Day 142, post-catquest

[formaliteas]

[Jaguar is sprawled where the new soul pod (now mirror pod) room is in the clock tower, lightly dozing with an arm over his eyes.]

[ Hello Jag what are you doing here? He doesn't want to wake you but...this isn't a place for sleeping. ]

Didn't make it back to your room?

[formaliteas]

[He jerks awake at the first footstep, wild-eyed and prepared to fight or flee, relaxing only after taking a full moment to recognize Panther.]

....

The Cat dorm isn't safe, and I can't impose on Barghest or Henwen too much.

[nodo]

[ He'll get closer but still keep a comfortable distance between them. ]

So then you've taken to sleeping out here?

Re: Day 142, post-catquest

[formaliteas]

[Rubs at his eyes, wincing. Hangovers are unkind. Then he shrugs.]

It's out of the way.

Re: Day 142, post-catquest

[ You've lost control of your life Jag. ]

There are couches you could have slept on at the very least then.

You haven't been taking this well, have you?

Re: Day 142, post-catquest

[formaliteas]

[2REAL]

Couches can be found.

[....puts an arm back over his eyes. There's the impulse to lie, but it's brief.]

No.

[nodo]

[ Well, here comes unofficial current team mom. ]

I would not have pegged you the sort to get lost like this.

[ He'll flop down next to him. There's no judging here, not really. ]

I visited Takshaka; one of the members of that team wanted to see you.

[withmyownfists]

[ She's been looking for him everywhere. And this was pretty much basically the last place she thought to look, but THERE HE IS, sleeping like a baby.

. . .

He smells like he did during the quest, too. Not a good sign. ]

Jaguar?

Re: Day 142, post-catquest

[formaliteas]

[Like an easily awakened baby, since he bolts upright before she even speaks, looking like he's expecting to be murdered.

The booze smell isn't to be contested, though. He had a fourth drink when off on his own.]

-Magenta Roc?

[withmyownfists]

[ she keeps her distance, considering how panicked he looks. ]

Yeah, that's--It's just me, Jaguar.

. . .

What are you doing here, Jaguar?

[formaliteas]

[I THOUGHT YOU CAME TO KILL ME FOR A SECOND]

....it's quiet down here.

[withmyownfists]

[ you need the quiet because you have a hangover, that's it, isn't it Jaguar? normally she'd be judging you so hard right now Jag
but
you've been through some stuff

she kneels down to get on his level ]

. . . You don't really want to be down here, though, do you?

[formaliteas]

[Partly hangover, partly to be miserable over my ruined life in private.]

By comparison, such things are rather inconsequential.

[He puts the arm back over his eyes.]

[withmyownfists]

. . . Why don't you come back with me to Takshaka? It would be more comfortable than you staying here.

[formaliteas]

No, thank you. This is suitable enough.

[withmyownfists]

You can't really want to stay in the clock tower though.

[formaliteas]

It's easier on me.

[withmyownfists]

How can this be easier for you? There's nothing here, Jaguar--no bed, no kitchen, no friends...

. . .

You can't avoid us all forever, you know.

[formaliteas]

There's privacy.

[continuing RIGHT ON like she hadn't said that second thing]

[withmyownfists]

. . .

I'm not sure it's such a good idea to leave you alone right now, Jaguar.

[formaliteas]

Then stay if you want, but please be quiet.

/2

[withmyownfists]

dammit jag you have a hangover
THIS IS WHY WE TOLD YOU NOT TO DRINK SO MUCH

[withmyownfists]

I can be quiet.


[ for about two minutes ]

You know, there really are other places that are quiet that would be more comfortable than here.

[formaliteas]

[he manufactures an exaggerated snore]
