// Hello hello! Intro post blast:
West is a mewgenics oc that has a history with Beanies- a rivalry through school that has stuck around for waaay too long. Mod's name is Lemon, feel free to reach out if you like me and my freak!
@BleedYouDry0 "*Again I- ah. I'm going to take care of it when I'm home, you really shouldn't worry yourself let me just- gh-*"
He gives her another haphazard wave before backing up again, wiping his brow. For a second, he almost seems to be pushing it back into *place*...
"We'll talk soon!"
@BleedYouDry0
1// *Houff.* It's certainly been a long day for West. Not that he's complaining, oh *no*- getting to partner with someone who has ambition, and a vision THAT strong...
Makes him miss-
@BleedYouDry0 "Absolutely! Just a moment, ah- I *should* have a card for you if you can spare another second..."
Strange. The longer he stands in front of her, the stronger that antiseptic smell stings her nostrils.
"*There.* Number should be on the back- do keep in touch!"
@BleedYouDry0 *Shit, he can't just tell her-*
"No no, nothing you have to concern yourself about! It's personal- system issues. I'm positive you understand?" He flashes her what he hopes is a reassuring smile, wishing harder than he's ever wished that he was back in his *lab alreadyyyyy*...
@BleedYouDry0 "Oh, the lab would be perfect, but- *mmhg...*"
He clutches his stomach for a minute, brows furrowed while he gathers himself. *Just a little longer, c'mon...*
"Maybe, ah. We could get in touch later? Schedule a day and time? I'm not, ah, feeling well."
@BleedYouDry0 "You *promise?* Perfect! Yup, you've got him hooked now. If not for the potential to be commissioned by a monarch, then by the sheer joy of being able to see something strange.
West takes her hand in his for a shake, careful to clean off his glove so no dust from him gets stuck
@BleedYouDry0 2//
"If something's been *requested* of me too I, *hah*, for my own ego's sake I'm not likely to deny it... no but really, is that *raw flesh?* I can see exposed veins there- how are you not drying out like this? Is it something external you apply?"
@BleedYouDry0 1// "Yes yes of course there's a monarchy *not surprised about the monarchy*- sorry, I am just... fascinated by you!" And he does sound genuinely fascinated- honestly, almost delighted to be able to meet someone like you!
If... in a mildly concerning scary biologist way.
@BleedYouDry0 I'm afraid you started losing him right after you admitted you're made of raw meat and organs. Cali looks away for a split second and he's already much closer, the smell of disinfectant hovering around him while he nods absently.
"*I see, ...* you said I was being sought after?"
@BleedYouDry0 West lets out a *deep* sigh.
"Oh, can I imagine what this next scare tactic is meant to be? I already know the animals are bizarre, that there's a strange concentration of likeminded scientists- for all I know, *hell* is real. What's under this town, hm? Zombies? Vampires?"
@BleedYouDry0 "Sorry, two characters?" He gives her another once over, putting his hands on his hips. "Is this a two-kids-in-a-trenchcoat situation?"
...
Leeeeaning in closer. "*Two-skinless-kids-in-a-trenchcoat???*"
@BleedYouDry0 ... Squinting now, as he carefully approaches. Not often he comes across someone he can manage to be eye level with these days, after all- and despite a lot of her being shrouded, there's something about her eyes...
"*Who is asking, exactly?*"
@BleedYouDry0 ... And now you're getting your soul stared at by those awful, *awful* bright eyes of his. Like a deer in headlights the fuckin' thing-
"*... is that. Who in the world is-* can I help you???"
3// -maybe he got too attached to the idea of working with the one man he thought understood *real ambition*, or-
"*Hhgk...*"
*Damn this stupid, faulty body.* Just his luck he was able to hold it together on the walk home- if one more thing stops him before he's fully stable...
2//
Doesn't make him miss anything. *Beanies* is the one that ran off losing his mind over a childhood pet. He doesn't *get* it, honestly- and is that a crime, not understanding?
Maybe West just hasn't had enough pets, or-
