Less you've got something you wanna do, but
Thought maybe company'd be nice.

[ this is vax for "u got it" probably

anyway, the door is open when bass comes to it! actually, it's just creaked open a bit. vax himself is sitting nearby, dressed in more casual clothes than his armor - whenever it pops open, he puts his phone away and gives them a little nod. ]

[ bass can lean on him! he does not seem to mind this, perhaps especially because it’s touch week, though vax does produce a can of Baja blast for them to drink. congrats on your human shape yellow friend.

as for what’s up… ]
Well. Shitty night. Apartment’s quiet.

[ … ] Wanted to check on you.

Little bit.

[ that comes with a huff of a laugh. selchy... ] Think he might've thought I was moping. Thought we'd be two birds of a feather.

[ help

this is funny he can't help but laugh ]
Yeah. I called him Emet and he about lost it, but I haven't stopped doing it. Got him to call me Vax the other day, too. Think he just needs to be trained how to have friends.

[ is emet a person or a dog.

anyway. he turns his head to smile at them, properly this time. vax looks a little tired up this close, but, it is a genuine smile. ]
I like hanging out with you too, kid. [ my bass!! ] You're always welcome.

You wanna talk about what's weird? Or just shoot the shit?

[ takes a break from emotional memshares for more emotions

"i want to be strong", bass says. it's touch week, so vax, who is already prone to reaching out, does just that, moving to put his hand on bass's arm as they struggle. ]


... well. [ he gets that, maybe. ]

...We're all already pretty fucking bummed out. [ maybe not the most elegant place to start, but a place to start nonetheless. ] And... think maybe sometimes being strong doesn't always have to mean being happy all the time, or letting other people be upset while you're - comic relief, or happy, or whatever. That shit - it bottles up in you, till you explode. I watched someone do that, once, and he slipped away from us before we even realized how bad it had gotten.

Nobody's happy with how any of this's been going. Some people hide it better than others. I know I don't. You see me as any weaker because of it?

[ marine life ]

's stronger, sometimes, to be with people when they're hurting. Together. It's... ...I think it's worth it, to let people see this part of you, Bass.

[ it's what he wishes he could do, now. when vex is upset, or gods forbid, something attacks her, he won't be there to help. all he can do now is watch. it's what he's tried to do for scanlan, for keyleth, for all of his people who he loves, tried to support them and hold them up when they were down, so they didn't have to be as down as vax did.

...it feels like talking to kynan, a little. the sense of solidarity is there, and so vax - he tries. god, he tries, so he keeps going. ]


...Even without that, you're way stronger than you've given yourself any credit for. Going through whatever this is with us's fucking hard, and not only are you going through it, but you're guiding a bunch of assholes who just dropped onto your doorstep through it.

That's pretty fucking strong, if you ask me.

I get that.

[ because, unfortunately, he really does.

vax quiets for a second, thinking of how to respond to that. ]


... How much worse does it get for you when you do pretend?

[ vaxildan "i walk away" vessar ]

...doesn't, though.

[ go away.

just gets worse.

he doesn't say much more than that on it, though, tone just quietly knowing. ]
... you're still young, right?

[ vax watches him, for now, thoughtful. ] ...Told Garou he acts like he's twelve. Think you're nowhere near that.

[ stop bullying garou!!! or not. this is a joke. ]

Whatever you go through - here, or whatever you went through, whatever you remember, just means you've got to learn something from it, no matter how old you are. Maybe take some advice from a dead guy, or don't, but it means you've got some time to learn what works best for you.

...Time's a luxury. 's a good thing.

[ oh, whoops.

...

well.

he shrugs a shoulder. ]


's like I said. Time is a luxury.

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-08 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ wow. what is it with everyone he likes and being dead.

.. well. it's not like he can really talk? he returns that, that amused wryness. ]
Well. 's not a bad club to be in. Maybe I can pull a string or two for you when I'm back with the Raven Queen.

[ vax no. the second part gets his attention too, though, and he tilts his head. ] What do you mean?
daggering: wel weell well. look like a human have drop these bag of chip. how. unforchewnate. (93)

[personal profile] daggering 2022-03-08 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yea that is his job

anyway. he raises an eyebrow at that, with emet - and then laughs a little. ]
Iunno if he'd call us friends. [ (emet voice) YOU ARE INTOLERABLE

but, he does seem pleased with this so. ]
Sort of blurted it out last week, when we were all just blurting things out, but - yeah, he's right.

The Raven Queen's... [ hmm ] ... a goddess, yeah. An ancient one, goddess of death. Guards passage from life to the afterlife. Sort of my boss, nowadays. I guess.

[ he points to bass for a second like “got him there!” it’s solidarity.

anyway the glitching is. concerning. vax frowns, immediately, shifting on the couch. ]
I - not really. I don’t know what that is, you alright?
