They can be used to let you know when someone is approaching a corner. Your kitchen's safety is greatly enhanced by making sure your employees wear non-slip shoes and providing rubber flooring mats to protect against injury from prolonged standing.

Servingware: There is no restaurant if there aren't any plates to hold the food. There will be plenty of cutlery, plates, bowls, and ramekins to serve the food.

It's common to break a glass or plate in a restaurant kitchen, especially if there are high volumes.

LET ME GO! LET ME GO!

“Hey, you okay there?” Victor’s voice drags Lawson out of whatever he had been thinking of. You’re on the other side of the room with Princess Shuri, as they try on different measures and materials to see how they reach. Lawson can smell the sizzling of different objects, but instead of moving away -- you are sitting there and taking it all in. However, the smell of melting rubber and metals don’t leave the same rancid aftertaste in the back of his throat compared to the smell of rotting, melting flesh that he had gone through once.

He feels the side of his face in thought, as green eyes keep looking at him, “She sure has changed.”

Victor lets out a good-natured laugh, “Yeah, Captain Rogers has helped quite a deal with that.”

Lawson lets out a hum, as he watches you laugh and smile just a bit with the Wakadan princess, and can’t help but wonder how a doll managed to finally gain feelings.

The Avengers that are there with you aren’t quick to enter the battered land once known as Sokovia -- their faces are too well-known and even hated in the area by some. Due to this, it was the Falcon and the Scarlet Witch that were at your side in the last place Gideon had been seen, instead of a certain blond and while that did bother you a little, both of them were friendlier than you imagined them to be.

“It’s only worse than before,” Wanda whispers to herself and as much as governments and people had done their best to rebuild Sokovia, but there were things that always fell below the cracks and things that couldn’t be stopped. Corruption was still rampant and the protest that the Maximoffs had once been part of had turned into full-on gangs and other such problems.

You wonder if your own place of birth --the place where the S.H.I.E.L.D agents had found had changed in any sort of way and wherever you would recognize it, much less feel any sort of pain towards the loss. Thinking about this person who called himself your brother sent your heart racing, you wanted to run and hide -- the world had enough monsters with him and his group around, and even more so than that.

“Stay close to me,” you hear the Falcon declare as you see his small, mechanical bird take flight to take a look around the area. Wanda moves ahead of the two of you, as you watch her move and covered in the red swirls that come with her powers -- they were completely different from you, but they still scared the hell out of people.

You wonder how she could live with it all.

“Stay close to me,” Sam remarks, turning you away from your thoughts as you give him a brief nod.

However, there was always a difference in being prepared in simulations and being actually ready and prepared on the field -- you learn that the hard way as bombs start exploding behind you and the decrepit buildings.    

Hey, hey. Can you hear me?

It is what you should be hearing over the gun smoke and fighting, but there is something else getting into your mind. The bombings and ambush had dragged you from Sam and further into the building and though some armed men had tried to take you, it quickly ended when their hands touched your open skin. You watched them burn and that’s when you heard it---

There’s a melody calling you, though you aren’t sure from where you have heard from before as you find yourself walking deeper into the maze, where the stairs meet the upper floor. There is dizziness settling into your bones as you feel yourself start heating up. You grasp your collar line in pain before slowly feeling your knees buckle before you. You’re gasping for breathing when you hear his voice -- it’s like gravel to your ears as breathing starts to become harder and harder to do so.

“Father would be so disappointed in your right now,” you look up with blurred vision to see a young man that looks younger than you, with dark-colored hair but eyes that were almost your eye color if he wasn’t looking at you with a glare. Your ears start to go out, but he keeps going on with his monologue.

From it all, you understood that Father was a man that wanted to watch the world burn, Gideon and his thousands of selves from what you could feel and see with the marking similar to yours in his hands. He was just like you, but more imperfect as you smelled the familiar smell of mercury and sulfur burning in the air.

And you hated him, yourself, and all of this so so much.

He comes closer to you his feet near your knees at you look up at him. You wonder if there is any emotion on your face because there is clearly none on his as he grabs your neck. Stone and crystal making a connection to each other that sends a freezing sensation over the burning like you’re being frozen and cooked all at the same time. You let out a silent scream, as he forces you to look at him.

