Not so Villainous (closed w/ theblackestofhats)

theblackestofhats:

There was a peculiar scent in
the air as he drew closer to what he thought was a likely spot, from
the man-made structure standing there – a scent that seemed at
least a little like something he ought remember, but elusive. It
tugged at his memory for a bit, but his focus was torn from the issue
by the sight of someone moving below.

He swooped closer, upon
spotting the scientist, landing not far away. The scent was still
slight, but a little stronger now – seemed this guy really was
tinkering with things most mortal folks avoided. He elected to wait a
little while as Carlos drew, creeping closer so that he could connect
his shadow to that of the canopy. Perhaps he’d be able to steal the
science station as well as its owner.

Carlos thought he heard something and he looked over his
shoulder, wondering if Telly the Barber was skulking around, hunting after his
hair… A guy could only work with cactus needles for so long. . However, he didn’t
see anything. Slowly Carlos turned back to his notebook, frowning to himself in
confusion.

He wasn’t very happy with his sketch. It was completely
conceptual, and it didn’t do justice at all to what he was seeing. Just… ugh.
He set his pencil down and picked up his tablet to start typing up his notes.
He photographed the sketch and uploaded it to the blog and tried not to make
the self-critique of his work too
lengthy.

A Holiday Surprise (closed w/ selfmedicatingmayor)

Carlos giggled again and shook his head. “No, uh… it’s the 11th. I was born on Mother’s Day… again, if that means anything to you.” He made a slight face. “It certainly did to my mother…”

“I’m surprised that wasn’t a thing around here, but it wasn’t, heh. Lots of traditions went to the wayside after the bombs dropped, think a lotta folks tried to hold on for a while but life got in the way, y’know? I’ll try to remember that though, I’d like to make the day special for ya.”

Carlos smiled at him, trying to shake off the pesky intrusive thoughts about the raging bitch his mother. “I’ll mark it on your calendar for you,” he told Hancock. “Though really… I’m absolutely happy with everything you’ve given me. I really am.” He started to tuck into the last few mouthfuls of his noodles, slurping them up quicker as they’d gotten colder and trying to savor the sodium chloride and other flavors.

Carlos’ face started to warm, even as there was a twist of
disbelief in the pit of his stomach. “Gosh… you’re awfully sweet, Hancock,” he
murmured, finally chancing to meet his eyes with a shy smile. “You know just
what to say…” Carlos still had his left arm stubbornly crossed over his lower
chest, but he gingerly reached his right arm out to grip Hancock’s shoulder to
show that he appreciated it.

Carlos nodded to him, leaning into the other man’s shoulder. “Um… well, my birthday’s in… May.” He chuckled softly, trying to lighten the mood again. “I’m a Taurus… if that means anything to you.”

“Am I supposed to celebrate ya the whole month then?” He teased lightly, happy to have the focus off of himself for the moment. “What day? Or are ya uncomfortable revealing too much?”

Carlos giggled again and shook his head. “No, uh… it’s the 11th. I was born on Mother’s Day… again, if that means anything to you.” He made a slight face. “It certainly did to my mother…”

“Beauty you say? Dude your uglier then a bilgsnipes ass.” Grins and hands over the pink glittery dragon.

Yondu rolls his eyes at his boys and takes the little thing and
grins. “Aww look at it. This ones a cute little thing here. Hehe. Got
some shimmer too.”

“This one’s mine,” Kraglin said, handing over the little green lizard thing he picked out.

Yondu takes that one grinning at it and bobs there little heads. “Hehe. These are cute..well I just might have to collect some more Huh…”

“Well, you’ve got one more,” Carlos said. He pulled out the little pale horse and offered it to Yondu. “This one’s called a horse – people use them to ride around on.”

Yondu takes it and grins looking it over like the others and holds all three bobbling there heads. “Hehe. Front row seats on my shelf. Special treatment for these cute critters.”

Half smiles then burrows back down into the fluffy warmth looking up at Tullk with content halflidded eyes.

