Who: Anyone
When: Day 92, Late Morning
Where: Level 3, by the common area doors
What:

[Remember those insect terrors the recent notice was warning people about? Nova's sitting by the common area doors with one of them draped across his shoulders. It's going for his face!!11

. . . To crawl up the side of it and peer outside from the better vantage point on top of his head. Completely unalarmed, he reaches up to feed it a shard of bone from the thoroughly gnawed pile sitting beside him. He even pets its terrifying insect head while it nibbles eagerly away at it.

Terrifying, am I right?]

I really wouldn't threaten me if I were you.

Or what?

I'm not threatening back. I'm just saying.

That was definitely a threat.

It was a statement of fact.

Call it whatever you want. We both know what you meant.

You're gonna do whatever the fuck you want no matter what I say, aren't you?

I wouldn't say I'm unreasonable.

[but I am Allen Walker that is sort of a thing. that I do.]

Fuck. You.

[Drops the gravity fuckery. Probably because his time limit's run out on it.]

[drops down, tightening the belts instead of releasing him, tugging him forward. it's almost like I was waiting for this]

I don't want to be enemies, Nova.

[practically snarls when he does, somewhere between alarmed and angry]

I was trying not to be.

Not addressing it isn't helping, either.

. . . I'm not going to hurt you. I wouldn't ever.

[drops his hands, retracting the belts]

[The terapede that up til now has been coiled tensely on his shoulders and clicking in agitation finally rears up and hisses angrily at Allen while Nova steps back quickly]

I don't need to go running to Allen to deal with every fucking thing.

[not batting an eyelash]

When it has to do with how you feel about your relationship with him and his relationship with somebody else . . . maybe you should?

How many ways do I have to say no?! It's not gonna do a goddamn thing but upset him.

Don't be stupid.

If you're just gonna ignore everything I say then leave me alone! Go and do what you want already! Fucking asshole!

You're ignoring everything I say, too!

You're just angry that I don't want to do things your way! Like you somehow know better about my relationship with him than I do.

And what do you think my way is?

Stupid hope that somehow everything's gonna work out with fucking rainbows and sunshine for everyone.

I'm not an idiot. I know how things are. His time's getting split between more and more people, and that's just how it is, and I have to fucking deal with it. You need to shut up and let me deal with it.

I'm not trying to take him away from you!

That's not even close to what I'm saying!!

You said his time's getting split more, and you don't like it.

It's a fucking fact that it's getting split! And—what the hell do you want me to do about it? Gut out my feelings again?!

I want you to—[makes a frustrated noise]

I don't know! Not—that. No! But—. . . don't hide it from him! He's not stupid.
