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))

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.

[speakssoftly]

...Would that help you? I think I'm in good shape in terms of unit presentation, honestly.

[awakenerd]

[Shrugging a little.]

It wouldn't help me, but if you think you're doing fine that's enough for now.

[speakssoftly]

I don't want to fight you while you're like this. Maybe another time, if you're still interested.

[awakenerd]

While I'm like what?

[speakssoftly]

This.

[awakenerd]

...This. I'm me.

[speakssoftly]

That doesn't strike me as quite accurate, though I also couldn't say it's fully wrong, either.

[awakenerd]

I'm not anyone else.

[speakssoftly]

Yeah. You aren't. But you aren't quite yourself, either.

[awakenerd]

I'm as me as ever.

[speakssoftly]

Mm, something's definitely different though?

[awakenerd]

I guess I feel more confident than usual.

[speakssoftly]

Anything else?

[awakenerd]

I know where we all screwed up.

[speakssoftly]

Yeah. You've made that part pretty clear.
