  1. -*- abstersiveTournure He had always hated crying -- hated the feeling of thick emotion and saliva in his throat and hot tears and the raw, humiliating discomfort -- there was no comfortable way to cry, except in a vague memory of being held and soothed by a feminine voice -- and that was long gone.
  2. -*- abstersiveTournure But in moments like this, that memory didn't feel so distant. Gentle, familiar reassurance, an arm around him, always there when he needed it.
  3. -*- abstersiveTournure The words were light and encouraging just like their mother but so painfully, obtrusively Dante. He didn't respond, far too busy hiccuping and trying to catch his breath and trying to stop crying -- he did more than enough of this when --
  4. -*- abstersiveTournure He'd spent days alternating between raging at the nearest living thing and sobbing into the very same, often jumping between those two things by the heartbeat. And then he'd gotten back, alone, and he just wanted to --
  5. -*- abstersiveTournure He didn't want to think about it anymore. It was over, and he was still guilty of it all but it was past, and justice didn't seem so appealing when it meant facing everything he was responsible for alongside this ache. It was over and Dante was okay, this time.
  6. -*- abstersiveTournure He held his breath, swallowed, breathed through his nose, and then couldn't do much more than shake like a wet stray in a hard frost. He wanted to get up and move on.
  7. -*- abstersiveTournure One step at a time.
  8. -*- chthonianGunslinger Well, he wasn't crying anymore. Not overtly, at least; those only so much you could do to hide those pesky, silent tears. But he wasn't sobbing like a fire hydrant on the fritz, and that...
  9. -*- chthonianGunslinger That was better. Not good, but better. The guilt still weighed heavily in his heart, but at least it wasn't threatening to explode on him anymore. Dante could deal with that. Maybe.
  10. -*- chthonianGunslinger He didn't even know what he did wrong, but it must've been bad. Real bad. Super bad. And with all this blood everywhere...
  11. -*- chthonianGunslinger ...Oh.
  12. -*- chthonianGunslinger Oh shit. Most of it was probably his, considering how he felt like he'd just been steamrolled, but--
  13. -*- non The moment you realize a mildly interested face blinking down at you from the tree is up to y'all. Till then he'll just sorta chill out and pick his nose a little bit.
  14. -*- chthonianGunslinger "hey, listen...you're okay, right?" He asked, trying and failing to hide the concern in his voice. "not bruisin' too bad, i hope."
  15. -*- The_Andyman Around when Dave wandered off some place or another, the St. John brother decided to take things into his own hands-- besides! It ain't like he's coming in completely unannounced. And it'd be a /real/ shame if it were a dinner for just one. ... Though, it wasn't that long into his search that his attention was brought to the robot flying thROUGH THE SKY--
  16. -*- chthonianGunslinger And there goes the nervous laughter. Not at all convincing, no, but he had to do something to hide the fact that he was already searching for any bloodied wounds. He didn't need to worry his brother any more than he already had. Just...had to keep it cool. Somehow.
  17. -*- The_Andyman ... And smack dab into the middle of the dairy farm. Got /dangit/, looks like the neighbors ended up comin' down by themselves. Shit, Mama ain't gonna be too happy with some unidentified flyin' piece of scrap crashin' in the front yard. Sure, it wouldn't be too much of a problem now that they've kicked it, but... still. He quickly made his way back to the
  18. <The_Andyman> farm in question, readying himself to be the welcoming host to some folk that are probably suffering from a mild concussion.
  19. -*- chthonianGunslinger Were he not so embroiled in comforting his brother, he might've felt the eyes. Might've felt a presence of some sort, watching.

  21. <-- non (Mibbit@pool2-79.teleclipse.net) has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  22. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman ... With a frisky feline fellow in the fanciest of formals following to the farm! Dinner sounded nice. Real nice! And it was a /dairy/ /farm/-- a farm with more milk than Jaspers could ever imagine! And-- and they've got a /cow/! He's never seen a cow before, not ever.
  23. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman Today's going to be an excellent day! <:3
  24. <-> chthonianGunslinger is now known as cocksureGuttersnipe
  25. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe But even if he did, he'd push it away. Cast it aside as just another quirky side effect of his ever present paranoia. It wasn't important. Nothing was importnat. Only this.

