They Don't Get It

Summary:

Party Poison and Kobra Kid have a talk but things don't go as planned

Party Poison had been laying on their bed since the argument with Fun Ghoul. They weren't sure how long it had been but they eventually heard Fun Ghoul telling Kobra and Jet what had happened.

 

Before they could make it to lock their door it swung open and Kobra walked in.

 

“Rooftop now.” Kobra said firmly.

 

“First off you don't tell me what to do Kobra. I'm the older brother here.” Party huffed 

 

“And you are crashing. Rooftop right now Party.”

 

Party Poison grabbed their thin blanket and wrapped it around themselves as they followed Kobra up to the rooftop of the diner.

 

Kobra and Party sat with their legs dangling off the edge. Party didn’t want to speak first. They were starting to hate the sound of their own voice.

 

“Look I know out of all of us only Ghoul can truly understand what you are feeling right now but damnit Party Poison wanting to get yourself ghosted? Are you gonna fade into the static? Are you gonna become A Nobody? Do you really want to abandon everything you worked so hard to build?” Kobra rambled.

 

“I think I've been A Nobody for a while now.” Party admitted as they gazed out at the expanse of the zones.

 

Party sighed heavily as they laid out on the rooftop and stared at the stars.

 

“You are lucky Kobra. You were born right.”

 

Kobra turned to look at Party with annoyance.” Cut that shit out Party. I swear if we have to Jet and I will get rid of everything that you could use to ghost yourself and we will lock you in your room.”

 

“Just because I want to be ghosted doesn't mean I'm going to ghost myself.” Party snapped.

 

They sat up quickly and glared at their lap.

 

“It's all wrong Kobra! Everything about me is wrong!” Party cried as the tears they'd been suppressing for years finally began to fall.

 

Its not high enough to ghost me but since I cant get a hold of Batt Acid with everyone watching me so closely…

 

In a flash Party shoved themselves off the edge of the diner rooftop and fell to the hard pavement.

 

The pain was immediate and intense. They could hear Kobra, Ghoul, and Jet all screaming but the pain muddled their words.

 

Most of the pain was in their knees, ankles, and hips but it radiated through their whole body.

 

Ghoul was quick to stabilize Party's neck as the three brought Party inside and laid them out on the diner counter top.

 

As Jet Star looked over their injuries and did the best they could to treat them, Party could already imagine the lecture they'd get.

 

They felt a needle jab into their arm as Ghoul injected them with a small dosage of some kind of drug from the city.

 

As they high began to mostly distract them from the pain Jet Star muttered an apology before he popped Party's knee back in place.

 

Party screamed at the sudden forceful action.” You fucker!!”

 

“Shouldn't have jumped off the roof.” Jet Star chastised.

 

Party slumped back on the countertop and shut his eyes.

 

Next time I'll just go find a drac while alone.