“The electric sheep are dreaming up for your fate, little doll,” Gideon manages to let out, as he struggles with his own breathing. There is some type of connection going on between the two of you, as he grins. You want to say something, anything to make him stop asking why he is going too far.

But, your vision starts to blacken even more and by the end of it, you don’t notice a familiar item being thrown your way and the shout of your name.

It takes you three days to wake up. You’re stuff and disjointed for a good hour, as Victor watches over you in the quinjet on the way back to the Avengers base. You had been glowing for a good while after Captain Rogers had saved you since back-up had to be called after you were lost and the armed forces were too much for Sam and Wanda. You didn’t talk for another two as you were trying to process what had happened and the leftover information embedded in your “heart”.

Captain Rogers didn’t visit you in the aftermath and you couldn’t help but feel a little bit disappointed compared to the last time. Maybe, he understood now.

Maybe, that’s why you set out to find him once the dead of night came once more. You end up walking most of the building that you already knew and then some until you find him in one of the gyms, punching away at a poor, defenseless bag. You were starting to suspect there was more to him than he let one, but you weren’t sure whether you wanted to know what was underneath the polite and distant veneer of Captain America.

However, for now, you had come for another thing and you were certain he already knew you were near so you decided to the best with the distance between the two of you.

“I’m sorry if I disappointed you!” you scream out, as Steve stops and looks at you for a good second.

You stand there, awkward for what feels like forever as Steve grabs a towel and makes his way over to you. You wonder if this is what true embarrassment feels like as he seems bothered but also amused by your little declaration.

“There’s nothing—“

“I may be a doll, but I’m not a child, Captain Rogers,” you push forward as he watches you explain with a disgruntled look on your face, “I compromised the mission and almost got kidnapped, that isn't the best start to my on-field career.”

“Well, that means it can only get better,” Steve remarks with a small smile on his face.

You stare at him, unsure of how to go about the remark before letting out a small but stiff laugh. It seemed so unlike him to make a  joke about such a serious thing, but you are sure that there were sides many didn’t know about when it came to Steve Rogers. You were just lucky for now.

“Is your hand all right?” you ask after calming down, though you won’t admit it had been on your mind for a very long time -- you knew what your powers did to people, you had seen it on Lawson’s face every time he came and had seen it when those men had tried to take you.

“Good as can be,” Steve nods, as you can’t help but let out a small of relief. He doesn’t make of motion of whether he notices or not. Instead, he looks at you and then the equipment.

“We haven’t trained in a while,” Steve remarks as you look at the gym requirement and then your gloved hands in question, “There are also some that Shuri has been meaning to test out in regards to your ability.”

You nod at the mention of Shuri and follow the man for a night of training and trying to forget --at least for now-- what is waiting for you in regards of your “brother” and whatever else he might be doing. You even fail to notice that your hands manage to touch Steve without your gloves for a few instances here and there, as he lays you on the mat several times.

However, throughout the whole thing, you try to ignore the fact that you can feel your stones and crystal cracking.

5 differences between electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats 

Electrical room floor mats vs. Rubber floor mats 

What sets them apart from each other?

In this blog, we will help you explore the key differences. We will discuss about electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats in details.

Let us dive into the differences between these two!

Here are the

 5 differences between electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats! 

 1. Composition: 

Manufacturers make electrical room floor mats with rubber compounds. These rubber compounds have high electric resistivity. They make them with such material to withstand high voltage. They go through vulcanization. This shapes them to achieve desirable properties. Ensure safety and compliance with the highest rubber mat standards for electrical panel.

But, rubber mat manufacturers make mats with natural rubber and synthetic rubber compounds. Manufacturers also add polymers like Styrene Butadiene and Nitrile Butadiene. They add them to get some desired properties. They add fillers and vulcanizing agents. Vulcanizing agents give them characteristics for specific applications.

Besides, manufacturers make different rubber floor mats to serve various purposes. They make rubber sheets with different materials like silicone, Viton, or other elastomers. Rubber floor mats serve versatile industries.

