Thinking of taking a dip, Keith?

[Paint her more in the 'curious' side of things. She was still struggling with what had happened with Chara last month, but she'd tamped it down a lot further, and focusing on some of her friends she hadn't wronged while deranged helped. Besides, after the talk on the network, when she'd seen Keith, she figured it was good to keep tabs on her friend.

Sliding up, she was in a swimsuit, because yeah she was definitely thinking about going down there.]


Not sure about breathing down there yet, but I can turn into a squid on purpose if I really want to. It's... a little weird, but it works.

[The joys of being vile-blooded with her power set.]

[A one-piece, but definitely a swimsuit. Nope, this wasn't awkward at all considering recent talks.]

I... think it's technically possible for any of us. My body just does it a little easier. That whole 'shifting' thing that I can do with the vileblood.

[She held up a hand and showed him the claws she could form before relaxing them with only the slightest wince. It was still uncomfortable, but it was getting more ... manageable with time.]

The forms I can take are based on two different things. Of course one's a squid. Since we're basically living in squid bodies that have changed to look like our real selves. I bet it's easier if you're in the water, if you want to try.

...

It's not half as weird as that sounds.

Ah, good. I wasn't sure. I haven't been down yet.

[She stretched, flexing her fingers when her arms came back down and looking at her palms with a little frown before clenching them and turning back to Keith. If she didn't have to turn squid, so much the better.]

It's a strange power, to say the least. If I don't actually need to use it, it's better that I don't. So, lady's first, or would you like me to bring up the rear guard?

[She stepped over and picked up a fairly basic looking harpoon. Her gun wasn't going to be much use down there, but she wasn't going unarmed.]

Boats? Boats!

[Adam had thrown his typical caution to the wind, tempted by scientific exploration. He wasn't exactly a strong swimmer either, but he was no slouch. And ever since the previous iteration of Deerington where he'd drowned at sea he'd been a bit afraid of the ocean, loathe as he was to admit it even to himself. So it was a strengthening exercise and the pursuit of science. Two very good reasons.

Not that he was trying to convince himself, of course.

He was a bit surprised to hear a bit of splashing behind him when he realized who it was that was making his way towards him.]

Keith? What are you doing out here?
saltyadam: (adam-017)

[personal profile] saltyadam 2022-08-28 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ I don't know what I expected. He asked Keith a question and got a very Keith answer. This was, honestly, on him.]

If I'd known you were interested in science I would have dragged you into the field earlier.

[He and Takashi were closer. He'd told Adam about what Keith had gone through. The trauma. Perhaps Adam could serve him best as a distraction.

He has his notepad on, noting variations and any other obtainable data.]

Noticed anything interesting yet?

Well obviously something scientific must be making it glow. I'd love to take some home to test, but Takashi might have something to say about me being reckless. Like he has room to talk.

[He slid a familiar smile Keith's way, one eyebrow raised.]

Want to check out the boats?

The question sounds rhetorical, but the illness has progressed a long way for it to reach the point of suckers on one's hand. Quickly, Duty traces the sound back to a young man with dark hair, patches of abnormal rubbery skin, and indeed one hand with suckers better suited to a cephalopod.

Duty catches the part-squid Sleeper's eye and looks him dead on. "Come with me if you want to live," he says, "I can answer your question but on the way. If we don't get you cured, you'll be a squid again and not the friendly neighborhood kind." He motions for them to go but keeps enough distance between them to react to any attempt at contact. He's not a touchy guy, but this is a safety measure. Been there, done that, and Mercymorn didn't even give him a crappy t-shirt.

Once the infected person, Keith right?, is coming with him, Duty heads away from the heavily populated streets to find a sewer entrance. The time they walk needs to be enough to convince someone who barely knows him to follow him into the sewer. It's pure Mercymorn to be exceedingly useful in the most offputting way imaginable.

"I had it," Duty answers, "I'm taking you to the person who cured me." He has dark scarred skin, but his arms are bare, and his face, neck, and hands are clearly visible. They're all clear of any squid like appearance.

"If you don't get cured, you will rampage." Further risk of harm and murder. At that point, the simplest easiest solution is to kill the monster squid. Curing people is specific and difficult at that stage.

Their network interaction establishes a connection, but Duty's not sure it's a boon. "Yes," he answers anyway. "On your network post." About Keith's last... rampage or equivalent.

[personal profile] martyrofduty 2022-08-19 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
"You're welcome," Duty says. He pauses, as they walk. "No, I did not rampage. I got help." The mature choice. Influence comes in many forms, and Duty's aware of his sharp tongue. Aware and comfortable with it.

He looks ahead down the damp road ahead of them. What has such a chip on this kid's shoulder? "I'm making sure anyone affected that I can find gets help," Duty says. Even if that help is a respawning. "It isn't a fun experience, but it's effective."

He stands over the grate to a storm sewer. "Any questions before we hop down there?" It's a commitment. Keith can still change his mind once he sees the edges of Mercymorn's lair, but at that point Mercymorn may or may not let him go.

azurestar: (you and me wont be unhappy)

[personal profile] azurestar 2022-08-30 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
[After accidentally breaking some of the tools and materials they were using to fix up the burned parts of the house, Lance set out to get replacements. Willful Machine is always bustling and he tries to keep his pockets from being picked on a regular basis as he walk through the crowds to a less crowded part of the street…

Only for that less crowded part to suddenly have a watermelon nuke dropped down in it. He is now standing right by the mess, with watermelon on his boots, and somehow some got flung onto his face. He reaches up slowly after a moment to swipe it off of his eyes as he hears Keith's panicked voice.]


Seriously? [Of course this is how his day would turn. Though he thinks he knows what happened. Keith isn't the only one who's been exposed to the water…]
azurestar: (wake up)

[personal profile] azurestar 2022-09-18 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lance heaves a breath and just decides to… roll with it. What's he gonna do, really? He looks to Keith with a bit of an exasperated look.]

Dude, how does a melon just get away from you?
azurestar: (what's going down)

[personal profile] azurestar 2022-09-20 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Lance frowns slightly and comes over to inspect the scene and Keith's hands more closely.]

Riiight. So you lifted it and it just… [He makes vague explosion motions with his hands.]
