006 ✽ Get Down

[giglio_madonna]

Who: As many people in Virgo HQ as Luce can grab
What: The best way to get to know new people is over breakfast, didn't you know?
When: A nice cheery morning a vague time in January after everyone's newbies have met their band
Where: The Flower Over Bones penthouse
Warnings: None planned! Feel free to treat this as a mingle log

The first month Luce arrived at Virgo HQ, she didn't waste any time before establishing some sort of lunch everyone could get together at. As January drags on, it's something she finds herself thinking about as new faces fill up the gaps where she had known others.

It's part of the reasons why, one early morning, she can be found bustling to all the other band penthouses to deliver a simple invitation she makes sure everyone gets to hear: a breakfast taking place in the FoB house for all Virgo musicians.

FoB penthouse looks like a lot of the other bands, with some clutter here and there that fits its inhabitants including a small dartboard with various articles about the members pinned there with shuriken. The television is playing what seems to be an early day sci-fi movie marathon and there's already a pretty impressive spread of pancakes, waffles, french toast, and various cut up fruit for people to dig into.

"My headache."

It's not really an answer even if it was part of it. He knew what was going on with his head, he could feel it. His only problem was that his hand was getting more active the longer he stopped concentrating on it. He needed to control it, needed to figure it out.

He needed his Cores.

"It makes me feel like I can hear what everyone's thinking."

What.

Johanna pauses for a second, then leans away from him, as if that'll help her if he can actually read minds. Then she scoffs, mostly at herself, for actually believing him. "What the fuck does that mean? Telepathy isn't a feeling, brainless."

"It might not be, but having other people's thoughts in your head makes it really crowded, which makes a headache."

Don't even start with him on that. He knows it sounds funny. He was suffering from it and still couldn't believe that it was what his body was doing. It was stupid and pointless and still, he couldn't just tune it out. Stupid humans and their stupid needs and their stupid petty lives surrounding those needs.

Give them a chance, humans can change!

Huh. She raises her eyebrows, then asks slowly, "by 'having people's thoughts in your head', do you mean that you can read my fucking mind or do you just have an overactive imagination?" Yeah, she's kind of being incredibly condescending, but this isn't something she wants to have to actually believe in.

"How the hell should I know?"

He just snorts, rolling his eyes and looking away. Something about her was not happy and there was a slight tinge of wanting to move away from him, but he was just a tiny guy in over-sized clothing. Was she that scared of having her mind read? Like that was something he did; all he could do is sense wants and needs.

"Right, of course, sorry for assuming you thought about what you were saying before you said it." Johanna lets out an aggrieved huff of breath, shaking her head. This, she thinks, is why she doesn't put effort into building relationships with other people. Because they're fucking infuriating.

"Awesome. Sorry for wasting your time." She doesn't sound apologetic in the least as she gets up from her seat.
