We are going to barred from the school at this rate. [viktor's not sure he'd complain that much, at least it'd be a hell of a way to go.

when pal moves closer viktor kisses his temple with a murmured 'one moment,' sitting up to finally get his brace the heck off so when he's back down again he can tangle their legs without poking pal with uncomfortable bits of metal. the short moment sort of away gets another kiss in apology before he's wrapping around pal again, soft huffs as he makes himself comfortable.

a very good way to spend the evening.]
Hm, that is true. What do you think it did, exactly? It seemed like it forced you to confront unpleasant, bottled up emotions.

[which fuck that. seemingly less deadly than his annoying him-shaped tick of before but still.] The taser project, most likely. I've had another person interested in it, I think it could be a good alternative for people uncomfortable with heavy violence, if only I can make sure it's actually effective against beasts. It won't exactly be easy to take it for. a trial run.

That is true, and there would be symmetry if we tried to use petty theft as the excuse if we were caught. We could convince them we came for the chalk.

[viktor runs his fingers over that face, maybe the dips of a furrowed brow and the curve of downturned lips. mapping a potential grimace and snorting softly.] I'll warn some of the people I know regardless. That is if Allen would answer his messages. [a sigh. haha teenagers, right.

the mental image of hitting a beast in the face with a taser at least makes him smile a touch, nodding.]
Not a bad idea, maybe I'll ask Jason or Todoroki when I'm sure it can be handled. I want to see how it works myself though, which complicates matters. [basically hiring a hunter to use it AND make sure he doesn't die.] Mm, just two at the moment. The supplies involved haven't been too terrible to find, it would be too difficult to make more assuming it ends up worthwhile.

Meaning if any of your flock of teenagers could use one I'd be happy to do so.

Oh good, we can multitask. [and pal does have the pocketspace for it, as far as viktor can tell. that actually reminds him of a question he's always meant to ask, and since it's not along the lines of lyctors or how did you die he'll indulge himself as a treat.] Why do you always wear grey?

[see? softball. he runs a hand over pal's shoulder, said grey fabric, settling again with a sigh like yes, teenagers.] I'm sure, though the only time he isn't prompt he's usually getting himself into trouble.

[a pause to consider. no animal testing, he was mostly just going to try it on beasts first and aim a bit low voltagewise because he didn't want to fry them. he did want to make a setting for humans too, which he's not sure how to tell his boyfriend he'd just test that on himself because he's kind of uncomfortable doing it to anyone else incase he really fucked up. not that he would, thank you, but still.

science is hard when your resources are slim and ethics are a little uh... more complicated. maybe he'll just skim over that.]
No, in terms of living test subjects mostly just beasts. But yes, your flock. As far as I know there's a whole herd of teenagers. I never did get a headcount.

Oh, there are colors now? I suppose that makes sense. [the piltover houses had all sorts of nonsense like that, even jayce and his lower house. he really can't be too surprised.] I'll keep that in mind, make sure your taser remains true to your Sixth commitment.

[because he is gay he takes a moment to consider pal in academy wear, which is a pleasant picture that makes his lips quirk even if it'd very much not grey enough to adhere to the theme. but right, teenagers.] Oh, yes, if you see him. He's difficult to miss, white hair and a red mark over one of his eyes.

[he also doubts this but who knows, maybe pal will be in the lab when he isn't or something. 'a gaggle' makes him breathe out in amusement.] Right, a flock makes you sound like a shepherd. The teens simply exist around you in their own anarchy, as teenagers often do.

You are lucky I cannot draw or it would be your face on it for that cheek. [viktor replies, appeased somewhat by the kiss but still. grey taser, maybe some silver color if he can swing it. an official Sixth themed taser as necromancy god intended, and not the one living around here too.

and his face scrunches up hearing that.]
I have questions- one, would they not be worried the chicken would find the fireworks alarming? And two, an actual chicken and not an omen?

[personal profile] mehanizovati 2022-05-01 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You overestimate people being able to comprehend my scribbling enough to even be art. [which might actually help if they don't realize it's supposed to be a face at all. they can pretend it's just a really nonsensical logo or something.

and truly pal's face deserves better. it is lovely, in viktor's humble and completely unbiased opinion.]


Which teenager is this? A chicken as a pet... hm, frankly I am surprised someone hasn't tried to eat it yet. [if omens ate he'd be worried rocky would, to be honest. sorry rocky, you're scary.] Did the Sixth have pets?

