not interested in deep conversations

Characters: The Grand Highblood + anyone
Setting: Cafeteria
Format: Any
Summary: The Grand Highblood is not amused by the food but whatevs?
Warnings: The Grand Highblood.

It's almost comical how the highblood is hunched over at a table that seems a bit small for him and eating a bowl of oatmeal(????). His face doesn't show his opinions of the sludge, but he doesn't seem to be hating or loving it. Surprisingly neutral, which is saying something if you happened to know the nature of this particular highblood.

He's pretty distracted, so you'll have a 50/50 chance of getting on his good side or his don't-give-a-fuck side. Then again, he is pretty unpredictable.

Do you dare approacheth the grazing adult troll in his not-so-natural habitat?

[THIS IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL GOSH HIGHBLOOD]

Great...!

[He don't really care though, seeing how he has to move as fast as his poor body will go, trying to stay low and get under the frisbee paddle. It still catches the top of his horn though, slamming him the fuck over. And now it's a mad scramble to get back to his feet and get the hell away before the Highblood catches him]

[Between the continued pain in his face, the way his head is still spinning and now trying to coordinate himself in a slippery pile of wood, FOR SOME REASON HE DOES NOT THINK HIS CHANCES ARE VERY GOOD...]

[shit shit shit, he can't really do anything to stop him, but he does grab the first bit of wood his hand lands on as he's dragged up off the ground. It's short. Stubby. Won't do him a lot of good in the long run, but it'll have to do for now]

[Grabs the Highblood's wrist for balance and thrashes out with his foot, trying to kick at the other troll's injured knee. Let go let go let go!!!!]

[Ah... well... there are NOT MANY ways to send a brownblooded troll like the Summoner into highblood style rage but... LUCKY FOR YOU, trying to take out his wings is definitely one of those ways]

[SO YEAH the second he realizes what the Highblood is trying to do he absolutely loses his shit, wings beating frantically against his hand, wood piece clattering to the ground forgotten]

[And then the Highblood's dropped him, and he hits the ground too. He should stop here. There's pain rolling in heady waves down his back. He can't think can't think it's too loud suddenly. He doesn't know how far the subjugglator got and that makes something shriek in absolute panic at the back of his head. There is nothing he fears more then being grounded again!]

[But the panic just adds to the clattering roar his thoughts have become, and without pausing the moment (or... you know... hour or two) that he should, he goes after the Highblood. There is no tactic to it, just a mindless attack, claws brandished, pulling chunks out of the Highblood's skin where and if he can manage it without slowing down. Really, he's only got eyes for your throat now, bro ('8 Good job]

[He's screaming]

[Well... someone's screaming. There's sort of a disconnect about who exactly it is. It's probably him though, cause the Highblood's just... laughing... and that sound keeps raking down his back like its own set of claws. He can feel exhaustion, maybe blood loss, creeping in, turning the edges of his vision grey. But he's pretty fuzzy on why that would be a thing that's happening too]

[His thoughts have narrowed down to a grand total of two things: panic about whether or not he'll still be able to fly. And wanting to wreck someone's shit. He doesn't even have the sense to care who at this point. The Highblood is just the closest thing at the moment]

[Takes the latest punch, trying to ignore the way the ground tilts rather sickly as he stumbles away, and then he's using the remains of a table to... launch himself at the Highblood's shoulder, trying to climb up high enough that he can finally grab him by the throat!!]

[He doesn't quite have the head to try to fight off the hand trying to drag him away, so he does get yanked off the Highblood's throat at least. But he manages to dig his free hand in around the other troll's collarbone before he can get any further]

[And as they hit the ground, he also locks his knees around him as best he can, and bites down on his shirt... thing... HE'S NOT GOING NOWHERE BRO, and in fact he's trying to drag himself back up the Highblood's body by the poor subjugglator's collar, struggling against the hand still holding him back]

[fff poor Highblood. Literally the only thing keeping the Summoner going right is adrenaline! It will be a terrible moment when it finally runs out]

[But uh... oh fuck???? Even through the buzz in his head he knows he can't take the Highblood's weight, especially not when his whole back feels like it's burning, pain adding more and more fuzz to the exhaustion grey around his vision. God he can't think he doesn't know how to stop him aaaaaaaah]

[At the last moment, he drops one leg and tries to dig his boot into that original knee injury, hoping that'll discourage him from having to put weight on it. It may be too late though. The plan did not exactly come to him quickly!]

