on hopefully only *temporarily* losing his morpher to Astronema

Dude, mun, I cannot believe you let her---

What do you mean it was bound to happen? I'm not--

I hate you so much, and I better get it back.

Astronema's having all the fun. She just pushed me off a clif. Sure, I didn't think it was gong to be a big deal, having wings and all but....I think I just died.

I can't believe you lost your morpher.

It was therapeutic, at least until the point where you had to go and die.

Calm down. [Andros is giving you a look Zhane. He might need a hug]

I really didn't think it was going to be that big of a deal. I went to check out why this island was floating, but I got really tired and had trouble controlling my morph. I think the island drugged me. Islands can't drug you though. They're islands.

I'm fine. [pause] I'll be fine.
onlyhappywhenitzhanes: (hug)

I'M SO RUSTY LMAO YOU'RE WAY MORE WONDERFUL

[personal profile] onlyhappywhenitzhanes 2016-10-23 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You're telling me you got pushed off a cliff, and you died , and I'm supposed to calm down?!

[Zhane's voice is getting higher and squeakier, but he passes a hand through his hair and forces himself to take a breath, and listen.]

......okay, I'm gonna need the extended version of that. Why are you on some creepy island anyway? Where's the ship? What's happening with everyone el-

[Except then the tiredness in his best friend's expression and that note in his voice register, and Zhane's barrage of questions stops. Yeah, he'll gather Andros up in a gentle worried hug now.]
killedzordon: (Default)

YOU'RE SO GREAT! <3

[personal profile] killedzordon 2016-10-23 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Andros gratefully returns the hug. Zhane. That might have even been a smile you saw crack his worried expression there. It might be getting bigger. Because. Zhane. And for Andros, Zhane makes everything better.]

I'm still not sure what happened. I woke up on these floating islands with Karone--Astronema....we're working on it. The locals either don't know what's going or they're under orders not to say anything. I didn't get as much recon done as I wanted too...Astronema started threatening people at staff point.

So I used my battlizer and thought I could at least find out if there was a forcefield keeping the island afloat. Get some information.

[Andros took a breath]

I told Astronema she could push me if she thought it would be therapeutic. And she did. I didn't have any problems at first, but the further down I went...I don't know. Something happened. I got really tired and...I think I fell. Woke up a couple hours later in the house I was assigned.

[ooc: doing the email response thing which I never quite get right I'M SORRY IF IT GOES WEIRD]

[also holy crap I have skimmed through your journal on my little tablet and wow you are amazing with him]

[Zhane hugs him tight, because Andros is his best friend, and he looks nearly as crap as he did when they were about to face that last battle on KO-35.]

Yeah? I guess that explains why I couldn't find you on the Megaship. How long have you been gone?

[He makes a worried face at the comments about Astronema. Is she Karone or Astronema at this point? How safe is Andros, exactly - not just physically, but emotionally? Zhane reaches out a little, mentally, just to see if he can feel the edges of how Andros is doing just now.]

[...and then his jaw drops.] You told her she could push you? For funsies?

Andros, howsabout we get her a deck of cards, or maybe a good book, if she's bored? So she can not do things that lead to my best friend getting killed?

[ooc: awhhh thank you! Your so sweet! I love playing him!]

Only a few days. Maybe 4? I think I lost a little time when....I came back.
[Andros really needed that hug Zhane. He hugged him tighter. Considering what he'd gone through, he needed his other half. It was something that the rest of the team could understand, offer sympathy, but no one else had been there. Even when Zhane was in cryo, he had still been there.]

[Physically....he was hurting. Coming back to life after jumping off the island had given him resurrection sickness, which would last a few days. Emotionally, well, Andros was doing what he did best. Not talking about it and obsessing over things he couldn't change. Just as a part of him as always going to be that part, another part was always going to be on that battlefield, digging his best friend out of the rubble]


It was her idea. I was battlized. I didn't see the harm. Next time I'll suggest ice cream.

[personal profile] onlyhappywhenitzhanes 2016-10-24 01:42 am (UTC)(link)

{mwahhh oh bless you, I love how DRY Andros gets]

Four days, right. Okay........ When you - ?

[Zhane's eyes go wide and his nose wrinkles. He didn't find it a walk in the park to come out of cryosleep after two and a bit years. Actually DYING must make it... wow. He holds onto Andros for a while longer, and when he pulls back, it's only to slip an arm around the other's waist. A not so surreptitious offer of support for if Andros' legs do that wonky thing that they do sometimes when Andros is running on empty.]