 2. Purpose: 

Electrical room floor mats serve the purpose of protecting people from electrical hazards. Substations, control panels, and transformers have high operating voltage. People operating them have a risk of electrical accidents. Electric floor heat mat can withstand high temperature.

Meanwhile, people use rubber floor mats for various purposes. People use rubber floor mats for safety and comfort. Rubber floor mat offers cushioning to the feet. It reduces stress and fatigue with that property. Ribbed mats ensure safety. People reduce the risks of falling or slipping by installing them. Rubber mat can withstand high temperatures. But, not like that of an electric floor heat mat.

How does an electrical floor mat prevent shock?

Often the equipment can have manufacturing faults. Workplaces having such equipment can cause short circuits. They can discharge high currents.

Rubber mat electrical ensures the electrical safety of a workplace. It protects the workers from such high currents.

It does not let the current pass through the human body. Thus, people use rubber mat for electrical room to protect people from shock. It also protects people from short-circuits.

Do rubber floor mats reduce noise?

Yes, rubber floor mats reduce noise. People use them for soundproofing. They check the transmission of noise. As a result, they reduce the impact of noise.

Suppose you are at a gym. You are working out with heavy weights and machines. There will be a lot of noise when they come in contact with the ground. You can install rubber floor mats in your gym to reduce such noises. Neoprene rubber sheets have sound absorption properties.They make the environment more comfortable.

 3. Electrical properties: 

Electrical room floor mats have high dielectric strength. They can withstand high voltage without breaking down. Their special electrical property makes them the best insulation tools. The power industry uses electrical insulation matting for this reason.

Rubber mat electrical prevents electric shock. Workers in substation work with high voltage electrical devices. They are vulnerable to electric shocks. Rubber mat for substations saves the workers from injuries. They also lessen deaths due to electric shock.

It is non-conductive. It does not allow current to flow from the source to the ground. Insulating mats prevent the passing of current from one's body.

But, rubber floor mats have lesser dielectric strength than insulating mats. They can endure voltage to an extent. Dealing with high voltage for a long time damages a rubber mat. They do not help in shock prevention. They can resist electricity till a point. They do not have as high electrical resistivity as insulating mats.

What happens to a rubber floor mat in high voltage for a long time?

In high voltage, a rubber floor mat-

Damages- Rubber mats wear and tear when exposed to very high voltages. They break down in high electricity. It boosts their aging and spoils their condition.

Fades- The texture of a rubber mat fades. Its color fades. It loses its finishing and develops wrinkles. This is a sign of aging. It means that the rubber floor mat will expire soon.

Hardens- When a rubber floor mat damages in high-voltage exposure, it hardens. Hardening lessens the quality of the rubber sheet. Finally, it finishes its service life. You cannot use a rubber mat after that.

 4. Fire resistant: 

Sometimes, electrical hazards can result in the starting of a fire. You can stop the spread of fire with electrical room floor mats. Insulating mats are resistant to fire.

How will an electrical room floor mat help you during a fire outbreak?

Suppose you are working in a substation. There is some old electrical equipment that you have to operate. The wire connections have loosened and the cables have worn off. Due to this, a short circuit takes place.

Due to the current overflow, there is a starting of fire. If your substation has electrical room floor mats, you will be safe. They will resist the flames and reduce the spread of fire. The industrial safety floor mats will reduce your liability costs. Rubber mat electrical also reduces medical expenses by checking the fire outbreak.

However, rubber floor mats are not fire-resistant. They can withstand high temperatures. But they cannot resist the starting and spread of fire. Thus, if you have a risk of a fire outbreak in your workplace, you should avoid rubber floor mats. Yet, neoprene and Hypalon rubber mats have some flame-resistant properties. You should aways go for rubber mat electrical for resisting fire.

 5. Areas of application: 

The power industry installs insulating mats in switchrooms. The power industry has high-voltage electrical equipment. They need electrical insulation.

People use electrical insulation matting near HT and LT panels, and control rooms.

They also install them in lift rooms and near switchboards.

Additionally, they install rubber mat electrical in transformer rooms.

Meanwhile, people install rubber floor mats for residents and industries.

People use rubber flooring for noise reduction.

