Received a phone call this evening from Donovan, who had a task for me. Basically, he had an incident, and needed to replace his tv – wanted me to go get it done, I just had to stop by his place first to pick up a credit card. Upon arrival at his place I find Scott, who got the same call. We head inside, where I get the credit card and we see the damage done.
Essentially, Donovan had gotten upset at a game and chucked a controller through his tv and the wall behind it. The wall was being taken care of, but he wanted us to handle the rest. We head out in Scott’s new convertible to the local Best Buy before they can close, and are helped by a one-eyed man with the odd name of Raul RonJackhand. Upon reciting his name he makes an obscene gesture, but I ignore it and tell him what we need. He directs us to it, and we collect the other item we need (a new Wiimote) and check out (the cashier was a total bitch and gave me some hassle, but we got the job done).
We get back to Donovan’s and get the tv set up now that the wall has been fixed, only for Donovan to discover that an HDMI cable has not been included. This pissed him off, and he asked for the employee’s name. I gave it, he made a phone call, waited a few and then left. A little while later he returned with Jackhand slung over his shoulder, unconscious. He flung him unceremoniously onto the couch, bit his (Donovan’s) wrist and smeared his blood over Jackhand’s face until a sufficient amount got into him, then woke him up, informing him that he was now his (Donovan’s) bitch.
From there the evening went interestingly enough. I spent a goodly portion of it in the kitchen cooking dinner, and Scott invited his girl Sandy over (with Donovan’s permission, of course). I sensed some kind of energy when she and Donovan met, so I kept an eye on her, not sure exactly where the energy had come from – especially as she was being so flirty with Donovan. Jackhand was mostly well behaved – I say mostly, because when someone would say Jackhand, he’d make that obscene jack off motion again. No one commented on it, however – perhaps because they figured he was mentally unsound?
We watched a movie, and it was partway through the movie that Scott got up and stormed out, presumable because Sandy had her hand on Donovan’s thigh. After Scott stormed out, Donovan put her to sleep with a word, and confessed that he had ensorceled Sandy. He had wanted to see what Scott would do, and was hoping for Scott to punch him, but that didn’t happen. He wrote a letter with an explanation in it, and had Jackhand deliver it. It took a while, but Scott got ahold of Donovan and they spoke. When Scott came back over he apologized again, and Donovan then invited us to move in with him, and we agreed, staying overnight.
