No NSFW please, Flirting is fine but don't expect it to go anywhere unless I know you

If your a jerk to ME your probably just gonna get blocked

Basi doesn't have their own blog, just appears here

Both Basi AND Gorgon accept magic anons, with some conditions: No anons that make either Abled. I will just block you. Nothing that asks Basi to present masc and nothing about characters who aren't Basi or Gorgon, even if they do show up.

Axisk is only available for asks and RP SOMETIMES, trying to ask for him outside of that time won't work and I probably won't keep it

... Weren't you Dead?

- @agentgorgonspeaking

"Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated."

[agentgorgonspeaking]

".... Did you lose your ability to have original One liners when you got fried or have they always been that bad and you've been using a ghostwriter all this time."

-Basi

[agentgorgonspeaking]

OOC: Guess who's got energy again finally! This enby! Which means everyones favorite researcher and her bastard snake child are here to be bothered again!

[agent-flyingfox]

Did you really have to hold Shawn's Donuts hostage until he finished his file on you? Cause that's really funny. Especially considering he's usually So Nosy about it

- Basi @agentgorgonspeaking

"Why of course, Basi! They hired me for a reason - Might as well show them what the great Agent Flying Fox is capable of! Harhar!

I...did get a bit of a scolding afterwards. You know how precious he is with them, especially those donuts with the pink icing and sprinkles. I still get a bit of a side eye whenever I walk past him in the lunch room.

It turned out fine in the end though. I am man of my word, they were returned to him unscathed."

Best regards,

Agent Flying Fox

[agentgorgonspeaking]

The child giggles with the absolutely evil undertone of a 12 year old left unsupervised just a touch too often and is perhaps a bit to eager to inflict violence.

"Oh yeah, I don't think he's Ever forgotten the time me and Jiangshi got him, or forgiven. That's about the time he stopped ordering any with red things on them. I think he tried to get hotsause Banned from the agency even. Like we got it from the agency cafeteria I snuck that bottle in fair and square."

They cover their mouth with both hands to suppress their giggle.

"I'm more just surprised he needed the motivation, he loves filling out files, he's really annoyed that my mom won't let him put things in about her as much. That's why we hotsause donut'd him, me and Jiangshi AREN'T just chaos for chaos's sake after all."

Basi holds out their hand.

"Anyway, it's nice to meet you agent Flying Fox!"

[agent-flyingfox]

"Bahahah! Hot sauce and red things... Did you inject hot sauce into his jam donuts? That's creative!

As much as I respect the mischief and tomfoolery, I'd be shattered if that caused an agency-wide hotsauce ban. A step too far, even for me, heh.

But, now that you ask, it is a bit odd that Shawn took so long to write my file. I've always thought he was having a slow day or a long queue. My onboarding here was a bit awkward and hashed, even for my standards.

And...Your mum has been able to negotiate with Shawn about the contents on her file? How did that go for her? That... would have been a better use of my time stealing those donuts"

*Flying Fox shook Basi's hand back, light bouncing off a golden watch beneath his sleeve*

"Ah - A bit of a ramble there. I've heard about you out and about in the Agency. It's nice to meet you in person, Basi!"

Kind regards,

Agent Flying Fox

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Basi hummed softly. making a bemused expression over the handshake.

"Momma's agent name isn't Gorgon for nothing. She gave him the glare and threatened to feed his questionnaire to him if he didn't stop harassing her and he wisely decided to back down. I dunno how well it'd work for other people."

They notice the watch, but don't comment on it, sure shiny jewelry isn't TO common among agents for the risks of being spotted, but their babysitter was a person that walked around in a white, sleeveless, bulletproof trenchcoat. A watch hidden by a sleeve was tame compared to that, though seeing it reminds them of the time

"I bet you've heard of me, I'm a little bit infamous."

