[well, nobody's first murder is perfect.]

It was his plan. He should have thought of it.

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

He's gonna be mad enough I went through his phone so we'll dry off his clothes with hand towels as best we can and just leave it. He's probably really bitchy about his personal space.

I just don't want this traced back to us if possible. I don't need any fools spouting justice on our case.

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwillpowercheck]

If anyone gets mad at us for this...

[JUST... SHAKES HIS HEAD....]

[we_meet_again]

[He follows Nine-Nine inside. The smell of bleach and the sight of Intensity's body on the floor just kind of washes over him, and he takes in the scene without really reacting to anything.]

Hello.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He laughs at his expression.]

Good. He did prep you.

Some ground rules. One. You never speak about this to anyone. Ever. I don't need this circulating around and rumors spreading. Let's avoid that bullshit.

Huh. Guess there is only one ground rule. He's all yours.

[Gives a fake salute.]

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

I wouldn't put it passed the idiots in this place.

[Guess it is time to start scrubbing the floor.]

Also I can think of a few people who would get squeamish just about hearing about it.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[gives Nine a somewhat exasperated look before turning his attention to Cobalt.]

Sorry about this. I've healed him fully, so all you have to do is revive him.

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwillpowercheck]

I can't really argue with that. Ugh.

[he'll help with the cleaning, though until the worst of the blood is gone it'll mostly be in the form of keeping Nine supplied with rags and bleach.]

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He'll make sure to clean off the spear and then find a dumpster to toss the tarp in. Can't really find a place to burn it. He rubs his brow attempting not to get blood in his hair as he takes another rag.]

Thanks. This isn't exactly a glorious job.

[we_meet_again]

News about this getting around is the absolute last thing I want, so no worries there.

[He kneels beside Intensity, rubbing his hands together like he's warming them up.]



Alright, here goes nothing.



[He puts his hands on Intensity's chest. For a moment, nothing happens.

Suddenly there's a clap of displaced air and a plume of green light bursts around them, radiating outward, illuminating everything -- the floor, the air, Intensity's body -- coils of delicate mist appear and vanish in a moment, leaving behind shimmering motes of green light, twinkling like shards of crystal.

It's over in a second. The sparkling green lights glitter briefly and wink back out of existence.]

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwillpowercheck]

Mm. Hold still for a second.

[pulls out a scrunchie from the pocket of his shorts. he finger-combs Nine's hair back into a ponytail and ties it back.]

There.

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[He does hold still, and that's actually really helpful. He gives Anubis a smile.]

I don't think I'd look good as redhead.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[In contrast to the delicate and tranquil light show that preceded it, Intensity wakes up just like every time he was revived in the House of Mirth.

He wakes up fucking screaming]

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwillpowercheck]

[despite the situation, he can't help but smile back a little.]

This definitely isn't the situation to put that to the test.

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Yikes.]

[Doesn't even have a smart ass comment.]

Re: [cw: death, stabbing, and stupidity. But mostly stupidity]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

No. We're on the clock as it were.

[Sighs and returns to a frown as he continues.]

The Producer Organization Chart. Nameless. But even that, if Exael does pull through with her end of the bargain it will be worth it.

[rollwillpowercheck]

[UHHH

oh shit, did he miss something? no, there's no way. but--]

Intensity-san?!

[we_meet_again]

[Cobalt puts his hand on Intensity's shoulder.

For Intensity, Cloud Nine feels like a rush of soothing water through his mind, washing back all negative emotions. His fear is still there but it's out of arm's reach, where it can no longer affect him. His thoughts become clear and calm.]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Bold of you to think emotions like clear, calm, and soothing actually have a positive impact on Intensity. I mean, yeah sure, for a normal person, that would absolutely be the thing to do.

But for Intensity who lives and breathes on spite and anger, it just makes him feel unnaturally--- empty.

He turns and grabs the wrist of that hand on his shoulder with more force than necessary]

What that fuck is that? Turn! it! Off!

[we_meet_again]

[He doesn't flinch in Intensity's grip, but he does turn it off.

All Intensity's negative emotions are back at full blast.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Let's go of Cobalt's wrist and just---

Okay.

Okay. Give him a second to re-orient himself]




Congratulations. Your revival powers work.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Fuck, he just got Cloud Nine'd and it feels more like the Ninth Circle of Hell.

Whhhhhhhy?]

What!?

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Patting him on the shoulder.]

You did good, kid.

[Nevermind that they look similar age, ok?]

[rollwithdisadvantage]

[Laughing really hard at him and tossing him his phone.]

CEO's fine. We're done here.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[You asshole. There is no way he is coordinated enough to catch that.

It just like...

Bounces off his shoulder or something]

Oh fuck off.
