ET: Hey.
ET: I think Im obligated to talk to you after gettin brought out from quarantine and havin a talk with at least D Dad.
ET: But also Im not on Naiad or Odimist to do that on so. You dont have to worry about me makin an attempt at mauling.
ET: Or whatever the fuck it was that I did back there. Its hard to remember except for after it was done.
ET: I saw Finns face. I could tell what he was thinking.
TE: Oh... Nevermind him.
TE: I wasn't afraid of that.
TE: But I did wanna talk to you too.
ET: Easier said than done. But whatever.
ET: Im here.
TE: Well... Um...
TE: Reckon I ain't too prepared for this. I don't really know what to say.
TE: I only know that I've missed you a whole lot.
ET: I dont know either. But Ive missed you too.
ET: And Im fucking exhausted with my own bullshit. Its hard to figure out whats up or down but thats the one thing I know for sure.
ET: Im hells of tired.
TE: Yeah... I can relate.
TE: I don't wanna fight anymore, Joel...
ET: Im just dropping it.
TE: Are you sure? You don't wanna talk about anythin'?
ET: Im not sure.
ET: Last time we tried I bit you which... Im not sure what became of that. Except that I heard you spent the night in the hospital.
ET: Sorry but I confess that any feelings that drove me to pull something like that just.
ET: Like.
ET: Arent worth it.
TE: I suppose not...
TE: If it's any consolation, the bite wound seemed to have uh... healed on it's own?
TE: I was in the hospital cuz I crashed my truck. Tryin' to drive with all that weirdness goin' on in my head wasn't the wisest decision.
ET: I...
ET: Dont know how Im supposed to make sense of any of that topsy turvy bullshit. So Im not going to.
ET: Im just sorry.
TE: Er... Yeah. That's probably for the best.
TE: I only want things to be like the used to be. Or... that we can work towards that again.
ET: Honestly.
ET: I dont know if thats possible.
ET: I dont feel the same as anything I was before. I dont know if I could go back to being that person.
TE: Then I wanna rebuild somethin'.
TE: I want you in my life.
TE: I don't care what kinda person you are... You're still my brother.
ET: Not real sure where to start.
TE: I'm not sure either...
TE: But I'd like to hang out with you sometime. I guess that's somethin'.
ET: Mmmgh. Maybe well work our way up to that.
ET: Still kind of. Uh.
ET: Weird feeling about that.
TE: That's alright.
ET: Not really.
ET: But fine. Well deal.
TE: Yeah... We'll figure somethin' out. Just the fact that we're startin' any place is good enough for me.
ET: Yeah.
ET: For the record. Im on Avalon. In case you were wondering.
TE: Oh, yeah. I was.
TE: Are you stayin' with Mithun?
ET: For a lil while. Its in the middle of nowhere but uh.
ET: Still crowded in some respects.
TE: Whatcha mean?
ET: People stare a lot.
TE: Oh... Right...
TE: I get that.
ET: Its whatever.
TE: Yeah... It is what it is, I suppose.
TE: But for the time bein'... I think I'm gonna keep to myself until I'm used to... all this.
ET: All this super puberty. Gotcha.
TE: Oh geez.
ET: Its the only way to describe it dude.
ET: Increased appetite. Exponantial body hair. Weird body temp regulations.
ET: Weird... intrusive urges.
TE: ... God dang it.
TE: Do you ever wanna chase cars?
TE: Or eat bones?
TE: ... And then actually eat them?
ET: Its freaky and I dont like it.
ET: Do you ever want to rub your face in things that smell good?? People???
TE: All the time...
ET: I dont like it.
TE: Me neither...
ET: I used one of our windows as a door instead of the actual door.
TE: Oh my gosh.
TE: I keep sleepin' in Snarls' dog bed...
ET: Omfg.
ET: Do you consciously make that decision or do you just wind up there?
TE: Um... I guess it's a lil bit of both?
TE: It just feels right.
ET: Sleeping in your dog's bed feels right.
TE: ...
TE: Yes.
ET: Why not get a giant dog bed and make it yours. I know a website.
ET: Give you the link later.
TE: Oh geez.
TE: ... Ok.
ET: Hard to say no. I agree.
ET: Anyway...
ET: Ill let you get back to whatever you were doing before.
TE: Oh right. Ok.
TE: It was real nice talkin' with you again, Joel...
ET: Yeah. Same here.
ET: Seeya Colt.
TE: Take care.

-- impenetrableVitality [IV] began pestering estrapadingTrueblue [ET] at 20:13 --
IV: i need to talk to you
ET: Im sure you do.
ET: The fuck is this about?
IV: you said a lot of stuff last night
IV: your and colt's thing is your thing but
IV: what did i do to make you hate me so much
IV: it's fine that you do i'd just like to know why
ET: Not to sound sardonic but are you referring to recently? Or in general.
IV: let's do both
ET: Yeah cool. Because either one is relevant.
ET: Youre an idiot and I fucking hate seeing you make the same mistakes over and over again. Cuz for whatever reason you never learn from em.
ET: And somehow. It never fails but you always manage to make shit worse for you. Worse for everyone.
ET: Now theres a kid involved and we come back to the initial point.
ET: Youre an idiot.
IV: okay and you're always as vague as possible
IV: what same mistakes am i making exactly
ET: Why are we talking about this like it aint the most obvious shit in the world dude.
IV: because i don't know what the fuck i keep repeating
ET: You dont know how to take care of yourself so you take care of everyone else.
ET: You try but what the hell is the point??
ET: Youve never even liked you???????
ET: Real great example youre gettin ready to set onto someone whos got no way of formulating her own opinion about you.
ET: Its just the fucking worst reason to take in a little girl. To gratify all your own stupid fucking shortcomings.
ET: I hate it. And I hate you. End of story.
IV: that's a real nice story for someone you don't know anymore
IV: i mean i'd hate me too if any of that were true to who i am now
IV: what perspective are you looking from like 3-4 years ago
ET: I dont have to know you any more than you have to know me.
ET: Christ.
ET: Youre THAT predictable.
IV: i can admit i don't know who you are
IV: maybe i did when we were kids but people change and you changed and i changed
IV: i'm not fucking incompetent joel
ET: Still doesnt justify anything.
ET: Why you stayin with Colt huh? Do you not have a plan for her? You?
IV: i have a plan for her not being shoved around foster care like she would be if i hadn't taken her
ET: Thats your self righteous bullshit.
IV: so you're saying i should have left her but you would still hate me just as much wouldn't you
ET: Thats the general thing I was referencing to yes.
IV: because you see people as you want to see them regardless of anything else
IV: i'm finally at a place where i can admit that i've found a much better balance
IV: i can take care of other people and myself at the same time
IV: but you don't want to see that at all
IV: you want to hate me so you keep your reasons
IV: we were friends joel what the hell happened
ET: Whats a friendship if I aint ever been able to depend on you dude.
ET: You know what we talk about when we talk? You.
ET: Maybe Im fucking sick of it.
ET: Thats what the hell happened.
IV: then why didn't you tell me
ET: You didnt deserve to know.
IV: great
IV: perfect
IV: fuck
IV: look
IV: i know i was fucked up
IV: i know i was hurting other people when i was trying to be helpful
IV: like really hurting other people
IV: i have most of it under control now
ET: Well hey. Theres a point in your favor.
ET: Congratulations.
IV: do you know why i did what i did
IV: why i freaked out all the time at everyone and tried to do everything possible to make sure nothing bad happened to them
ET: No.
IV: are you going to let me tell you or will it be a waste of time
ET: Doesnt matter what I think.
IV: well it's not going to change the truth so let's give it a shot
ET: For fucks sake.
IV: ever since i can remember i couldn't stop thinking about everyone around me dying in horrible terrible but possibly preventable ways
IV: especially people i cared about
IV: i didn't want to think about it okay like
IV: but i could imagine it in my head all the time
IV: i found that there were certain items that i knew could help me in certain situations
IV: my backpack
IV: everything in my backpack i counted 3 times every day to make sure i had everything possible to do what i could to make sure no one else died
IV: it took over my life
IV: if i didn't have my backpack then i was too careless then all of those images would be right at the forefront of my mind again
IV: i remember being over at your place and the first time you got a cut all i could see was it getting infected and you dying
IV: it was awful i hated being so paranoid and neurotic all the fucking time
IV: i hated chasing you away
IV: and you're right yeah i hated who i was
IV: and it got to the point where i had somehow convinced myself i was the main problem
IV: i would lead everyone around me to their deaths because of how much my helping didn't actually help
IV: that's when the whole woods thing happened
IV: that's when i got diagnosed
IV: i got medication i got help i learned other methods to keep that stuff out of my head
IV: it didn't always work but
IV: surprise i'm sick
IV: officially fucked up
IV: and i'd like to think i've gone forward from then
IV: now you know
ET: Still dont see the point of you trying to level with me.
IV: if you want proof i'm not the same person
IV: ...
IV: fight me
ET: Bitch what.
IV: you've always wanted to
IV: i never let you
IV: so now i am
ET: Yeah okay.
ET: Time to fuck off Finn.
ET: Go home.
IV: i'm serious
ET: Yeah. So am I.
ET: This conversation never happened.
-- estrapadingTrueblue [ET] ceased pestering impenetrableVitality [IV] at 21:50 --
IV: no
IV: it doesn't work like that
ET: Maybe not to you. But listen.
ET: This isnt working out.
ET: You need to quit while youre ahead and figure whether any of this is actually fucking worth it. Because Ill tell you. Its not.
ET: Live your life and forget I ever expressed some disagreeable opinion about your choices.
IV: i can't forget and i'm not going to forget you or what you say
IV: because you were always family to me too
ET: Then thats your problem.
ET: Im done with you.
ET: Bye Finn.
IV: even if now it's like an estranged cousin that hates me

JOEL: *An appearance at the Hero League HQ is always worth something. Joel is hanging around, not loitering, but going around with the intent of cornering some people of interest. In reality, he wasn't actually welcome here and he knew it. Reveled in it, even. Joel represented a more than a few civilian clients wanting compensation for several cases of destruction of private property thanks to the agents employed by the Hero League.* JOEL: *So there he leans at the grand entrance of the building. Having a canned tea while he people watches. Waiting. Scrolling through the newsfeed on his comm to pass the time.* HUNTSMAN: *obviously, this is auryhn's cue to arrive on the scene. who knows where he dropped from, but in full costume, as always, he lands at joel's side. hands on his hips, he peers over the other man's shoulders.* Mister Strider! It's always a pleasure to see you here at the League HUNTSMAN: Can I help you with something? JOEL: Mn. *says while in the process of chugging tea. Gestures vaguely with one hand.* You can stand.... right there. *Now shaded with Auryhn's shadow, he can read the newsfeed without having to squint against the sunlight.* Perfect. Thanks. HUNTSMAN: *of course he does as joel requests. he serves the people, after all!* You're quite welcome *is a heroic parasol.* HUNTSMAN: Anything else? *smirks at him.* Perhaps you have some business to attend to? HUNTSMAN: You seem rather leisurely, however JOEL: Nothin you gotta concern yourself over Hunts. *pockets the comm.* I am perpetually always on the clock and even when it looks like Im not. I am. JOEL: Much like yourself huh. HUNTSMAN: *smirk widens into a grin at the comparison.* Indeed! You and I are cut from the same cloth, it would seem HUNTSMAN: Though you may be preoccupied, would you still be willing to spare the time to take a walk with me? JOEL: In the costume dude? *slurrrrrrps tea and crushes up the can as if he's honestly considering it. Let's be real.* Yeah. JOEL: *Allow him to take the lead, however.* JOEL: You ever hear back about that Meikito girl? Were still diggin up information on my end. HUNTSMAN: I'm afraid not *strolls into the building, holding the door open for joel. they're going to have to go through security, but it's pretty stream lined.* It's unfortunate! She has a lot of potential... And I would very much like to assist her in her search JOEL: Aint like HL is lackin in manpower. *says this immediately after walking past the door Aurhyn is holding open. His bicep briefly in Joel's line of sight. He only realizes this after the fact and silently... asks himself why. Thankfully facing away from him, Aurhyn doesn't catch the face he's making.* JOEL: ... JOEL: Hence the whole recruiting gig. *recovers* HUNTSMAN: It isn't about manpower, Joel! You make us sound so brutish when you use such terms HUNTSMAN: Our goal here is to collaborate to fight against common threats to our beautiful city! Are are stronger together than individually, are we not? *presses onward, giving his bow to security and sauntering on through.* JOEL: *follows more slowly. He's got a security routine to go through.* Im almost sure your sponsors paid you to say that. JOEL: No. *strides after him when he's clear* I bet you five bucks they did. Cmon. HUNTSMAN: What! *OFFENDED GASP.* I resent that HUNTSMAN: Sponsors are a necessity in keeping our venture here afloat... But they do not dictate my values, sir JOEL: Okay. *smirks a little* Then I bet youre only saying that because there are cameras around. Always someone watchin. JOEL: Not dissin you. Just calling you out on dedication. HUNTSMAN: ... HUNTSMAN: IT'S TRUE HUNTSMAN: I am very dedicated to my work! JOEL: You hesitated. *walking with hands in his slacks* You owe me five now.

