to WANT for his villains and people who are on the wrong path in life to get better, however. but meanwhile, blamore genuinely believes that people CANNOT be saved + it'd be better if they literally just purged gotham of all of the people inhabiting it because the very foundation of it is 'tainted.' and with it as the leader of this 'new gotham' that it preaches about to the masses, of course.

and i say the masses because it is definitely the type to give speeches about 'taking what's yours' in places that are filled with people who have been failed by either the system or by other people; but in reality, that is just a ruse for what he really wants to achieve, which is pretty much to destroy gotham as it is now by using its 'seeds' and that is uhhh. TERRIFYING to think about, but honestly. batman accounts, let's put these two in a room together and see what happens (lovingly) xxx LOL