People use rubber flooring in schools, gyms, bathrooms, and hospitals. Rubber matting also reduces the risks of accidents.

They also install them in ice rink arenas and commercial settings.

To Summarize In brief, electrical room floor mats and rubber floor mats are both composed of rubber. People install the first one to ensure electrical safety. They use insulating mats in areas prone to high voltages. Primarily, the power industry has several rubber mat electrical applications. But, people use rubber matting to reduce physical accidents. They also use it for noise cancellation and others. People use them for residential electrical room mat

rubber safety floor matsand commercial purposes.

Rolling up rugs and space coverings before taking to out of doors areas to shake off and vacuum. Sweep high traffic areas frequently with a soft-armed broom followed by an electricity mop to choose up lightweight dirt particles. Small dirt particles, dirt and different forms of trash will scratch, dent and mark wood flooring once they're stepped on. Vacuum the ground daily with a hardwood flooring specific household appliance.

 Their square measure usually 2 forms of household appliance heads…types for carpet and kinds for hardwood floors. Make sure to use the hardwood flooring attachment as it's designed to be a lot of gentler on wood floorboards.

There Will Come Soft Rains

Ray Bradbury (1950)

In the living room the voice-clock sang, Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock! as if it were afraid that nobody would. The morning house lay empty. The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. Seven-nine, breakfast time, seven-nine!

In the kitchen the breakfast stove gave a hissing sigh and ejected from its warm interior eight pieces of perfectly browned toast, eight eggs sunny side up, sixteen slices of bacon, two coffees, and two cool glasses of milk.

"Today is August 4, 2026," said a second voice from the kitchen ceiling, "in the city of Allendale, California." It repeated the date three times for memory's sake. "Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills."

Somewhere in the walls, relays clicked, memory tapes glided under electric eyes.

Eight-one, tick-tock, eight-one o'clock, off to school, off to work, run, run, eight-one! But no doors slammed, no carpets took the soft tread of rubber heels. It was raining outside. The weather box on the front door sang quietly: "Rain, rain, go away; umbrellas, raincoats for today..." And the rain tapped on the empty house, echoing.

Outside, the garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. After a long wait the door swung down again.

At eight-thirty the eggs were shrivelled and the toast was like stone. An aluminium wedge scraped them into the sink, where hot water whirled them down a metal throat which digested and flushed them away to the distant sea. The dirty dishes were dropped into a hot washer and emerged twinkling dry.

Nine-fifteen, sang the clock, time to clean.

Out of warrens in the wall, tiny robot mice darted. The rooms were a crawl with the small cleaning animals, all rubber and metal. They thudded against chairs, whirling their moustached runners, kneading the rug nap, sucking gently at hidden dust. Then, like mysterious invaders, they popped into their burrows. Their pink electric eyes faded. The house was clean.

Ten o'clock. The sun came out from behind the rain. The house stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes. This was the one house left standing. At night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which could be seen for miles.

Ten-fifteen. The garden sprinklers whirled up in golden founts, filling the soft morning air with scatterings of brightness. The water pelted window panes, running down the charred west side where the house had been burned, evenly free of its white paint. The entire west face of the house was black, save for five places. Here the silhouette in paint of a man mowing a lawn. Here, as in a photograph, a woman bent to pick flowers. Still farther over, their images burned on wood in one titanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into the air; higher up, the image of a thrown ball, and opposite him a girl, hands raised to catch a ball which never came down.

The five spots of paint - the man, the woman, the children, the ball - remained. The rest was a thin charcoaled layer.

The gentle sprinkler rain filled the garden with falling light.

Until this day, how well the house had kept its peace. How carefully it had inquired, "Who goes there? What's the password?" and, getting no answer from lonely foxes and whining cats, it had shut up its windows and drawn shades in an old-maidenly preoccupation with self-protection which bordered on a mechanical paranoia.

It quivered at each sound, the house did. If a sparrow brushed a window, the shade snapped up. The bird, startled, flew off! No, not even a bird must touch the house!

Twelve noon.

A dog whined, shivering, on the front porch.

