SCENE: Moose's house.
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
limps out of Leo's room wearing his pajamas. He has a big obvious bandage on his neck that may need replacing
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Also out in the hall. First double takes because of the bandages and then because hey wait who the hell is this- "Uhh... are you okay?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
pauses and smiles weakly at Malicia. "I have seen better days, miss. I do hope I'm not in the way. I'm just parched."
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
wanders upstairs into the hall, pauses, "oh, you're awake. Do you feel any better?"
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"I'm missing one eye, not two, I can see you're more tha- oh, Leo, hey!" She waves. "Uh, so, are you one of Leo's friends..?"
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Uh, yeah. Mal, this is Ganymede. He um....just needed a place to stay for the night."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Nice to meet you, Ganymede, I'm Malicia. So. How about I go get you guys some water and let you decide how much you wanna say?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"... That is remarkably considerate of you, miss Mal. Thank you."
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Uh, yeah, thanks..." gives mal an awkward thumbs up, steps out of the stairway to let her pass
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Not my first rodeo." Finger guns and heads off to go get things.
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
turns back to "Gany once she's out of earshot. Ok, so uh...Mal moved in around the same time I did. She knows I'm hiding from something."
"she hasn't...really pried much since then,"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"oh... Very good of her. I had no immediate plans of hiding, actually. But... What if she does ask?"
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
slow breath in. "...I trust her, I think."
"I doubt the company is looking for you, and ture is...out of the picture. So you probably have less to hide."
rubs the back of his neck, "I...probably owe her an explanation about me eventually, too..."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Heavy footsteps on the landing below. He is not a subtle man.
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
ogCat:
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Comes back up with the water. "You guys got things figured out?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"um... Figured out enough, I suppose."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Follows Mal up the stairs. Blinks when he sees... three people, eyes slowly sliding between them like he's trying to work out where #3 came from.
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
nods, "uh, moose, this is that friend I told you about."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Good, good." Holds out the glasses. "Hey Moose."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
limps over. He's still got that nasty bandage on his neck. After accepting the glass with one hand, he holds out the other to moose to shake. "Ganymede. It's good to meet you."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Oh, the friend." Looks down at Gany, who is absolutely tiny next to him, but takes his hand and shakes it anyway. "Moose. You hurt?"
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
takes the other glass, quiet sip
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
gosh he's enormous. "Yes, actually. Leo helped me with some of it."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"You're gonna get an infection if you don't change that bandage." Fishes around in her pocket and pulls out the gauze she totally had the whole time and wasn't actually leaving for.
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Grunts. "Know how to do some, but Leo's probably better than me." Pauses, looks at Mal. "Or Mal. Probably anyone."
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"you managed pretty well, actually," blinks at mal
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"What? Anyone can see it's time to replace it." Avoiding eye contact a little.
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"n-no. I just...I mean, uh, thanks." Takes the gauze
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Not me without a mirror, I suppose."
sips his water. "I appreciate all the support." He takes a breath. "I wonder how long I need to leave the staples in."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"You got me there." She blinks "It's staples bad?"
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"A week or two."
"You want them in a bit longer if you're removing them yourself."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"it was probably only bad enough to justify stitches. But we didn't have a sterile needle. Or anesthesia."
Leo (Loth)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
nods, "we um, worked with what we had."
"kind of was in a rush..."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Oh. Did... did you use a regular stapler?"
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Did you use..." Pauses, scrunches his face up. "The stuff that burns when you apply it?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"we had iodine."
"But I appreciate the advice. And you have a very nice house, Moose."
"Perhaps we could... Go find a place to sit down?"
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Points downstairs. "Living room's got couches."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"and it was the right kind of stapler for a wound, Mal." He limps down the stairs. Having some definite trouble walking."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Very clearly considering just picking Gany up, but doesn't as he follows everyone downstairs. "You staying here?"
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Okay, okay." puts her phone away and follows them down.
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"I only needed the day. I actually have a house all to myself, I just... Didn't want to be there, for a little while."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Thats fine. If you wanna stop by and visit Leo, you can. Door's open."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"All to yourself? That sounds kinda lonely..."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Indeed. And I appreciate it, mr. Moose."
sighs almost contentedly. "That would be nice, though. Leo and I may as well have been pen pals up to now."
they've probably made it past the stairs by now. He waits to be led to wherever the living room is
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Living room is right at the bottom of the stairs, and Moose sits himself down with a whump.
