Who: Your friendly neighborhood heroes AND YOU
Where: The lobby
When: Evening of Day 66

[ Today several members of HSS are gathered in the lobby, all wearing their own team uniforms - and all of them in bright technicolor... including Hiryuu. They’re surrounded by cups of steaming lavender chamomile tea, meant to soothe and relax the nerves. Sure, the world maybe be ending a little, but... tea! They’re trying.

Mori steps forward to greet everyone. ]

Hello everyone! I know things look dark right now, but Heart Soldier Senshi invites you all to forget your worries for just a moment and join us for a relaxing cup of tea. I think a chance to take a short breather will do everyone a lot of good.

We know everyone is working hard, so we’re also here to cheer you on with a complementary inspiring speech, available by request!

[ They also have a sign that reads: Things are going to be alright!

One or several HSSes will be flagging down anyone who comes by. ]

[well he got the healing needed notif in his inbox and came running but

you're already dead

...give him a minute to take in the scene and catch his breath, he's not sure what's going on here but he doesn't like it]

...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[okay

Lucifel and a pep have him, that's handled

...but this keeps happening, why does this keep happening, why do people keep killing each other unnecessarily...

...he can do a thing with this, can't he? He can...

Deep breath in, he hits the Live button, and he falls to his knees, summoning tears that aren't exactly false.]

Why... Why does this keep...?

[WRITES! THAT! DOWN!]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[w o w

you're just going to let him cry

that's like the opposite of helpful oh my gosh]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

[He needs to record this properly first, then he'll get up to talk to him, okay.

Offering him a tissue.]

Excuse me, sir?

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[doesn't... accept it yet...]

...It just keeps happening... Everyone keeps killing each other... Why...? Why...?

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

...This was his determination. This was how he decided to go out. I'm not sure he wanted this from the start, this was... bad. I'm sorry.

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[puzzlekeeper]

[ Wow good job y'all are killin it today ]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[are you maybe going to come help him stop crying?

no?

'cause these aren't not real tears]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[foolmetwice]

[SO MANY UNITS ON BRAND TODAY IT'S IMPRESSIVE!!]

[just claps]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[W O W

That actually gets him to look up, with a teary, upset expression. He doesn't care that his voice is cracking.]

What is there to applaud? A man was just killed, and you did nothing to stop it!

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[foolmetwice]

[. . . . .]

Right now, making sure the units maintain image is more important. And that was on point for ☆ZRAEL.

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[so that explanation is only going to make things worse...]

So... So because it was on point, that makes it right? You stand back and hand out tea and applaud while a man is murdered in front of you, and you think that justifies it?

[forgottenmercy]

[was a bit late in looking at his notifs and comes downstairs in time to see Lavender fall to his knees crying and runs to him, once he takes a bit of time to absorb the situation.]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[He doesn't immediately look up, just continuing to sob uselessly on the ground.

(...Though to be honest, he's probably needed this for a while. These tears aren't exactly not real, nor are they entirely about this, now that they're flowing.)]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[forgottenmercy]

[just going to wrap his arms around him and try to hum soothingly, while keeping an eye on...whatever is even going on.]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[The touch is grounding, and appreciated. He doesn't hug back, though eventually he'll manage to at least reach a hand up to touch yours.]

...why does everyone keep...

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[poisong]

What...?

[hold on, pulling out her phone to check what sensitIV's lives are supposed to be]

Ooooh.

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[yup

you get free points by reacting to him crying over your unitmate, among other reasons why these tears aren't not real

you're welcome]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[stakesthesame]

[ after i get beat up, tbh, ]

... you guys are just... like this, huh.

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[to be fair this is the first time he's ever hit the Live button for his own breakdown

when you're on the unit that's encouraged to cry in public, you work with what you've got]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[dragonheartedgirl]

There, now.

[ She has a tissue handy! She'll start drying his eyes. ]

That was a really terrible thing to witness? You healers have such a hard but necessary job to do.

[ And she feels for you, she really, really does. ]

Re: ...Counter Counter Live

[mycaringheart]

[He doesn't react to the tissue. At least, not yet.

He's still crying, though.]

I... I obtained this power for a reason... And I gladly use it to that end...

But why... Why does this keep happening...?

[He doesn't realize his voice is getting a little louder.]

Why did no one try to stop it...?

[dragonheartedgirl]

Doodle hit his Media Attention button, Lavender. He wanted this. It's hard to understand for me, too. But even though it's hard to sit by when something like that is happening, since he wanted to fulfill his role right up until the end--it was important for us to honor his wish.

[mycaringheart]

[o h]

...That's... You stood back and let him die... because he decided to make it into a Live? That's the reason?
