Someone Isn't Happy

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He's on the phone with his mun.]

Wow.

ARE YOU SERIOUS.

WOW.

You seriously, want me to go through with this-HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD ME IN YOUR HEADSPACE?! AND YOU'RE LETTING ME GO THROUGH, BRAINWASH AND TORTURE?!!

WHAT. THE FLYING. FUCK?!!!

[Slams the phone down and stomps into the bar. Growls as he orders something hard and vodka-y.]

Comments

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Oh hi, new guy who's her superhero self's new boyfriend. Pinkie the pony's just gonna zip over and see what's wrong.]

You okay, Arthur?

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Sees Pinkie as he glanced at her while drinking down a whole shot. He brushed his fingers through his hair as he shook his head.]

No...

No I'm really not.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[Hoo boy, hitting the hard stuff, eh?

Pinkie turns to the bartender.]

Two Chocobo smoothies, Heartbreaker size, Dominic.

[She turns to Arthur.]

Ice cream headaches go away a LOT faster than hangover headaches.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Dominic nodded sympathetically as he prepared the drinks for the two. Arthur looks over at Pinkie with a small smile and a sigh.]

Thanks Pinks.

...

[Looks down.]

Sorry you're seeing me like this.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She pats his forearm with her hoof.] Hey, it's okay. Munny doesn't really like putting me through the SUPER hardcore sad stuff, but I understand how hard it can be.]

[Yeah, the mun prefers to go for more raw feels.]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur gave a nod.]

That's good, I don't want anything bad to happen to you either.

[spontaneouscombustion]

[She shakes her head.]

Or to you. Although I'm KINDA worried about how that love triangle's gonna work out.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[He bites his bottom lip.]

Yea...

My mun did say she wants to try and get me to meet Kovu on friendly terms if possible so...

[Sips the ice cream drink as he looked to the side.]

That might be a good thing right?

[spontaneouscombustion]

Maybe. Then again, this IS Kovu. He threatened to set me on fire once just because I was a human.

[sciencesmash]

Welcome to being a Superhero, Lee, it's a wild ride.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Groans as he rubs his forehead.]

Is this why Tony drinks so much? Because I think I understand now.

[sciencesmash]

One of the myriad reasons.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a sigh.]

Bruce...

I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared about what's going to happen to me.

[sciencesmash]

I wish I could tell you its going to be okay, but... but I'm sorry, it won't.

Do you know how much bullshit the Hulk has gone through? Roleplayers aren't that different from comic book writers, when you get right down to it.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Arthur looks down with an awfully melancholic expression.]

... I believe you.

[sciencesmash]

The best you can do is bounce back from the situation. Some people break you because they can, others break you so they can build you back up again, hopefully better than new.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a soft smile.]

I think all I can hope now is that it's the second half...

Thanks Bruce.

[punsofiron]

[Liz recognizes that face. She had that face a lot when she was in Kon Ran.

She waves to Dominic and passes him a few dollars.] On me. Get me one too.

[She then turns to Arthur.] Welcome to the jungle, my friend.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[After he slugged down one drink. He gave a nod to Liz in thanks, with a sigh.

Glances back at her.]

They've got fun and games.

...

And they suck.

[punsofiron]

That they do. That they do. I could show you the scars I got from the last game she threw me in, but that's not exactly the height of polite bar conversation.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Holds up his hand.]

No no, I believe you.

You don't have to.

[Gives a sigh as he leaned forward.]

But fuck man, this is just... sadistic!

[punsofiron]

No kidding. I heard at least some of that.

...if you want, we could head out back and I'll let you throw my dice around. I can't guarantee high hits but it's cathartic.

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Looks over at her.]

Maybe after a couple of drinks we can do that, it'll at least keep me distracted.

[He rubbed his emerald pendant as he looked to the side.]

... I just... I'm scared Liz.

Not much of the pain that I'm going to have but it's more... I don't know what's going to become of me afterwards.

[punsofiron]

Well...the least I can offer is that for all the struggles they make you go through, muns tend to prefer a happy ending. Save for a few non-canon memes.

[Hesitantly reaches over to pat his shoulder]

[hisheadintheclouds]

[Gives a sigh.]

She did say I'm gonna snap out of the brainwash afterwards. And the whole torture thing was suppose to be help me "learn and grow".

[Looks down.]

I still don't like it.

Being the next King Kong is not my list of things to experience.
