Manic Irfam: "I'm not fucking childish and I am not acting out! And I wouldn't be arguing with Sol if they weren't a fucking idiot! It's not my fault that they're mental!"

-

Manic episodes with Irfam are going to be great, I can already tell. Promachus being the only one who actually knows how to deal with them is crazy.

Sol, very much triggered: "I am not mental, you asshole!! I'm normal! A normal fucking human just like everybody else here! Don't call me that! Don't even pretend that I am that or you're going to get me taken again! So fucking don't, because I'm not! I'm not!!"

Kostas, raising his hands slightly: "Okay, whatever you say, Irfam. I won't argue with you. Sol, do you need me to call Kano for you?"

Sol, seething: "Call that piece of shit and I'll put a knife through their heart, asshole."

Manic Irfam, still being a menace: "Oh wow, threatening people now Sol? Yeah, because that isn't called being mental! That's fucking lovely! Absolutely splendid! Amazing choice there! Completely normal! No clue why anyone would ever think you're mental, Sol! And as much as I love this conversation- Get the fuck out of my lab, maybe? Just a thought? Take yourself and your imaginary friends out of here, Sol! And while you're at it, go ahead and take Kostas with you! Pretty sure I have stuff I'm supposed to be doing right now and pretty sure that stuff is way more important than whatever the fuck all of this is!"

Sol, narrowing their eyes, very much being encouraged to murder Irfam at the moment: "I am not fucking mental! Stop calling me that!"

Kostas, trying to deescalate: "Okay, Sol, come on, let's go. Irfam is right, they have work to do right now."

Sol, shrill, very much panicked, and very much going into a full meltdown: "I'm not going anywhere with you! You're going to take me back there! Back to them! You're one of them, aren't you? You both are! You work for them, don't you? You lied to me! You lied, you lied, you lied! You're just a bunch of liers who want to hurt me! And Kano! Where's Kano?! You're gonna take them too, right? You already took them! Where the fuck are they?! Or did they lie too? Did they turn? Are they working with you too now? What did you do?!"

Manic Irfam, with Pewter in the background trying to cause another 'incident': "Oh wow, Sol's mental and delusional! Who would've guessed! I mean- Would anti-psychotics even help at this point?! I--- Honestly- Do you ever shut up!? Get out of my fucking lab! It's my lab! Get the fuck out! All you're doing here is yelling and- And bitching and being fucking annoying! No one's taking you anywhere because no one gives a shit! Why- Why would we care about taking you somewhere?! You're not fucking special! There's a difference between special and mental, after all!"

Sol, panicking even further and backing into a wall: "I would leave if I could you bastard, but he's blocking the door, and I'm not going anywhere with him! And I'm not mental! I'm sane, I'm normal! I'm completely fucking fine! And why would I believe you about anything? You're a lier! A bad person! I would never trust you!"

Kostas, already texting both Promachus and Kano to get their asses over here: "Alright, Sol, I'm going to back out of the door now, okay? You're free to go, it's okay. And, Irfam, please calm down. We'll get out of your hair in a moment, but causing more stress won't help anything."

Manic Irfam, definitely laughing: "Calm down?! I am fucking calm! It's Sol that's blowing everything out of proportion! Probably because they're psychotic! And what do you mean you'd never trust me?! I'm always right! Always! Do you fucking hear me?! Always!! You're nowhere near normal! Nowhere near sane! I swear--"

Promachus, who had been staying relatively nearby because he was already aware that Irfam was in a manic episode, walking in: "Kostas, what's... Oh. Hello Sol, can I have you step outside? You don't have to go anywhere else if you don't want to. You could stay by the door, go to your room, go for a walk, or whatever else. But I do recommend leaving the lab."

Manic Irfam, looking at Promachus now: "Holy shit- I was fucking talking! You just- The fuck!? Walk on in and interrupt me, why don't you!? Do you mind!?"

Sol, panicked and growing more irritated with more people, especially Promachus since they don't know him well: "I'm not psychotic! I'm not, I'm not!! Go away! All of you go away! I won't go anywhere, I won't! You all just want to hurt me! I-"

Kano, arriving and pausing slightly to take in the scene before sighing: "Sol, you dumbass, come here. You're pinning yourself to a wall, what the fuck do you think that'll do?"

Sol, somehow more panicked: "Not you! Not you! Get away! Leave me alone, you-"

Kano, narrowing their eyes, obviously annoyed: "Sol, no one's coming for you, but I swear I'll call them if you don't shut the fuck up and get over here. You're causing problems. Leave Kostas, Irfam, and Promachus alone and let's go see Rosemary. If you refuse then I won't have any choice but to call them, you got it? Get your shit together. And, you three, I apologize for having to deal with him. Won't happen again."

Promachus, absolutely interrupting Irfam before he can speak and make even more problems, addressing the others before turning to Irfam: "You're fine, Kano, thank you. Kostas, you can leave too... Irfam?"

Manic Irfam, definitely pissed: "Oh, nuh-uh! Nope! Do not use that fucking tone with me, Gabe! I didn't do anything! Sol's the one blowing shit out of proportion! Not me! And you interrupted me! Twice!"

Promachus, sighing: "Didn't realize I had a tone there, Irfam. I apologize."

Manic Irfam, not falling for anything (because obviously there's something to fall for there): "Oh, fuck you! Don't play that game with me! I know you! And you're fucking stupid if you think that I'm going to believe that!"

Promachus, pulling the strangest redirect ever, bringing up (discreetly) the 'incident': "...How's Angelita doing today, Irfam?"

Sol, having gone silent for a moment, watching everything with wide eyes before shuffling over to Kano and lowering their head: "Don't call them, okay?"

Kano, smiling slightly: "I won't. Come on, you asshole, Rosemary misses you."

Sol, quietly, obviously disturbed: "Kano? Ginny's real, right? And Savy? And all... All of them? I'm not psychotic. I'm not..."

Kano, nodding and grabbing Sol's arm to guide him out of the lab: "You're not. They're real. Just dead. That's all. You're alright. Let's go see your cat, hm?"

Kostas, pausing for a moment before smiling slightly at Promachus and turning to leave: "I'll be back later to help with our experiment, Irfam. Just call me when you're ready for me."
