BAD END=DEAD END - 430PM PST

[idolpro]

[ The bar is unit-colored with light unit paraphernalia, although it's all just for show. Fortunately, comfort isn't part of the unit aesthetic this time—all seats are cushioned, whether the booth seats or the bar stools, comfy and lush. Idols can sit anywhere they like, it seems.

There's alcohol available, but everything else is locked behind the wall-cabinet. . . the recipe book is also available to peruse at one's leisure.

Ah—the door opens, and a fuzzy sort of shade steps in. It looks like idols will be serving the Damned, today. . . ? ]

[flipping through the recipe book because he has even less idea.]

...even if not, they'll drink it anyway.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Heh. Then let's just make the shit that's easiest. How about the latte? Tell a couple truths about shit that makes you happy, can't be that hard.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[if only he knew what made him happy.

if only.]

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

No? Too hard?

[he laughs, but starts flipping through the recipe book again]

OK, fine. Then the...mac-chiato? One truth or secret each, and I'll dig up something to count for the milk

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

...fine. [though give him a moment to think about it. he doesn't generally hide things.]

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Valor also paces a bit, thinking about a truth/secret that fulfills the milk requirement...

along the way he kicks the alcohol cabinet for being an unhelpful waste of space by being locked. o9"

but eventually he comes up with his...truth? secret? whatever.]

...Sometimes I really miss my knives from back home. But there wouldn't be any fucking point to buying them here, it wouldn't really be Widow and Orphan, and I'd fucking know that, they'd just be shitty fucking copies that aren't even as good as the shittiest artifact in Creation. [pause] But I still kinda wish I had them back.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[just going to listen while Valor talks. makes a quiet noise of acknowledgment when he's done.]

...I have not been useful enough to either unit I have been on. Not to Taisho, and not to Bad End either.

[ hey guess who was asleep under the bar like the cat you couldn't find ]

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[soulcarve]

[ something she hears makes her
twitch

and she jerks up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes ]

...Wh—
Are you guys... talking about knives?

/4 actually

[soulcarve]

Wait—
Va-looooooor. You've liked knives better this WHOLE TIME?

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[soulcarve]

[ getting up. stompy feet. this is the WORST. ]


[ pause ]


...Oh also, Sakura-kun, why are you making stuff up? You're the one who caught your friend for us to eat in the game—did you forget? And when you train and stuff it's really fun to watch you?? And you don't get mad at me for talking at you a lot even though you like quiet stuff???

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

She's got a point. You brought us a whole fucking heart and everything.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

...That isn't something to praise.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

You don't gotta like it, but you can't say it wasn't useful.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

...Tch. Not useful enough.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Well, what would useful enough have even been in that context??

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[soulcarve]

[ turning to him next ]

—And YOU!!!
You wielded me and everything! But you like knives best?

[ she sounds. heartbroken? how could he. ]

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[holding the recipe book between them like a shield]

Look, I'm just not a fucking swords guy, okay?

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[soulcarve]

But we were so powerful.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

[Sakura knocked him out in like, 3 moves,]

I mean, I don't fucking mind swords, I just don't use them, mostly.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[don't remind him about Venti. though not like he can or will forget or forgive himself for that.]

...that isn't enough.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[soulcarve]

That doesn't make sense, though.
"That isn't enough" is the kind of thing you say when you're measuring.

[ pause ]

...You're not the kind who would hear the Song of Hell, huh, Sakura-kun.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

...no.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[soulcarve]

I mean, it's not like a song you can hear. Since you're a... I think it's called "Beasts," when you're not a Noble?

But that's okay! [ brightly ]
I'll just explain it to you.

It's the Song for loving. And you gotta pay attention now 'cause the next part is really important.

Re: MINGLE/DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[makes a quiet noise of acknowledgment. he's...listening, anyway.]
