Eighth Power - Voice

Aug 03, 2010 21:03

[That evening, after the riot, and after letting Jinx and everything around him get to him...]

Jubilee... Kenpachi? [Flat voiced Claudio is flat voiced and a little pained. One can’t see it here, but he’s a little bloody and annoyed, flopped out, visible on the couch of the new place] ...Whoever else is staying here now ( Read more... )

[Trauma doesn't get angry easily, or more appropriately, he doesn't SHOW that he's angry easily. But he sounds it right now, and he sounds LIVID.]

What. The. HELL, Claudio?!

[Voice] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 04:48:02 UTC

[JERKED/JUMPED just then... holyshitman! Sound of his NV hitting the floor as he lost it... groans as he scoops it up again and speaks in a complaining voice] Man! Don't yell! [A pause..... shit, he did sorta just........ log off on Trauma earlier, huh....] I....

[Voice] mademyhell August 4 2010, 05:02:16 UTC

[Now that he's speaking a little more, it actually becomes obvious that Trauma is trying very hard not to activate his powers either, his voice already starting to warp in sound as he continues.]

No, I can yell. I can yell because I want some kind of answer, damn it!

[video // private filter] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 05:19:40 UTC

[DAMNIT... he growled as he scrubbed his hands over his face just now... and clicked to video so trauma can see. Bloody faced, black eyed] I'm sorry, all right! Stop that! Just calm the fuck down! you at work still? Home yet? Fuck... chill out.

[video // private filter] mademyhell August 4 2010, 05:32:06 UTC

[Trauma clicks on the feed after a moment too, he does not look pleased and the air around his is doing the losing color thing.

And his eyes are smoking.

That's generally a bad sign, though he has clearly secluded himself at work and isn't on the floor with the rest of the people still not having left due to the riot. On the other hand, he's clearly trying to calm down, even if he's not doing the most amazing at it.]

Didn't I tell you that testing that theory was really fucking stupid?

[video // private filter] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 05:45:59 UTC

[........... u mad?]

[But seriously, holy shit man, he's sitting up again, a hand raised up to cover his nose and mouth, wipe away at blood while he speaks muffled through the hand, trying not to be upset]

I said chill the hell out! I didn't... test that... theory! [No, he was just really damn stupid.] It wasn't like I stuck around to play like Jinx was either!

[video // private filter] mademyhell August 4 2010, 06:05:09 UTC

[Even if he doesn't say it, it's pretty clear he's not taking any advice from Claudio right now, and chill out is a pretty foreign concept at the moment. Stopping yelling doesn't mean he's chilled. At all.]

You look like you took a brick to the face.

[There's a pause, and he is starting to look less livid and more just incredibly unamused. It's almost worse.]

More than once.

[video // private filter] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 06:16:17 UTC

...Wasn't a brick. [Mumbled... yeah. he should have kept his powers up and got out clear, but he dropped them in annoyance just TO get into the fight] s'not like it ma'ters... I'm fine. Just... lost ma' head for a bit is all...

[Looking smaller as he sinks down in the strange couch more. Wonders if Jinx will pack his shit for him or not. Whatever... grumbles a bit] Got stupid. I know. It's fine now... okay?

[video // private filter] mademyhell August 4 2010, 06:42:31 UTC

[That doesn't cut it with Terry, and he narrows his eyes. This would be a lot more effective if they weren't smoking, but it gets the point across. He's also hit the point of being overly sarcastic. It's sure not going to help matters, but it makes him feel better.]

Bad place to lose your head. Cause...Well. I don't know.

You could lose your head.

[He uncrosses his arms for the first time in the conversation and points at the screen.]

And NO. It's NOT. Getting in some fucking- I don't know what the fuck set you off, I don't fucking care. But deciding to run off and join the city wide fight club bullshi-

...

If there was some damn reason-

[He trails off, completely without words at this point, and though he doesn't really stop looking the same amount of angry, the color starts to leech back into space around him as it turns more into just being pissed off than scared as hell and feeding off everyone else in the building too.]

[video // private filter] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 07:02:00 UTC

[As odd as this sounds... he had a flash of his father hit him just now. Hearing Trauma like this, seeing it. He flinched a bit, thinking back to those nights he was late home, really... very late. His father put the fear of Coheed into him. The last time he was late saved his life, sure, but still, he was scared to death he was going to piss his father off again.]

