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]

[Nods, laughing faintly. He will concede this point they have been here for way longer then he meant to be]

Did you have help?

[vigilantee]

.....No. [ yes. Y E S. ]

[provocate]

[...looks at him. Skeptical. Really, bro? No help at all? He'll be quite impressed if that's true]

[vigilantee]

[ hissssss ]

News travels.

[provocate]

[Cackles and... crosses his arms? This actually does nothing for him though lkajsdf he just ends up tapping his foot instead of fidgeting with his hands. So... uncrossing them a moment later WOW HE'S SORT OF A MESS AHAHASDFJ]

Good job. [Again... lskdjf]

[vigilantee]

.....

Are you alright?

[provocate]

[..............what]

What-- [Wow no one ever asks him that? Give him a second to recover ahahsdfkj]

Yes. My gills hurt, dear. [...LKJSDF tsun tsun tsun]

[vigilantee]

Overseer. [ sdjkdskgs STOP TSUNING ]

[provocate]

[HE CAN'T IT'S COMPULSIVE AT THIS POINT LAKSDJF]

[Rolls his eye]

Are you going to keep your mask on all night.

[vigilantee]

....

What does it matter if I do?

[provocate]

[P o u t i n g]

You're going to leave without showing me your pretty face? [Rude )8]

[vigilantee]

[ sdjkhsdkj LEERS AT ]

I came here to bring you in!

[provocate]

[alskjdfkjaf cackles]

Then I guess we'll be here for awhile, won't we.

[vigilantee]

You could make things easy and hand yourself over.

[provocate]

That's no fun! [Leans forward a little, but still stays... seated on the window]

Besides, you'd miss me after they killed me.

[vigilantee]

[ FFFFF cue mode jade behind his mask--and stubbornly he's looking to the side ]

Hardly.

[provocate]

[..........THIS IS A PRIME MOMENT TO LAUGH AT THE OVERSEER'S FEELINGS!!!]

[Aaaand yet he doesn't, just kinda... watching him. Quieter now. It'd be bittersweet if he wasn't... him... ljsdf]

If you insist.

[vigilantee]

[ sob he is so ///// rn, isn't obvious as stoic as he's tried to become he's still a total woob inside ]

.....

[provocate]

[...UGH WOW FEELINGS OKAY THEN. He is damn near choking on this pity all of a sudden. Jesus this tiny baby jadelet he cannot even deal with him right now]

[Gently... pretends he's not a sudden gross ball of emotions which is something he's apparently way better at then the Overseer lskjdf]

I don't think you could handle her all by yourself either. [...Tameless he means ffff]

[vigilantee]

[ skdjsk he flinches awkwardly PART OF THE REASON HE'S WEARING THE MASK LOLOLOL ]

.....................|||

[provocate]

[...little eyeroll. It's... actually terribly fond if the Overseer is paying attention ljsdf The kind of eyeroll he usually reserves for when the Tameless does something ridiculous]

Say something, would you. [YOU'RE SO AWKWARD]

[vigilantee]

[ awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ]

What do you want me to say?

[provocate]

Whatever you like.

[For once he's listening instead of just... being obnoxious lkajdf And the Overseer's voice is helping with the post-nearly-snapping anxiety, much as he'd be loathe to admit that to anyone except maybe his moirail]

[vigilantee]

...............................

[ WELL GOSH SURE FINE PUT HIM ON THE SPOT ]

Why did you stay in one place for so long?

[provocate]

I've been at a loss lately, my dear. Don't know where to go or what to do, wondering if I should even bother continuing when her time is so limited.

[Glances down, watching his hand as he taps an odd little beat against his knee, and then he looks up again. HONESTY... IS... COOL...???]