He gets a cheeky grin. Their not wrong, a child born to an agency researcher who refuses to tell who the father is, has an implant by 8 and is considered a practical genuis due to a lifetime of being near the agency at 12. There's a lot of chatter around little Basilisk. Most of it grumbling when coming from victims of their attempts to entertain themself and their best friend considering how public school was absolutely off the table for both.

"Anyway, I gotta go, stuff to do and all that, hope you have a good day!"

They roll back after the handshake is dropped and are off down the hall.

[agentgorgonspeaking]

*Bugs sneaks into the office*

*She places a pumpkin bucket full of candy she got from trick or treating onto the desk*

*Then sneaks away before anyone could see her*

Gorgon walks in afterwards, looking at the pumpkin with confusion.

"Hmm, I could have sworn-"

[agentbuggy]

*Bugs quietly peeks through the door*

*Gorgon’s inside…*

*Bugs sneaks around Gorgon and places a stuffed elephant next to the pumpkin when she isnt looking*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

At that Gorgon gets Quite confused, and seemingly a little frightened even? She stands again, tensed.

"Hello? Is something going on? Basilisk if that is you please do not-"

Her voice is a little louder then the normal quiet almost mumble, nerves clear in it if you've heard what she actually sounds like calm.

[agentbuggy]

*Bugs then sneaks to the door and closes it shut but stays in the office, before Gorgon could see her she quietly rushes to a hiding spot, waiting for her next move*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon actually jumps at the door closing, breathing kicking up for a second before she sits down and forces herself to breath. She's fine, it's probably just someone playing a prank and that was probably them leaving. She'll be fine.

"Alright, Alright, you're in the agency, nothing bad could happen while your actually here."

She takes off her glasses to rub at her temples gently. Humming to regulate.

[agentbuggy]

*Buggy silently giggles to herself before placing a note next to the rabbit when Gorgon is facing the door, the note is written in orange*

“OOOOO! SPOOKY GHOST -The ghost in your office”

*Bugs knocks on the desk to get her to look at the note and silently scurries to a different part of the room where Gorgon won’t see her*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon visibly jumps again, turning around and spotting the note, the tension lets out of her body. Oh this is someone's idea of a prank.

"Alright, if there is a child in the vents, there better stop being a child in the vents right now, I do not care how small you are, your not supposed to be up there-"

[agentgorgonspeaking]

*Bugs sneaks into the office*

*She places a pumpkin bucket full of candy she got from trick or treating onto the desk*

*Then sneaks away before anyone could see her*

Basi holds out their hand.

"Anyway, it's nice to meet you agent Flying Fox!"

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Whatever magic had been at work loses its grip, retreating back as trick or treaters trail off to their nice warm beds. And once again, what was once known as [NAME LOST] fades back from where eyes can see and voices can reach. And once more he is merely memory and emotions sustained by love, absence and obsession.

[A??? Is no longer available for asks.]

[agentgorgonspeaking]

oh shit, blog haunted? Who's this guy?

"I would have thought that obvious enough. I'm the inciting incident, the origin point, the thing that never gets easier."

"In other words, I'm what's haunting this narrative, in more ways then you think."

He winks one green eye, flickering as he does.

"You can refer to me as... A, however. I'm, my name isn't quite solid- I had a lot of them, but that letter is a constant. Its hard to keep things in order after you lose your sense of time."

[agentgorgonspeaking]

*Buggy is romping around the halls, dressed as a little witch and Boo prancing right beside her, when she sees A*

*She stops are stares*

Hm?

…….Who are you?

The phantom flickers to face her instead of turning, before his eyes crumple into a smile.

"Oh, no one special little one. Just some memories looking out for those who remember them. You know how it goes."

His voice is, strange, otherworldly, almost as if it was meant for a different audience.

[agentgorgonspeaking]

While Gorgon is busy for work and Basi is busy putting the trick in trick or treat. Someone else gets a little more solid, a little more real, a little more... Haunting. The veil is thin and a collection of memories and emotions spins into a ghostly apparition. Pale blue with only hints of ginger hair and green eyes as clues to his identity. The secrets of the past might be dead- that doesn't mean they're gone.

