Junk Food Party

[Circe]

Circe firmly nods in agreement with Colonel Worm, "Damn straight Colonel. We'll slay the monsters," since winning was better then dying for a cause. Just like Patton said. As Worm talks, Circe continuously nods in agreement over no collateral damage. It was bad for business. Precision was why she'd not gotten an Uzi and left her AK in the Hedge. Unlike Worm, she doesn't spill her drink as she sips, "Oh ho ho ho!"


Circe's arms are full so she doesn't even try to hug R'lyeh as Worm called her to do. Circe was impulsive, yet R'lyeh made it clear she didn't like being touched. And then the oily fox explodes. And wow, seems Circe gets to be the level headed one, again, from not being totally stoned or drunk. Why is Circe always being responsible?


Circe looks to Roshon when she mentions the hugging not sticking. Then back to R'lyeh. The oily fox. Was that a pun from Roshon? Circe's ears droop down as she watches R'lyeh freak out. Roshon's reply was a very Summer one. Not reasonable but it does give Circe time to quickly think on an answer that is, and wow something inside Circe ain't happy about that.


After she stops speaking, Circe answers, "Two, no, three, actually, a few reasons. First, because why not? Ya might not be a Summer but yer resisting Themy. And ya clearly got some rage too, props on that. My first crew wasn't all Summer either." Circe finishes off her food. "Allies are better then enemies is a habit, extrovert, yadda yadda psychological bullshit. Next, I'm such an asshole I come back around the other way. Though Roshon's kind of right. Yer barking up," okay that was a fox pun, "The wrong trees if ya want ta be a sub fer validation. There's a club ya can pay fer that. Third, also Roshon," Circe points to their hostess, "Sort of a friend, at least a fellow enthusiast. You," points at the sad fox, "Clearly her friend so that's enough." Then Circe downs her tequila and gives out a frustrated sigh. And her Mantle was back too, "Plus, and this is something I massively pissed about and don't understand how the cazzo it fanculo happened, I am a responsible person," she looks away from R'lyeh to eye her glass. Twirling the empty glass she speaks.


"That's futto fer a Summer right? Didn't even start with the Groundskeeper job, helping other Freeholders. I mean, I get the crown because the other Summer lost in a gamble. And then I am the voice of reason when the previous monarchs were screaming at each other," she pauses as memory and filtering affect what she recalls, "Okay, kinda funny how they looked when I pointed out the Summer was the voice of reason, but I'm a gun nut that likes explosions. How the cazzo did I start being responsible?"


The answer to that was probably when she started playing rear guard and decoy for her Rogues. "I expected ta have been duct taped ta a chair fer a gunfire intervention, but noooo. I keep being the reasonable one instead of cutting loose! That's kinda fucked up right?"

ooc: Circe was originally supposed to be a wild, crazy and impulsive character. But character development happened and here she is.

[Colonel Worm]

Worm's just kind of sitting there, watching the show at this point. He hadn't expected things to take this turn. But, with the Adderall pumping through his system, he's up for intense conversations. He could chew the fat all night.

"Kid, I don't know you. How can I say whether it's because you're you or not? That's beside the point anyway. What I'm trying to say is simple: you're not going back. We," eyes to Circe then to Roshon, "won't let that happen. Understand?" How'd they get from protecting their fellow freeholders to R'lyeh's own issues with self-worth? Worm's not quite sure. Doesn't matter.

"Can't speak for these folks, but I'm nice because why the fuck not? Spent a long time being a prick. A real long time. But things are different now. And being nice is free." Roshon's got the right of it, though, and the Colonel nods along to her question: "Like Ro' said: the question is why're you so fucked up by someone being nice in the first place?"

Circe's monologue has the Goblin grinning. He knows exactly what she's talking about. He often wonders the same stuff about himself. "That's my Summer Queen," he jokes. "She'll put a bunch of holes in your enemies and remind you about your upcoming dentist visit to boot. She's got it all, I tell ya!"

[Rlyeh]

R'lyeh's lip wobbles, face tightening up as she squints. Eyes, looking wet and shiny. Looking between everyone. A loud riot of defense and...niceness. In a loud riotous way. She's quiet save for a sniffle here and here as she pulls her fingers, twisting them together, then pulling one from the other as she rubs at her face, her eyes.

"...I don't. I don't understand." she admits. Looking between Circe-Colonel Worm-Roshon. "I don't understand." she says again, looking more and more distressed. Not by their words, but by her own misunderstanding. Pulling her knees up and closer, she presses her face against them and breathes.

"No-one-says...I'm a person. Not since Before. And from New York to here...there's people that are fake-nice-pretends. I'm fucked up." she says, an distorted echo sounding more like I've fucked up. "I'm sorry," she says looking up from her knees, "This wasn't supposed to be this...." another breath, "I wont doit again."

[Roshon]

We're out of time :C
I'd love to do a follow up scene, though! Maybe one of y'all would like to host?

Sometimes people just needed space.

And, like, Roshon was way too high for this.

Time and place and all that.

But they had food, they had good company, and they had the rest of the night.