Joel is chilling in the bean bag pile, half watching Dangle Rooble animes and eating dried fruit snacks when Zuserk drops down.* .............. *slowly eats another raisin, giving him a passive stare down* JOEL: Guess it never occurred to me you had swim gear. Or needed it. ZUSERK: didn. ZUSERK: rammie. JOEL: You look good. ZUSERK: ... *just kind of crawls closer. sits nearby instead.* appreciae. ZUSERK: was no effor. JOEL: *offers him some dried fruit snacks* Like sure youre tryin but its practically effortless. ZUSERK: ... no. *reaches. he might... actually... eat some??? like, in front of him. incredible.* JOEL: *Joel isn't here to judge him. Pours out some dried bananas strawberries and raisins for him.* For what its worth. Youre more of a guy who goes for function over fashion anyway. JOEL: So I feel the no effort thing. ZUSERK: don seem... to require effor. have approval. of only relevan opinions. *he sticks a single banana slice in his mouth. CRUNCH.* JOEL: Sounds like a good deal. *cracks a smile to himself* Got your priorties straight. Like always. JOEL: You still down for that shower? ZUSERK: ... can leave now. yes. ZUSERK: *puts a raisin in his mouth.* JOEL: Uh no. JOEL: I mean my shower. JOEL: With me. ZUSERK: *slow smiles.* ZUSERK: hnn. JOEL: *...no. He was trying to be cool here and now that's ruined by a creeping blush to his face.* JOEL: Yeah just. JOEL: Think on it. Or something. ZUSERK: am teasin you. joel. JOEL: Its always somethin awful. *mild pout as he nibble this banana piece* ZUSERK: seems. exaggeration. JOEL: I thought trolls were all about exaggeration. JOEL: As well as mixin words together so they mean the same thing. JOEL: Awful can be good too. ZUSERK: am no trolls. ZUSERK: swell is goo. ZUSERK: say swell. JOEL: I bet it is. *srrrrrrks* ZUSERK: nnnn. JOEL: Swell I say. Swell. *cranks up the accent* ZUSERK: more. exaggeration. JOEL: For comedic effect. ZUSERK: is also. endearin. JOEL: Just makes for underestimation. JOEL: Surprises are the gifts that keep on giving. ZUSERK: yes. fin this true also. JOEL: *boink, flicks a raisin at his horn* ZUSERK: nn--! ZUSERK: *squint* JOEL: Five second rule. ZUSERK: *he just stares at the raisin on the floor. slowly picks it up. then reaches over and puts it up to Joel's mouth, completely stoic.* ZUSERK: helpin. JOEL: *stares him straight in the eye as he chomps it* Thank you hon. ZUSERK: welcome. JOEL: Aight. *starts climbing out of beanbag* Shower time. JOEL: Lets hop to it. JOEL: *offers one of his hands out to help him up* ... *decidedly offers both hands* ZUSERK: ... *just. puts the rest of the fruit in his mouth. FUCK IT. he has a couple free hands to grab Joel's in the meantime. He doesn't need them, but it's an excuse.* JOEL: *You're damn right it's an excuse. Zuserk gets a peck to the cheek as a reward.* ZUSERK: ... *soft crunching.* nn. JOEL: *He is cute... but that's completely normal. Tugs Zoos along by one maybe two fingers off towards the showers. Welcome back into his bathroom.* So what I was itching to say before. JOEL: I know what me and Pythia are going to get on building. JOEL: Bet you cant guess. ZUSERK: ... is. animal? JOEL: ...Not completely. *Okay. This could turn into a fun game. Joel is tugging off his shirt with a grin.* ZUSERK: *Zuserk is... watching. He doesn't have much to take off, here.* ... animal with. pythia aestheti. JOEL: I think that goes without sayin. *kicking off the lower half of his clothes now. He nude now and goes to fiddle with the shower.* JOEL: Its a robot its an animal. Kind of. JOEL: Its got Pythias aesthetic written all over it. ZUSERK: ... ZUSERK: *looks at the ceiling* ZUSERK: birdplane? JOEL: Holy shit. Thats incredible. *actually laughs and flicks his hand of nice warm water* Weirdly youre on the right track. JOEL: Sans the bird. ZUSERK: hnn... ZUSERK: *well, now he's really thinking about it.* JOEL: Ill give you one more guess. JOEL: Make it four. *wink* ZUSERK: can. be ridden. or driven. JOEL: *waggles eyebrows* ZUSERK: animal shape vehicle? ZUSERK: have to guess animal? ZUSERK: woul imagine. colorful. JOEL: Okay. So. Okay. *He's too excited to keep it a secret now.* Its gonna be a mecha suit right. ZUSERK: ... ZUSERK: oh. JOEL: Pink and all bunny themed and anime as shit. But its fun dude. Thats what makes it fun. ZUSERK: ... see. ZUSERK: *right. he was doing something. he slides those swim trunks off.* JOEL: Yeah and she really digs it so like. Why the hell not? *cheerful rambling, the happiest clam* ZUSERK: *dammit joel....* is. nice. yes. ZUSERK: gla for this. JOEL: Yeah haha. *rubs his arm and appears unconscious of it* Probably not as cool as what you and Rammie are gonna do. ZUSERK: don. see difference. JOEL: I mean I got the know how but none experience. Im probably gonna be asking my dads for advice... if they dont try taking it over themselves. ZUSERK: shouldn le them. is. your experience. JOEL: *makes himself busy jumping into the shower* ...Itll be a struggle either way. ZUSERK: yes. ZUSERK: can be overcome. also. JOEL: *gestures for him to come in* ZUSERK: *he's sort of hovering there just outside until Joel waves him in, and he steps in carefully, one ear flicking at the pelting of warm water.* JOEL: *immediately gets his hands up in his hair and smooches at his forehead* Im glad you had fun today. ZUSERK: *leans in so he can do just that.* am also. JOEL: What else happened? *rubbing his shoulders and chest down with soap. So lovingly.* I mean the swiim trunks gotta be excitin. ZUSERK: *oh no... that's nice... his eyes narrow to slits.* learne. rammie can swim. better than me. ZUSERK: ... no difficul accomplishmen. however. notable. ZUSERK: also. JOEL: Absolutely nobody could have seen that coming. *scrub scrub his arms* ZUSERK: am investigatin. a fashion rule. is. surprisingly difficul. JOEL: What rule are we talkin about. *shifting over to get at his back now* ZUSERK: whie. after "labor day." ZUSERK: *casually turns for him* JOEL: Eh. Its just some classist type bullshit made up on Earth culture for fucking ever ago. JOEL: Now its just a superstition. ZUSERK: can fin no certain source. is interestin. JOEL: Lets be real. Id never be able to participate in that practice. JOEL: Im white every goddamn day of my life. JOEL: At least my hair is lmao. ZUSERK: hair. coun as fashion? JOEL: Yes. You always take care of your hair. *Speaking of which, time to scrub the bug's scalp with shampoo. But alas. He is too tall.* Do the honors. JOEL: *gets at scrubbing his own scalp nice and clean* ZUSERK: ... hnn. *He doesn't know much about that, either. But he does know it is very easy to get distracted, instead, and any number of his hands find Joel's waist so he can lean down and kiss his neck. And probably get shampoo on his face. Is this not what Joel was wanting?? Too late.* JOEL: *hums at the smooch on his neck, the hands on his waist. Well no it's not EXACTLY what he wanted but he'll take it.* ...Do me next. *grins at him* ZUSERK: ... after this. *Yeah, he's reaching for the soap. Nothing more to say about that. Four whole soapy hands find different spots on Joel's torso, and maybe neither their gentleness or efficiency is a surprise.* JOEL: *It's no surprise at all and in fact, gives Joel a chance to start humming in earnest. First aimlessly and then with a little more direction.* Hmm hm hm.... oh damn oh damn im so perplexed.... Hmm hmn... Just one breath im locked in. JOEL: Da da da da da... On that its almost shockin. ZUSERK: ... *The odd thought occurs to him that Joel is revealing his inner songbird tendencies all of a sudden, and it might be more amusing if it were less charming. He hadn't entirely registered how he had started to smile, yet, gaze focused on his work.* JOEL: *He's happy therefore he sings.* Cause if I want you... and I want you babe... Aint goin backwards. Wont ask for space. JOEL: Cause space was just a word made up by someone whos afraid to get too... Close. (Ohhh.) ZUSERK: *As soon as he's done, he doesn't dare interrupt; instead, he just gets his arms around Joel's soapy body again, nuzzling right into the crook of his neck with a barely audible chirr. He's happy, too.* JOEL: *singing dissolves back into hum, lips pressing onto the skin of Zuserk's shoulder. A whole parade of gentle, warm kisses as a thumb draws idle circles there for a second.* ZUSERK: ... *He's crouching just a tiny bit just to get a couple hands secure on Joel's bottom and the other two on his thighs, and then he is apparently scooping him up, draping either leg at the sides of his hips, and rotating them around so Joel can meet the shower stream. He's also going to keep holding him. Nailed it.* JOEL: *Zuserk has got to be the fucking smoothest, always. Huffs as he's being lifted, still being NEW to this whole manhandling business. And given the compromising position, Joel's humming faulters altogether. Just to look at him. Maybe steal a few kisses... or just one that lingers....* ZUSERK: *Smooth?? This was just an impulse he ran with, but he's glad he did, glad for the way the taste settles on his lips with the same kind of unspoken promise he's coming to know. What is a bit less intentional is the slightest brush of movement at the underside of one of Joel's thighs. Whoops??* JOEL: Mmm... *What is that. His first guess is that it's one of Zuserk's hands, plus it's not like he can crane himself to see or anything. But one thing he could say that for as slight as it is, it sure feels good. The questioning 'mm's become more 'mhmm's of curiousity. He returns to the regularly scheduled programming of pressing soft kisses to the corners of Zuserk's mouth.* ZUSERK: *He's sort of hesitant to move now, to further give himself away -- not for his sake, of course, but more for Joel's. He doesn't want to... startle him? Nothing wrong with being careful. He sort of hasn't thought of how he's just staring at Joel while he considers all this. His bulge isn't much getting it, either, with how it inches out further and swipes closer to the inside of his thigh. Kind of making the whole consideration a moot point, here.* JOEL: *So the first time was a guess, the second time he feels movement along his thigh, all doubt is removed from his mind. Joel is now up to speed with exactly what was going on, as evident by the glance he steals from Zuserk. Congratulations everyone.* ...... *still looking right at Zuserk as he begins rubbing himself against him, catching whatever friction he could here with his legs still wrapped around his sides. Yes. So far so good.* ZUSERK: ahh-- hn-- *Alright, that is definitely much quicker than /inching/ out now, all cool and slick and broad and pressing up into Joel from below, and his hold his almost the tiniest bit shaky now. Zuserk makes the decision to get them a little more support, so he turns just enough to press Joel's back into the shower wall instead of nothing, his bulge just sort of swiping around at whim and closer, more curious still.- ZUSERK: ... joel. JOEL: Nnnhh... *That wall was ungodly cold, but nothing compared to the front half of him. The half that's being pressed in by Zuserk and striking some... stirrings from deep inside. Arms and legs tense around the hold Joel has around him as he exhales.* ...Yeah? *Keep it cool, keep it casual. Act like being crushed against the shower wall wasn't making hard, if the bulge running under him wasn't alread JOEL: y. Everything's fine.* ZUSERK: *He's watching Joel straight on, carefully observing any change in expression, anything he can try to pick up on and make sense out of. But he still needs to ask, as always.* wha... woul you. lie. to do. here? JOEL: Like specifically? Cuz... *Yep, that is still squirming he's feeling at his underside. It makes Joel distracted for a moment long enough to trail off. Oh yeah. Words.* We have options. Might wanna analyze those first. ZUSERK: yes. ZUSERK: pu you here. ZUSERK: seems fair to inquire. JOEL: Build us up a presentation for the board members. Run it by them for approval. Get the shit patented and sold in department stores nationwide. ZUSERK: ... JOEL: Im talkin pictographs and pie charts. JOEL: This is... hard business. *There it is.* ZUSERK: *His gaze sort of trails down for a moment before snapping back up.* ... yes? JOEL: Resounding yeses from the audience. *begins rubbing himself again, his back helpfully supported by the wall behind him. Zuserk better not loosen his grip.* I say... We go with this fine helpin of resources and see just what comes out of it. JOEL: Alternatively. JOEL: I could stand to kneel for a time. *says this like hmmm yeah* ZUSERK: *His bulge is pressing up closer, sort of nudging its way between yielding flesh, and he's only sort of maybe seventy-five percent listening to Joel as his nerves spark blissfully for attention. He's definitely not letting go; rather, he holds a little tighter.