[A??? Is Available for Asks.]

[agentgorgonspeaking]

*Bugs peeks through the door*

Hello!

*She walks in carrying a bucket of cookies, cupcakes and other sweets*

Uhm… thanks for the other day! With my arm that is… you’re real nice!

*She hands over the bucket*

"Ah, hello Buggy-"

She takes the bucket somewhat awkwardly, she's wearing a wrist brace today, and sets it to the side quickly.

"I, you don't have to. I wanted to help, sometimes, knowing someone is alright is its own reward."

She smiles softly, adjusting her glasses with her right hand instead.

"How is your arm feeling by the way? Have you been taking anti-inflammatories? Using ice and heat correctly?"

And the mother hen is back.

[agentbuggy]

I know I don’t have to! I just wanna give something back! Also my arm is…. Uh…. Not THAT bad!

*She takes a second to think*

Anti-inflammatory? uh not really….I’m supposed to keep taking them….? Also ice and heat method? nobody taught me about THAT yet….

I-It should be fine still no worries! I think…..

*Buggy finally notices the wrist brace and stares at it for a bit*

….what happened to your arm? Did you break it? Oh! Were you also doing the fun stuff like I did?? If so wanna ride this random chair down a hill? Did that but with a cart and a ramp right after meeting a friend and almost broke my arm but it was REALLY fun!!!

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon gives an awkward little smile, sort of tucking her left hand into her lap.

"No, nothing exciting like that- just. I'm part of where Basi gets their issues from and there's an old injury that likes to play up occasionally."

She takes a deep breath, pulling out the ibuprofen bottle again.

"Alright, so, these aren't just painkillers, they stop and treat inflammation, don't take them on an empty stomach, and don't take more then 6 a day if you can help it, but taking one or two when you notice the pain flaring back can help treat it faster and heal better. For an injury like that you want ice for the first two to three days, while the injury is fresh, for 15-20 minutes with at least 30-40 between them. Heat wouldn't work well on this one since it's a joint, but your back is probably feeling a little out of wack due to the way your muscles are connected."

She recites it almost textbook like, a lifetime of dealing with the ways she would accidentally pull her own muscles out of wack for no reason and then helping her child manage their similar (and different) conditions has taught her well. She lifts up her wrist again.

"Simply ignoring the injury and doing nothing to treat it means you end up with long-term effects like this, where the injury heals improperly and you have to keep managing and treating it for the rest of your life, not very pleasant at times."

[agentgorgonspeaking]

*Bugs peeks through the door*

Hello!

*She walks in carrying a bucket of cookies, cupcakes and other sweets*

Uhm… thanks for the other day! With my arm that is… you’re real nice!

*She hands over the bucket*

"Ah, hello Buggy-"

She takes the bucket somewhat awkwardly, she's wearing a wrist brace today, and sets it to the side quickly.

"I, you don't have to. I wanted to help, sometimes, knowing someone is alright is its own reward."

She smiles softly, adjusting her glasses with her right hand instead.

"How is your arm feeling by the way? Have you been taking anti-inflammatories? Using ice and heat correctly?"

And the mother hen is back.

[agentgorgonspeaking]

WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO

*Buggy zooms right past the door, right after there is a loud crash, there’s a small wheel rolling by, looks like a wheel from a shopping cart*

*Theres laughing coming from down the hallway*

Instinct takes over and Gorgon is picking up the first aid kit she keeps under her desk and bolting into the hall.

"Who's injured, what's broken?"

It's about the loudest she gets under normal circumstances. Aka slightly above a normal speaking voice.

[agentbuggy]

*There are parts of a shopping cart everywhere*

*Buggy is on the ground laughing up an entire storm*

IT ALMOST WORKED!!!! ALMOST YEEEESS

*Shes kicking her legs in the air excitedly, somehow her scared face got slightly worse since there are bruises and cuts on it*

Huh? OH HELLO THERE PAL!!!

