Who said it was a bother? Do you know how bored Ive been for the past month and a half?

[He has to go to the gym and stuff, dude. It's been awful.]

You wanna like, hang out or something? It doesnt have to be productive.

From:

astraymoon

I've no idea. I barely even know you dude.

[He hasn't been to the gym much because...well, he didn't know if he'd be welcome. He's got hang ups like that.]

Why do you want to be buddy buddy all of a sudden? I'm not raiding the infirmary anymore.

From:

falkeditupagain

Well there's one indication you definitely don't know me.

'Buddy buddy' is just how I do. And uh...I didn't know you did that, so maybe dont go tattling on yourself. Besides, Vincent is scary when he wants to be. Trust me, I was around when he came on board. I was absolutely convinced he was a vampire.

From:

astraymoon

Well yeah, no. How would I?

And I figured the news would get out sooner or later, so I don't care. People punish for all kinds of reasons anyway.

Vincent got me good earlier though- he ain't no vampire. Vampires here have a different smell- kind of...papery? Under the blood scent? If it makes sense? Paper but not paper.

His smell is more like a peppery, magic scent, thinking on it.

From:

falkeditupagain

Well how would you if you dont give me a chance, either, huh?

[Hanna wiggles his eyebrows with a grin, but he isnt going to force the kid to hang out with him.]

So ling as youre not going around killing people I dont keep a tight leash. I figure the drugs were for you, not like you're gonna try and drug other people. You got better options now than stealing anyways, so why would you?

[He is curious about the boys sense of smell though.]

Huh. And uh, what do I smell like? Hopefully better than before.

[Though he is very much aware that while the rotting smell is gone, to a vampires nose he still has the tainted blood to catch and be off put by. Can this kid smell that too?]

From:

astraymoon

The wardens will snitch about me if it was a problem. I'm not a killer, even if I am a beast, a monster, something unhuman.

[His voice was flat. Unhappy.]

I was trying to get them for me but kept being refused. I have your runes, and the Ghoul now has me unhooked. So I don't get all the withdrawls I was getting before.

I don't know what was before but...you smell off. It's something like magic, but it's something else. It's...itchy? Like pepper.

From:

falkeditupagain

[Hanna squints.]

Buddy, I think we've gotta work on that negative self talk. The M word is my least favorite, especially paired with the rest of all... that. [He spins his pointer finger around as emphasis.

But, not he's curious for another reason.]

We got a guy on here who can just skip withdrawals? Thats awesome... see this is the kind of shit you miss when you're laid up for too long.

And I suppose that isnt too bad...most people say it smells sour.

From:

astraymoon

You're gonna hate Christopher then, he self identifies as one. I nearly lost my damn mind when he told me he could...see what I was.

[Thankfully, John was there. He was good for both boys, really.]

He don't. He has a medcine from his world that he gave me...actually, I'd like to ask you to give him some more of it. It helps rid you of addiction.

You do throw up a lot when you do use it, but everything gone from your system.

Don't get me wrong. It's still irritating to the nose. But, I'm used to it.

From:

falkeditupagain

Yeah well does Christopher couch the word with "beast" and "unhuman"? Cause thats where Ive got my issue. [A lot of words to dehumanize yourself there kiddo.]

I can do that, though he got paired a while back, didnt he? Probably could ask her for that, but I dont mind putting it in.

If you're going through withdrawal you're gonna be puking anyways, so... if one ways faster, seems like a win to me.

[though he does wonder what Sheehan has to say about it.]

From:

astraymoon

No, just monster. It's his...weird, world thing. The others are just inside thoughts.

If you could, I'd appreciate it. I don't think he has many, and I wanna make sure he has all he needs.

And I was puking. And going through anxiety attacks, and insomnia. No one cared.

Fuck the infirmary.

From:

falkeditupagain

Got it. Well, unless you're where he's from, cool it on the M word, that's reserved for corporations and politicians.

[he can probably do that though. With a shout to his warden anyways that he's done it.] You know what it's called? Don't want to be vague with Coach, he'll get ideas.

[That doesnt sound like Vincent Valentine though, that he didnt care.]

Hey now, im not saying they didnt act like they didnt care, but that's not really fair when you tried to force your way first.

