i love the smell of BE=DE in the morning

[wotanon]

Who: BAD END=DEAD END & you
Where: far enough away that the hotel is safe, close enough to be heard
When: Day 434, afternoon

[Wherever you are, your phone buzzes with the notification for a Live. Should you check the broadcast, it's just an overhead view of some anonymous building in the city. The roof is covered with a few mysterious dark boxes, as well as words spray-painted in red:

YOU'RE FUCKING WELCOME
VENGEANCE VENGEANCE VENGEANCE IN THE SEVENTHFOLD DEGREE !!!

In the distance, a few small figures dash away . . .

. . . Just as every single box EXPLODES with a very audible series of booms, throwing masses of brightly-colored paint splattering all over the remainder of the building, all the surrounding buildings and road, and probably any passersby within a couple blocks, too.

Also, the explosions collapse the entire roof and top floor of the building, sending paint-splattered rubble flying to the ground as well. Watch out!

The broadcast then helpfully zooms in on the paint-splattered culprits of this mayhem—the entirety of BAD END=DEAD END, who didn't quite manage to outrun their crimes.]

* * *

[If, for some reason, you don't check the broadcast—perhaps because you have more important things to do than watch every live that happens in this godforsaken city—then your day is interrupted by a series of distant, but very loud, explosions. Maybe you should check that out?]

[is spattered in green paint and is generally here to be calm and stoic even in this situation.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Valor seems to be in a good mood! and he's mostly cyan, himself.]

Hey, did it work? Are you still fucking grey or what?

[gravitydefier]

...It helped.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[looking over Sakura to see if he can spot any change, but...being covered in paint makes that a little difficult]

Well, you're probably the worst off, so there's more shit we could do if you need it.

[gravitydefier]

...there's no need. What about the rest of you?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[what bits of Valor that aren't covered by cyan paint are still grey-tinted. doesn't seem too different from how he was before the live. there's...a pause before he answers.]

...I'm feeling alright.

[gravitydefier]

...you're still gray.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Relaaax. Probably just needs a little time.

[gravitydefier]

Hm. We'll see.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

What, are you worried?

[gravitydefier]

My actions helped cause this in the first place.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[shrugs]

If this doesn't work, we'll do another fucking live. Or dig up that fucking request list. Pretty sure Lupine won't say no to making out in public again.

[gravitydefier]

...we'll see, then.

[soulcarve]

[ but can he be calm and stoic through her unceremoniously reaching over to try to smear some of the paint away to check his level of gray-ness?

...this probably also smears him with additional magenta and cyan paint in the process. ]

Hmmm...

[gravitydefier]

[he's very disciplined in general and doesn't show much emotion, so he doesn't really overtly react much. there is a bit of surprise, however, when she touches him, and he definitely moves a bit like someone who isn't used to being touched.]

[irregular]

I guess it's sort-of an improvement?

[gravitydefier]

...better than it was.

[irregular]

We could go break some windows, if there's any didn't get taken out by the blast? All it says it 'do crimes'. Ain't like anyone's using these buildings for anything anyway.

[gravitydefier]

Are you still gray?