[personal profile] mehanizovati 2022-05-01 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[he is weak, he only manages to offer a sigh before agreeing,] Very well, if it never sees the light of day then I will draw you. What is- be careful what you wish for, that is is. [and now there's even more arts and crafts to be done on arts and crafts day.

oh, this is excellent, viktor can't help but grin at this news.]
Wait, you never told me you manage a children's sports team, Couch Palamedes. Oh, that is absolutely delightful. What sport? Do you have uniforms? [he'll never let you live this down while also finding it sweet. shoyo does good work.]

Construct? [he's imagining a toy. joke's on him that he doesn't immediately realize it's bones because it always is that with the necromancers huh.] Hm, it does make things easier. I've never understood the appeal of the sort of pets that require intense maintenance and expensive equipment to own.

You got suckered into playing score keeper for the local youth. That is... cute. [honestly the idea of pal sitting in his usual grey get up, keeping tally on whatever volleyball is (if his world has it he's shockingly never heard of it)- yeah, that's pretty endearing.

he could be convinced to go to a game, though he'll probably just work on his schematics the whole time. look up occasionally to politely clap. that's how these things work, right.]


Companionship, I would guess. [easy answer there, now that he thinks of it. if he's being honest rio was his first friend and he assumes that's what most people get out of a pet that doesn't have some other function, like hunting.] Most sentient races crave it one way or another. [note he would push what a construct is but give pal's been having a Day he's willing to let it go and just be chill instead of a question machine. he deserves a medal.]

No such thing, unless deadlines are involved. [viktor dismisses.] Which may be the best part of this place aside from 'no galas.' The lack of sponsors and academy personal breathing down one's neck is refreshing.

[he starts idly tapping a pattern into pal's shoulder, not restless in the same way but apparently still prone to little movements when like this, quiet and thoughtful. thinking about Sports and what a volleyball is, how having a social life is more demanding than he realized but mostly fulfilling, if he's honest. things like that.]

Eh, you have Rio now too. [given how often she probably plops by pal for pets this is true.] You're doing well enough with a version that does not need to eat. And for the best, picking mushrooms all day for her would cut in on work hours quite a bit.

Mm, I know the feeling. I spent a decade on Hextech, I would have gladly spent the rest of my days on it as well, but it is nice to follow whims. [admittedly he's now back to hextech only with bloodstones but still. if he's honest it always feels a little odd without jayce there, though having pal to talk to and at about it helps.] I still need to read that book of yours.

[he still kind of hopes pal actually writes the heist novel too, he's never been sure how serious all of it was given they were drinking a lot of blue at the time.]

Oh... yes, I'm sure she would. [his expression goes soft as he says,] She lived in a cave in our world, she used to climb all over the walls and chase things down the little river when she was feeling well. Sometimes she'll chase crumbled paper around the lab- I'm sure she'd enjoy the field.

[personal profile] mehanizovati 2022-05-01 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll find I am not a critic in these matters. If you write a proper paper on necromantic court intrigues then I may start asking for sources. [he answers, dry though the mention of isolation has him running his hand down pal's back, up again, lips pressed for a moment to his forehead.

oh no, rio's own field party gives him a Feeling, one that makes him press a kiss to pal's temple again to try and wrangle.]
She'll hate the noise, I'm sending her away once the fireworks start properly. But- that would be nice. She would like that, I think. [he would like it. the domesticity is killing him slowly, in an excellent way.]

Oh... hm, I suppose you have a point. Names were always Jayce's strong suit, not mine. [probably why he just called it the 'hexclaw' and jayce did cool sounding shit like atlas gauntlets and mercury hammer. he hums as he considers it.] Nothing nautical, I think. Gemtech? Though that's assuming we end up focusing on bloodgems and not the blood itself.

[personal profile] mehanizovati 2022-05-01 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep count. I'll also try and find something else to show you... hm, maybe grass whistles. [does gaze even have grass.] The pet owning joy of throwing something for Rio to catch and the fifty-fifty of if she'll even bother.

[a disgustingly sweet way to spend the evening, since he assumes the less sun the better as far as pal's concerned.]

Then I am out of ideas. [he is genuinely so terrible at this, help.] The last two things I named in Hextech I just put 'hex' in front of a general way to describe the prototype. It's a perfectly serviceable way to name your work.
