ohthehumanities | catchall; wolfwood

[(guy who knows nothing about trigun) So this is what it means to be a plant

No okay--there's a pulse of curiosity at the lack of emotion from Wolfwood, but more than anything, he's just relieved, grateful that Wolfwood's willing to ignore his own mess. The least he can do is return the favor, so he clears his throat and lifts his chin.]

I hope you mean the salon or the library and not that awful house.

Imagine that.

[ There is a faint aura of amusement now, the idea of Wolfwood just DUNKING Kaveh by being like you look like you belong in the serial killer house. ]

I meant the new place in general, yeah. The stores, salon.

Looks like you've been getting right into it.

[ Looking at his nails. ]

[It would've been so funny and Kaveh would've given him a 5-page essay about how wrong he is, because at least he has confidence in his looks and his work. But at least that adds a little pleased hum over the top of all his constant negativity.]

Well, it's the next best thing besides drowning your sorrows, I've found, and I'm not meeting Kiichi to take care of that until later. [Is this a joke? Who's to say.] And art comes in many forms, like I said before. Besides, Nahida wanted to practice. [He dismisses Mehrak's projection, then wiggles one of his fingers--it's got flowers on it instead of feathers, like the others.

Eyeballing Wolfwood as he drinks his milkshake... does he look freshly styled... do his hands look moisturized...]

Have you been in yet?

You've been talking about drinks for two weeks, it's about high time isn't it?

[ He does not. He looks the way he's always done. Hygiened, but no particular extra effort and still in his ill-fitting fit. ]

Nah, I'm not really a vanity kind of guy.

I was holding out for a liquor store, but after last week, I think I deserve a vice or two.

[And between buying some booze from the reapers or hitting up someone to drug-poison him, his preference is being a lush, even if it's not free.]

Are you sure you don't want to give it a try? You might as well, it's free. And it feels nice. [(in the tone of MCDONALDS) Makeover! Makeover! Makeover!

No okay, the vibes aren't that pushy. But they are curious and a little hopeful--mild enough that it's clear he'll back off if Wolfwood's genuinely not interested.]

So what you mean is, you were hoping you wouldn't have to pay for the drinks.

[ What are the chances they're going to get nice alcohol for free... the Reapers have a market going on...

He's clearly not that super-enthused, but he does thumb at his fringe a little, pretty grown out because from his canonpoint he definitely wouldn't have been getting nice regular haircuts and it's also entering third week here beyond that. ]

Guess a haircut wouldn't be bad.

Of course! [This is the tone and face of a spoiled man.

But he brightens at the permission; his vibes do, too, though it's more mellow than his expression would make it seem, and it doesn't really dim the rest of it, which is just a steady constant. Still, he throws his milkshake in a nearby trashcan and reaches for Wolfwood's wrist to drag him in. Mehrak floats along with a little ^_^ face.]

You know, a manicure's really just a hand massage if you don't put any color on. [He's pushing his luck]

[ He finds it amusing, really. He doesn't understand being rich or spoiled but he's not intrinsically constantly EAT THE RICH. Rich people pay him, so they've got some uses, see.

Also help sir your milkshake. He's just dragged in, whoa hey. ]

I'll pass on people touching my hands for that long.

[ LIKE HE DIDN'T JUST GO THROUGH TWO TOUCH WEEKS OF NONSTOP HANDHOLDING ]

[The funniest part is that Kaveh is very much eat the rich, which is why he spends someone else's money (no) (kind of)

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT okay that's fair yeah. The red string thing got super awkward toward the end there so Kaveh will graciously accept this. I actually don't know if this salon has shadow people doing the work or if we do it ourselves or both??? Imagine Vash gets a job at this salon too]

Alright, that's fair enough. But you could do with some new clothes. There are a couple in the new store that might suit you. [What if we put Wolfwood in a leather jacket and then he and Buzen can perform Greased Lightnin']

[ I literally have no clue what is going on between Kaveh and Alhaitham, it's so funny. Also stop not this assignment of Vash getting every job imaginable in this city. ]

My clothes are fine, got a change from the warehouse makeover and everything.

