daggering | chroma | week 4 curfew

[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.

[ fret your emotions ]

...yeah. Same thing happened when I went. [ he glances across at percy, for a moment, and the concern and worry stays. ] ... sounds like she was brave as hell, whatever she was stuck in.

[ that doesn't make her being hurt literally any better, but, it's something. ] - Maybe most important, she came back. Fucked up to all hell or not, she's still here.

[it's fine, he's shoving all his emotions down into his little cardboard box of conceal don't feel.]

She's still here. [he says, with a sigh.] I hate being locked out like this.

Me too.

[ ... ]

C'mon. Gonna build a fort. Watch one of these cheesy...movies or whatever that're in the box. All of us.

[ television? romcoms? he got movies ]

[ he throws a pillow at vax's head and another, more gently, towards bass' lap. ]

What?

[fort?? he's caught off guard by that, but.]

I - okay, sure. [he takes the pillow, holding it, and then, trying very hard to sound cheerful:] Okay, but you can't let Selchy and Percibro do all the construction because they'll get all into the math and stuff. You gotta make a fort by vibes.

I'm with you, but what the fuck does that mean?

[ what, my good sir, is the fucking vibe

anyway he's been boffed with a pillow that he failed to dodge, so he makes a - ] Mfff. [ noise. ] Go steal the ones off of Yasu and Estinien's beds, it's not like either of them ever use it.

Surely they'll forgive us once they say what we've made.

Vibes - are you serious, Riff hasn't explained to you vibes?

[how very dare] It's like - the mood. Like chill vibes.

[he explains this as he's rolling off the couch to go grab pillows and also just like, probably crouch in the bedroom and die for just a second, it's fine]

[ baby. vibes is a good word?

vax will help!!! he comes in with more blankets and more pillows and dumps them into a pile and lets fret have his emotional yelling. ]

's get some good fucking vibes, then.

I resent that. I can have a bit of fun.

For example, I think we should make it in the shape of a dragon. Or a skull. [ hmph. ]

It doesn't count as "fun" if you spend five hours working out the equations to make it in that shape, first.

Well if you want a lopsided dragon... that's not very menacing...

[ you can physically and emotionally feel him biting back a that's what she said joke

miss you scanlan ]

It's a fucking fort, it doesn't have to be menacing! I trust Bass - Fret, on this one.

Alright, alright, we'll keep the mathematics light.

Need to make sure we have time for whatever awful movie you have planned.

[ awful (affectionate) ]
