[ guess who's standing just outside the clothing store!
it's this guy, wearing a black top hat that is just. impossibly tall. if you look up, it seems to go up forever and ever into the endless sky. it is a feat of impossible geometry.
anyway when he spots marcoh, he points at him. ]
You! Can you still see my halo?
[ the hat, for all its height, is not wide enough to cover the halo. ]
[ Just gives him motivation for trying to hide his halo. And hands him an equally wide-brimmed hat, but it's one of those that's made out like... the grass weave, do you know what I mean, so it's sturdier. Like a sunhat. At worst it falls more to the side like this.
You should be able to see in front with this Dan Gamer. ]
Marcoh is out here somewhere in the void but he doesn't look like he's in a good mood. He's got a little bit of sand on the low of his trousers, fresh from the beach. ]
[ he comes out of the water screaming violently, every limb pinwheeling like he's a raccoon that's just been plucked out of a dumpster, trying to get whatever the hell it is that's grabbed him.
he also: has an enormous black eye swelling shut! and bloody knuckles to boot. ]
anyway he is still just yelling incoherently, and also coughing from water inhalation, and choking from trying to do both at the same time, so it's pretty easy to wrangle him after a few seconds ]
Not until I know you aren't about to throw yourself out to the ocean.
[ Because that is the vibe he's getting from Dan. He does try to move him a bit so he gets less sand on himself... and maybe eventually just pick him up like a football so they can go somewhere less sandy if it doesn't look like it's working. ]
[ i want you to know that for a minute there i interpreted marcoh's mouth as a mustache and his lower lip underline as his mouth. frenchman jumpscare. ]
What's wrong is that I can't go five feet without being trapped or controlled in some way, including right now!
[ and also he's feeling a way about charlie's death that he doesn't know how to articulate ]
[ Tbh if he didn't have just enough self-restraint to not do it to someone that appears like a teen this would've def happened. As it is though he does just kind of.
Rear a fist back and sock the ground next to Dan's head so hard. It's definitely the face-breaking sort of force if he hit him there. ]

You! Can you still see my halo?
[ the hat, for all its height, is not wide enough to cover the halo. ]
no subject
[ He doesn't even hesitate, aside from stopping a moment to look at this like it's at least a little weird. ]
no subject
Alright, you, with me. You're my halo checker until I can find something to hide it.
no subject
Okay?
[ He supposes he isn't doing anything else right now. ]
Why are you trying to hide it?
no subject
[ starts rifling through hats. i have no idea how hats would be organized in a store.
he puts on this. ]
What about now?
[ let's just go ahead and say that unless indicated otherwise his halo shows through all of them ]
no subject
[ Danny your hot sauce time trauma. ]
How so?
no subject
[ throws that hat off to god knows where in the store and puts on another ] This one?
no subject
[ Looks at this hat. ]
I think you want something with height if you want to do this. This hides you more than the halo.
no subject
[ picks out a hat like this but with this design. ]
This must have the height and width covered now. [ RIGHT? BLEASE ]
no subject
[ Hello? ]
The curve at the top, like a bowl. The halo is flat.
Is covering most of it not enough? This seems like more trouble than ignoring it.
[ Says he with a giant ass ominous void halo looking down at everyone he talks to. ]
no subject
[ glares up at Marcoh. and by up, i mean UP. ]
Easy for you to say. Yours isn't half-bad.
no subject
no subject
Do you think so?
no subject
Seriously?
[ how can you be doubting how cool your halo is ]
no subject
[ Everyone else's is so pretty... why is his like that... ]
no subject
That's exactly what makes it better.
no subject
...
Maybe you can just offset it with other things. Clothes.
no subject

If it is the second then that black one should do. If it is the first I think people will not mind too much.

The one with the big brim.

...you're right.
[ god am i going to have to show up to mini-event in a stupidly huge floppy hat ]
no subject
Ay. You lose when you give in.

