VILLIAN CHAT

“Are you alright?” Angel repeated to Zach, still worried that more damage was done than people had fixed. She glanced at him, then to Neirym, now embarrassed that she hadn’t done anything to help. She looked at her feet and held her arm, stepping back beside Actinolite sadly.

Angel smiled, though still looked ashamed.
“Oh, no, none of my experiments are made to be evil, they’re made to be perfect.” Actinolite responded, shaking her head. “The reason I created them was to make Pink Diamond happy.” She looked very proud of herself, “She does have her flaws though; as you saw, she begins melting when she’s stressed, when she emerged her mental ability was very stunted; having an odd, slurred speech pattern, and her problem solving skills almost didn’t exist. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention; she has eyes all over her body.” Angel flinched at this, making it sadly clear that she was somewhat self conscious. “Oh, don’t worry, she can handle you guys.” Actinolite smiled again.
Angel went back to looking worried once more, not understanding that Zach was now faking his cough.

Mike reluctantly pulled a medical kit from his backpack. "I can patch him up, I guess, unless someone here has better healing abilities than that."

Mike paused, sizing Zach up. "If you can offer me a square meal and a place to stay the night, we're even. I'm not interested in ghosts."

Angel smiled back, actually quite flattered that she of all creatures was perfect according to someone. She didn’t seem to understand why he was coming closer, but didn’t really question it after he turned away.

"Oh, there is something else, actually," Mike added, crouching down to tend to Zach's injuries. Nodding to Angel, he spoke quietly so she couldn't hear. "Leave her alone."

"I don't have a crush on her," Mike said flatly. "Those are just my terms. If she thinks she can handle you, that's none of my business, but personally I don't think she can. Now hold still, I have to disinfect that stab wound and maybe stitch it up."

Mike paused, then shrugged. "I'm a nobody, I guess. We're called Wanderers. Sometimes I guide people from the river to the mountains for pay, but usually I do my own thing. We're not a very popular type where I live." He took out a small needle and used a scuffed lighter to heat it up, sterilizing it. "You?"

(off to bed, see you guys tomorrow)

She was indeed blushing, looking down with a shy smile, her wings wrapping around herself happily. He did have Angel’s attention, but she didn’t really respond in any way to his hints. Maybe she didn’t understand? Or did flirting not exist where they came from?

(is this thread glitching for anyone else? It keeps telling me there's new posts on it but when I get here there's nothing)

(I don’t think so?)

(I’m gonna assume that this is… always open? If so, I have some I wanna throw in)

(Ah, gotcha!)

The door creaked open as two hooded figures walked into the mansion. They both covered their faces with masks; one wore a silvery plain mask with a white ‘X’ crossing the whole mask, the other wore an open lotus flower.
”This place is a mess…” the one in the silver mask complained.
”Shut up and just move it…” the lotus replied, pulling the silverly one along.
Both of the figures’ hoods were slightly torn here and there and were stained with fresh looking red liquids.

Mike gave Zach a look. "If you keep moving around like that, I won't be able to stitch you up," he muttered.
At the sound of the door opening, he glanced up warily, keeping a sharp eye on the newcomers as he quickly continued dealing with Zach's injuries.

“Sorry…” She whispered, watching his show in confusion, still wrapped in her wings. Angel absentmindedly held one of them in her hands, adjusting it’s feathers quietly. “I’m really not perfect…” She said softly, as an opalescent feather fell from her wing.
The lady didn’t seem to care all that much, just raising an eyebrow at his wink. She once again pulled out that light screen of hers and seemingly checked data of some sort.

(Laughing gas everywhere, Zachary got stabbed, his ghost army showed up and started trashing things, but Zachary got control of them and gave one to the god-like character (Neirym??) who then left. Mike started taking care of Zachary's wound in exchange for food and shelter, Zach is flirting with Angel, and two new hooded figures just arrived.)

(I believe the gas was cleared, but don’t quote me on that)
