| ⚠ | Brother. Morgen held in his sigh and frowned a little deeper. The sounds of feet and guns had him turning his light on the line military personnel. Their weapons were pointed at the blond--which at least it wasn't him they were looking for, but with all that happened, why would they...
Civilian. Morgen would have snorted in derision, except their accusation that this injured mess of a man was the one that destroyed the city.
"You can't be serious!" Morgen barked, annoyed. "How could one guy be responsible for this level of destruction? Look at him, he's barely standing!"
Morgen didn't hesitate to put himself between them and the taller blond. If they thought he was a civilian, they'd be idiots to shoot him without cause. Granted, a cynical half formed comment flitted through his head, with what happened, I shouldn't be surprised if they did try to shoot first and ask questions later.
"Step aside!" he one with the flashlight snapped, with Morgen's light on his face, he could tell fear was warring with anger from the man's expression. Maybe they really did think this guy did all this. Morgen was a skeptic through and through.
"Shouldn't you be rounding up more people and looking for the injured and treated the wounded? Isn't that a more fitting task than running around accusing half-dead people of destroying an entire city?" Morgen was stepping closer to them by half steps. He hadn't drawn his gun, but his empty hand was fisted. Some of the men flinched, two of them pushed forward, saying something about witnessing something happening before the city exploded. Morgen wasn't listening anymore.
Once they advanced on him, he lunged at them at the same time. His gloved fist knocked one of their guns aside and he side stepped to shove his elbow into the other's chest. It was a messy scuffle, some of the men backed up, clearly too spooked by everything else to put themselves in the fight. Morgen disarmed one of the men and turned to use the rifle as a club on the other.
While he was occupied with them, the one holding the main flashlight barked at another to apprehend the blond. Out of breath, and just having knocked one man to the ground, Morgen shouted, "I'm not gonna let you do that!"
Before he could advance on the two headed for the blond, Morgen took a solid blow to the back, stumbling a bit and cursing foully.
"You bastards could be helping people," Morgen growled angrily, get into another struggle as he avoided another blow, this time to the head. Lucky for him, fighting in this kind of darkness was just as hard for them as it was for him. He wasn't one for killing military if he didn't have to--but dammit, they're pushing this to that possible conclusion--
"Hey--idiot--run or something--" he yelled in the blond's direction. If he wasn't so preoccupied, he'd realize the condition the guy was in, he really wasn't going to be running, let alone a decent paced walk.
Go... with him? The request took a moment or two to process, but eventually Vash did understand what was being asked of him, his steps shuffling at best.
"My... brother." he said quietly. "I'm... I'm looking.. for my br--"
Freeze...!
A new circle of light hit the body of the blond from the other side of them, the voice and clicking of guns being aimed in their direction making the Stampede turn slightly, narrowing his eyes as the light hit him directly in the face. While Vash couldn't see much past it, Morgen would be able to see the line of similarly-dressed soldiers, all sporting the crest of the fallen city on their uniforms.
Clearly, it was what was left of JuLai's military police, with their weapons all trained on the injured blond.
"Back away from him, civilian!" the man with the flashlight barked at Morgen. "We have reason to believe that this man is the monster who destroyed the city!"

That copper taste, that deepening ache…
I never wanted them.
The pain of loss, the terror, the maddening solitude…
I never asked for any of it.

PROMPTS FOR PEOPLE WHO AREN'T USED TO KINDNESS * assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary
what are you doing?
i can handle that myself, you know.
you didn't have to go out of your way to take care of me.
i'm not used to this. this caring thing.
thank you. don't ever do that again.
i thought you hated me, to be honest.
i didn't ask you to love me!
no one's ever actually just... sat down and listened to me.
i didn't think people like you existed.
is this normal for you? going out of your way like this?
i told you i had it handled. you didn't have to bother.
i... should probably thank you for that.
i don't know what to say. this has never happened before.
wait, that's mine. you fixed it?
you did all of this... for me?
that was the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.
i'm kinda at a loss for words.
i wasn't expecting this from you.
you did all this for me?
i had it under control.
when did this happen?
how long were you planning this?
i'm not sure what to say. i'm not used to this.
i owe you one.
that was... very kind of you. thank you.
i'm just not used to people going out of their way to help me.
usually people just look the other way, but you actually care.
this is weird. is this what caring about someone feels like?
i could have handled it.
this must have taken you forever to arrange. and you did it all for me?
it would be easier in the long run if we went our separate ways.
i hate being in other peoples' debts.
i didn't want this to happen.
people around me don't last very long.
i feel like i'm screaming and screaming and no one hears me.
i'm in your debt.
how did you find that? i lost that ages ago.
you actually... listened to me?
no one's ever paid attention.
no one's ever put that much time in effort into something for me.
when did i say that?
i didn't ask you to care about me!
i'm easily missed. people don't pay attention to me.
i'm invisible most of the time.
it's easier for people to look the other way.
do you do this often? help people?
i'm surprised you're still here.
if you're expecting something in return, forget about it.
you came back?
why do you care about me so much?
i'm a lost cause. you should just forget about me.
what's the use? there's no point.
i don't even celebrate my birthday. no one cares.
you can't just make someone care about you.
i thought you left.