[ HE'S JUST NOT THAT ENTHUSED ABOUT PAYING MONEY UNTIL HE NEEDS IT. Sometimes you're poor and are picky about what you actually spend money on. ]

[(smiling_face_with_tear)

also this is the face of a man who is debating taking matters into his own hands]

[ Looking at him. He sees your hamster wheel brain turning. ]

[smiles innocently]

[ Puts his heels against the ground so Kaveh can't pull him anymore. ]

Oi, oi.. what's with that look on your face...

Nothing! Just doing a little math.

[HAS HE EVER DONE ANYTHING UNTRUSTWORTHY gosh

Well actually he's about to right now because coin flip said so, which means Wolfwood digs his heels in and Kaveh just very abruptly

Tries to kabedon him

Except 1. There's a 10cm difference between them 2. Kaveh's emotions are just ???????? and 3. There's no 壁 to ドン where they're at, so he's basically just lurching forward with one arm out]

[ Well, congrats on leaning in on his tits I guess.

There's a flash of alarm, and he instinctively swerves and sidesteps Kaveh.

SECOND! THE SECOND HAPPY BLOND HIDING SECRET DEPRESSION TO ATTEMPT TO KABEDON HIM TODAY! ]

[HE JUST WANTED A MILKSHAKE IS THAT SUCH A CRIME

I'm sure he'd appreciate the booba except yeah he's just eating shit I don't even have to roll for it. Goodbye Kaveh.]

Ow--!

[Mehrak hovers in the doorway and says "beep boop 😟"]

[ IF YOU'RE PAYING FIVE DOLLARS FOR IT also DW is dying help me Pixi... my Kaveh tags...

MAYBE ]

Jesus -- sorry?!

[ The emotions wafting off of him are bafflement and surprise, and a little bit of apologetic combined with 'wtf'. He doesn't think he's in the wrong necessarily when it looks like he just dodged Kaveh trying to grab at him, but.

Hmm.

Something about this is giving him a feeling of deja vu. ]

Are you okay?

[DREAMWIDTH NO!!!! I REFUSE TO NOT HAVE LOWE CR THIS GAME SHAKES DENISE LIKE A TIN CAN

But it's fine. At least his cloud of mental illness is currently overshadowed by embarrassment and confusion as he pushes himself back up.]

Ugh... I'm fine, sorry. I have no idea what that was about. [He didn't eat anything weird last week so he's like ??????]

[ Sir your mental illness.

He pauses a moment and brainblasts using his powers of observation.

... ]

You bought the damn milkshake, didn't you.

[Sometimes you (static noises) and then you just live like that forever.

But also he's grumbling as he gets to his feet.]

What? The one I just finished? [give him a minute

...

...

...

okay he got there]

...Oh. That's what you all meant in trial.

[ABOUT FOOD CURSES... HE LOOKS AT THE TRASH CAN IN BETRAYAL]

Why did you even buy the milkshake if you didn't know it did weird shit?!

[ BRINGS A HAND DOWN ON HIS SHOULDER AND BARELY RESTRAINS HIMSELF FROM SHAKING HIM A LITTLE YOU REALLY ARE LIKE VASH YOU LITTLE SHIT ]

[HELP LMFDSKJHGK HE'S JUST LIKE FLAILS DEFENSIVELY (emotionally)]

I wanted something new! I'm sick of the restaurant food! How was I supposed to know it was cursed?!

You didn't hear from a single person what the hell was up with those hot dogs last week? Even though little red bought four of them!

[ WHERE WERE YOU, UNDER A ROCK!! ]

[LISTEN!!!!]

Yeah, but--those were the hot dogs!! I didn't know it would be for anything!

[All he took from the cursed food talk in trial is that Vashwood are a couple and Fei Du had to rhyme ACTUALLY NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT I CAN'T REMEMBER IF ANYONE CONFIRMED THAT LOVE ARROWS CAME FROM FOOD wow maybe he doesn't know after all]
