Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]


((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

The anger Derek has been feeling is magnified today. He's okay with that though. He wants to be angry. What's bothering him is that the sadness is welling up and replacing the angry. He doesn't want to feel sad or hurt or anything like that. He doesn't wanna feel weak.

He's triple-shifting his patrol in sector one, looking for a fight, considering going into sector six just to hit things without being trekked constantly. He honestly looks more like a caged animal ready to pounce more than his usual easy-going demeanor.

Late in the afternoon is the equivalent of morning for a vampire and although Spike isn't exactly a beach-guy, it's as good a place as any to have breakfast. He's got a few hours to kill before work — work, how did that happen — and so he takes his time chilling on the beach, sipping heated blood from a cup. Feeling kind of... mellow. Relaxed.

He does quirk a brow when he spots the other man and in classic Spike attitude, he can't keep his mouth shut.

"Oi. What got your knickers in a twist?"

Derek spots Billy Idol wannabe traipsing through the sector before the other notices him. He doesn't think much of it as the sector is pretty busy with people. When the guy actually stops to acknowledge him Derek pauses in his trek across the sector.

Then he lies. "Bots." Well, it's semi the truth, so that makes it only a semi lie. He's pissed about the bots here in Marina.

Hey, Billy stole this look from him. Let's get that straight right away.

"Bots." He echoes with a small nod of agreement, taking a moment to drink from his cup and lick the blood off his lips before responding further. "Nuts an' bolts givin' you a hard time, huh? Maybe you shouldn't hang around where they're swarmin' then, mate. "

"Honestly I just wanna find a way to shut them all down." From his perspective, anyone who didn't think the bots gave everyone a hard time was deluding themselves. But he was in a very destructive mindset right now.

And speaking of destructive. "Kind of wanna take them all out." Which he knows is impossible, but it's still the truth.

Nothing destructive here, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous. Spike's always been a big fan of doing what you want, damn the consequences and he never really understood why other people don't think the same way. If it's something you want, you go out and get it. Simple as that.

"So why don't you? What's th' worst that can happen, Mommy an' Daddy give you a slap on th' wrist?" An unamused snerk. "Believe me, it'll be worth it."

For the first time in a few days, he cracks a smile. It's barely there and it doesn't reach his eyes, but wouldn't he love to take out a few bots right now... as many as he could before he got that slap on the wrist. And honestly, it's nice that someone isn't trying to calm him down when he doesn't want to be calmed down.

But honestly, he'd never attacked one of the bots before. He didn't know where their weak spots were or how to go about doing it other than pulling out a straight out tackle from his own football playing days. "Have you fought them before?"

"Nah... not yet. They gave me some electro-shock therapy a while back though... nasty buggers." He takes a moment to take another mouthful of blood, completely unashamed. Casual chatting, and all that.

"How hard can it be though? Like fightin' a toaster."

"Well I've already been tasered by one of them near the kiosk." His eyes narrow thoughtfully. "Maybe if they were attacked from behind."

Finally, he looks down at the drink in Spike's hand. He knows it for what it is and he makes a few deductions. So far he steered clear of any vampires here in the dome, as far as he knows. He shrugs. "I tried to break into their building in sector zero."

As far as he knows would be a good disclaimer to have, seeing how many they are and even more so how many of them aren't quite as unashamed of their status as Spike is. Some of them are so stealthy not even other vampires know they're around.

"What would you do that for? That's one of th' sectors with the heaviest surveillance."

"I was angry, angry enough not to think straight." And it was a lie that he was that way. He still is. But he's trying really hard to calm down. In that moment at the kiosk when he's gotten zero of the answers he was looking for, he'd found himself with tunnel vision in a tunnel filed with too many emotions and none of them good.

He shrugged. "It happened. Can't undo it."

[Garcia is ever-perceptive and has of course noticed that things are not A-OK with her beau lately. And that never deters her from checking in -- in fact, she has about fifty times more need to do so. Which is why she makes time to catch up with him in his patrols.]

Hey, babycakes. Think we could pow-wow a sec? <smalL.[She's ginger about it, since she knows how closed off Derek gets when he's not happy.]

[He thinks about pretending he didn't hear that familiar voice. She usually brings him peace of mind. But he isn't sure he's ready for peace of mind yet. However, the idea of pretending he didn't hear his baby girl is only a fleeting one because he could never ignore her, especially when there's a chance she could actually need something from him.