But if you're not dealing with the withdrawals any more you dont need their stuff anyways, at least not for supplying. So maybe we can work on bridging some rightfully hurt feelings and get you what you need, huh?

From:

astraymoon

I'm not. His world...I have no idea what it's like.

[They haven't really talked about it because it'd freak Germaryah out a lot. He still tenses up when Chris even skirts around it.]

Addictol. It comes in an inhaler, and it's from his world. I don't...crave it like I did. The opiods. And thanks to John, I don't feel the pain anymore.

So I won't bother them, they won't bother me. Vincent knows I went through some shit recently, because my body isnt...normal.

But I don't want to be around them no more.

From:

falkeditupagain

[There is a shuffling of paper, writing the name down so he doesnt forget.]

Im not making anyone do anything, just meant if you want the effect of the substance, minus the chemical? I've got you covered.

Just maybe go there if you get hurt, or find a friend who can heal you. You've only got so many options on this boat and it hurts you more than it helps to limit yourself.

From:

astraymoon

I know, you're the magical drug dealer here. I haven't used up what you've given me so far...

Also it's...well, maybe you should ask John, or Ashton, since John has like God stuff and Ashton knows medical stuff.

But I kinda...don't have to worry about it, normally.

From:

falkeditupagain

I wouldn't call myself a dealer, but I am your friendly neighborhood witch. [He just wants to help, responsibly anyways.]

But really dude, you want to hang out? I wasn't just yanking on your chain for giggles.

Got some place you'd like to see in the enclosure? I could use the walk.

From:

astraymoon

You're also not Spiderman. You don't have the costume dude.

But if you insist on this cozying up stuff...well, I got some time before work.

I wanna see the ocean. A nice one.

From:

falkeditupagain

Thats because this boat has kept me from Halloween for the last two years. This is my year, man. Spiderman costume is within reach.

[He perks up at him conceding.]

Well, I live in a coastal town, I like that ocean, but we could go somewhere tropical instead? You ever been to Hawaii? Cause I haven't

From:

astraymoon

Uh huh with no mask on. Else, you'll be walking into things without your glasses.

But...I've never been so sure.

Let's see Hawaii. Never could afford it anyway.

From:

falkeditupagain

[Hanna huffs, slightly offended.] how do you know I need these to see? It could be a fashion statement.

[It isnt, and he probably would but dont crush his dreams.]

Well, here we dont have to pay for a ticket or a passport. Meet you down there?

From:

astraymoon

Fashion glasses are thin. You're blinder then a bat in a summer's day ain't you.

[Don't take off your glasses or try a cartwheel Hanna.]

Yeah, meet you there.

From:

falkeditupagain

[Teenagers can just smell weakness cant they?]blind, damn dude. Conrad's the one whose blind...

[Hes grumbling, but he will be on his way. He's even wearing shorts and a tshirt! Good shit to go run in the water with.]

From:

astraymoon

[Teenagers are scary, really. He comes up, and while he's got his shoes held in one hand, and his pants rolled up to his calves, he's still wearing just the one outfit he got from the wardrobe earlier to replace his ratty hand-me-downs.

Which had the orange leather jacket from before. If Chris took his shirt then...no shirt.]

No monsters on the beach, right?

From:

falkeditupagain

[Hanna isnt about to judge what the kids got on, he has worn some wild stuff but...]

Dude, where your shirt?

[leather with no shirt just sounds sticky to him, and like, sure you do you but add hot weather and sand to that?

He bumps his hip to the enclosure door to get it open, his fortune teller in his pocket and nods him forward.]

M word nonsense. No shoes, no shirt no problem I guess.

From:

astraymoon

Chris took it. Helped him sleep better. I only have the one set.

[He shrugged.]

I'll take it off and put the shoes aside once we're in.

Just...checking.

[He still looks nervous as he steps inside.]

Last time I was here, Les was training with mole creatures. I thought they were real, is all.

From:

falkeditupagain

Oh... well, theres like, more shirts? The wardrobe is a free for all. I think its nice community project than 'company resource' anyways.

[Hanna isnt sure why Chris needs his shirt to sleep, but that isn't any of his business.

He walks over to the console and pauses.] oh! Gotcha that makes more sense. Yeah, no I just want a nice walk, no need for mole creatures.