*she sits up and waves enthusiastically to Gorgon*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon lets out a breath, ok, a few scrapes but majority unharmed. Shinanagins level- not normal but acceptable.

"Hello Buggy, what is, well, this?"

She gestured to the everything.

"And would you like some help with those scrapes?"

[agentbuggy]

NAAAAH NO HELP NEEDED!!!

Thanks though!

ALSO IM TRYIN TO GET THIS THING AS FAST AS I CAN!!!! IM SO CLOSE THAT WITH A FEW MORE ROCKET I COU-

….oh…..

*she sees the remains of the cart*

Well that’s a shame…. Aaaw I found this at a lake toooooooo!

*She tries to get up to her feet but when she tried to use her left arm she flopped back down and help her arm*

ACK- JEEZE!! Alright not the best thing but it’s fine…

*She uses her right arm to get up, thankfully it isn’t hurting*

Well grand I guess…

*She looks up at Gorgon*

No need to worry just sayin! Just a small problem that could fix itself!

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon makes a face, then levels a flat stare- almost but not quite a glare- at her.

"That, seems like a dislocation. Which is not to be left without medical treatment and can and will pull you from field work."

Her voice is, harder, then it normally is.

"That you are either going to let me help you with, or you are taking the trip to medical with."

Aaannnddd there's the mom voice.

[agentbuggy]

WAIT I CANT GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!! I’m sure they’re gonna get annoyed at me they seemed annoyed last time!!!

I REALLY DONT NEED HELP IM FINE!!

Also I’m not allowed to do field work anyways right now! That’s why I’m in this building anyways!

*Shes slowly walking backwards*

It’s fiiiine really! I did this and I had a feeling something this this would happen! Not to the extreme of dislocation BUT IM FINE!!

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon levels the glare at her. The one she got her codename for. The glare that makes most grown men freeze and reevaluate their choices.

"I am to understand that medical teams are More annoyed and upset at Hiding Injuries. And I cannot, as a fellow agent nor as a person who has grown to worry about you, let you just walk off with that kind of injury."

Her voice is solid with both concern and stubbornness as she moves With Buggy. Not letting her widen the distance between them.

"So either, I walk you down to medical or you walk into my office. Letting you handle yourself is one thing, enabling self destructive and neglectful behavior is another. Ignoring injuries like this is how you make mistakes that cost you, or others, their lives, when your body decides to quit out from under you."

There is, some kind of experience backing up her words here. Something like regret.

[agentbuggy]

But I won’t let others get hurt! I cant! Plus I have no one who will miss me if something does happen! Trust me! I’ve felt with worse!! My face literally was almost burnt off twice and yet close to nothing was done about it even when I came back to the EOD! I’ll be fine! I’ll relocate it somehow!

*Shes definitely panicking a bit*

I really can’t go back to the medical! I cant! They might just ignore me anyways! Like the last building did! Please….

*She Stops…*

I just…. cant….. do this again….. really…..

*She looks down at the ground*

*Shes silent*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon's hand touches her good shoulder, soft as can be.

"Buggy. I know, having doctors that don't care, that don't listen, is something that makes it almost impossible to trust it won't happen again."

The edge has melted from her voice again. Replaced with a sort of, somberness.

"But neglecting your medical needs is not the way to go. I am so, so sorry you've been treated like this before but I will do my best to make sure it will not happen again. I'm not going to march you down there, but I'm also not going to leave you injured."

She sets the first aid kit she was still carrying down before very gently taking her good hand and rubbing a circle into the back to help ground her.

"Saying you would have no one to miss you seems a bit much however, I'm certain someone as kind and ernest as you has a few friends at the very least. Not to mention, the animals you care for and the people that simply exist in your periphery that would still be sad if you vanished."

Gorgon squeezes very lightly on the hand she's holding.

"If you need me to, I can relocate your arm, it will hurt a lot either way, but they have painkillers and I don't have the things nessicary to treat the after effects and manage the damage to the joint, so I would really recommend an actual doctor instead. It's still up to you however, and once you've made either choice I will not bring up the other one, alright?"

