potential spoilers and a bad voice test.

[contentious]

You don't have to do this if you don't want to.

But remember that someone has to and will do it, even if you don't. Not all of us have that luxury of choice, so I guess you're one of the lucky ones. [A scowl.] Just give a warning before you get in over your head and decide to send me somewhere, got it?

We can't all be pulling kamikaze stunts.


[Someone's not exactly happy with their recent meme tags. I'm willing to bet it's because of the 'causing-his-partners-emotional-distress' part.

also. is he chapter 3-Chris? not even the mun knows.]

[tobeagod]

Another one of you. It's a pity there couldn't be multiple versions of someone useful or at least entertaining.

[contentious]

Should've known you'd be here in Hell.

[Big frown at that, and trying his best to keep neutral.] If I'm not entertaining, then what exactly are you trying to do?

[tobeagod]

Where else would I be? I seem to have oodles of free time after someone decided the best way to handle things was with a volcano and a pair of missiles.

[a pause, a moment of pretending to think on the question.]

That's a broad question with many answers, Chris. Narrow it down some.

[contentious]

You're like a bad itch, Wesker. Someone has to put you down for good.

[He shakes his head, hands clenched into fists now.] No. I'm not playing your games.

[weaponmadeperfect]

Like they'll warn you.

[Hey Chris, have an AU Sherry, still working for the good guys, just raised by the bad.]

[contentious]

[Pause, and then trying to relax with a sigh.]

—They better. [Not that he can really make any actual threats.] They have you here too, Sherry?

[weaponmadeperfect]

Yeah the place I'm at's kinda slow, but at least mun's letting me have some what of a life which is cool. Just wish I wasn't working for the people I was working for.

But I have allies that make it worth it.

[contentious]

[Raising a brow.] Oh no. Should I ask?

GEE I WONDER WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

[apositive]

[He'd say something about taking your own words into account but Piers doesn't want to ruffle any feathers, especially with such a delicate topic. And especially since he knows exactly what the good captain is referring to.]

Captain.

WHO ARE YOU, COMPLETE AND TOTAL STRANGER?

[contentious]

[Things don't have to escalate if you play your cards right, Piers. except they already have, and it's too late to tip toe.]

Piers. [A brief nod.] It's just one thing after another.

MY MOMMY TOLD ME NOT TO GIVE MY NAME OUT, SORRY :(

[apositive]

[Considering the nature of the thread in question, things can't possibly escalate any further.]

If it becomes overwhelming, Captain, you know you don't have to do it alone.

[Right?]

[pathogenetic]

Che'. Like you're one to lecture.

[W/E BRO he's still not a fan. But his tone is grudging rather than outright 'no screw you']

[contentious]

[HEY THAT'S PROGRESS, right?]

It wasn't meant for you, but at least you're listening.

[pathogenetic]

Never said I didn't know how, GI Joe.

[flipkicking]

Warnings would be nice. Let me know if you happen to get that lucky one day.

[This is a smile. Even if the emotional distress is indeed emotional. And distressing. But not quite here yet so stfu we can be happy.]

I am collecting a cast and I have no regrets HI AGAIN

[contentious]

We might be waiting a while for that day, if that's our best bet. Sure you wanna take that chance? [Deflating himself because really, he can't hold a grave look at this point in his life.

... Being happy is nice.]

this is good AND HI

[flipkicking]

Might as well have something to look forward to. Couldn't hurt, at least.

[Chris, you clearly need more happiness in your life. 8( Especially after RE6 decided to take RE5's happy ending, tear it up, and go, "LOL NOPE."]

If nothing else, I'm getting used to it, though.

[oneandonly]

We all have to do things we don't want to, Chris. [Eyeing him with some concern before smiling a little.] It's part of the adventure.

[contentious]

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

[Scratching at the back of his head.] I think I've had enough adventure for several lifetimes, between you and me.

[possessedchroma]

I don't think they usually tell you anything before they send you anywhere. At least, I didn't get any warning..

[contentious]

Yeah, I know.

[He was around with the muns were talking about it, unfortunately.]

[possessedchroma]

Where are they talking about sending you, anyways?

[growstrangelydim]

[Nice username, bro. John appreciates it.]

I thought kamikaze was out of style at this point. Went out at the end of World War II, didn't it?

[contentious]

[Thanks! Even if he doesn't know John.]

That's the military strategy. I'm referring to rushing in without thought— it's what my second-in-command called it. [A little shameful, but he shakes his head.] I'd hope it was out of style, by now.

[growstrangelydim]

[Well, John knows Chris. Or of him.

Kind of.

He's "the man" in Jill's life. Total winner, right?]

Kinda is, yeah. Everyone nowadays just puts on dynamite vests and blows theirselves up.
