"Not a parent."
Eires flicked the end of the cigarette to the ground, stepped on it, and lit another one.
"I told my more tolerant half that I wouldn't do anything dumb, but that doesn't mean that this sits well with me. I sure as hell don't want you messing with the people I actually care about but this is some bullshit attitude you're putting out here and let's face it. My damnably positive attitude and the fact that you're looking pretty similar to a Capri Sun makes it real fuckin' hard to ignore a lot of whatever it is you're doing here. I'd reeeeeeeally like to be able to mind my own business but you're not making it any easier like this."
[forum cryptid: it/it's]Eires stood up.
"That's not a threat, it's a fact. I'm really not that keen on it myself but you know? I'm on my bullshit again and I'd love to have five minutes to sit back and not worry about this sort of thing. You want me to keep to my own business? Don't make this part of yours."
[forum cryptid: it/it's].....
....You know what? I'm game. I am so game. I dare you to try.
-He gets right in their face, a wicked smile on his own-
I don't kill people who aren't out to kill me, but you cross that line, and you're in for the fight of your life, fuckface. You want a taste of blood, you oversized leech? Believe me, I'm drenched in it.
-With his face so close, you can get a decent look at his eyes behind his shades, Eires-
-They say eyes are the window into a man's soul. But the lights are clearly off in this particular house.-
-Windows to the soul, eh?-
Eires remained stoic, taking another drag as Travis rambled and even politely turning to exhale to the side, never losing eye contact.
Eires fixed Travis with a steely look, a testament to weapons fire cracking out in the dark, of watching nothing but instrument and camera readouts for days, waiting for any sign of movement along the overpass as the rest of the city burned, eyes that stare at you with a disregard usually reserved for the dead.
[forum cryptid: it/it's](Oh, hey, Eires, Travis, while you're having your psychological stare-out, guess who turned up on the roof.)
Hey, Gesicht. (Notes the trailer while Gesicht heads downstairs) ...Is that a goddamn trailer?

"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."-There's a raven just watching this all go down from atop the trailer-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Eires broke off eye contact for half a second, acknowledging the corvid onlooker to the scene.
"...Listen, I'm liking your little spiel here, but I've got places to be, people to talk to, and one or two apologies to make. Don't make this too hard on either of us, all right? I don't like having any of these chats either."
Eires relaxed, letting themself slip away and...just like that, a rolling tide of obsidian-black mist rolled away.
....and on, down towards the lawn below. Eires collected their thoughts again and like that, they were back, corporeally- a good foot in the air.
[forum cryptid: it/it's]-The raven flies on over, morphing into Sandra partway over, floating beside them-
Hey.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?When I want to be mist, I just... think of it like stretching. Stretching myself out.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Yeah, like I reach out, and I stop... focusing... and if I stop focusing, so does my body.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?"Let me just..."
Eires turned and picked out a tree branch, closed their eyes, sighed, and seemed to burn away, erratically heading towards the branch in that similar-but-not-identical form.
They...reassembled, for lack of a better term, at the same height as the branch and about two and a half feet further than it sat.
[forum cryptid: it/it's]-Just as they fell, Sandra swooped in and caught them, bridal-style, skidding to a stop-
-Grinning down at them-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

-Eires-
So enlighten me of what you would do! I'm dying to receive the wisdom of the world's greatest parent.
-Eiichi-
......Ohh, listen to you!
That ballsy talk's gonna get you killed one day, kid. Not everybody's as nice as me.