The front door recognized the dog voice and opened. The dog, once huge and fleshy, but now gone to bone and covered with sores, moved in and through the house, tracking mud. Behind it whirred angry mice, angry at having to pick up mud, angry at inconvenience.

For not a leaf fragment blew under the door but what the wall panels flipped open and the copper scrap rats flashed swiftly out. The offending dust, hair, or paper, seized in miniature steel jaws, was raced back to the burrows. There, down tubes which fed into the cellar, it was dropped into the sighing vent of an incinerator which sat like evil Baal in a dark corner.

The dog ran upstairs, hysterically yelping to each door, at last realizing, as the house realized, that only silence was here.

It sniffed the air and scratched the kitchen door. Behind the door, the stove was making pancakes which filled the house with a rich baked odour and the scent of maple syrup.

The dog frothed at the mouth, lying at the door, sniffing, its eyes turned to fire. It ran wildly in circles, biting at its tail, spun in a frenzy, and died. It lay in the parlor for an hour.

Two o'clock, sang a voice.

Delicately sensing decay at last, the regiments of mice hummed out as softly as blown gray leaves in an electrical wind.

Two-fifteen.

The dog was gone.

In the cellar, the incinerator glowed suddenly and a whirl of sparks leaped up the chimney.

Two thirty-five.

Bridge tables sprouted from patio walls. Playing cards fluttered onto pads in a shower of pips. Martinis manifested on an oaken bench with egg-salad sandwiches. Music played.

But the tables were silent and the cards untouched.

At four o'clock the tables folded like great butterflies back through the paneled walls .

Four-thirty.

The nursery walls glowed.

Animals took shape: yellow giraffes, blue lions, pink antelopes, lilac panthers cavorting in crystal substance. The walls were glass. They looked out upon color and fantasy. Hidden films clocked through well-oiled sprockets, and the walls lived. The nursery floor was woven to resemble a crisp, cereal meadow. Over this ran aluminum roaches and iron crickets, and in the hot still air butterflies of delicate red tissue wavered among the sharp aroma of animal spoors! There was the sound like a great matted yellow hive of bees within a dark bellows, the lazy bumble of a purring lion. And there was the patter of okapi feet and the murmur of a fresh jungle rain, like other hoofs, falling upon the summer-starched grass. Now the walls dissolved into distances of parched grass, mile on mile, and warm endless sky. The animals drew away into thorn brakes and water holes. It was the children's hour.

Five o'clock. The bath filled with clear hot water.

Six, seven, eight o'clock. The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks, and in the study a click. In the metal stand opposite the hearth where a fire now blazed up warmly, a cigar popped out, half an inch of soft gray ash on it, smoking, waiting.

Nine o'clock. The beds warmed their hidden circuits, for nights were cool here.

Nine-five. A voice spoke from the study ceiling: "Mrs. McClellan, which poem would you like this evening?" The house was silent.

The voice said at last, "Since you express no preference, I shall select a poem at random." Quiet music rose to back the voice. "Sara Teasdale. As I recall, your favourite...

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,

And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,

And wild plum trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire,

Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one

Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,

If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn

Would scarcely know that we were gone."

The fire burned on the stone hearth and the cigar fell away into a mound of quiet ash on its tray. The empty chairs faced each other between the silent walls, and the music played.

At ten o'clock the house began to die.

The wind blew. A falling tree bough crashed through the kitchen window. Cleaning solvent, bottled, shattered over the stove. The room was ablaze in an instant!

"Fire!" screamed a voice. The house lights flashed, water pumps shot water from the ceilings. But the solvent spread on the linoleum, licking, eating, under the kitchen door, while the voices took it up in chorus: "Fire, fire, fire!"

The house tried to save itself. Doors sprang tightly shut, but the windows were broken by the heat and the wind blew and sucked upon the fire.

The house gave ground as the fire in ten billion angry sparks moved with flaming ease from room to room and then up the stairs. While scurrying water rats squeaked from the walls, pistolled their water, and ran for more. And the wall sprays let down showers of mechanical rain.

But too late. Somewhere, sighing, a pump shrugged to a stop. The quenching rain ceased. The reserve water supply which had filled baths and washed dishes for many quiet days was gone.

