Already choking on my pride [OPEN]

WHO: Reaper [personal profile] hellshot and OPEN
WHERE: Within the Fleet, some automated cafeteria
WHEN: Various times within the month, whenever he needs to eat.
WHAT: Reaper needs nutrients, touchscreens aren't his friend.
WARNINGS: Possible mention of how horridly deformed he is under his mask. It's bad.


[Dark fingernails tap against the metal counter he's currently standing in front of. If he wasn't wearing a mask, it would be easy to see the look of frustration on Reaper's face with his current predicament, so for now, the only way of knowing that the ghost of a man is pissed off is the wisps of black fog escaping from under aforementioned mask.

He hadn't gone on the previous mission with Sombra, and he had no interest in rescue missions, either. Which meant he hadn't seen the field of battle in little over a month--which meant he hadn't been taking in new nutrients from his surroundings to keep his body from decaying to a point of discomfort. Which meant he had to partake in his least favourite of activities: Eating.

Eating was difficult enough when your face was barely suited for it--but when the cafeteria closest to his living quarters was a fully automated one? It was like a really bad joke. Touchscreens worked when pressure was applied with an electrical charge--human skin was a great conductor for said electrical charge. Dead flesh didn't hold any sort of charge. So this was his predicament. He couldn't eat if he couldn't get the damn screen to work.

Frustrated, Reaper finally turns his head to glare at the individual waiting for their turn after him. He hated asking for help, so instead:]


Work this damn thing for me and I'll pay for your food, too.

[He's too tired for this bullshit today.]

[ It's quite possibly the coolest fucking thing Vaas has ever seen. And he's seen some crazy shit on Rook and during his time with the Rakyat. But this isn't the mythical giant bullshit that Citra always harped on and on about. This is a guy turning to fucking smoke.

Vaas wishes that he could turn to smoke. Watching the chaos it causes among the space dinosaurs, it looks like a really useful skill. He sees the eyes, recognizes his newest buddy, and grins a sharply sadistic grin. The message has been well received.

He isn't Jason. He doesn't have the tatau anymore. But Vaas has a lifetime of training to be the Rakyat's ultimate warrior behind him. He's fast as he darts forward, and the jump he takes is powerful enough that it gets him onto the back of the dinosaur that's been singled out. It bucks, feeling the weight, and he responds by lunging forward, grabbing it by the back of the head, and yanking the knife across what looks to be its throat. He follows the motion up by jamming the blade into its eye, piercing its brain.

The thing's dead before it hits the ground. Vaas falls with it, rolling out of the way of its heavy body. Getting to his feet, blood-spattered and riding the rush of adrenaline that killing always causes, he looks back the smoke and lifts his eyebrows. ]


Dinner's served, hermano.