* --yes? JOEL: Ye-.... *words catch because the sliding has become nudging and it's really REALLY very distracting. Not to mention insistant. Joel can't find that he can ramble too much more.* JOEL: Y es. *Fuck.* ZUSERK: *He huffs out, soft, and he can't entirely help the need to lower his head again, his horns lightly tapping the shower wall and sort of jolting him, but he can ignore it for the sake of burying his face in Joel's warm shoulder and pressing a kiss there, breath hitching again as the tip of his bulge has definitely gotten the gist of all this and is presently making an attempt to work itself into Joel, slow and seeping out a convenient slickness.* nn... JOEL: *It was an... interesting sensation. Joel's voice faltering even more the further a PROBING pressed into, followed by the rapid decline in stringed thoughts as the pressure increased. Very slightly but definitely. Interesting. It's the only word coming to him right now, heart thumping in his chest. With Zuserk's breath on his shoulder, Joel wills his legs to relax from around him, relying on the inclination of his back against the shower and the guy's strength enough to just CARRY him. Bent knees and feet dangle on either side of Zuserk as Joel's upper half curls into him, a sound beginning to grind out of him.* ...Shit. *puffs. Where he can't squirm from below, his fingers are tensing into Zuserk's back. He's waiting for more.* ZUSERK: *His kisses trail over to Joel's neck in an instinctual attempt at reassurance as Zuserk senses the tension releasing, shifting in his body, carefully holding up the weight with little difficulty as of yet and more than content to allow Joel to make himself comfortable in whatever way he needed. This was, as he understood, a somewhat delicate act. He isn't trying to actively push quite so much anymore as he feels himself languidly sliding in deeper, the softest rumble of a hum in his chest.* joel... is... alrigh? JOEL: Yeah yeah I... *hhh. He hadn't even realized how hot his face was feeling, not until cool lips kiss along his neck. He's arching his neck then, the more the flexible shape pressed into him. Teeth clamped down on his lip, Joel had to be conscious of his own tightness resisting entry but. Shit shit. Zuserk was always so careful and gentle with him, it wasn't all that Joel could focus on right now.* JOEL: Cant... words. Right now. *breathes out against his shoulder, his attention wavering completely. There was... an acute difference in temperature for one. The sensation of something DEFINITELY moving inside him until- Woah. Woaahhhhhhmmnnnn. A similar sound escapes him as the bulge tip teases at a certain spot deep inside. Where Joel was feeling the warmth of arousal spread slow as melting butter before, suddenly spiked in intensity. Evident by his gasp, the digging of his fingers finally, and the pulsations in the cock pressed up against Zuserk's belly. Can't be much doubt there.* ZUSERK: --nn? *The vocal affirmation had been one thing, but /this/ -- Joel's gasping, arching body, fingertips (harmlessly) digging into Zuserk's skin, hot flesh pressed against him like it's starved for attention -- that is all quite a bit different. Clearly, he's caused it somehow, and the curiosity has him flexing his own cock inside Joel, wondering where it's all coming from, if he can replicate the reaction, multiply it. One of his hands reaches closer between them, but ends up hovering over Joel's erection indecisively, not willing just yet to interrupt the experiment.* JOEL: *the second time the jolt of pleasure surges through him... INTO that sweet spot deep inside, a brilliant collection of curses start spilling out before Joel can help it, fingernails scrabbling at Zuserk's back. Punctated mostly by the cry he's not very successfully but trying to keep a lid on.* Motherfffffuuuuu--ahhhhh...! *Helplessly caught up in how his insides were being stroked, how he seemed to tense from around Zuserk but still want more. It's then that his mouth is pressing back to Zoos's shoulder, kissing breathlessly, and then sinking dull teeth against gray flesh. Worrying purple spots to appear. This was all happening very fast for Joel.* Mmmmnnnnn... ZUSERK: *Oh. Okay. That's an even more distinct reaction than he had been expecting, and he almost wished he could make actual notes; he supposed he didn't need to, though, because he suspected he wasn't going to forget any of this just yet. He would have time just to experience it for now, to let it happen, and the idea of continuing to be a part of this, as he did with Joel, was still as different as it was thrilling. He wasn't sure what to think about the teeth on his shoulder; was it encouragement? Just self-expression? A different kind of message? For now, he's still going, flexing turned to gentle squirming, mapping out this new territory with each slow-passing second. He finally lets that hand fall, fingers curling around hard-pulsing flesh in a hold he imagines in his head is reassuring, but is probably mostly just further agitating.* isn... hurtin? joel? *Maybe a funny question to ask the guy currently biting him, but, you know.* JOEL: *Goddamn the talking thing again. The bites dissolve a bit as he attempts to string some words together.* N... no. Im not gonna.... *The back of his head presses against the shower wall as a full body shudder passes through him, leaving Joel's to chest to expand helplessly for breath. Every slight brush and movement inside further winds the heat for him. The shaft of his dick is taken in by a cool, gentle palm and he knows it's only a matter of time.* Shit... *Hhhh.* ZUSERK: *Isn't going to what? There are so many mysteries to solve and so little time to do it, so divided in focus, and maybe he just has to sacrifice some things for the sake of not letting his mind get too far on a tangent. It's sort of difficult, but he's trying. Redirect thoughts to his own sensations for a minute, and it's occurring to him rather suddenly how /nice/ it feels, how Joel shuddering and panting in his hold isn't just interesting but /interesting/, and the way his hand moves around heated flesh seems natural to match how his bulge gladly writhes in tight-enveloping warmth, the rest of his hold on Joel sort of shifting to angle him closer, and he's vaguely aware of the water getting cooler as it continues impassively pelting his legs.* ZUSERK: *He sort of nuzzles his face into the side of Joel's, voice low, closer to his ear.* souns... better. then. is i? joel? JOEL: *if he could be rocking himself into Zuserk's hand, he would be. And it seems like the shocks of pleasure have some place to go now, Joel breathing hard against his neck. The sound he grinds out eminates from deep inside the liquid heat of his core, a catalystic side effect of the proximity of Zuserk's voice. Versus the contrast of everything he was doing to him.* Its... so fuckin gOOD. *WHINES in a pathetic kind of way he's really going to regret later. But sooner actually because as Joel is making an embarrassment of himself, he is also being pumped closer and closer to the edge. Cock is straining under the moving palm, dribbling in a viscous mess until... that last reflexive roll of Zuserk's bulge deep within his buried flesh. Hot muscles tense all over until the pulses are overtaking him. And curling out his spine so fast, Joel doesn't even have time to vocalize it properly.* AH--!! ZUSERK: *It's strange, how he sort of lets himself get lost in this for so many long, wonderful seconds, how he doesn't know anything else in the world but Joel's body against him and around him, every sound and movement and breath, every warm, shifting, slick sensation -- everything, all at once. So when it happens, it's not that he's taken off guard, per se, but that he found it difficult to prepare himself for what it felt like to be a part of Joel while he experienced something wonderful, something so overwhelming that it overwhelmed him, too. He could do little else but be present in every way, the sounds of Joel's cries etching themselves on the walls of his mind, the feeling of all the tension in the world and how it seemed to empty out all at once onto him, which... wasn't entirely wrong, actually, if he were also considering the warmth that spilled onto his skin. Which, of course, he was. He seemed too awed to do much but experience it alongside Joel, encouraging what he could until he let his movements ebb away completely, to let Joel breathe. He hasn't pulled out yet, but it occurs to him that maybe he should. He will decide in a minute, once he stops staring at Joel's face and vicariously seeing stars.* JOEL: Jesus- fuck-! *The worst part is yet to come for Joel. Even as the white hot shock of his orgasm washes over his skin and ebbs slightly... the squirming motions pressing into him is still spreading HEAT into his hyper-sensitive core. F UCK was right. None of it is Zuserk's intention, he would guess, if he could afford to guess right now. The sensation was all too new and raw for Joel because... truth be told. He's never done more than finger himself before, and even that was all experiments from days when Joel would reprimand himself for exploring this kind of pleasure. The sad testament of a bro backed up in his own little closet space. But nevermind all of that. Joel was currently too tender from the inside out, spineless now that the first tension had rocked out of him, and too aware of his own dick beginning to twitch again. Eyes can focus on Zuserk again, the way the other stared at him. It perpetuated the intensity of the weight still pressing into him and how it was wringing fragments of the truth out the mess that was Joel. Such ragged, pained sounding puffs of breath.* One more... Zuser k Im gonna...! ZUSERK: *Wait-- Wait, /what?/ He was /just/ about to pull out, concerned by those heavy breaths, when Joel spoke up. Now, his gaze was flickering between Joel's face and his own hand, still curled around what seemed to be a very confused cock (at least they had that in common), and he risks loosening his grip to slide his touch over it, instead, feather-light, as some sort of compromise between stopping or continuing just in case either happened to be wrong. His bulge, though -- that wasn't hesitating nearly so easily, especially with how every thought and image and feeling just soaked its way into Zuserk's bones and made it relatively /impossible/ for him not to be all the more achingly aroused.* JOEL: Fuuuuckkkkkk-  *it's the only sound that he can make in these dizzying slow seconds, teetering between spilling over again and being strung from the inside out on sensitivity. The slide of his touch was borderline agonizing and elicts another yearning groan from him. Closer to a plead, actually. He is panting and taking up Zuserk's hand around his dick to give himself a shaky squeeze. Joel feels himself so close, every consequence and hint of shame is virtually nonexistant to his brain. Before he knows it, his hand is pumping Zuserk's touch over him again and again until... Joel is losing himself to the rush of release again with another powerful shudder. Rest in fucking pieces.* ZUSERK: *The curse doesn't make much of anything clearer, but the hand around his does, in fact, and it's easy enough to get the hint, to follow the motions, even if he's amused by how Joel's taken over at least half the effort out of raw desperation; though, "amused" is probably a little too succinct to really summarize everything he feels about all of this, his gaze still trying to decide where to settle as he allows Joel to use him to work himself to orgasm, again. This time, after witnessing another spectacular display of messy unraveling, he decides he /should/ pull out, so he withdraws slow and easy as he supports the entirety of Joel's weight still, shifting mindfully, but not too much. He might just give him a minute before actually putting him down, the hand that was previously touching Joel now moving to squeeze around the base of his own bulge. He watches, waits.* JOEL: *Spectacular might be one way Zuserk summarizes it but Joel was still coming to terms that it happened at all. But there's no denying the mess of himself, the wobbly useless feel in his knees, and his won bonelessness as he leans heavily into Zuserk's chest. Utterly spent and burning in his own creeping shame.* ............. *Would it be okay to ignore what just happened for a few minutes? These particular few minutes to be exact? But no, leave it to Joel to ruin the moment by being a dork.* ...I swear to god I had no idea that was going to happen. ZUSERK: *He's quiet for several seconds.