Tullk looked at Half-nut and smiled at him. He rubbed the younger Ravager’s shoulders. “We should be getting back… get some sleep before the day shift on the Eclector.”

Kraglin snorted softly. Right… ‘sleep’.

Yondu nods. “You boys head on back to the ship. Carlos and I have icecream to go get them I’ll be back on the ship.”

Kraglin made a little face at the mention of ice cream but he nodded and stood up. “Aye, Captain… Pete, let’s get them Cheetos and stuff that we got.”

“Oh! Let me send you home with something else too!” Edwardo said as he stood up. He took his cane and slowly walked out of the room toward the garage where he kept a large freezer.

“Ooh, you guys are going to like this,” Carlos said with a wide and excited grin.

Why don’t you ask the platypus? *max points behind carlos*

*confused, Carlos looks. He jumps, startled* Oh – oh my goodness, it’s in a tree! What the… oh my gosh, that is a platypus.

Yeah. We call her ‘Muack’. It’s the sound she makes. She ate one of her babies.

Uh… well, animals do that. Wait, how did she have eggs? Is there a male running around?

Dunno. We just found her with eggs. All her other ones died and she ate the last one that me and Nikki took care of. She’s terrible but we still love her.

Huh… well, just don’t let her have another clutch of eggs, I guess. *looks at the platypus* Um, hey, sweetie… wanna come down here? It’s dangerous to be up in a tree…

She knows what she’s doing.

*the platypus hisses at carlos, nearly falling off the branch*

Oh! Be careful, honey… She doesn’t seem like she’s been handled a lot. Is she feral?

She’s violent. She bit Neil once and threatens to kick.

She does? Huh, that’s weird – females don’t have spurs.

Maybe she’s both.

Or she’s just doing some male things on instinct, like dogs do. I’m a scientist, not an animal biologist, so I don’t know.

Maybe she just is.

What, a hermaphrodite?

Maybe. Or maybe she just i s.

… I don’t think I follow, Max… she is what?

All.

I really don’t understand what you’re trying to tell me, Max…

She just is, Carlos.

*the platypus is no longer in the tree*

You’re still being vague. But… okay, I guess. Help me get her out of the… *looks at the tree* Wait, where’d she go?

Probably somewhere. Or everywhere.

Heh… Welcome to Night Vale. You’re awfully cryptic, Max. Do you think she’s alright?

She’s probably eating lizards or something, I dunno. Not my day to watch her. Welcome to where?

Night Vale. It’s a town I used to live in. *Carlos went to get the pot* Let’s head inside and try the control experiment, I guess.

Alright. Let’s go do that.

*Carlos walks around to go inside the mess hall with the pot, expecting Max to follow*

*Max followed Carlos, half walking backwards to make sure the platypus wasn’t salking*

*Opens the door and holds it open for Max.* Hey, you looking for something?

Nah. Just makin’ sure.

Making sure of what?

That she doesn’t attack. I told you. She’s v i o l e n t.

No… she’s feral. She just hasn’t been handled much at all. But thank you, Max… for being alert, I suppose. *he closes the door behind Max* There – she won’t bother us right now, right? Time to get that control done. *he smiles*

*max nodded* yeah, sure, let’s do that.

*Carlos walks over to the kitchen and starts to wash out the pot*

Carlos nodded, setting down his chopsticks again. “Sure. Absolutely, Hancock,” he said. He turned to lean in and press a gentle kiss to Hancock’s cheek.  “You’ll… let me know if it gets to be too much… right?” He didn’t even know when the guy’s birthday was yet, but he wanted to be absolutely sure he was getting a green light to do something small. Very small.

“Sure. You’ll uh…. you’ll forgive me if I ain’t too into the celebration, yeah? Or um…. if I need to take a chem break or two? Not gonna lie, I…. tend to spend the day high outta my mind most’a the time.” He poked at his food again, just pushing the noodles around in the bowl at this point. “When’s your birthday?”

Carlos nodded to him, leaning into the other man’s shoulder. “Um… well, my birthday’s in… May.” He chuckled softly, trying to lighten the mood again. “I’m a Taurus… if that means anything to you.”
