"Ya ain't a burden, if anyone is. Its me!" He laughs again for a moment before pausing at the reaction. Snorting, he locks the head of the bottle into the pipes socket. Allowing a vibrant green hue to flow through the already hazy liquid. "It might as well be-"
" Still, I don't want to be a burden. So just- Let me have this, yeah? " He huffs, eyes watching the carpet before he goes to unscrew the bottle and take a swig. Immediately retching a little, but getting it down. " This tastes like battery acid! "

Sitting back down beside him, he let's out another laugh before cracking open the bottle. He now starts to quietly unscrew one of the hoses connected to his dome. "Ya don't gotta be nice. Stix don't care-"
" I'll be fine." He offers, moving to take one of the bottles with a cautious glance. "It's not really the type of juice my body craves, but I'm trying to be . . . nice and not drive up Stix's electrical bill."

Inwardly smiling, he chuckles and stands up for a momemt before offering a thumbs up. "You got it. Just don't go gettin' addicted like I did-" He mumbles before shifting to go grab two bottles.
" Charlie doesn't need to know a thing. I just need a pick me up. " He offers with could almost be considered a hint of a smile. Leaning in a little closer to give Hemlock's dome a little knock. " Please . . . "

เผ„โœฐ I feel like at some point he just started hitting things to feel better than he could when playing music. Because it wasn't the music HE wanted to write or sing or play.

The cry that ripped through Dex caused Hemlock's attempts to halt. Shaking his head after a moment, the skull rattles around within the dome as he now grabs hold of him. His bass now raised in one hand as he cradled Dex against his chest. "UNHOOK 'EM. NOW. BEFORE I BREAK YOUR -
Wires are disconnected at random, causing jolts of power and data to be ripped from him at random with little consideration for the damage it could do. A pained cry falling from his lips as his body jerks like a dead fish, reaching for Hemlock, but falling short. This little +

If panic could be seen on a skull's visage, it would be clear on the glassy dome that held him. He JUST got his friends back; he was NOT losing them again. "THIS ISN'T FINE-" Pulling on him a bit in an attempt to unhook him. He's clumsy about it and probably going to -
He's sort of jolted out of his own energy-fueled haze. Blinking a few times before he fully understands what's happening. Jerking forward like a broken marionette, trying to reach for the bassist. " Hemlock. . . ? It's fine! " He says, anything but. "I'm fine. It's not +

Walking by the door, only to pause and backtrack immediately. "OI! GET YOUR BLOODY HANDS OFF HIM, A#$&@!%!!" Stomping into the area, as he attempts to pull him away from them.
He's tangled in his own wires. Seething as Harmony technicians deal with the mess, manhandling him back into working order.