* ... admi. didn predi either. JOEL: *groans... Alright. Let him forget about the exact HEIGHT of his embarrassment and stroke fingers at Zuserk's nice curly tentadick. Let it roll into his palm a little, or if not, stroke it with some encouragement to do so. Sneaks a surly glance up at him before just. Drawing himself close enough to press a kiss to him.* ZUSERK: *Oh. That is what's happening now, apparently, and of course there's no way his bulge is even going to bother trying to resist the promise of more contact, more things to throw itself into and writhe against. Zuserk has no idea what that look is supposed to mean, presently, but he knows exactly how the pulse between his thighs is taking it, how the soft press of lips forces a rolling spasm all the way to his tip.* --/nn/. ZUSERK: shoul. pu you down... *It's almost sort of a question.* JOEL: ...Yeah. *veeeeery reluctantly starts shifting for Zuserk to set his feet on the ground. He stands, abeit still leaning back against the shower wall but still. The better to kiss at his chest and work both hands along his twisting, dripping bulge.* ZUSERK: *He was going to maybe let him sit or something after all that, but making things happen right now is becoming increasingly more difficult, and he realizes he had rested a now-free hand against the shower wall at some point, another one or two still holding onto Joel and torn between moving this elsewhere and moving /at all/. He probably said Joel's name again in between thoughts, but he wasn't about to dwell on it.* JOEL: *Whatever is going through Zuserk's mind at the time, Joel has no idea. He's too busy focusing on the sweet sound of his name and giving his bulge a nice rub down. And nothing said he was restricted to just using his hands. Joel guides it to squirm against the flat of his stomach, running his handle on it in slick smooth motions. All the way up to the tip with one hand and back to the base with the other. Kisses press onto the side of his face, whatever bit of nuzzling skin his mouth could reach.* Cmon baby youre gettin there. *sighs his encouragment and slides the flat of his palm down his length again and again* ZUSERK: *Similar to his previous failed prediction, he couldn't have predicted how the words felt like striking a match in his head, the subsequent heat trailing its way all the way down to his belly, and he was sure he must have felt almost /warm/, if that meant anything to the comparatively feverish skin he couldn't help leaning into, clinging closer, puffing out less and less controlled breaths and seeking further assurances and encouragements as if they would keep him on his feet, despite the fact that he was fairly certain they only made him feel dizzier. It was a funny thing he said, then. It might be funnier if Joel could actually decipher it.* woul you... tell me-- nn... JOEL: Tell you what... how fucking good you are to me? *nibbles and murmurs into a floppy ear, his touch only seeming to grow more paced and thorough over the tense dark purple flesh.* Or how good you are at fucking me. *cracks a grin and swipes his tongue along the crook of his jaw, kissing and still whispering.* JOEL: Either way... One of these days Ill make a fucking mess of you. Just for a taste of what you do to me. Fuck... *mouths at his neck with another sigh* If I dont wish I was tasting you right now. Goddamn greedy... ZUSERK: *The hushed sound of Joel's voice in his ear combined with the sharp little presses of teeth, those were enough, but the words kept going, his mouth still wandering, and his hands hadn't slacked the whole time; his body felt like one rigid line soaking in more tension than it could responsibly take, the actual meanings of the words bouncing around his skullspace far too quickly for his body to respond with little more than figurative curses at how the sensations piled onto one another. These words, they weren't what he had been asking for exactly, but neither he or his bulge were disappointed by the response. Except that maybe Zuserk wished he had been able to hold out long enough to clarify before the very literal splatter of plum-colored material that seemed to happen in any direction it damn well pleased. Formerly intensely quiet Zuserk was turning into a rarer, much louder Zuserk fairly immediately, even if he's entirely aware of how counterintuitive it is to be loud but he doesn't /care/ presently because he can feel himself throbbing in Joel's slickened fists, the heat of his skin and the way his own thready, breathy moans echo in the small space between his mouth and the side of Joel's head, where he is presently hiding his burning face, seemingly to stay for some time.* JOEL: Shit... *puffs out as finally Zuserk spills over. The intensity was in those few seconds that his arms tensed around him, felt the cool gush of color onto his midrift, stunning enough to rob Joel of his breath all over again. And all he could do was mutter further encouragements, barely audible, as he lets Zoos ride out the pleasure in his palms. He swears he wants to catch the heat of that sound in his mouth, which would explain the kisses he was craning to peck to him. Soft and congratulatory.* ZUSERK: *There's a soft /squish/ as he just sort of presses himself the rest of the way into Joel to lean, grunting softly at how he's trapped his bulge there between them, but that's probably for the best until he can clean it off, anyway. He's more than open to kisses, even if he's a little too dazed to be returning them properly.* nnnn... JOEL: Kinda makes you wish we were canoodlin now huh. *snickering, circling an affectionate thumb the tip of his bulge. They're both just leaning up against the shower all, Joel completely happy to envelop himself against him.* But damn if this aint just as good. *He's subject to ramble a little bit. This WAS a mess of purple he had on himself. It was pretty distracting.* ZUSERK: ... canoodlin? *Sorry Joel, he's sort of stuck on that word.* JOEL: *It's okay. He's gotchu, Zuserk.* Yeah. Of the post coitus variety. Casnugglin canoodlin. ZUSERK: ... this is... no the same? *He doesn't understand. Also, his head is kind of foggy. Also, Joel's very close face is incredibly attractive. Also, Joel's thumb is still touching his bulge.* JOEL: Im not snuggling you but. I am fairly... distracted. *eyes fall to take a gander at the bulge again. Yes he is still touching him.* JOEL: Doesnt really count. ZUSERK: can. mae coun...? JOEL: No worries. Well get around to that. *sneaks a glance at him* How are you feelin? ZUSERK: ... nnn. ZUSERK: *He takes a few seconds.* ... swell. JOEL: Hm oh well guess I already knew that. *says while thumbing Mister Wiggly here. Joel please.* ZUSERK: ... joel... *Why.* JOEL: Huh. JOEL: Yeah. ZUSERK: am. ZUSERK: nn. ZUSERK: is... ZUSERK: touchin. ZUSERK: *He's kind of shifting a little, maybe trying to pull back some?? But not much. He's feeling a weird kind of indecisive.* JOEL: Oh yeah. Okay. *Doesn't think twice about it before releasing him. Slowly straightens himself up too.* My bad. ZUSERK: *He huffs a little breath, not certain if that was what he really wanted, but at least maybe he can string a thought and a sentence together, now. Not that he's going to use that opportunity just yet, because he's leaning to kiss Joel again, grabbing his own bulge before it makes any attempts to run away.* ... appreciae. you. JOEL: *The thing about Zuserk is Joel can never REALLY predict what's going on in his head unless the guy outright spelt it out for him. Or kissed him and reached to touch his own bulge like it was the only natural thing to do. God damn. He only speaks once his lips aren't otherwise occupied.* ...I gotta say I find myself appreciating you too. ZUSERK: *There's something about it -- all of it, but mostly and especially just Joel -- that makes him smile. He's tugging Joel away from the wall again, gently, closer to the stream of water.* wan... to finish here? or. have other plans. JOEL: Oh. Nope. Im uhh... *the water hits his hair or maybe its the lugging that studders his thoughts. The slight discomfort of walking? Joel's face is feeling hot with embarrassment all over again but it's not like he knew anything about that.* Nah. Im good. ZUSERK: ... joel. ZUSERK: hesitation. ZUSERK: *He's just pausing right there.* JOEL: Im talking about plans. I have no plans Im just... good. *YOURE NOT HELPING HIS FLUSTERED.* ZUSERK: somethin else. JOEL: Right. JOEL: Think you might be referencing how its a lil hard for me to walk straight right now. *Let him die.* ZUSERK: ... oh. ZUSERK: ... ZUSERK: can hol you. JOEL: Thats embarrassin. *Let him d i e.* ZUSERK: isn. ZUSERK: seems. natural response. ZUSERK: wan to assis. JOEL: I know it is and also I know you do. *huffs* Let me just... dry myself off first at least. ZUSERK: ... okay. ZUSERK: *He's just going to pull away, then, and continue to address himself in this stream of water.* JOEL: *starts to step out of the shower, wringing out his hair and going for a towel. He is very determined about this.* ZUSERK: *Maybe he messed up?? He doesn't know. It's still hard for him to tell. It seems reasonable just to let Joel have what he wants, for now, except that the question won't stop bouncing around in his head while he finishes washing himself off, so of course he can't stop himself from asking after he switches the water off.* ... upse. with me? JOEL: Not... really. *God, he was feeling dumb. Just throwing on some pajama pants.* Its just me being. JOEL: An idiot about his pride. ZUSERK: *He still hasn't even stepped out of the shower, just standing there as thoughts run through his head, as he tries to pick over them as rapidly as he can. Maybe this was something he shouldn't have done. Maybe Joel hadn't been ready. Maybe he had hurt him, maybe Joel was hurt by /that/, maybe-- no, no. Make sense of this.* ZUSERK: ... elaborae? JOEL: *He can see the thoughts racing for Zuserk plain as day and if anything, it only makes Joel more frustrated with himself. The towel running through the white springs of his hair is agitated.* I was just. Embarrassed. JOEL: Cuz its not supposed to be a big deal and it really isnt. *the heat on his face is very present* I just wanted to handle it like it aint a big dea but. That also conflicts with you wanting to take care of me and its all... Just my issue. God. ZUSERK: *He's still standing there, trying to work all of this out. It's a lot more difficult to buy himself time in person than over a chat client.* ... brough. attention to this. causes you discomfor. ZUSERK: maybe. too soon. JOEL: *Why'd he have to be such an asshole.* Baby no. It wasnt. I wanted it and you wanted it. Im the one whos gotta get over himself?? JOEL: Dont. *Fuck, now he's swallowing hard.* Dont let me why you regret it happening now. ZUSERK: *He feels like he is making this worse, now, but he isn't sure what else to do than try to make sense of all this in order to make it better. Isn't that what he's doing? But Joel is getting upset.* only. wan to be. ready. nice. for you. ZUSERK: don. know wha. ZUSERK: shoul. ZUSERK: do wha? now? JOEL: Nothing. None of this... is your fault. *fists are slowly unclenching. He didn't even realize they were closed. He's just giving Zuserk the most pathetic soaked puppy dog look now.* Hold me maybe. ZUSERK: ... *Oh. He thinks he is starting to understand, and after a few more seconds, it's apparent how he starts to relax, standing up a little straighter.* ZUSERK: can do this. ZUSERK: *Two hands move up to press at his eyes, and then he's stepping out, still... very wet.* JOEL: *It hurt for Joel to see him that way. BECAUSE of Joel. The least he can do is to close the space between them with a towel. Keep the self reprimands all to himself and just focus on the look on his face. Secures the towel onto his front.* ...Zoo. ZUSERK: *He's reaching more for Joel than for the towel. That is the thing that makes sense right now.* joel. JOEL: *frames his face with part of the fluffy towel* Im sorry. ZUSERK: am also. JOEL: Stupid stuff happens sometimes. But. *nuzzles at his forehead* I love you. ZUSERK: ... *Oh. This. This is a little different than just giving love, the whole... receiving it, thing. That freezes him up for a good several seconds to process. He almost wants to ask Joel to clarify, but that seems like it might be inappropriate. He doesn't know what to say to that, except for the obvious.* ZUSERK: love you. ZUSERK: love you also. JOEL: Yeah? *pressing soft kisses to him now* Even if I end up screwing up under the best of circumstances? *kiss kiss* Lemme say... these were some damn great circumstances. *tinier kiss* ZUSERK: *Well, it's hard not to try to draw him closer with all those kisses happening; looks like Joel didn't need to ask to be held.