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]

You look AWFUl. [ which for him is as good as saying "shut up I want to make sure you don't die of withdrawal" ]

[provocate]

[LKSJDF RUDE!! Snerks]

Nice to know what you think, darling.

[vigilantee]

[ MAKES A FACE AT HIM. And goes to get him another glass of water =3= ]

[provocate]

[Aww sweetheart 8'> He's going to... take his shirt off while the Overseer's off doing that lajsdfljasdflkj AHAHA SKEEVY OLD MAN]

[...except no, he actually just wants to look at his gills... Check for... anything that looks permanent. But mostly it just looks like horrible bruises, except a couple of the slits on one side which are... bleeding very slightly... so that's cool... you dick]

[vigilantee]

[ sdgjks AHAHAAH YEAH THE FIRST THING HE THINKS IS SKEEVY OLD MAN YEP.....until he sees where Baron is looking and oh.

shit oops ]

[provocate]

[Just kinda... decides not to say anything, looking up and taking the glass from him without comment. He only drinks a little bit out of this one though before pouring some of the water into his cupped hand and pressing it to the back of his neck... then either side, wetting the gills on his throat and the one fin he's got left]

[Aaaaand then he'll finish what's left of the water, letting his gaze drift back up to the Overseer after that odd little ritual there]

[vigilantee]

.....Is it difficult not to be in the ocean?

[provocate]

It's usually fine now. The first few sweeps were a little uncomfortable. [Shrugs] Nostalgia has a nasty habit of striking at the worst times, though. [Eheh!]

[vigilantee]

...Would a shower help? [ JUST FOR YOU 8| Overseer not included ]

[provocate]

[Aww you dick but you would make it so much better 8'> But no okay, he's actually going to smile quite lskjdf hopefully???]

Probably.

[vigilantee]

Then I'll help you over there if you want. [ sjkgsk LOOKING AWAY WHILE HE SAYS THIS ]

[provocate]

[...lksdjf tsun. But yes, he will take you up on that, grabbing the arm of the couch to start to push himself to his feet, reaching out for him]

Don't want to join in?

[vigilantee]

[ sdjkgsjk Baron. Overseer moves to support him, POINTEDLY NOT LOOKING OVER /// ]

I'm fine.

[provocate]

[Has to pause a second just to breathe once he gets to his feet. BLUH! He needs to invest in some kind of gill protection or something jesus]

[But then yes, let's go over to the bathroom. Definitely... trying not to lean on him too much? He kinda can't help it in a couple places though. Cackling faintly]

Well you're welcome if you change your mind~

[vigilantee]

[ sdkjsdgk get out skeevy old man he knows you will just diddle him okay. He'll help Baron over and wait until he seems not so winded! ]

...Mmn.

[provocate]

[Only if you want him to bro okay okay he's redrom now he can be... less aggressive if he wants! Gosh 8<]

[Also waits until he's not so winded, but then grabs the frame of the door for support and slips inside. Leaning on the sink and... moving to kick the door closed? But first: ]

Will you still be here when I'm done? [........asked rather surprisingly carefully. Trying not to make what he wants obvious there and... probably failing a little lsdkjf]

[vigilantee]

[ sdkjgsdkgs D'AWWWWWWW BARONNNNNNNN. Overseer blinks, caught off-guard......but he'll look at the ground fast and hedge a nod ]

[provocate]

[...cool 8'> Then he will gently tsun and just... not respond except with a faint hum of acknowledgement, nudging the door shut a second later]

[SHOWER TIME YEEEEAAAH. Shower and feelings time tbh cause goddamn a lot has happened this evening @_@]

L A W L if cronies walked in

[vigilantee]

[ sdjkgsk yeah Overseer is just going to go...wash and clean up his hand. And the floor where he smeared his blood, oops. Best meido, right hurr. Only person OCD enough to clean a gross floor ]

...........................LKSJDFLKJSDF would they have seen the Overseer before?

[provocate]

[Eyyy the Baron sings in the shower LKJSDF And he's actually got a pretty awesome voice too 8'> Or at least he would if he didn't have to keep cutting himself off to choke on his gill pains fff At least it's quieter then it would be normally]

[But yes, so that's happening. It might even distracting enough to obscure the knock at the door?]

Sir.

LMFAO PROBABLY NEVER SDKLGSLD OVERSEER ALWAYS LEAVES/GETS LEFT BEHIND

[vigilantee]

[ --ofuck Overseer's head is snapping up at that and he's paling before looking around frantically for someplace to hide ]

LKJSDF WOULD HE HAVE BEATEN A FEW OF THEM UP OCCASIONALLY?

[provocate]

[LKSJDF good luck bro the place is pretty sparse! Table, couch, recuperacoon, and a little wall separating the kitchen from the rest of the room. That's about it!]

[So this guy isn't gonna wait very long before: ]

Sir, you told us to let you know if we heard anything from the Lady?

[...............yeah he's gonna jiggle the door handle and push it open like right after that. And uh... so this is one of his bigger guys, a dude the Baron's had with him for a couple sweeps now which is waaaaay longer then most of these people last. Guy's like... Equius-style enormous though and just as blueblooded, and he'll be poking his head inside rather warily...]

AHAHA PROBABLY TO GET TO BARON YES

[vigilantee]

[ JKSDFGSJKGS oh my gog HAHAA BUILT LIKE A FUCKING TANK GREAT. Overseer is like...halfway toward the window when that hulking thing bursts through and he STARES.

omfg baron YOUR HIRED HELP IS HORRIFYING BRB GOING FOR THE WINDOW ]

lkjsdflkaf okay okay

[provocate]

[WOW NO??? SURE IS GONNA SHOOT HIM IN THE LEG... WITH AN ARROW I GUESS SURE WHY NOT. Maybe he used to be an executioner... BUT WHATEVER YEAH. ARROW TO THE LEG]

[If that hits he'll be... calling down the hall for more people... And if it doesn't, he'll be chasing after him alskdfjljljdf yep]

[vigilantee]

[ LMFAO JEEGUS FUCK CAN HE EVER SEE BARON WITHOUT GETTING SHOT???? OR STABBED? OR JUST IMPALED BY STUFF IN GENERAL?? Overseer goes dooowwwnnnnn when that happens with a muffled yelp, WINCING HORRIBLY but still trying to push himself up he will limp to this fucking window if he has to ]
