[ hacker voice im in

vax is here. are they just piling into a bedroom. does it even matter where. he is Brooding TM in a corner, black raven wings at his back still melting and dripping off that viscous, oily looking black liquid.



it's fine ]

[ktiseos]

[it's gotta be either his and bubblegum's bedroom or the main area because he definitely needs to be on the bed or couch... it's fine, he got in a pod for a bit, he's not dying, but he absolutely still needed bandaging and has been fairly cautious in his movements.

whether it's the bed or couch, he's propped up there, just. glancing over to vax's brooding corner with a little concern.]

You cannot stay there all night.

[fretbro]

[bass is a little late - he almost doesn't make it, but he shuts the door behind him just as it locks.

a pause. and then he moves across the room, grabs a pillow, and just screams into it, as loudly as he possibly can.]

[daggering]

[ HELLO NO MORE ]

-- Bass?

[decisions]

[ percy is gonna to be... wherever whoever brought him back from medbay dropped him bc he has one leg, so on the couch or piled into emetgum's bedroom with his notebook and pencil, though it's just kind of loose in his hands. ]

He's right, you know.

[fretbro]

[he just

stays there for a second, and then:]

Sorry - sorry. I'm okay. [muffled into the pillow. his voice isn't all calm and flat anymore, at least.]

[daggering]

... no more heart attacks for one night, yeah?

[ worried...

he looks down at his phone, and it looks like he wants to say something, frowning even further, but does not. ]

[ktiseos]

Bass-!

[he says that a little loudly, which makes him cough, which makes him wheeze, wincing. fuck.]

...I am-- fine. Feeling better-?

[fretbro]

Sorry.

[maybe he will just stay here for a bit and hug this pillow. until emet says his name, anyway.]

[daggering]

[ i vote emetgum room

anyway no he's just here. melting. brooding. the oil drips a little down his cheeks from the feathers by his face. ]

... [ terrible. he doesn't say anything but there's probably a petulant "can too" in there somewhere. ]

[fretbro]

[he startles, and then zooms over to him.]

You're not fine! [he says, a little shrill. he's very clearly not all flat anymore, so that's... good?] Stop talking! Don't cough!

[ktiseos]

...Vax.

[a little quieter.

stop brooding over there alone you stupid melting bird.]

[ktiseos]

[he-- laughs, slightly, at that. which... yeah you guessed it. waving bass off, though-]

It is fine. I only need-- more time, later, to heal.

[too many people injured and only 2 pods,]

[decisions]

Brood somewhere more comfortable.

[ softly, like he's actually serious about it. which he is. ]

Go on... you're going to feel worse over there...

[decisions]

That about says it all doesn't it...

[fretbro]

You guys really - really need to ask for more pods.

[his voice breaks in the middle there, and he stubbornly brings up a hand to wipe his eyes.] Don't - don't hurt yourself more.

Fuck.

[he's having a time]

[fretbro]

[he drags in a shaky breath, and then lifts his head out of the pillow.]

Are you okay? You went through one too?

[decisions]

[ oh bass. he just gives a small nod. ] I'll heal. Just going to have to find a way to get around for a few days until I can get into the pods again.

[ percy????? ]

It was... certainly not what I was expecting.

[ktiseos]

...Bass. It will be all right.

[just offering out a hand once more, though the movement's still a bit stiff. come here.]

I have been more concerned over you.

[fretbro]

[he puts the pillow down, and comes to sit down next to him.]

You should try to get in there before a few days, dude. [he rubs at his face.] Do... uh, do you wanna talk about it?

[he's trying.]

[countermeasures]

[it is not fine.

jiuqing crosses over to vax's corner of brooding and reaches over to put a hand on one shoulder.]

Vax...

[countermeasures]

...

[honestly, that's relatable.

she puts a hand on bass's back, though.]

[fretbro]

[he hesitantly wanders over and just, like. curls up against emet and tries not to hurt him.]

I'm mad. [he says after a second, and for a moment his skin changes - a wave of marble down his arms.] I couldn't be freaked out.

[fretbro]

[his shoulders come down from around his ears, at least.]

... Hey. [muffles it into his pillow.] Sorry. I'll be quiet.

[daggering]

[ that's fine. his concern about bass is like blatantly obvious, but, emet sort of saves the day by calling for him, so. he hesitates as he's about to reach out, and then pulls his hand back. :c ]
