* [Eight stares up at Flaps in silence while he speaks. His expression is…fairly unreadable, but its clearly made some sort of impact, because he flinches away from the other just slightly.

He doesn’t move, nor speak for a good moment or so after he finishes his speech, staring vacantly at the ground, thinking on his words.

When he does reply, he’s far quieter than he was before.]

* …I don’t know.

* I mostly expected not to make it in the first place?
* I’ve been alone long enough already. I’m sort of used to it at this point anyway.

* [He visibly winces at something, glancing to the side and muttering under his breath.

Null has sat up at this point, watching from a distance]

* [He huffs out a long, slow sigh….. And his expression softens a bit.]

* If you do make it, I do hope you make a point to try and fix the wrongs you’ve done on everyone. You’ve made an absolute mess for way too many people and it wasn’t needed.

* I’m not about to sit here and tell you not to do what you’ve been working towards – god knows you’re too far gone for that – but the damage you’ve done to everyone else is something that you need to go about repairing. Or at least make the effort.

* If you DO make that effort – then you have a safe place here. If nothing comes about, though, you won’t be welcome here again.

* gF G HH– !

* [Rest in fuckin’ pieces.]

* [ There’s a loud CRACK as Flaps’ fist connects with the other fragments’ face. Eight is duly knocked right onto his ass, on the floor, clutching the exposed part of his face.
Goddamn, the fucker can punch hard.

He’s still reeling from the swing when Flaps continues talking, and stares blearily up at him with the question.]

Not exactly the start he had been expecting to some sort of lecture, but okay.]

* …C-Clear,

* Good.

* [He takes a moment – taking a slow breath to steady himself, and then he glowers down at Eight.]

* Do you even – do you know how many people are being affected by this whole mess? Just, you know, just to start. You’ve pretty much been singlehandedly been pulling the entire goddamn Void into your problem. Over ONE PERSON! One! That’s it! It’s just one person!

* But all you’ve been doing is stepping on others, doing whatever the hell you want with them – including myself, don’t you think for a second that I’ve forgotten that little trick you intended to pull on me – and all for what. To get back at ONE. FUCKING. PERSON.

* [He’s pacing now. Back and forth, a couple steps at a time, his tail lashing at the ground furiously.]

* Like – do you even realize how this is going to turn out? Sure, he’ll be gone, great for you, fantastic, whatever – you’ll be alone. And then what, huh? You’ll have maybe one person in the entire void who you haven’t crossed or shit on – or, hell, you know, with your track record, I’m willing to bet you’ve been fucking with him too! It wouldn’t surprise me!

* So – I want you, to tell me. What do you think is gonna happen after this? For you? Because all I’m seeing right now is you being almost, if not COMPLETELY alone again, and then you’re back to square one with absolutely nothing to do. No one to turn to. No one who’s going to be willing to risk their necks to help you again.

* MMM. HE WOULD BE.
* HE HASN’T BEEN OFF MY BACK ABOUT IT SINCE HE FOUND OUT THAT TWO WAS MINE.

* [Eight glances back at him with the question, blinking just a tad nervously.]

* …?
* SURE, I SUPPOSE SO?
* AS LONG AS IT IS QUICK.

* [He was already fairly prepared to have himself a lecture, so Flaps asking isn’t too much of a surprise. He nods, stopping beside him, making another glance or two towards the fluffy lump in the grass.

Said fluffy lump opens one eye under all his fur, watching the two skeletons in silence.
…Aside from the occassional comically fake snore.]

* [Ohh, Eight. You poor fool. Flaps makes sure to wind up his shot out of Eight’s line of sight – as soon as he’s fully facing Flaps, he gets socked right in the jaw, hard. Hopefully hard enough to knock him on his ass, at the very least. He looks mad.]