stop smiling at me like that.

A bit of rambling for Morgen, I suppose. since the inboxes are acting up
Morgen is an unapologetic killer. He IS careful, but honestly, if the situation would be simplified by killing someone rather than risking that person killing or harming innocents? He's on it.
I already know he won't get along with Vash(es) in general, because unlike Wolfwood, he won't be persuaded so easily away from it.
But, any Vash is welcome to *try*, because if you manage to get through that thick ass skull of his, I'll be impressed.
That said, he doesn't go around blindly killing people? Even if others do not agree, he does have his own sense for moral code he upholds on it. When survival hinges on acting for yourself, the only morality you can rely on is what gets you and those you protect through to see tomorrow.
#i was built this way;;headcanons#also since my discovery and deep dive into Marvel's Punisher#he really is very much an anti-hero type like Punisher#i was shocked to discover how much of Punisher i had built into my character before I ever got into Marvel things in my youth#Marvel's Punisher has since lent inspiration to my boy of course cause it good shit LOL

🌟: Do they consider themselves a good person?
Absolutely not. But he does consider himself a necessary evil to keep good people safe.
☯: What do they think of ‘good’ and 'evil’?
"Good and evil are the same thing, just told from different sides of the line. I'll always be the good guy to the slaves I saved, and the evil monster that killed a child's murderous, kidnapping father. Just depends on who's telling the story. No one is all "good" and no one is all "evil", yeah?"
⛨: What would they sacrifice their life for?
His people, the town he helped to create, where he can take the people he's freed and given them the start of a new life. That would be a thing worth sacrificing himself for. But better than he stay alive and protect it himself, ya know?
In his more idealistic moments, he would willingly sacrifice his life to end the kind of shit that tore him and many other children away from their parents when they were small, if it meant it would end, permanently.

@sullenphoenix knifed the guy he needed to question!
| ⚠ | Morgen moved cautiously into the room to take in the scene before him. There was the guy he needed to question, with several fatal wounds in his chest. And over him, his killer. Had he seen him somewhere before, recently?
"I needed that shitbag alive," he growled, fingers curling tighter around the the knife he held. "I guess I'll have to question you before I give you what he got! Do you know who he worked for?"

“Get behind me.” (Vash)
Protector/Protected Starters || Accepting
@adventures-written : Vash
| ⚠ | Something about this guy annoyed him. Why was he stepping into his fight anyway? Didn't matter that Morgen was bleeding from his mouth and nose from the rapid sucker punches the other guy had given him, he didn't even feel it. Morgen had been about to show the guy his mistake, but then this blond guy stepped in.
"I don't need your help," Morgen growled, standing up and catching his balance as the room spun a bit. Pain he may not feel, the other effects of the damage done, though, still effected him. It'll be a sad day in hell when Morgen can't take a few punches and come back swinging. "Stay out of this, idiot, if this guy wants to fight, he learn his mistake."

