I will not make this look pretty later, don't believe me it's all a lie

====

INVENTORY:

-The Punisher: Wolfwood's cross gun, normally covered in wrappings.
INFO from the mods on use so I don't forget: The cross-gun will be able to fire regular bullets (regains of these can be handwaved; silvered bullets can be purchased in the bonus AC store) just fine, without any special nerfs. The laser feature will be usable a max of 3 times a month.

-4 Vials of his Drugs(tm)
Info from the mods on use so I don't forget: Wolfwood can start with up to 5 vials of his Lab Drugs. More of these can be regained for the price of a Small Item (a maximum of 5 at once), but they will not work on other player characters for obvious reasons. Their healing ability will also be slightly nerfed to not heal anything instantaneously, but rather over a few minutes.
3/7: All Vials have been used. Will need to purchase replacements if he wants to use them again.
???: Forgot to put the date here but he's purchased more Vials, one has been used to he has 4 currently.

Uh... 'cause I care...?

[What a weird fucking question.]

Mr. Priest, did you forget to clean the cotton out of your ears the other day when I told you that I like you? Do you want me to reiterate it since your brain isn't working?

From:

lupusxylem

No, I heard you. I just don't get it.

[Because they're really done nothing but be catty bitches to each other. That doesn't constitute liking someone in his brain, although you could say the same about how his relationship with Vash started...it's just that Vash didn't gleefully add fuel to the fire the same way Ain does. Vash is too golden retriever for that.]

From:

eidxiety

Okay, hold on. [And then he brings his hands up to either side of Wolfwood's face and makes the "magician putting a coin in your ear" finger-waggles at him.] I'm removing the cotton from your ears real quick...

[Okay, joke over. Ain leans back against where he's sitting. Sighs.]

I like our back-and-forth. It's fun to me. It reminds me a lot of Mr. Ancient, you know, the person who you know here as a doctor. Mine's not a doctor, he's just a dumbass. [Ain, the way you say things brings up more questions than answers.] Back home, Mr. Ancient and I spent years ribbing each other, and after a while, we saw eye-to-eye and it became more playful. I thought you were like that when we first met, and I like teasing you because you react so strongly to it. I think it's fun.

But then you got all grouchy at the café. Mr. Fluffy said not all h— [humans] people will react like Mr. Ancient does. I don't really get it. You guys are pretty much the same person, other than the fact he's a tech nerd and you're like, religious. [lmfao] You reacting negatively and me being confused didn't stop me from liking you, though. It takes a lot for me to hate someone. You have to be a demon, a really bad demon at that, or someone who's out to destroy the world or hurt others. You don't strike me as that, unless you're really good at lying.

I dunno, Mr. Priest. I might not know how to interact with you, or anyone else for that matter, but... I like boys like you. I like how you react to being teased, and I like being the fuel to your fire.

From:

lupusxylem

[Well...he thinks he can clear up Ain's confusion in that respect, at least. Maybe he even owes it to him, at this point.]

I reacted that way 'cause I didn't know you. You can't really just go up to people you just met sayin' whatever shit you want and expect 'em t'not punch you.

[Just putting that out there.

I like boys like you. Jesus. What the fuck. Is Ain flirting with him??

He huffs and looks away for a moment, unable to take Ain being...so...he's not sure he even has a word for it. Genuine? Whimsical? A fruity little bitch he wants to-]

But I don't...hate you or nothin'. You drive me fuckin' insane, but...in less of a bad way than a lot of people I've had t'deal with.

[Not in the way Zazie drives him insane. The bad way, at least until such a time that they're able to convince him to be a good guy.]

From:

eidxiety

Can't say I understand why — I mean, you say whatever you want to people, haha.

[Yeah sorry Wolfwood he's not human he does not quiiiiite understand that. He sort of gets how to check other people's tones, but not his own. It's, uh... listen, okay, he's trying.

Anyway, looking away is a fantastic sign (is it??) and Ain stretches out further like a cat.]

Wow, you're more genuine than Mr. Ancient is! He'd be all— [raises his voice because believe it or not Add's voice is actually a higher pitch than Ain's,] —"Ain you annoy the shit out of me and I hate you". Just like that.

