Nemesis and Hurricane's Ideal World: Session 3

[idolpro]

[The sky above is a deep, unnatural crimson, filled with roiling clouds and creatures that are a sickly oil-slick black. They writhe and wriggle like something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare; they have entirely too many eyes, and entirely too many wings, and when they open their mouths, they have entirely too many teeth]

[Below them, the city of Tokyo is half-shattered; above the rooftops, mechanized suits the size of people hover in the air, darting in out of the chaos, laser blasts and explosions and wickedly sharp blades fighting tirelessly against the endless onslaught]

[Until finally, the last creature falls]

[All at once, civilians flood the streets of the city; the lights come on in all the buildings, which somehow have become whole again, safe and unharmed. A cheer goes up from the crowd. Overhead, a stunning fireworks display paints the night with light and color]

[And they all lived happily ever after]

[The end]

Yeah, see. There it was again.

Skip the I wouldn't miss part. Just try to say the words you mean after.

[The static is longer, this time. Her voice fades out to something gutteral and strange, glitching around the edges. The outline of her glitches, too, juddery shapes stark against the clean white lines of the lab]

Re: THE LAB

[thisismagrave]

....

[He turns his phone to her.]

Do that again?

For science?

Re: THE LAB

[offontherightfoot]

I have work to do.

You should leave.

Re: THE LAB

[thisismagrave]

[He gestures around them.]

Not a believer in the scientific method?

Re: THE LAB

[offontherightfoot]

For things that need to have it applied, yes.

[She turns as though to resume her work]

Re: THE LAB

[thisismagrave]

The entire world should have it applied. [Laughs.] That is the whole point of science. To understand the logic of the world itself.

Or is it you know something is wrong and that's why you don't want to be recorded?

[He doesn't need negative emotions to be a smug bitch.]

Re: THE LAB

[offontherightfoot]

[Did she hear him?]

[She hasn't even looked up. The room has grown colder, somehow, as her focus narrows to what's on the table in front of her]

Perhaps she's remembered better things she could be doing, instead of talking to you. Perhaps anythign she could be doing is better than talking to you]

Re: THE LAB

[thisismagrave]

[Maybe, but what do I care? :D :D :D]

Were you trying to talk about Hurricane?

[It is a small suspicious from Sanctuary and]

[Actually, any feelings he would have to hesitate are also gone. TIME TO RECKLESSLY THROWN STONES AT ALL THE GLASS HOUSES.]

Re: THE LAB

[offontherightfoot]

[Not a blink; not a hint of a reaction]

[If not for the Cloud Nine, the weight of those feeling would be crushing]

[She has started to glitch more heavily around the edges; the whole room has]

Re: THE LAB

[thisismagrave]

[He will keep on recording.]

[And they likely would be because he's TOO MUCH LIKE THESE CHILDREN, but right now he's just vibing.]

What are your thoughts on your son?

[Just chucking stones to see what happens.]

Re: THE LAB

[offontherightfoot]

[The static grows more pronounced, until it swallows up everything: screens and walls and mechanical wonders and Hurricane's mother along with them]

[The room fades to darkness, and you find yourself in the genkan]

[The door to the lab is missing, now]