[agentbuggy]

….

I’ll…. Can you do it? I can deal with the pain don’t worry….. I like it here better….

*She goes and sits down, she’s a lot more quiet*

Also….. I….. hm……

Nevermind…… just….. thanks….. for this

*She just keeps staring at the ground*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

"You can say whatever you need to. I'm not going to judge."

She kneels down slowly, carefully taking the bad arm up in her grip, one hand bracing the shoulder and one holding hers.

"This is the part where it will hurt, take a deep breath and I'll count to three, alright?"

[agentbuggy]

JustdoitIvebeenthroughworsetrustmedintcountjustdoit!!

*She starts to hold her breath*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon doesn't say anything in response to that, screwing up her face as she moves the arm into position and, with a very quiet countdown to herself, shoves the arm back into place with a jerk, a loud Crunch-Pop and a wince on her part.

"Alright, it's probably going to feel tingly and numb, I have water in my office and some anti-inflammatories in my first aid kit, you want those now. Dislocations like to swell, yours already has, and it likely won't feel Great. You have to be gentle on that arm while it heals, and after that to, injuring yourself like that once makes the chances of the injury reoccurring more likely.-"

She's rambling a bit, checking she got it back into place properly.

[agentbuggy]

*She covered her mouth the moment she popped it back*

I-It’s fine I d-don’t need the water o-or stuff like that

*She tries to calm down, she’s putting on a brave face*

I-I didn’t mean to get hurt…. It just happened….R-really! Sorry miss….. and thanks….

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon hums soothingly, still kneeling next to her.

"I would feel better if you took some, and you'll heal faster as well."

She sighs softly, shaking her head.

"I'm not Mad at you for getting Hurt. I'm sorry if my reaction seems that way. If I'm mad, it's at the people who seem to have convinced you your a Bother for needing help. I was Upset because you were putting yourself so low on the prority list. Your far to young to be looking at yourself as expendable."

She looks at Buggy, eyes soft with concern.

"Honestly no one should feel that way, but to impose that on a kid, or a teenager, isn't fair. I've spent Basi's whole life making sure they didn't feel like I did as a child for that exact reason."

She's only a little projecting.

[agentbuggy]

Right….. okay… I’ll take some….

*She wipes her face with her good arm and finally looks up, she’s hiding the fact that there may have been tears*

U-uh…..

*She just suddenly hugs her, only one arm is wrapped around while the other is in her lap*

Thanks….

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon hugs back, careful on her bad side and tightly on the good, pressing her face gently into the top of Buggy's head.

"Always, here, stand slowly, I'll see if I can't find something to act as a sling somewhere, maybe get you something more suitable later."

She moves to help Buggy up and back down the hall.

[agentbuggy]

you’re so nice….

U-uh…. So….. what happened when you were a kid? You said something about not having Basi feel like you did before, so what happened?

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon sighs, picking back up her first aid kit as they walk back to her office, its a bitter sound.

"Several things that made it, very hard to not blame myself for the fallout of. I was the result of an affair, my father was married and my mother wasn't. When I was about 5 she decided she'd had enough of being a single mother, and dumped me on my father with his existing child, my sister, and his wife being blindsided."

She makes a pained face, like she's bitten into something unexpectedly sour. opening the door to her office and leading Buggy over to take over her own chair. Pulling out the ibuprofen and fishing in a small minifridge for a bottle of water to take it with.

"I don't blame his wife, my sister's mother, for how she reacted, she left him, my sister chose not to go with her, and she was old enough the choice was respected, because she thought someone should be on my side. She was the one to actually raise me."

Another sigh.

"Of course, when your 5, all you see is your mom leaving you with a new family and said family falling apart seemingly because of you. I always felt guilty, felt like there was some debt I had to repay for it before I was "allowed" things. Needless to say I was not a very happy child for it. I made myself small, unobtrusive as possible, tried to handle things on my own. My sister did her best but, She was a child to."

