POISON: BARiTONES

[idolpro]

[ The room is plain, white walls and white ceiling, except for the steel-panel flooring. There are three metal stands rising out of openings in the floor, each of which carries a glass vial on top. One of them just holds water. Of the remaining two, one contains a dark red, opaque liquid with a creamy consistency; the next is a relaxing blue, with small brightly glittering star-like orbs drifting through it.

Both have fancy but identical cast iron stoppers moulded in the shape of a shark plugging them shut. The only difference is that the red vial's shark is painted white, and the blue vial's shark is painted black. ]

I would rather not sensitIV or Zrael. We do seem to still have a wealth of targets.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

I believe that leaves alcheME and Avante depending on Lily's requets.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

I don't care about either of those. [ not anymore. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

I am delighted that you don't mind the use of poison. That makes it easier, does it not?

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

I don't mind at all~ It'll save our skins, no? I'd much rather protect you and Lily above all else.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

[Sitting on his back.]

Go on. Continue flattering me more. Hmm.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

[ he's going to take a seat on the floor so lily can cozy up to him, his head craning back, so he can lay it on emet's lap. ] You are very important to me Alexander... [ noses him. ] And I would see you safe. I would do almost anything to protect BARiTONES.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

[He pets his snout kindly.]

And I would not have it any other way. Motivated by love as we are.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

[ gives his body a little shake, so emet falls off his back and into the nook he's 'carved' out. basically beside lily, so he can wrap himself around the both of them and cuddle. ] I do hope we don't see any poison... I may get surly if we do... [ replace may with absolutely fucken will. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Even if we get one, we will be able to avoid it. And in the case we get more, well, would you truly be surprised?

But it really doesn't matter in the end.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

No. Not at all. [ a laugh. ] Nothing surprises me anymore.

...this is just... nice, getting to spend time with the two of you, circumstances of the game aside. No matter what we'll always pull through. We're fighters. Always have been and always will be.

Re: DISCUSSION

[firstworldproblem]

Cosmo is the fighter. More akin to you.

I'm the one that gets dragged out of bed too late in the day and desires his rest and relaxation.

[He's jesting.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

[ noses. him. ] ...you still owe me a romp through your dreams. I want to see what you can do... when you're fully charged. [ gives a snicker. ] But I suppose after this game I'll just have to drag you into my spring for some R&R, poisoned or not. Both you and Lily.

[failedsafe]

[hey what you doin too late lily chillin against you now]

Hey, Penny.

[586]

[ he lays down, so the both of them can snuggle against him. ] Lily~ Come. [ he'll use his tail to tuck her closely against himself. ]

[failedsafe]

My my, so demanding and in public, too? You absolute cad!

[586]

I have no shame. [ he sneers, giving her a wet kiss. he's doing it on purpose now. ] And I want everybody to know I love BARiTONES. Why shouldn't I, ..?

[failedsafe]

[She kisses him back, pleasantly surprised but also not. Things have been pretty charged, lately.]

Why shouldn't you, indeed? We're all desperately fabulous.

[586]

[ going to set his head in her lap. ] Now now. Let's not call ourselves desperate. Fabulous, absolutely. But I won't have you putting yourself down. [ lick. ]

[failedsafe]

No, you don't understand. [she pets him reassuringly] I mean exceedingly so to the point where it can nearly not be contained. Certainly too much to bear for any mere mortals.

[586]

Hah! alright, now that is something I can get behind. [ leans into the pets, all four of his eyes closing. ] I do think we are too much for them to handle. A bit overwhelming and maybe a little scary at times, but something you simply can't look away from~

[failedsafe]

I think some of us are a lot scary. [She laughs, though, like this is the best] But some people can be really into that. But you really hit the nail on the head.

[she boops his nose gently in time with 'hit']

[586]

I think all of us have the capacity to be sweet and scary. It depends on the day... and our mood. Mess with the BARiTONE and you get the [ snaps, not at her, but just at the air. ] teeth. [ opens his maw as she boops him, trying to wrap his tongue around her finger. gimme. ]

[failedsafe]

[she watches in delighted fascination as his tongue wraps around her finger.]

Guess I'll just have to mess with you sometime. I like teeth.

[586]

[ tugs her hand into his mouth so he can soak it in saliva. he then releases his finger and clamps down gently, rumbling out and subtle ~oh? ]
