PINNED❕ it's just a matter of time til you see the dagger it's a special of mine to cause disaster so prepare for the impact and brace your heart for cold, bloody, bitter 𝖘𝖆𝖇𝖔𝖙𝖆𝖌𝖊 — laufey

@GargoyleSpikes Stand down, soldier. I forgot I have a meeting. *And by meeting she means on-the-spot hostile confrontation. * 🚶

@cptntalon rrright. of course. uh. sorry fer assumin, then ( a very nervous salute. )

goddamnit my tooth got chipped 👎

@GargoyleSpikes I pick my own battles, unrelated to anyone else. *Lie but okay.

@cptntalon (*💦) pleasedont getme fired, captain

@GargoyleSpikes No reason. * 👁️ ( * 😈 )

@cptntalon uh- tha commander m' workin under! ... why are y'askin.

@GargoyleSpikes / Who / was it?

@cptntalon . . . yeah! he got a call i guess he didnt appreciate, so, yaknow 🤔

@GargoyleSpikes . . . A /superior/ chipped your tooth?

@cptntalon 'm alright! 's not crazy uncommon when one of tha higher ups is in a shitty mood, yaknow‼️🫡

@GargoyleSpikes Are you alright?

@cptntalon not from tha nails. jus. ta clarify. i jus got m'face kicked in (☝️*)

Hm.

@cptntalon ( gar nods and does as he's told. ) yes, captain! ( a salute, bendin down to clean up the mess of nails and wipe off the floor. )

@GargoyleSpikes *Talon curtly nods. Don't show Fullbody that. He'll choke and die. *Turning on her heel, they start walking off, one last thing spoken under her breath. And pick up those nails.

@cptntalon ( well. that's mostly because people confuse medics for doctors. stitching, bandaging, and caring for injuries isn't really about smarts, just knowing your way around a first-aid kit. though, gar tries to take the compliment. ) uh. thank you, captain. i appreciate it. ////

chewin on some metal t'wake me up

@GargoyleSpikes Medics are widely regarded as intelligent. You can't be that idiotic. *Awe..? *She needs to work on how she says things.

@cptntalon ( gar struggles with the opposite of talon's problem, big frown and defeated-lookin eyes. ) uh- i suppose so, captain. not everyone can be all too smart! ( his intelligence is a big soft spot, but he tries /andfails/ to hide how he feels. it's not like talon's wrong. )

@GargoyleSpikes *Blink blink. Talon lets go of him. There are stupid people actually believe such foolish things? *That was supposed to be in her head. /Oops/. *This is why they're so unapproachable.

@cptntalon uh- y'see, i was a dumb kid n thought chewin nails would make me stronger. eventually i jus. ended up likin tha process n learnin how t'bend em. ( the bends are clean, no teeth-marks and all the sides are evenly sized. a weird but well-executed trick. )

@GargoyleSpikes *Talon is quick to grab his wrist, pulling it closer to their face. There's a subtle furrowing of her brow as she concentrates. How in the world did you discover this trick? ( Jango and Fullbody would love this. )

@cptntalon ( the nails on the floor were already a little bent, most in hearts or squares. gar takes out a nail from the small box in his pocket, and slides it into his mouth. ) ( a few seconds of chewing, he stands up straight, opens his mouth, and plucks out a star-bent nail. ) sir!!

@GargoyleSpikes *Talon glances down at the wet nails on the ground. Her one visible eye darts back up to meet Gar. I'm curious.

@cptntalon took me a while ta master, captain! ( even when hunched over, all dejected, he gives a little salute of appreciation. ) i can show you, if you would like!

@GargoyleSpikes *It's always hard to read her face, given how covered it is. And their tone. It doesn't help at all. Monotone, but also makes them typically just sound in a bad mood. Bend them? . . . Star sounds somewhat impressive.

@cptntalon ( shakin his head. ) uh- no, captain. i use m'teeth to bend them inta shapes. i can make uh- triangles, hearts, n stars. ( it's embarrassing to explain verbally, an embarrassed red on the tips of his ears. )

@GargoyleSpikes *He looks so... dejected. A.. party trick? Do you swallow and regurgitate the nails or something?

@cptntalon ( even when they let go, he keeps his head lowered, mostly just out of shame. ) i- haven't faced complications yet, captain. ( he doesn't really care when they wipe their hands on him, eyes looking up from the floor at her for a second. ) 's mostly jus. a party trick.

@GargoyleSpikes *Behind their mask, there's a slight sign of disdain, their nose wrinkled. That can't be good for your teeth. *There's a pause before she reaches forward, wiping her slightly wet hands over his front.

@cptntalon ( wide eyes, but he complies immediately, spitting the nails onto the ground. they're not rusty or anything. ) they're pristine nails! i ain't gettin tetanus er nothin, captain! ( but, he relents, talking back is always a mistake. ) sorry, captain talon.

@GargoyleSpikes *Talon reaches up, grabbing Gar by his shirt and yanking him closer to their level. Like one would a dog that ate something it shouldn't, she pries his mouth open, uncaring for the unsanitary nature of forcing him to spit out the nails. . . . Aren't you a / medic /, soldier?

@cptntalon well, 's more fer tha tashte!! ( "taste", closin his mouth, still chewin away. ) pluth- keeps m'teeth shturdy ( "plus, keeps my teeth sturdy." )

Tuesday is / not / supposed to be a party night. The Corps better obey lights out or they're going to regret it. * 💢
