Scorpius is in Zero. He needs a doctor.
[And he's not going to say why unless he's pressed, because they've done this whole burn the warden at the stake for lashing out at someone thing before, and he doesn't think Ben deserves to be demoted or told he should be demoted for this..]
[Warden Filter]
[He sounds a little less hollow when he switches the filter, but there's still something off.]
Crazy question, but does anyone want to breathe down this guy's neck a little until he gets his own warden? I don't think this time out's really going to teach him much of a lesson and I don't think anyone else needs to get hurt.
I mean, I can do it, if no one else wants to.
[Filtered to Friends*]
[Peter is still bad about asking for help. Like, really bad at it. But he's super angry and still remembers being grabbed and threatened and being absolutely fucking terrified thanks to the flood, and he doesn't really know how to deal with all of it.
Like, at all. And he's apparently supposed to be better at reaching out to people now, but there's still a lot of hesitation and reluctance to actually be around people right now.
Except he did just sort of imply that he got in a fight even if that's not really true, so. Might as well reassure people, he guesses.]
I'm fine.
[Private to Ben]
[This part comes a bit later.]
Is he doing okay?

[He sits up, intrigued]

This ability. Does it work only through proximity? And how close do you need to be?
[Spam with permission]
I haven't agreed.
[Spam with permission]
No, you did not.
But why mention it in the first place?
[Spam with permission]
[He hadn't really thought about it at the time. But this is, he realizes, true.]

[Which is not quite the same thing.]
[Spam with permission]
Yet I'm having difficult associating your actions with genuine altruism.

I had a bad couple of years.

[Turns out though, not so much.]

[There's a low, simple horror to this, because it's absolutely true. He was starving, all the time, and only more and more destruction helped. If Winston hadn't stopped him, he would have ruined the planet and still not been satisfied.]
[Spam with permission]
Or for something else?
[Spam with permission]
[He twiddles his fingers near his temple.]
- energy parasite thing. It actually got the sustenance. But yeah, that kind of need. It was pretty messy.
The rest was mostly...spiralling consequences kind of deal.
[Spam with permission]
Tell me about this parasite. Is it conscious?
[Spam with permission]
And sentient. Enough to be scared of death, anyway.
