22 ♐ Horse in a Spider's body

Who: Darkleer (trapped in a spidertroll's body) and YOU
When: Throughout the day
Where: The park, and then throughout Vatheon
Style: Open
Status: Open

Morning, the Park



For anyone wandering near the connection between the park quadrant and the main city, they might see something odd. After spending the last few days detoxing (a painful experience), Darkleer has finally decided to venture out in Mindfang's body. There's just... one problem. The empathy. As reluctant as he is to admit that she was in any way right, Darkleer can't deny that it is a powerful overwhelming sensation. But he's not going to give up.

So those wandering about might see 'Mindfang' taking deep breaths and trying to venture into the city.. only when more than a few people are in the vicinity, 'she' seems to pale and quickly retreat until 'she's' in the entrance to the park again where 'she' can sit down and sigh in frustration.

> See what the big deal is?

Throughout the plaza, the rest of the day



At some point, Darkleer manages to get over the crushing feel of empathy- okay, that's not quite right, and the real answer is much longer and involves the kind of stubborn denial that only Zahhaks are capable of, but the point is...

At some point, one might see a finely dressed Mindfang walking about the plaza, with her hair actually brushed and made nice and everything. She actually cleans up fairly well, even with her robotic arm looking a bit jarring in comparison to the rest of the fleshy body. There's also something else a bit jarring:

the giant terrarium full of spiders that she's holding in her hands.

Seriously, there are at least, like, eighteen of them or something. Lord. At least Darkleer seems proud. Awwwww yeah, cleared this body of spiders in the hair, excellent.

> Approach?

Sollux is still looking defensive, scowling and baring his teeth just a bit. "Yeah, probably wouldn't work on me. But we're still not going to experiment."

"Of course, of course, my apologies." Quietly making a note to himself never to bring up mind control again, Darkleer clears his throat. "Let's forget that, then. Where were we?"
thekidsare0kay: (uhhh (b0dy2wap eq))

Slowly, Sollux relaxes, and he reaches up to run a hand through Equius' straight hair. "I think we were at controlling my fucking annoying strength, before that shitty digression."
butwhyhairspiders: ("Maybe I'll see you again later.")

"That's right. You need to relax your body first of all. Take deep calming breaths and try not to think too many frantic thoughts. Have you ever meditated before? It's rather like that."
thekidsare0kay: (facepalm (b0dy2wap eq))

Meditated? [He shakes his head, frowning] No, I don't really do that kind of thing. [He draws in a breath, closing his eyes and squirming a bit in place. He's got a lot of energy. Sitting still when he doesn't have something to distract him isn't really a thing he does]
