Zen But Mcyt

The vampires cast is in my fucking brain and won't get out so welcome to me figuring out how to draw them part one featuring Scott Goldsmith my favorite evil bastard man

I'm definitely not slowly building out a post-oakhurst extended story of Legs joining the Organisation after Abolish stops him from sacrificing himself............

*.*

It had been a long, exhausting process. They'd been sitting in that quiet office for hours — him, Abolish, and an agent who had been introduced but Legundo couldn't remember his name — slowly working their way through the official statements.

Legs was used to paperwork. Between the military and medical training, he had filled out more than his fair share. This wasn't all that different from giving a report to a superior officer after a military campaign, but the familiarity brought no comfort. He was glad Abolish was there at least, a steadying presence at his side, as he had to recount the last two months in painful detail. He'd handed over his recordings and his journal at the same time Abolish had handed over the cure books.

Light sleeper

this started after losing his parents. He would frequently have nightmares and wake up to the smallest sounds, or have trouble falling asleep because the leaves outside sounded like footsteps. At some point multiple times after Morcant found him tired in the morning from not sleeping, Morcant pulls out a knife and hands it to this ten year old. He says ‘Keep this under your pillow and when you hear something scary throw the knife at it. If it screams then you were right and you yell for me.’ (he knows nothing will get into the manor or get into Abolish’s room so Abolish can’t get himself hurt by chucking a knife at an actual person). Abolish stares at the knife, he does not know how to throw knives. Morcant teaches him. The only case in which Abolish is not a light sleeper is when he’s been awake longer than he should be and needs to Sleep ASAP. Then it’s lights out, have fun waking him up and getting whacked in the face when he does fully regain consciousness.

Wakes up to his name

Fairly straightforward. He will wake up for a plethora of other things, but he will always wake up to his name unless he’s conked out. This is the best way to wake him up without getting a knife thrown at you.

Now, there are levels to how Abolish sleeps based off of his location.

Danger

This is in the case of extreme missions, ones where leaving a blind spot or turning your back for a second could lead to your death. Abolish sleeps as well as he can before traveling to the mission spot, and refrains unless absolutely necessary from resting (usually by planning the missions to be short enough to do so). If the mission goes long to the point where it is necessary to sleep, he will either tough it out (if applicable and safe to do so) or take a really short nap, armed to the teeth (multiple weapons in reach, on him, and a knife under his pillow) and on edge. The smallest sound by itself will make him snap awake and upright, just in case. He can, will, and has before been awoken by a sound and immediately thrown a weapon at it, completely knocking whoever was sneaking up on him off kilter.

High Alert

There is potential danger in the area, but it is not certain and imminent. However, there is also no safe space to rest (ie a house or space where a vampire could not get into). This is where Abolish would not be in a direct line of fire, he is infiltrating, or accompanying, and hasn’t done anything that would warrant someone being out for his blood. There are deadly threats nearby, but he is not the target. That does not mean he can’t get caught in the crossfire or become the target. Sounds will wake him up immediately, but he will take a second to determine whether it is a threat or not. Any sort of touch to his unconscious body will get whoever did so, friend or foe, absolutely thrown. Restrain first, ask questions later.

Mid Alert

There is danger in the area but a safe space exists. Oakhurst fluctuated but mainly stayed in this category due to the fact that he had a house. This category is also where a lot of his post canon missions fall into because (I headcanon) the Organization a majority of the time gives Abolish missions near to Scott, and Scott lives near Abolish’s apartment (I headcanon Abolish is just constantly cycling through apartments to keep his location hidden and to keep up with Scott moving). So the mission itself is a medium danger level, there could be significant damage if handled ineffectively, but it’s paired nicely with the fact that there is a safe space to rest (which safety isn’t entirely guaranteed, sometimes the targets aren’t vampires, sometimes they figure out a way in anyways). He wakes up to sounds, will throw anything that touches him but he can get a full night of rest without the stress of not having a house/rest place. The knife is still under his pillow, but he can sleep without having any uncomfortable weapons on his person. Still many weapons in the room however.

Low Alert

There is no danger or a very low danger (and by no danger I mean that there is always danger in existing as Abolish does, but you can’t constantly be thinking about that otherwise you’ll never sleep and you’ll work yourself into a frenzy). There is also a safe resting space, usually these are the many apartments that I headcanon Abolish to have frequented. His homes. And yet they are still at low alert and not full safety because while they are his homes they are still not completely safe. (Also why I never refer to them as his homes, just the houses he lives in). He is alone in them, and even on the rare chance when he’s not alone, he doesn’t trust those people to be competent, or attentive enough to relax completely when resting. The knife is under his pillow and there are easy to reach weapons. He wakes to sounds, determines if they’re threats and dismisses them. Any touch will get whoever did so thrown, but less so than normal, just so Abolish can stop getting noise complaints from his neighbors and can avoid paying to fix the wall.

Full Safety

Thornvale Manor does not start in this category (since Abolish arrives here recently traumatized) but once he understands and witnesses the fact that nothing gets past Morcant and that the staff are just as capable and trustworthy, it becomes the only place he can fully and truly relax. There is no weapon under his pillow (although there are still many throughout the room), any sound in the room (which he will only wake up to if he’s particularly stressed) can easily be explained as nonthreatening, and the staff know to call Abolish’s name to wake him up (if someone is touching him while he is asleep it is almost 100% Morcant or a new staff member). Most of the time when Abolish visits Morcant just to visit or to accept a new mission or drop off a report he will stay the night and get some of the best sleep he’s had in years. Morcant is aware of this, and because of this often tries to persuade Abolish into staying longer. It rarely works.