  37. <Jaspers|The_Andyman> [[Incredibly r00d]]
  38. <-> non is now known as transientChasm
  39. -*- abstersiveTournure "I'm fine." He tried to say it firmly, almost harsh in his desperation to sound okay, but it came out as a shuddering kind of groan on the cusp of a sob. He just wanted to scrub away these tears and get it together and get up and not talk about this, stop being such a damn good brother.
  40. -*- transientChasm Well, looks like they're gonna live. Might as well help them.
  41. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman The trip wasn't especially long, as to be expected-- and just as expectedly, the scene wasn't especially pretty. Aw, shit. Right under the tree! They /just/ got that swing fixed and everything. And now it's got blood /all/ /over/ /it/. ... Brings back some memories, actually! He holds back a wistful sigh. "What th'/fuck/'s goin'--"
  42. <Jaspers|The_Andyman> "I--"
  43. <Jaspers|The_Andyman> "/Shit/, what *haPPENED*--"
  44. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman These are the first things that he asks. Hospitable.
  45. -*- abstersiveTournure Simultaneously, he didn't want to get up -- but he heard something, footsteps, very nearby --
  46. <transientChasm> "Looks like some demons done crashed into your tree, motherfucker."
  47. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe "hey, c'mon, you don't gotta be brave fer-"
  48. -*- transientChasm Says the lad currently skinning his way down said tree's trunk. You get a great view of his buttcrack as his ill-fitting pants hitch down before he drops heavily to the ground.
  49. <transientChasm> "Yo," he says to his fellow preteens. "Fancy seein' y'all again."
  50. -*- abstersiveTournure He reeled upright, buried his eyes in the crook of his own elbow as though it would hide anything, and bared his teeth to draw seething, unsteady breaths. As though withdrawing automatically at the approach of strangers, his tears and emotions were forced halfway back into the gutter of his mind.
  51. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman A hand is brought to Andy's head as the damage is briefly assessed-- not that it'd matter, too much. It could all be washed right away with a thought-- a clean slate, brand new, save for the afformentioned duo of demons in the picture. "Y'don't say."
  52. <transientChasm> "Got some nice wings this time. I can see the bones in that one of 'em. That's cool as fuck."
  53. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe And then, suddenly, there was a hillbilly and some kid hiding up in the tree and someone, somewhere, had thrown the word demon around. Not in reverent nor timid whispers, either-- it was said casually, almost carelessly, like it was some word that could just be thrown around.
  54. <Jaspers|The_Andyman> "... You look a little hurt dante are you ok--"
  55. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman dO THEY HAVE A SWING--
  56. <transientChasm> "Yeah, so like. You gonna try to shoot 'em, or help 'em? 'Cause like, they fell out the /sky/, and I'm not sure if the gun would work or just make them more mad."
  57. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe The word shocks him so badly that he hardly notices that it's the same kid from before. The clown kid who had thrown them under a rollercoaster and hardly batted an eye at it. No, no, that didn't matter at all.
  58. <transientChasm> "I don't really give a fuck about helpin' 'em because for real, Jesus probably already hates my ass."
  59. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe He wanted to grill that kid down to the barest bones, as if that would somehow invalidate that word and make it all okay, but--
  60. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe But now they were talking about them like they were just objects sitting there and his head fucking hurt like a jackhammer and--
  61. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe And--
  62. -*- transientChasm Said ass is currently being casually brushed off with one of the kid's pudgy hands before he offers both hands to the brothers rolling around in the dust. "Yo. Y'all kinda got an adrenaline seeking problem, not gonna lie. Think you can stand?"
  63. -*- abstersiveTournure Bleary-eyed, red-cheeked, and still very close to crying again, Vergil slowly removed his arm and beheld the accosters -- some guy who reeked of drugs like the neighbor some days in one of the Colorado houses, the new guy they'd seen earlier, and one pink-furred feline, and Dante looked wholly ready to tear into them.
  64. -*- abstersiveTournure pUNCH
  65. <Jaspers|The_Andyman> "Don't see no reason t'be shootin' 'em-- looks like they've already took one hell've a whoopin' themselves." God, he just.
