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))

[now he's back to his normal size, thanks E. his fingers curl into the pillow and he tugs it close, his face blotchy with tears]

Should I call a member of sensitIV?

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

No... there is little they could do, except numb the pain. And I refuse to feel numb right now.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

They can set broken bones, as well, if...

What happened? Yusuke.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

... something terrible has taken hold of Bad End. They are not themselves. They act as though possessed by something evil, something that wants to enforce us all into these roles by any means necessary.

I... loudly objected. I refused to give in. And so they sought to teach me a lesson, in violence.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

They-

"These roles"? Is this about what happened to Marin and Okami?

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

Yes, I think so. They want us to play our parts, and those who do not fit their roles so well... they become infected. But it is not right to push us into them, to erase our identities and try to take away our freedom. I cannot condone that.

[ reaches for his hand. after a long moment of seeming to turn over the words in his head, staring down at their fingers, he drops his shoulders with a sigh ]

... This is all a bit much.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

[he squeezes yasuragi's hand tightly]

I agree.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

[ squeezes back ]

For now, you should rest...

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

Yes, I will. And I will speak to someone from sensitIV... but, later. It may be foolish, but I want to feel this as much as I can. I want it to mean something.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

Like what?

[ squeezes harder for a fleeting instance before his grip loosens to reasonably firm, if looser than before ]

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

Like a cause for rebellion.

[squeezes tighter]

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

...

Don't vanish.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

... I don't intend to, but then again, who does?

[he lets out a long, wheezy breath like a chuckle]

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

Don't injure yourself further, either.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

[maybe a little petulant]

I would not do so on purpose.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

Even if you'd get to have me nursing you back to health?

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

oh]

That's...

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[ hufflaugh ]

... Who did this to you?

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

... Phoenix, on Bad End.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

... I see.

Do you know him very well?

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[artisticliberty]

He is... my friend.

Re: [ FORESIGHT ]

[sonof]

... I’d like to speak with him.
