idek, open to band

-- A

[ Squalo got his hands on a fire extinguisher. ]

[ Squalo decided it would be hilarious to fill all your shoes with the foam at fuck o clock in the morning. If you wake up to loud cackling coming from your closet, well. ]


-- B

[ After the small forced break at the beginning of the month, he's back to routinely making breakfast for everyone. Today it's omelettes with mushrooms and spinach and you'd better not have some ridiculous excuses like "I don't actually have a stomach" because you're gonna eat it AND LIKE IT. ]


-- C

[ Surprisingly enough, Squalo has been quieter than usual. Oh, he's still foghorn-loud when he actually talks, but he seems a bit less inclined to do it as much as he used to. He even looks... thoughtful at times, and he seems somewhat cold lately, not to mention reacting with open amusement to things like murder reports on the news. Maybe something is up. ]

[Squalo what the fuck are you doing in her room.

Especially knowing she can creep way better than you can. There isn't any fucking notice of Kido until she claps a hand on his shoulder, her concealment shattered enough so that he can see her. Her eyes are bright, glowing red.]

What the fuck are you doing in my closet at four in the goddamn morning?

[sharktrash]

[ Oh, you know, chaos and mayhem. Normally he achieves it through fighting, though, this penchant for pranks is strictly Lesedi's doing. Probably. ]

[ He actually jolts when his shoulder is clasped from seemingly nowhere, probably spraying foam on some things he hadn't planned for, and scowls when Kido comes into view. ]

Voooi!! Didn't I tell you not to do that?!

[ Yeah sorry he's not answering that yet. ]

[blindfoldcode]

Maybe if you didn't sneak into my room at fucking four I wouldn't have to!

[She's too tired for this omg.]

The fuck are you doing?

[sharktrash]

[ She could've just slept through it and gotten her beauty rest! But nooo. ]

Woke up, realized we never properly hazed you, and couldn't sleep again, so here I am.

[ He touches her with the extinguisher as he speaks, leaving a trail of foam on her clothes. ]

[blindfoldcode]

Yeah, well, I never sleep so too fucking bad for you. [This is mostly true. Kido works until she literally can't stay awake anymore and that's the only time she ever closes her eyes for rest. Too many nightmares. And there's no one to crawl into her bed here or whose bed she can crawl into for comfort anymore.

She kind of misses that. She has a lot of nightmares.]

Keep the fire extinguisher for when we actually need it, dumbass. Not for my... everything.

[sharktrash]

Really? [ He has the galls to sound mildly concerned. ] Ever thought of trying some of that stuff that knocks you right out?

[ Whoa wait what happened to Genos? ]

Relax, it's not the only one.

[blindfoldcode]

[She does not crawl into Genos's bed. Not now, not ever.

... She's considered it.]

I used to take it. But Genos gets worried about exactly how many drugs I take. [And if she can stop him from short circuiting with worry, she'll do her part.]

[sharktrash]

[ Maybe she should start. :0 ]

He doesn't have to know. [ merrily. ] Besides, you're trying to tell me he wouldn't worry about you not sleeping for days at a time just as much?

[blindfoldcode]

[Because she's sure that would have no consequences.]

There's benefits to that. [Her eyes narrow to a glare as she watches him through those red eyes. She fuckin' caught u bro.]

[sharktrash]

[ What consequences? :0 Squalo's already implying you two bang, what else could possibly happen? ]

[ He stares back at her blankly. ]

Wouldn't call this a benefit. Your cognition's gonna be shot to hell.

[blindfoldcode]

[If he is too blind to miss they're both really gay then he can continue that. She already admitted she's at least banging somebody.]

I can still play, can't I?

[sharktrash]

[ That doesn't take away from the point, though. Only proves there are literally no possible consequences aside from maybe cuddling and talks about feelings. Or is that the ultimate evil for her? ]

For now, yeah. I see you misplaying a note and I'll knock you out myself.

[blindfoldcode]

[Nah they do that enough really.]

Feel free to. Just stop messing with my shit.

[sharktrash]

Fine, fine.

[ He tucks the extinguisher under his arm to raise his hands in mock surrender, and starts off for the door. ]

B

[wounds]

[But he doesn't even have a stomach.

... Then again he does burn it for fuel, so it's probably fine. He's been herded to the table and sits quietly, even if he is looking a bit uncomfortable.]

You know you don't have to, right?

[sharktrash]

[ Tell that to your grandma OH WAIT SHE'S DEAD guess nobody cares huh. ]

[ Squalo flips the omelet almost with a hint of irritation and peers back at him, serious. ]

Do you think people only do things they have to?

[wounds]

[He looks a bit lost in thought before he replies.]

No, but the fact remains I don't need it.

[sharktrash]

[ Okay that's enough of deep feelsy things time to man it up. So he flips Genos the bird. ]

Who cares what you need? I want to.
