ahahaa homeless and looking

[pilotzero1]

...Do what you want. This won't stop me from completing my mission.

[...]

It isn't stalking, it's-- Enough of this. I have a job to do. That's a hell of a lot more than I can say about you.

[ASSHOLE.]

[ooc: Taken after the ending of the Endless Waltz manga, so he's totally Relena's bodyguard.]

As if anyone can stop you from your mission, Heero. Even the silly muns who like to play god.

[pilotzero1]

[Well look who's here.

If Duo is listening closely, he may hear a small snort from Heero.]

Playing god is well beyond her capabilities.

[deathspilot]

[As if he'd be anywhere else.

Just as Heero should be able to hear the smirk in Duo's voice.]

Yeah, well. That's generally what they like to think, you know?

Sooo... What's she trying to pull with you?

[pilotzero1]

[Heero crosses his arms over his chest and lets his eyes fall shut. There's a slight twitch in his eyebrow--barely there.]

She has every intention of...conditioning until I'm fit for the location of her choice.

[deathspilot]

... Conditioning. [Oh yeah. Duo's growling.]

That's worse than what I'm going through where I am, but probably not by much.

uwah someone else who read the EW manga *A* my favorite ending tbh

[peacecrafting]

You needn't fret so much. It's not as if your duty is particularly eager to flee.

[Her lips curve in a small smile. Despite his brusque demeanor, she knows he only means well.]

MINE TOO OMG I loved it so much *A*

[pilotzero1]

[He doesn't answer right away. After a moment, he crosses his arms and looks away from her, his back straightening.]

Regardless, I can't afford to be careless. I won't allow for any mistakes.

[Protecting her is all he has left. He doesn't know much more than that.]

sob they're so stupid around each other sometimes pardon the rustiness OTL also sorry tl;dr

[peacecrafting]

[Her smile falters a bit when he won't meet her eyes. He's still a shooting star at heart, brought down to earth by her gravity. Who is she to take a star from its place in the heavens? Who is she to have him follow her down? In her heart, she feels guilt for wanting to have him by her side. Though it hurts, she's made it clear that he can come and go as he pleases. She doesn't just want him to stay. She wants him to want to stay. Sometimes, she wonders if he's only with her as some sort of penance for the sins of his past. How does one grant the wish of a shooting star?]

Mistakes and carelessness are a consequence of youth. They help you become who you need to be.

Heero does so much mental keymashing around her lol also it's okay I'm massively rusty!

[pilotzero1]

[He certainly wants to stay. She isn't some mission that someone gave him. She isn't an objective that he was assigned to by an outside source.

She is his choice. His own mission that he gave to himself. He's not aware that she is even questioning that.]

In this case, mistakes can be fatal. It'd be a failed mission.

[Translation: If you were hurt, I'd never forgive myself.]

sob if you have plurk, feel free to PM me :)

[peacecrafting]

We're not facing life or death situations every hour of every day. It's the comfort that peace affords us while it lasts. You owe it to yourself to try and gain some sense of normality.

[To some degree, she sees herself as a burden to him, another obstacle preventing him from living a normal and happy life. As Vice Foreign Minister, she's taken the weight of the world on her shoulders. It was never her intent to have him share her worries. She's the one who should be protecting him now. All his life, he's been made to fight for the sake of others. He's the kindest person she's ever known and yet he won't permit anyone to care for him.]

[fourth_strikes_first]

You might be able to come to some kind of compromise with your mun? That always seems to work best.

[pilotzero1]

[Well, look who's here.]

An exercise in futility.

[fourth_strikes_first]

[Frowns.]

You could always give it a try. You won't know the outcome until then.

[pilotzero1]

[He scowls at his cackling mun.]

...I won't waste time on pointless attempts. You don't know her.

[Heero turns back to Quatre, arms crossed across his chest. At the very least, Quatre seems well, despite the things Duo's told him.

He makes no comment on it though.]

[fourth_strikes_first]

No, I suppose I don't. You should at least try to make the best of things if you can't deter her though. Its not all bad, being put into a game I mean. And eventually you will go home and be able to complete your mission.

[mercenaryraised]

While it might not be possible to continue your mission as planned, you might still not fail.

[Here, by the grace of asshole muns, is he.]

[pilotzero1]

[Watch Heero wince as his mun screams with joy.

Still, with all the information he's received, he does instinctively look Trowa over for injuries. Yeah, he's not used to a place like this where continuity and fourth walls are nonexistent.]

The most I can hope for right now.

...You must've gone through hell.

[He says this casually, but his eyes are sharp.]

[mercenaryraised]

[Trowa's well aware of what Heero's been told. Doesn't like it, but... Duo's a chatterbox. Heero can probably see the remnants of turmoil in green eyes, but no physical injuries.]

... I've recovered. [Mostly.]

Most do, if that helps any.

[pilotzero1]

[Cheating death isn't new to Heero. It's the way Trowa apparently died that is throwing him for a loop. Suicide missions, fine. Attaining peace through war, okay. Facing reality bending at will? Not even possible. He can't fathom it.

He's not liking how much his mun wants to test him. He's finished with all of this.

And at least Trowa seems unharmed on the surface. There's a change in him, though. Subtle, but there.]

It doesn't. But nice try.

Where were you when this happened.

[Facts. Heero needs solid facts right now. Imaginary and reality-bending bullshit isn't helping his frustrated state.]

[mercenaryraised]

[Exactly. Trowa's very mind had been shattered, rebuilt, only to be broken again. But it's mostly repaired now again. Death had only helped the repairing a little, as some memories had simply been removed.

He shrugs, just a slight shift of a shoulder. Gaze dropped away a touch before returning to focus on Heero.]

No place you'll have to worry about. It was closed down.

Another Duo--SORRY!!

[death_scythe]

Well, well...look who it is! Mister Super Soldier himself! Tell me, Buddy, is your mun just as difficult as mine?

[death_scythe]

Seriously, she couldn't make up her mind between letting me chat you up and keeping me from at least saying hi! How lame is that?

NEVER BE SORRY <3

[pilotzero1]

[...Another one? Damn this place and its lack of consistency with reality.]

Hn. Yours sounds merely indecisive rather than difficult.

[Watch as he glares daggers at his own mun.]

[death_scythe]

[Siiiiiiiigh.]

Oh, indecisiveness is only the tip of the iceberg here. This one just loooooooves to torture me. Really, I'd kill for just a simple, indecisive mun, but nope! I'm a bit S.O.L. there.

[pilotzero1]

That seems to be going around.

[He crosses his arms over his chest.]

I expect then that you're in another one of those "games" then.
