Let Them Bleed, Let Them Wash Away; A Tyler Open Post

[lockwood]

[ooc: Basically, this is free range for people to set up scenes with Tyler. Can be canon, crossover, whatever. There will probably be spoilery things bc I am not dealing well with the events of the last episode, this is the warning for that. Also feel free to comment oocly with an idea, and I can set something up too.]

[lockwood]

We could play Quarters.

[dontkanyeme]

I don't entirely suck at Quarters. I'll get the shot glasses.

[lockwood]

Alright. I'll get some quarters out

[dontkanyeme]

[She returns a little while later with some empty shot glasses, and another bottle. Just in case.]

How much change do we got?

[lockwood]

A couple dollars worth. Think that's enough?

[dontkanyeme]

[She nods, setting up the glasses and pouring them both a shot.]

Sounds good. You wanna go first?

[lockwood]

Sure.

[He picks up one of the quarters and bounces it, it landing into the shot glass rather easily.]

[dontkanyeme]

[Bo picks up her glass to down the shot, before taking the quarter to take her turn. It takes her a moment to aim, but eventually she does the same.]

Play this a lot back home?

[lockwood]

[He nods and downs the shot.]

Yeah. I used to host a lot of parties. We had a lot of land, and usually a lot of booze.

[dontkanyeme]

So drinking games to past the time?

[lockwood]

Pretty much. It's not the worst way to pass a party.

[dontkanyeme]

[She nods]

Drinking is a more recent thing for me. Before I had control, me lowering my inhibitions tended to end ... badly.

[lockwood]

I can imagine.

I drank a lot when I was younger -- that combined with werewolf rage issues wasn't always pretty.

[dontkanyeme]

How did that work? I mean -- were you just angry, all the time, or did you just have a shorter temper?

[lockwood]

Short temper. Like...really short. It wasn't hard to set me off.

[dontkanyeme]

That must have been rough to deal with.

[lockwood]

It could be. I never knew why I would get like that.

[dontkanyeme]

I know that feeling well. I didn't find out I was Fae until a few years ago.

[lockwood]

Yeah, I didn't find out about the family curse until a few weeks before I triggered it.

[dontkanyeme]

Getting blindsided by that kind of thing really sucks.

[lockwood]

Yeah. It really does. It explained a lot though. Why I always the way I was.

[dontkanyeme]

It's not all you are though. It doesn't have to define you.

[lockwood]

I don't see how it can't.

[dontkanyeme]

You're more than you're genes, Tyler. Before I understood what I was, I thought I was a monster. I had this ability that I couldn't control and was killing people, and for some reason, I couldn't stop.

But once I learned more about what I was, I was able to help people. I was able to use those skills for good. There's no reason you can't do the same.

[lockwood]

I tried to help people. All I did was get them killed.

[It's how he sees things right now, anyways.

He always tries so hard and everything always just blows up in his face.]
