[Here's a familiar face, to those who have been Numbered for awhile and perhaps even those who haven't.]
Why hello. I've missed your lovely faces.
A lot of you know me already, but I'm Lazarus Lawliet. The real one. That's me.
I'm looking to compile a useful database of relevant information on all of us, something that we can share freely and without outmoded hangups or hesitation. Let's be progressive about it.
If you send me your name, a photograph or other still image from the front and the side, your age, your profession, and your credit card information, I'll repay you by writing you a personalized piece of short fiction, starring you, in the wildly popular theme of dinosaur erotica. You pick the dinosaur, and I'll make the magic happen without shame or fear.
Your dark desires are very interesting to me. Especially yours, C.S. You know who you are.

[Action]
He's not afraid, even though lately, it probably wouldn't hurt him to be a little more cautious.
He sets the pail aside when he sees a foot dangling over the edge of an eave, and he sighs, stacking a cinderblock on a trashcan to help boost him to the same level. It'll take him a little more than a second, but he does manage to pull himself up to the roof alongside Tony, panting shallowly.]
What's this about? Is that... fetch really getting to you so much?
[Action]
Especially after Lazarus hid something as important as altering rations from him.
Tony just watches him out of the corner of one eye, not moving to help. Not moving to leave just yet either, but that could change at the drop of a hat.]
It's got nothin' to do with that.
[He spits with more vitriol than is entirely necessary for this conversation. It might be part of it, actually.]
[Action]
He moves across the roof, his thin silhouette birdlike as he approaches Tony without the other young man's developing, feline strength and grace.]
What are you talking about? What's it to do with, then?
[He's wide-eyed as he sits close by Tony, questioning and confused.]
[Action]
This isn't the place for me, I'm leaving.
[Tony won't quite look at him directly, instead just watching him out of the corner of one eye. Fake L really hit a nerve, he's tired of being treated like a neutered pet.]
[Action]
[He rests a hand on Tony's shoulder, crouching next to him.]
What can I do, Tony? Please talk to me.
[Action]
[He snaps, wrenching away from the comforting hand and snarling in L's direction. He's just lashing out at everyone tonight. Seems like something's finally made the pot boil over, and there doesn't seem to be any getting a lid back on it at this rate.]
Forget it. There's nothing you can do so don't even bother.
[He moves to stand, aiming to make a quick escape and probably at least attempt to make good on his threats against the doppelganger.]
[Action]
Luckily, the place was a common haunt. It didn't take long to track him down, the two familiar voices leading him to the roof. Pulling himself up was easy.]
Tony.
[How to begin? How to pull him back from this? He gave Lazarus a small nod of acknowledgement.] C'mon, kiddo. You really wanna leave it like that?
[Action]
Lazarus is in motion before he's actually processed the words. He's rising to his feet, ready to argue that he can do something and he isn't as powerless to help as Tony's making him out to be. He's fought so hard to be effective, especially after all the trouble following his own psychotic break after the invasion. He can't just take no for an answer after everything they've been through, he has promised that he wouldn't give up on this kid.
An errant shove and he would fall and probably break something. Tony's more outright pissed than Lazarus thinks he's ever seen him, and he doesn't know how many of these gambles he realistically has left in him. They are reliant on Tony loving him enough not to snap him in half, but what if Tony snaps? Lazarus hates to admit that he's actually considering the possibility these days.
Miraculously, Richard makes an appearance in what might be the nick of time. Lazarus stands aside, ashamed of how adrenaline and relief are making his hands shake.]
[Action]
Ignoring L he continued to move, but did jerk back to shoot a scathing look and bare his teeth at him. No, he wasn't just going to calm down and be a good puppy this time. He was sick and done and tired of playing nice, of doing what he's told and acting how he's expected when his mind howls and thrashes for something else. It's exhausting, and he just can't keep it up anymore.
There's a twitch, like he very much considered lashing out at Lazarus and in that moment even Tony wasn't certain if it was a feign or not. But Richard's voice caught him and he paused, eyes flicking over to him.]
What's the point? Can't stay anymore even if I wanted to. Gonna be a mess either way.
[Action]
[Of all the people in Shepherd's Haven, perhaps the only one to never show any fear of Tony is the man who little over a year ago adopted the wayward teenager as his own son.
He moved over, lifting a hand to clasp Tony's upper arm but letting it hover there for him to move into if he wanted to, or not.]
But listen, let's siddown here and talk it through. You know I'm not gonna ask you t' do anything you don't wanna. Neither is L.
[L gets a quick glance. Right?]
[Action]
He flinches involuntarily at the way Tony twitches, nearly losing his footing as he takes a hurried step back toward the edge of the roof. Pale, heart pounding in his chest, he moves behind Richard when the other man steps forward, effectively putting him between himself and Tony.
He sinks to a crouching position, no longer trusting his shaking legs to support him. He nods hurriedly to confirm that he's not going to do anything to upset or challenge Tony, much the same way a teller at a bank would nod at a gun in his face during a robbery.]
[Action]
He shifts away, not as sharply as he had from L but enough to indicate he's really not in the mood for comforting right now. One wary eye trained on Lazarus and the way he moves to cower behind Richard. He's silent for a time, regarding that movement before he lifts his chin and lets out a defiant huff.]
You know, the more you flinch from a dog the more likely it is to bite you.
[He moves further away from the both of them, to perch precariously on the edge of the roof, ready to hop away at a moment's notice. The fall won't hurt him, Richard could keep up as well, but L would have to climb back down like a normal person.]
I think we're done talking, I know where I stand.
[A burden, something feared, something pitied. That's not the place he's willing to be, and if that's what it's boiled down to well then... It's obvious he's overstayed his welcome.]

But don't worry, I don't plan on sticking around for long.

... You have no idea what you're talking about, so shut the hell up. You think being a monster is something to be proud of? It just proves you're weak.
private video;
Yeah, because you're the one getting your hands dirty. It's all well and good to point fingers when you're too damn afraid to do it yourself.
You think I asked for this shit? You think I like this? Can it, you're the one who has no idea what you're talking about. Must be real fuckin' nice being able to sit back and play 'normal'.

[She rolls her eyes to the sun and back.]
We're all turning into monsters, idiot. The difference is we don't stand around crying about it, and we aren't proud of it. If you don't like it then do something about it!

Or should I just shut up and go back to being your nice little docile pack animal like you like, huh? Lift the heavy things, that's all I'm fucking good for.
You know what? I'm done. I'm out. Screw this place I never should have come here.
