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?

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.
[Spam with permission]
[Spam with permission]
Probably helped that Winston wasn't bluffing.
[This is a less workable method for normal secrets.]

[He doesn't smile, but there's a softening around his eyes. He might have been an only child, but Winston is still his brother.]

I thought maybe I'd do less damage if I was buried somewhere. When killing myself turned out to be impracticable, I turned myself in, gave them all the information they needed to actually hold me.
But it turns out there's worse than me coming, and no one else can see it. No one else has a chance. I could get out of the vault on my own, sure. But it would take time, and I don't know how much time I have. At least here, the clock's not ticking. I checked, a few times. Went back to the very same minute.
And it's not like I'm opposed to the work.

It's tempting. But I don't know enough about the scope of it. Applying cosmic power without working out all the ramifications first is how I got into this mess.
I'm still working on my wording.

[Spam with permission]
Seeks it? No. But I do think he'll give me what I ask for, and I'm pretty sure I'm capable of screwing it up all on my own.
[Spam with permission]
[Spam with permission]
But my record is a little spottier when it comes to actually helping.
[Spam with permission]
[Spam with permission]
And it means I need to know more variables than I do.
[He's possibly not just talking about his own deal. Mostly he is, though.]
[Spam with permission]
[Spam with permission]
At least over here I'm accomplishing something. I'll figure it out.