The fire crackled up the stairs. It fed upon Picassos and Matisses in the upper halls, like delicacies, baking off the oily flesh, tenderly crisping the canvases into black shavings. Now the fire lay in beds, stood in windows, changed the colors of drapes!

And then, reinforcements. From attic trapdoors, blind robot faces peered down with faucet mouths gushing green chemical.

The fire backed off, as even an elephant must at the sight of a dead snake.

Now there were twenty snakes whipping over the floor, killing the fire with a clear cold venom of green froth.

But the fire was clever. It had sent flame outside the house, up through the attic to the pumps there. An explosion! The attic brain which directed the pumps was shattered into bronze shrapnel on the beams.

The fire rushed back into every closet and felt of the clothes hung there.

The house shuddered, oak bone on bone, its bared skeleton cringing from the heat, its wire, its nerves revealed as if a surgeon had torn the skin off to let the red veins and capillaries quiver in the scalded air. Help, help! Fire! Run, run! Heat snapped mirrors like the first brittle winter ice. And the voices wailed. Fire, fire, run, run, like a tragic nursery rhyme, a dozen voices, high, low, like children dying in a forest, alone, alone. And the voices fading as the wires popped their sheathings like hot chestnuts. One, two, three, four, five voices died.

In the nursery the jungle burned. Blue lions roared, purple giraffes bounded off. The panthers ran in circles, changing color, and ten million animals, running before the fire, vanished off toward a distant steaming river.... Ten more voices died.

In the last instant under the fire avalanche, other choruses, oblivious, could be heard announcing the time, cutting the lawn by remote-control mower, or setting an umbrella frantically out and in, the slamming and opening front door, a thousand things happening, like a clock shop when each clock strikes the hour insanely before or after the other, a scene of maniac confusion, yet unity; singing, screaming, a few last cleaning mice darting bravely out to carry the horrid ashes away! And one voice, with sublime disregard for the situation, read poetry aloud in the fiery study, until all the film spools burned, until all the wires withered and the circuits cracked.

The fire burst the house and let it slam flat down, puffing out skirts of spark and smoke.

In the kitchen, an instant before the rain of fire and timber, the stove could be seen making breakfasts at a psychopathic rate, ten dozen eggs, six loaves of toast, twenty dozen bacon strips, which, eaten by fire, started the stove working again, hysterically hissing!

The crash. The attic smashing into kitchen and parlour. The parlour into cellar, cellar into sub-cellar. Deep freeze, armchair, film tapes, circuits, beds, and all like skeletons thrown in a cluttered mound deep under.

Smoke and silence. A great quantity of smoke.

Dawn showed faintly in the east. Among the ruins, one wall stood alone. Within the wall, a last voice said, over and over again and again, even as the sun rose to shine upon the heaped rubble and steam:

"Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is..."

Mar 25 Day 1 – Firsts • Kitchen disasters @taakitzweek

First chapter for Taakitz week

Five unforgettable scenes from Kravitz's life with his love. Slightly AU: No Starblaster, still Reaper, still Wizards. Written for Taakitz week 2018, updating daily until the 29th.

(fears not)

Kravitz knows this is gonna be a weird one when his first foot touches down on the other side. He’s suspended for a second between the grave-silence of the astral plane, the lull of a billion souls at his back, and a disheveled, lavish parlor with a greasy sheen of necromantic energy slopped over it.

The rift hardens around him with a twang echoed by a ringing bell, goes viscous and sticky. He has to fight to get both feet on the floor before it closes up. A woman shouts and the bell quiets. Kravitz reevaluates from weird to dangerous and manifests his scythe.

“We’re in the kitchen!” someone calls in a high, familiar voice that makes Kravitz freeze.

He picks his way through the debris littering the parlor—dirty dishes, discarded clothes, nests of blankets like people have been sleeping there—and pushes the door open with his scythe.

It’s an abattoir inside. Every surface is covered in oilcloth tarps, but Kravitz can barely see them under the puddled blood. There’s a corpse open on the central table, intestines stretched and spooled on hooks overhead. Another corpse hangs upside-down on a hook over the sink, blood running down into the drain like a waterfall.

