"Eyes..." Fish groaned, "Could you stop with that god-foresaken maggot already?!"
It was the dead of night, and everyone had fallen asleep, all except for Eyes. He was sadistically torturing a maggot by repetitively pulling it towards him and then letting it go, before starting the process all over again. The only noise you could hear in the darkness was Eyes loudly warbling. Obviously it was getting a little irritating to everyone.
Eyes stepped on the maggot to prevent it from escaping and turned towards Fish. He mumbled a few things in response before returning to tormenting the poor maggot, trying (in vain) to warble quietly.
"Eyes, we need some sleep for the next day. There's going to be a damned heat wave and I'm pretty sure none of us will take it very well." Crystal said, her patience wearing thin.
Eyes did not stop.
Steroids grumbled, "It's scientifically impossible to sleep with this noise..." He observed Robot in sleep mode, blissfully unaware of the annoyance. "Maybe it's a bit of a stretch to say that, but still..."
Eyes did not stop.
Plant began to growl viciously, and it was clear he was losing his temper.
Eyes did not stop.
Finally, Plant snapped and dove straight for the maggot. He furiously gobbled it up and trapped Eyes in a vine snare to prevent him from finding more stuff to play with. "Finally," Rebel said, "maybe we can get some actual sleep around here. I envy Y.V..." Crystal ended the conversation by sternly saying, "We'll release you in the morning..." Her voice trailed off and the crew finally fell asleep.
Eyes struggled in his thorny prison, trying to break free. Mumbling in protest, he noticed that Melting began to snore, and Plant was making a strange clacking sound with his teeth. How come they didn't get yelled at for making a loud, repetitive noise? It wasn't fair, it wasn't right! He began to focus on one of the thorny vines he was entangled in, and began using his telekinesis. Thankfully, the noise of the others sleeping was loud enough to drown out the warbling. Ever so slowly, Eyes was unwrapping himself from his foliage chains, and after a few minutes, was finally free!
He began to look at his options; one was to find another maggot and torture it (this time far away from those zero-tolerance jerks). Another one was to just sleep. And another was to pack up and leave. He had been tiring of living with these "people," as no one really seemed to be friends with him. He couldn't crack jokes, hell, he couldn't speak, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any personality! If these guys just took the time to learn more about him... Besides, Plant seemed to hate Eyes right off the bat. The two did have a similar interest (maggots), but Plant was always so selfish! This incident was definitely the final nail in the coffin.
So, Eyes packed his revolver, some rations, a few medkits, and set off.