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
She drops into another couch. "So, uh... if you're staying the night, do you and Leo have the same, uh..." thinking about it. "...Allergies?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
also limps over to a seat, searching for a coaster upon which to set his glass. "Oh, no food allergies. Though, I know plenty of others with allergies like his. I've acrually been meaning to share some recipes, but I've..." He sits down and winces, "never had the opportunity."
he finds a really awkward way to sit down that takes pressure off the hurty parts.
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Watches him for a second before getting up and handing him a couple of cushions. "Here, see if these can help. Could you share some of 'em with me?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"absolutely. I'll run some copies after I get home again."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Is staring at Gany pretty obviously. "You take some advil yet?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
looks at Moose for a moment. "I have not. Ah, by the way, mr. Moose, since I don't have a mirror handy, do you see anything strange about my ears?"
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Squints, looking for blood. "Nah. No blood on them or anything, so I guess you washed it off."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Cool. I've been wanting to cook more." Also mouths 'we still don't know' at Gany
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"oh. Appreciated. But... This is an odd question, do they look like they're a normal shape?" He wiggles them. He's trying real hard"
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Scrunches his face up, like he's not sure what the question is asking. "Yeah. They aren't missing pieces or anything like that. It's not like cauliflower ear or anything."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"... I see. Thank you."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"...You get cut in the ears too?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"not to my knowledge. It's... Hard to explain. I've had a difficult couple of days."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Waves his hand. "Don't have to explain it to me. Learned not to stick my nose into people's business when they get hurt."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
She just kinda shakes her head and gives Gany a sympathetic look. "You need any other dressing replaced?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"I don't believe the skin is broken anywhere else."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Okay, that's good. Anything else you need? Ice pack or something?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"If it would still help with the swelling, maybe..." He chokes up a little. "I apologize. You're both being so nice..." He takes a shaky breath and sips his water.
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Pauses. Then... casually reaches forward to pat Gany on the head, if Gany doesn't pull back.
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Yeah it'll help with that." She's scooting away to get it and not making eye contact when he says they're nice.
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
manages a smile at Moose
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Headpats for Gany, and then sits back. "I'll get some advil." Just gets up, wanders off to the kitchen to shuffle through his cupboards.
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Wiping her eye a little before folding up some ice in a dish cloth.
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
wipes his eyes when nobody's looking.
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Returns and drops some advil in Gany's hand. "Stuff's magic."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"oh, it is?" (Serious question)
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Comes back in with the ice pack and hands it over. "It sure works like it."
Quick head shake.
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
nods, then takes the pill. "Thank you. So, ah... How long have you two known Leo?"
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"A little more than half a year? We came to town around the same time"
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
This is a very hard questio nfor him, and he thinks hard about it. "...About the same, I think."
"Found him in an alley."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Just a little bit longer than I have, then."
"it was good of you to take him in, Mr. Moose."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Huh, I just kind of assumed you guys had known each other for a while."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"I could understand why you think that. We have a lot in common."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Wasn't going to leave some kind bleeidng out in an alley. Only an asshole would do that."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Good thing you're the one who found him."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
takes a breath. "It really is."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"He's... he has good people around him, now."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Did he not before? I never asked."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"I've tried not to pry, but I get the feeling. I mean, you saw him when he got here..."
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Looks pointedly towards Gany, who is also injured.
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Uhh... you don't have to say anything you don't want to."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"No, you were definitely on to something."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
She nods slowly. "Well... you got good people too. Beyond just Leo, now."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
smiles a little. "I can tell. I'll... need to invite you all over to dinner sometime. Once I have a few things straightened out."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"That would be fun." She thinks for a little, then grins. "What if we went back and forth each week? Like, one at your house, one at ours?"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Oh! That would be great! as long as I get to host on winter solstice."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"No arguments there." Grin is only getting bigger and bigger
Moose (Romi)
BOT
— 10/07/2021
just naturally assumed he isn't invited, and that Gany is talking about Mal and Leo. Just happily :uwu: while they talk.
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Solstices and equinoxes. I usually hosted a big party on each one. My birthday was always celebrated on the spring equinox, actually."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"As long as I get the last one in October"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"You drive a hard bargain, miss Mal."
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Bursts out laughing. "Aw, I try never to do that"
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"There's a lot I need to figure out before then...
Malicia Infernagony Satanopheles
BOT
— 10/07/2021
"Well... I dunno what kinda stuff you need to do, but if you need help with any of it..."
Ganymede Lind
BOT
— 10/07/2021
Is surprised. "Well... I'll be sure to ask you."
