[Tan isn't really hungry, exactly. He's come to the buffet for a snack and to get out of his room more than anything else. Staying holed up in one place isn't good for him, no, and he's not up to hitting the gym just yet. Better to put something in his stomach first.

He's not, honestly, paying much attention to his surroundings, but he does glance up when Jinx comes by and--

Hang on.

He knows that face.

He knows that face.]

[Tan gets off Jinx long enough to roll him over onto his back and straddle his hips. He's shaking poor Jinx.]

People like you?

Don't fucking deserve to live.

[He punctuates his statements with blows. He wants to turn you into a bloody mess, Jinx.

Well. Bloodier.]

[Jinx only knows that he's on his back when he can suddenly breath freely.

That moment is brief, since Tan's weight is now crushing his abdomen. He takes shallow, staggered breaths while Tan takes the liberty of shaking some sense into him.

Every word Tan says, yah, Jinx knows they're all true. He's not going to try to lie to himself after so many passengers have told him the truth. And with ever blow, Jinx's face cracks. His nose, cheek bone, and jaw are broken and the remainder of his face is a bloody mess. Jinx doesn't even make an attempt to leave.]

[If one knows Lily Worth, then that lucky person knows that Lily Worth is absolutely 100% in love with cupcakes. The texture! The taste! The scent! The overflowing sugar content! If Lily could line her room with cupcakes, she would. This serves as a good reason to amble into the buffet and watch Jinx get his shit fucked up by Tanvir.

Now, yes, Lily is aware that Jinx did a Bad Thing. And yes, Lily did watch that video of him and Redd. She's all for equivalent exchange and all, but look, Redd did enough. Everyone should just move on and instead make passive-aggressive jabs at Jinx for the rest of the voyage.

Tanvir, man, you are really messing up her view on the situation right now. Necessary? Violence is not.]

Hey!

[Quickly judging Tanvir's height and weight, Lily sprints across the floor and tackles him with everything she's got, which is hopefully enough to get him off Jinx.]

[Jinx quietly rejoices when he hears that voice. He really doesn't have the strength to move, let alone breathe properly so he just sits there.

Even after that weight is thrown off of him.

He struggles to breath and can feel his ribs cracking and shifting with every breath. His mouth is dribbling with blood and saliva and the wounds on his face haven't even begun to scab over. His eyes are nicely swollen shut as are his cheeks. He's bleeding on the inside, Lily, be careful with him.]

SUP GUYS LATE TO THE PARTY unamvirtus August 13 2010, 15:07:15 UTC
[You know what's probably a good thing to do after spending days wallowing in your own misery in your room? Actually eat, maybe. He's not too fond of the funny tasting food at the buffet, but the Kuma Ko bears still freak him out and he kind of just wants to get food and leave, and if he goes to Sergei's then people might be there and... yeah. He doesn't want to be asked why he looks like hell, if he can avoid it.

So yeah, apparently the buffet is the go-to place, because there's no way people would be there, right? It's not like that's where most people go to eat or anything. Apparently Link was assuming so because he was not expecting to walk in on a lynching in progress. He freezes completely, just staring for a moment to process what exactly is going on here-- Jinx? What is Jinx doing here? And why is he so bloody? He snaps out of his gaping when a small yellow blur there knocks someone off of Jinx and WOAH what is going on here and why is that figure familiar ( ... )

sorry marbles, party's over. GET OUT. 8| tanvirus August 13 2010, 22:06:49 UTC
[Getting tackled from the side isn't at all what he expected, and he hits the floor. He's still on edge, and on the verge of lashing out at the party crasher when it registers in his brain that the body that knocked him off his target is a kid.

This is why he hadn't wanted to do this in the buffet. This is why he'd wanted to get Jinx elsewhere before letting loose on him. Tan's acutely aware of his split knuckles and bloody hands.

He hadn't wanted kids to see this.

His hands go up immediately, fingers spread wide. It's an immediate, defensive, non-threat reaction. (Some non-threat he is.) He's not going to touch Lily, and he wants her to know it.]

Easy, easy.

[Another movement catches his eye, and he glances back over to where Jinx is lying and--oh hell.

Link.]

