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?]

[Getting coated and just sighing before keeping a lookout for the troublemakers.]

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[they're not trying to hide, so they're easy to spot! Valor in particular is covered in cyan paint and laughing.]

[firstworldproblem]

[Clapping for him.]

Bravo. Bravo.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[bows back]

Thank you, thank you.

[firstworldproblem]

Any particular person who has your ire? Or just in general?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Is this about the vengeance thing? You'll have to ask Hellfire about that.

[points out Kiri]

[firstworldproblem]

Ah, the one that turns into a weapon, correct? I suppose it is incredibly on brand for such feelings.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Yeah, that's Hellfire. I don't really get the vengeance thing, but she wanted to, so... [shrug]

[firstworldproblem]

Points are points...

[Though he looks at himself.]

Though I suppose there is no saving this. What are you saving up for?

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Nothing? Between everything Thorn and Hope left Serenity I'm pretty sure we're all set when it comes to points.

[irregular]

[oh shit it's old man Alexander and his fancy suit is RUINED

[whoops?

[worth it.]

[firstworldproblem]

[Paint probably will never come out of a fur color.]

Enjoy yourselves.

[irregular]

Oh, I plan to.

[firstworldproblem]

I heard this was for Hellfire?

[irregular]

Kiri? Yeah, she was the one did the graffiti. Came out pretty well, I thought.

[firstworldproblem]

It did. Honestly, I only know about her in passing. Same as you all, honestly.

[gravitydefier]

[is spattered in green paint and in contrast to Valor's laughing, is as stoic and calm as ever.]

[firstworldproblem]

Enjoying yourself?

[gravitydefier]

...this wasn't for enjoyment.

[firstworldproblem]

For points then?

[gravitydefier]

No.

[firstworldproblem]

Goodness. How about a hint?

[gravitydefier]

...my unitmates were turning gray.

[firstworldproblem]

Are they fairing better?

[gravitydefier]

...mostly, now.