  66. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman He wanted to have a nice even--
  67. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe "'ey, i'm standin' right here! standin' n' /bleedin/' might i add. but no, please, don't let me stop ya. keep on talkin' like it's another day in the office. i'll be just fine."
  68. -*- abstersiveTournure It was literally all he could do, throat too clogged to speak without crying -- so he just socked his brother in the arm, not giving it too much thought. (He'd feel bad in a minute when it occurred to him that he just punched a probably concussed and otherwise injured person.)
  69. <transientChasm> "Haha, for real. Last time I saw these dudes, they were on the track of a running rollercoaster. Wild as hell."
  70. <abstersiveTournure> [also he punched Dante just to make that clear?]
  71. <abstersiveTournure> ['cause]
  72. <abstersiveTournure> [Dante pls settle down, ur brother is sTRESS]
  73. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Did he have to snap so sharply at them? Maybe, maybe not. But if he didn't say something, he was gonna--
  74. <Jaspers|The_Andyman> [[Fffffff]]
  75. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe OW.
  76. -*- abstersiveTournure Glare.
  77. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe His arm--
  78. -*- transientChasm The boy waves his already-extended hands at Dante. "I am /trying/ to help your ass up, bro."
  79. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Agh, god, that fucking hurt.
  80. <transientChasm> "Think you can walk?"
  81. <cocksureGuttersnipe> (guys pls)
  82. <cocksureGuttersnipe> (i can't)
  83. <cocksureGuttersnipe> (do everything at once)
  84. <abstersiveTournure> [unu]
  85. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman knows, is]]
  86. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman v sorry umu]]
  87. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Why'd you have to go and do that, Vergil? Now he feels like just tearing the thing off so it wouldn't be screaming in agony anymore. Yeah, thanks a lot.
  88. <transientChasm> "I'm pretty sure this dude is the motherfucker that lives in that farmhouse and he /doesn't/ wanna call a preacher on your wing-havin' asses."
  89. <transientChasm> "I'm as surprised as you are."
  90. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Now he has to deal with all this while he felt like a real life burning man.
  91. <transientChasm> "I'd call it a miracle just for the irony, if that shit weren't fake as hell and also not funny."
  92. <Jaspers|The_Andyman> "Don't need no lip, son-- 'specially when y'just crashed into /my/ family's farm." Ugh, reminded Andy of when /he/ was a kid. It also reminded him of how much of a pain in the ass he was when he was a kid. "Take it y'all're from that big ol' house down th'road?" Negating the fact that there's. Not really any road to begin with. Or that Dante's in /agony/.
  93. -*- Jaspers|The_Andyman Looked like just a scratch t'him.
  94. -*- abstersiveTournure ...yeah, he felt really bad about that punch, in hindsight. But he was scared and hurting and desperate not to be eaten alive by guilt, even if he knew he deserved it (and avoiding what he deserved made him feel all the worse) -- but he couldn't handle it. He looked away from Dante and focused on the strangers instead.
  95. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Already plenty irritated by the name calling, the ignoring, and now the burning, it wasn't much of a surprise that he snapped again. Clutching his injured arm with his slightly less injured arm, he twisted his head to glare at the kid's offered hand. "do you ever shut yer trap? i'm surprised yer mouth just doesn't fall off with all that ramblin' of yers."
  96. --> Jaspers (Mibbit@24-148-127-150.ip.mhcable.com) has joined #bromegle
  97. <-> Jaspers|The_Andyman is now known as The_Andyman
  98. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "n' i can get up just fine on my own, thanks. don't need some seein' eye clown helpin' me up."
  99. -*- abstersiveTournure ...the. Very odd strangers. He coughed to clear his throat and started quietly, hoarsely, "I --" and there went Dante again, sounding almost bitter, and definitely unhappy.
  100. -*- Jaspers It looked just /terrible/ to Jaspers, though! Honestly, if it weren't for the excitement of a /swing/-- the cherry on top of the sundae-- he'd be breaking down in tears at just the sight! His usually happy, excited grin that shined on everything around him was contorted to a very, very concerned frown.
