@PETFREAK_EXE go back to Harmony. Fuck those pricks. He's here to stay. And he'd be damned if he'd let the rest of them go back too.

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

The cry that ripped through Dex caused Hemlock's attempts to halt. Shaking his head after a moment, the skull rattles around within the dome as he now grabs hold of him. His bass now raised in one hand as he cradled Dex against his chest.

"UNHOOK 'EM. NOW. BEFORE I BREAK YOUR

Wires are disconnected at random, causing jolts of power and data to be ripped from him at random with little consideration for the damage it could do. A pained cry falling from his lips as his body jerks like a dead fish, reaching for Hemlock, but falling short. This little +

@PETFREAK_EXE Frowning slightly as he now gently shifts Dex into a bridal style hold. So, he was more comfortable. With a sharp exhale, the Skull now stares down to him while walking.

"Ay I won't tell 'em- But you gotta make a promise NOT to go back to those F&#%s."

He'd rather die than

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

@PETFREAK_EXE He's already trudging back to the Encore. Not waiting for Dex to respond as he started off.

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

@PETFREAK_EXE "You really think I'm gonna leave your crazy a%# here with THEM? You're not just crazy, you're f#%&ing stupid-"

Grunting, he moves to pick Dex up. Only to sling him over his shoulder unceremoniously.

"The hell were you thinkin' goin' back here-"

I feel like at some point he just started hitting things to feel better than he could when playing music. Because it wasn't the music HE wanted to write or sing or play.

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

༄✰

Actually, READING and listening to the lyrics of Authority is kinda sad. Because it shows a bit of how he REALLY felt being under Harmony in a way.

This specific line at the beginning feels like how he felt after finally giving up. He wanted power to change, even if it hurt

I feel as if Hemlock's cursing would be censored, much like Jawbone's cursing is in Monkey Wrench.

"I'M NOT F%&#ING LOSIN' YOU AGAIN!"

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

If panic could be seen on a skull's visage, it would be clear on the glassy dome that held him. He JUST got his friends back; he was NOT losing them again.

"THIS ISN'T FINE-"

Pulling on him a bit in an attempt to unhook him. He's clumsy about it and probably going to

He's sort of jolted out of his own energy-fueled haze. Blinking a few times before he fully understands what's happening.

Jerking forward like a broken marionette, trying to reach for the bassist.

" Hemlock. . . ? It's fine! " He says, anything but. "I'm fine. It's not +

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

Walking by the door, only to pause and backtrack immediately.

"OI! GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF HIM, A#$&@!%!!"

Stomping into the area, as he attempts to pull him away from them.

[— 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘔𝘈𝘊𝘏𝘐𝘕𝘌. @PETFREAK_EXE]

He's tangled in his own wires. Seething as Harmony technicians deal with the mess, manhandling him back into working order.

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

@PETFREAK_EXE He goes ridged, thinking about how fast everyone was to give up. Hemlock himself held out for years... But after Benny stopped? He wasn't far behind. Leaning against him slightly, not too much so he wasn't heavy.

"None of us deserved what they did to us... but I get it..."

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

Watching for a moment, Hemlock just waits for him to get connected before walking off to get the aforementioned instrument. He then walks back and offers it out to him.

"That shit looks like it sucks-"

[— 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘔𝘈𝘊𝘏𝘐𝘕𝘌. @PETFREAK_EXE]

He's scrambling. for the power chord the second he's freed from Hemlock's grasp, plunging the connection into the back of his neck with a grit of his teeth.

He takes a moment before answering. Just letting the power flow through him again.

" Yeah– That'd be nice. "

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

@PETFREAK_EXE He then pauses, trying to think about his own experience with Harmony. It makes him internally frown again.

"Loophole or not, the whole Harmony nonsense is bulls%#$. They come peckin' at us for scraps when we're beaten down. Bloody vultures-"

[𝘎𝘦𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 .ᐟ @GETHEMLOCKED]

@PETFREAK_EXE "Played better than ever, suuuure-"

Shaking his head, the man now flops down beside Dex with a heavy sigh. Glass head tilting to the side to somewhat bonk against the other gently.

"It wasn't you... all hopped up on that energy bull. Yer better off without it all-"
