we need some downtime

[grandhighblood]

Characters: the grand highblood
Setting: that weird spring forever floor
Format: don't care
Summary: he is bleeding a little but he's pretty beat up from that fight, and worn out. being a big target is tough work, ok??? he's been wandering around the new floors and found himself sitting out in the middle of the grassy field. oh god do you want to approach him? he looks surprisingly peaceful???
Warnings: the grand highblood

[ it's really bright on this floor, but he found himself adjusting to it somewhat. it definitely wasn't anything as strong as Alternia's sun. he's sore, scratched up, bruised and plain old tired, so he's sitting in the middle of a grassy field, surrounded by delicate yellow and purple flowers.

a very bizarre scene indeed.

he's just resting up, trying to regain some strength. ]

[JESUS JONES WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING

Even though it's gigantic and those horns do not seem very friendly, the weird... Hair monster looks like it's hurt and it seems pretty calm. ...And plus Stein's curiosity tends to weigh out her common sense more often than not.]

Do you need some help?

[grandhighblood]

[ the highblood barely reacts, turning his head slightly in her direction. He takes a minute to look her over, noting that she is possibly the strangest human he has ever seen. what kind of horns were those? we're they even horns? they looked gray and metallic...]

I have no moherfucking need for anything from you, human. But tell me, what is that all coming out if your motherfucking head?

[madscientits]

[Well, at least she confirmed it wasn't human.

Instinctively, she reaches up and gives it a few twists.] It's a screw; I installed it myself. It helps me think when I turn it.

And are you sure you don't need some help? I am a doctor.

[grandhighblood]

[He bristles slightly, but doesn't move from his seat.]

Twist that shit a little tighter then, motherfucker, and get this: I don't got no needs for fixing up. This shit does not even scratch the motherfucking surface of what I all had gone through in my lifespan. I got this.

[madscientits]

If you really had this, you wouldn't have gotten injured in the first place.

[grandhighblood]

Sometimes shit happens that goes all out of your motherfucking controls, and you get a few nicks and scratches that cannot even begin to be motherfucking avoided. Just suck it up and heal up on my own terms, is how I've been doing it for sweeps, so don't you all motherfucking get your pompous sass up in here with me.

[He doesn't make any threatening gestures, but he wears a nasty sneer on his face.]

[madscientits]

Offering to help out someone else suffering through this place is pompous now? Alert the presses, this is a scandal.

[She's. Probably dealt with worse than this guy. Maybe. But she'd rather not fight him right now, so... Quickly changing topics.] Is your entire species as tall as you are? Or are you the exception?

[grandhighblood]

[He snarls loudly, about to make another remark but then stops as Stein suddenly changes the topic. His strength slowly leaves him the angrier he became, so he simmers down to a low growl, still glaring at her.]

I am a motherfucking exception. Some fuckers think the age all goes on playing a factor in on this shit, but even those that are all motherfucking older than I, which are only a few, are not even motherfucking close.

[madscientits]

Your size is fascinating, if I can be blunt. I've seen quite a few humanoid creatures larger than the average human, but usually they look drastically more monstrous than you do. [Well. Maybe not drastically. GHB was a pretty scary looking fucker to be sure.]

And just how old are you? [The makeup and all dat hair made it a little hard to tell.]

[grandhighblood]

[The strangely flattering comment makes him blink a couple of times, and he lets out a heavy sigh. Counting the years of his life is always such a...chore. Who the motherfuck keeps track of that shit anyway?]

Let's just put it this way: Even at my current age, I will outlive your motherfucking pathetic lifespan hundreds of times over.

[madscientits]

So that means you're at least... 640 years old? [She baffles at that for a minute. Who would think someone would keep growing after such a long life, but at least it explains all that hair.] How is that even possible? Does your species simply have a longer life span?

[grandhighblood]

Nah, not all of us. The whole lot of the motherfucking pissbloods probably live to their motherfucking prime, then die off quickly. If they all got luck on their side, then they will motherfucking die a natural death, but that...usually ain't the case. [he laughs, licking his lips.]

[madscientits]

[She arches an eyebrow] So there's something special in your blood that allows you to live longer? [She stares a little more closely at his wounds. Well his blood does look pretty remarkable, if it really is that purple color]

[grandhighblood]

[shrugs!] Sure, my blood's pretty motherfucking special, but... not sure if it's some shit in the blood or nothing. Could be anything! It's just how the fuck it is, sister.

[madscientits]

I could find out for you, if you'd like. [She gets a hungry look in her eyes, obviously really hoping he'd accept. Even if it were nothing too invasive, a blood sample at least would be good enough. For now.]

[grandhighblood]

Find out? [He raises an eyebrow suspiciously.] How so?

[madscientits]

Just a few simple tests~ I'm sure for someone of your background you wouldn't have any problems with any of them. [Well he said these scratches didn't bother him at least]

[grandhighblood]

Tests, huh? [His eyes close a little, a weird smile on his face. He rolls his eyes up to one corner, as if considering this... then sort of leans in close.] Is a motherfucker going to stick the Grand Highblood with needles and shit to withdraw some of this royal fluid for the motherfucking sake of science?

[madscientits]

Only if you'll let me, of course. [She's not nearly dumb enough to actually say "Yup, exactly that."]

[grandhighblood]

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully.] What will you motherfucking offer in return?

[madscientits]

[...What the shit this was actually working] Well that all depends. What do you want?

[grandhighblood]

[He raises a finger, bringing a hooked claw close to her head, slowly...]

Dislodge that motherfucking piece of metal from out of your thinkpan, human.

[madscientits]

[She pulls away from the claw, not far enough where it would be running away outright, but far enough to make it clear that she was obviously not 0kay with that idea.]

Out of the question. Pick something else.

[grandhighblood]

[He doesn't look disappointed at all and just shrugs, pulling his hand back.]

Ain't that a motherfucking shame? Since I can't think of what I all want from a human, I guess we both lose...

[madscientits]

[Damn it all, she really wants to dissect this thing. She touches the side of her bolt gently.] I'm not entirely sure I could do it without it killing me. Are you sure there's nothing else you'd be interested in? Someone you need me to scare straight? Or perhaps even you want to know someone's true nature; I could see for you. [Seriously GHB what do you want from her? To take her top off?]
