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?]

They are much the same, just larger. And, of course, visible to the public.

[polydegmonsprice]

These are much better, then.

[rainshaveceased]

Indeed.

How have you been settling in?

[polydegmonsprice]

Well enough. I confess I took some time to myself after my rather... exciting introduction.

[rainshaveceased]

All of us rather crowded you, didn't we? My apologies.

[polydegmonsprice]

It isn't as though I can blame you all for seeking out someone important to you.

[rainshaveceased]

Even so, we could have been more considerate about it.

[polydegmonsprice]

It is too late for such considerations. We may as well forget it.

[rainshaveceased]

If you wish.

Have you participated in any games yet?

[polydegmonsprice]

Not yet.

[rainshaveceased]

That is a small blessing, at least.

[polydegmonsprice]

[...

wading over

to pat his head.]

Come now, do not worry so.

[rainshaveceased]

Unfortunately, I am a worrier by nature.

[polydegmonsprice]

I am not quite so delicate as all that, so temper your habits.

[rainshaveceased]

I was not implying that you are delicate. I am in fact fully aware of how resilient you can be.

[polydegmonsprice]

Well then! That is good to know.

[rainshaveceased]

Of course, that does not mean I will not worry.

[polydegmonsprice]

[...pats a little harder.]

And so smug about it, somehow.

[rainshaveceased]

Smugness is another trait of mine that simply cannot be repressed.

[polydegmonsprice]

Why is everyone around me so much? What have I done to deserve this?

[rainshaveceased]

Would you prefer that I leave?

[polydegmonsprice]

Absolutely not.

[rainshaveceased]

Good, as I do not wish to leave.

[casually scoots closer to lean on him]

[polydegmonsprice]

[it is harder for emet to lean in return given their height difference, but he can put an arm around him.]

Good.

[rainshaveceased]

When you do eventually play in games... if you ever need company after one, you are welcome at future is now.