* THAT’S for all the goddamn shit you’ve been putting people through. I hope you’re damn well ready to sit here and listen to me because you are not going ANYWHERE until you do. Are we clear?

lastinggaster:

* I THINK…ABOUT…THREE…?
* THERE ARE THREE OTHERS BACK AT MY LAB, THOUGH, SO I SUPPOSE THAT SHOULD BE ALL BUT NULL. AND TWO.
* I’M FETCHING HIM FROM GEIST AFTER THIS.

* [Oh that sure is…a dragon. Has that always been there? He dosent remember.
Doesn’t care to, either.
Admittedly though, the garden is nice. He almost wishes that he could stay, where it’s nice and quiet…

Null himself is curled up comfortably in the grass, looking fairly out out place upon the green, like a big dark hill;
A hill that is snoring quietly.
And leaving fur all over the floor.]

* …WELL, AT LEAST HE’S NOT HARD TO FIND…

* oh? i had almost forgotten that geist had him, hah. i bet he’ll be pretty relieved.

* [Ah, that motherfucker. What a tool. Loafing around in the grass… But Flaps stops before they get there, and turns around.]

* hey, so, uh. Before you go take him and do whatever you gotta do – could i have a word with you, really quick?

* [He’s stopped so that Null’s definitely at least within earshot.]

* YES. GOOD TO KNOW HE’S BEEN WELL BEHAVED…BUT THEN AGAIN, HE’S THE NICEST OF THEM.
* REALLY THE ONLY ONE I MIGHT SAY I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING AGAIN…

* [This is…odd, for Flaps, certainly, but he can see that he’s tired. He’ll try to get out of his metaphorical hair as soon as he gets the chance.

Eight follows him calmly towards the dome, keeping his pace up with the other’s.]

* mm. yeah.

* need that good influence with all the others in there, yeah? how many of them have you found so far?

* [Into the dome they go! It seems mostly empty – save for the Huge Bone Dragon curled around the outside – but they aren’t bothering anyone. It’s pretty peaceful out here, and well-kept. A good place for anyone to hang out long term, for sure.]

lastinggaster:

* …FLAPS.

* YES. IT’S BEEN A WHILE,
* …THANK YOU.

* [Eight nods in thanks and heads inside, looking…just a tad nervous. Uh. probably a lot nervous, actually.

He took note of how quiet it was, though…that was preferable, really. never really liked crowds.

It would be…much easier to talk.]

* [Once Eight passes him, he closes the door and follows along – but he doesn’t make a beeline for the couch pit. He’s headed to the dome, it seems.]

* I’m assuming you’re here to get Null, then? He’s been keeping to himself out in the dome.

* [He’s being fairly straight to the point about all this. A bit unusual for him, but he’s exhausted. The faster this is over and done with, the faster he can get back to trying to relax.]

* [ About damn time. Eight heaves himself through the void towards Flaps’ place, a tired, but focused expression creasing his face.

He’d collected a few of his fragments by now, but Null was one of the few left. Shame it had to be this guy in particular.

He’d a bad feeling about this, considering that their last talk alone had been…well.
Having been found out on his original plan to use said fragment for his little ‘project’.

Eight had a hunch that he wasn’t likely to approve much of this new idea, either.
Still, it had to to be done. He needed all One-to-Null, and to do that, he had no choice but to come visit Flaps.

He walks up to the closest semblance of an entrance he can find, and knocks heavily on the door.]

* HELLO…?

* [The home seems… Far more inactive than it typically had been for some time. Aside from the soft creaking of the dock held above the home, there isn’t any sound of movement for a minute or so…]

* [But eventually, there’s a groan, some shuffling. Someone’s up! And they come to the door.]

* [Hello, Flaps. He sure looks tired… But he pauses after opening that door, looking Eight up and down briefly. Hm.]

* hey, eight. long time no see, huh? come on in.

* [He steps off to the side to allow the other fragment to enter, if he wished. The inside of the house seems just as oddly quiet.. Definitely a far bit less hectic than it had recently been.]