[NOT BEING CRUSHED OKAY. HE'S HAD DISLOCATED BONES BEFORE. CRUSHING IS WAY HARDER TO COME BACK FROM OKAY OKAY]

[He doesn't even try to to stop himself from shouting in pain, as another wave of exhaustion rolling through him. It ends up sounding more like a sob then anything, actually]

[He can't do much else except dig his claws in at the Highblood's collar and his boot in at the knee. His wings start thrashing though, pain nearly knocking him out each time that fucking ripped up joint turns. But at least he might be able to catch the Highblood's arm, make him loosen up a little. Just gotta... keep fighting keep fighting]

[The aesop here is LOWBLOODS ARE STUBBORN DICKS SOMETIMES]

[YEAH WELL he can hear the exhaustion in the Highblood's voice too, and it MAKES HIM LAUGH!!! Even if it's just short and bitterly angry, there is triumph underneath it. Fuck you, highblood, you punched him in the face, fine it honestly barely registers around the rest of it, but you forget why he was clinging in the first place]

[Dazed and wobbling and in so much pain he can't even really see straight anymore, he shifts up that extra few inches and wraps his hand around the Highblood's throat again. FUCK. YOU. YOU BEST STOP HIM BEFORE HE GETS HIS CLAWS INTO THIS TOO]

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK]

[His response is immediate, hand tightening around the Highblood's throat, claws digging in, and... well this is probably really dumb. There's just as much a chance he knocks himself out as stops the pain, but he just don't give a shit no more]

[Bro, you're headbutted as hard as he possibly can. Which is pretty damn hard when his wings are on the line!!!]

[Hey]

[Hey Highblood]

[You know that smile? That you give to your victims? The really awful one, when you're really enjoying yourself? The one people are afraid of?]

[That's the exact smile the Summoner is giving you when he sees all that purple blood spilling out your mouth 8>]

[And it even stays there, after his wrist gets twisted and he has to let go so it doesn't snap, a pained wheeze escaping between his teeth. His mind spins for a second about what to do, and... welp, since his other arm got fucked up and there isn't any other way he can think of to make the Highblood let go... he's gonna just... take a bite out of his arm!]

[ARE YOU HAPPY YOU GOT INTO THIS FIGHT NOW???]

[identity profile] cabecilla.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[welp... this time the punch does its thing and he lets go. Or... well, he doesn't really let go, but his mouth goes slack against the Highblood's arm anyway. Given the size of his teeth though, they're probably still stuck in whatever holes he managed to make...]

[Actually his whole body goes kind of slack all of a sudden, just kinda... leaning against dis arm here, going all peaceful and silent. There is something numb and resigned waking up in his chest. He's okay with whatever happens now. If he dies, at least he knows he gave the Highblood hell. At least he knows he'll probably have a bit of trouble screaming with his throat half ripped out. HEH, that's actually pretty funny when he thinks on it]

[But then the other troll is shifting again, and while he doesn't brace himself for whatever the plan is, he is more or less aware of what's happening by the movement of his limbs if not by sight. His feet touch the ground as the Highblood sits up and... he still doesn't move, not for what feels like a long pain filled moment]

[And then, with one (probably) last rather monumental rush of adrenalin and strength, he rolls onto his feet, pulling the Highblood's hand still latched to his wrist with him and... kicks him in the chest. He's aiming for somewhere around the Highblood's throat or the aggravated marks on his collar where he'd hung on so long]

[But god knows he's tired enough, he almost doesn't care if he hits his mark. And regardless what happens, his legs give out immediately afterwards, toppling him back to the floor. He's just... so tired, you know?]

[identity profile] cabecilla.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He thinks about it! About chasing him. He thinks about it really damn hard. If thoughts could become solid, there would be a brick wall of CHASE hurtling after the Highblood. Because if he's retreating, that must mean he's really hurt, right? It'd be so so easy to finish him off... So easy...]

[...]

[...nnnnnnope. No way. There's no way he can make himself get up again. He's lucky he's even conscious enough to watch the Highblood's back, much less try to follow him]

[So he just... lays there and drifts in and out. Eventually, his hand starts going numb and he forces himself to sit up against one of the broken tables. It takes a couple tries but eventually he snaps his shoulder back into place. That final burst of pain twists his stomach, makes him want to puke, but instead he just... laughs]

[HE'S STILL ALIVE. It's a sudden revelation around the cotton in his head, and he decides right then and there that it is literally the best thought he has ever had. He is basically doing this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR44oOYjvOw) as he finally gives up, and slams into unconsciousness. Good night, Highblood. Until next time!!!]
