Day 276 | Central Asgard

[ He hadn't been of much use or help in actually moving or responding when the maid had come to perform her usual duty of doling out information for a new traveler. But that is so not his fault alright? It's one thing to be freshly inserted into a host body and have to reconnect himself to all the nerve-endings and synapses, but it's another entirely to be dragged through reality while trying to do that and ultimately merged together with the body he sought to feast upon.

So he's more than a little disoriented and KIND OF FUCKED UP because as much as Grower can enjoy a host he's never actually integrated himself like this before and it's taking a moment to realize that things going on around outside him are actually happening to him. Once he does? He gets up and more or less stumbles out of there without even once acknowledging her.

...In fact he's having trouble with acknowledging a lot of things, like spacial relatives. Grower walks one shoulder into the exit's gate and bounces off, staggering a few steps before he...does it again. And again, until he clears it and sort of twitches, gait not quite natural but at least he's going forward this is a success.

Just needs to get the hang of this "being a person" nonsense. While stumbling around rather aimlessly. ]

[Wow what's wrong with this guy? Rue follows him from the safety of the rooftops and watches him practically bounce off of any and all surfaces he fails to notice in time.

It's funny.

She seizes the opportunity when he walks between two close buildings and darts over him, releasing a handful of leaves onto his head as she leaps from one rooftop to the other.]

[ It takes him a second longer than normal to notice--just an extra note, until a bunch of the leaves manage to bump into his face and have him starting a little in surprise. Mostly because he's not used to actually feeling anything from his host bodies and that he most definitely felt.

...So then follows several seconds of Grower bringing a hand up to rub at his face....and then rub some more.....and then he's basically just pushing it into his cheek and smushing it around holy fuckkkkk he has a sense of touch this is the most baffling thing ever. ]

[personal profile] airborn 2013-06-12 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay...not exactly the reaction she was expecting. But a fun one nonetheless.

She uses his distraction to drop another handful of leaves on him, then ducks back on the roof to peek at him.]
growths: (bonk)

[personal profile] growths 2013-06-12 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He is just as fascinated by it the second time it happens as the first. Admittedly he pays more attention to the leaves this time, brushing a few from his hair and holding them out in front of him...experimentally crushing and squishing them because it's fun.

FINALLY though he will look up to see if there are more leaves on the way. ]

[He's used to keeping an eye out for Weird Shit, so anything out of the ordinary tends to grab Ryan's attention right fast-- and this guy's gotta be either totally out of his head on something, or some kind of weird zombie. He really would not put it past this place to suddenly have them after all... but okay, no, he doesn't look like he's about to fall apart.

The guy does look like he is about twenty kinds of stoned.

Ryan huffs out a breath, exhaling a last little cloud of smoke as he reluctantly snuffs out his cigarette, and carefully edges nearer.]


Heeeey, uh. You okay there? Need a hand or something?

[That comes with a wave-- less hey how you doin', more do you even see this hand moving.]
growths: (bluescreen'd)

[personal profile] growths 2013-06-08 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, the look grower gives him probably isn't all that reassuring considering how "I'm seeing through you" it is? But he has turned in Ryan's direction at least! Still, he takes a moment to properly step and complete the turn, wavering a little on his feet and letting his head dip and lurch forward a few times before he actually attempts speaking. ]

[ ...Which is basically him like half-opening his mouth to try speaking but he gets distracted sucking in a breath, sort of looking down and then to the sides like what the fuck did I just dooooo. He's never actually experienced proper breathing or the tastes in the air or anything.

Bodies are weird. ]

[And now he's even more sure this guy is on enough of something to get an elephant rolling. Okay. Just... don't freak him out and it'll be fine, right? Right.]

You... do understand what I'm saying, right? [Yeah no he does not sound at all certain about that.]
growths: (curiosity killed)

[personal profile] growths 2013-06-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No promises on the freaking out bit. He's still taking another moment to get his gaze properly fixed on Ryan, and when he manages to see him actually speak, the sound come from his mouth, that's when a little spark of recognition goes off. Noise comes from people, right. ]

--ght. Right? Ri-ght. Right? Noooooise....ssss. [ The sounds themselves aren't so noteworthy as the shapes his mouth needs to make to form the words. ]
averagemedium: (Default)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2013-06-08 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
....Yyyyyeah, noises. Do you understand them?

[Ryan's speaking slowly just to be sure, still keeping a wary eye on him.]

If you do, uh. Got a name?
growths: (curiosity killed)

[personal profile] growths 2013-06-08 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It takes a moment to process that, but when he manages it Grower brings one inky black hand up and looks down at it like he's never really seen it before. It draws his attention from the other for several moments--this wasn't him, this was the body. Should be the body, but he can feel that it's not like that. He's the body even though he's not, it's something different.

Experimentally he flexes his hand and cants his head, wriggling the digits attached to it. ]


It...mmmoves. Moves. With us. Moves with ussss, ssss. Ssssss. [ He likes the way that sound feels on his tongue, and looks up abruptly. ]

[And he's just going to be over here, backing up slightly. In his experience people that 1. refer to themselves in the third person and the plural and 2. hiss are usually Nothing Good. They're up there somewhere just below 'has fangs' on the list of red flags.]

Yeeeep, it's, uh. It's supposed to do that. So yes, looks like everything's in order here, I'm... just going to head on, yeah?

[He knows better than to just abruptly run, but definitely backing off just a bit quicker.]

growths: (catlike)

[personal profile] growths 2013-06-09 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ What a coincidence, Grower's host has fangs! Just tiny ones though.

It's not the retreat but something Ryan says--head--that actually grabs his attention and makes him take a step forward to follow, eyes brightening. ]


Head--head head, our head. It's not our head or the head--head? It's inside-out and in... Where's our head? [ Come on man this should be easy to explain. ]
averagemedium: (Default)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2013-06-09 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[That is #1 on the list of stuff that is really not reassuring, and he's seriously tempted to just go ahead and make a break for it when Grower steps after him. Ryan glances briefly over his shoulder to make sure he's not about to walk right into anything before carrying on.]

Um. I'm really not the guy to ask about heads being inside out, but it looks fine to me? On the outside, anyway. It's... definitely in place and all.

['Inside-out' sounds like it might well be accurate to him, though.]
growths: (what a pain)

[personal profile] growths 2013-06-09 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
In place? It's on....yes. [ Because he is going to literally reach up with both hand to hold his own head, and it is definitely where it ought to be. That's good to know even if he already knew. It was a nice reminder c: ]
averagemedium: (Default)

[personal profile] averagemedium 2013-06-09 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ryan pauses there, just sort of.. watching that. Okay. Potentially more disoriented than a threat? He's not really certain that the guy isn't still both of those things-- or of anything, really, beyond the certain fact that even with his experience in weird shit this isn't really a familiar situation. Instinct still says get the hell out, but the need to assess weird stuff keeps him in place.

It's exactly this kind of second-guessing that's gotten him into most of the trouble he's ever had, but hey.]


It is. In fact it looks like everything is where it's supposed to be, so I think you're all set there. Youuu should probably go find your House or something, they told you which you're in, right?

[Silently praying it's not Hel.]
growths: (what the flying fuck??)

[personal profile] growths 2013-06-10 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
House??? [ At least he's getting better at stringing together things at a faster pace? Even if it's only one word. He didn't repeat it three times! ]