[Kid? Tanvir, you silly man. Lily being a kid has nothing to do with this. You've obviously not been here long enough.]

The fuck's wrong with you?

[Oh, she mad, but be thankful she's not going dog.]

You think the Captain didn't do enough?

[Lily has no time to break Tanvir's face, so she climbs off him and turns her attention to Jinx. Shit, man, that's bad. That's real bad. Lily gingerly turns his head so he doesn't choke on his own blood and looks up at Link, clearly overwhelmed.]

Link, Link, we have to get him to AMU. Like, right now.

[Lily's not sure if she can carry a man. It was easy when she was 5'8", but she's got the body of a 10-year-old right now. She claws a hand through her hair, surveying his injuries. Zeshat's tears, Tan, are you some sort of fighting wizard? Lily hasn't seen injuries like this since... well, since a long time ago. In desperation, Lily looks to Link. 3-foot-tall Link. Great.]

Link, d'you think you can help me? Carry him, I mean?

[Jinx allows his head to be turned to the side, he doesn't know exactly why but hey he can't really stop her.

Did she just say 'AMU'? Shit, Jinx isn't going to have that.]

N-no...

[Oh, Jinx is only 5'11" and, give or take, 200 pounds.]

AAUUUUUH GET OUT unamvirtus August 14 2010, 12:03:21 UTC
[This is. This is just impossible. He continues to stare back at Tan, just barely aware of what Lily is asking him-- AMU? Yes, they should go to AMU, maybe there's a service cart big enough around here to help them carry Jinx... he's not even sure if he's said cart aloud or not, but it he did, it was pretty dazed. This all feels like a really terrible dream, and it would make sense because these are the kinds he's been having lately. He isn't usually aware when he's having a dream, though, and this is what lets him really feel that big wound inside him tear open a little more.

Tan wouldn't do this. He wouldn't hurt someone this badly when they've already been punished horrifically enough, Link trusted him, he just wouldn't. There has to be a reason. His expression is truly tragic, but not angry. Yet. He's still just trying to process it.]

I AM A FAILTAGGER SORRY GUYS D8 tanvirus August 17 2010, 02:08:16 UTC
[Well, Lily, as much as Tan would like to say that no, he doesn't think the captain did enough considering the captain only lopped off Jinx's foot, even he recognizes that there are some things you just don't say around kids--YOU'RE A KID, LILY--so he bites his tongue--literally--and doesn't respond to that.

And he's not a fighting wizard. He's just very, very angry. Or he was very, very angry. That's all bled out of him now that he's laid eyes on Link.

Now? Now he's just worried. He's not even remotely remorseful for the mess on the floor that used to be Jinx, but he feels pretty terrible that poor Link has seen it.

Link obviously can't move Jinx. Lily apparently can't. Goddammit, is he going to have to help them move the guy he wants dead--the guy he just beat to pieces--to AMU? It's not like the poor bastard's gonna live anyway--they should just leave him where he is. Maybe cover the body with a sheet for decency's sake.]

Link. Hey.

[C'mon, little buddy, let him apologize for you seeing this mess.]

I THINK I'M WORSE lilyground August 20 2010, 02:29:03 UTC
[Lily fixes Tan with a Glare.]

Don't talk. Don't move.

[Dick.

Link is not looking so good right now. Not at all. Kind of traumatized, in fact. Sadly, Lily can't relate, as she's gotten most of her trauma out of the way. Lily reaches out to touch his shoulder.]

Link, you said 'cart', right? Can you find one around here?

[Ughhh he looks so petrified.]

Link, okay, I know you're... really upset right now, but you have to find a cart, alright? Like, now.

[Jinx can hear what's going on, but he really doesn't have either the energy to respond to or comprehend what everyone is saying.

A cart? For what...?

Jinx isn't going to the AMU.]

...N-nooo...

[Mechanically, he gets to his feet, totally numb as he looks around for a service cart. He doesn't look at Tan, nor does he acknowledge his words-- it's like he's completely ignoring that the man is even there at all. He spots a larger one along the wall away from the table, and he heads towards it without another word (or any words at all). He's just trying to block it all out long enough to get Jinx to the infirmary, to get him all fixed up again. And then everything will be okay.]
