243 // audio + action
[ It's been a long day. An eternity or perhaps just a few minutes, seconds, heartbeats since he woke up to an empty bed and an even emptier apartment. It wasn't too hard to swallow back the panic at first, keep it at bay with positive thinking and the stubborn task of looking in every nook and cranny, of testing the line over and over and over again because sooner or later he would turn up. He'd pick up the call. He was probably just busy, or out in Sector 6 or taking a bath.

He'd show up, sooner or later.

Morning turns to day turns to evening and he's still alone. By now the panic is all-consuming, squeezing at his heart until he can't even breathe. Fingers shaking, Aidan flicks on the audio feed. One last ditch effort. ]

Has anyone- [ But he stops himself there. Sometimes you know the answer all too well. So well that you don't want it confirmed more than you've already done yourself. He draws a deep breath, steadies himself for another short minute. ]

If anyone wants t' know... I know he had a few friends here. Probably more than he knew. Helix is...

Helix is gone.

[ With that he cuts the feed, abruptly, tugs the headpiece off just as frantically before heading down to the beach. He can't think of any other place to go. ]

((ooc: Anyone is welcome to find him down at the beach! Audio responses will be icly delayed seeing as he's pretty damn heartbroken, but they will be responded to eventually. ))

Throw your punch. [Because it might not show, but Tyki's tensed and ready to fluidly evade it in what might be considered super-powered grace but he's a fast one.

Who won't yet strike back, of course, because the teasing fun in this is how to drive Aidan up the wall; let him throw a few hits and swipes 'til it really angers him.

And in the meanwhile, he'll just let the black feathers of dark matter slowly coat his skin beneath his clothes for if and when the redhead gets lucky.

The only thing his punch will connect with will be a rough and hardened shell.]

[ Aidan is a brawler through and through. He's never been one for finesse or technique and most of the fighting he's done has been outside of the local pub after one too many beers. Festival — his first employer in the city — showed him a few tricks and he picked up a few more in the military but it hasn't changed much of anything about the way he fights.

When the punch comes it comes like a freight train, hard and obvious and aimed to hit squarely with Tyki's jaw. He's not interested in actually succeeding, he just wants to punch and punch and punch until he can't feel anything no more. ]

[Tyki's a man of two worlds; pub time brawls were always a favorite but with the awakening of his Noah came a refined fighting stance that tends to dominate most situations. Combined together it's a little sloppier, refined moments like the way he ducks from that punch before it connects followed through with a rising urge to bring up a punch into the redhead's gut. The way he evades turns him to put his side to Aidan, leisurely grinning down at him to tempt him to keep throwing those punches. Keep boiling that anger and let Tyki soak it up because temptation will eventually allow you to land a few, only so he has reason to leave you gasping and bloody in the sand.]

	[ He doesn't really need the prompting, but it sure helps to pour some more gasoline on that fire of desperation he's been nurturing. He turns as quickly as he can in the loose sand, following up with a feinted left jab aimed to conceal the actual right punch that follows. Some technique did rub off. Just a little. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Cute, Tyki can see it coming but he lets it play out-- reaching forth to grab the his right fist and stop it in the air. Alright, so maybe he's cheating a little still, black strands of dark matter already slipping over his knuckles to coat his fingertips in sharp black claws. The feathery strands don't go high up his neck however, he has to keep this in reserve.]

At least you know how to fight a little. [He clenches his hand down around Aidan's curled fingers.]

	[ He grits his teeth in response to the firm grip, muscles trembling and mind reeling with possible countermoves. Strangely enough this might be the best thing for him. Use up some energy, get his blood pumping, give him a task to complete. Good going Tyki, you may be the one to push him out of apathy. ] Yeah? How 'bout you quit cheatin' and fight like a man?

[Tyki's grin splits on the edge of maniacal at that, doing two things in quick succession.

One, he holds onto that hand of Aidan's by the first, jerking it down and towards him to reel the redhead in.

Two, he's already drawn back his other hand now also in a fist, bringing it in swiftly for a collision course with Aidan's jaw.

But en route, the slick black shell peels back from his knuckles and slithers back up Tyki's forearm so that when this punch connects it's purely human like Aidan insists. By that point his other hand will be uncoated as well, releasing him entirely to start the next round of their brawl.]

[ The resistance in the movement isn't as alert as it should be and maybe on some subconscious level he wants to be hit. It's something other than the suffocating ache in his heart. It's something real and warm, like the trickle of blood that runs down his chin from a split lip, haphazardly wiped away as he clumsily finds his footing in the soft sand.

He wobbles but steadies himself, ready for the next round — initiating it with a low bullrush in an attempt to knock Tyki over. ]

[Tyki'll meet that with a forward hunch, not going down but taken a few steps backwards by it.

There's nothing like the adrenaline of a brawl, refined as it is as a Noah, there's a certain sloppy edge that's always sorely missed.

So grappling with the redhead is more fun than it ought to be, and he laughs outright, grinning wickedly.] C'mon boy, show me what you've got!

	[ And a brawl is exactly what this'll be — he responds with a frustrated grunt before he begins to punch whatever part of Tyki he can reach with clear desperation. There's no form, no care, just muscles tensing and pounding and moving, fueled entirely by hopelessness and emotion. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[They land, but Tyki doesn't so much as grunt. He steers a few away, deflects, but they land and they'll bruise but it's hardly painful. He'll return the favor in kind, slipping from graceful to more bar-counter brawl throws of his fist. He favors the left more than the right, and its with the latter he goes for a grip of the throat.]

Tsk, tsk. You fight with no finesse.

	[ His body goes rigid when that hand clenches down on his throat, fighting back without actually fighting back. There is some squirming, voice choked off. ] Gets th' job done, doesn't it? [ And no, he's not talking about beating the crap out of you. He knows he isn't doing too well on that front. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All rough around the edges, spitting and rowdy. You're a real sight to see. [Tyki grins, maintaining an even pressure against Aidan's throat. Nothing that would choke off his entire air supply, but simply something undeniably uncomfortable.] I don't see any job getting done here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He squirms in the grip like a dog caught by the scruff of its neck, swallowing hard against the unrelenting pressure. Familiar. Helix had him in a choke grip much like this not too long ago... of course, that time he really could've broken his neck and killed him. He doesn't feel that kind of threat from Tyki right now and even if he would... well.

It wouldn't be so bad. ]

That's cause you ain't seein' shit. [ Spittin' indeed. ]
