⚂ [ p o l y c h r o m a t i c ][ accidental AUDIO || backdated to late afternoon.

[specifics]

[ This is the sound of a group of people trekking up a mountain. There's the occasional burst of bickering about how people who were just sick as all hell should not be climbing mountains, or a person whose leg was just shot up, etc, etc, etc. More trekking. More bickering

Which way are we not looking, exactly?

threadjack, no cares, etc etc

[diastereomer]

Not you; him. [ There is an accusing look aimed at Freddy, Yusuf stepping between the two of them. Not that Eames would ever have a problem holding his own against Freddy, but, there is the whole leg wound thing to be taken into account. ] Open wounds do not go in the germ infested water, and that is final.

hahahah idek tags everywhere

[orangetoughguy]

[He sees that accusing look and gives Yusuf a casual shrug in the fashion of one K. West.]

Only if he asks nicely.

[That said to Yusuf though he's talking about the Englishman. He is kind of flattered anyone would think he could possibly pick Eames up.]

what is method to this madness

[shifts]

[ Eames only scoffs, shaking his head. ] I'll pass, no matter how refreshing it might look.

[ No matter how much he may miss the change of his own skin, anyhow. ]

[orangetoughguy]

[Dusting his hands off like job well done.]

[specifics]

[On the one hand, he's pretty sure that put his dignity into the negatives, but on the other hand, he's a he again. He'll take what he can get.

Eying Orange from the spring, he then rolls those eyes but not without saying,] Thanks.

[He means it too, blinking some water out of his eyes and running his fingers back to push his hair out of the way - always longer than it seems though thankfully not so long as it was.]

Next time just let me get close enough to push me in.

[Beggars can be choosers? Or something.]

[diastereomer]

[ Even though he is interested in the properties of the water that has suddenly changed Arthur (interesting, annoyed, very obviously female Arthur) back to himself, Yusuf has other worries taking first priority. Namely, Eames' leg wound not getting infected because this trip up a mountain-- a mountain-- turned into a bout of boyish roughhousing. ]

I am not certain, but I am reasonably sure staying in the water will not make you more of a man.

[specifics]

[ From his designated spring, Arthur feels more himself than he has all day so he's also feeling well enough to be decently humored (suddenly), at least by comparison to the mildly horrific killjoy he's been en route.]

You never know.

[Honestly though, he glances down, lifting his hands out of the water, scrutinizing them with a touch of suspicion as if he's not sure he'll suddenly shift back without notice.]

[diastereomer]

In this place? [ Yusuf makes a gesture that essentially only includes a palm that happens to me near them, but is supposed to indicate The City at large. ] Quite right.

Though I hardly think you need to flounder around in testosterone- or whatever that may be. [ This calls for a sample... or three. Yusuf pulls out the thermos he'd brought along and, taking care not to get too close to the water's edge, holds it out to Arthur. ] Get me a sample, will you?

[punchedhitler]

You found it?

[specifics]

Technically, they found it. We followed.

Why? You need some?

[ Unsure... ]

[punchedhitler]

No, I went up yesterday, to get some.

[specifics]

[Still doesn't realize who he's talking to weep....]

Guess a few people did.

[VERY NEARLY he asks if the stranger turned into a girl also but then decides 1. it's none of his business and 2. he doesn't NEED to know...so to speak...

...oh but by the guy's question Arthur isn't sure he found it, so...]

Wait, you just went looking or you actually found it too?