There are more corpses wrapped in shrouds and stacked like logs in the corner. This is where the necromantic energy is concentrated; Kravitz can feel eddies of magic like slick ice. Preservation spells. Bottom-tier shit, barely an infraction, but there are just so many. Not one of them raised, though.

He finally turns to the living people in the room. Normally he’d have dealt with them first, but, well. He doesn’t recognize the third—human, middle-aged, pudgy—but he’s not surprised by the bitten-off grins and glinting eyes of the two elves. Taako’s on a stool as far from the corpses as he can get it, booted feet crusted in blood and hooked up over the rungs. Lup’s at the table with the human, scalpel in her hand. She waves.

“What,” he says flatly. The twins snicker. They and their friend are in rubber ponchos and gloves pulled up past their elbows. The human avoids his gaze. The taint of necromancy is heavy on his skin, even worse than the parlor. But the few hooks it has in his soul are shallow. He sweats out his fears, hands trembling with both anxiety and fatigue. Right in front of Kravitz he starts prying the corpse’s liver free.

“That’s some sick shit,” Kravitz says. “What the fuck is wrong with the three of you?” Lup keels over and laughs helplessly into the corpse’s open chest. She’s punch-drunk with exhaustion, her hair a frizzy halo matted with sweat and grease. Neither she nor Taako wear the passage of the years on their skin. They won’t for many decades more. Kravitz isn’t used to people who know him. When even was the last time he talked to a mortal who wasn’t afraid?

Taako hops up from his stool. He shucks off his gloves before gliding over to take Kravitz’s arm. Kravitz lets his scythe vanish. “Let’s have this conversation somewhere not-gross, hun.”

Kravitz lets Taako lead him out to the parlor. Taako throws himself down in the blankets on the sofa, pats the cushion beside him, and kicks a cascade of dirty dishes off the coffee table to put his feet up. Kravitz raises an eyebrow at him.

Taako runs waves of prestidigitation up his arms and across his face.  The tickle makes him sneeze as the grime vanishes from his skin in increments. “C’mon Krav, we ain’t got all day. Haven’t you heard there’s a plague on?”

Kravitz relents and sits down stiffly at Taako’s side. Taako grins and presses against him from knee to shoulder. He barely smells like blood, thank the gods.

Taako looks up at him through his lashes. He’s got days-old eyeshadow on, smeared a deep bruise purple and mirroring the dark bags under his eyes. He’s beautiful. He catches Kravitz’s eye and grins. “You can put your skin on. The vector’s bodily fluids, you’re fine so long as you don’t lick a corpse.”

The crawl of flesh over his bones unnerves Kravitz. He doesn’t do this often. The room dims and softens through the filter of physical eyes. Everything around him, though—the heat rolling off Taako’s body, the velvety crinkle of the cushions beneath them—that intensifies. Kravitz finds that Taako actually smells quite a bit like blood, and like stale sweat and fatigue and greasy food besides.

He also smells like himself. Kravitz has to turn a deep inhale into a discreet cough. “I hadn’t planned on getting as up-close and personal with corpses as you all have been. If this is what medical science is like then I would’ve been happier not knowing.”

“You’re telling me with a straight face that you, the Grim-fuckin’-Reaper, don’t slay corpses on the reg?”

“Zombies aren’t that juicy, Taako.”

Taako cracks up and fists a hand in Kravitz’s vest. Every single one of his knuckles burns like a brand, fizzles like electricity. It is suddenly very, very warm in the parlor.

It’s high summer. Kravitz knew this. He’s been busy in the area for weeks now. Necromantic activity surges after any disaster. Grief, despair, instability—a boiling cauldron of need and regret. He never used to understand why mortals would feel driven by all that to defy the peace of death. Looking at Taako, though—at the banked fear in his eyes, his tongue slipping out to wet cracked lips—he thinks he gets it. His face is mirrored in his sister’s, and they spent their youths clawing for every breath they drew.

They’re different. They’ve grown into their skin. Taako’s fingers aren’t wire-thin anymore, and his eyes are bright even through the fug of exhaustion. His hair’s thick and healthy underneath the grease, pulled up around his head in a burnished crown of braids. Taako’s watching Kravitz’s mouth, so he swallows hard and speaks.