  101. -*- Jaspers (Mainly because they're blocking the swing--)
  102. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Of course, it wouldn't be enough to just say it. He had to prove it, too. Anything to prove that he was doing just fine and they could all mosey on out now. He clutched his brother tightly, leaving his arm-- his definitely, absolutely broken arm-- free to throb and pulse with pain. Okay, bro, time to get up now. Just gotta bend his knees a bit and--
  103. <transientChasm> Shrug. "Aight."
  104. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Ah, fUCK--
  105. -*- abstersiveTournure Ahem. Let's try that again. "We are fr-om the Manor, y-yes," he rasped out, clearing his throat again at the end. "I apologize for ending up o-on your family's farm." Not that it could be helped, really.
  106. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe NORTH STARS OVER A FUCKIN' MANGER, OW--
  107. -*- abstersiveTournure And he'll just. Gently. Reach out to help his brother. It was painful to watch, why wouldn't he just sit still --
  108. <Jaspers> "Are you both gonna be okay? You look really really hurt! Did you get into an accident on the swing? I--" He idly pondered on what could really be done, but. He was just a cat! Maybe he could just. Offer hugs and kisses and pettings? That usually made /him/ feel better, anyway.
  109. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Whump. With a low hiss that only hinted at the agony he was in, he landed rather ungracefully back down onto the tree.
  110. -*- Jaspers It's like a universal cure for everything.
  111. <abstersiveTournure> [Jaspersprite you cute]
  112. -*- transientChasm He can't hide a smile as Dante hurts himself again. Now who's the seeing eye clown, biiiitch?
  113. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Oh, shut up. He was gonna wipe that shit-eating grin off your face the moment he got up from this fucking tree--
  114. -*- abstersiveTournure "(Sit still,)" he hissed, gently shuffling to sit beside the agonized form. "(You're not in any shape to move.)"
  115. <The_Andyman> "/Well/ now! Looks like we're gonna be knockin' two birds down with one stone." Couldn't help but feel a bit happy with this turn of events. Wow, Dante, a lot of people sure are smiling while you're suffering legitimate undeniable pain. "I was just plannin' on lookin' fer some folks back down there t'invite fer supper. What're new neighbors t'do, right?"
  116. -*- transientChasm The smile remains as he looks up, eyebrows raising. Food? "That invitation extended to everybody?"
  117. -*- abstersiveTournure Oh -- Jaspersprite. The feline princess sprite was present, looking terribly worried and uncertain as to what to do. And they're being invited to supper with his brother in this condition.
  118. <The_Andyman> "Don't you worry 'bout droppin' by, it ain't nothin' some elbow grease can't fix. What y'/should/ be worryin' 'bout yerselves!"
  119. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Corpus christi on a cross, what was wrong with these people?
  120. -*- abstersiveTournure "What in God's great black hell are you on."
  121. <The_Andyman> "Just lookit ya, yer worse than a-- oh! Don't see why not. Th'more th'merrier! And I'm sure we can up'nd fit another guest're two in."
  122. -*- The_Andyman Food and swings =/= Dante
  123. -*- abstersiveTournure The words were still hoarse but steady, almost angry, because in the past twenty minutes he'd been through immense emotional turmoil twice over and they were discussing dinner plans.
  124. -*- abstersiveTournure Better be the God damned last supper.
  125. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Okay. Okay. He had to handle this. Somehow, he had to take care of this. He didn't want to, but someone had to. He pressed a hand into his eye-- the broken arm had reflexively twitched in the movement, but had only served to bring more fucking pain-- as he tried to get his bearings straight. Easier said than done. So easier said than done.
  126. <The_Andyman> "Would y'all just relax fer a got dang second? Don't look like nothing t'me. Hell, all y'need is some food in ya and some good ol' tlc, and y'all gonna be back on yer feet before y'know it. Hey, Mama!" The house is called to idly-- almost obnoxiously loudly, given how two brothers are getting over recent grieving wounds. "Y'mind comin' out here fer a second?"
  127. <The_Andyman> "We got us some visitors!"
  128. <transientChasm> "Not a damn thing, personally. But I kinda figured you fellas would be averse to goin' to a hospital."
  129. <transientChasm> "What with your condition, and all. You feel me?"
