WHO: Husk and you (with likely cameos from Jinwoo and Lapis)
WHERE: Network: Gemini- also Lapis & Jinwoo's home.
WHEN: 5th June
WHAT: Husk's bear in the bed comes home to roost.
WARNINGS: Swearing. Always. Probably alcoholism mentions.

[Husk has been spending time since the Douman incident with Jinwoo and Lapis. Largely because he wants to keep an eye on his daughter after what was a wholly traumatic experience for her, he doesn't want her backsliding any. But he's also two months behind on rent for his shithole of an apartment thanks to the Order not paying them, and this is easier than trying to dodge his landlord. It's... fine. He's stayed in worse places and he's even started tolerating Jinwoo's entire existence!

Which is to say when he wakes up to a fucking bear in his bed, the first place that his mind goes to is Tank and the stupid boy having summoned the damn thing. He groans, pushing his face into the pillow for a moment as the new pangs of the latest hangover start to seep into the back of his skull. He calls out as the bear starts snuffling at his ears.]

JINWOO! COME AND GET YOUR STUPID FUCKIN' BEAR!

[The shouting clearly upset the definitely-not-Tank-bear as it roars at Husk, bearing its teeth. Given that's something Tank has never actually done to Husk, it's enough to bring full wakefulness to the demon as he opens one eye and- oh shit that's an actual fuckin' bear!

Not really wanting to anger it any more, given it's sitting RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM AND SNARLING- Husk carefully reaches out to grab his phone. He meant to just text Lapis, but Gemini is open and he can't really see the screen that well, so- ]

Fckn BEAR! Im my room!!! Cme get it!!11!!

[He can SURVIVE a bear attack, he knows that much now. But he'd also rather... not have to. Regeneration is a suck-ass painful affair. So, he'll just call the cavalry instead. He just doesn't realise it's the whole ass Gemini network, oops.]

[Well. That sure is a text message to get on your phone during a break. Unfortunately for Husk, Elliot does not realize Husk is talking about a literal bear and just--

Why. Just why. ]

What the heck, Husk? If you're going to sext, at least use a filter!!

[wiseoldbartender]

[Husk hears the beep of a new text, sloooowly angles the phone to see if his beloved daughter is bringing help from the whole BEAR situation and. No.

No it's not. ]

YOR NIT LASPS???

[Oh this is not fucking working, his stupid claw fingers suck at this at the best of times. More frustrated jabbing at the phone follows. ]

Axctual beaarr!!! NIT SEXT! Fckin dpsit.

[fiddlestick]

Oh.

[There's a pause as he's deeply confused to how there's a BEAR in Husk's room... but he decides to shrug it off as yet another instance of Husk's terrible luck.]

Good luck with that. Lapis, if you guys need healing, I'll be at the Vogue.

Oh. Oh, that's a bear. [ Helpful. ] Just... Just stay quiet and don't move, you'll make it mad...er. Madder.

"Do you require assistance fighting the bear?"

He was understanding that message correctly, right? Even if he's still not quite got the hang of texting yet himself.

[wiseoldbartender]

[ Husk turns the volume down as quickly as he can, trying to not enice the bear. ]
