Buddy: *opens door*

H-hi zooble, it's just.....

(They take a sharp inhale. Fuck, Halloween was yesterday?)

(ooc) yeagh!

starts talking about my emotional state with 2 degrees of abstraction instead of 7 and the sniper across the street who i pay to keep me in line fires a warning shot thru my little hoop earring

Buddy: But I am, im a weak crybaby who cant fight back....

you’re in a scary situation, crying doesn’t make you weak. and you shouldn’t have to fight a grown (🎉) man

Jax: *punches Buddy thinking they're an NPC, causing them to fall face first into the floor*

Don't get too attached Zooby, remember Pomni and the weird alligator?

*laughs as he walks off with a pep in his step*

JAX WHAT THE (🎉) IS WRONG WITH YOU THIS IS A REAL KID

Buddy: a what? do you mean the box glassss thing....

Isn't it cool being my soldier?

NO IT’S NOT

(So there’s things out there, things that are stronger than Caine and not at the very least well-meaning, who can torture them and any of the others for fun. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Cool.)
