Mirror Rex is a bit worthless // Video.

Aug 18, 2011 10:23

[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 ( Read more... )

You know what's great for headaches, Rex? Green tea, and bananas. Let me bring some over for you.

stopthat_destro August 18 2011, 15:58:44 UTC

I dunno, I mean. My head hurts really bad...

raisedinabox August 18 2011, 16:01:58 UTC

It's a time tested remedy, Rex, and it's a lot easier on your body than aspirin would be.

stopthat_destro August 18 2011, 16:07:13 UTC

Aspirin's fine. It's safe. That's why it's... uh, over the counter. Please? Just bring some in case nothing else works.

Spam or assume? raisedinabox August 18 2011, 16:19:47 UTC

I'll be there shortly.

With aspirin?

[No reply, Rex. He is not going to enable you. But he IS TOTALLY GIVING YOU HIS POTASSIUM RICH DETOX. A few minutes later Jim knocks on Rex's door.]

THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS stopthat_destro August 18 2011, 16:47:43 UTC

[Rex practically flings the door open, as he's jonesing for druggggz.]

Did you bring the aspirin?

THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS raisedinabox August 18 2011, 17:10:03 UTC

I'm not going to help you get off, Rex. These should help with the comedown, but that's all.

[Jim hefts the bananas and the flask of tea he's made up for you.]

I said it's for my headache. [He wanders to his bed and flops down.] I'm not hungry.

Re: THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS raisedinabox August 18 2011, 17:43:14 UTC

Yeah, but you were lying. [Jim follows Rex over to the bed and sits down on it, close to the other man.] It'll make you feel better. Really. There's no point in making this worse for yourself because you can't get high.

Re: THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS stopthat_destro August 18 2011, 17:50:00 UTC

It can't get any worse than this. [He buries his head in his pillow, curling up.] Feel like my soul is dying when I'm not... [HIGH AS SHIT.] When I remember I'm here.

THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS raisedinabox August 18 2011, 18:58:58 UTC

[Jim un-caps the flask, and pours out some of the tea, before reaching to put it on Rex's bedside table, so he can reach it if he decides to try.] I know. I know you do. [He drops his hand to Rex's shoulder and squeezes.] But you need to be strong! This isn't any kind of life! And it's not going to get any better if you keep on doing this to yourself.

THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS stopthat_destro August 18 2011, 19:08:45 UTC

[He laughs hollowly and lifts his head from the pillow.]

I'm already better. Most days, I don't even notice the Barge anymore. It's... fighting that costs you a good life.

THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS raisedinabox August 18 2011, 19:55:19 UTC

This isn't good, Rex. It's oblivion. Destroying yourself before they can get to you isn't being better off.

[Lifting your head, eh? That looks like an invitation for Jim to slip a hand around your shoulders and try to get you to sit back up.]

THE FRIENDLIEST OF SPAMS stopthat_destro August 18 2011, 20:17:07 UTC

[Rex lets Jim move him, going sort of boneless like a big useless cat.]

It feels good. 'Least I get to... to be who I want, not who they want.
