WHO: Tezcatlipoca & Others WHAT: 2025 catch-all time baby WHERE: all over WHEN: all times WARNINGS: threads will include content warnings where appropriate!
[ He makes a face. It looks... somewhere between annoyed and dismayed. For a Silco whose loss never came from those close to him, for a Silco who had never had to question whether the people sitting next to him could lash out and kill him, its hard to fathom.
Why, he wonders? ]
Why would I... he do that? [ A twitch of his lips, and he spreads his hands. How very Silco of him. The mannerisms are still there, just... softer. ]
Since you seem to already know him well enough to make other calls about this supposed "version" of me.
[ Tezcatlipoca can’t help but chuckle, since that grimace is so very Silco, but it’s almost like seeing his mannerisms on a stranger. He knows this man, but he doesn’t. It’s just as unsettling for Silco as it was for Daybit, but at least he’s gotten the shooting out of his system. ]
Sure do. I’m practically his therapist!
[ He says it lightly, like he’s joking, but that’s mostly just so if Silco does remember all of this? He doesn’t dwell on that comment. He can take it as a joke rather than the truth. ]
…Same reason as anyone though, yeah? Not that hard to guess. [ He shrugs ] He got hurt, so that’s his way to protect himself.
[ Even this kinder, softer version of Silco finds that hard to believe. ]
Hardly effective then, aren't you? If he's as miserable as you say.
[ Isn't therapy supposed to... work?
Then again, this version of Silco isn't aware that the man has made progress. Miracle of miracles. Tezca deserves a raise is what he deserves. ]
How did it happen? Getting hurt? [ Why is he even asking? He doesn't believe him, but maybe there's something to this delusion that Tezcatlipoca is living. Maybe there's a kernel of truth to examine here. Pull it out, and look at it.
Or maybe he's just a fool. Who knew? ]
I mean, I got hurt too. [ he tapped his eye. ] And I'm not... quite such a mess.
