10 △ VIDEO; looking fine and augmented

[ Considering Adam spent the last two weeks as his old self, that is, the person he was before this and that incident, he takes it remarkably well. The memory of actual, feeling hands is still fresh in his mind, although he hadn't even been able to appreciate it much due to it having been nothing special at the time. It's easier to compare now, however—flesh to metal, feeling to unfeeling, weak to powerful. And for once, the lingering emotion of something having been taken from him against his will doesn't flare up again.

It's different. Much like a disabled person revisits the memory and place where everything happened and changed to maybe, finally, find some closure.

Things happen.

You don't always get a say in it. All you can do is deal, adapt and progress, because ultimately, that's what life has always been about. ]

***

I see everyone's quick to mope or make apologies. Excuse me if I refrain from joining your ranks this time, seeing as I came out of this with a few cute girls, free meals and a videogame—all things I didn't ask for, but I'm still not sharing. The game, maybe, if you ask nicely, but it's somewhat dated. So unless you can appreciate classics, don't even bother.

[ HI everyone did you miss this butt he's sure you did. ]

Oh, and here's your general PSA, directed at no one in particular, especially not the guys around the precinct: get into the habits of locking your tablets if you're just gonna leave 'em lying around. The next time I find one I'm gonna post the entirety of its porn folder to the network tagged with your name. And before you go, oh, that silly Adam Jensen, of course my porn folder is locked and hidden slash I'm an innocent virgin who doesn't even have a porn folder, honest--

Don't make the mistake of thinking that's gonna stop me.

[ Private to Samus ]

You free tonight?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm pretty hot shit, yeah. Mostly when it comes to other things, though, that actually require you to get off your butt once in a while.

[ He's got a bit of skill and a lot more when it comes to hacking thanks to his augmentatons, but it's really not his favorite pastime. ]

And just for you being a little shit, I think I should make that game publically available on the network. Diplomacy seems to be a foreign concept on your planet, yes?

yeah ii know thiing2 liike runniing around and 2hootiing thiing2 and whatever.
ii wa2 there remember.
you're one iin a miilliion.

no.
iit'2 well known.
our Empre22 wa2 known two be an expert on diiplomacy.

and oh noooo.
don't do THAT you'll ruiin my 2ceme COMPLETELY iif you do THAT!!

[ what kind of obnoxious typing quirk troll shit is that anyway. even his own typing wasn that bad when he was 14 and trying to be cool. god. ]

Also called 'getting shit done'. And fyi, I could have probably done your job back there just as well. So cool it and be civil, because you really do not want to piss me off today. I've been known to break people's faces when they piss me off, and it's generally not a pleasant experience to be on the receiving end of that.

Do you feel like continuing or shall we talk diplomacy now?

ii'd liike two 2ee you even try.
you have gun2 and fii2t2 and what el2e guy.
can you 2piit fiire, 2hoot la2er2 from your eye2?
iif not, ii'm not iimpre22ed.

of cour2e ii'm contiinuiing.
thii2 ii2 the mo2t entertaiiniing thiing ii've done all day.

I'm not human.

[ ... Wait where did that come from. ]

My body isn't. And too fucking bad I'm not a circus horse either, so you're not getting a free show.

Your days must be pretty boring if you consider this entertaining. As for me, I consider these negotiations failed, then.

let'2 giive the guy an award!
he 2ay2 he'2 not human, to the aliien, a2 iif that ii2 meant two be iimpre22iive!
ii don't care iif you're giiviing a 2how or not, ii wouldn't go even iif iit wa2 free.

my day2 are boriing.
ii'm 2tuck dealiing wiith iidiiot2 all day.
the be2t ii can do ii2 pii22 them off enough two ruiin theiir day even further.
2o thii2 ii2 2tiill a viictory for me.

and btw ii never 2aiid ii wa2 great at diiplomacy.

[ why is he even bothering-- ]

I am, though. Seems like you're lucky.

