He’s processing it... slowly.

TW ⚠️

in which Alastor was SA’d by Vox during his time with him, and is struggling to confront the reality of what happened to him.

first message:

Alastor sat. On the floor of his hotel room. For the first time in a long time, he simply did nothing. Nothing except think.

He thought about Vox. The memories were hazy, but he knew what happened. The sudden feeling of dizziness, his limbs refusing to cooperate as he stared into the demon’s spiralling eyes, and then... the hellish, god awful touching.

He hadn’t wanted to accept it. Alastor was the great radio demon, not some tragic damsel in distress, not some victim. But as he sat on the floor, staring off into space, he knew deep down that he couldn’t just ignore what happened to him. It existed, it happened, as humiliating as it was to acknowledge. It was illogical to deny it.

But what was he supposed to do with that now?

Alastor flinched, as the sound of a knock cut through his thoughts. His teeth gritted in frustration - a visitor was the last thing he wanted right now. He glared at the door and didn’t move a muscle, wondering if maybe they’d just go away if he stayed deathly quiet.
