Argenti's Palace

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[ Or therapy? Maybe therapy? Can we consider therapy? No? Well, alright. ]

More or less. Just try not to drink yourself into a hole if it happens. That would piss me off even more.

[goei]

[What's therapy.]

Fine, fine... Why d'you guys care so damn much about how much I drink anyways?

[fullmoonmutt]

... [ should he say it, should he ] 'cause you cry when you get drunk alone and it's awkward.

[goei]

I don't-
[Well]

I don't cry. I don't even always get sad. Just sometimes.

[fullmoonmutt]

...you were totally crying when I dragged you to bed, mate.

[goei]

I don't remember that.

[Is he just denying it or was he actually blacking out at that point. Impossible to say.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Hmmmm. ]

Well. You were pretty wasted.

[goei]

... Yeah I was havin' a bad night.

[He'll admit that much.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Welp, then here, have a hearty clap on the back. ]

Then drink with friends on the next bad night. We'll even hold your hair.

[goei]

[The idea of reaching out to people when he's at his lowest... Well, no, Eli and the rest of that group already saw him at his lowest, didn't they.]

... Alright. Dunno what you gotta hold my hair for though, it's already tied back.

[fullmoonmutt]

...you telling me you've never gotten puke in those long-ass bangs of yours?

[goei]

'Course not, I'm a professional!

[A PROFESSIONAL WHAT]

[fullmoonmutt]

Huh. I see.

[ no eli what do you see explain it for the rest of us?!

he will not ]

[goei]

[Then he will pay;]

What, were you just lookin' fer an excuse to touch my hair?

[fullmoonmutt]

[ wow..... look, if izou wants to play this game, then, ]

I mean, yeah. [ Real quick, he moves to snag Izou's ponytail like he did previously. ] It's so fluffy and soft, Izou!

[goei]

[NO!!! BACKFIRING!!!!!]

Wh-Don't yank it!!

[To be fair. It IS fluffy and soft.]

[fullmoonmutt]

I'm just touching, honest.

[ Squishing the fluffy poof of a ponytail between his fingers and everything. Take that, loser. ]

[goei]

[.... Well you know what he guesses this is fine actually.

But he's also going to retaliate by stealing a page from Celeste's playbook and pat Eli on his head as well.]

1/2

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Wow, unfortunately for Izou, that earns the usual kneejerk reaction (and super hypocritical, considering) of Eli letting go of Izou's ponytail and snapping at him, ]

Cut it out! I'm not a dog!

2/2

[fullmoonmutt]

[ ...only he sort of is, isn't he? Ughhhh. He forces himself to calm down immediately after snapping. It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. It's just Izou, after all. ]

...shit... sorry.

[goei]

[Izou removes his hand.]

Jeez, I was just doin' it since Celeste does and ya don't seem ta mind.

[fullmoonmutt]

Look, it's just... a thing. Okay?

[ That explains nothing. ]

But I did ask Celeste to stop, too. In public, anyway? I mean. I don't got a problem with you doing it, either, I guess, since you're not mocking me with it.

[goei]

[IN PUBLIC.... WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN PRIVATE..... IZOU'S MIND WONDERS]

Course not. It feels good ta have yer head pat.

[NOT THAT HE WOULD KNOW... OR LIKE HEAD PATS....]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ IZOU, PLEASE. ALL THEY'VE DONE IS CUDDLE AND FALL ASLEEP ON THE ROOF. IT'S VERY SOFT AND INNOCENT. ]

I... guess it does.

[ Fine, he'll admit it. Ugh. ]
