[SQUALO FOR GOD'S SAKE....

He'll pull out tissues and start wiping away the tears-- what a mom.]

You didn't ask her? What did you do? Just stuff her into a bag and drag her here?

[sharktrash]

[ ...fine he'll take his feet off the table and straighten up in his seat with a slight frown. ]

Uh, yeah. Pleasantries kinda slipped my mind I guess.

[ squalo just say no to drugs tbh ]

[blindfoldcode]

You could've asked! [Jesus Christ she lost ten years off her life.]

You really think this is gonna fly?! [She is going to be in so much trouble.]

[wounds]

Jin's not getting anywhere near you.

[He might get wrecked all over again, but it'd be worth it.]

[sharktrash]

Yeah, sorry. [ He doesn't sound sorry. ] I don't see why not, I've done this before.

[ Granted, last time he didn't bully over a musician from another Pride band. This could be different, so he rests his chin on his hand in thought. ]

I'm sure our manager can beat up your manager, so as long as I can convince him...

[blindfoldcode]

You're forgetting our CEO. [Very important factor.]

... You really think he can? [Genos couldn't. That went poorly.]

[wounds]

I'll fight her too.

[And then get wrecked.]

The managers are alike.

[He taps on his own chest.]

[sharktrash]

Calm down. [ puts a hand on Genos' shoulder, sit down please. ] He's decked me once, okay. That guy bench presses trucks, I'm sure he can bench press a fatso. [ So respectful. Also SOMEONE'S NOT UPDATED ON THE WHOLE MANAGERS BEING ROBOTS THING. ]

[ An annoyed sound. ] As for CEO... I'm sure me and Jecht are her favorites in this band so if anyone's got a chance at this, it's us. Unless you know someone better. [ shrug ]

[blindfoldcode]

[She gives Genos the darkest glare.] You aren't fighting anybody, I swear to god, I will shield them with my own body if you try to do something stupid like that again.

[... The look she gives Squalo is a little more hopeful? Tentatively. Confusingly. She loves her band, but--]

If you get me killed for this, I'll haunt you until the day you die.

[wounds]

[The glare was not very effective.]

Like hell anybody's hurting you.

[sharktrash]

[ Ugh fucking kids with their friendships and shit. He pinches the bridge of his nose for a moment, then yeah, he's switching to his LOUDER mode. ]

Nobody's fighting and nobody's getting hurt! I'll work it out. Just stay put and fucking chill for once.

[ Have a vague smirk back, Kido. ]

I can live with that.

[blindfoldcode]

[She shuts up immediately at louder mode. She does have one very important question.]

Why me anyway?

[wounds]

Squalo?

[sharktrash]

[ Because they needed a bassist. Because she's friends with Genos. Because everyone knows friends make the best music and support each other. Because she'd stopped coming over and because they were both hurt -- ]

[ He shrugs and leans back into the couch, putting his hands behind his head. ]

Well, you know. She was just right there and I had a cart.

[blindfoldcode]

[She rolls her eyes.]

And a fucking bag. Thanks for at least letting me breathe.

[wounds]

There has to be a better way to get new members.

[GOOD GRIEF.]

[sharktrash]

You're welcome.


Maybe next time you should try it before we nearly throw a stand-in out the window, then.

[ And that one's not only on him. "Piece Of Shit" Barry had managed to piss off Roy, too. ]

[blindfoldcode]

Wait, you what?

[sharktrash]

Nearly. He's fine. We got this piece of shit asshole sub for us at concerts. He trashtalked our style and "Elizabeth", among other things. If I never see him again it'll be too fucking soon.

[wounds]

He was awful.

[blindfoldcode]

He sounds like it. But don't throw a guy out a window.

[sharktrash]

[ CASUALLY SCRATCHES EAR. ]

You know, I'm pretty sure we'd get away with it. [ Because getting caught is the only thing wrong with THROWING A GUY OUT A WINDOW. ] But thanks to you, we won't have to.

[wounds]

Don't worry about it, Kido. We're not throwing anybody out any windows.

[For now.]

[blindfoldcode]

Just throwing bassists in bags and kidnapping them.

[sharktrash]

Yeah!

[ He almost sounds fucking chipper. ]
