The Fifth Trial

Who: ALL
When: Day 11, noon
Where: Outer Space

Come hither, Heroes. Prove thy worth.

[ That familiar silence befalls everything following the call, and just like before the third trial there’s a glittering void, points of light twinkling in the air. As you step into the space it expands, seeming to consume you, the Aurora, and all that exists in general. There’s a feeling of vertigo as this happens, frozen lights swirling all about you and once again it's all accompanied by obnoxious giggling.

This time, however, when the darkness fades, you're...

Back inside of the Aurora? No, this is actually an entirely different train. Outside the windows, you can only see wispy, dancing lights illuminating the surroundings, which you can't quite make out. The doors outside don't open. ]

[hums a vaguely interested noise, but he's too wiped to really pursue curiosity, just letting cael do whatever.]

[ honestly he could just give him a kiss and bed him and be done with it, but he's still trying to figure out how to reorient himself. shooting someone so that he could subdue her - from what he understands of the situation, it makes sense, but he has to learn how to navigate from there. it doesn't bother him that randy did it

it doesn't bother him that randy did it

it doesn't bother him that randy did it, right?

but maybe he should tread cautiously. it doesn't bother him, but sex isn't exactly the thing to immediately go into to comfort someone at a time like this, so instead he's stroking his head, fingercombing gently against his scalp to undo his hair if it's put up ]

[Randy's not... exactly oblivious to reasons someone might be unsure of him right now, but he's not aware that Cael is having problems.

his hair was in a loose ponytail as always, but he's tipping his head pleasantly into the petting.]

[ listen he's very good at not letting things that bother him actually surface in any visible behavior to the point that he does not recognize when things bother him

speaking of, what problems are you talking about

humming, quietly ]

Your hair is pretty.

[the problems that exist in regards to how he riddled their teammate with bullets.]

Thanks. I try to take good care of it.

[it's silky, too.]

[ i mean it's really sad but you seem to be the stressed one not me ]

Mmm, not just that. The color is nice.

You always have it like this, though. You don't think about changing it up every once in a while?

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[well he's definitely stressed about it. just makes a noncommittal noise in response to the color comment- he's got slightly complicated feelings about it, but not enough to dye it or stop being vain as hell.]

Nah, I've had it this way since I started growing it out. I've always figured it suits me, and it's quick and easy to handle.
fisherofmen: (more and more)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's definitely easy for me to handle.

[ a beat ]

It doesn't get in your eyes?
crimeson: (but i won't wait much longer)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[laughs, softly.]

I keep my bangs pretty short, right? And the ponytail keeps the rest mostly in order.

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ tilts his head to lean in ]

It just gets a little in the way of seeing your eyes, sometimes. Though it's charming too, I admit.
crimeson: (just by your left brain)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, you like my eyes that much?
fisherofmen: (give me more!)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
When I can see them this close! You're so damn tall.
crimeson: (find a way)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[bats his eyelashes]

You see 'em up close pretty often though.
fisherofmen: (you don't have to act so tough)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
Not as much as I'd like! But I guess I could fix that, with your hair down like that. I could just yank you down and look closer whenever I feel like it~

crimeson: (if you can stay one more hour)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
You could. Should I wear it down for you?
fisherofmen: (though the violence is familiar)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm . . .

I like it better as something just between us two. ♥
crimeson: (i wouldn't have it any other way)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
Cute. Well, you can take it down whenever you'd like.
fisherofmen: (and I'll consume perfection)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
I will. But did you really mean cute or is that just something you're saying? Do you like cute?
crimeson: (i'll take the west train)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[?]

'Course I like cute. Why would it be something I'd just say without meaning it?
fisherofmen: (what else do you need?)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Because I'm right here so if you say something mean I'll pull your hair?

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, should I say something mean then?

[m]
fisherofmen: (supposed to be anymore)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.

Are you a pervert?
crimeson: (if you can stay one more hour)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] crimeson 2019-02-10 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Is that news?
fisherofmen: (take a bite of me)

Re: ENDGAME

[personal profile] fisherofmen 2019-02-10 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Not particularly, but you should say it, you know? If you want me to be mean to you.