  130. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe "listen billy bob, as much as i'd love to take yer offer n' all i--"
  131. -*- abstersiveTournure ...squint.
  132. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe "...hey--!"
  133. <transientChasm> "And it seems like this motherfucker intends to set your arm and all that too, in addition to feedin' you."
  134. <Jaspers> "What condition? Are you sick dante? 3:"
  135. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Ugh, what was he even doing? Whatever it was, it was making his ears ring. Stupid hillbilly ghost.
  136. <transientChasm> "So I don't really see what the hell y'all's problem is, for real."
  137. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "are you even listenin'? i said i'm fine. for christ's sakes, s'not like i'm gonna die or anythin'!"
  138. <-> The_Andyman is now known as Brenda|AndyStJohn
  139. <transientChasm> "I was /talkin/ to blue guy. He seems more worried 'bout your arm than you are, dogg."
  140. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Oh man, Jaspers was here too. How did Jaspers get here? How did any of these people get here?
  141. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [haha yeah uh]
  142. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [dante was talking to andy]
  143. <Jaspers> [[Fff]]
  144. <transientChasm> eh, maybe gamzee thought he was talkin to him)
  145. <transientChasm> he been called billy bob before)
  146. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe ...Agh, there was no time to think about that. Made his head swim too fast. There'd be time to think about all that later. Right now, he needed to...do something.
  147. <Brenda|AndyStJohn> " 'Course y'won't-- but y'don't sit down fer somethin' t'eat lookin' a mess like you do." Kids. Always gotta be so... /difficult/. It's why he was never planning on having any of his own, really. Would be too much trouble, for him. That and... well. Apocalypse. That puts a damper on things. "C'mon, th'least y'all can do fer crashin' in our front lawn is let u
  148. <Brenda|AndyStJohn> s help y'all out."
  149. -*- transientChasm Gamzee then rises from his crouch and turns around to see who else is coming. He looks vaguely concerned, as he doesn't really have a great history with people called 'ma'. Or with anyone emerging from a farmhouse at all, to be honest.
  150. <abstersiveTournure> [stabs computer multiple times in the face]
  151. <Brenda|AndyStJohn> "What's all this racket goin' on out her-- oh my stars!" Cue the somewhat overset woman making her way through the farm house's door and down the steps. "What happened? Did y'all run into a lil' trouble on yer way here?" A hand was brought to her mouth in concern. Aw, shoot-- and here she was, thinking things would be a whole lot safer now that they finally d
  152. <Brenda|AndyStJohn> ropped.
  153. -*- Brenda|AndyStJohn Ah, well.
  154. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe God, how he wished he could imagine the pain away, but just the very thought of doing that made his head throb and whine in discontent. Now wasn't the time to be thinking hard about much of anything, let alone his imagination.
  155. -*- Brenda|AndyStJohn At least they didn't crash into the /fence/-- they'd be fried like goose! And... that'd just kind of ruin the whole dinner.
  156. -*- Brenda|AndyStJohn Wouldn't /that/ be a shame.
  157. -*- Brenda|AndyStJohn also touches Nitro's face omo]]
  158. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe And these people did want to help, even if they seemed more concerned with dinner than anything else.
  159. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe And you know what? He was getting kind of sick of dinner.
  160. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [k]
  161. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [tiem 2 puase]
  162. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [4 neetro]
  163. <Brenda|AndyStJohn> [[Fff]]
  164. -*- abstersiveTournure e[yes pls]
  165. <abstersiveTournure> [compooper is freezing horribly]
  166. <abstersiveTournure> [though it's cooperating a tiny bit now]
  167. <abstersiveTournure> [wh a t the heck are you doing compooper]
  168. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [ go go go nitro]
  169. -*- abstersiveTournure His head hurt, and Dante was hurting, and Jaspers was worrying, and these two random strangers were kind of being impossible, and everything was moving too damn quickly. And he didn't want to try and struggle and fail to keep up and force some actual help out of these two and make Dante cooperate and.
  170. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [i have]
  171. <cocksureGuttersnipe> [all the faith in u]
  172. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil very quietly pulled his knees up and curled forward and ignored them. He knew he'd have to deal with them, but...maybe after they shut up and aren't being entirely insufferable.
