[ 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 ]

he is in the shallows, bent over to duck his head in the water. there are lots of air bubbles around his head. ]

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. ]

[ Actually raising his voice and sharp this time as he wrestles Dan against the sand to pin him down. ]

Let me go!

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!

I do not wish to see you hurt in the wake of the... news... or even worse -- add another body to it.
no subject

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