* ZUSERK: don believe. is over ye. JOEL: Nah Im looking forward to a potential rub down also. Reflectin with some astonishment that this happened at all. Holy shit. ZUSERK: can do this also. ZUSERK: possibilities. endless. JOEL: Golly. Youre better than I deserve sometimes. *snuggles against his chest. He can't help it. The guilty feelings still linger but. He still had Zuserk. They could work through it.* ZUSERK: always. deserve better. *What he likes about human heads is how easy they are to nuzzle. No horns to worry about jostling.* JOEL: *And Joel's head was made with extra floof for maximum nuzzle.* Dammit... you drive me fucking crazy. ZUSERK: is goo? ZUSERK: ... hnn. JOEL: *kisses at his chin now* Its the best thing thats ever happened to me. ZUSERK: *Oh. That is. A little more than he was expecting. A lot more. He doesn't even know what to say to that one. Some things just seem not to have appropriate responses. Maybe if he holds Joel a little tighter, he will understand.* JOEL: Also its goo. *buries himself in a four armed hug, smiling against his chest the whole time* ZUSERK: nnnnnnn... ZUSERK: hnhnhn. JOEL: (Fuck youre laughing.) ZUSERK: *IT'S NOT HIS FAULT, HE'S HAPPY.* ZUSERK: *Except now that Joel pointed it out, he's laughing more. Whoops.* JOEL: (Oh my godddddd.) ZUSERK: *Just. Buries his face in the hair. More muffled laughter.* JOEL: *Well his shit is officially lost. Tears might prickle his eyes but theyre the HAPPIEST kind imaginable, Joel can't really compare it to anything he's experienced before. After that brief episode of stupid, Joel felt so whole in this one moment right after.* JOEL: Think Im ready for that casnugglin session now. ZUSERK: *He's getting a standing snuggle, at any rate. The laughter eventually ebbs.* yes. *Nods into the damp fluff.* now. JOEL: Take me. *tugs at him. Carry him.* ZUSERK: ... ! *Yes! He loosens his hold so he can lean carefully, shift around and scoop Joel up at the back of the thighs and the back of the knees simultaneously, slow and delicate.* is alrigh? JOEL: Is goo. *grins like a shit. He's never letting this go.* ZUSERK: nnnn... ZUSERK: goo. ZUSERK: *kisses Joel's soft, warm cheek, and then he's carrying him right back into the room, holding him just over the bed. If Joel doesn't have the towel still, he sure doesn't. He's just as careful setting him down as he was picking him up, but he doesn't exactly pull away.* JOEL: *good because Joel is tugging him downward, big old grin still on his face as he squeezes him* You ever feel cold? ZUSERK: yes. JOEL: How bad of an idea would it be if I warmed you up. ZUSERK: ... no ba. ZUSERK: even say. goo. JOEL: Aight. Hammock time. *starts crawling that way* ZUSERK: ! ZUSERK: yess. JOEL: Get your ass up here. *There are weighted blankets and pillows. Yesss is a good reaction to have.* ZUSERK: yes. ZUSERK: *He's coming, easy. Crawling is no object here with this many limbs.* JOEL: *gets the scuttling bug all cozy in the hammock with him. It'll get warm in no time, just watch.* ZUSERK: *He can anticipate that, especially with a lack of barriers between him and... everything he's about to touch. It's definitely not often that he does this, either, unless he's with Joel. All of these things are beginning to feel increasingly significant, now that he has the experiences to understand them. Maybe he will considering sleeping this time, but mostly, he just wants to feel this, because something about it never gets old. So he presses in close to the warmest body he knows, fitting his arms around him, because it's becoming more difficult not to feel like they belong there.* JOEL: *Does Zuserk like neck massages? Joel is working some gentle fingers into the back of his neck, down into his shoulders, and back again. The longer the quiet, the better he could appreciate how well these moments worked for them. No words, just Joel and Zuserk having each other.* ZUSERK: *Oh-- shit. He definitely does right now, if the inevitable quiet bug noises aren't indicative of that. He kind of wants to return the favor, so his own fingers move into gentle-pressed circles against Joel's back as he holds him. Who says they can't both get rubs?? Not him.* JOEL: *sighs and will himself to relax as well.* We wanna go back to where we belong... it isnt quite where we came from... its somewhere between the truth in the night... JOEL: Were nothing short but it feels right... feels right. ZUSERK: *He quiets his own sounds just to listen to Joel sing, to hear the beautiful sound and let it fill him up the same way Joel is so full from it that he can't help but let it out, and it's a wonderful feeling, unlike anything else. It's just what being with Joel is like.* JOEL: *Eventually the words die down to hums alone, Joel just kissing at the curl of his horns. Content with his steady massages until finally... he starts to doze off.* ZUSERK: *He doesn't stop touching still, for a time, able to keep it up pretty easily, and maybe he isn't thinking so much about whether or not Joel is asleep. Rather, he's thinking about the taste of his lips, and he's trying to etch the feeling into his brain to keep.*

DOVE: *She's gone from struggling to clinging, and she's actually sort of walk-rolling almost halfway normal by the time they get out of earshot of everyone else. At this point, though, there are hot tears rolling down her face, and she's starting to feel that ache in her fist.* JOEL: *He figured as much but Joel isn't going to say anything. He's got a job to do and it's to be here for Dove, regardless of the shit she thrashed out on his shins. Sure it's damn hard to walk without a limp but for her, he's going to suck it up. It's all one long awkward stumble to... his room? Her room? He's thinking his room might be best. They're heading that way.* DOVE: *It's definitely better, because she doesn't want to deal with herself right now either, especially not alone. Not that she feels great about doing this to him, either. She feels like a shit, actually, but she can't let go of him. She can't seem to stop crying to tell him that yet, either.* JOEL: *He holds onto her long after they make it past his door, just standing there as she lets it out. Hugging her and rubbing her back.* ...I got you. Its okay. *murmurs, all in comforting repetition.* DOVE: *That, at least, helps her feel like she can sort her thoughts into something cohesive, even if she doesn't let go.* DOVE: im-- im sorry DOVE: i wasnt DOVE: tryna hurt you JOEL: Yeah I know it chickadee. I aint even thinking twice about it. *gentle squeeze* DOVE: w-- why is this DOVE: such DOVE: fukkin shit JOEL: Aw baby birdy. Its cuz shit is what it is. No fairness in it at all. *rearing back a little to peer down at her hand* ...Cmon. Lemme see. DOVE: *She's still hiccuping, trying to reel these shitty ass tears back in, and she only flinches a little at first before letting him take her hand.* DOVE: ... stupid DOVE: all DOVE: of this DOVE: is just so fukkin stupid JOEL: You wont see me judging you. *gingerly takes her hand between his, hoping to smooth out the ache* DOVE: im DOVE: sorry for bein such a dick to you DOVE: *this probably isn't the time to be thinking about that, but she is anyway.* JOEL: Im a dick all the time. You still love me anyway. DOVE: yeah *a croak.* JOEL: So it works the same way here. *brushing the hair out of her face* DOVE: *It's becoming more obvious now to her consciousness that she was, in fact, crying, that it's all a mess on her face, and she's just. Frowning so much about it.* cant believe this shit JOEL: ... *His best bet would be just to listen right now.* You wanna sit down? JOEL: *gestures at the bean bag pile* DOVE: yea DOVE: can u get me like DOVE: a fuckin decade of toilet paper or somethin DOVE: that aint even a mesurement DOVE: fuk JOEL: A dadton of toiilet paper. Gotcha. DOVE: thank DOVE: *She's just a little bit shaky, maybe from the adrenaline leaving her system, but she does sit with a nice crunchy squish.* JOEL: *helps maneuver her towards the pile before flash- just kidding. Regular hobbling for the bathroom. He will come back with actually one towel, a bottle of water, and a baggie of ice.* JOEL: Have at it. *gives her the towel. There will be more where that came from.* DOVE: *UGH she made him HOBBLE. She fucking SUCKS. She takes the towel and the water but shoves the ice back at him.* DOVE: put that shit on your legs JOEL: What the fuck no. JOEL: Ill get Zoos to bandage me up later or something. JOEL: Swoonce me to the infirmary. DOVE: dude DOVE: i punched 1 face DOVE: just take the ice DOVE: *buries her face in towel* JOEL: ...Fine. *ices his leggies* DOVE: *muffled* fanff u JOEL: *exhales, letting the cold seep into his skin. He even rolled up his pant legs and everything.* ...Some fucking night. DOVE: *obnoxiously blows nose into towel before lifting her face up a little* yea DOVE: ... DOVE: *just frowning into space* JOEL: *just sits there in the same silence as her, casting side glances* DOVE: ... DOVE: i feel like im the only one that gave a shit DOVE: still DOVE: fukkin gives a shit DOVE: bcuz im dum DOVE: this was just 1 lifetime of big fukkin mistake DOVE: and i cant DOVE: just DOVE: get over it DOVE: *buries face in towel again* JOEL: *sets a hand on her shoulder. No, check that. He slides his whole arm around her.* Just... JOEL: Tell me what happened. JOEL: From the start. DOVE: the start like my years of dumb pinin or the start of this actual shitfest DOVE: just kiddin i no wat u ment DOVE: fuck DOVE: i dont kno DOVE: i just got DOVE: scared n she wanted to do stuff all the time DOVE: n she got sick of it DOVE: of me not DOVE: doin anythin JOEL: *There's no way he can blame her for the fear. In fact, it was the same kind of fear he thought about... with Zuserk... at first. But no. All he does is listen, his expression furrowed. Hugging her close.* DOVE: then i guess she went an DOVE: ugh! DOVE: i fukkin DOVE: *damn it. the tears are stinging at her eyes again.* i want to kick his ass so goddam bad JOEL: Same fucking here. *grumbles.* But thats... not gonna help nothing. DOVE: i know DOVE: *she sniffs.* DOVE: i just DOVE: i cant DOVE: make sense of it JOEL: Maybe she just. JOEL: Wasnt who you thought she was. DOVE: none of this is DOVE: i guess thats just the only fukkin thing i get outta this DOVE: surprise everything u thought was wrong JOEL: Thats not really for anybody to say except Ananya. DOVE: i dont know if i even wanna know DOVE: i just DOVE: want alla this to stop JOEL: *Christ they havent even been dating that long... He's kind of thinking about this. A lot. THIS MUCH HAPPENED IN THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. Wheeze. Oh yeah, Dove is talking.* JOEL: ...The way I see it. JOEL: She doesnt deserve you tryin to understand. DOVE: why JOEL: Cuz no matter which way you slice it. The blame or whatever. JOEL: She got herself into that mess. JOEL: Confusion aint an excuse. You dont just. JOEL: Accidentally pull that shit. JOEL: She wanted to put herself there. You let her get herself out. DOVE: *The words resonate a little, but they also ache in a way she doesn't really want to consider. She isn't sure what to think right now.* DOVE: i dont know JOEL: I just think. Youre allowed to feel as fucked over as you do. Okay? JOEL: Nothing justifies disrespecting your feelings for her. JOEL: Like. You. JOEL: As a person. Her friend. JOEL: What the fuck? JOEL: Its fucked up Dove. DOVE: *she's just quiet at that.* DOVE: *staring at the towel.* JOEL: It pisses me off personally. I knew she had issues but... JOEL: Jesus Christ. JOEL: Its just not fair. DOVE: *there's a part of her that wants to argue with him, but she can't bring herself to. not right now. not when this still hurts so much. she looks over at him slowly.* JOEL: You loved her okay? You just... wanted to make her happy. JOEL: You never got the chance and it. Sucks. DOVE: *part of her wants to hear this, to hear him being on her side, and another part wants him to hush. she just reaches out and puts a hand on his arm.* JOEL: *reflexively covers her hand with his. Of course he was on her side. He just... didn't know what else to do.* JOEL: ...Im sorry about all of this Dove. DOVE: aint ur fault DOVE: but DOVE: ... thanks JOEL: *cuddles into her shoulder, nuzzling her with locks of fluffy white hair* Ilu. DOVE: *fuck. she snrks and also nuzzles into the fluff.* gross DOVE: ilu2 DOVE: fuzzybritches DOVE: *snickers* JOEL: Do not speak the name of fuzz in vain Dove. How many times we gotta say. DOVE: ima bite u DOVE: get some drool all up in ur hair JOEL: Mama Birdie knows what shes about. DOVE: make a nest DOVE: im puttin all my bbs in here JOEL: Ill keep them safe for you.

