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]

[ 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 ]

[provocate]

[Sobs it takes literally everything in him not to crawl up his body and start choking him again. Instead he forces himself to his feet again, pacing a wide circle around the Overseer, clenching and unclenching his hands. Not what he needed. Really really... not... There is something quite anxious about the way he's breathing now]

[vigilantee]

[ Sob he's catching onto that as he watches him warily too, letting out a wheeze ]

........What?

[provocate]

[Sorta lksdf wanders aimlessly for a second before backtracking a little bit and sitting on the window sill. Looking at him from... over here lkjsdf still fidgeting. At least his vision is getting better quicker now. That's nice. Things are clearing up. The Overseer's actually got some definition to him instead of being a black blob...]

What...? [LKSJDF THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM HUSH]

[vigilantee]

.......

Have you been eating sopor? [ BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE MAN. You coming down from a bad trip ]

[provocate]

[...............]

What.

[THAT'S THE DUMBEST QUESTION HE'S EVER HEARD??? Although the comparison is probably... better then he realizes... sighs murder impulses are indeed trippy, and they're quite terrible when they're being directed at his kismesis :X]

[vigilantee]

[ If Baron wasn't blind he would see overseer making a =A= face. except not since lol mask ]

Sopor.

[provocate]

No. [Sighs and scrubs at his face again WOW HE WISHES HIS EYE WOULD JUST GET OVER THIS GOOD LORD. Muttered: ]

Kicked the habit sweeps ago. [...LKAJSDFLJ]

[vigilantee]

[ ...BARON THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH ABOUT YOU WOW ]

...Uh-huh.