  173. -*- abstersiveTournure Mumble mumble mutter.
  174. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Well, whatever, this lady wasn't completely obnoxious yet. Maybe he could reason with her? Hell, it was better than all of his other choices-- save for comforting Jaspers, which seemed too monumental of a task at the moment-- and he sure as hell didn't want to spend the rest of his days bleeding out here. "listen lady, this ain't anything ya gotta worry yer pretty lil' head 'bout. just got into a lil' bit of
  175. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "i mean, i 'ppreciate yer concern n' all but--"
  176. <abstersiveTournure> [got into a lil' bit of]
  177. <cocksureGuttersnipe> ["listen lady, this ain't anything ya gotta worry yer pretty lil' head 'bout. just got into a lil' bit of a scuffle out here, that's all."]
  178. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "seriously, it ain't no big deal. this'll all heal in no time, i swear."
  179. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe There. Convincing enough? Hell, he hoped so. He didn't want all his pained grinning to go to waste, now did he?
  180. -*- abstersiveTournure No, that wasn't really convincing at all.
  181. -*- abstersiveTournure But maybe Vergil just knew better.
  182. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe But then he glanced at his brother, just to keep tabs, and it was hard not to notice how pathetically helpless he looked right now. That definitely put a damper on his facade, drooping his grin into a rather unsporting frown.
  183. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "(...hey, you okay?)"
  184. <Brenda|AndyStJohn> "Oh, hush-- no need t'go lyin' through yer teeth. It don't look like nothin'! And it'd be awfully rude' not t'do anythin' 'bout it. It could get up'nd infected if y'leave it be." The woman gives the wound a concerned look, biting the inside of her cheek. "Must've been some scuffle. Ah haven't seen anybody wind up this bad since Danny got in that accident with
  185. <Brenda|AndyStJohn> th'tractor! Y'all sure?"
  186. -*- abstersiveTournure "(...Mh.)"
  187. -*- abstersiveTournure There's that infamous long-winded eloquence, striking again.
  188. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Astounding.
  189. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "(...oh, c'mon, y'know y'can do better than that.)"
  190. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "(yer not even gonna try t'throw a numbnuts or two in there? oh, verge, i thought i knew ya better than that.)"
  191. -*- Brenda|AndyStJohn 'Mh numbnuts'
  192. -*- Brenda|AndyStJohn Dialogue by Vergil Redgrave
  193. -*- transientChasm Gamzee chuckles to himself as he imagines what the incident with the tractor could have been.
  194. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe As it turned out, humor was excruciatingly hard to pull off when your entire body was lit up like a wire...but it was the least he could do for his brother. Someone had to be the support around here and it sure as hell wasn't gonna be anyone else.
  195. -*- abstersiveTournure He could've done a lot of things better than he did, his word choice not the least of them. He should've made so many decisions better. Maybe it would've fixed something, anything.
  196. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Mama, however, he thought he could deal with. At least she wasn't completely dense like some other people he might know. "...infected?"
  197. -*- Jaspers thinks these people talk real silly, if you ask him. Extra nice! But they just. Talk silly. It almost makes him laugh! But he did his best not to-- laughing at people for how they talked would be downright mean, and that would make him a bully! Especially when they were so kind as to offer his friends help. And dinner. And they have a cow! He'll have to a

  207. -*- abstersiveTournure But everything he touched, everything that had ever touched him, fell apart. He knew he was responsible for most of them. The game. Dante's mental health. Dante's emotional and physical health. He should've been a better brother. Maybe -- maybe things would've been different. They wouldn't have played the game, could've just died with the rest of the world, been at peace, and he wouldn't feel so guilty.
  208. -*- abstersiveTournure He could not express it, though. Dante was damaged enough without him making matters worse than he already had.
  209. -*- abstersiveTournure So he listened and hoped Dante would just...forget he was there, focus on the woman and on Jaspers and on the hillbilly boy and clown instead. They could probably do more for him than Vergil.

  329. -*- Rabbit is partially on his front, goggles having fallen off at some point and off to the side. Along with his jaw, which was slightly bent and detached a few inches away. The familiar blue and green glow from his eyes were absent, his systems having shut down before his crash.

