    Summary

    For a moment he didn't know what was happening. His whole world shrunk to this one moment in time, this one-track minded fear of unclear origin, and he thought he was dying.
    He had never been dying before.

    ---

    Or, John has a nightmare, followed by an existential crisis over the inevitability of death.

    Summary

    Arthur wakes up. So many of his memories lately start with this. He wakes up, and everything hurts, and John is saying something—but John’s not saying anything this time, and there’s someone in this room with Arthur that sounds a lot like his friend.
    --
    John’s voice always rose and fell, low into a deep growling bass and high into a rough yell. But one constant, one word that never sounded different no matter the tone was how he said Arthur’s name. Emphasis on the ‘ar’ and ‘ur’, the ‘th’ in the middle always smooth like wind. Other people tended to hiss that sound, the ‘th’. With John, it seemed he knew exactly how to say it to make it glide.

    Based on all that, he deduced it was in fact John saying, “Arthur!”

    Summary

    "'There's- there's a napkin on the table. Royal blue, folded so carefully as to be a piece of art.' John reaches out blindly, softly feeling through the darkness of cursed sight.

    His fingers snag on a cloth.

    Not royal blue, not folded to perfection.

    Faust's pant leg, torn off once his limb had been removed at the joint.

    Grasping it like a lifeline, John lifts it to Arthur's mouth."

     

    Or, John distracts Arthur (and himself) by describing Faust as a meal. Arthur pays him back with a song.

    Summary

    Welcome to the Waylay. Not that many people visit that place intentionally. That's kind of the whole point. Unless, of course, you're visiting to kill an alternate version of yourself. Then sure, come right in. It was inevitable that this little bastion would get discovered eventually. And yet you may still get waylaid from your original goals. For better or for worse.

    The unmasking is upon us, after all. No being can preserve the social masquerade for so long. Nor should it, despite whatever that face in heavy theatrical make-up will say. Welcome to the unmasking, Kayne. We have all laid aside disguise but you.
