I am at the crystalline apartment I will let you in when you arrive simply knock
[and as promised, he will! he assumes vax has seen it since percy lives here, so he more or less just lets him in and restrains himself from taking vax's arm as he heads back to the couch to take a seat.]
I am inclined to think Clarte was correct in saying it had to do with color-- but mayhap not our own. I received a message of sorts in the dream, I think, but on the whole it felt...
[...he exhales, slow.]
You know I am not one quickly moved to such emotions, but it was so melancholy at times I thought I may be brought to tears. I was, a bit, upon waking.
[he lets his arm stay there, it's fine. vax is allowed to remain close.]
But if that were the case, surely Percy or Garou would have shown more signs of it... I suppose Garou mentioning it felt like naught was of any import may line up, but Percy's did not.
That is more aligned with heliotrope, from my understanding; it is associated with creativity, and also with lies, at least from one of the residents' best guesses. So at the least... it is not our own color, not always.
[he huffs out a little sound at the mention of the muscle butterflies, though, god. he hates that.]
The dream was... I recall there being a dying potted plant, and a multicolored bird singing to it, though I cannot recall the tune now, save for how melancholy it was.
When it was not singing, the bird told me something about- the third being an outlier. I've spoken of this with others, and it seems likely it referred to Kashuu's dream, which did not match with the other two.
[ this is one of those times when vax wishes that keyleth was here. he would not wish this weird color murder hellzone on her, however, keyleth is smart as hell and also good at understanding weird, cryptic hints. vaxildan is not. ]
What kind of outlier. Is it supposed to be a message? It was a fucking pig tattoo.
[ an outlier is an outlier!!! he's not going to overthink this because he is vax and once again is not meant for too much thinking.
the arm that comes around his shoulders is a little surprising (smooth, emet) but, you know? that touch compulsion means its fine. he just leans into it a little without any real teasing, turning his head to glance up at him. ]
Would've been fucking weird if you were stuck like that longer. Doubt and uncertainty's... what, Iunno. Probably Marine, too. All of ours are fucking depressing. You can't use any blue powers right now, can you?
he gets elbowed gently for this comment!!!! you know what he means! but it's not very hard, so. ]
Maybe that's it. Bringing out the complements, or whatever. I don't know, I haven't had a weird dream and I'm not nearly smart enough to figure out what the fuck any of that means. [ augh!!!! ]
[ maybe. just a theory. colors are dumb. also was that a laugh? that was a LAUGH he knows it was!!!!
vax makes a noise when his hair's being ruffled at, batting at emet's hand, though it's halfhearted. stop his cool hair! ]
Sure, yeah, I guess. Leave the thinking to Percy, if you ask me. [ but emet is right, that vax is smart. he speaks several languages, he's quick on the draw, and knows how to solve problems.
... he just would mostly rather stab the problem than solve it sometimes but you know. ] You two are two peas in a pod for that. Tend to learn by doing, personally.

You may make yourself tea or coffee, if you like.
no subject
he'll come drop onto the couch with a wave of his hand after!! ]
I'm good. Thanks for the hospitality, though. [ he pats the spot next to him! ] What's up?
no subject
I wished to speak with you of something. To show you something, more accurately.
[and he pulls back the sleeve covering the back of one hand to show him this! cute.]
no subject
... Oh, shit. Did you have a weird dream, too, Emet? 's the same one Percival had last week.
no subject
Emet-Selch.
[please. his name. his NAME.]
But yes, I did. It no longer troubles me, at the least; yesterday I was... certainly not myself.
no subject
anyway ]
...What happened? [ he does sound genuinely concerned, at least. :< ]
no subject
[his IMAGE. ugh.]
no subject
...well, if it makes you feel better, it wasn't that noticeable. [ he reaches out and pats him on the arm. there there, bud. ]
Percy's last week made him feel creative. Wonder what the connection is...?
no subject
[...he exhales, slow.]

no subject
...'s probably Marine, then.
[ all the marines have depression, actually. he keeps his hand on his arm for now, frowning, looking away from emet's hand and down at his own. ]
That makes sense, yeah. Maybe one of the other Marines has it? Iunno what the connection's supposed to be, though.
no subject

no subject
[ vax frowns a little further. ]
Percy's being so creative - is that really a trait of you all? [ the pinks. ] He's like that, but - not that much. Iunno.
[ he is not nearly enough of a braincell for this. ] What was the dream about? Don't tell me it was about butterflies with muscles.

[with vax's hand still on his arm, he just. ends up resting an arm around his shoulders, idle, not quite conscious of it. touch week, man.]
I am thankful, however, the aftereffects lasted no longer than a day.

I always can, remember. I am crystalline, after all.
[a quirk of one corner of his mouth, because he does have to tease.]
...but yes. I can, in more than purely that sense.

[imagine targeting that when they seem to change. impossible as hell.
he huffs out a breath when vax complains about not being nearly smart enough, though, ruffling his hair but like, partially just in the annoying way.]
But I expect you could manage well enough, had you a need to.