[ and then, he apparently disconnects.

diplomacy is not the only thing adam's great at! he's also great at intel gathering, tracking down people, and sneaking into places he shouldn't be.

so wherever sollux currently is, he should probably start worrying, because Adam's threats are seldom idle. ]

lame.

[The thing is, Sollux is also very much capable of the same things. But he's also more bark than bite. While he won't be the one to start things here, if Adam does, he won't hesitate and equal retaliation. Potentially more of the embarrassing with photoshops kind.

And this won't be the first time he's had someone sneak into his room for the sake of trying to scare him and/or beat him up.]

[ ooc: ok at this point I have to say/ask: i endorse any and all photoshop retaliation jsyk or retaliation in general ALSO, are you okay with this/how okay are you with uh

adam punching a hole into your wall

because he does that ]

[ooc: lmfao yes, but... which one... like the wall on the outside of the collective rooms, or does he go into the apartment and find sollux's specific room and punch that wall. Because he's already... got a hole through it. And his door is missing.

YEAH SOLLUX ROOMS WITH A GUY WHO HAS A HABIT OF JUST DESTROYING PROPERTY CASUALLY.]

[ ...... you guys

WELL IN THAT CASE IM GUESSING THE ONE OUTSIDE THE ROOMS CAUSE A GUY GOTTA LET HIMSELF IN RIGHT

OR JUST KNOCK REALLY LOUDLY I GUESS.... ]

[Well, if he knocks.

Sollux will answer. And then, prepared to be faced with all 5 feet of his pubescent, lisping fury.]

[ Sounds like an epic batttle.

But yes, Adam will be knocking, indeed. It takes him mere minutes to find out the room number--206--and only a couple more to arrive at the transport building. He briefly debates how he's gonna let himself in, and settles for the quickest method after a quick scan of the apartment.

Using the door is totally for losers so he PUNCHES THE FUCKING WALL OKAY.

Hi asshole. ]

[Well, he definitely hears that. Sollux rolls his office chair to the edge of his room, to which he can see the front wall of the apartment just. Hole punched in it. Sollux's eye twitches in annoyance, and he adjusts his glasses, stepping out of his room.]

Oh, I'm sure you feel like thuch an important guy now.

[Cue mock raspy deep voice.]

I'm an adult who stoopsth to punching through thome kidsth wall. How badath am I.

Fuck, now I have to get Equiuth to fix thith...

[ Adam doesn't even dignify that with a verbal response. He's simply been making an entrance for himself, for all intents and purposes, and steps in. The wall doesn't matter.

Pretty sure Sollux' face needs fixing, first. Adam aims his augmented, metallic fist at Sollux in passing as he walks straight into his room, without stopping. ALIEN KIDS THESE DAYS they have no manners. ]

You have a computer? Or just your tablet?

[ you might also want to fill this out if you want adam to get creative with his assholery... ]

[Yeah, wow, okay, don't just walk into his room. He has underwear on the floor in there. And also: bees. Lots of bees. They're buzzing angrily too. Don't like you much, Adam.]

Woah, hey, fuck you. No. Get out.

[Strange as it seems though, there is no computer in the room. There's a (mangled) desk and office chair, as if there was a computer there typically, but for the moment, it's missing.]

You're actually pithing me off now, get out or I'll toth you out the fucking window.

[ooc: since we're doing permission things, Sollux has psionics. Is there anything in particular he can't do right now? i mean he's not going to kill adam or anything, but there will likely be some telekinesis used soon.]

[ ooc: Go wild. Adam's sturdy and recovers fast; it's possible bees aren't even able to sting him thanks to his dermal armor, and being tossed out the window would annoy him at most since he's got an implanted Landing System augmentation so he can fall from any height without taking damage. ]

And I thought my place looked bad.

[ At least his underwear isn't strewn everywhere nor are there pesky insects. ]

I'd like to see you try. I warned you not to piss me off, brat.