  336. -*- abstersiveTournure He looked back, first, for a brief moment -- "Don't be a wibbler," was all he came up with, some old joke or taunt Dante used to be so fond of. "I'm not going anywhere." And he didn't dwell on it because it hurt, kneeling instead to tend to the battered old automaton.

  363. <Rabbit> And yet, it seems that the grip has an effect. It's minor, really; a slight twitch sent through wires, the arm jerking like it did on the occasion when the automaton was fine and dandy. His head twitched slightly to the side at the same time.

  448. <cocksureGuttersnipe> (somebody shuffle that ruffian in already before he does even /more/ damage)
  449. <cocksureGuttersnipe> (and also so we can get the plot going maybe)
  450. <transientChasm> "Maybe it waqs a different robot."
  451. <transientChasm> *was)
  452. -*- Rabbit Vergil would definitely notice varying degrees of stiffness and looseness in places affected by the missing cogs and springs. More noteably though, was that his left arm was jammed right into the socket and difficult to move. Be careful, it could outright fall off thanks to the damage from landing on it.
  453. <Brenda|crimsonChitlin> "Well, listen-- I ain't no technician or nothin', but I'm sure Danny here can fix yer pal there up right as rain! He works with th'generator all th'time." Generators, /robots/... what's the difference really? Brenda certainly doesn't know. "An' I'm sure it can up'nd wait 'til after we get that arm sorted out."
  454. -*- transientChasm He busies himself with trying to remove the robot's shoe.
  455. -*- Brenda|crimsonChitlin I'll get th'glue an' tape
  456. -*- Rabbit what why
  457. -*- Rabbit what no
  458. -*- transientChasm is it attached to his foot
  459. -*- Rabbit twitches a little more, as well as starting to tick slowly as cogs started turning slowly.
  460. -*- Rabbit no but my foot might come off with it
  461. -*- Rabbit plus I found those rocket boots fair and square
  462. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil reached out and smacked the clown's hand almost automatically. Then, after carefully feeling the left arm for a moment, he stuttered out, "J-Jaspers. Would you please ask th-the fellow in the blue shirt to very carefully take Dante inside?"
  463. -*- transientChasm The shoe them backfires in his face and he is knocked backwards.
  464. <transientChasm> *then, goddamn)
  465. -*- Rabbit fffff
  466. <abstersiveTournure> [pfff]
  467. <abstersiveTournure> [Gamzee you're so graceful[
  468. -*- Rabbit nice going, kid
  469. <transientChasm> he has been this way since birth)
  470. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe ...Oh, fuck. What did he say now? What did he do? What did he do? All he said was that he never saw the robot before. What was so wrong about that? He was trying to rescue his brother, right? There was nothing rwong with that, right?
  471. <transientChasm> maybe he's born with it)
  472. <Rabbit> (Gamz is a magestic creature)
  473. <transientChasm> maybe it's maybelline)
  474. -*- Rabbit the boots are either damaged or out of power, since they only move the automaton a few inches before going out
  475. -*- Rabbit wait
  476. -*- Rabbit I thought it activated it's occured to me that
  477. -*- Rabbit he just sucks at pulling shoes off
  478. <Jaspers> "Oh. Okay i can do that! Purr purr." ... His head leans to the side, expressing his moderate concern for the blade-weilding brother. "Are you gonna be alright vergil? You look worried. 3:" It was always so, so awful when his friends were upset like this. It was even /worse/ when he didn't know he could do anything about it, either. 3:
  479. -*- Rabbit nvm me
  480. <cocksureGuttersnipe> "i--"
  481. <transientChasm> naw i was under the impression that it activated)
  482. <Rabbit> (oh okay then so was I)
  483. -*- abstersiveTournure Wh-- oh.
  484. -*- cocksureGuttersnipe Shit, what could he say? He didn't even know what he did wrong! Did he apologize? Did he explain himself? What the hell was he supposed to do?
  485. -*- abstersiveTournure He wasn't really...used to being asked that question?
  486. -*- transientChasm He is now lying on the ground, hair bride of frankenstein'd straight back from his face.
