once i wanted to be the greatest. (closed to casa whammy's)
The changes are subtle, but to the two people who live with Mello and are among those who know him the best, they should be loud as alarm bells: a fluid ease with which he now moves; a peculiar lilt to his voice when he talks; the disappearance of the scar from his face. Well, maybe that last one isn't so subtle after all - marks like that don't just disappear.
All in all, Mello appears to be in an uncharacteristic good mood. The reason for it, of course, is that he's no longer Mello but a demon in a Mello-suit, and that demon has what it wants - what it promised Mello in order to worm its way under his skin. And one of the house's other residents has something it wants even more of - power.
two fists of solid rock with brains that could explain any feeling. (city-wide; open)
It's Mello walking around, but it's also not. One dead giveaway that something is wrong is the fact that he's not wearing his trademark hooded jacket, but unlike the doppelganger who appeared weeks ago and vanished again without a trace, he's still wearing Mello's standard uniform of all black leather. He's not hiding his face, which no longer bears the large scar that serves as evidence of one of his greater failures, and there's a certain languidness to the way he walks now, a lack of tension that should seem strange to anyone who has ever crossed paths with Mello before.
He looks at you and smiles. That's definitely not normal, either.
and then came the rush of the flood, the stars at night turned deep to dust. (closed to jo and sharon)
Two human girls don't seem like much of an obstacle, really - sure, one of them has power, the demon can smell it on her, but she also has feelings for this boy, this body it has possessed. And feelings are such a strong influence, after all. The demon smiles inside of Mello's now-unscarred skin, and it looks far more sinister on him than an expression like this should appear.
