Yes, yes. I'm sure I'll be mortified come the end of this. That said, I will be by; you'll finally get to see the two of us together finally!

...and if it matters for anything, Herr Caffrey at least, I was there for. And he pointedly goaded both myself and Johann. When he discovered I wasn't so easily angered, he focused on Johann, needling and being disrespectful. He also hardly struggled. Either he wanted to die or he wanted to cause trouble and chose his death as the method.

[brushoff]

Herr Caffrey is an idiot and also probably slightly suicidal. Did you see that post he made whining about the bathrooms? [ wait, a pause before, ]

His most recent post that he made whining about the bathrooms. Christ, that man needs a hobby. Anyway, he was playing chicken with the rail of the ship the whole time. I suspect if Johann wasn't there, he'd have bothered the first person he could see who'd stab him.

[a_titanum]

Goodness, I hadn't seen it. The whole thing looked too long and overly boring. As if we aren't all longing for destruction and nothingness? You hardly have to make a show of it, for goodness sake.

Anyway, as I'm sure Herr Bright will assault you with moral outrage if he hasn't already, Johann was pointedly provoked. I would say expertly if I wasn't watching him at.

[brushoff]

Herr Bright has already been boring and predictable and assaulted me with moral outrage.

[a_titanum]

Of course he has.

[ Ugh, and to think he'd thought them moved forward. ]

Do watch out for Johann. He cares for the man and I have no doubt, given some of their conversations, that he will try to hurt him for his choices. Herr Bright is a furious and vicious little baby when things don't go his way.

[brushoff]

Herr Bright is a vicious little baby to begin with. Swing by my room to hang out with me and Johann and I'll show you the conversation we had.

But yes. Johann's my inmate. That means no matter what happens, he's my priority.

[a_titanum]

I wasn't sure how much you bought his little apathy act.

I'm on my way.

[brushoff]

See you soon! [ a pause before, ] Oh yeah, I've got rum! Join me and Johann in some drinks.

[a_titanum]

[ There will be a knock on the door, though Dorian might be surprised at what greets him. Iris had been a wolf for quite a few days but the last time Florian's been visible on the network had been before all that. There'd been plenty of time, during those first few days, for the two of them to decide to do something ridiculous that delighted him for all that it will give him an apoplectic fit when this is all over.

It is, at least, very dramatic-looking.]

I hope you have mixers at the very least.

[brushoff]

[ Pause.

Paaaaaaaaaause.

Dorian looks Florian over, taking in the skinny pale fancy man with floppy black hair, before he says something that will probably make Florian have even more of an apoplectic fit when it's all over. ]

You look weirdly like me when you do your hair like that.

[ Just saying! He gestures for Florian to enter his room with a, ] Come on inside.

[monsterjohann]

Don't insult him like that!

[Johann's flopped rather dramatically on the couch, already a little tipsy, but he sits up when Florian walks in.]

Welcome to my cell, boss.

[a_titanum]

[ He shrugs at the first, then toddles over to nudge Johann and sits in his lap without any preamble whatsoever. Johann is now chair. Best chair. ]

The most important thing is that I don't look like Flora [ he announces ] and it's a very nice cell. Reminds me of home with everything all over the place in piles.

[brushoff]

When you're a hundred and fifty years old, you pick up a lot of stuff, [ Dorian says, with a little shrug. He heads to the kitchen to make Florian a drink, hollering back as he does, ]

You're also getting rum, by the way.

[monsterjohann]

[He threads his fingers in Florian's dark hair, pressing a kiss to his neck.]

Rum is too sweet. [He picks up his own drink and sits back.]

I don't see how he manages to find anything in here.

[a_titanum]

When this is how you organize, you have a vague scheme in mind of using certain items and locations as a key to knowing where you left other items. It's utterly incomprehensible to anyone but the person who began the assignment of rubbish but remarkably affective if one has anything like a decent memory.

[ He'll tuck up against Johann a little more firmly. ]

Rum is fine, even if it's a touch Southern for my taste. I don't suppose you have the makings of a vodka tonic?

[brushoff]

Of course I have the makings of a vodka tonic, [ he hollers back from the kitchen. ] I'm not an animal.

[ One vodka tonic for Florian! ]

[monsterjohann]

Oh, I want one too!

[He probably has only a couple more drinks left in him, but he's hardly concerned about decorum.]

[a_titanum]

With a splash of blackberry schapps if you have it, please!

[brushoff]

All right, all right, two vodka tonics on the way! [ He sighs, before pointing out, ]

You two have tried gin, right? It's much better.

[monsterjohann]

[Johann rolls his eyes.]

Your tastes are overwhelmingly bland, Herr Gray.

[a_titanum]

[ He leans in and murmurs in Johann's ear- ]

Have you told him he's terribly similar to someone from Mittengelt?

[brushoff]

[ Dorian simply rolls his eyes right back at Johann before continuing on mixing the drinks. Oddly enough, he does have a little bit of schnapps—though really, that blackberry is probably quite old, Dorian rarely drinks the stuff. Two vodka tonics, a little blackberry schnapps, one gin and tonic, added lemon.

He veeeeeery carefully carries all three drinks into the living room with a, ] Johann, grab yours before I drop them.

[a_titanum]

[ Given Florian had been sitting on him, he decides it to be much easier for him to slip up and walk over, the gloves on his hands brushing lightly against Dorian's as he retrieves his own and Johann's. Johann's is passed to him before he sits on him again.

He's more interested in the drink than talking.]

[monsterjohann]

[Johann leans his chin on Florian's shoulder before he drinks.]

Mmm, have you been enjoying the bugs, Dorian? I hardly see a difference in you.

[brushoff]

That's because this sort of thing doesn't affect me like others! [ Dorian grins. ] What's this flood anyway, loosening impulses? Saying what you think? I do all that shit on a daily basis anyway.
