Percy didn’t respond at first, almost seeming to be staring into space. Woah, he’d never really noticed before, but Wave was kind of hot. He seemed to snap out of it though and caught the gist of what the water ‘bot was trying to say, and the sullen expression he’d had for most of the week finally brightened up a little. Ivan may have supposedly given up on him, which...

Percy continued to stare at the ground as Wave talked, feeling like he was being told off, but he knew he deserved it. At least it was Wave doing it, so he knew the water ‘bot only had his best interests in mind. “…UH, THANKS, MAN…” he said, still sounding a little disorientated, but he’d gotten the message for the most part. After a moment or two, he finally lifted his head...
searchingforaction:
Percy hesitated a moment, partly because of his optics briefly going out of focus, and partly because no matter how drunk he was, the idea of losing yet another friend didn’t sound all that great. With Wood still upset with him, Wave was literally his only friend now. But Wave’d stuck with him through all the other stupid shit he’d done, so now wouldn’t be any different,...

“MORE LIKE WHAT HASN’T BEEN BOTHERING ME.” Percy grumbled, shuffling into the room with a little bit of a lurch. Man, his head felt so heavy. Not even bothering to look around for a chair or something, he just plonked his butt straight down on the floor with a thud. “YOU EVER DONE SOMETHING REALLY FUCKING STUPID, AND LIKE… CAN’T EVEN RATIONALISE IT?? LIKE YOU CAN’T THINK OF A...

THANKS, MAN… *sluggishly pushes himself back onto his feet and starts to shuffle his way over to Wave’s room, losing his balance a few times but eventually managing to get there intact enough to give the door a few good knocks* WAAAAAAVE. I’M...

Because I brought you there and asked him to.
…Yeah. Yeah, okay.
Wave, come on. I know I’ve said some shit about DWNs in the past, but we’re friends, aren’t we? Why are you going along with that nutjob’s story?
I swear on my maker that I’m not lying to you. I just want to let you know...

Looks like Percy bit more than he can chew this time
He isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. The bastard’s probably gotten into more fights than anyone else here at the Fortress.

Not the smartest hobby.
Yup. It’s a losing battle anyway you look at it. Even if Blondie gets a good shot at Wood and wins, he still needs to deal with the shitstorm you and your brothers will make. Either way, he’s a goner.
gyro-green:
Real nice thought there Wave
*shudders*
You’re welcome. You gotta remember this isn’t fucking Disneyland. But on the bright side, all the lines look out for their own brothers. So if some little shit ever picks on you, you’ll be damn sure I’ll straighten him out.

Don’t worry Blondie, I’ll keep a couple of beers for you in the fridge after your ass whooping.

We’re all built to be killing machines. So even the nicest guy here can still murder you in your sleep.

Poor Wood
Wood ain’t the one to feel sorry for. If you saw the damage Pump got, you’d know that Blondie is already a dead man.

Discovery in the Ally
The sun was bright on that late spring afternoon, the heat from the streets rising from under dark workman boots. With every step, the clinking of glass could be heard from the bulging paper bag that Wave held under his arm. His other hand was busy adjusting a beanie over his earcaps as he looked around the block for any police bots that might be lurking in the city’s corners. Not that he...

Alright, alright. But be careful about the boozing. You might not be smiling the next time if you fuck something up.

That’s not….true…

I did plenty of smiling when I was drunk the other day.
And when I played pingpong with Ivan.
[Star decidedly left out the part where he smiled when Tengu came around at night. Nobody seemed particularly fond of him around here.]

*sigh*Gyro would say I’m just ‘moody,’ but I’m starting to realize most of it is majorly my own fault. Which hurts a little to admit.
Nothing wrong with being moody. We are all some point or another. I’m just starting to wonder if you’ve ever cracked a smile...

Wave chuckled and gestured for the bartender to come over. “Knowing you, you probably hate this place. It’s loud, you can’t see shit, and it smells like a cheap motel. But the drinks are good and nobody here gives a damn who you are or where you came from.”
The bartender, a bald man in his late forties, came over and asked what they wanted to drink. “I’ll have a shot...

“That’s more of Star’s thing I think…” Gyro said with chuckle, “I’ll take whatever they got, I’m not picky. Though sex on the beach sure sounds appetizing.”
He snerked and continued to follow Wave, not aware of the amusing image in his head. So far Gyro couldn’t help but think the whole street looked like a dump. But Wave was right; a criminal could probably come here and blend in....

Come back when you’ve caught and properly prepared a live eel and I’ll see if I can gather the energy to act impressed.
You got it babe. Now all you got to decide is if you want it cooked or sushi-style. If you ask me though, raw fish is always better.
I don’t have a preference.
