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]

[ 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]

[ CHECKING YOU FOR WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS 8|

you fail his amateur drug test ]

[provocate]

[omg OVERSEER HE'S NOT HIGH. Squinting though]

What.

[vigilantee]

.... [ NOPE NOT SAYING ANYTHING ]

You should have something to drink.

[provocate]

[YOU'RE A DUMBASS AND HE HATES YOU. But at least he's sorta... slowly uncoiling... finally letting his gills go so his breathing probably sounds better now]

[Sorta... slowly points over at... the little apartment kitchen. Then you can go get that for him cause he's just gonna lay his head on the floor here and continue attempting to calm down]

[vigilantee]

[ he kind of figured that's how it would go TwT so he'll...be a bad kismesis here and do the pity-thing and go grab baron a glass of water. BUT NO PAIN KILLERS OR ANYTHING even if he has some on him he doesn't pity him that much 8| ]

...here.

[provocate]

[LJSDF RUDE but that's fine he doesn't have any anyway. Slowly... slowly unfolds, rolling over to sit up, though he keeps his knees pulled into his chest. Just gonna kinda... hold a hand out LKJSDF he refuses to blindly reach around until he finds you just give it to him would you]

[vigilantee]

[ sdkjgskg FINE BABY HERE. He'll even wait to make sure Baron's gto a good hold on it before he lets go 8|||| ]

[provocate]

[Gee thanks bro he really appreciates your cooperation. He will just take that and take a big ol' drink out of it. Draining it something like halfway before just... slumping forward. Propping his head on his knees. HE LOOKS COMPLETELY WIPED???]

[vigilantee]

[ HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S CRASHING IS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE, but Overseer says nothing and moves to hold the glass for him if he'll surrender it.

fuuuuuuuuu this would totally be the best time ever to take him in why does this always happen )8< WHY DID YOU HAVE TO APOLOGIZE ]

[provocate]

[HE'S NOT USING DRUGS. But yeah fine, he'll let him take it, knees sorta falling to the ground and he following after, laying across his feet and stretching his arms out in front of him. He feels like shit goodness gracious]

I don't suppose you. Drugged that water, did you. [Weird hitch in his breath aside lksdf he realizes it was sort of dumb to trust him not to do something like that when he's been so adamant about taking him in]

[vigilantee]

.......Isn't that something you worry about before you drink it? [ MUTTERED SO BAD ////// ]

[provocate]

[LKSJDFLKJSDF]

Got other things on my mind, dear. [And he's... trusting you... a lot... which is a surreal feeling whoops]

[vigilantee]

[ crying he's too honest HE KNOWS OKAY SHUT UP )'8 he is big on this "proper justice" thing and he really sucks...at subterfuge...

So he just huffs and looks to the side. ]

You should finish it. [ and considering his tone that's as good as saying "no it wasn't" ]
