and we could run away. [open]

WHO: Maverick Taylor and OPEN (mostly/semi).
WHAT: Maverick’s nightmares rear their ugly heads again. Time for late night stress relief.
WHEN: Night of February 20th (into the 21st) “officially”, but time is fake and nightmares happened on more than one night, so chase your bliss.
WHERE: Lumi3/outside and around.
NOTES: Smoking and swearing, as a Mav does.

( SKITTERING - closed to Imelda. )

[His feet are bare against the cold ice, and part of his brain tries to tell him that he should be slipping and splitting his head open, but there isn't time to argue because he needs to go, he needs to be faster, he needs --

crrrack.

He’s falling. The only one reaching out to him is the sharp-nailed, glowing creature he was running from in the first place...but arms still catch him. They're cold, probably from being so far beneath the ice in this dark pit, and dirty. He can't find where any of them stop being an arm, even as that one twitches with a crack and starts slithering over to him, crawling, nails scrabbling. He shouldn't open his mouth, but it's the only thing he can still move, as the cries for help rise up within him.


Maverick sits up with a yelp and an overwhelming feeling of nausea, like those fingers really had clawed their way down his throat and were stirring up his stomach, now. This room is -- weird. But it's his, still. Just the one at the academy. He’s here, and he'd yelled, but not for help, and he wasn't crying, and thank fucking god it had been years since he'd ever wet the bed from this shit. He doesn't know how much lower he can let himself sink. He runs his hand through his sleep-addled curls to try and stop it from shaking, but when that doesn't work immediately, he reaches for a pair of headphones coiled around the bedpost to clamp over his ears and -- ugh, fuck, where was his phone? He doesn't want to turn on the light… If anyone had woken up -- or was still fucking awake -- then he needed some kind of plausible deniability. Totally still fucking asleep…]


( SMOKESCREENS AND SNOWBALLS - open, around campus. )

[The fear had faded some, letting anger take its place. Adults weren't supposed to have nightmares, only little kids -- and yet there he was, eighteen years old, and waking up in the middle of the night scared out of his wits time and time again. All because of some fake bullshit his brain came up with! He needs...something real. And a goddamn smoke.

He’s already working on a second cigarette by the time he's settled into packing snow into something that is a maybe vaguely human-shaped lump? His movements are agitated and restless, punctuated now and again by a string of curses or a cloud of smoke intermingling with his breath, clear from the cold. He's gotta suck it up and build an army.

And then he's gotta take that army out with the metal bat resting on the ground beside him.]


( SORRY NOT SUBTLE - open, Lumiére 3 common area. )

[Now that he’s worked out all that anxious energy… Okay, no, he still can't fucking sleep. But at least he can come back inside and curl up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate. He’s swapped out his bat for his laptop, drooping eyes scanning the screen as he scrolls through various, brainless sites. Mav’s got music going, but with the low volume he's set it to, someone probably has to get pretty close to recognize one of many songs by The Cure. Soothing rock.

...there are literally a dozen packets of hot chocolate resting next to him. He probably has more than enough to share, during these lazy, godless hours.]

[ Hey, it's not like watering it down makes it any less sweet; in dry form, it's got this really weird saltiness to it, and sort of turns into thick pudding in your mouth once you chew it up enough, which he's very tempted to open his mouth and show Maverick, just to prove that his tastes aren't that gross.

Kano will just go on and do whatever, like he always does, lounging back on his side of the couch with his feet outstretched and boots propped up on the small table in front. At least they're not caked in dirt- or he'd done an immaculate job of stomping it all off before coming upstairs.

Chew chew swallow ]


Silly, of course I do~ Eight to nine hours a day, like any normal, healthy person~

[ But in batches, and most during the day instead of at night, and not always in his room or in a bed. ]

What about you? A late night snack like this- [ ... ] Or is it breakfast? First meal of the day, right? You should be having something more substantial, you know?

[ Kano let the packet hit his side before stuffing it into his pocket, because he is a packrat before he's a glutton, and he isn't finished tipping his first packet of chocolate powder down his throat yet anyways. ]

Hm~ It's the consistency, isn't it? Juice isn't a snack, but a smoothie is? But if you pour a smoothie into a bowl and eat it with a spoon, it becomes a meal... Water isn't a snack, shaved ice is, and ice cubes are meals!

[ Not being anything is basically... yeah... A fool would think Kano engages in any serious conversation. ]

[ ...Kano slowly lowers his chocolate powder packet onto his lap and stares Maverick in the eyes. ]

You have an eating disorder?

[ Him, obviously. ]

That's hard, isn't it? You can't eat whatever you want, whenever you want, that makes things much harder! Here, here, don't hold back—

[ He'll just lean over to dump the rest of the contents of his packet into Maverick's cup- don't move or it might get all over his laptop ]

[ Maverick might not need his fucking hot chocolate backwash powder, but what Kano's hearing is that he needs to find something healthy to dump into this concoction. Tea? Tea is a vegetable, right? He squirms out of the way so he can dig out a handful of tea bags out of his jacket pocket and start tearing them open and adding the crushed leaves into Maverick's abandoned cup. ]

Don't worry, I gotcha covered~ Where's your newest tat? Can I see?
suddenlybees: (083)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-22 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Sometimes I want tea?

[ Opening the third tea bag, the fourth... ]
suddenlybees: (023)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-22 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ I am somebody who uses three bags in one cup and then complains about being wired, maybe this is how Kano gets away with being awake at ungodly hours of the morning. ]

Ew, gross...!

[ For Maverick's audacity, Kano pulls the sock off Maverick's foot and confiscates it into his pocket, he will get rid of Maverick's holey socks one at a time if he must. ]

I'll drink have if you drink half~ And I get to drink the top half!
suddenlybees: (329)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-22 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Nope, it's disappeared into the abyss of his jacket pocket, and Kano fixes Maverick with a bland smile. ]

What sock?
suddenlybees: (023)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-22 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Gross, gross!!! Kano wants to laugh, but that'd just be inviting a gross foot into his mouth, so instead he ducks to grab that mug of hot chocolate tea and tries to use it as a shield. Would he dare kick it?? And ruin the upholstery??? ]
suddenlybees: (085)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-22 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Who is Kano to go against peer pressure?

He hops onto his feet for this, sets his shoulders back and feet apart in a power stance, because he's got to power through this- he brings the cup to his lips and tilts it back, draining the cup until there's just the tea dregs left. ]


...Ugh, that's bitter...
suddenlybees: (052)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-23 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
—Whoa, okay, okay, take it!!

[ THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO CONFIRM THIS THAN STICKING YOUR HAND IN IT.......

But it's better that Maverick does this instead of turning the cup upside down, though it's to find that the cup has indeed been drained with only soggy tea leaves at the very very bottom, no illusion here. ]
suddenlybees: (312)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-23 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Being called a freak would normally get Kano to wrinkle his nose, but being the favorite freak? How could he not feel good about being the favorite anything?? ]

Hehe~ Go get some more hot water! I've got some more tea bags in here somewhere, I'll make another cup for you too!
suddenlybees: (022)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-23 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kano ducks out of the way, because he's dumb and assumes Maverick was going to smear something in his hair, like he would've done in the reverse position. But once he has the cup of water in his hands, he pulls it over to the other side of the table and plops himself down on top of the surface, bodily blocking Maverick's view of this concoction he's been given permission to mix together. ]

You'll drink all of it, won't you~?
suddenlybees: (019)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-02-23 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Kano glances over his shoulder at the pinky. ]

Are you allergic to anything?

[ Because then everything else is fair game. ]
