imeeji_frontstage | i love the smell of BE=DE in the morning

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?]

These things just happen with Bad End, don't mind them.

They seem to have taken their theme to heart.

At least you're getting out of it with just paint all over you.

I shudder to think of the alternative.

Well. We could have gotten body parts off the shop and get SensitIv to piece you back together.

Lovely! So good to know how much to hate how healing works in this place.

I do know first aid if you get injured and don't want to rely on another Unit. I don't, personally. But obviously that has its limits.

Yes, of course. One cannot afford to be choosy when they have been blown up, for instance.

Pretty much. And actually dying without getting another Unit to revive you is not a fun experience, so. Don't do that.

This may come as a shock to you, but I very much do not want to die.

I wouldn't have known given you were just close enough to one of these.

Was I supposed to just leave it alone?

Yes. If you don't want to risk dying.

It would be irresponsible to just leave it be!

[ holy shit. this is so cute but he feels even more patronizing than he usually is so he won't say it. But only because it's him ]

Should we take the naming theme from Future is Now and call you Responsibility?

Absolutely not.

Well. I'm still putting you in charge of being Taisho's responsible adult. I mean. I suppose you're likely older than me so it fits well enough. Congratulations.

But did you decide on a name yet?

Wait, no, that role is definitely still yours.

And... I have not. Which points further to me not being the responsible adult.

I like to be the bossy one, not the responsible one. That always just ends in pain.

We can keep it to just Hades or Emet-Selch if you'd like, it is still your name after all.

Does that not make things too difficult?

Only if you end up in the same room at the same time. Out in the real world there are people who have the same name everywhere at all times, so why can't you have the same as another? Especially considering that, well. It's yours.

Whatever you're more comfortable with is fine.

...True enough.

I prefer Hades, I think.

Hades then. Though I should warn you there is someone else on Avante with that name as well.

It's going to be a little funny if you three end up in the same room.

Three... It would be amusing.

We have decent enough ties to Avante, though I spoke with that guy only once. If you meet him tell him it was your name first.