COLT: *this has reached a whole new level of petty and therefore unacceptable. he knows joel won't talk to him through text or call, so there's only one way to handle this... he's showing up at joel's door without letting anyone knowing that's where he went, knocking impatiently.*
JOEL: *He doesn't have to answer the door either. Joel is locked in his room, pretty much hiding from Rammie more than Colt. But he hears the knocking and sticks his head out of the window. Actually, physically climbing out onto the roof. The surrounding of Joel and Rammie's house is mostly greenhouse and with the humidity at an all time high, the windows are open. Bringing on a generous breeze.* Hey.
JOEL: Nobodys home dipstick.
COLT: *colt squinting (TM) as he looks around, before he steps back and traces to sound of joel's voice to the roof. * We need to talk.
JOEL: Whys that. *Doesn't move. If anything that would be convenient for Colt.*
COLT: Because this is gettin' out of hand.
JOEL: No shit it is. But hey.
JOEL: At least youre telling me this stuff to my face. And not lettin folks interfere for once.
COLT: *looks around. he can get up to the roof too... watch him. he just needs to get a good start... he's got enough adrenaline going he can pull a dumbass strider move and flash step off of a tree to launch him up onto the roof. naturally, he stumbles, but he manages to land looking moderately cool.*
COLT: I don't "let" people interfere... They can make the choice for themselves if they wanna get involved or not. *looms over him*
COLT: Can't really blame them... I know we're bein' obnoxious.
JOEL: Youre being fucking obnoxious. Im just responding. *squares himself up against Colt. Glaring.*
COLT: How? What am I doin'? *MAKES HIMSELF BIG. and he's only gotten much much bigger over the years.*
JOEL: Youre just??? *gestures wildly* Rubbing it in my face by now! FUCK.
JOEL: Yeah I KNOW you have nice happy family. I fucking KNOW you three are saints and aint never done anything wrong in your lives.
JOEL: Im just a little bit fed up with your perfect life achievements and MAYBE. Think you deserve to fuck off.
COLT: *he just... looks so tired.* When the hell did any of us claim to be perfect?
COLT: I'm sorry that I'm not completely goddamn miserable anymore. But just because I'm happy most of the time, that don't mean I can't mess up ever. I know I do. Just because I wanna live my life too instead of lettin' my short comings drag me down to that dark place again-- *shakes his head*
COLT: Joel.
COLT: I know that I hurt you.
COLT: I know you're perfectly entitled to hatin' me if you want to. But I don't... I don't understand why. Why wouldn't you wanna work somethin' out?
COLT: Why don't you just talk to me?
JOEL: *Where Colt looks tired, Joel continues to fume. Practically snarling.* Why wouldnt I?? When the shit have you acted like you deserve for me to forgive you. You dont.
JOEL: You went and cherry picked who you still wanted around and now you gotta fucking deal with it. Deal with *me* because unlike EVERYBODY FUCKING ELSE. They left you when the going got too tough.
JOEL: I would never.
JOEL: EVER.
JOEL: Have let you feel like you left me. I wouldnt have let ANYBODY put me in that position. Not Mithun not Zuserk not Rammie. But you left me to shit. Thats what you DID Colt.
COLT: *he fists clench and it feels hard to breathe with the thickness in the air. naturally, his eyes start to water with frustrated tears as he steadily boiling blood causes him to snap back.* I've always wanted you around! I never stopped wantin' you around!! I've been tryin' to include you in my life, but you decided for me whether or not I should. You act like I abandoned you...
COLT: But you never let me make any mistakes! Don't pretend like "loyalty" trumps everythin' else. You think bein' stoicly present despite all odds is the same as havin' a fuckin' relationship with somebody. Well, it's NOT. You shut me out long before Little and Finn went away back on Avalon.
COLT: I had a crisis back on GG's island... And then when I married Little I made a choice. And instead of talkin' me through it like they do when the goin' *actually* gets tough, you abandoned ME. You damned ME for being a FUCKIN' person.
COLT: I've never judged you in my life, Joel! I've loved you and supported you and I tried to take some of that weight you're always carryin' around but you never let me! You never let anybody but-- Goddammit, if it had been anyone why couldn't it have been me?
JOEL: Because I TRUSTED YOU. And you threw me under the fucking BUS. FUCK. *throws his arms up, having had enough of this thickness in the air. The hard of breathing and his own echoing hurt. Joel preforms a perfect backflip off the roof and lands in the gravel below. He starts to stomp for the yard.*
COLT: Don't you-- Come back here! *GREAT. he is NOT /that/ nimble... he has to clunkily descend by climbing down if he hopes to catch up to joel.*
COLT: I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU.
JOEL: *Nope. They're taking this shit outside. And it's true the air had gotten thicker. Joel had to blame it on the overgrowth and the ever changing weather. He breaks a sweat as he storms the whole way to the yard.*
JOEL: You broke my trust ONCE COLT. Why the FUCK would I wait around and wait for you to break it again???
COLT: *FOLLOWS when he finally gets to the ground.* Is that how it works now? You disown your family on account of one mistake?
COLT: Don't pretend like this is about trust! You're just fishin' for excuses to keep people out.
JOEL: So what??????? I will be-- UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *looks about ready to tear his hair out. The tears crawling straight out of his eyes as terror grips him.* I WILL BE FUCKING DAMNED IF YOU LEAVE ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS MY FAULT.
COLT: I DON'T think it's your fault! That's not what I'm tryin' to say...!
COLT: It ain't a matter of FAULT.
COLT: I know... I know you're just scared and hurtin' but I... I can't keep followin' at your heels tryin' to break down your walls. Dammit-- *runs a hand over his face and through his hair watching joel come apart like that, his own tears springing anew.*
COLT: I still have a life of my own... That don't mean I don't want you a part of it. I just... I don't know how to reach you. If you still want me in your life, you gotta meet me halfway sometimes. I can't read your mind, I can't--
COLT: I never wanted things to escalate like this. I just don't know what to do, Joel. Please... Let me fix this. Let me make up for it. Anything.
COLT: I'm beggin' you. *his voice cracks with desperation, feeling like he's officially at the end of his rope here. he doesn't want to lose his brother, but he feels so powerless. the atmosphere is suffocatingly tense... did it get darker out, too? even with a breeze picking up, a blanket of dread is snuffing out any hope for relief.*
JOEL: *His instincts are screaming for him to run. He hears what Colt said but it's the very opposite of what his mind is twisting the truth around to be. He says it's not a matter of fault but how the fuck did he know that? It might as well be and in this exact moment as the night seems to close in around Joel, every doubt and icy fear is surging up at him all at once. Choking him where he stood as Joe
JOEL: l practically fought for breath. It was happening again. These last three years were empty, void of any meaning and it was ALL HIS FAULT.*
JOEL: *And just like that, the ringing in his ears turn into snarls. The sounds seem to come from the woods, inside, all around. Joel feels his vision swim as he breathes too much of this thick, humidified air. It's a whim when he wills the choked feeling in his lungs to CHARGE with something. Something, anything, that will break this barrier around himself. His life.*
JOEL: *It's an act of the very same violence Joel was holding to himself when he turns on Colt. Lunging by some force of will that wasn't entirely his own. With great protruding fangs that seek to tear into any bit of Colt's flesh this fever-crazed Joel could reach, neither of them will even have time to notice the green colored taint of the mist around them.*
COLT: *there's no time to notice anything, or react. not that he would even think to. he knew joel could be violent and impulsive, but nothing could prepare him for the absolutely primal look in joel's eyes as he comes crashing over colt, knocking him to the ground with a powerful thud.*
COLT: *the sudden shock reverberating through his whole body, however, is dwarfed in comparison to the sharp, ripping pain where his neck meets his shoulder, only barely missing a very crucial vein. for a moment, all thoughts and instincts surrender to the feeling and he can only scream out in agony.*
COLT: *and then it gives way to something else, as if the pain is fueling him; it's not quite like an adrenaline rush, if anything, he has more clarity to deliberately grasp at joel's face and shoulder with digging nails... claws? to wrench him off, in spite of the way it hurts.*
JOEL: *The taste of blood has him pulling away faster than anything. Colt's terrified scream and the force it takes for him to shove him off has him recoiling. Joel's whole world is spiralling fast, his senses pressing down on him all at once. The sight, scents, sounds, tastes...*
JOEL: *He barrel rolls through the dirt, eyes blown by some feverish high as he springs to his feet just as quickly. His thoughts are too incoherent for him to try to make sense of his own survival instinct. But it's enough. In an instant, Joel is flashstepping off. Bolting for the woods in a hard run. Gone.*
COLT: *joel's gone, and colt is sitting to catch his breath and clutching at the wound in his shoulder, the hot flow of blood seeping past the gaps in his fingers. it'd be stupid to try to drive himself to the hospital, but he's doing that anyway. nothing is clear right now. and as far as he can tell in this rush of confusion, none of this even happened. it couldn't have.*

JACE: -the past few days have been full of some intense introspection, mixed with all manner of emotion, and some that aren't even his own. he knows what he wants to do, but he can't just do it. he needs to tell people. he needs to quit keeping secrets.- JACE: -it's a little late when he emerges from his room and he'd prefer not to bother his parents right *now* but they weren't the first person on his mind anyway. he starts his search for joel, who... he's fairly certain is still here. he hopes he is.- JOEL: *Definitely still here. Joel finds himself out in the patio, having a drink and sitting crosslegged on a deck chair cushion. He seems preoccupied talking to someone via text but is otherwise on his lonesome. Probably responding to Rammie's string of snapchats regarding her trip to Febrealia.* JOEL: *An ear angles back to Jace when he enters. That old concern starts gnawing on him again.* Hey. JACE: -aw geez... his heart starts racing as soon as he sees him. he wishes he were braver.- JACE: Hi. -steps over and takes a seat with him, probably too cautiously.- Um... JACE: I wanted to talk to you. JACE: Is that okay? Uh. Are you good to talk? -geez way to make it obvious he's a mess. not that it's a surprise to anybody.- JOEL: Im good to talk. *Joel would say he doesn't bite but that is the very opposite of true.* JOEL: ... JOEL: *gestures at another deck chair. Maybe the one at the opposite end.* JACE: -nods slowly and plops down in the chair. for a second, he just wringes his hands, posture anything but relaxed as he leans over his legs.- JACE: I... JACE: Well, I mean... JACE: -exhales, shoulders sagging.- You probably already know why I was in the forest that night. JOEL: *slowly puts his phone away to give Jace his undivided attention.* No. I dont why you were in the forest. JACE: -alright, he's PRETTY sure he's just trying to get jace to be straight forward which... is fair. and he wants to be. for another second he avoids eye contact, heat rising to his head quickly.- JACE: I was following Kougah. I wanted to check on him after what happened at the town meeting. JACE: Because... Because Ive still been hanging out with him. A... A lot. JACE: And-- And I was worried. About him. -eyes start to prickle with tears already. why does he have to be like this??- JOEL: *He hears all this and swallows against an ugly amount of bile rising up as he makes connections.* You still been hanging out with him. /A lot./ *echoes the words so Jace can hear them too. As well as how disbelieving Joel is that they're real.* JOEL: *but now he's swearing under his breath, unable to keep a cap on the hiss in his voice.