There are still things she leaves out, but thats the broad strokes of it all.

[agentbuggy]

…..oh….

Thats……..

….

*Shes quiet*

….it’s not your fault miss…. Trust me! It really isn’t your fault…..

Is your sister well at least? Hopefully she is……

[agentgorgonspeaking]

"I know that now."

She says it so softly, offering Buggy the water and medicine. The second question gets a long, painful quiet while Gorgon waits for her to take them before.

"Maddie, Maddie died, years ago now, it was an accident."

She doesn't say anything more on that, one painful memory at a time.

"When I had Basi, I knew I had to make sure they never felt those ways. Even if I wasn't a good parent, I was determined to be better then mine were."

[agentbuggy]

Wow…..

Heh…. Yknow surprisingly we are quite similar in a lot of ways huh?

*She takes the water and medicine and swallows them both*

…. Both us had parents who aren’t that great, we both feel like things are our fault……. Both of us had something happened to a sibling….

*She sighs, saying nothing else about it*

…..

An-anyways thanks for the help….. I-I really didn’t know that a random accident with a shopping cart would lead to this huh? The situations I get caught up in huh?

…

[agentgorgonspeaking]

"Life at the agency one supposes. You don't get the kind of unending desire to see Zoraxis fall without something in your head or your past driving you to help people one way or another"

She gives her a soft smile, eyes warm.

"You never know just what shinanagins life will throw at you, you either learn to roll with the hit or start dodging as she used to say."

She sat on the floor with a sigh.

"Your always free to ask me for help Buggy, however I can give it."

[agentbuggy]

Thanks……

Might I say you probably would’ve loved my sister…. She is the same age as me, we’re twins! And homeless!

*Shes finally cheering up, despite the fact that she’s talking about having no home*

Seriously, she was SO smart!! She’s the main reason we never starved!

Back then was probably the best years of my life believe it or not…. Just me and her, causing shenanigans everywhere…..

Ah! Sorry for that…. Just started remembering random stuff I guess…

*She gets up*

Well…. Thanks! I’ll get you something as thanks eventually!

*She gives a short hug, waves and leaves*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon lets her go, but calls after her.

"Your welcome, you don't owe me anything for it."

[agentgorgonspeaking]

WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO

*Buggy zooms right past the door, right after there is a loud crash, there’s a small wheel rolling by, looks like a wheel from a shopping cart*

"Hello Buggy, what is, well, this?"

She gestured to the everything.

"And would you like some help with those scrapes?"

[agentbuggy]

NAAAAH NO HELP NEEDED!!!

Thanks though!

ALSO IM TRYIN TO GET THIS THING AS FAST AS I CAN!!!! IM SO CLOSE THAT WITH A FEW MORE ROCKET I COU-

….oh…..

*she sees the remains of the cart*

Well that’s a shame…. Aaaw I found this at a lake toooooooo!

*She tries to get up to her feet but when she tried to use her left arm she flopped back down and help her arm*

ACK- JEEZE!! Alright not the best thing but it’s fine…

*She uses her right arm to get up, thankfully it isn’t hurting*

Well grand I guess…

*She looks up at Gorgon*

No need to worry just sayin! Just a small problem that could fix itself!

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon makes a face, then levels a flat stare- almost but not quite a glare- at her.

"That, seems like a dislocation. Which is not to be left without medical treatment and can and will pull you from field work."

Her voice is, harder, then it normally is.

"That you are either going to let me help you with, or you are taking the trip to medical with."

Aaannnddd there's the mom voice.

[agentbuggy]

WAIT I CANT GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!! I’m sure they’re gonna get annoyed at me they seemed annoyed last time!!!

I REALLY DONT NEED HELP IM FINE!!

Also I’m not allowed to do field work anyways right now! That’s why I’m in this building anyways!

*Shes slowly walking backwards*

It’s fiiiine really! I did this and I had a feeling something this this would happen! Not to the extreme of dislocation BUT IM FINE!!

