muse has complaints about the ~SCIENCE~ Event at entranceway

[colorofthesky]

Are you serious?

[ Yes, very serious. ]

What happened to "you've suffered enough"??

[ ...terrible possibilities? ]

I don't need my 'worst fears' thrown in my face.

The food poisoning would have been better.

[ Uh, about that... ]

What do you mean that's still on the table?!

Comments

[makesmonsters]

Subjects should remain silent unless answering a question.

[ Heeey Zaaaaa~aaaaack! Guess who has no sympathy whatsoever for you! ]

[colorofthesky]

[ YOU.

Instant glare. ]

Shut up.

[makesmonsters]

Hm.

[ He makes a note on his clipboard, speaking as he writes. ]

Subject Z remains uncooperative and hostile. Further measures may be necessary to ensure future complicity...

[colorofthesky]

I'm not your subject.

[ You take one step near him, and he will use this bigass sword, okay. ]

[makesmonsters]

[ He adjusts his glasses and continues on. ]

Subject Z also exhibits persistent denial about its circumstances...

[ Yeeeah, he's not worried. Because science!

... also he's safely behind the 4th wall or something. ]

[colorofthesky]

[ ....yeah, that does it.

HAVE A FIRAGA, HOJO. ]

[makesmonsters]

[ Zack, didn't you read the bracket text? Hojo is safe.

Also the 4th wall has Reflect cast on it permanently. ]

Hm. [ Hojo watches the Firagas bounce right back. ] Subject Z expresses its displeasure and its over-abundance of energy quite clearly... Perhaps I should place a few other subjects in containment square #251462648 for testing purposes. Yes, yes... that will do quite nicely.

[ He may look all serious and science-y but Hojo is actually totally enjoying this. ]

[mentors]

Well, if it is still on the table, it must be moldy enough for even you to know not to eat it.

[...That was a terrible joke Zack and he knows. Also Hi.]

[colorofthesky]

[ ...Angeal, that was a terrible joke, and you should feel terrible.

He sighs. ]

It's not mold.

It's really bad cooking.

[mentors]

[He does not and he will not you can't make him! He gives Zack a raised eyebrow.]

That just who cooked, exactly?

[colorofthesky]

Aerith is.

[ A beat. ]

Or she's going to.

[ sob. ]

It's some 'event' where people want to experiment.

[ Science does bad things; you know that, Angeal. ]

[mentors]

That sounds like a bit like science.

[SCIENCE!]

We've never had much luck with that, have we?

[Sighs, and maybe going to ruffle Zack's hair because resons. Perfectly reasonable mentory reasons, that is.]

[colorofthesky]

Some of it is.

[ Bad cooking doesn't really count. But fear gas does!!

He makes a face at the hair-ruffling -- c'mon now, he's a grown-up!! ]

That's a rhetorical question, right?

[recitings]

Your mun is horrible.

[Cue a really disgusted face because HI. LET'S COMMISSERATE.]

Just about as horrible as mine is. I hope this won't leave you permanently damaged.

[colorofthesky]

[ A heavy sigh. ]

It won't.

[ Because he's strong and resilient. Hurray for him. ]

It's not going to be fun, though.

[recitings]

I can imagine. My own mundane had me covered in a substance that would trigger madness in me when my defenses are down.

[He frowns at that.]

As if what I went through was enough.

[colorofthesky]

[ Oh geez. :C ]

I don't understand it.

[ WHY DO MUNS DO SUCH HORRIBLE THINGS?! ]

Did you recover?

[recitings]

[Genesis shakes his head.]

Having black blood is permanent.

[colorofthesky]

So you're...

[ Damn. :C ]

There's no cure?

[awingeddarkness]

Looking 'downthread'... can't you just AVOID eating whatever's bad?

*Cloud smiles wryly.* I mean, if it doesn't even smell edible....

[colorofthesky]

See, that would work...if we were in our right minds.

[awingeddarkness]

Ouch. That really puts a damper on it.

Make sure to have some medicine on hand?

Or is it "Cloud, logic doesn't apply here, so stop suggesting things"?

[colorofthesky]

[ He sighs. ]

Logic doesn't really apply.

[ Sadly. For some reason, so little in his life makes sense. ]

Thanks, though.

[awingeddarkness]

Well, let me know if you need a breather. Or a sparring partner.

Or both. I've got several tricks up my sleeves that the "usual canon me" doesn't have.

[colorofthesky]

Sure.

[ Though he's a bit unsure now. ]

Things are different for you?
