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 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.

[awakenerd]

Well it's not normal which is what you're fishing for.

[speakssoftly]

Yeah... let's drop it and just say I don't want to fight you at the moment.

[awakenerd]

Okay okay. That's fine too. It's not like you're a problem.

[speakssoftly]

Though, on that point, what's your stance on people that are a problem?

[awakenerd]

They need to get in line.

[speakssoftly]

Ah. There we go.

[awakenerd]

What?

[speakssoftly]

That sort of statement is decidedly un-Phoenix-like.

[awakenerd]

Is it? But I think it's true. Even if people suffer a little getting the idea, ultimately it'll be for their benefit.

[speakssoftly]

Even if it's true, usually you'd be gentler and more understanding about it.

[awakenerd]

Gentle and understanding, huh? Not really a unit trait.

[speakssoftly]

It's a Phoenix trait!

[awakenerd]

Don't you get it? Without Bad End there's no Phoenix, without avante there's no Kirin.

[speakssoftly]

Being required to accept your unit's definitions doesn't mean that's all you can be!

[awakenerd]

Right now it's all we can do, is keep everyone in line.

[speakssoftly]

By force? Even if your methods are making them suffer?