* ...God. JOEL: Just... *Is there even words for this? Joel can't seem to grasp the concept.* What... the hell is wrong with you?? JACE: -shrinks into himself, the bite of joel's words resounding in his head, somehow managing to overpower even the thud of his heartbeat in his ears. it's a good question, really, but he knows he can't let himself be bowled over. swallowing the tightness in his throat, he squares his shoulders in prepartion for more verbal strikes.- JACE: When you told me what you did... I was angry... And I wanted to understand. I didnt... I didnt get it, because he-- JACE: He saved me. JACE: I started coming to Avalon when I heard about the missing people... And the spiritual activity. I wanted to study it... Because I wanted to help. But I didnt know what I was getting into and... I might have died if he hadnt shown up. -eyes flood with fresh tears again remembering it. it makes everything that happened that much more painful.- JACE: So, I... I wanted to confront him. About why. And how. He could do that. And I told him-- How much Rammie meant to our family. And to me. And I told him to make things right. And he said he would, because-- Because how I felt mattered to him. -ducks his head, choking a little on the tears now.- JACE: I thought that maybe things could get better. That we could work something out because... He-- I cant... I cant explain it. I guess it doesnt matter. Its no excuse. JACE: I just... didnt feel so lonely anymore. JACE: ... Im sorry. JOEL: *Rage is flooring past any amount of sympathy or understanding Joel might have had for Jace. It's fueled by the gut-wrenching fear and the heartbreak of knowing there wasn't a damn thing Joel could do about any of this. Joel stands with such a vicious snarl.* YOU COULD HAVE DIED IF YOU STAYED WITH HIM. DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT??? JOEL: And you... YOURE the one worried about HIM??? HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT JACE???? JOEL: It only took ONE FUCKING MISTAKE AND RAMMIE SHE JUST... He FUCKING LEFT HER IN THAT FOREST JACE. HE WOULD HAVE LEFT HER THERE AND WE WOULD HAVE NEVER FOUND HER. JOEL: So Im asking again WHAT THE *FUCK* IS WRONG WITH YOU??? YOU SAY YOURE HELPING PEOPLE??? YOU JUST ADMITTED IT! JOEL: YOURE JUST HELPING YOUR OWN GODDAMN FUCKING *SELF*. JOEL: WHY WOULD YOU THINK ANYONE WHO GIVES AN ACTUAL SHIT ABOUT YOU WOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT?????? JACE: -drags his hands over his hair and through his hair, trying with all his might to stand tall and take it, but he just can't, eventually crumbling into desperate sobs. he doesn't know what's wrong with him, and suddenly he's unsure all over again what he should do.- JACE: -did he really want to go back to help, or was there some fucked up selfish ulterior motive he couldn't quite identify? images of the dead pack of wolves and what may become of avalon flood his thoughts, followed by a rush of rage and grief and uncontrollable helplessness and it takes all his power to keep him planted in this seat instead of finding something to drive his fists into. instead, he j JACE: ust digs his nails into his scalp and mutter under his breath.- JACE: I dont-- I dont know...... JOEL: Well you better fucking know. *growls, the sound very real in the way Joel grits his teeth. Trying not to give into the ill feeling he feels in the deepest part of his stomach.* Because youre thinking of going back there. And trying to fix a goddamn PROBLEM that was never yours to begin with. JOEL: You just??? SOMEHOW made this your problem. And I wont say somehow. You know exactly what youre doing. JACE: Thats not... -not true, he wants to say, but it pitters off meekly as he completely loses sight of what even is true. he doesn't know why he listened to anybody who supported him. the reality is that he's a selfish idiot, so desperate he'll forgive anything just to grasp at a little bit of happiness, and that complacency makes him an apologist of unforgivable things. that makes him no better than JACE: a murderer. maybe in some sick way, that's why they deserved each other.- JACE: I wont go. JOEL: *He exhales sharply, feeling like his chest was being cleaved in two. The wound seeps with pain, invisible but very very fresh. Joel would clutch at it if he only could.* I hope so. I dont... *falters, his guard wavering* JOEL: I dont know what else to do with this. JACE: -keeps his voice quiet and his head lowered.- Theres nothing else to do. Theres nothing... JACE: Theres... *nothing.* -hiccups, kick starting yet another series of sobs.- JOEL: *Everything hurts and nothing is okay. But Joel keeps pressing on, draggig his hand down his face. As long as it helps steer off the waterworks.* Theres not nothing Jace. Dont you see that? JOEL: Theres still You. JOEL: And damn if Im gonna let you believe thats not good enough. JOEL: Whatever else happens... you did try. JOEL: And it fucking counts okay? I dont care what anyone else does or says. JOEL: You just... JOEL: Cant fix something like this. Or someone like him. JACE: -it's hard to swallow any kind of reassurance after being repeatedly questioned about what's wrong with him. so what if he has himself when he's awful? so what if he tried when he did it for selfish reasons? he gets the feeling he's just being talked down so he'll stop crying, and the idea leaves him hollow enough that sobs dissolve into sniffles and he can start to wipe away tears without more re JACE: placing them. he just nods slowly.- JACE: Okay... JOEL: *he's quiet a moment, grappling with the physical desire to reach out to his brother. But it feels like such a dangerous thing. Like they could both hurt each other more than they already had.* Im... JOEL: Really sorry. JOEL: *Joel doesn't suspect there's more to say after that. With a trot down the patio steps, he's gone down the beach. Taking off into the stretch of night.* JACE: -there's another long moment where jace sits alone, blotting out everything till he's only left with a buzz of white noise in his head. and only after his thoughts are disturbingly clear does he get back up to go to his room. nothing left to do now but sleep.-

AURYHN: *there's nothing quite like the bracing cold, biting at his features, keeping him alert for anything... anyone... that might leap out and strike. he's skirting just around the edge of the forest, quiver in hand, taking measured steps to avoid the crunch of leaves as best he can. there's a deer deeper in the woods... and he's going to make it his prey.*
JOEL: *As profound as the hunter's skill might have been, the deer ends up living to see another day. Somewhere above the trees, a synchronized sound of an engine can be heard. The past day or so of Joel's had been dedicated to finding Finn. Hell, he knew his dad was taking care of it and left up to him... it'll be taken care off. But the reassurance wasn't enough to sooth his nerves. Kicking off on his hoverboard, Joel takes to scouting the area. Closer to the mountain and further from town than he had noticed but it was hard not to get caught up in his thoughts. Cold air whips at his cheeks and he wonders whether he should turn around...*
AURYHN: *THE DEER FLEES, and a rancorous curse can be heard echoing through the vast, open wilderness...*~}==>
AURYHN: FIDDLESTI% ~}==>
JOEL: *Joel definitely heard SOMETHING and swirves sharply in the air, trying to pinpoint it. Suddenly, to Aurhyn's ears, the sound goes silent. It's very apparent that he is being watched.*
JOEL: *At least until Joel is dropping down from a tree not too far off.*
AURYHN: *you are doing him a frighten, mysterious stranger. the bow is drawn, pointed warily in joel's direction. he refrains from letting his arrow soar when he sees it's ONLY a human...* Who goes there?~}==>
JOEL: *squints at the other guy, straightening up slowly. What WERE those clothes? With all the freaky shit that happened on Avalon, Joel wouldn't be surprised if he stepped in another time period or some shit.* ...Nobody.
JOEL: Sorry man. Thought you were someone else.
AURYHN: *lowers the bow, but only SLIGHTLY.* Hmm... A harmless mist8ke ~}==>
AURYHN: *he SAYS that, but he sounds kind of annoyed.* Unfortunately, you also scared away my game ~}==>
JOEL: *gaze flickers to the bow for a moment* Fair enough. Ill apologize no worries.
JOEL: Gotta ask tho seein as youre familiar with the area.
JOEL: You seen any humans? A guy? Brown hair wears sweaters has a backpack.
AURYHN: I have not seen your missing compartriot, I'm afraid ~}==>
AURYHN: But if you require assistance in tracking him, I may gladly offer my e%pedient services ~}==>
JOEL: *There was something about the way this guy talked... Joel jumps down from the root he was balanced on. Eyebrows knitted.* Nah. Its cool.
JOEL: Pretty far from fuckin town as it is. I doubt he made it this far on foot.
AURYHN: Ah, but of course... He is only human, after all ~}==>
AURYHN: *whoop there it is...* ~}==>
JOEL: *gives him this plain look like PLS.* I seen humans accomplish more with one foot than some trolls with two.
AURYHN: *squints at him...* Then I offer my congratulations to these individuals, wherever they may be ~}==>
AURYHN: *he finally lowers his bow with a small scoff. mister human, you present yourself in such haughty manner, but you do not impress ME.* I must insist, however, if a member or friend of this community has disappeared, I am to assist in some way ~}==>
JOEL: Thats awful generous. *Well he can't say NO exactly. He's not that proud when it comes to this shit. Strides over to show this stranger a picture of Finn. It's probably a very generic pearl pose tbh.* This is him. Hes been missing a day camping.
AURYHN: *accepts the picture and inspects it closely with him big old eyes.* He's quite a photogenic fellow ~}==>
AURYHN: I will commit this face to memory ~}==>
JOEL: Alright cool. Youre doin your community a service.
AURYHN: Yes... Yes I am ~}==>
AURYHN: *he's so proud of himself* And fear not, this young man will be found ~}==>
JOEL: Yeah he will. *doubtfully by you, my bro. Joel is saying these thoughts and feelings loud and clear. Hopefully this troll isn't an empath.*
JOEL: Names Joel.
AURYHN: *he isn't... luckily...* A pleasure, Joel ~}==>
AURYHN: I am Auryhn ~}==>
AURYHN: Auryhn Serket ~}==>
AURYHN: *offers a hand to shake* ~}==>
JOEL: *takes this hand and shakes it firmly. Serket...*
JOEL: Strider.
AURYHN: *kill bill sirens. obviously he knows who the STRIDERS are.* ... Strider ~}==>
AURYHN: That name is familiar to me... ~}==>
JOEL: Yeah sos Serket. *Not that he's making a huge fucking deal, unlike some people. Has Auryhn dropped his hand yet.* All the big names follow up the war.
AURYHN: *he's dropped it somewhere around the time his last name was spoken.* It is only natural ~}==>
AURYHN: And my forebear made certain that their story was told as it rightfully should have been. Not muddied by propoganda or other such atrocities ~}==>
JOEL: Yeah. Thats the word. *As far as he knows. Nobody really talks about Aranea much where he's from... As a matter of fact, Joel makes it a point to look around the grim cold dark forest.* You live around here?
AURYHN: No, not here. My hive resides in the mountains ~}==>
AURYHN: *dramatic splaying of fingers in that vague direction.* But I find myself cavorting with my fellow trolls here on the earth from time to time... And it is quite beautiful here all year round ~}==>
AURYHN: Though, my preferences remain with the ice and snow ~}==>
JOEL: *watches the dramatic splay of fingers. Gdi... he was unironic about this, wasn't he. Joel couldn't even bring himself to be mad. Which reminds him.* Sorry about making you miss your din.
AURYHN: *squints slightly... he sounds sincere. what a wishy washy fellow. or perhaps, an appropriate change of heart.* Worry not, Mister Strider ~}==>
AURYHN: My next meal will come easily, I assure you ~}==>
JOEL: I figured. *scritches at the fluff of bang peeking from his beanie* Didnt feel inclined to sweat it much.
JOEL: Call me Joel tho. Mister Strider is my father.
AURYHN: *oh. HAHA. this makes him laugh haughtily.* But of course ~}==>
AURYHN: Now then, Joel... I shant keep you from your quest ~}==>
AURYHN: Unless, of course, you would prefer companionship. As they say, two heads are better than one... I'm sure this is doubly so when one such head belongs to a master tracker ~}==>
AURYHN: *he's a master now, apparently. suddenly he is the Strider, of the ranger variety.* ~}==>
JOEL: *Gazes at him like. Trying to get a gauge on this guy. He didnt... seem dangerous. He also didn't seem very calculated what with the uh. Hm.* One such head is holding quite the resume.
