Yuri is displeased...

[a_seat_in_hell]

Are you kidding me? Of all of the things you could send me to do?!

And it sure as hell won't be someone I know. You want me to go to that place and... and...

[Yuri shudders visibly, rubbing his face before he finally sighs in defeat.]

No, I get it. You're gonna send me anyway, aren't you? And...S-stop making jokes about Flynn. No. I wouldn't wish this upon anyone so I don't want him there. If something happened and I couldn't be there to help him out-- to keep somebody else's filthy hands off of him-- yeah, I've seen the things you've let people do to the other headmates in here! So don't try to act like you're going to be nice.

Tch... Love hotels... this is going to suck.

[oh ho ho, Yuri yes! Maybe literally.]

Comments

[weald]

Just ask them to wash their hands, first!

[a_seat_in_hell]

[He blinks stupidly for a moment. Is that-- no way-- Weird. The resemblance to Flynn is striking enough to throw Yuri off for a moment.]

Yeah, sure. That'll help the situation.

[weald]

[Someone better get their eyes checked.]

Have them wear gloves and change them out?

[a_seat_in_hell]

I'd rather not be touched by strangers. At all. Ever.

[He rolls his eyes.]

[weald]

Then...don't let them?

[Really? Really?]

[a_seat_in_hell]

Might not be given much choice, at this point.

[And he shrugs, giving a huff and a slightly distrusting sideways glance to the other man.]

What good do things like that do against ropes and chains and-- who knows what else.

[weald]

Pull out your sword, of course!

[He is going to make a greatly bad swooping gesture to get his point across.]

[a_seat_in_hell]

[Yuri's palm swiftly meets his face.]

Yes, and don't worry-- I'll just nibble at the restraints until I'm able to free my sword arm. I'm sure that will go well.

[weald]

Don't get caught then you won't have that problem!

[a_seat_in_hell]

[Yuri's mouth opens as though he's going to say something else, and then he simply reaches up and tugs at his long hair before rubbing his face and sighing sharply.]

Yes. Yes. Of course. If only life was really that simple.

1/2

[weald]

[...]

You're not that good at fighting, are you?

2/2

[weald]

I could help you, in that case!

[a_seat_in_hell]

[Yuri looks completely baffled. He deflates slightly and speaks slowly as though trying to make himself understood by a child.]

I can hold my own just fine, but fighting isn't the most important thing in the world. You've got to know when to bide your time. C'mon-- fighting isn't just smashing things up. You know that, right? [A beat, and his expression melts into a bit of a smile.]

Although-- it's pretty nice of you to offer to help.

[weald]

Well, yeah. It's obviously about protecting stuff that's important...

[What are they even talking about?]

Didn't you mention some Flynn person? How are you going to do anything for them if you're chained up or whatever?

[a_seat_in_hell]

[Like Yuri knows-- he can't even remember what he was arguing about now.]

Flynn? Well... I guess-- I don't know. But I'll think of something. I was mostly just saying that I hope he doesn't end up there, even though my mundane was hoping for the opposite. You know how muns get-- it's like our suffering amuses them.

[weald]

That does sound pretty rough.

[Huh...]

Tell them to stop, then!

[a_seat_in_hell]

Load of good that's doing right now. That was the whole point of speaking up-- but it's not really going anywhere.

[He becomes a bit more serious then; solemn, almost.]

If it's just me, I can handle the abuse. But I don't think I could take seein' somebody I care about get hurt when I couldn't do anything about it.

1/3

[weald]

Abuse?

2/3

[weald]

[...]

3/3

[weald]

I'm absolutely sure that you're making no sense, now.

[a_seat_in_hell]

[Yet again, Yuri's hand meets his face rather swiftly. He grumbles and then composes himself before speaking again.]

That's all for the better. Don't worry about it.

[weald]

Are you a pervert?

[surfeits]

This Flynn, he sounds like an idiot. Can't he take care of himself?

[a_seat_in_hell]

Flynn-- an idiot? [Yuri first feels indignation for his friend, but then he snickers and shrugs.]

Yeah, the guy's an idiot but let me tell you-- I don't think you wanna end up on the wrong end of his sword. He can take care of himself just fine... but some of these places have ways of rendering you helpless regardless of your skill with a blade.

[surfeits]

[Did he stutter? Of course that isn't the reaction he was expecting and it leaves him looking slightly annoyed.

By the way, he doesn't believe Yuri. Rendering someone helpless, right. It sounds like a poor excuse to him.]

Well, in that case I am sure you two shall have a wonderful reunion in... whatever that place is called.

[a_seat_in_hell]

Not likely. I'm hoping he stays far away-- and it's just going to stay in my mundane's twisted little imaginings.

[He shrugs, then-- looking rather annoyed himself.]

[surfeits]

You're only fueling her. You came in here saying such things. That's practically advertising what that woman wants. It would be no surprise if this Flynn character joins you soon.

[a_seat_in_hell]

[Yuri grits his teeth.]

Yeah, I guess that's my reward for trying to be reasonable.

[Flynn would be proud.He thinks bitterly to himself.]

[surfeits]

Reasonable? I think you're looking for another word. [Maybe stupid.] And you weren't trying. You did a fine job of it.

[a_seat_in_hell]

[Goes to show that all of that peaceful talking it out stuff doesn't always work. Yuri looks away, his expression almost blank.]

Yeah. You're right.

[surfeits]

Of course I'm right. [He didn't need Yuri to tell him that.]

The worst is that you can't even rectify your mistake.

[brand_of_disgrace]

It might suck. It might blow, too. Or fuck.

[a_seat_in_hell]

Julian, you're not being helpful.

[He grumbles, obviously in a foul mood. Yuri shoots the other boy a look though, apologetic for sounding too harsh.]

There's no getting out of it. Hopefully... nothing will come of it.

[brand_of_disgrace]

Or if you're lucky, something will come! Or...someone! ...Hopefully you!

[a_seat_in_hell]

[He can't help but chuckle at that.]

Oh man, you're about as shameless as that old man, Jules.

[brand_of_disgrace]

H-hey, I'm not trying to GET you in bed. And don't pretend you're all virtuous and innocent like that!

[a_seat_in_hell]

Yeah, yeah. [He grins and tilts his head.]

Well..whatever happens is going to happen. I'll come through it. I always do.

[brand_of_disgrace]

That's the way to think!

[a_seat_in_hell]

It's the only way. Don't forget it, Jules.
