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))

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?

[awakenerd]

If necessary. I don't see why anyone would want to turn into a hollow existence but sometimes people are stubborn.

[speakssoftly]

People tend to be stubborn even more when you're overbearing and cruel.

[awakenerd]

I don't feel like I'm being cruel. Sometimes lessons have to be harsh though.

[speakssoftly]

It's not your place to teach those lessons.

[awakenerd]

Isn't it?

[speakssoftly]

If we're operating on your own logic, how is it Bad End's role to enforce any sort of status quo?

[awakenerd]

It's not. It's just that no one else is, and someone has to. Once everyone gets the point we can go back to being delinquents.

[speakssoftly]

Can you please just... not? I don't want to fight you.

[awakenerd]

Not... What? Get people to get with the program?

[speakssoftly]

Telling people what to do to protect themselves is fine. Pushing it... Please don't force the issue.

[awakenerd]

The issue has to be forced sometimes though, doesn't it? People don't get it.

[speakssoftly]

Not like this. Phoenix, please.

[awakenerd]

Then like what?