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon levels the glare at her. The one she got her codename for. The glare that makes most grown men freeze and reevaluate their choices.

"I am to understand that medical teams are More annoyed and upset at Hiding Injuries. And I cannot, as a fellow agent nor as a person who has grown to worry about you, let you just walk off with that kind of injury."

Her voice is solid with both concern and stubbornness as she moves With Buggy. Not letting her widen the distance between them.

"So either, I walk you down to medical or you walk into my office. Letting you handle yourself is one thing, enabling self destructive and neglectful behavior is another. Ignoring injuries like this is how you make mistakes that cost you, or others, their lives, when your body decides to quit out from under you."

There is, some kind of experience backing up her words here. Something like regret.

[agentbuggy]

But I won’t let others get hurt! I cant! Plus I have no one who will miss me if something does happen! Trust me! I’ve felt with worse!! My face literally was almost burnt off twice and yet close to nothing was done about it even when I came back to the EOD! I’ll be fine! I’ll relocate it somehow!

*Shes definitely panicking a bit*

I really can’t go back to the medical! I cant! They might just ignore me anyways! Like the last building did! Please….

*She Stops…*

I just…. cant….. do this again….. really…..

*She looks down at the ground*

*Shes silent*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon's hand touches her good shoulder, soft as can be.

"Buggy. I know, having doctors that don't care, that don't listen, is something that makes it almost impossible to trust it won't happen again."

The edge has melted from her voice again. Replaced with a sort of, somberness.

"But neglecting your medical needs is not the way to go. I am so, so sorry you've been treated like this before but I will do my best to make sure it will not happen again. I'm not going to march you down there, but I'm also not going to leave you injured."

She sets the first aid kit she was still carrying down before very gently taking her good hand and rubbing a circle into the back to help ground her.

"Saying you would have no one to miss you seems a bit much however, I'm certain someone as kind and ernest as you has a few friends at the very least. Not to mention, the animals you care for and the people that simply exist in your periphery that would still be sad if you vanished."

Gorgon squeezes very lightly on the hand she's holding.

"If you need me to, I can relocate your arm, it will hurt a lot either way, but they have painkillers and I don't have the things nessicary to treat the after effects and manage the damage to the joint, so I would really recommend an actual doctor instead. It's still up to you however, and once you've made either choice I will not bring up the other one, alright?"

[agentbuggy]

….

I’ll…. Can you do it? I can deal with the pain don’t worry….. I like it here better….

*She goes and sits down, she’s a lot more quiet*

Also….. I….. hm……

Nevermind…… just….. thanks….. for this

*She just keeps staring at the ground*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

"You can say whatever you need to. I'm not going to judge."

She kneels down slowly, carefully taking the bad arm up in her grip, one hand bracing the shoulder and one holding hers.

"This is the part where it will hurt, take a deep breath and I'll count to three, alright?"

[agentbuggy]

JustdoitIvebeenthroughworsetrustmedintcountjustdoit!!

*She starts to hold her breath*

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon doesn't say anything in response to that, screwing up her face as she moves the arm into position and, with a very quiet countdown to herself, shoves the arm back into place with a jerk, a loud Crunch-Pop and a wince on her part.

"Alright, it's probably going to feel tingly and numb, I have water in my office and some anti-inflammatories in my first aid kit, you want those now. Dislocations like to swell, yours already has, and it likely won't feel Great. You have to be gentle on that arm while it heals, and after that to, injuring yourself like that once makes the chances of the injury reoccurring more likely.-"

She's rambling a bit, checking she got it back into place properly.

[agentbuggy]

*She covered her mouth the moment she popped it back*

I-It’s fine I d-don’t need the water o-or stuff like that

*She tries to calm down, she’s putting on a brave face*

I-I didn’t mean to get hurt…. It just happened….R-really! Sorry miss….. and thanks….

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon hums soothingly, still kneeling next to her.

