Pervert- No sadist! You're thinking of putting me where?

[Mun is considering sending this poor kid to Haven.]

You're worse than any of the villains I meet!

Comments

[wakey_wakey]

Guilty as charged...not sure about sadist though.

[He knows you weren't talking to him though.]

What's so bad about where y're goin'?

[ex_ingrain634]

[Stranger alert, his ears shoot back in concern but he answers anyway, he never got that 'don't talk to strangers' talk.]

It's horrible! People die and you're stuck there and- I don't want to see people die.

[wakey_wakey]

Death's natural though. It ain't so bad, long as it ain't you.

[Because that is gonna comfort the kid.]

[ex_ingrain634]

[Yeah that worked spectacularly, you know if your intention was of worrying him more.]

I don't want anyone to die!

[Grips his hands into fists at his sides.]

How can you- you're too casual about death!

[wakey_wakey]

[He gives four seconds of a 'Look here, son' expression before sighing heavily.]

People die everywhere. If you don't want people to die, you gotta be the one to stop 'em from dying.

Pretty simple when you get down to it.

Besides, people will die whether y're there or not. Which means, if you wanna do somethin' about it, you gotta stop being afraid and go anyways.

[Philosophical redneck is philosophical.]

[ex_ingrain634]

I'm not afraid! [His voice goes up, but he's not yelling, just almost a kid tantrum he's getting in order.]

I do try to stop it, I just- [His voice gets a little more controlled as he talks, his tail not nearly so fluffed up in outrage by the end of it.]

Do you have any suggestions then? If I can't stop it, then- how do you suggest I help stop people from dying?

[itswindy]

Is it really that bad? Bad enough it warrants being compared to a villain? [He's not even going to give him a chance to reply, he's talking so fast.] You said "thinking of", though. That means there's hope for you yet!

[ex_ingrain634]

[Whoa fast talker! His mouth is open to reply at the first question but closes when he keeps going.]

Ah- but she's already almost done with the- application? [Bit of a question in his voice before he continues, his long black cat tail straight in distress]

She's really going to send me there!

[itswindy]

[He winces.]

Oh. Yeah, okay. That's kind of final, huh? Maybe the application-thingy will get lost in the mail or wherever its sent through to get to the place it needs to go in order to approve you for this -- uh, place.

[Yeah he doesn't understand how this whole thing works.]

[ex_ingrain634]

[He doesn't get it either. Both his ears and his tail droop with dismay, his expression following soon after]

There's no one there I know and I have things I need to be doing where I already am!

[itswindy]

[He scratches his head, mussing up his hair more than it already is.]

Yeah, I feel you there. Maybe you can meet some really awesome people that'll help you through it, though. That's always something.

[ex_ingrain634]

[Frowns, looking down. Looks like a lot of the wind has gone out of his sails with that.]

You're right.

[Just like a kid to get over emotions quickly, or at least come to terms with them.]

Are you being sent someplace you don't want to go?

[itswindy]

[He smiles slightly. At least he wasn't panicking anymore.]

Silver lining, my dude.

[There's a loooong sigh.]

Actually, I don't think I'm being sent anywhere. "Around", she says. [He throws his hands in the air in frustration.] I don't know what that means!

[He actually sounds quite disappointed about that.]

[ex_ingrain634]

[One cat ear cocks to the side]

That sounds lonely.

[His voice goes a little quieter, he understands that feeling all too much.]

[itswindy]

[He shrugs. Fortunately he came to terms with the fact that there's nothing he can do about it. Except hope. He can still hope!]

Yeah, kinda. But I'm holding out on the hope she'll change her mind. She sent my two friends to places so why not me, right?

[ex_ingrain634]

[Smiling, he nods]

That's true! And hopefully it'll be some place nice.

[itswindy]

[Nodding his head animatedly.]

Exactly, exactly. See? Things around here probably aren't as bad as they seem half the time.

[So hang in there.]

[ex_ingrain634]

[You get another smile for that.]

Thank you.

[itswindy]

[Yaaay! Smiles are good. He'll return it with gusto.]

No problem.

I'm Windy, by the way.

[ex_ingrain634]

Windy? Weird. [Course he's used to people going by some strange names too.]

I'm Ritsuka.

[itswindy]

Weird in a cool way, of course. [He's really proud of his name okay.] Nice to meet you, Ritsuka.

[ex_ingrain634]

[One ear flicks to the side, and had he met Windy a few months ago he'd probably have replied rudely, as it is, he smiles.]

Do you want to make a memory with me?

[itswindy]

[Windy cants his head to the side, curiously.]

Sure. What kind of memory?

[ex_ingrain634]

[Digs through a bag at his side, pulling out a digital camera]

Pictures are better than memory, they're easier to trust.

[itswindy]

[Windy flashes another smile, though he can't help but think of his friend with all of this memory business. Scar would disagree fervently, ha.

Windy, on the other hand:]

I agree completely. Pictures are better.

[painfree]

What's the big deal?

sorry your comment got lost in my inbox

[ex_ingrain634]

Ah! Youji! [Hey someone he knows!] It's horrible- a lot of people die there.

np!! :]a

[painfree]

They do?

What, it's survival of the fittest?

-- You're not allowed to kick it!

[ex_ingrain634]

More like they kill you and you don't get much say in it. There's crazy doctors and - it's like a bad horror movie!

[painfree]

You mean a good horror movie, right? Because if it's scary, they did a good job!

[ Nope he's not taking this seriously nope... ]

What're you gonna do? ... You're not by yourself, right? No way.

[ex_ingrain634]

[Frowns! But then there's a question, so he focuses on that.]

There are people there but no one I know. [This wouldn't have been an issue a few months ago when he didn't want to be friends with anyone.]

[painfree]

Make friends with the biggest people!

Or the slowest.
