PREACH TO THE CHOIR
IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE
[4:49:43 PM] carlos the scientist: i know BUT I REALLY WASN’T EXCEPTING THAT
[4:49:54 PM] Kevin Free: WELCOME TO ATTACK ON TITAN BITCH
{ AND DESERT BLUFFS ONES BECAUSE TYLER TOLD ME I HAD TO }
° ;; [ Being licked was, oddly enough,
was something Carlos could handle.
Though, for it to come from Kevin,
and from his ( second mouth ) at that rate,
made the scientist shudder in his lab coat. ]
"Please. Don’t do that.“
° ;; [ His expression is far from an amused one,
unsure what where to lay his attention to:
The mouth speaking
or the one with the slying grin. ]
“Perfection is fairly relative idea.
There’s really no such thing.”
° ;; [ To answer Kevin’s question:
As if he wanted to take a scolding shower
with all of his clothes still on.
Every part of the scientist screeches at how wrong it is.
This is not Cecil. This is not kind, and warm, and loving.
This is cold, and foul, and loveless.
Carlos straightens his shoulders exacting the fact
he will not fall. Not just yet. ]
“Contrary to popular belief,
Strex systematically buying everything in Night Vale,
doesn’t give you free reign to do whatever you want.”
° ;; [ Carlos moves quickly to grab the host
( not his host mind you )
by the shoulders and remove him from being
anywhere near his lips.
It tastes bitter and of blood as the scientist
wipes the sleeve of his lab coat over his mouth,
shuddering at the new scarring memory,
being almost sure that Kevin bit him. ]
° ;; [ His brow knits together at the claims Kevin is throwing out.
Ma of science isn’t incline to believe anything without poof.
Frankly, Carlos knows better but
His tone took a stern undertaking anyway. ]
“I’m going to have to disagree with you, Mister Free.
On both accounts.”
“To the right? Oh, no pr—” Kevin really was going to step to the right. Really, he was. Instead, he giggled when he saw that it was Diego making this request. Obviously he was too busy to realize who it was he was speaking to.
So, Kevin made sure Diego knew who it was he was about to run into. Kevin, instead of stepping to the right, stepped to the left and kissed Diego on the cheek.
“I didn’t think I’d see you today! I thought you said you’d be out dealing with… things.” Things being those awful Night Vale children. “But it seems you’re busy doing… other things that are not the real things you told me you’d be doing.” Kevin was not clingy or invasive; he was just the perfect amount of concerned.
° ;; [ Frankly, he’s too intent on watching the ever
fluctuating counter to take notice of who
exactly in response to the request,
but the scientist knows there is only one
who would openly plant a kiss on his cheek. ]
“I thought you were held up at the statio-“
As his gaze leaves the device held
tightly in his hand, almost in preparation
to return the affectionate gesture.
Carlos makes an unfortunate realization.
This was not Cecil.
There’s a staggering step from the man,
coloring quickly draining from his face in
response of the kiss.
Warning flags signaling from corner of his mind. ]
”I Uh I I apologize but I think there’s been
a mistake here.”
