(Welp, alrighty then, tension anyways :)
Blaze's pale eyes flash a deeply unsettling red color as she turns towards the door, but upon remembering which person this voice belongs to, she laughs.
"Lucas. I knew it," she grins. "Come in here then."
Her face turns predatory.
"But if you breathe a word of this to your colleagues or superiors I can promise the punishments they would give you would look like a walk along the beach compared to what I do to you," she says bluntly.
She turns back to Tseth to respond to him.
"Good, then there shouldn't be an issue."
(damn)
Lucas slowly walks into the room, staying a good distance away from the others. He freezes at Blaze’s threat, quickly nodding. “Uh- yes, ma’am.”
Daphne rolls her eyes. Can Blaze stop threatening everybody for five seconds? She narrows her eyes slightly. Wait a minute. Did her eyes just- She blinks a few times, then shakes her head.
(It's literally her job to threaten people Daphne-)
(shhhhhh)
(And yes her eyes did just. Astute observation skills Daphne-)
(Stop bullying her- /j)
(No- the child must be bullied, like you- /j)
Tseth gains a hint of recognition when he sees Blaze’s eyes change. He glances at Daphne with a look that means, ”Did you see that?” It was clear Blaze wasn’t one of his kind, so that just made it all the more weird instead of threatening.
(Her eyes in fact did just, and I’m also throwing attention to that fact with Things because I can)
(she’s already been bullied enough okay-)
(I feel like bullied and outright abused can be both similar and very different things)
(shhh)
(Agreed. I have been through both myself; ANYWAYS :)
(oh dear)
(Oh so I’m murdering someone today)
Blaze smiles brightly at Lucas.
"So. What can you tell us about this first competition?" she asks kindly.
It was clear that she was trying to make Lucas feel a little bit more relaxed.
Daphne glances at Tseth, looking pretty unsettled. She nods slightly. Tseth, I’m pretty sure anybody with functional eyes could have seen that— She glances at Blaze again, not really sure what to do or say at the moment.
Lucas tilts his head slightly. “Well, it’s the only one where you can’t really get hurt. It’s just questions, really. That’s how they trick you-“
(Oh no, the one who abused me - rather, the people who abused me - are quite dead already. And my bullies have long since learned why they shouldn't.)
(aaaaaaaa loud typing)
(uuuggghhh why must it be so active while I'm at work-)
(there's only so many times I can use Salmo dissociating as an excuse- ack)
Salmook blinks out his thoughts. Again? Usually his daydreams were few and far between. Usually. Ever since he'd been here, they've been constants. Maybe it's because he hasn't been sleeping well?
What was Salmook doing, anyways? He steps out of the hallway and stares at everyone else. There was Tseth-friend, Daph-friend, Danger-Lady, and… Jabby-Boy? Uh-oh.
(It's your fault for getting a job. /j)
