but yeah it's time to take off the pants. this is truly getting fucking worse. he absolutely hates this, but gives a nod. ]
Check for squinting if there's any sort of pain left, or blown out vessels in the eyes—red pigmentation.
[ he remembers squinting everywhere last week and no one seemed to notice it... they're really going to have to attune themselves to everyone's behaviors... a sort of quiet exasperation pricks at him. ]
[ thanks the emotions are immediately pleased gremlin. since they're in the apartment and die night has passed, for now, he's gonna get to unlatching his armor. he has clothes on underneath, promise. ]
Sounds like you're gonna have to get naked like the rest of us peasants. [ also obviously a joke, but.
he undoes a shoulder latch and peers back at percy - even if he's quietly exasperated - expression belaying a little more obviously you good? he is worried. ] Sure, yeah. Check out the eyes.
To be bleeding like that from the mouth means whoever it was probably got whacked a lot. [ spoken from experience ] What the fuck makes you bleed from your eyes, though?
[ you would think with all this injury talk vax would not be doing this however
he winks over percy's head at emet which is so unnecessary percy is RIGHT THERE
anyway ]
Agreed. [ more seriously. ] Figured it'd help. Ask around, see if people find anything weird today, give us something to get started on tomorrow. Yeah?
[he just rolls his eyes at vax. you stop that. the vibes are less flustered and more just 'fine this may as well happen you little shit.' a little warmer.]
Be cautious with what you say of this to others, however. Both of you. We know all too well that we must assume anyone may have been afflicted, and while they will have time before tomorrow regardless-- they do not know of this dream. The less they are aware of what they may need to hide, the better off we shall be.
[ you guys he's literally right here. he can't believe you're doing this in front of his salad. he can literally feel ur vibes!!! but also this is cute.
he hums. ]
Agreed, best to play this particular detail close to the chest. But yes, that sounds like a solid plan... see if there are any other locations in play.
also, vax finally slept and is in a notably better mood because percy is in this room let him joke about stripping!!! but, all of those vibes aside, he nods, yawning as he ditches his breastplate in a fwoomf of feathers. ]
Not going to tell anyone else. [ a beat. ] Not much point. I'll probably tell Vin, after the fact, but hopefully it'll help us get shit done.
[ there's no grief here, just the overall sense of "not another one." ]
But he had a clever head on his shoulders, he was just wary of us all, really. Maybe saw it more as a game of chess.
[ he leans back into the couch with a soft huff and stares outwards at their windowed view. no. no grief, just contentment with these two here. it's not the weird contentment and peace of thursday, but rather
it feels truly percy. ]
I shall have to fill his bed with books in honor of him.
[ percy you fucking nerd. vax makes a face and hits him with a couch pillow, though its not hard. ]
Leave it open, I'm over there enough.
[ don't just call dibs on the dead guy's bed ] Tired of sharing space with you, fucking blanket hog. [ it's just like sharing with vex they are clearly made for each other.
anyway. while it's nice to see percy being percy - in a nice way - it is a little bit of a reminder, and he frowns. ]
... 'm not gonna lie to you, I was worried he was going to try something. Wasn't the only one, either.

[he is IGNORING the getting naked comment, thanks.
still feels flustered though.]

We'll see what we need to have a closer look at when we arrive tomorrow...
But this is honestly much better than starting out cold.

[he isn't, like. grieving about it. it's a loss, because november could be sharp when he felt like applying himself to a problem, but.
as he says, they just weren't close.]
I get the impression he wasn't particularly close to many here, if anyone.
