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]

[...NOPE]

[NOPE NOPE NOPE he is not in the mood to get half set off again thank you very much so he's rising from the window sill and has... crossed the room a second later YEAH SPEEDINESS Gonna grab his wrist and reach into his coat for him if he can. Let him just collect these light things from you so you never use them again]

[vigilantee]

Hey--! [ sdkjfdjs JEEGUS HE FORGETS HOW FAST BARON IS WHEN HE CAN SEE??? Overseer barely gets a blink in before he's suddenly struggling to get Baron off of him and get AT LEAST ONE OFF ;A; ]

[provocate]

[FOR]

[FUCK'S]

[SAKE OVERSEER DID YOU LEARN NOTHING THE FIRST TIME]

[BUT FINE HE'S BLINDED AGAIN LET HIM JUST]

[GRAB YOUR WRIST A LITTLE HARDER AND LAKJSDFKLJ DISCUS TOSS YOU INTO A WALL???]

[vigilantee]

[ sdkljfhsdjkgs SOB YEP HE SURE GOES FLYING AND HITS THAT AND....CRUMPLES TO THE FLOOR? basically just stunned and winded all over again thanks, he can barely move sjkdgsdk ]

[provocate]

[Sobs he told you not to do this again dude... DUDE]

[Because yeah he... definitely looks... like a mess again, covering his face and fighting with himself as hard as he possibly can BECAUSE GUESS WHAT HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY WANT TO KILL YOU DESPITE HIS MESSED UP BRAIN TELLING HIM OTHERWISE RIGHT NOW. just kinda... folds down to his knees and curls in on himself before too long. His claws are digging into his face hard enough to draw blood on the scarred side and he just... makes this kinda pathetic whimper of a sound. You're so stupid you asshole he hates you so much )8]

[vigilantee]

[ crying well at least right now the feeling is mutual as Overseer coughs and groans, trying to lift his head and see just wtf Baron's doing SERIOUSLY MAN WHAT IS WITH YOU TODAY ]

[provocate]

[HE WAS IN ONE OF HIS UNSTABLE PERIODS AND THEN YOU SHOWED UP AND STIRRED EVERYTHING UP IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY. YOU DUMBASS]

[He will just hang out here on the floor and shiver, slowly wrapping his arms around himself and pressing his forehead into the ground. Whimpering again until he bites his lip, tries to distract himself with that instead]

[vigilantee]

B....B-Baron....? [ YEAH WHAT HE SAID YOUR NAME he's starting the whole pity thing again ]

[provocate]

What.

[Wheezes. No stop, calm down Baron calm the fuck down jesus christ]

Wh-what...?

[vigilantee]

What's...wrong with you?? [ oh god ow, maybe it was a bad idea to try and push himself up here he is definitely sore in all sorts of places on his back now so Overseer will just. roll onto his side. ]

[provocate]

[Opening his eye to stare blindly over at him for a second, before his eye rolls quite madly and he closes it again. S h a k i n g]

I can't s-see fuck you. [...WOW LOOK AT THIS SUDDEN TONE SHIFT ALL OVER EVERYTHING]

[vigilantee]

[ w-wow yeah Baron sounds absolutely nothing like himself?? AT ALL?? ]

It's only...t-temporary. Keep your eyes closed and it clears much faster. [ fuuuuuu why did he tell him that this is embarrassingly piteous ]

[provocate]

[Sobs yes now ask yourself why he's worried about continuing when his moirail is so short lived... Dude's a barely contained mess and has been for a millenia. Something's gotta give and all that]

[But yeah, thanks bro, he'll keep his eye shut now, wrapping his arms around himself a little tighter. Guh he wishes he had the Tameless here right now and not his stupid kismesis )8]

[Kismesis who's being rather randomly helpful...? But whatever that's not important, right???]

[vigilantee]

[ kismesprite shut up he doesn't know either, he's stuck between the two right now especially since Baron isn't being his usual coy self right now.

He's going to try the getting up thing again, as sore as he is, and stumble unsteadily to his feet. he needs to stop...taking hits like this sdkjfskdgs this is bad for his health ]

[provocate]

[Isn't gonna stop him! Though he does tense a little, for a second, as the Overseer stands, but his growl falls away into a low, unhappy wheeze a moment later]

[vigilantee]

[ o-ohhhh Baron ;; CAN YOU FEEL THE PITY RADIATING OFF HIM IN WAVES HERE. Because he's wobbling over to Baron and dropping to his knees at his side, huffing a bit ]

......

I hit both sides of your gills. You shouldn't try to move so much.

[provocate]

[Tenses again and... if anything just folds in a little tighter on himself. Trying to make himself as small as possible ); And uh... yeah he knows about the gills thing, why do you think he's hugging himself so tightly? Pain to distract himself from wanting to rip everyone in this building apart with his bare hands...]

[Makes another... one of those wheezing sounds, though if the Overseer's listening he was trying to turn it into a laugh lksjdflkj Hhhaaaa]

[vigilantee]

[ sdkjgsk shut up he's slow and awkward okay and god Baron stop trying to champ this it's not going to work. Overseer grimaces behind his mask and his shoulders slump a little. This is so awkward for hiiiiiiiiim ]

[provocate]

[.....OH YOU POOR THING HERE LET HIM JUST BRUSH AWAY HIS CRAZINESS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEEL AWKWARD!!!]

[Opens his eye to check on his vision and... okay yeah, that's definitely improved a little that's nice he will just keep doing what he's been doing then. At least the confirmation that he'll be able to see again soon calms him down some. Enough to bring the quaking down to just shivering. ARE YOU READY FOR THE SADDEST, QUIETEST BUT MOST SINCERE APOLOGY EVER? Cause here it is: ]

M'sorry...

[vigilantee]

[ SCREECH NO HE ISN'T, HE'S LOOKING AT BARON LIKE HE SUDDENLY GREW TWO HEADS ]

........I--what??

[provocate]

[lkajsdkflajsdlf tiny pathetic chuckle. He's not gonna say it again you dick!]

[vigilantee]

[ YEAH WELL HE STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HE HEARD IT OKAY. He's never heard anything but condescension hurrhurr from this doucher so let him stare a bit in disbelief before...putting his hand against Baron's forehead sdkjgsk YOU ILL BRO? ]

[provocate]

[...lakjsdflkj he probably feels kinda clammy??? Clammier then he normally does anyway whoops he's a fish but yeah. Depression and probably not eating or sleeping well and now he's all stressed out trying to contain this... horribleness. Staring blearily up at him now... Whatre u doin bro]

[vigilantee]