If you didn't make it so easy to mess with you, I wouldn't bother, though. Too bad for you~!

From:

lupusxylem

[..........okay Ain you do kindof have him there.]

Tch, yeah. That ain't surprisin'.

[Wolfwood sighs, leaning back against the edge of whatever he's sitting by in the sand. Maybe it's one of the logs they've been using as a seat around the bonfire, or something.]

I guess if nothin' else, you're easier to respond to than a lotta the people here. I don't really know what to do with people bein' nice to me.

[But Ain, oh Ain. He can get REAL feisty with you and it feels...natural, somehow.]

From:

eidxiety

Really? Why not? Do you want me to heal you meanly next time?

[Ain is on those couch thingies that are outside of the cabanas, Wolfwood can be in the sand if he wants. That said, he'll lean forward and steal one of Wolfwood's hands real quick.]

Aren't your partners nice to you? And Mr. Jellyfish? When they're holding your hand like this, isn't it gentle? Don't tell me they're crushing your hand and bullying you for real...

From:

lupusxylem

I mean...they are. That ain't quite what I mean. I guess it's more...

[He sighs, gesturing weakly with the hand that didn't get healed.]

Yaknow that thing some people do where they're like...polite out of obligation? That kind of shit I don't really know what to do with.

From:

eidxiety

Oh, kind of! But not really. I don't get why humans do that. [Ain you are so bad at this,] I don't know how to do that anyway. It seems too complicated, and I'm the sort of person who makes my opinions known about someone immediately. I'm not gonna pretend to be someone's friend, that's annoying.

[He will give Wolfwood his hand back. Here you go.]

I'm being nice 'cause I like you. I tease you 'cause I like you, and your reactions to things. It's pretty simple!

From:

lupusxylem

And that is why it's easier for me t'deal with you. You're...genuine.

[And given the context around it, that definitely sounds like the most backhanded compliment ever, but he really means it he swears.]

But uh...thanks for not completely writin' me off when I almost punched you.

From:

eidxiety

Huh...? Oh, is that bad? Mr. Ancient and I would slug each other every day practically.

[The difference is that Add's punches actually pack enough force to where Ain has to shield himself or his arm bruises, and Ain's are... well, there's a reason he throws spears and not punches, let's just say that. Anyway they've gotten less hostile as time has gone on but still.]

It was how we are! If you punched me, I wouldn't have been that mad. I would've hit back!

From:

lupusxylem

...Pffft. You serious?

[Look at you Ain, you actually made him laugh. Good job.]

I'll hafta keep that in mind. I fought Elsword too, yaknow.

From:

eidxiety

Wow, you're that feisty? I thought I was special!

[Pouts... (fake pout) but pouts...]

From:

lupusxylem

I mean, you are. You're special in that I didn't punch yer lights out, so consider that a good thing.

[Only because Enciodes stopped him though-]

But I mean. If you ever wanna get in line...

From:

eidxiety

Mm...

[That hum is very playful. Very devious. Ain is thinking thoughts, Wolfwood will never know what they are... and then Ain playfully nudges Wolfwood's thigh with his foot. Kicks u kicks u—]

...sure, Mr. Priest. I'll line up and wait my turn for all your attention to be on me for a little while.

[Winks :)]

From:

lupusxylem

[Wolfwood clicks his tongue, and- in a rare moment- he smirks and nudges Ain back.]

Bet you'd like that, wouldn't ya?

From:

eidxiety

[Thank god he rolled a 15 or he would've become a little gay(er) mess—]

Mm! Well, not the waiting in line part, but getting you all to myself for a little? I wonder what kinds of things we'd get up to?

From:

lupusxylem

[God Ain you got so lucky-

Wolfwood rolls his eyes, but it's clearly good natured compared to how it could have been at another time.]

Wouldn't you like t'know.

From:

eidxiety

I would. [but first, Ain smiles and stands up, stretching his arms over his head. If his shirt rides up a little shhh.] But why don't we save it for another time, hm? I'm not in those shorts I promised I'd be in. Give me until then, liebchen.

[Walks away with a little wave, and if he's swaying his hips a little as he walks, no he's not.]
