Brigadier Blue's Links
Move over "Brother In Arms" - Say hello to my "Lover in Arms"! Hehe...! ππ
π³ Aha ////
Honestly, when I'm with you, I feel like I can conquer anything. No matter what the danger is, I'll be able to make it through with you by my side. π
Violet! My Vio! My Lettie! My Violettie! [Blue snorts into a laugh.] Somebody's gotta patch everyone up, and I can't let anyone else do that! Here's to more bruised kneecaps from your crinoline, you goober.
Blue! My best friend, my right hand! And the only one of us who knows anything about medicine! I'm so glad you decided to stay on the skeleton crew with me.
LMAO, you actually pushed that clerk's chair back in. A supervillain... Who do you think you're kidding? You couldn't hurt a fly!
If I'm such a non-threat, then just stay on your base and out of my hair! Go home, Blue! Er, Brigadier! Blue Brigadier!
[Blue wants to scream, but all that's stuck in their throat is... Nothing. Void. They can't force anything out because there is a whole bunch of nothing in the way.]
Weak. You couldn't take what you were given. You couldn't hold it. You're like a cracked, empty vase, but me? I'm full. I'm complete. I'm burning and bright and glorious and I will never be laughed at again.
Listen... You're starting to get on my nerves. Think about the other people you're putting strain on! Y'know - The EMS techs who have to patch up these poor guys? The social workers who have to deal with these new delays? Civilian law enforcement who have to file all of this while booking you for assault? Seriously. (What's with this guy showing up at the school, too? If he so much as /looks/ at one of my children wrong to "get back at me" or something, I'll make him regret ever waking up in the morning.)
Oh, don't you try to get all high and mighty on me. You're just a gopher for some megalomaniacal, heretical Space God! You just don't want anyone threatening your authority over the sheep. This isn't peace- it's sedation. I'm the only one who's going to bring true justice to this world.
Ah, hello! Looks like we've been seeing you around more often lately. If you need help signing up for diplomatic volunteer work, I'm always here to help! (Is this one of those "stans" I've been hearing about? Slang has always escaped me.)
Hey, it's so funny running into you like this again. Do you mind if I ask you to sign one more thing? It's just that I'm such a big fan. Also, do you guys have any openings...?
Aah, one of the Brigadiers that actually stuck to retirement. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't jealous - I teach his older child. Rose is such a little sweetheart! She has some trouble tying her shoes, but didn't we all at that age? I can't wait to have her baby brother in my class in a few years.
I have a lot of good memories of being on the Brigade, but those days have passed. Not that I'd be opposed to having a drink to reminisce, eh, Blue? Or would that be weird since you're my kid's teacher? Either way, I'm glad I still get to see my friends often.
[Blue sighs a little into a huff despite their soft expression.] ...He says he's plagued by restless sleep, yet he sleeps like a baby when my head is in his chest.
[Astrophel blushes a deep shade of indigo and hides the lower part of his face with a well-placed hand over his lips at the thought of Blue.] If I had to describe them... There's a particular term of endearment in the Velxiform language that can be roughly translated to "one who silences". It's endearing because it... Well - That person silences all of your worries. It's for that person in your life who, when you look at them, everything stressful that's going on quietly fades away. [He glances away, tail flicking a bit in contemplation.] I don't typically enjoy quiet moments, but the silence of having peace of mind is something I think everyone should cherish.
Hey sis, I hope you don't mind if I just-- [Blue collapses onto Yellow's couch, sighing deeply as they smoosh their face into the fat, fluffy tummy of one of Yellow's cats.]
[Yellow comes into the room. Dressed with an apron and oven mitts. Sheβs covered in baking ingredients and her place smells like cake] Another hard day, hm? [She collapses on the recliner next to the couch, looking over to Blue and her fat feline] He must really like you, yβknow? He doesnβt let just anyone snuggle up with him.
...What is that? What IS that. What the FUCK is that-- WHAT IS-- ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ [It seems like] βββ [Blue is] ββ [screaming.] β
[It looks like the Marauder has come out of a sort of daze.] ...It. It left? Ah... I... [The Marauder clutches at his chest. It feels so... Empty.] Where did it go? Oh, /gods/, where did it /go/?
Here kitty-kitty! Does lil' Latte want treats? [They begin scritching Latte's cheeks with a goofy smile on their face.] Eeeee, who's a good baby? You're a good baby! [Blue's been doing this since they were young. A cat is a cat, after all.]
purrr purrr [Latte headbutts Blue's hands] mrrrrrrp
[When Blue returned to their senses, they were left unable to speak. Even after their throat had healed, they still didn't speak for a very long time.] [Though they weren't possessed for long, Blue's throat still gets full to the brim of nothing, and they still get pangs of intense emptiness behind their ribs.]
