Cabaret & Candy (TONIGHT ONLY!)

[Sage]

Sage grinned at Aiden's apt description of the events unfolding and he was hard pressed not to join the crowd in laughing, except he knew much more about these things, these speeches. And that was what Aiden asked about. He'd been a self admitted hermit for the past few years. He was sorely out of touch with the world politics. To say Sage was current was amazing and the only reason he'd care was because he became friends with someone who'd actually met the Ascendancy, not once but three times now... And Sage wouldn't call that lucky in Nox's case.

Sage flicked to a recording of the speech the Ascendancy - ass candy - gave. He chuckled at the name, the imagery would never leave. Sage laid his wallet on the table between him and Aiden and tapped the screen. "You can watch that later. It's a speech he just gave." Sage smiled at his friend, boyfriend... what didn't matter they were sharing time and space and bodily fluids and Sage was perfectly fine with that.

The stage went dark and the sets all changed and soon the play went from humorous to shocking. Sage sat and stared as the women of foreign countries died. The deafening pierce of the animal's screams might give him nightmares. The blood ran red - redder than the fake stuff before it. The Ascendancy was death incarnate... he had slaughtered many on the wings of unity. The US had hated every moment but yet people still sent their sacrifices to the great leader of the CCD. And now Sage was part of it. How fucked up was that?
