Only that people keep asking me about it. [He catches the lighter and walks by his side, hands resting behind his head.] It sounds like I was there for a spell...
[He's not quite sure how to feel about that.]
Stealing from the daddy-rich and giving to the daddy-poor, eh! I see how it is.
I hate the word daddy and I'm regretting letting you tag along. [he tells Yan Qing, looking Very Tired and sighing for a long time. can he get away with another smack?]
i didn't think it was possible but YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE
[ He is the chillest? If Robin can't handle him when he's daddy, maybe he doesn't deserve him when he's baby. This is immediately the worst meta I have ever written. ]
Hmm... I guess it must've been a hellhole, then. Well, that's okay. You don't have to tell me everything. What matters is the present, right? Hehe... But now I gotta wonder how our first meeting went. If we can talk like this, I'm sure it wasn't so bad!
thanks for reminding him of their first meeting, though. bullying him with BB's face and mannerisms, pretending they were lovers, a hand grabbing his dick, stealing a truck, barhopping until the sun came up or until they were kicked out.]
Well, it wasn't all that different from some of my meetings with other Servants.
[yeah. optimistic. especially for thinking he's a good guy. Yan Qing has already called him a stand-up one. what's he up to?
ah. fishing for compliments.]
Yes, yes. You're the most good of guys. If someone is looking for a good guy, I'll direct them towards you. [as long as he's not calling himself daddy. or any of that other stuff that happened.
but he was a pretty good drinking mate from what he remembers.]
Hold on to that lighter. The vines keep to the dark alleys and such so I'm gonna wager that they don't like the light or any kind of heat. It'll help you if you get caught in a pinch.
[ Aww, Robin's looking out for him? That works on Yan Qing more than the half-hearted compliments, really. He works up a smile as he pockets the lighter. ]
Thanks for the tip. So we just follow these vines, eh? They look harmless enough. You make it sound like they move or something.
[it's more genuine, that's for sure. Robin looks out for everyone whether it's a conscious thing or not.]
You know the saying of looks can be deceiving, right? They have to move if they're growing as fast as they are. Well, it's more than that. I could've sworn I saw one of those vines slithering along the wall...
Hey, hey! How am I s'posed to— [ This Faceless King...
Yan Qing groans, transforms back into a Moon Knight, and starts walking faster. No use wasting his breath on empty air. The rustling sound seems to creep not to fast, but not too slow—just enough to keep following them at their pace. ]
[he will do no such thing just in case the vines are sentient or some weird shit like that.
it's actually Robin that stops long enough to let Yan Qing lead the way, sneaking around behind the fake!Moon Knight. listening at their six to make sure vines don't creep too close while Daddy the long-haired laugh factory keeps his eyes on the front.
every now and then he drops a trap to cover their traps, but he's already run out a while ago.
it's only when they're too deep into it, vines thickening and harder to avoid, does a hand grip the back of the knight's collar and pull him to a stop.
Robin appears in his hood, half-cloaked in shadows.
he was there the whole time.]
Hold on. Listen.
[thump thump.
thump thump.]
What the hell is that?
[and Robin stopping is the worst mistake he could have made. the vines have caught up and twist tightly around one of his ankles. before he has a chance to yell out a curse, or look down, it pulls hard to drop him on his face and starts DRAGGING him deeper in.]
Bang! Bang! Yan Qing isn't holding onto his green companion anymore, but he doesn't need to. No longer attached to their owner, the vines have stopped moving. ]
C'mon! This town's still big enough for the two of us, wahahaha!
[ Rowdy Yan Qing in quiet Billy's body is kind of weird. ]
[you know Robin's all out of sorts when he starts full-blown cursing like that. he should have smacked his head harder. rattled that brain into a different personality or--
yet Yan Qing still reached to save him and grabbed his arms, as himself, for whatever reason.
[for now, he's breathing hard and kicking away the dead vines before staggering back onto his feet. Billy is much shorter than Robin so he has to look down at the fluffy blonde hair and boyish looks. nothing like the Assassin's sharp features he expects -- narrowed green eyes and sleek hair.
the similarities lay in that they're both chucklebutts.]
... Thanks for the save. Man, I don't want to think about what would've happened if you weren't here.
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
spreads myself all over ur overflow
Robin does not want to have this argument about who is suited to face whatever hell is at the center. making a girl cry, though...]
Nobody is gonna cry over me. [who is he convincing?] Jeez. If you wanna flirt with death, be my guest. Don't say I didn't warn you, though.
[so he turns, heading down the path he was already walking down.
the path he's walked for a while, come to think of it.]
Have you still got that lighter on you?
my overflow is all green man.....
On cue, he tosses the lighter up in the air and catches it.]
Yeah, Daddy's still got it. [Once again, outlaws are cursed.] Catch!
[He tosses it over.]
1/2
with a half-turn, he catches the lighter out of the air.]
Hup.
[then he waits until Yan Qing catches up to walk next to him. how nice, right? waiting for his partner in -- ah, what's a good word?]
green men and daddies
partners in STUPIDITY.
Robin wasn't being nice. he was waiting so he can smack Yan Qing upside the head.]
If that lighter said moron, would you call yourself that?
I RLY HATE THIS
[He yelps and it hurts but that's okay, he's had worse and he deserves it.]
No, I'd shove it up your ass. Where'd you get that, anyway? Was it from, what was it? Duplicity?
laughs and cries at the same time
Robin's expression seems to go blank at the mention of his previous stay before he tosses that lighter right back at him.]
No. I nicked it off someone who didn't need it. [a doctor that was EXAMINING HIM. he was old.]
... How much do you know about Duplicity?
makes this worse
[He's not quite sure how to feel about that.]
Stealing from the daddy-rich and giving to the daddy-poor, eh! I see how it is.
1/2
but hey. why can't
ANY OF THE SERVANTS BE CHILL?]
I hate the word daddy and I'm regretting letting you tag along. [he tells Yan Qing, looking Very Tired and sighing for a long time. can he get away with another smack?]
i didn't think it was possible but YOU MADE IT POSSIBLE
Anyway, I wouldn't stress about it. It's more of a pain to remember the place than to not.
that is what you get for vaping robin
Hmm... I guess it must've been a hellhole, then. Well, that's okay. You don't have to tell me everything. What matters is the present, right? Hehe... But now I gotta wonder how our first meeting went. If we can talk like this, I'm sure it wasn't so bad!
vaping robin and daddy yq are highly cursed
... You're an optimistic guy.

Just then, they hear the rustling of leaves. ]
Ah... Sounds like trouble's coming.

and goes on alert when he hears the rustle.]
Shit. Yeah, I heard it. C'mon, I'm not sticking around to find out what it is. I'm usually on the ambushing side, not the ambushed.
[OFF HE GOES, pulling up his hood along the way and disappearing with Faceless King.
SO UH GOOD LUCK FOLLOWING???]