[Oh, that gets him a snort. He grins at Andros, appreciating that he's trying for humor.]

Good idea. Mine's the chocolate bubbleberry with extra sauce.

[Quietly] You need to sit down?

[Andros lets himself lean against Zhane, and actually starts to relax, muscles he didn't realize he was tensing unfurl.

Chocolate bubbleberry, really?
[Andros made a face at his friend.]

Knowing my luck that's probably the exact flavor Astronema will want.

[Normally, it would have annoyed him if someone else had asked him if he needed to sit down. But this was Zhane. Andros shook his head, not actually sure how true or not it was.]

No, I'll be okay.

[pause]

How did you do it, Zhane?

[2 years was a long time to be in cryosleep. This was only a couple hours but, he wasn't sure how to process everything. what was the point if death wasn't permanent?
onlyhappywhenitzhanes: (Default)

[personal profile] onlyhappywhenitzhanes 2016-10-24 06:17 am (UTC)(link)

Yeah? I wish I could tell you some tricks about being careful around her.

[He can't, and he gives Dustin a rueful smile anyway. She's too good.]

[Zhane likes feeling Andros' warmth against his side. Reminds him that he's not dead, and that Andros isn't dead - today, anyway - and that's good, right? While there's life, there's hope? He rubs Andros' shoulder on the far side, in that half-teasing, half-bracing way that they have with each other.]

Chocolate bubbleberry is TOTALLY the best. You should try it sometime! Especially with extra chocolate sauce, peppermint sprinkles, and the snot-coloured yoghurt. It's amazing!

Well. She has good taste in icecream! She has bad taste in who she accidentally kills. [He makes a sour face.]

[...there's a tiny twitch at Andros not getting huffy over that. Not that Zhane doesn't appreciate it; he likes when there's no grandstanding between them. He's just as guilty of it in his own way as Andros can be. Andros tends more towards the grim 'I'm FINE' comments and he himself tends to be more 'hey, I'm feeling so good, watch me do this cartwheel whoops please ignore the blood'. But it does mean that Andros really isn't feeling so great.]

Okay...

Ah.

Ah. [Deep breath. Andros needs honesty, here, and openness. Not something Zhane's all THAT fond of, but for Andros...] It was weird. Took me a while to adjust, I gotta admit. I knew what'd happened, but I didn't know in here. [Smacks his chest with his free hand.]

Having friends around was helpful. Having you around. [He waggles his eyebrows ferociously at this. Meaning you'd better not shut me out.]

[Andros reaches out with his mind, enjoying the dual feel of Zhane's consciousness and the physical warmness of his body. It still surprised him that Zhane was alive. It'd been a year and it still caught him off guard, seeing him walk around a corner. It was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen and it never got old.]

That's gross. So gross in fact I'm sure that my two favorite people in the universe will totally go for it. You have a sugar problem.

....It was more my fault than hers. I should have checked more carefully. Figured out a way to get some data, find energy readings. Don't worry, I'm doing that next.

[Andros was so very familiar with Zhane's 'let me show off to you while I'm dripping blood to prove how awesome and okay I am' mentality. It wasn't that dissimilar to his own. Andros just refused to do cartwheels while proclaiming he was okay. Please go let him bleed to death while he broods angstily in the moonlight. He put a hand on Zhane's shoulder.]


I went for 2 years without you. You're my best friend. [I'd never shut you out.]
onlyhappywhenitzhanes: (Default)

Re: :D

[personal profile] onlyhappywhenitzhanes 2016-10-25 01:54 am (UTC)(link)

[Zhane would like to note that he rarely just walks around a corner. He strolls, or occasionally flat out runs when something's horribly wrong, but most often? He saunters, and he's very proud of that saunter.

He blinks at Andros reaching for him mentally, a wondering smile coming across his face. Reaches back, brushing gently against Andros' mind. There's no one he trusts like he trusts Andros. He'd let him into his mind entirely, if Andros wanted.

Then he laughs.]

It's only a problem if you stop. You don't have to deal with sugar highs if you just keep eating sugar!

All right. You got some backup?

[Andros sure does look pretty when he goes to brood in the moonlight. But that's the only reason Zhane waits for more than a second or two before he sits down with him. He knows Andros needs to brood sometimes. Everyone needs to be quiet, sometimes. But his best friend shouldn't be alone.]

...thank you.

Oh yeah, you're having a blast. Also you broke into my house, rifled through my things while I was dead and took one of my pictures.

Is this what I was missing growing up without you? Privacy?
