That's it.

[It is the day after his encounter with Tara. Beast Boy slams a fist down on a table. Given that it is a gorilla fist, it breaks.]

I've had it. I'm sick of this. I just did this. I just did this! Three months and we were finally friends again!  I'm not going through this... this crap. This is crap. This is bull. Crap. [This sounds like the first time someone has ever said anything harsher than heck.] I don't know what you guys are gonna do, but I'm not letting some crappy fake doctor do this kind of thing to my friends!

Starfire, Raven. We're still the Teen Titans, Robin or not. You guys in or out?

I'm gonna be at the dairy. I'm getting to that machine and I'm fixing it. I hope whichever one of you bozos went in and blew it up is happy.

[Yeah, that's right. He said bozo. What're you gonna do about it, huh?]

[action, dairy]
[Once again, there is a Tyrannosaurus Rex on the loose in Mayfield.  This time, it pounds itself against the walls repeatedly, a desperate, kamikaze effort.  Beast Boy is not one to give in to his bestial urges.  There is nothing feral in this methodical battering except insofar as a man may be so enraged as to lose all that distinguishes him from an animal.

This will continue until he is droned.
Or... until after an hour has passed, when he slowly shrinks back into a skinny, green-skinned, pointy-eared kid, sinks to his knees and tries not to cry in pain, rage and despair.]

[What.
Really.
Was she doing this.

Maybe she was trying to talk to him in sign language or something.
Perhaps she was going to wave at him.

Beast Boy awkwardly takes a half shuffle forward.]

[Marisa likes hugs. She likes to give hugs. And so she'll give Beast Boy another hug. It's not a tight hug, but a warm one. Everyone needs a hug at some point.]

[thebeastwithout]

[Beast Boy is better about receiving hugs when they are not preceded by mental breakdowns but he pats her awkwardly on the back after a few moments.]

[adropofjupiter]

See... not as bad now. Just a teeeny bit better.

[thebeastwithout]

[Beast Boy stares at her stonily for a few moments.]

...
...

Yeah. I guess so. ...Thanks, dude.

[adropofjupiter]

[She shrugs and lets go.

Now... awkward silence.]

[thebeastwithout]

...You wanna help me blow up the dairy?

[adropofjupiter]

If it worked, I'd be all for it. Kinda doesn't work that way, ze.

[thebeastwithout]

...Yeah, didn't think so.

Well.

...You had any pizza yet?

[adropofjupiter]

Yeah. It's kinda... weird, but yummy.

[thebeastwithout]

...You wanna go get some?

[adropofjupiter]

Sure. [Of course, she's expecting him to pay.]

[thebeastwithout]

Cool.

...[He manages a smile that makes him look vaguely on the verge of tears before clearing his throat a little and beginning to walk away.]

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa follows along for a moment before suddenly giving Beast Boy a playful shove.]

You're it!

[And she takes off running. She's pretty quick for a normal human.]

[thebeastwithout]

Huh?!

[He just stares at her run for a few moments. ...It is not really helping him cheer up, but she seems to be putting a lot of effort into it, so. Beast Boy morphs into a cheetah after a bit and catches up pretty quick.]
