no one's gonna fix me when i'm broke [CLOSED]
Who: Mindfang and the Psiioniic
Where: The coral! And then Mindfang's ship.
What: KIDNAPPING = FRIENDSHIP WHEN YOU ARE MINDFANG
When: Last night, March 11
[ Mindfang had heard that there was this weird coral you had to...touch? Or something. To replenish your energy. She'd been feeling less than chipper lately, so here she was, touching the stupid coral.
It seemed like she wasn't the only one there, though. She noticed from the corner of her eye another troll. That yellowblood she'd talked to before? And she remembered from that wall the green child had made that he and Darkleer were probably close...
Well. It wouldn't hurt getting to know her old friend's friends, right? So, straightening up and taking her hand from the coral, she headed over to the other troll. ]

[Signless knocks the hat off his head and keeps flailing, trying to reach Psii. His thought bubble shifts again, showing another dark, murky scene, another memory: this time, it's himself getting dragged away, pulled away from his family, reaching, reaching... but never far enough.]
No I'm not all right, put me down, Psii, put me down right now!
no subject
[ Her own bubble is dark and shadowy, and as she watches Signless freak out it starts crisscrossing with...wires? No, web, and some strange threatening figures start looming in the background. ]

Are you okay? She didn't hurt you, did she?
[Oh god, Psii, you reek like booze. He looks over his shoulder, giving Mindfang the stinkeye of a lifetime.]
What did you do?
no subject
spiders start crawling into her thoughtbubble, spiders everywhere, and she might be drunk but her eyes narrow suspiciously. There are brief flashes behind the webs, paranoid scenarios, what to do if he makes a wrong move, if he tries to hurt her, where are the goddamn exits in here- ]
Gave him a nice hat and a few drinks and a lot of conversation. What's it to you if he so much as has a conversation outside your control, rustblood?
[ Her hand twitches toward her scimitar in its sheath, antsy and nervous. ]

The Marquithe overrode my thythtemth and then thuggethted I imbibe intokthicant thubthtantheth with her.
[ He usually tries to avoid words like that one, and for very good reason.
Aaaand then there's a 'please stop being angry' face pap.]
That ith all.
no subject
[Signless blinks a few times when Psii paps him, and then all the anger bleeds out of him, all at once, and he holds his friend tight against his chest.]
[After a moment, he looks up at Mindfang.]
Forgive me for barging in here like that, but please understand... I've already lost him once. I can't do it again.
[Signless' bubble flickers, changes; it now shows a shifting blend on images, some light and happy, from when he and Psii were young, some from Vatheon, and always, in the background, a helmsman system, screaming into the vacuum of space.]

and then he says that and it all just fades out of her, and the spiders spin away from her thought bubble, letting it clear. There's a brief image of Darkleer, carrying her around with her leg in a cast when they were both children, and then it's gone again. ]
Stop assuming I'm doing something awful when I haven't done a thing, this is the second time. Keep it up and I might get a little angry!
[ Her tone is light, though. ]

[Signless caught that image of Darkleer, and his expression softens further. His own bubble shows soft colors and gentle lights now, peaceful and soothing.]
Please, though... if you want company in the future, just ask, okay? No need to use mind control.
no subject
[ Pouts a little. ]
He seemed fine with it. 's not like I made him stay.

Making people do things without their consent, even under the best of intentions, isn't a very good way to make friends, Mindfang. You'd be much better off just asking, and then you'd be sure those spending time with you are doing it because they want to, and for no other reason.

[Signless bends down and grabs his fallen hat, looking it over before putting it on his head.]
... mind if I enjoy a cocktail too?

[ If Signless had come in earlier, this would be a much less wobbly show as the Helmsman mixes up a one of those Tequila Sunsets with a quick application of psionics. ]
you guys I can't stop using these icons I have a problem
[Yeah, his buddy is drunk, he recognizes the wobbly psionics, and a memory flashes across Signless' thought bubble: he and Psii, barely nine sweeps old and wandering through the back alleys of some distant Alternian city, arms around each other and singing drunkenly. Dolorosa almost culled them when they finally came home.]
