The Last Supper - AlcheME!

[idolpro]

[ The elevator lets you out into a private room: from the decor, it is doubtlessly an enclave of the restaurant you saw earlier on screen.

Your phones have filled with a rather sizable rule list. ]

[ah fuck that's right

tilts his head staring for a minute, then laughs]

Neeheehe! X is so observant! Yeah, I'll probably go down real easy. But it doesn't really matter here. Even someone like you is like flimsy paper!

[liftoft]

What the hell does that mean, it doesn't matter? It matters to me.

[neigh_sayer]

. . .X that's sweet, but we barely just met. As your senior older brother, it's my job to make the tough calls. You just sit back and try not to die, 'kay?

[liftoft]

What does that have to do with anything. Wasn't it you who told me the first thing I had to understand was that I'm part of this family now? That means you're my family now, asshole. I'm not just gonna cheerfully let you die!

[neigh_sayer]

Wow, you're such a good listener, I'm surprised. Well, I could cry on your shoulder instead if you prefer.

--oh but wait, I can't reach it. Sorry! Cheerful death is all I can do right now.

[liftoft]

[ Huffs, and does in fact crouch down. Though he then just transitions to sitting, so. Now he's the shortest one WHAT NOW ]

Listen... I might hate it, but I ain't actually gonna fight you on this, not right now. I know I don't got enough of the picture to not maybe be makin' things worse.

But you can't make me act like I'm okay with it, and you don't gotta act like it either.

[neigh_sayer]

. . .

[????????

steps. back from him]

I'm not acting like anything. It's just the way it is. It'd be pretty irresponsible of me to just let all of you die, after all.

[liftoft]

Nobody wants to die by monster attack, I know that much. I guess there's no way out of this without all of us gettin' hurt, though. Either we get hurt by somebody else, or we get hurt 'cause you get taken out.

[neigh_sayer]

Well I've never been killed by a monster as far as I know. It's a once in a life time experience, so I'm pretty excited.

You'll be fiiine. And I'll come right back. Didja forget about that?

[liftoft]

You gotta know that doesn't really make it better.

[neigh_sayer]

And I don't see how acting scared and crying will make this any better either.

[liftoft]

Maybe it won't. There's gotta be a middle ground though, where I can think it's garbage that you gotta die.

[neigh_sayer]

You can think what you want, X.

[HUFFS one moment while he oumas it up and then just, sits down.]

[liftoft]

Well, I was gonna anyway.

[ Grins at him, though it's a little bit, you know, "this really sucks" kind of a grin.

And then reaches over to lightly ruffle his hair ]

Hey, thanks for hearin' me out when I'm the new guy.

[neigh_sayer]

[BRISTLES SLIGHTLY]

. . .But of course! It's no fun if you guys get stomped all over. That's what I wanted you all to pick, not just me. I still would have preferred abstaining, but it is what it is.

[liftoft]

[ ...draws his hand back, folding them both in his lap ]

Next time, maybe.

[neigh_sayer]

[mmmmmm DOUBTFUL]