“Tell me what you’ve found out about the plague. Assuming that is what you’re doing—you’re not just chopping corpses up for fun, right?”

Taako giggles. The tips of his ears flick, and he launches into an explanation about viruses and liver failure that uses words like cirrhosis and cholestasis and atresia. He says four times that it’s his sister’s project, her and her crush, and that he wouldn’t dissect a corpse for an entire boatload of gold. But he’s clearly been paying attention. And Kravitz knows Taako would do a lot worse for a lot less.

The twins are so much stronger now. Kravitz thinks it must be hope that has them staying in a dying city, doing their best to help. He’d thought they might be brilliant. Taako talks with his hands and laughs brightly—this plague is one of many tragedies to him, and he’s learned something like happiness despite it. Kravitz isn’t sure how much of that’s because the twins have a solid roof over their heads and the support of the human in the kitchen.  He remembers Taako’s intensity; this vibrancy is a new look for him, and it’s breathtaking.

“I just killed a necromancer,” Kravitz says, when Taako’s story peters out. Taako’s moved his hand down to Kravitz’s thigh. That’s all Kravitz has been thinking about for minutes—he hasn’t learned a damn thing about medicine.

“We the bottom of your list, bubbeleh?”

“The very bottom. What’s Hallwinter’s deal, though?”

“Hallwinter? Gods, the man has us calling him Bluejeans,” Taako wheezes. No response from the kitchen. They can’t hear Lup and Barry—not their conversation, not the squelch of offal between their fingers. “He’s some university professor-type givin’ Lup magic lessons. And now anatomy, I guess. But not in the sexy way. She loved his thesis. He’s gone on her, it’s adorable.”

“He’s walking a dangerous line, Taako,” Kravitz says. He’s doing everything he can to ignore the magic permeating Barry’s house. He wants to focus on the rise and fall of Taako’s chest, on the curve of his smile. “I know of zero cases of ‘academic’ necromancy that didn’t end in tragedy.”

“Well of course you don’t,” Taako says, rolling his eyes. “Tragedy’s your whole schtick. Tell me this isn’t the longest you’ve ever just hung out.”

It’s not. It’s the second longest in several centuries, and Taako was there for the first as well. Kravitz doesn’t say that. The scratch of Taako’s chipped nails over the fabric of his suit has become unpleasant, so he captures Taako’s hand in his and squeezes it.

“Whoof, that’s a clammy one!” Taako says in a tone of pure delight. “Oh my gods you’re cold. Hold still.”

Taako steals Kravitz’s hand and presses it to his brow. His face is unbelievably hot. A pang of fear squeezes something in Kravitz’s chest. “You’re not running a fever, are you?”

“No-pe” Taako says, popping the p. “That was our first success—we’ve got a diagnostic spell now. Me ‘n Lup ‘n Barold are all squeaky-clean. You’re gonna be out of work in short order.”

“Sounds good to me,” Kravitz says. He trails fingertips down Taako’s cheek. Taako gives him a wolfish look and presses his face into Kravitz’s.

“Hey,” he says, breath puffing against Kravitz’s lips.

Kravitz pauses. Watches the light filter through Taako’s hair. “…Hey?”

Taako shifts back and levels a look at him. “Kravitz. I am flirting with you. Take a fuckin’ hint.”

The laugh bubbling in Kravitz’s throat catches him by surprise. He doesn’t know how Taako manages to do that to him. He loves it. He pulls Taako down on top of him and they both giggle helplessly, chests heaving against each other. Even after he catches his breath there’s still something moving under his ribs, steady and insistent.

“Can I kiss you?” Taako sing-songs against his neck.  Kravitz has been asked this by him exactly once before, and he’d said no. He’d wondered afterwards for so, so long.

“Yes,” he says this time.

He doesn’t get to lecture Lup and Barry on necromancy. They have more than enough time to clean up and dispel everything. Kravitz spends the evening drinking in the feel of Taako’s lips against his, the scent of his skin and hair. It’s a first for him, and, like all firsts with Taako, he’s left yearning for more.
