[forcefulgift]

Who: Adrian Clark + You!
When: 18th Feb - 4th of March ish
Where: The ship!
What: Ade's punishment and fall out
Warnings: I mean there's gonna be foul language, references to death and how great murder is etc etc prolly violence maybe depending.



a; the rage beast cometh [18.2]

[Ade didn't even know which captain's door this was he just knew it was a damn captain's door. Something had been off all day, he'd woken up groggy which was a tell tale sign that he'd been drugged. He shook it off quickly before finally finding the door to the hold open. He'd been in a rage, expecting objects to lift themselves up into the air in his wake or at least that he'd have crushed a few chairs- that happened often enough that it didn't surprise him any more.

Nothing happening, now that was a surprise. To the extent that for a few minutes he'd been kidding himself that he was just totally zen about all of this- until he got back to his room and tried to lift a cigarette with his powers and nothing happened. Nothing at all. He raged, he swore, he punched, he did everything to try and engage his powers and nothing worked. He was powerless. He was basically human and boy he wasn't happy.

He made his way to the nearest captain's door and starts beating the metal frame.]

What did you fucking do to me. Come out here and fucking explain! [Oh christ the night.]

b; the rage beast puncheth [21.2]

[So no powers meant an incredibly worked up Ade. An incredibly angry Ade. An Ade who could have had forty adjectives attached to his name and it still wouldn't be enough to explain the sheer magnitude of the shit going through his head. He needed to blow off steam but apparently violence wasn't the answer so he didn't have the chance to go punch the shit out of an actual human being that bled.

It made him wish Athena actually was still around... because he'd probably kill her all over again and actually take it slow this time. But apparently that wasn't an option any more, because of their stupid moral reasoning.

Which is why Ade can be find in the rec area, stripped of his uniform and wearing his Xavier jogging bottoms and a tank top. He'd found some tape stashed away in a cupboard and wrapped his hands before setting in on the punching bag and trying to obliterate it.]

c; the rage beast drinketh [24.2]

[When there was nothing else left to do to try and purge the feeling from his system Adrian turned to drink. He propped himself up at the bar, grunted at a bar tender and got himself a bottle of something harsh and one glass, lining up shot after shot and knocking them back.

He'd get to the stage where he might deal eventually, but for now he was still so angry. There wasn't any remorse behind it- instead there was the all consuming rage that the captains had been capable of changing him so fundamentally, taking away his powers.

If he had them right now there wouldn't be a ship. There probably wouldn't even be an Ade. So instead he'll find oblivion in the bottom of a bottle. Maybe this is a good time to air your feelings about him.]

d; the rage beast wildcardeth

[Anything else you want from Ade that isn't necessarily covered here feel free to go for it!]

[Release, oblivion or really much of anything isn't something Tyler can find in the bottom of a bottle of alcohol, but there's still something to be said to getting a drink after a long day.

Especially when Ade's at the bar and you have the feeling that the day will continue just for a little while longer.

But then again maybe not. Maybe things won't really happen in any specific way. So, with a shrug Tyler just sits at the bar and orders himself a drink. After a moment's hesitation, he turns slightly to Ade and nods.] Hey.

[forcefulgift]

[Ade hadn't expected anyone to come near him never mind talk to him. When Tyler says hey Ade is already half way through a bottle, he turns towards the werewolf and sniffs disdainfully.] Alright.

[whynotgoonmyown]

[He nods, even if he knows it's not really a question and really just a greeting. It also turns out that talking with someone in these circumstances is really freaking awkward. What do you even say?] How've been holding up?

[Might as well get the basic out of the way.]

[forcefulgift]

[Ade just laughs, its a dry hollow thing that lacks all humour. Why was Tyler even asking him this; it didn't matter. The werewolf didn't need to know that Ade was falling apart about his lack of powers, he didn't need to know how crippled the mutant felt thanks to the chip in his head. He didn't need to know anything.]

Fine, mate. [Which was absolutely no indication of how he actually felt even as he takes another drink.]