"I would feel better if you took some, and you'll heal faster as well."

She sighs softly, shaking her head.

"I'm not Mad at you for getting Hurt. I'm sorry if my reaction seems that way. If I'm mad, it's at the people who seem to have convinced you your a Bother for needing help. I was Upset because you were putting yourself so low on the prority list. Your far to young to be looking at yourself as expendable."

She looks at Buggy, eyes soft with concern.

"Honestly no one should feel that way, but to impose that on a kid, or a teenager, isn't fair. I've spent Basi's whole life making sure they didn't feel like I did as a child for that exact reason."

She's only a little projecting.

[agentbuggy]

Right….. okay… I’ll take some….

*She wipes her face with her good arm and finally looks up, she’s hiding the fact that there may have been tears*

U-uh…..

*She just suddenly hugs her, only one arm is wrapped around while the other is in her lap*

Thanks….

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon hugs back, careful on her bad side and tightly on the good, pressing her face gently into the top of Buggy's head.

"Always, here, stand slowly, I'll see if I can't find something to act as a sling somewhere, maybe get you something more suitable later."

She moves to help Buggy up and back down the hall.

[agentbuggy]

you’re so nice….

U-uh…. So….. what happened when you were a kid? You said something about not having Basi feel like you did before, so what happened?

[agentgorgonspeaking]

Gorgon sighs, picking back up her first aid kit as they walk back to her office, its a bitter sound.

"Several things that made it, very hard to not blame myself for the fallout of. I was the result of an affair, my father was married and my mother wasn't. When I was about 5 she decided she'd had enough of being a single mother, and dumped me on my father with his existing child, my sister, and his wife being blindsided."

She makes a pained face, like she's bitten into something unexpectedly sour. opening the door to her office and leading Buggy over to take over her own chair. Pulling out the ibuprofen and fishing in a small minifridge for a bottle of water to take it with.

"I don't blame his wife, my sister's mother, for how she reacted, she left him, my sister chose not to go with her, and she was old enough the choice was respected, because she thought someone should be on my side. She was the one to actually raise me."

Another sigh.

"Of course, when your 5, all you see is your mom leaving you with a new family and said family falling apart seemingly because of you. I always felt guilty, felt like there was some debt I had to repay for it before I was "allowed" things. Needless to say I was not a very happy child for it. I made myself small, unobtrusive as possible, tried to handle things on my own. My sister did her best but, She was a child to."

There are still things she leaves out, but thats the broad strokes of it all.

[agentbuggy]

…..oh….

Thats……..

….

*Shes quiet*

….it’s not your fault miss…. Trust me! It really isn’t your fault…..

Is your sister well at least? Hopefully she is……

[agentgorgonspeaking]

"I know that now."

She says it so softly, offering Buggy the water and medicine. The second question gets a long, painful quiet while Gorgon waits for her to take them before.

"Maddie, Maddie died, years ago now, it was an accident."

She doesn't say anything more on that, one painful memory at a time.

"When I had Basi, I knew I had to make sure they never felt those ways. Even if I wasn't a good parent, I was determined to be better then mine were."

[agentbuggy]

Wow…..

Heh…. Yknow surprisingly we are quite similar in a lot of ways huh?

*She takes the water and medicine and swallows them both*

…. Both us had parents who aren’t that great, we both feel like things are our fault……. Both of us had something happened to a sibling….

*She sighs, saying nothing else about it*

…..

An-anyways thanks for the help….. I-I really didn’t know that a random accident with a shopping cart would lead to this huh? The situations I get caught up in huh?

…

[agentgorgonspeaking]

"Life at the agency one supposes. You don't get the kind of unending desire to see Zoraxis fall without something in your head or your past driving you to help people one way or another"

She gives her a soft smile, eyes warm.

"You never know just what shinanagins life will throw at you, you either learn to roll with the hit or start dodging as she used to say."

She sat on the floor with a sigh.

"Your always free to ask me for help Buggy, however I can give it."
