Mirror Rex is a bit worthless // Video.

[stopthat_destro]

[VIDEO.  Here's a younger Rex, a little bruised up because it was tough getting icons of him where he wasn't bruised in this role, looking tired.  He's just come down from a high.  Rex rubs his eyes.  There's a little groan, then a groggy:] What happened?  Did the Barge, uh... did it crash?  My bookshelf's knocked over

We haven't crashed, sweetie, it was just the ship shaking really bad - like a flood, but the Admiral said nothing happened.

[stopthat_destro]

What if it's a breach, and the Admiral's affected? Then we'd never know. What if... The entire Barge as we know it is a breach? [This is just some coming-down paranoia right here. He's probably said it many times before.]

[likeabigsister]

Oh, Rex. Even if that was true, then there's nothing we can do about it except take care of each other, right? You know how floods are.

[OOC: COMPLETELY UNSURPRISING RELEVATION: I made a mirrorverse account for the extra icons :c]

[stopthat_destro]

Yeah... And wardens. They're worse than any flood. [He laughs, even though it's not funny and kinda nonsensical.]

[OOC: man I should've done that :c]

[likeabigsister]

They're only as bad as you let them be.

And...I don't think you really bumped your head all that hard, did you?

[stopthat_destro]

No, I really did. See? [Pointing to a bruise that toooootally didn't happen in the turbulence.]

private

[likeabigsister]

Sweetie, that's at least a couple days old.

private

[stopthat_destro]

[WHOOPS.] Yeah. But. I, uh, exacerbated it today.

[likeabigsister]

...

I can bring you some aspirin, but you have to take it like it says on the packet, okay?

private

[stopthat_destro]

Yeah. A couple doses, right. In case the headache comes back. I'll owe you.

[Can knocking on a door sound perky? Yes. Yes it can.]

[stopthat_destro]

[HOWDY. Here's Rex looking tired and a wee bit sick. He opens the door and crosses his arms anxiously.]

Do you have it?

Re: Spam

[likeabigsister]

Here. [And what she offers him is a glass of water with two soluble aspirin barely still dissolving inside.]

[stopthat_destro]

[Foiled! There's such obvious disappointment on his face, but he forces a smile and takes the glass.]

Thanks. You're always... looking out for people.

Re: Spam

[likeabigsister]

I do what I can. [She bites her lip.] Rex, do you remember how you were before you started...asking people for aspirin?

Re: Spam

[stopthat_destro]

[He winces. There's a tight frown, and he takes a drink.]

Yeah. [And just thinking about who he was then and who he is now is enough to send his insides twisting in shame.] I was... always getting in trouble. At least the wardens ignore me now. Mostly.