[whynotgoonmyown]

[Well, it doesn't take a werewolf's scent to figure out just how not fine Ade is. He just nods as he takes take a drink of his own, now that his own bottle is here. After a while, though, he just slides it over. One look at at Ade tells Tyler that he's not the one in need of booze here.] Here. You obviously need it more than I ever will. [There's not even any pity in his voice, just... It's almost a basic statement of fact, really.]

[forcefulgift]

[Ade doesn't really look at Tyler, he'd been perfectly content to just sit there all night and drink himself into a potentially early grave. When the other man slides the bottle over though Ade's expression turns quizzical before rearranging itself into a sneer.] Don't need your pity, mate. Don't need you guessing what I need, neither. [But he takes the bottle anyway because man he was confusing. He was nearly done with the vodka too, so that was perfect.]

[whynotgoonmyown]

[He just shrugs at both the response and Ade taking the bottle of whisky anyway.] It's not pity, much as it might seem. I can't get drunk no matter how much I drink, you can and just look like you need a strong drink or twenty. Trust me, there's no need to guess.

[forcefulgift]

[Ade just rolls his eyes although learning that Tyler can't get drunk makes him a little more personable... and a little more wary.] You what mate? You can't get drunk? [His face twists.] What do you do then? [Because naturally there needs to be something.

[whynotgoonmyown]

What with booze? [He's raising his eyebrow at that.] I drink it when I'm in the mood, I still like the taste of a lot of it. I just don't get drunk no matter how much I drink.

[forcefulgift]

[Ade shakes his head again, a little too violently. It was clear that he was well on the way to drunk already, his voice gets a little more probing.] No. Not what you do with booze mate, but what do you do. If you can't get drunk- you must, you must 'ave something?

[whynotgoonmyown]

Ooooh, that. [Understanding downs on him, both of Ade means and how drunk the other man is, because uh...] I told you already, I think. I get high. Specially made pot that can get us high.

[forcefulgift]

Oh, right, yeah... [Ade just takes another drink then.] What's that like? Does it give you the same escape, yeah? [Even using words like escape were a prime way of telling that this Ade wasn't in his best mental state, his walls were slipping.]

[whynotgoonmyown]

[He shrugs.] I've never been drunk, so I can't really compare. But yeah, it's pretty good to calm you down.

[forcefulgift]

Like... ever? Christ. That's awful. [Because Ace wasn't just any alcoholic, he was a total supporter of alcoholism.] Might have to try it some time. [He laughs drily once more, taking another drink.] Ain't ever done drugs, not yet at least... seems like it might be the next best step.

[whynotgoonmyown]

Well, pot's not a bad drug to start. [He says, like he's tried so many...] Not physically addictive. But if you decide to try it, just try to be sober when you do. I've heard lots of people say they can't stand it when they're drunk and high.

[forcefulgift]

[Ade just laughs then.] That's probably for pussies mate, not for people who take to this shit like a fish to water. [Except pot might actually be a good thing for Ade, if it meant that he could chill the fuck out for once.]

[whynotgoonmyown]

Eh, fair enough, I guess. [Ade chilling the fuck out would certainly be a good thing.]

[forcefulgift]

[Ade shrugs, taking back to his drink and having another swig.] Anyway, ain't you got something better to do than sitting here if you don't drink?

[whynotgoonmyown]

Sad as it might sound, not really. Done with my work for the day, so if I wasn't sitting here talking to you, I'd be sitting somewhere else talking to someone else.

[forcefulgift]

Oh, right... [That was pretty sad. Ade acknowledged that he spent a hell of a lot of time in the bar himself but he was, at the very least, drinking.] That's a bit sad, mate.

[whynotgoonmyown]

[He shrugs.] Hey, I did say it first.

[forcefulgift]

Well you did but I thought it needed said by someone else too. [Because wow it really did need done.]

[whynotgoonmyown]

[He chuckles.] Trying to to get me to get my shit together now?

[forcefulgift]

Honestly couldn't give a toss if your shit was going to the four corners, mate, sorry to tell you. [He really didn't. Ade was captain of giving no fucks.]

[whynotgoonmyown]

[He really can't help but chuckle at that.] Figured, but thanks for the honesty!