w0 friday
Marcoh is out here somewhere in the void but he doesn't look like he's in a good mood. He's got a little bit of sand on the low of his trousers, fresh from the beach. ]
...
no subject
he is in the shallows, bent over to duck his head in the water. there are lots of air bubbles around his head. ]
no subject
Marcoh looks up because he hears something strange and that turns into a swifter pace, grabbing Dan by the back of his shirt and pulling him out. ]
What -- ?
[ Heh heh... WATER... u doin'... ]
no subject
he also: has an enormous black eye swelling shut! and bloody knuckles to boot. ]
no subject
What is this?! Stop it!
[ CALM DOWN. Trying to wrangle him into less attacc mode. ]
no subject
anyway he is still just yelling incoherently, and also coughing from water inhalation, and choking from trying to do both at the same time, so it's pretty easy to wrangle him after a few seconds ]
no subject
I said stop!
[ Actually raising his voice and sharp this time as he wrestles Dan against the sand to pin him down. ]
no subject
Let me go!
no subject
[ Because that is the vibe he's getting from Dan. He does try to move him a bit so he gets less sand on himself... and maybe eventually just pick him up like a football so they can go somewhere less sandy if it doesn't look like it's working. ]

[ STILL FOOTBALLING HIM. ]

[ Why should there be any other reason? Dummy. ]
no subject
no subject
Kick all you like. I am not putting you down until you are calm.
no subject
no subject
[ Because god forbid he actually will Dan. He's crazy like that. ]
no subject
on the other hand, marco big and strong, and he weak and small
it makes him panic a little bit, actually ]
You can't just hold me down forever!!
no subject
no subject
What's wrong is that I can't go five feet without being trapped or controlled in some way, including right now!
[ and also he's feeling a way about charlie's death that he doesn't know how to articulate ]
no subject
There are better ways to let your anger out than screaming into the water. Are you really in control if you let it get the best of you?
no subject
Why does everyone want to police everything I do?! Even when it doesn't affect anyone else!
no subject
I do not wish to see you hurt in the wake of the... news... or even worse -- add another body to it.
no subject
What does it even matter, if I'm injured or not?
no subject
[ He frowns, just mildly easing up on him if it doesn't look like Dan's gonna go buckwild on him instantaneously. ]
Does there have to be one? I don't like seeing it. I think Charlie would intervene too.
no subject
Don't. Don't use cheap shots like that on me. She's not here so whatever she would do doesn't mean a single thing.
no subject
Don't say that about her.
no subject
Say what? It's fact. She's dead, and there's no use in trying to please someone who's too dead to notice or appreciate it!
no subject
[ A little grimly. ]
no subject
What, are you in denial about it? She's dead. So dead, she's not even in the afterlife anymore. Where I'm from, that's it. Gone forever.
And that means, there's not a damn thing left of her to grasp onto, except for whatever you make up to pretend like she ever meant anything!
[ please punch him in the face and give him another black eye. let him show up to trial completely blind. ]
no subject
Rear a fist back and sock the ground next to Dan's head so hard. It's definitely the face-breaking sort of force if he hit him there. ]
no subject
Do you think Charlie would like knowing you almost shattered my skull?
no subject
No, she wouldn't.
[ He's going to pick him up by the scruff, they're going somewhere else whether Dan (Brimstone) likes it or not. ]
w0, saturday
You're the one who voted for me, aren't you?
no subject
No.
no subject
...whatever. In the end you got a vote too.
no subject
[ Looking at Dan... well. ]
Why do you think I voted you?
no subject
Do you think I voted for you?
no subject

Plus, I was goading you yesterday.
no subject

If the bars are to be believed, I think... you and I both got one each. Jiaoqiu got two.
And Jing got the rest.
[ Me like do I really want to commit to calling him Jing for the rest of the game until I'm corrected. I guess so. ]
no subject
no subject
That might be yours.
no subject
no subject
You are... better now?
no subject
no subject
no subject
...and I only have so much energy.
no subject
[ Help he tuckered himself out. ]
no subject
[ he really did. now he just looks exhausted and dead (ha) on his feet. he no longer has the spite and anger fueling him like before. ]
no subject
Did you eat?
[ Jiaoqiu is probably in no state to watch over Dan. ]
no subject
[ oh god. is marcoh offering. ]
no subject
[ Well he won't force him to eat at fist point but. He's looking at Dan like he'd like him to get something. ]
no subject
no subject
[ What are those... ]
no subject
no subject
If that's what you like.
[ It doesn't sound unhealthy he supposes. ]
no subject

no subject
You have to eat something.
[ You can't just not eat because you don't like food!! Whatever that means!! ]
Drinks?
[ Get into that protein smoothie life, Dan. ]
no subject
Drinks are even worse.
[ nah he's gonna eat that protein powder straight ]
no subject
[ He truly could not fathom being this way but he supposes. ]
As long as you are not starving yourself, or dying of thirst. Have your "cheerios".