After taking a few more steps away from her, he shoves his hands into his pockets, slowly turns around and faces her. His chin is raised a bit defiantly, masking whatever it is that's underneath the exterior.

[He waffles back and forth for a moment, deciding whether to tell her the truth or fudge it a little. He wonders if just saying one of the things that's eating at him will sate his best friend's need to help. He doesn't have to get right in to the heart of it all yet, does he? We'll see.]

Hotch is gone. [He looks down at the ground feigning loss of eye contact for sadness. Yes, he's upset that Hotch is gone, but he also can't look her in the eye and not be completely honest with her.] Reid says we don't go home.

[She knew that Hotch was gone, but she'd been slow to accept it. Still, she's not as shocked as she should be, by all rights... until that second thing.]

What do you mean we don't go home? Where did he go, then? [Garcia can feel herself wanting to get hysterical, but Derek's behavior is concerning enough to hold her together. Barely.]

According to the Wardens there's a place called the dimensional stabilizer where we go. Some kind of... computerized purgatory from what I can tell. An in-between kind of place.

[He shakes his head and looks away to the side, his brow furrowed with all the frustration and other emotions he's trying to keep at bay.] They won't let me in to see him. They won't answer any questions about it. I don't know if he's awake or in some kind of stasis.

[And he's probably gonna get in trouble for the damage he did to their precious door at the kiosk. Two dents. And they had to use a taser on him. This is more than enough unhappiness to cover up what he's really unhappy about.] I don't know what to believe. Everyone lies. Even bots.

Computerize purgatory? Oh my God. [This is -- that's way worse than being here! What the hell?!] Derek... I know I can't promise anything here, but I will focus all my energy on finding Hotch wherever he is and sending him home or getting him back here. I mean, if I just find the right thread to pull...

[...Wait.] What do you mean "everyone lies"?

I mean I don't know how much of what the Wardens say is truth. It's like walking around in circles trying to get an answer from them. You never get anywhere.

[He sounds very snappish in the way he says all of that. And he almost never snaps at Garcia unless he's in this kind of upset. He draws a deep breath and nods.] I know you'll do what you can.

[He pauses, his voice quieter when he speaks again.] I'm worried that in the mindset I'm in, that I'm gonna mess this up with you. [At the word 'this' he waves his hand back and forth between the two of them. When Derek's trust is broken, his reaction is to close off and back away from everyone.]

Oh. Well I'd say that's understandable. Why should we trust anything they say? [Somehow she got a different feeling from what he said, but she's not going to think he's lying to her unless she has a reason to.]

Derek... [Garcia steps closer, arm out.] The only way you can mess this up is to not tell me what's going on. I'm here for you, just like you would be for me if I wasn't okay. Just let me help.

[Derek looks down at that hand for a moment, hesitating, and then putting his hand with the bruised and cracked skin knuckles in her hand. Yeah, he's been hitting things again. Nevertheless, his fingers curl around her hand and he pulls her close, his arm going around her shoulders as he holds her close against him. It's the first truly gentle thing he's done all day... or even since Reid blew his mind the other day.

He dips his head, burying his face in her hair and inhaling a deep breath of her. He stays quiet for the moment, just because if he says anything it's going to be that he doesn't deserve her. And a part of him worries that she'll agree with him if he says those words out loud.

[Embracing her Derek is the easiest thing in the world to Garcia. No matter what else is happening in the universe, this is something she can do, something they can have, that no one can ever take away -- not even his sour mood or potentially snappish comments. She'd never let something like that rip them apart.]

[Something about this, maybe his beaten-up hand or the way he just can't seem to talk, something has her crying enough for both of them.]
Whatever it is, I promise we'll be okay.

[Her reassurances go a long way with him. Anything having to do with Penelope Garcia has a lot of pull with him just because of who she is to him. But he soaks that reassurance up like a dry sponge plunged into a vat of water. She feels good. She always feels good to him.

Somewhere in the back of his mind it dawns on him that she's crying. He hates having anything to do with that. But he also knows that she wouldn't be his baby girl if she didn't feel everything at a hundred and ten percent. His grip on her hand tightens and he kisses the top of her head, down at her brow. He dips his head and brushes his lips, feather-light over one damp eyelid and then lower over her tear soaked cheek, metaphorically taking back the emotions he just gave to her to keep the weight of them on his own shoulders. Then his lips find hers for a soft, salt-laced kiss.
]

You can't break that promise, Penelope. I need us to be okay. [His own words mock him in his own mind: everyone lies.]