JOEL: Hunter. Tracker. All around snowy mountain man.
JOEL: Must be dangerous living up here.
AURYHN: *what with the WH8T???????? he seems to shimmer at these words, however.* Joel, tell me... Have you ever gone toe to toe with an abominable snowman? ~}==>
JOEL: ...No. Cant say I have.
JOEL: But my dads told me about them.
JOEL: He said they were sweet.
AURYHN: Sweet? H8H! I beg to differ ~}==>
AURYHN: They are mighty adversaries! But one must do... what one must do to survive... ~}==>
JOEL: *scratches his chin as if considering* I feel that. Same dad told me about this island he lived on for a long time. Like stranded basically. It was full of all kinds of freaky and terrible fauna.
JOEL: He talked about like giant centaurs and sea goats. Dragons. Hugass fucking spiders and crab monsters.
JOEL: Shit was insane.
AURYHN: *almost seems to pale at the mention of HUGEASS FUCKING SPIDERS. /PLURAL./* Egads ~}==>
AURYHN: *realizes that maybe joel is saying this to undermine his own experiences, in particular if this father of his is the same man who made friendly with YETIS... and he's squinting again.* I would very much like to meet this father of yours ~}==>
AURYHN: It sounds as though he has many an exciting yarn to spin ~}==>
JOEL: Eh maybe you will. Just look up the name English. He's almost right at the top.
AURYHN: Ah, yes... Then I will be sure to next time I find myself in your neighborhood ~}==>
AURYHN: Which shall be soon ~}==>
AURYHN: And subsequent visits will be just as frequent ~}==>
JOEL: Yeah. If you keep that picture with you and contribute like you say you are. *takes the hoverboard out of his sylladex, preparing for take off* You have a pester client? Ill add you right now.
AURYHN: *??? oh, he means TROLLIAN, obviously...* Certainly ~}==>
AURYHN: I am aurulentHuntsman ~}==>
JOEL: Done. *adds him* Ill bug you later.
JOEL: Mines estrapadingTrueblue.
AURYHN: Until then, sir ~}==>
AURYHN: *steps back to bow DEEPLY.* ~}==>
JOEL: *Pauses while hovering, wondering how necessary a DEEP BOW to him was. And why he suddenly felt warm in the collar. Wtf.*
JOEL: Cool.
AURYHN: Farewell, Joel Strider *readies his bow again, turning away to return to the HUNT. hopefully his arrow doesn't find finn.* ~}==>
JOEL: *Nah. By the time Joel gets the message that Finn is found, he's already halfway back to town. Whoops.*
AURYHN: *fiddlesti%... he wanted to find him.* ~}==>

SIMULA: *they had been hiding in the morgue for... about two hours now. nobody went in there, so it was a good place to be alone, and they couldn't have gone to their room lest they look like they were trying to follow emilet. but with this much time passing now, they could probably safely return to their own room without much fuss. hopefully no one will notice that their face is a little red and puffy.*
JOEL: *Asking to return to their room without a fuss was really asking too much. Where did they think they lived again? Joel is out in the hall giving Lei Lei a chance to stretch her legs. In fact, she's looking a little bigger than she was last time. Joel sits up against a wall, dragging a stuffed mouse on a string over the tile for her to chase. He glances as Simula rounds the corner, absolutely notic
JOEL: ing how red and puffy their face looked. Jolts the mouse some more, Lei Lei scampering after it.* ...Some party.
SIMULA: *oh great. of ALL the people to run into... they cross their arms over their chest, shrugging a shoulder.* It was a part-y al-right.
JOEL: Youre welcome btw. *impassively scoots the mouse along* If by chance youre still celebratin.
SIMULA: *crosses arms a little tigher, even though their ribs still hurt.* What is that sup-posed to mean?
JOEL: *circle gestures vaguely at their face, their big disgrace.*
SIMULA: *frames their own face.* Yes. II would say that this face is cause for celebration. How impolite for me to not thank you join-ing me in this joy-ous e-vent soon-er.
JOEL: I mean. Its only appropriate. *looking on, unimpressed.* Again. Youre welcome.
SIMULA: ... *starts to circle around this cat. maybe they can just... leave.* Hell-o a-gain, Lei Lei.
JOEL: *Lei Lei's way of saying hi back is lashing her tail before scampering back to chase the mouse. Joel, however, isn't feeling nearly as friendly.* So.
JOEL: Youre not gonna say what youre up to? Been up to?
SIMULA: You did-n't ask.
SIMULA: Use your words, Joel. II can on-ly sur-mise so much from your judgemental stares.
JOEL: True. But it aint like anyone else is goin to do the honors.
SIMULA: *rolls eyes. not that he can tell, of course.* There is-n't much to say. You on-ly just saw me last night.
SIMULA: II spent the rest of the evening in my room. At some point II left the ship to buy some fried calamari. Then II came back to eat it and work on some cod-ing.
SIMULA: Then II stared at preserved bod-y parts in jars for two hours. And that brings us to now.
JOEL: *It's unassuming enough but no way is Joel satisfied. He rubs at his temple, just frowning.* Whats going on between you and Emilet.
SIMULA: *that definitely elicits a reaction. simula winces, and though joel certainly won't like the answer he's given, it isn't entirely dishonest. at least that's the way they see it.*
SIMULA: ... Noth-ing.
JOEL: *He wished it didn't make him so angry. At Emilet, Simula, himself. And it obviously does, given the flare of heat in his green eyes. It takes him a second to steady himself enough to talk again.* Had to ask. *mutters, jerking the mouse around.*
SIMULA: And why did you /have/ to ask? *all the emotions are still very raw. overwhelming and invasive, and of course joel just had to jab at them with his pointed words.*
JOEL: Cuz I aint gonna act like Im not picking up on shit. Even if you wanna do that. *scoffs and shakes his head.* Like I dont know you. Or Emilet. Yeah right.
SIMULA: So naturally, that makes it your business. *actually scowls a little, exposing pointy teeth.*
JOEL: *raises a hand to stop them right there* Up to a point. As far as Im concerned its as far as Im going.
JOEL: You know what the hell youre doing. Im not gonna stop you.
SIMULA: Great. It's a re-lief to know you're /on-ly/ involving your-self to the point of patronizing me.
JOEL: Like you dont get enough of doing that on your own. Doesnt matter who or when. *pulls a face at this sibling*
JOEL: Well hey. I can do that too.
SIMULA: Of course. But at least II don't pre-tend II'm do-ing it out of con-cern, rath-er than to satisfy my own inflated e-go. *sparks around the horns a little*
JOEL: Just another case of the kettle callin the teapot black. *undeterred by the sparks and in fact, stands up in opposition.* When the shit do you do ANYTHING out of concern. You dont. You just do fuckin you and dont care who the hell takes the fall. Just as long as you dont get to apologize for being a shitty... what? Friend? Family member??
JOEL: Whatever roles convenient I guess.
SIMULA: Thank you, as al-ways, for bring-ing fresh commentary to the thrill-ing sa-ga that is Simula Cap-tor's nev-er end-ing shit-show of an existance.
SIMULA: II wond-er what exactly you are try-ing to accomplish here by look-ing down at me such as you are, regarding whatever it is you think is happening be-tween Emilet and II.
SIMULA: Oh, look. My sib-ling looks dis-tressed. A prime opportunity to rub their misery in their face with a big fat implied "that's what you get for fuck-ing a-round with /him/ of all peo-ple."
SIMULA: Is that what you want, Joel? To get re-venge be-cause II'm such an unwanted, tox-ic addition to your life? May-be teach me a less-on in karm-ic retribution in case it wasn't al-ready so painfully obvious to me??
SIMULA: Is THAT IT? Well, you can quit wast-ing your time be-cause II'm al-ready at PEAK lev-els of MISERABLE ever-y unforgiving sec-ond of my worth-less, chron-ic pain rid-den life. And if you take is-sue with my fuck-ing pi-ty part-y then you should-n't have CRASH-ED it.
JOEL: *The frustration is bubbling over, as it often does with Joel when the emotions peak.* Holy shit would you stop feeling fucking sorry for yourself for one goddamn second??? I already said I dont give a single fuck what you do with Emilet and actually. I wont go near that disaster of an issue with a ten foot pole. Noping so hard out of that I aint even in the same orbit no more.
JOEL: Im talking about YOU being such a condescending shit I cant even talk to you without you treatin it like its an attack. Like you gotta beat me to the punch in criticism and then turn it into a sushi fuckwad of self deprecation. Cuz for some reason??? Thats the first conclusion you make when I try talking to you???
SIMULA: That's be-cause it's the ON-LY conclusion any-one with half a brain can fum-ble together. Just how far on-set is your de-nial?
SIMULA: But let us consider for a mom-ent that you weren't speak-ing to me with piss and vineager right off the bat. Since apparently that is all in my imagination.
SIMULA: Were you try-ing to in-vite me warm-ly in-to a familial rock talk a-bout my feel-ings? Be-cause you have an awfully interesting way of go-ing a-bout it.
JOEL: OH cuz you respond so fucking well to sincere admittance of giving a crap. Give me a goddamn break.
JOEL: You wont see ME putting myself out there waiting for you to shit on me. Like you ALWAYS fucking do so why beat around the bush????
SIMULA: *presses the heels of their palms to their temples, head thumping, but mostly from their own yelling. and they know full well it's their own fault, which makes it all the more frustrating, and all the more intense. tears start to form at the corners of their eyes, which they shut tight with a scowl.* II'm--!
SIMULA: II'm SOR-RY.
SIMULA: II... II should-n't-- Have come home.
JOEL: Nobodys said anything like that. *snaps back, none too patiently. He's not exactly the best with gentle understanding or delivery.* If you think youre perpetuating shit youre NOT. It was always shit and it was always bound to happen.
JOEL: Why the fuck does that mean you gotta stay away and pretend like the BAD STUFF matters more than the good????
SIMULA: Be-cause it-- It eclipses the good. When II... *brow creases and lip wibbles pathetically.*
SIMULA: May-be II did-n't change the course of any-thing, but II still... Wedged my-self in-to Emilet's af-fairs and now... Now e-ven he's up-set with me. *knits fingers into their hair.*
SIMULA: It's-- *sighs shakily* Disgusting. How hyperfocused II am on it.
JOEL: *crosses his arms with a sigh, shaking his head. At least he didnt look so confronting.* It was a precarious situation at best. Shitshow at its worst. Jesus. A literal fuckin feather could have been enough to push the whole thing over the edge.
JOEL: You really shouldnt blame yourself for that.
JOEL: And it aint like Emilets a bad guy??? Hes just. *huffs* A mess.
JOEL: Again. You cant blame yourself for that.
SIMULA: *the throbbing is relentless, but they've calmed down enough that the random fits of sparking have stopped.* He is... *pauses, dragging their sleeve across their face.*
SIMULA: ... *grumbles into their elbow.* Important. To me.
JOEL: *scuffs the tip of his shoe against the ground* Then... I dunno.
JOEL: Act like it.
JOEL: Put being there for him over... feeling sorry that you are. Thats not what he needs.
JOEL: I know you dont.
SIMULA: *lowers their arms so they can clutch at their sleeves, hugging themself loosely.* ... II sup-pose that would be... The logical thing to do.
JOEL: *This sibling is far too anime.* ...Good. *Joel dips his chin in a stiff nod and bends to pick up Lei Lei. Scratches her between the ears to give his awkward hands something to do.* Should probably get her back to the room. Shes looking hungry.
SIMULA: *glances down at the cat, if only to avoid further eye contact.* Yes. Of course.
SIMULA: II will... See you a-round then.
JOEL: Yep. Count on it. *and he's outtie. Fast as a flash.*
SIMULA: *continues to stand there for a moment longer than they kept track of, holding onto themself. they don't exactly feel good about that interaction, but at least they got sound advice out of it? there's still clearly things left unsaid, and one hell of a distance they need to cross.*
