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))

Hm? Don't we seem normal? This is how our unit is meant to be. If anything, we should be rowdier. But everyone's a bit tired.

[speakssoftly]

You may seem "normal" from a unit identity standard, but not so much from a yourselves as individuals standard.

[awakenerd]

Yeah? How so?

[speakssoftly]

If I have to tell you how you normally present, I'm going to be really worried.

[awakenerd]

Come on, I'm curious how you see me.

[speakssoftly]

Too late. I'm worried. But I'll answer anyway.

You're really kind, you know? And gentle. You're one of the people I trust most, in this place.

[awakenerd]

Oh.

That's so sweet. Thank you Kirin.

[speakssoftly]

I'm just calling it like I see it.

But because of your importance to me, I can tell something's up. What happened with Bad End?

[awakenerd]

We're being, oh, what's the phrase, "on brand". Though who knows if this level is enough.

[speakssoftly]

What's the incentive?

[awakenerd]

Because we're all doomed if we don't.

[speakssoftly]

[fuck]

Fun. Could I maybe get specifics on the reasons for that?

[awakenerd]

You know about how we're in hell being watched by an audience of the damned?

[speakssoftly]

Yes, I'd heard that part.

[awakenerd]

Anyone tell you what the audience looked like?

[speakssoftly]

No.

[awakenerd]

Colorless silhouettes.

[speakssoftly]

And that's...

[NOPE. FIRM DISLIKE.]

And you're sure it's because people acting "off-image"?

[awakenerd]

Muddying the waters. We're not that popular a show to begin with, if they can't even keep our units straight, our image straight, it's like watching something where everyone looks the same isn't it? Boring.

[speakssoftly]

That's bullshit.

[awakenerd]

An audience can't relate to characters that don't catch the eye.

[speakssoftly]

But we're not characters! We're people who didn't get any say in this!

[awakenerd]

Does it matter when just being people isn't enough to keep us real in hell Kirin? We need more than our own identity, we need the unit identity to keep us from fading.

[speakssoftly]

[he's going quiet, because even if he hates it, if that's the situation there isn't much he can do about it by yelling at Phoenix.]

[awakenerd]

So that's the situation. You could fight me.
