[ On the one hand, Bellamy cares. On the other hand, this isn't the best time for it. ]

i'm the second person running it
so i'm just confirming the first set of results

it's testing the effects of a drug
but they're supposed to wear off within an hour

[jettisons]

Cut the crap, Eggsy. You wouldn't be this cagey if you thought I'd be fine with it. What drug and what effects?

[tailorable]

jesus bellamy
it's an edible with hallucinogenic effects alright
apparently, the first bloke saw something specific
i don't know what he saw bc it would taint the experiment if i knew what to expect

[jettisons]

[Wait.]

You're doing this for fun?

[Let him rest, Eggsy!]

[tailorable]

[ to lie or not to lie... ]

why does everyone think i do drugs for fun??

[ He does sometimes BUT NOT AS MUCH AS PEOPLE THINK. ]

no it's for science or something
madam lutece asked me to test it for her

[jettisons]

And she wants you to do it with no one else there?
Trust me, you don't want to be hallucinating in an empty room by yourself.

[Apparently he's speaking from experience here.]

[tailorable]

[ well that's something to Discuss later. ]

no the madam will be there
"observing"

[jettisons]

You sure you feel safe doing this?

[tailorable]

safe enough

[ enough to do it, as long as someone else knows his whereabouts. ]

[jettisons]

Whatever you say. Where are you doing it?

[tailorable]

house 66

[jettisons]

Alright, I'll be here.

[tailorable]

👌

[ AND ONE HOUR LATER: ]

all good bruv

[jettisons]

Congratulations.

[Don't be judge-y, Bellamy.]

[tailorable]

[ ROLLING HIS EYES VERY HARD!!! ]

can i come by??

[jettisons]

Yeah. I'm at my place.

[For once not at the Sanctuary. A miracle.]

[tailorable]

be there in ten

[ and he is, back in his trackies and snapback, too, when he knocks on Bellamy's door. ]

[jettisons]

[Don't accost Bellamy with this Look, Eggsy.]

Hey. Everything okay?

[tailorable]

[ :( :( :( he'll wander in, if Bellamy doesn't stop him xoxo ]

Yeah, yeah, just a bit — rattled, I guess. Don't normally do drugs recreationally or, uh, experimentally.

[ can't afford to be off his game when he's on duty. or even with his old living situation. ]

[jettisons]

[Ah, well, Bellamy knows how that goes. He closes the door behind Eggsy.]

Hallucinations aren't fun.

[Unless you're Jasper or Monty, maybe, but Eggsy doesn't strike him as the type.]

[tailorable]

[ He shoves his hands into his pockets, lingering in the hall while he waits for Bellamy to lead them wherever is best. ]

You know the feeling, huh?

[jettisons]

[They're heading to the living room, where Bellamy moves Clarke's sketchbook off of the couch to sit down, and waits for Eggsy to join him.]

Not intentionally. When we first got to the ground, we ran into these nuts that made the whole camp hallucinate.

[tailorable]

[ Eggsy settles beside Bellamy without hesitation, making himself comfortable. The revelation regarding the camp hallucinating makes him blink in surprise. And it contextualises Bellamy's initial response to his messages, too. Fucking hell. Hallucinating in an enclosed space under watchful eyes is one thing — mass confusion in unknown terrain sounds disastrous. ]

Jesus. That must have been horrible. [ A crease forms between his brows, as it always does when he's concerned. ] Did it affect you, too?
