baby's first successful track

[provocate]

[He’s been here too long. He knows that, to some extent. Staying in a single base for too long is liable to attract attention to his ever-growing band of revolutionaries and anarchists. But he’s been feeling sort of tapped for creative energy for awhile now and that’s depressing. As much fun as the little disruptions can be, they are nothing compared to the high of a proper crime. And he hasn’t had one of those in… lord, a perigee now at least]

[So yes. He’s been here too long after they co-opted a rather large, if run down hive stem on the edge of this city’s lowblood slums, but he just… doesn’t… care… This evening, like a number of evenings before this, he finds himself lying on the floor of the penthouse block that he took for himself when they first arrived, staring blindly at the ceiling, trying to find the will to cause some proper trouble for someone… BLUH]

[ sdjklgsdjk OH YES GREAT IDEA NOTHING CAN GO WRONG except for the part where he gets bowled over by that and the knife nicks his hand before it goes clattering away, and Overseer's winded again easily thanks to earlier. CONGRATS DOUCHER you found your jadelet ]

[provocate]

[...oh he was going for the knife. Okay that makes sense. He'd be relieved it got knocked away if he was any less keyed up]

[As it is, he'll just be crawling up his body, keeping at least one hand on him at all times before he can finally reach up and close his hand in a vice grip around his throat]

[vigilantee]

[ He's like a spider, Overseer thinks in an absent moment of panic as he feels those angry hands tugs at him until they find what they want. The next thing he knows he's suffocating, hands frantically coming up to try and push and tug at his grip while he struggles ]

[provocate]

[Shit man you are really lucky the Baron is as gross as he is because he's catching those hands, pinning them and leaning down to lick his cheek...]

[And that close, he recognizes... the smell of him as something familiar and... doesn't let go of his throat, but at least he doesn't give in to the ever worsening impulse to just rip his throat out? Instead he's just kinda... breathing against his face LKSJDKLFJSDF]

[vigilantee]

[ THIS IS LIKE THE MOST HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE EVER OKAY it's like having Aline in your face. He's literally just waiting for his air to run out as he tugs uselessly at his arms, one already slick with blood from his palm ]

[provocate]

[Alright his eye... is finally starting to slowly, blearily focus so that's nice. Leans back when he can't quite manage to identify him by smell sldkfj and lets up on his throat enough that he's not... actively killing him at least]

[Not that leaning back does him any good because the Overseer is just kind of a big black blob to him in that getup. Squinting. Trying to focus faster and... not getting anywhere because his eye's been traumatized thanks bro. Confusion slowly replacing adrenalin fueled bloodlust...]

Who are you... [lakjsdf completely mystified AHAHA OVERSEER YOU ARE THE ACTUAL LAST PERSON HE EXPECTS TO ATTACK HIM IN HIS BASE LKAJSDF]

[vigilantee]

[ THANK GOODNESS FOR BATMAN MASKS??? LMFAO... no it does not look nearly as geeky but sjkgsk he won't be answering because right now he's wheezing and sucking in raspy breaths of hair, coughing and the whole shebang. If Baron's memory is good enough he might catch a bit of his voice from all that lung drama ]

[provocate]

[Yeah he hears it... It's still not really connecting though aklsdjfkjasdf He's got that terrible headache and his whole body is still trying to go a mile a minute. He's probably poking at the Overseer's throat with his claws, though he does a surprisingly decent job keeping his worser impulses in check. He is gonna need a thorough shooshpappin after this, honestly man you better not do this again ever]

[Bleary confused staring now, but at least he loosens even more on his throat?]

[vigilantee]

[ crying oh thank jeegus--Overseer can get some air into his lungs properly now, and uncomfortable pressure or not that's what he does as he tugs weakly on his wrists again. Why can't he ever win?? ]

L...et...g-go... [ Gog, is that his voice?? It's so scratchy he barely recognizes it ]

[provocate]

[laksdfkj sobs bro... you're getting there... slowly]

[BUT UH... YEP NOW IT CLICKS and he just sorta... bsod's for a second, letting him go but... sitting on him instead LSKJDF]

[Just... what]

What. [HOW ARE YOU HERE RIGHT NOW]

[vigilantee]

[ sdkjgs oh yes force what little air he has in his lungs out that will get you an answer )8< a wheezy, croaky little answer ]

Guhhh...

[provocate]

[...LKSJDF HUSH give him a second...]

[........right yeah okay. Glances down at him and then slowly reaches out, grabbing... idk the corner of a desk and using it to drag himself to his feet]

[Except no. No he doesn't want to stand right now, so he'll just... slump back to the ground beside him a second later. His gills hurt so badly chriiiist. Sorta breathless: ]

Good job. [You found him and almost beat him 8'> He's impressed]

[vigilantee]

[ sdkfjks so impressed he almost murdered him yaaaay ]

I wasn't...out for you ap-proval.

[provocate]

Good, because I don't.

[Sits up a little, trying to straighten his shoulders... only to give that up a second later, bending forward and setting his hands on his bent knees. Head dropping. He is damn near shaking with leftover adrenalin, still fighting the urge to finish what he started. UGH]

Don't ever do this again, dear.

[vigilantee]

[ sjkdgks excuse you B( Overseer leers, rolling onto his side to try and push himself up ]

Overseer.

[provocate]

[Slowly peers up at him. Or... well, at the black thing there that he knows is him? He can't really focus on anything specific yet lkjsdfkl]

Close.

[vigilantee]

It's my name. Memorize it. [ hisssssssss if Baron could see he'd see how badly Overseer is bristling behind his mask, pulling a strip of cloth from his person to tie around his hand. ]

[provocate]

Earn it, darling.

[Same rule as always. You're getting there, just... you need a little more work 8'> Sighs and just lksjdf shakes his hands out, rubbing at his eye. God damn HE FEELS EVEN WORSE NOW THEN HE DID BEFORE THIS STARTED YOU DICK]

[vigilantee]

I could have killed you. [ ....if he hadn't been such a goody two-shoes about it anyway ]

[provocate]

[...looks at him again. REALLY DUDE. REALLY YOU'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT 'COULD HAVE KILLED' AFTER THAT]

Looks like you lost your chance then. Maybe you aren't as close as I thought. [D r i e s t]

[vigilantee]

[ JSDFKSDKGS GLARING SO HARD ]

I wanted to beat you.

[provocate]

[LKSDJF CAN'T SEE IT]

Better luck next time, dear. [Eheh!]

[vigilantee]

[ sdjkgdsk shoves at his shoulder with an irritated sound ]

[provocate]

[OVERSEER YOU DUMBASS]

[Startled lsjdf and... snarls at him, grabbing his leg to pull it out from under him. STOP ATTACKING HIM HE IS BARELY BALANCED AS IT IS]

[vigilantee]

[ jkasdsfksda OH WELL FINE THEN ON HIS BACK AGAIN WITH A STARTLED SOUND, coughing and holding his chest ]
