LIVE!

[criminaljustice]

Who: some good and helpful BAD END=DEAD ENDers and other Imeejins
Where: hotel lobby
When: Day 66, evening after Plan Crazypants

[so anyway.

a Live alert goes off.

and there's Boss, setting fire to Future is Now's cursed couch. this is fine?

Boss seems to be dressed in a suit that's not quite the right fit and his Take No Prisoners t-shirt. maybe some of you even remember a certain portrait that he seems to eerily resemble?

he just smiles up at a camera and waves before going to lounge on a lobby couch near the flames. he hasn't slept much recently, so a nap is fine, right? it's fine.]

((ooc: Boss will be Sir Chilling In The Lobby while Jeva is at work. slow tags may occur until she is free from work. other Bad Enders will be helpers for other units that turn up))

That's fantastic! How can I help?

[awakenerd]

He did that?

[criminaljustice]

[... looks a little surprised? then a little relieved.]

You know how you'd play hard for your unit in the games? Or... well, some of them? It's better if it's for all of them, though.

[cw_underage]

Yes. To me.

[malignstar]

Fair enough.

[afailedmurder]

Is that what it is? I always play harder than the others...

[criminaljustice]

Right, and that's put you at odds with your unit until you spent weeks at a time away from them--that's why you're going gray.

But without conflict between the units, the audience in Hell is bored. And if the audience is bored, we get cancelled.

So the solution is...?

[afailedmurder]

Hmm... sell C to the circus?

[criminaljustice]

[smacks him upside the head.

it's maybe a little harder than it has to be but like. that's still a lovetap, really.]

Nooo. Try again.

[afailedmurder]

[you're no fun]

[but shrugging]

Show unity, stick to our aesthetics, play our role. The others are pacifists for practical reasons above all, so they'll see the wisdom in playing hard rather than risk this.

[gestures to self]

Frankly, I'm offended that these things should happen to AlcheME. We've always made a point of being on brand.

[criminaljustice]

Well, you spent weeks away from the unit.

And B... isn't aggressive to other units at all. Even for the sake of his unit.

It's unfortunate, but it'll be fixed.

[afailedmurder]

I was under the impression that B was being punished for his wardrobe...

Is there some faster fix I don't know about? AlcheME can do what it takes, but we can't expect everyone to cooperate.

[criminaljustice]

Like I said: get a little more rough. Defend your unit.

[gonna lean against because he tiiiiired, A 8(((]

Makes sense, right? Since this is all literally Hell.

[afailedmurder]

I can't deny there's a certain logic to it.

[putting an arm around him]

What about Maki? She's being awfully stubborn.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Boss-san? Are you okay?!

[criminaljustice]

[... yeah. she is.

and he's staying quiet because there's just no good that's going to come from that stubbornness this time around.]

Maki will do as she likes. As she does.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Sanguine is also sitting on the lobby couch, but... as far away from thr burning couch as he can get while still sitting. ]

Hey, Anubis-san.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[syncintohell]

How on earth would that have been for your own good!? And after even when he was maddened, crazed during that game, you tried to go to him!

[ Shu stops what he's doing abruptly, standing ]

I should have words with him.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

[--grabs onto his sleeve if he can, eyes wide]

No, don't! You'll only get yourself hurt, or worse.

[rollwillpowercheck]

Sanguine-san... um, why inside the lobby?

[afailedmurder]

I'm worried about her.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[syncintohell]

[ jumps like immediately, losing— not the seriousness of his demeanor, but falling right back into fussy ]

Fox, you are injured, do not grab onto me like that! I was going to take my axe out to make the point, I wouldn't want you to be near the blade! Be more careful, especially while in this condition!

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

They will not hesitate to harm you as well, Shu.

[criminaljustice]

... yeah, me too.

[afailedmurder]

I'd really prefer to have her on board. But maybe if we can reverse what's happening to me, she'll come around...
