Cut for the squeamish. He is a Grue, after all.

Some, silly Grue, has been pondering a way to help Norman and Osborn both. Hermes is family and Hermes loves them/him/whatever, so... Some has an Idea. Now, this may be a bad idea, maybe even a Very Bad Idea, but it's an idea. So.

Some creeps into the light of a courtyard. No dark tunnels, no vampires for this one. Human, and nothing but. And as perfect as he can ensure. He's chosen carefully. A beautiful young woman, sheltered and cloistered, is his target. He perches on the wall of the courtyard, looking through her window. The light in there is too bright, he doesn't know the land, disorientation would be his downfall, even with the fine new blade in his hand. But the moment she turns down the lamps, before she even has a chance to take her hand away, he's behind her, his arm around her neck and his hand over her mouth, and then they both disappear, leaving no trace.

They reappear in the center of the Labs. Before she can scream or struggle, Some is in front of her. With a thumb, he traces a quick flick of dark oil over her forehead, four lines suggesting a Goblin's grinning face, and then the knife is across her throat. He catches her body as she bleeds out over the black glossy floors, and lays her down gently. "For you," he says to the green in the walls.

The floor, black and hard and cold, soaks up the blood like a sponge. Hungry for the liquid and the life, the power it contains, a delicacy it's never sampled before now -- at least, not in this form.

It drains the body dry, to the tune of thick-clouding green, the hum of power and change and ascension. And when thick, dark power-tendrils snake out of the walls to brush Some's mind, they bring with them gratitude and satisfaction and power-pleasure and yesss.

Thank you.


...and then around her, the floor softens. Until the dead, cooling flesh begins to sink under its own weight. Within minutes it's swallowed, and a small lingering warmth is the only strange thing about that patch of hard, black tile.

Some grins broadly, too broadly for his human face, and pats a wall. "I hope I help?" Out of instinct, his subconsciousness tries to dim the lights so he can actually see.

Picking up on Some's discomfort, and his subconscious efforts to do so himself, the lights dim, dropping the hall into near-pitch-darkness. The only light, uncontrollable, is from the gentle little flicker-flares of green 'fire,' quickly fading, that dance along the walls and around that spot of floor.

You help. Very, very much, you help.

"Good. Nothing worse than going hungry."

He pats the wall again, and blows the Labs a platonic kiss before disappearing, the peripatetic Grue already somewhere else.
