A Shadow, A Soldier, and A Child Walk Into A Warehouse (TAG)

[Nihilo]

"Wait. What do you mean we can leave whenever? I thought I was confined to here! Fuck, we're getting out of here as soon as possible."

Those were the words that sparked Nihilo's first outing outside of the Cabal headquarters hidden in the Astaria Institute for Health and Technology. He'd insisted on going to the Abandoned Warehouse District, an area that he'd pretty much lived in for several years before Ryan and Astraica had found him. He refused to say why until they got there.

"What do you mean I need to be nulled the entire time we're out!?!? That's BULLSHIT!"

Nihilo picked up a decrepit chair and threw it, shattering it against the wall of the abandoned warehouse they were in.

"I finally get out of my cage, come to blow off some steam, hell, I came someplace that nobody would even be, and now I find out I gotta keep a muzzle on the entire time???"

He kicked some loose boards. He stayed close to Ryan the entire time, he knew that the further away he went the harder it was for Ryan to keep the field up, and he still appreciated it. He appreciated Ryan, just in general. Sure, he acted pissy, but in reality the only reason he was staying with the Cabal was for Ryan and the physical relief having his powers nullified presented. Still, that didn't mean he didn't want to just let loose and cause some rampant destruction.

"So what you're telling me, is if I want to go outside, I have to stay nullified. Fuck, man. Do you realize how ravenous I am when I'm like this? Fucking nothing in my stomach. I could eat a damn elephant, and now we're too far from any food. Fuck, I didn't realize I'd be nulled the entire time!"

He sighed, then sat on the floor in resignation. "Well that fucks this whole trip over."

Ryan Amador, Honos Black

[Honos Black]

Honos jerked at the sudden noise and cursed quietly as he tried to correct the wire sequence before the firework rocket blew up in his face. While he heard the men in the building, he thought it was background noise from some movie he forgot playing in his head and that the loud shattering was someone in another building. It usually happened with him when he didn't drink any of the energy drinks he packed and the loud noises were common enough that he didn't put much thought into it.

He frowned when he heard the 'I'm hungry' comment and spoke like he usually did when he's alone, even if it was louder than normal in his frustration. "There's food in the bag. Grab some taquitos and shut up, brain. I need to fix this sequence or you won't have a body, so shut the fuck up, you crazy insomniac motherfucking piece of-" He cut himself when he heard a click and a chirp from the firework rocket under his hands. He took a step back and yelled in glee, jumping and hopping around in a circle from his success.

He reached for his bag and grabbed one of the energy drinks, babbling to himself on what he needed to do next, only to catch sight of the men. "Oh fuck me seven ways ta Sunday and take it back now y'all." He blurted out, eyes never leaving either man, even if he was mildly confused on why they both look a bit familiar.

"Don't tell Atlas."