As with most accidents, it happened fast enough he hadn't been able to catch himself before other had run into him and the tin cup clattered from his hand. The coffee itself had not spilled on anything or anyone, and only a bit of splash was on Morgen's boots.
"The coffee was burnt and tasted like shit anyway."

| ⚠ | Morgen did not like the way the other's words set goosebumps on his skin, and frowned a little deeper at him.
He looked about them, looking for anyone who may be paying them more attention than just moving about on their own ways. He didn't catch anyone's eye... but that didn't mean he wasn't being watched all the same. Lucky for him, he didn't have anyone else with him to worry about at the moment--but that didn't stop him from wondering how the hell...
"Dunno about a funny hat, but you have an odd way of speaking, yourself," he replied, guarded. "What gives you the impression anyone relies on a drifter like me?"
;; @kamikazemorgen || Continued from here.
It was no surprise that the man had the reaction he did. Most folks seemed to wave off his warnings, even if they were made with good intentions. As those black eyes trained on him, Oryan was no stranger to their gaze. He had seen them before in his visions, though he was never sure if he’d meet them face to face.
“I know you have people who rely on you, and people who get hurt because of you. I would just tread with caution, if I were you. Especially if you encounter a man with a funny hat and a very convincing manner of speech. I promise you it may not go in your favor…”

| ⚠ | Looking the man over several times as he waited for an answer, Morgen considered that he may have been too close to the destruction. Fatal internal damage could mean the guy was dead and didn't even know it yet... If that was the case, he may not even get a response. The deep night was eerily silent except for the blond when he did speak, and a chill crept down his spine at the soft, unfortunate words.
No emotion crossed the shorter man's face, but a stab of sympathy and pity crossed his chest as he moved his flashlight over the taller man again. If he was looking for someone in this shape... the likelihood of finding them either in similar condition, or alive at all, was small.
"Yeah?" Morgen's voice was rough and he cleared it as he stepped closer, trying to soften his usually brusque tones. "I've been searching for survivors like you, yeah? What do they look like? Maybe I can help you find'em."
A purely internal sigh, if this guy was a walking corpse, he'd be dead soon anyway. If not... he'd try to find him some help. Take him to one of the settlements he's got contacts in. Finding places for people to go was something of his job, after all. Just not.... normally after an entire city was wiped from the face of the planet.
"Come on... There are others gathered not far from here, looking for survivors, too. We'll get those wounds looked at, while we're at it.."
He'd reached out to guide the other back the way he'd come, and realized he was missing his left arm. Where Morgen had thought to catch hold of the limb, his hand passed through the space disconcertingly, and he did a double take with a sharp intake of breath--but... Though there was a bit of blood on him, there wasn't any sign of massive blood loss as if he'd lost the limb recently. With a quick pass of a hand over the stump, he sighed. It wasn't a new injury then--
"The hell happened to you, man? Other than--you know what, nevermind... C'mon."
@kamikazemorgen said: ❛ is there a reasons you’re here on your own ? ❜ A Good First Impression? // first meeting starters
He looked like utter hell-- or maybe more like Hell itself spat him back out after chewing on him a little bit. Covered in sand and dirt, bruised and... burnt in places? A messy mop of damaged hair swept in front of his face in a curtain, distant blues peering through at the stranger from behind it.
The blond opened his mouth to speak, but it fell closed again just as easily. Why... was he out here by himself?
... wait, he... he wasn't meant to be by himself.
"... looking for someone..."

| ⚠ | The other's initial response got an actual snort from the redhead, and he shook his head as he sipped from the whiskey he held. There was enough alcohol in his system that it was more funny than irritating and he did give a short-lived chuckle.
"Some of that is dirt and sand from the road," he shrugged and took another sip. "Exhaustion is a typical state of being for me, given I travel a lot."
It was true, he did seem to perpetuate a constant state of fatigue when away from.... home. Always on the move, and always on the look out. Lucky for him, there wasn't a wanted poster for him in this particular establishment. That had been why he chose this place. Seemed calm enough, even for a loud crowd of card players and drinkers.
"What about you, is pointing out my sleep-deprivation a form of entertainment, or are you bored?"
Not that the guy was bothering him, necessarily, but he wanted to know, what drew his attention to him of all people.
@kamikazemorgen continued from here
Gerald snorted a bit, offering a grin in return. It was a little too wide, but it was lively and full of good humor. "Pfft. Please. If I start pulling out pick-up lines here? Everyone's panties would be off in a heartbeat. And I dunno about you, but in a place like this? That's a flood I'd rather avoid." He gave a regretful sigh. "Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of lookers in this crowd, but that's a lot of folks to follow through with. Awesome as I am? I'm still only one guy. Not even MY stamina lasts forever." He shook his head. "Nah. You REALLY do look that tired." He dragged a finger down the bottom lid of his own eye for emphasis. "Those dark circles you're sporting look like they're about to invent a new shade of exhausted just for you."
