[bluediligence]

They have each other.

[ Which is where true strength lies, as far as Korone is concerned. It won't give every story a happy ending. Nothing can. But it fucking matters. ]

It wasn't fair. It was cruel. It was beyond cruel.

[ A shudder runs through her. Heartbreak or fury, she doesn't know. Probably it's both, and more. ]

... Prob'ly a good thing the bastards aren't where I can get my hands on them.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

Maybe we can get a name from Macaque.

Find the guy responsible and give him a conveyor belt special.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

Ha. Maybe.

Normally I'd say they should be first in line. In this case, I'm not sure there'd be anything left for us ...

Kids get dibs. They can mop up.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

We get the sucker punch and then they can wreck shop.

... [He sighs and nuzzles her shoulder.] We should keep going.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

[ She nuzzles back. ]

Mind if I text Wash-nii real quick first? Then we can go for ...

The potted plant?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

[He nods.] Of course. Text him as you need.

[Nuzzle nuzzle nuzzle.]

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

[ She tilts her head a bit, both to give him better access and to return his affection. A quiet little rumble kicks up in her chest, pitched to reassure ...

... until it dips into a low, truly vicious growl instead. ]

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

.....um?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

[ If Donnie's ever had the impression that Korone would, in fact, kill someone with her bare hands for someone she loves?

Yeah.

That's the vibe here. ]

Wgh - [ ... Oh. The growl sputters. HOW DOES SHE TURN IT OFF?? ]

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

Wwwwwwwhy do you want to murder after talking to Wash?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

Shit, is it that obvious-?

[ Oh, there we go. Growlies stopped. ... For now. ]

Macchan's evil ice bitch is messing with Epsilon.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

It is to me.

[A pause.]

Ah.

Yes.

That explains the want for murder. [SEEMS LEGIT.]

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

[ Plops her forehead back down on his shoulder. Deep breath in ...

Slow breath out. Calms the angry buzzy bristly feelings as best she can. ]

Sorry for startling you. I didn't realise I was doing it.

[ Hhhhhhhhh. Huff. Sits back again slowly. ]

We both love Epsilon. The thought of someone hurting him again is -

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

You want to protect him.

[He squeezes her.]

Of course you're angry.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

Of course I am. But.

[ gives her wings a sharp flick of a flap ]

Gotta keep a cool head. Best I can. Best foot forward.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

[He nods.]

We'll see what we can do to help before we leave.

Plant?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

Plant.

[ On the usual three-count. ]

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[castaside]

You touch the dead plant, and pieces of it flake and crumble.

You feel yourself getting lost in someone else. That pull of the one you love which inspires you, but also tempts you to bury parts of yourself you think they would have distaste or disgust for. You wonder if this makes you a liar, or devoted, or a combination.

They're worth it, of course they are, but you find yourself burying more and inspired less as time goes on.

Is wanting to be better for someone else supposed to make you feel this neglected? This afraid? This lonely?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

....

Oh.

Hm.

[On one hand, hiding parts of yourself bad.]

[On the other hand, he may have made a nuke by now if he didn't have morality brothers.]

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

Ah.





Mm. Hm.

[ L.

Looks. Looks at Donnie. ]

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

I think this is....

What is called a slippery slope?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

Mmhm. Yup. Yeah.

[ Nnnod.

Nod, nod. ]

Did it... hit you in the outsourced morality?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

....yes.

Did it hit you in the insecurity?

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[bluediligence]

The, um.

Insecurity, identity, and the morals.

Re: Level S (sub 1) - East Door cw: immolation

[othellovonryan]

This room is terrible for us.
