➣ Face facts, you are a hilarious drunk.
➣ Tell that person you love them. You know who we're talking about. Wait! No, not him! Stop you fool!
➣ While you were away from home, a stranger showered in your bathroom.

ACTION; FRIDAY

[ yeah so after kicking some spider ass (and saving his partner from certain, unsavory death), barnaby's back out for the day, not wasting any time, and heading off toward the battle dome. it's a decent walk from community housing 1, but hey, he could use a nice relaxing walk after all that. uh. spider action..

too bad he never makes it to the dome. because yeah, those woods all around it? who know they were full of coyotes. ravenous, bloodthirsty, maneating coyotes. and here's barnaby without his powers, because he just wasted them rescuing his partner. so by the time he stumbles out of the woods and onto the path again .. he's kind of in bad shape. you know, bleeding, torn, bruised, bitten, his left arm hanging limp and useless.

today is kind of a bad day. ]

FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY/SUNDAY

[ maybe it was the spiders. maybe the coyotes. who knows. but barnaby is compelled to drink. and drink. and drink.

so you can find him at any number of bars, complete with bandages and sling, getting drunk and laughing and smiling and generally being goofy and stumbling and being not at all himself. that little voice in the back of his head is pleading with him to stop this madness but it's somehow completely dwarfed by the irresistible urge to just keep drinking. his poor liver.

anyway by sunday night he's. really pretty awful. someone please force him to go home. ]


[ ooc; lmao SO YEAH feel free to stumble upon him any time. after being eaten by wild coyotes, sometime in a bar, or on the street between bars, or wherever. or if you, you know, want to be the stranger in his shower GO FOR IT this is all cool.

also he'll be completely unavailable from sunday night until like .. wednesday. recovering. so unless you beat his door down he'll be pretty much out of commission lmao. ]

[Man, Barnaby, that's a pretty pathetic sight. Normally she'd wonder which of the town's less than stellar residents you ran into to get that hurt, but Nami's already aware that this is a...special... week.]

Tell me it wasn't giant spiders, at least. [She can cope with anything but that, okay.]

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ .. yeah. special. don't expect to see this too often, so get an eyeful now, girl. ]

.. Coyotes.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[/takes pictures for posterity. But not really. Also, wait what--]





Coyotes.

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ take it with your mind, little lady; if you got photo evidence he would just have no choice but to kill you. ]

Apparently they live in these woods.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

This is the first I've heard of it. [Frowning. And she'll sit down on the stool and order herself a Going Merry, okay, because maybe one drink before leaving so she can ask more. And maybe offer help that may mess up ALL OF YOUR TIMELINES.]

How bad is it? [Hard to tell under all those bandages.]

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ barnaby blinks blearily, kind of seeing double here. TIMELINES, WHAT TIMELINES. ]

It's not awful. I'll recover.

[ in like. a month or something. but hey he's not feeling any pain rn at least! except between his eyes. ]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. [So agreeable.] If it's just some bite marks, it should be easy enough to fix. Want some help?

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ well, and a broken arm. but whatever. ]

I've alreadedy been to the hospital. But thank you.

[ please try not to notice that stutter. it's what happens when he drinks okay. ]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Well, whether you've alreadedy been to the hospital or not, Luceti villagers have access to more magical healing. [Yes, she just mocked your stutter. The question is: DO YOU NOTICE.] If you want, I can take some of the edge off.

[So you're, you know. Okay in a few days as opposed to a few weeks. And 'scuse her, turning aside to sneeze.]

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ HEY MAN HE TOTALLY NOTICED AND

it sounds really funny when you say that. pardon him he's trying to suppress some laughter rn, and failing. laughter. ]

I.. ah .. [ hehehe ] Of course.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Laughing right along with you, HAHAHA THIS IS FUNNY YES IT IS actually it kind of is, but stop laughing at her 8| You're the drunk one--]

You're just lucky I'm too nice to take pictures.

[No, she isn't. Taking pictures just requires too much effort. >>]

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ so drunk.

and while we're on that topic, he's going to finish off that glass of wine he's drinking rn. ]

You probabably just don't have a camera on you, is all.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Well, not a real camera. But a journal does just as nicely. [She lays hers on the bar with a grin.] If you can get a person on video recording, that's blackmail material, right there.

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ barnaby blinks, looking blankly down at the journal for a moment. then his eyes narrow, and he grins, nudging her with an elbow.

nudging her.

nudging her.

personal contact omg what is wrong with him. ]

.. Right, but you wouldn't be the sort of person to do that, right?

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Yeah well, she'll just...pat him on the shoulder and think Barnaby makes an amusing drunk and assume he is always like this 8|]

I would never.

[At least, not until she knows you better.]

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ oh please don't assume that. 8( ]

Right. 'Cause you're a nice girl, right.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Too late. *_* But don't worry, Bunabee. I'm sure she'll work it out eventually. :Db]

Right. The nicest of the nice. [She sets her drink down.] Okay, so what's the worst? Your arm?

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ she'll probably work it out pretty quickly, actually. though he's still keeping up the 'happy camera face act', so .. ]

Ah .. [ hic ] Yes. I dislocateded it.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[This time she masterfully keeps the faint grin off her face. Well, it helps that she's now focusing more on his injuries.]

But you got medical attention, right? So it's been -- uh, relocated?

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ the drunk stutter will follow him everywhere. like the angry lisp. ]

Yes. They relocateted..ed .. ed it.

[ that is a difficult word. ]

But it still hurts.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

You poor thing. [Hiding. Her grin. Try getting eaten by a dragon some time. *_* But seriously, pain is pain, and she sets her glass down.]

If you put your drink down for a minute, I'll see if I can do something about that.

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ hey, try getting beaten up by a violent super robot. pain is pain, it's all the same. .. well, except maybe for burns. they suck a little bit more. barnaby watches her for a moment, then sets his drink down on the bar. ]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[She'll agree with you on the burns. Nami holds her hands up like she's showing him they're empty and then will lay them gently on the injured shoulder.] This'll take a sec. Might hurt a bit to start with, okay?

[mindgooshed.livejournal.com]

[ WOAH WOAH PERSONAL SPACE INVASION RED FLAG RED FLAG RED FLAG even this drunk, barnaby is still pretty weird about his bubble being breached. so when he feels the weight of nami's hands, he definitely recoils a little, tensing.

but hey she's pretty cool. and if this is what she has to do to fix him, then he'll just have to put up with it. but he doesn't like it, and already he's feeling more sober as he stares down at her hands like they're a couple of spiders trying to crawl up to his face. ]

I'll be fine; go on.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[...um. Hmm. Not the reaction she really expected. Nami pulls her hands away when he first recoils, though they're still out. Hovering. It's obvious he has issues with it.]

...I don't have to. If you'd prefer.
