vax glances over his shoulder with a grin at that, and waves them over! c'mere. it's kind of nice to see a human-ish shape out of what was once a sad little puddle so at least there's that. ]
Just looking. Figuring out what to do with any of this... food. It is food, isn't it?
[ does anyone in marine know how to use a microwave. ]
... Uhhh, presumably. You guys should really try to get the prism to make you guys a restaurant or something. TV dinners are barely food. Oh, but dude - Baja Blasts! Those are really good, have you tried 'em?
That's what I suggested last week! You drew it for me. [ he makes a little gesture in the air like their shaky little reminds drawing!!! vax remembers. ] But, if you think there's a way we can do that again, I'd like it.
[ let there be tavern!!! he scooches over to make room for bass to look, and then snorts, at the baja blast. ] For those things... oh, yeah. Drank way too many the first day, thought I was gonna be awake for a century. They're terrible. [ affectionate (?) ]
Knew you'd know what they were, though. [ heh ] Seemed like your thing.
[ FROWNS???? HELLO? ] Well that's fucking stupid. Hey, do you know if we can pick the locks? Let's go break into the other floors. I'll take you on a tour.
help this is very cute. he snickers a little as they do. ] Rogue. There you go! Form's good. Better a rogue than a thief, rogues are more charming. Hear they smell better, too.
[ vax'ildan, former member of the clasp who has also been a thief many times in his life ] Just need a sneaky hood, and we'll head off.
[ as he will go to hold the marine balcony door back open. back out we go! pink panther theme time. ]
anyway it looks like bass is having a great time and vax thinks its cute, so he absolutely lets them have this cool sneaky moment, walking behind them... and then grinning because no one has ever asked him this question that he is 100% prepared for. ]
Do I have cloaks - course I do. C'mon. Detour.
[ to the estinien and vax room!!!! did i write he stole a cloak? if i didnt i will retcon it he probably stole like four and it was cyoa week and report t.
but his side of the room is fairly neat, though his bed's unmade and there's some errant painkiller bottles out and about! he'll go to the closet and pluck out a dark gray cloak, holding it out for bass's inspection. ]
[ they are now. you have one l*rd of the r*ngs fantasy elf cloak now bass, congratulations. ]
Alright. Let's get to it.
[ and it's time to Sneak
vax is very good at sneaking! he is not quite playing it up - maybe just a little - but he does creep along the side walls and move from shadows and all of that good stuff to let bass get the true sneak experience as they go up to... idk the third floor. he's got makeshift lock picks from god only knows what, and stands there for a second looking at the keypad... then starts inspecting the door for an actual lock.

[anyway, they peer into the fridge. they will just grab a baja blast, actually, thanks.]
They seem like my thing? [they ask, amused.] Really?
no subject
[ a really, really long week. the text message seems like weeks ago.
but yes, help yourself to the giant pile of baja blasts. he will take one out too, and very gently bap them on the arm with it. ]
Yeah, though. Cause it's full of whatever the fuck makes all that energy. Kind've like you. [ energetic!! bass your sunshine. ]
no subject
Haha, I'll take that! Kinda like a human energy drink. [they reach up to ruffle their hair back out of their face.] I'm, um. Trying my best, I guess.
no subject
as he pops open his own can of terrible fizzy hell, he offers them a bit of a smile, genuine if a little wry. ]
You're doing a good job.
no subject
I'm glad you think so. [a little more quietly.]
no subject
I do. [ with another little can nudge. ] C'mon. You wanna go sit on the balcony?
no subject
Yeah, okay, sure. Let's go. Is it a good view at least?
no subject
[ so, yeah! it's pretty good. especially after a really shitty day!
he steps ahead to go bump the door open with his hip, and then holds it for bass. come to our nice ocean view. ] After you.
no subject
[they do, to their credit, zip out to the balcony. they lean really far over the railing, their staticky hair whipping with the wind.]
Whoa. [...] This place is actually pretty good.
no subject
What, think it was going to be different? You sound surprised.
no subject
[they glance back at him, the hint of a grin on their featureless face.]
no subject
[ FROWNS???? HELLO? ] Well that's fucking stupid. Hey, do you know if we can pick the locks? Let's go break into the other floors. I'll take you on a tour.
[ bad ]
no subject
[shrug. they're used to this.]
I can't even get into the other floors, man, but I'm not gonna stop you from trying to pick the locks, haha.
no subject
he gets up from his spot where he was leaning and rubs his hands together, then grins at them, roguish. ]
You'll have to be sneaky. Don't know how well people'll take to just breaking in. Can you handle that?
no subject
anyway, they like... shift. not forms, but just duck down and look like they're doing their best to be a sneaky thing.]
Yeah! Obviously. I can be a thief in training. Rogue. Whatever.
no subject
help this is very cute. he snickers a little as they do. ] Rogue. There you go! Form's good. Better a rogue than a thief, rogues are more charming. Hear they smell better, too.

no subject
a sneaky hood... they do a dumb tactical roll out of the balcony into the apartment. it's super dorky but they seem to be having a good time.]
Do you have extra cloaks?
no subject
anyway it looks like bass is having a great time and vax thinks its cute, so he absolutely lets them have this cool sneaky moment, walking behind them... and then grinning because no one has ever asked him this question that he is 100% prepared for. ]

no subject
in any case, they follow him into the room, and look super thrilled at the idea of a cloak.]
This is totally like some sort of TV show. [they mutter, pulling the cloak on. yesss. they flip the hood up.]
Okay, okay. I'm ready for our espionage mission.
no subject
Alright. Let's get to it.

.... this does, in fact, take a long time.... ]
no subject
... and then they just watch vax look for this lock, for like... ever.]
Guess keypads are kinda harder to do, huh. [very quietly, very stealthy...]
