alright fine jeez he's alive again

[A while ago, Boone was shot. Not long after that, he died. End of story, right?]

[Yeah, no. After waking up in a bed in the infirmary, missing his weapons and feeling slow and sluggish, Boone has made it back into the hallway and is looking... lost. He's not supposed to be here. It was over for him- he felt himself slip away, and yet here he is... standing here as if nothing happened, vaguely aware that he's missing a huge chunk of time. He'd doubt that any of it ever happened in the first place, but he's seen the scar on his stomach.

He thinks back to the last thing he remembers- Elle by his side, trying desperately to save him. She'd been hysterical. All for him. Huh... it's a strange feeling. Someone giving a damn. He almost wishes she hadn't. She'd saved him a lot of pain with all the Stimpaks and Med-X she'd stuck him with, but in the end she'd had to watch him die. Just someone else who had to suffer because of him.]

[Walking feels odd after so long. He's acutely aware of the fact that he's unarmed, but he doesn't know if he can make himself care. What's the worst that can happen when you've already died? Goddamnit... he thought it was over. It was supposed to be his time. It hadn't been quick, and it had been at the hands of the Legion, but it was over. Now, he doesn't know what to do with himself. He could say he's pissed off but that wouldn't come close to how angry he is that he's walking around again. The only thing he feels he can do is make life hell for the people who killed him in the first place. Yeah... they weren't expecting him to come back from this, either. Sibyll showed him her true face because she thought he was a dead man, and Vulpes... that son of a bitch must have ordered her to follow him in the first place. If he didn't have a reason to hate the Legion before, he sure does now- and Vulpes just put himself at the top of Boone's shit list. First, though... he needs to get his weapons back, which means finding Elle. Christ, he hopes they haven't gotten to her, too.]


((haha... he was supposed to be dead for three days but it kind of didn't work out like that :| so uh, yeah. pissed off boone walking the hallways.))

[Vulpes is blissfully unconscious as he's dragged carelessly across the concrete and through the street. Unfortunately, this can't last for long and he eventually comes to, groaning at the splitting pain in his head. He squints up at the lights, blinking against their brightness. It takes him a few more moments before he remembers where he is, and finally notices Boone standing there. He reaches clumsily for his ripper, only to notice it missing.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-07 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[His eyes move toward the sound, and he watches Boone tap his ripper against the wall. Well, damn.]

...Hm.

[He isn't entirely sure what to do here. Perhaps he'll just wait for Boone to make a move.]

[Despite the pain in his head, Vulpes pushes himself to his feet when Boone starts smashing his ripper against the wall. Even as he realizes it's probably too late to save the weapon, he tries to tackle Boone to stop him. He won't just watch something so humiliating without doing something about it.]

[His head wound is making him unsteady, but not enough to stop him from taking a fist to Boone's face. The desire to beat him bloody is especially strong right now, and he isn't going to hold anything back if he has the chance. Even if he can't kill the profligate, he can make him hurt.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-07 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He has enough wits about him to avoid the counterattack, then grabs at Boone's wrist with his other hand to try and keep him at bay. His free hand takes another swing at the man's face, wanting to do as much visible damage to him as possible. Breaking his nose would be ideal.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-07 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[His grip on Boone's wrist helps keep the ripper at bay, and he barely feels Boone's knee with his armor in place.]

You shouldn't have done that.

[He shoves Boone harder up against the wall, slamming his wrist back against it in an attempt to make him drop the broken ripper.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-07 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[His frown deepens, and he tries slamming Boone's wrist against the wall once more.]

I will have you bleeding at my feet, dog.

[The chuckle does rile him up further, and he decides to use Boone's tactic against him, slamming a knee into his midsection.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-07 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[He feels a moment of triumph when the ripper falls out of Boone's hand. His eyes follow the weapon as it clatters to the ground, which distracts him just enough for Boone's punch to hit its mark. He lets out a hiss of pain, releasing Boone's wrist and grabbing at the collar of shirt instead. Vulpes' hands dig in tightly to the fabric as he throws Boone aside, wanting to get him on the floor.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-07 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Vulpes sidesteps the kick, moving so that he isn't standing right where Boone can kick him easily. He attempts to instead stomp on the sniper's wrist while he's still down, wanting to make him drop the broken ripper again. He'd rather keep things hand to hand, in this case.]

[Having to suddenly dodge the hunk of metal thrown his way distracts Vulpes quite a bit, and forces his attention of of Boone for a short while. He hadn't expected him to throw the damn thing, and it had come very close to doing some serious damage to his face.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-08 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Avoiding the ripper is one thing. Avoiding a charging man on short notice is another. He hits the floor hard, gasping when his already bruised head impacts with the floor again as Boone's weight lands full on top of him. Not only is he winded, but he's dazed again too and doesn't do anything immediately to retaliate.]

[personal profile] truetocaesar 2013-10-08 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no he doesn't- Vulpes isn't about to let Boone get off that easily. He may never have had such a bad headache as he does now, but Vulpes still manages to have enough wits about him to hook one of his feet around Boone's ankle as he walks away, tugging back in order to trip him up.]
