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]

[LKJSDFLKJ YOU'RE THE FIRST AND ONLY BRO. Well no... he supposes those other orbs they cracked must've had wigglers of their own who were probably culled... but that's not really the point!]

That was the first time I was ever underground.

[vigilantee]

---??? But we are not to leave the Mother Grub under any circumstances. [ HOW DID YOU MEET THEM MAN ]

[provocate]

You think it's always been like that?

[Rules change bro, and it's taken the Condesce quite a long time to lose her mind and bring the world down to this minutely controlled dictatorship :|b]

[vigilantee]

...? I had assumed.... [ sob ;u; subjugated world views ]

[provocate]

Not surprising. Most do.

[There are very few trolls who've made it this long even when they have the lifespan for it and they're the only ones who might remember so... yep. Pauses a moment, thoughtful...]

You've always been rare, but I used to see your caste around occasionally. [...] I think I may have served with one my first tour...? [lksdf phrased as a question because his memory gets pretty bad that far back :X]

[vigilantee]

--You have fought for her Condescension? [ WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT ]

[provocate]

[...................lkasjdf slowly because he can't... actually believe you just asked that: ]

Yes... You think I've always been like this? [YOU'RE SO DUMB OVERSEER AHAHALSDFKJ]

[vigilantee]

[ JKSDFSDKFS HE CAN'T PICTURE YOU AS ANYTHING BUT AN ANARCHIST OKAY SHUT UP. brb while he STARES. Stares FOREVER. ]

[provocate]

[LKSJDFLKSDJF this is the most exasperated sigh in the world, and he stares back for a little bit before... elaborating ffff]

Military service has always been compulsory in my lifetime, dear. I have served the seawitch in every way a good citizen can. [And now he's trying to pull it all down!! It's not that big a deal gosh Overseer gosh]

[vigilantee]

But you.... [ ANARCHISTTTTTTTT ]

[provocate]

I got tired of it.

[.......WOW THAT 'IT' IS ACTUALLY A STAND-IN FOR A HELL OF A LOT OF THINGS WHOOPS]

[vigilantee]

[ LMFAO SERIOUSLY..... Overseer is baffled ]

....Oh...

[provocate]

[kjsdf yes he noticed. Raises his eyebrows, smirking faintly. Any other questions there bro?]

[vigilantee]

...... [ Crying give him a moment to disgest all of this ]

Why...did you come into the caverns? That day.

[provocate]

To do exactly what we did.

[AND HE IS quite matter-of-fact about that, not a hint of sympathy or apology for it. He is an anarchist and a creature of chaos, and there is very little more chaotic then fucking up their reproductive cycle at the Mother Grub level]

[vigilantee]

[ djfjdsk OH WELL YEAH THAT DOESN'T MAKE HIM FEEL BLACK FOR YOU AT ALL WOW ]

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

[provocate]

[Cackles lksdfjlkjsdf Don't flip black on him now bro, he's not ready yet )8 Not that he's gonna make it any easier with this: ]

It was for a good cause~

[vigilantee]

"A good cause." [ KJSDGSGDKS YEAH WOW NOPE CALIGINOUS... ]

[provocate]

[lskdjlkjsdf oblivious for the moment cries]

The seawitch has to be brought down somehow.

[vigilantee]

By going after the Mother grub?! How does that hurt her Imperial Condescension??? [ sdjkgsdk standing up...abruptly. HE IS VERY DUTY-ORIENTED )8 dem matriorbs were his responsibilityyy ]

[provocate]

[...oh. Gives him this long, curious look. They're probably very close to eye level like this and he's... hesitant for once );]

It hurts her system, dear. The one that keeps all you little jades where no one will ever see you. You'd have died in the dark if you hadn't run away. [lkjsdf look at all this pity here, please don't do this to him right now] Change is never easy. Things have to be broken before they can be fixed.

[vigilantee]

[ sdjkfsjkdgsjk no stop throwing pity at him HE WANTS TO HATE HATE HATE RIGHT NOW AUGH you ruined his liiiiiiiifeeeeeeeee the one time he got responsibilityyyyyyy.

Overseer glares at him, hands clenched at his sides. ]

[provocate]

[...actually kinda flinches. ljasdf he'd probably look like a kicked puppy if he weren't... him. But now he's waiting to see what he's gonna do, trying to figure out if he has the stability to flip black if that's where this is going]

[vigilantee]

[ skdjgs ): Overseer is so...mad rn, sob. Mad because he hates how Baron and Tameless came in and flipped his entire world upside-down and ruined everything, and how he's right because he would have never gone outside. Never seen a sunrise or seen the world or...anything. ]

Not everything needs to be broken first. [ he mutters this sourly, forcing himself not to try and sock Baron one ): ]

[provocate]

[So. Here's an interesting expression for you. This expression here says he has no fucking idea how to do it any other way, that he is too goddamn broken himself to fathom anything different. But! It is only on his face for a fraction of a moment before he's reaching up, trying to catch him round the back of his neck and pull him in for a kiss 8< He's bad at feelings Overseer can you tell yet]
