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]

[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 ]

[provocate]

[YOU STUPID DON'T MUFFLE YOUR YELPS HOW ELSE IS THE BARON GONNA KNOW TO COME OUT AND HELP YOU LAKSDJFLKAJSDF]

[But yeah no, this guy is gonna come after him and baseball swing his bow into his side. Probably... any other guy would be yelling at him to stay down or something, but this guy has lasted as long as he has because he gets the job done without fussing... whoops!!!]

[vigilantee]

[ IT'S HIS DEFAULT REACTION OKAY SHUT UP at leasy he can't muffle much when that catches him close enough to where Baron hulk smash'd him earlier so he's making a much more audible sound of pain here as he's knocked back sdgjksgs YES HELP PLEASE BARON YOUR BODYGUARD IS HURTING HIM ]

[provocate]

[Gonna grab him by the collar and lift him right up off the ground and uh... yes this smile here says 1) he's taking after his employer in the worst way and 2) he remembers you bro. He's honestly kinda amazed you're still alive since he knows you went up against the Baron all by yourself!]

Oh the boss is gonna have fun with you.

[...well at least the shower just shut off]

[vigilantee]

[ sdlkgsdjkgsjk SCREAMMMMM no please do not take after your employer he does not need a Baron-wannabe in his life he can barely handle one Baron as it is. OVERSEER GLARES AT MR. CRONY through squinted eyes and gritted teeth since everything...is hurt right now, no denying that nope ]

[provocate]

[Lifting him up even hiiiiigher, probably planning on throwing him back into the ground or something when... yayy the Baron clears his throat from the bathroom door]

[.......uh, yeah he came as soon as he heard the Overseer yelp that second time? So he's... stark naked and soaking wet, leaning against the door frame like he wants to be there rather then because standing is exhausting. So these two douchebags meet eyes, something very like a threat in the Baron's gaze, the blueblood's going immediately submissive in response]

[There you go Overseer, he will just put you back on the ground there lakjsdkfjasd though he keeps his huge arm nearby to offer support if you want it. Sorry he shot your leg bro )8]

[Baron to the Overseer, idly: ]

You can hit him if you like, dear.

[vigilantee]

[ sdjkfsk HE HAS ONE LEGS SHOT THROUGH AND HE CAN BARELY BREATHE WITHOUT HURT. Overseer pushes the hand away from him so instead of doing any hitting he can do the bad ass thing he learned to do and break off the end of the arrow so he can yank it out instead, glaring to the side fuckkkkkk that hurts.

He's gonna throw the pieces at bodyguard's feet though, seething jade eyes leering at him. this is platonic hate asshole don't read into it ]

[provocate]

[Nnnnnnn maybe he starts to read into it but then he glances at the Baron who's still giving him the most subtly terrifying of death glares and... gets it. Whoops he's a little slow. Hesitantly opening his mouth to say... something--]

[But yeah no the Baron's just gonna hush him and tell him to collect his arrow and go get some bandages for them and then leave them alone. And this is probably something the Overseer's never heard before, this sickly sweet knife blade of a tone, all over-saturated with dears and darlings and sweethearts]

[Aaaand then a bunch of alarms and commotion start up outside as word finally gets around, and the Baron's sigh is very nearly a snarl. Blueblood gets to deal with telling everyone to stand down now too. So with his orders now, off he goes, head and shoulders bowed as he ducks out the door]

[He'll be back with the bandages, but until then the Baron just kinda... sighs raggedly, slumping against the door frame. THAT WAS NOT SOMETHING HE NEEDED WOW]

Are you alright?

[vigilantee]

[ sdkjgjsk wow more awkward thing that's ever happened hands-down Overseer doesn't even remember he's technically part of it all--too busy watching--until Baron turns on him again and the world fits back into place. His leg hurts. ]

...I'm fine. [ He's just going. to deal with that right now excuse him as he takes those bandages and hobbles toward the bathroom; needs water to clean this ]

[provocate]

[Gets out of his way, setting a hand against his back for a very brief moment as he passes through the door. Uh... yes be careful, he's dripped water all over the floor lsdjf]

[He will just stay here, leaning against the door frame, going sorta limp now that he doesn't have to pretend he's perfectly okay for one of his cronies. Watching the Overseer sorta quietly...]

[vigilantee]

[ A-awwww well the first thing he's doing it pulling off his boots and...pants....deliberately not looking at Baron for this because he needs to deal with this hole in his leg first. there is jade all over his leg :c but he'll quickly work on wiping that all off with...idk a cloth or something, and luckily he'd got plenty of...supplies in this coat of his, seriously.

A small tube of salve is eased onto the bandages before he starts trying them tight, biting back a wince :c babbu doesn't once make a sound here ]

[provocate]

[...also doesn't make a sound, at least he sees him biting on that wince there. Then he makes this... thoroughly worried sound somewhere in his chest. The kind of sound a lusus makes for its injured wiggler. Poor boy oh dear... )8]

[Waits until he's done before reaching over and lightly touching his shoulder]

Sorry. [.........TWICE IN ONE NIGHT??? JESUS BRO YOU'VE GOT HIM WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER WHAT IS THIS]

[vigilantee]

[ sdjkgsjk nooo don't make that noise that's uguu ;;;; the touch makes him jump a bit once he's got his leg wrapped but he looks up, blinking his eyes slowly once. Overseer miiiight be staring at baron like his brain is seriously damaged or something, but he turns back to look at the floor and nods, subtly flustered ]

It'll heal.

[provocate]

[Lets him have his space again, sitting on the sink counter and sighing faintly]

It shouldn't have happened. [Man what is he gonna do with that guy. He likes that guy, he's super useful, but it's not like he can let him live after this... Ugh]

[vigilantee]

If you hadn't cracked my ribs I could have hidden. [ that was just a liiiiittle bit bitter. But more at himself?? Since he's been working so hard this last sweep and he's still so far from beating him )8

also yeah he's been doing all this with a cracked rib or two oops ]

[provocate]

[................ )<]

If you hadn't-- [NNNNOPE. That's petty and dumb, he's not gonna get into that argument when he's damn near dripping with pity at the moment. He really doesn't need to get all tense and unhappy after all of this]

I think it's your turn to lie down, my dear.
