[ curfew time! actually

vax is

coming out of the shower? he's

got a towel around his waist at least. ]

- Oh, shit.

[ ... hey.... everyone.... curfew time already, huh, ]

[decisions]

[ percy is sitting on the bed with his sketchbook just vibing really. there are some pretty calm vibes coming off of him. ]

I told you to hurry up.

[daggering]

Couldn't have said something a little louder?!

[ swats at him as he's making his way back to the bathroom goodbye ] You're all in my fucking house, let a man shower in peace!

[decisions]

I did.

[ he didn't. ]

[daggering]

[ flips him off on the way back into the bathroom like a productive adult ]

[fretbro]

[well, he's checking the door to see if it locked, and he glances over his shoulder to this.]

Aw, dude, c'mon! [COVERS EYES]

[daggering]

When did you even show up in here! Is it already - fuck.

[ it's already curfew

yeah.

his emotions go "(liam o brien voice) uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whoops" ]

[fretbro]

Jeeze.

[he's just gonna go... curl up on a couch.

vax'ildick jumpscare aside, he's Anxiety Prime tonight because his bird friend got fucked up.]

[ktiseos]

[...emet's sitting with him. the vibes are similar, though more a tense sort of concern.]

[daggering]

[ ... anyway, now that that's done. he's coming back with a few of the big, comfy blankets from his and estinien's bedroom, and comes to drop one over fret's legs. his vibes are gentler afterwards, worried. ]

...She's okay. We got her stabilized, got her to the pod in time.

[ zetsu better be curfewing in the medbay or i will kill them myself ]

[fretbro]

[gestures at my comment below but - he says this while staring down at his phone:]

I know. I just - it's been like... she texted me right before she went.

[fretbro]

[this sucks, he can't hide his face anymore because he's not a blob of static? also, his emotions are on blast, which SUPER sucks. it's a mix of anxiety and worry and just a touch of fright. nausea. is this what he feels every week during curfew? maybe!

he just kind of vibrates in place, chewing his bottom lip.]

[rindude]

[ah.





it's...a little bit of hesitance on his end, but since emet's on one side and vax is dropping a few blankets on people, riff is going to wander to drop down on his other side and kind of bump his knee into his.

look there's anxiety and worry on his part, too, but he's forcing himself to be calm and hope that bass can pick up those vibes.]

[rindude]

[a blank stare.









and turning around to try to head for the door, despite knowing that isn't how this works.]

[daggering]

[ sorry rindude

the emotional vibes are my bad

he's backing up to go change back into real people clothes now ]

[decisions]

[ holding up sketchbook even tho he's wearing a towel. the children, dude ]

[rindude]

[it's fine. there's a tiny wave of underlying guilt but the primary emotion is really just "dude."]

...I get it. It's easy to lose track of time.

[but he'll scuttle off to go settle down somewhere.]

[daggering]

[ he will return with the pieces of his armor over his arm, but with a bunch of big fluffy blankets, too, and drape one over rindo wherever he's settled. making a clown of himself aside: ]

Glad you made it. Here.

[rindude]

[immediately kind of burrowing into the blankets despite...wearing a hoodie...and a jacket...and probably a shirt under that. damn bitch. but there's still a flicker of worry there even if there's a note of gratitude. and still a little uncertainty.]

Yeah. I...Meteion and I were making plans, but then she disappeared and...

["I want to be a good friend to her, but I don't know if I can be what she needs right now."]

You get it.

[daggering]

I do, yeah.

[ softer for this sweet, bundled riff. maybe gets it better than anybody, actually, that feeling of uncertainty when you just want to help. vax reaches out, and puts his hand on rindo's head. ]

...Right now, we gotta just make it to morning, and be ready to see her then.

[ his baby bird. :< and his baby riff, too. vax ruffles his hair very gently and then pulls his hand up, underlying emotions reading easily under his words - worry, protective worry, care. that same something warm and familial. ]

... y'know, why don't you write her a letter? Or type something on my phone. I'll get it to her. [ tomorrow while the npcs are Occupied ]

[ktiseos]

[LOOKING AWAY IMMEDIATELY

the vibes are internal screaming]

Vax-! Do you not dress in there?!

[decisions]

It could have been less.

[ :)! ]

[ktiseos]

[through grit teeth:]

Yes, thank you for that, Percy.

[daggering]

You're both in my fucking house! I didn't realize it was already time!

[ HE WAS GETTING DRESSED but be glad it wasn't a one

this is muffled from behind the bathroom door ]

[decisions]

[ heeheehoohoohah

but also, he lets up a bit. a little more quietly when vax comes back out. ]

How was she when you left her...?