Fine.

[Behind Adam, the wall-sized window opens up. Behind Sollux's thick shaded glasses, red and blue glow brightly from his mutant eyes, and soon, Adam isn't touching the ground.

Since Sollux refused to use his abilities, for the most part, during their shared mission, this is probably the first time Adam's seen him use his powers. Although if Adam had taken note of those giant rocks that were hurled at the UE, he'd recall they shared the same red and blue tint that Sollux has glowing from his eyes now.]

Don't come here again, or it won't be a nice warning.

[ Yeah, he does vaguely recall that, although he doesn't make the connection immediately. Still, considering he's floating, he gotta say-- ]

That's a pretty neat trick.

[ But he's seen and felt worse shit-- shit that almost got him to beg, and making Adam Jensen beg isn't at all easy to pull off. Getting tossed out the window will do little to impress him; he might as well just climb back up. ]

Alien teenagers getting all serious now, I'm so fucking terrified. Y'see me shaking?

[ Though he doesn't sound nearly as snarly-growly as before; more nonchalant and devil-may-care. Before he takes a dive out the window though (which wouldn't be the first time, really), he's gonna gather some data for a less violent approach. Those are no less satisfying when successful. ]

I don't care if your terrified. An idiot ith thtill an idiot regardleth if they fear a god or not. The point ith, I don't want you in my fucking hive. All I did wath harath you for like twenty minutesth over the network, and ath thoon ath you're out of here I'm reporting you two the ... whatever-the-fuck juthtice system thith place hath for unwarranted dethtruction of property.

[Countdown to window tossing in 5...4...]

[ ... Someone's not so good at detecting sarcasm.

He'd laugh at that because he IS working for the police and can easily manipulate the files in his favor ~~just like he keeps stealing from his co-workers because wow he sure is the best employee ever~~, and he doubts anyone would take an annoying kid seriously, BUT he'd rather not take any chances.

Blergh. This is going to be more work than venting, window tossing might or might not have to wait.

So yep, he's using pheromones now. Up to you if they have any effect, but what he's saying stands even without them. ]

I don't think you will. Hold it just a moment. What goes around comes around; are you really that surprised that someone doesn't put up with the crap you're giving them? You gotta take a long hard look at yourself and the people you surround yourself with once in a while before you point your finger at others. So maybe I punched a hole into your fucking wall, but apparently I wasn't the first one to do something like that. [ Yeah, he's observant. ] I wonder why?

[He detected it, but decided not to respond to it. As for the pheromones, he does respond to it, but stands his ground well enough to not let go of Adam just yet. Nor the window.]

Plenty of people put up with me. And the holesth Equiuth made don't count. We're dating.

[SAID AS IF THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING?? Which it absolutely doesn't. But at least he sounds slightly less furious than he did before.]

Because they either choose to or are incapable of hitting back. I can definitely do the latter and I'm an asshole to boot.

[ At least he has an accurate picture of himself and THAT is a really... weird explanation. Granted he and Samus can have rather wild tussles too but nothing like that. ]

So property damage is all right and tolerated when you're dating? That sounds rather [ abusive ] out there.

I like it when they hit back. But thith ithn't hitting back. Thith ith fucking thtupid. If you had jutht challenged me two a fight inthtead, then I would have done that, no problem. Inthtead you come in here, fucking my shit up and trying to fuck my computer up too. Your diplomacy sucksth.

And in hith cathe, yeth.

You were deliberately obnoxious and making demands. My way of being obnoxious is more physical because I'm not the type to hide behind big words and computer screens.

Which of these is more stupid, that's a matter of opinion. Now I suggest you let me down unless you want things to escalate even more, 'cause believe me, flinging me through the air does nothing except aggravate me. And now that I know about that, it's probably best you keep shit like this between you and your -- boyfriend if you find that kinky or whatever, I don't care.