[This seems no different. The guilt hit him with how angry Trauma looked just now. He sucked up the blood in his nose again, and rubbed at his face, frowning]

Y-Yeah... I know... [Didn't care to know what set him off? Yeah well... he didn't care to tell him either. As much as Jinx pissed him of it wasn't her fault really. Just... the people fighting smaller people, and then arguing with her, and that stupid damn car, and...--- naw he just lost his head was all.]

I didn't join for fun... and I didn't really hurt no one... [More like wanted to be hurt. Laying here felt nice for a change, feeling his face throb] There wasn' no reason. Other then me bein' stupid.

Sorry ( ... )

[video // private filter] mademyhell August 4 2010, 07:41:09 UTC

[And at that, Trauma closes his eyes, and when he opens them again they aren't red or glowing or smoking. He just looks like himself, and just looks like he's still bordering on very angry, glaring at the camera. The color's back in full, and his voice has returned to sounding normal, though it's tense and flat, like he's controlling himself very carefully..]

Whatever the hell made you- [ He roughly gestures toward the door with one hand and then pushes back his chair so he's not right up in the camera, leaning forward with his arms on his knees.]

It was stupid. I don't have to be some kind of fucking.... mutant whatever to know that people died or got really hurt and you decided that was the perfect time to take a joyride on into psycho?

[video // private filter] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 07:54:47 UTC

[Because he wasn't feeling guilty nor surly enough before? Something about the boys words bothered him more then he wished they had.]

You don' think I don' get t'at already? I got it. It was stupid. I know! I get it! But after that god damn car went through me, and after she... after knowing that... Fuck! Forget it, alright!? Yeah, I took a damn joy ride into insanity. No' like I aint been there before! Joy ride to hell got me in this place the first time anyhow! I can't do shit about nothin' here anyhow. Watched some girl get her face bashed in today. Got Jinx coo'ing 'bout how fun it is. Stupid idiot thing! And people pushing, shoving, cops having to fight people, kids screaming. I'm just...

[Every word there seemed to come out struggled, in annoyance, and now the NV was viewing the ceiling as he sat it down and stopped looking into it...]

It was stupid. I got that. I know. That was the point...

[video // private filter] mademyhell August 4 2010, 08:44:30 UTC

Try having your existential crisis out of practical war zones.

[That sounded a lot colder than it was, his voice still flat in an attempt to keep controlled, but Trauma does look bothered by it. It's enough that it's noticeably different than the anger. He's used to seeing really awful shit pretty much twenty four, seven. He's had people shot through the skull right in front of him ( ... )

[video // private filter] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 08:54:05 UTC

Yes Dad... [He mumbled to the first part, a hand raising past the NV view, as if moving over his body to rub at his face again, the video still showing just ceiling.]

[He didn't like bullies. Had a hell of a time with them, and since everything ever has happened to him lately? Yeah, his temper has been short, short, short. To top everything off on today, Jinx was adding to it. She was cheerful and throwing cars and dancing sarcastic happy all over while people were being hurt. That child screaming? Hnnn, it got to him.]

[But he understood how stupid it was too. He could have left. Unharmed. Not a scratch on him. Why didn't he?]

[Because sometimes knowing you were in the middle of chaos feels good. He regrets it now though.]

I'm at Jubilee's place for now. [A pause...] Hey... If my shit's packed up and sittin' outside... can you make sure Apollo isn't in the mess?

[video // private filter] mademyhell August 4 2010, 09:02:11 UTC

[He's going to pretend he didn't catch that first part, because stupid or not, he's got approximately two friends on this stupid island, maybe in the whole damn universe and one of them getting himself killed cause he was freaking out was not Terry's idea of okay. When he hears the second, that confuses him, and he doesn't even try to hide it. Trauma's pretty damn on edge, so he just sounds exasperated as hell.]

...What the hell are you talking about?

[video // private filter] thecrowingtobe August 4 2010, 09:08:36 UTC

[He gave a simple grunt, the NV jostling ab it at that. One might notice it was raising and falling... aka it's sitting on his belly]

Just... if you get home tonight and find my shit everywhere cus some psycho witch decided to throw a fit with my things? Make sure Apollo is alright?
