hadriel | ✘ Round 8

You all... you all are truly insufferable, you know that?

[Right off the bat, this is strange behavior for Glacius, who has woken up to an odd, subtle-but-familiar buzzing in the back of his mind. He might notice it from the last time the gods pushed him to lash out at people, but this particular brand of rage plays off emotions that are already fiercely strong in the alien: his protectiveness towards the people close to him, or in this instance, the one person he is closest to. He's always been frustrated at the treatment Carlisle has had to endure, in his own world and occasionally in this one, but this just pushes him to a breaking point.

At this point Glacius thinks he would like nothing more than to waltz out into the city and pick a fight with someone who so much as looks at his partner the wrong way, but he can't. He can't just wander through the city thanks to the ever-oppressive heat just outside, so that leaves him with only one avenue: arguing over the network. This should come off as extremely uncharacteristic of Glacius even to people that only know him in passing.]

It's bad enough, the trouble that I go through for all of you. But to put Carlisle through anything even remotely similar? My partner?! How many times has he come home exhausted, terrified, or in tears—because of what he has to go through here? Because of what you have asked of him, or of what you have done to him? All he has ever tried to do is help the needy of this city! If you've ever ended up injured, there's a good chance he has helped you directly! You probably don't even know what that does to him—and worse, this is how you repay him?!

So. [The ice alien pushes a little snort through his nostrils, as his brief but angry tirade is replace by a colder sort of fury.] Let this be your warning. If any of you come anywhere near him with any intent to harm him, physically or emotionally, you will answer to me. I will keep him safe. I must!

[And with that, some of the otherworldly warrior's true protectiveness beginning to bleed through, he cuts the feed. He's not sure if this accomplished anything and it wasn't even therapeutic to get out like he was hoping thanks to the outside influences still leaving his mind addled, but he can't just sit by any more.]

Threaded | Flat

[Lup manages to catch this broadcast earlier on into the day, before her husband's initial outburst. As of right now, she's blissfully unaware of anything going on in Hadriel. With all of the folks gone traveling, the city feels calmer than ever.]

Hatchi matchi, big guy. Think you're slatherin' it on a little thick?

[You know who left the apartment early, all hopeful for a change, ready to face the day and do some gardening, only to see this message come the afternoon? This guy.]

Never even heard of him.

what in the entire fuck is goin on here
sugarplum cant bust kneecaps his own damn self?

[Whoa what? Michael's busy dealing with his own uhhhh situation but this at least warrants a response.]

Did I miss something?
What do you mean we don't know what that does to him?
Who's been fucking with him?

[ so confused. ]

That's a lot. So did he get hurt?

[ because he got lost somewhere down the line........... why this dude so mad? ]

[Alright, this sounds absolutely nothing like the Glacius that Ellie knows. That's the only thing keeping her from totally losing it at him, because she hates being spoken down to, or being accused of shit she didn't do.]

Hey, who the fuck are you talking to? Because it sounds like someone in particular has you all hopped up, and you're taking it out on everyone.

[ The quality of the transmission may not be of the best, since Curufin is traveling on an orb-collecting mission and is far from the city now, but the gist of it is clear. He has heard the love and the awful frustration and anger in Glacius' voice, and he gets it that the gods are screwing around with the people who have remained in the city. He reaches out to his friend. ]

[ Quietly. ] Glacius. Something is going on back there, I have heard it in the voices of others who are speaking or texting on the net. Stand strong. It will pass.

{{OOC: Coming in really late on this one, so you don't need to reply if you don't have time. I just wanted to register that Curufin would have wanted to support Glacius and would have answered. }}
