...

(starts taking off his pants.)

[eyeforaneye]

... stop.

[liquidate]

What if someone questioned the existence of your dick? Wouldn't you wanna prove 'em wrong?!

[eyeforaneye]

... no? Perhaps.

[ A longer pause. ]

No. [ Definitively this time. ] I'll vouch for its existence on your behalf. Leave your clothes on.

[liquidate]

But Gladio took his off and you didn't say anything then!

[eyeforaneye]

That was for research.

[liquidate]

This is for Reaper's research.

[eyeforaneye]

Reaper doesn't matter.

[liquidate]

(and by process of elimination, surely that means that he matters.)

...

Maybe later, then.

[hellshot]

I don't need THAT kind of research.

I don't care if anyone's junk is hypothetical or not.

Can we move on here.

[eyeforaneye]

It's real. All of his genitals are there and real.

Like I said, I'm vouching for him whether you want to hear it or not.

[hellshot]

Stop.


Stop, I know.

When I first met him, he broke into my quarters naked.

I know.

[eyeforaneye]

[ JUST LOOKS AT SUIGETSU... ]

I see. [ And yet he takes it incredibly in stride. This is not surprising to learn. ]

[liquidate]

(opens mouth to dispute this slander.

closes it.

makes sense...)

[leatherdaddy]

[ WOW IT WAS JUST HIS SHIRT ]

Oi! Put your damn pants on or I'm tossing your ass in the river to sober up!

[liquidate]

...

(TRYING TO PULL HIS PANTS OFF FASTER?????)

That sounds awesome, let's gooooo!

[finethanks]

[Eichi picks up some pebbles and sticks and chucks them at Suigetsu... Most of them miss.]

No one here wants to see something as startling as that.

[liquidate]

(hand whipping up to catch one that was aimed to hit, other hand on the hem of his pants.

turns head to STARE AT HIM WIDE-EYED, teeth baring for a not-so-subtle threat this time.)

The next thing you throw is gonna be your new eye!

(there is only SO MUCH OF THIS HE CAN TAKE.)

[eyeforaneye]

[ He thinks to say that there's been too much imbibing for anyone to be able to perform a successful eye transplant right now, but luckily the threat catches up to him.

And it's at least the third one tonight. ]

... I won't use words next time in order to dissuade you. This is enough, Suigetsu; ignore him.

[finethanks]

[ he's so drunk and done ]

It's me who's had to ignore this for far too long. Who do you think I am? I'm tired of these false niceties, so keep your pants on and move away from me.

[leatherdaddy]

[ Gladio watches the exchange, which has gone a bit too violent for his tastes. A little now and again from this rambunctious group is okay, but this is getting out of hand. ]

Hey. Do I need to start cuttin' you guys off?

[ Looking at you, Suigetsu and Eichi. Appreciation to Sasuke for stepping in (and not for the first time) will have to wait until later. ]

[liquidate]

(looking from eichi to sasuke, holding the stare with a sharp sniff, before jerking into a turn and walking off.

he's quite obviously headed for the lake to get away from these people.)

[eyeforaneye]

[ Sasuke watches quietly as Suigetsu leaves, a result he decides is the best they could've expected. The other... well. That piercing stare goes from Gladio to Eichi, now. ]

"Cutting people off" should have happened a while ago. More importantly...

Are you interested in dying, Tenshouin? You continue to provoke someone you shouldn't be stupid enough to believe won't harm you. Were it not for others here you wouldn't still be alive, and it isn't my responsibility to always watch out for you.

[finethanks]

I won't allow the simple fear of death to stop me from saying what I believe. Only fools rely on others without expecting to give anything in return. I haven't given you anything, so you owe me nothing. That's how it works, isn't it? You've already stood up for me more than I expected.

[He's so serious now, but at least he's not going after Suigetsu!! He's not even looking at Sasuke now, moving to relax more where he's sitting.] Rather than focusing on my "death wish," why don't you address his sensitivity? If he's going to react to every little comment I make, then I wonder if he should really be in public after all~.

later that night...

[eyeforaneye]

[ Beer bottles are avoided as Sasuke navigates through the camp, quiet as expected and resisting an urge to tidy up the garbage on his way. It can wait. Especially since his vision is still duller than he'd like, his steps a little less sure.

Nonetheless he makes his way to the lake in the early hours of the morning, knowing his old teammate well enough to sniff him out. ]

... Suigetsu. [ Pausing when he reaches the bank, waiting. ]
