slieght: in lack of compassion. (The saddest part is)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-27 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
As far as witnessing the deaths, time apparently works weird here. The person I spoke with said that two of her friends arrived here with different memories from her, but swore that she hadn't been missing from those memories, despite her having been here for six months. Meaning if they hadn't noticed she was gone, then...somehow it's possible. Even if, from our perspectives, it wouldn't seem that way.

[He leans forward a little, pulling his legs up to cross them on the couch.]

How...I don't know. But with how futuristic everything is, who knows what they're capable of. They're...clearly capable of healing whatever damage our body has endured, if they really pulled us from before our deaths.

[Because he remembers a lot of his own. Not the point of, but......there was plenty of time leading up to it, even though he didn't have to wait the full amount of time for the press to drop. Aside from the poison, they'd have plenty to fix up.]

So I think we should consider the possibility that we aren't dead yet. I don't know what would happen if we bought these tickets back...but here, at least, on this station we could be alive.

I'll give you one and three, but they do say that humans need things like a reward system to give them meaning. I don't know if it'd be that unbelievable for there to be economics in the afterlife. But then again that doesn't really matter in the end. And yeah, I was really curious when I didn't see anyone else listed...

[He wanted to apologize to everyone, not just Shuichi, so he'd looked pretty early on.]

...I don't know if it's really worth investigating though. We could be alive, but like I said...what does that mean if we go back? I don't know about you, but I'm not really keen on returning just to die in the end. That's probably cowardly, but I don't care.

[Leaning back against his pillow, he sighs as well, rubbing at his neck a little.]

Wasn't even sure if I wanted to bring it up with you...but since it was obviously bugging you, I figured I may as well.

[He watches Shuichi after he's done talking, just quietly contemplating.]

...I'm...glad you feel the same way. I wouldn't want to have to watch you go back just to throw your life away, Saihara-chan.

[His voice is quiet and honest. Very earnest. He means it...even if Shuichi had chosen not to accept his apology. He wouldn't be able to take it. But that brings up something else...]

...Akamatsu-chan...I don't know if she'd be that cowardly.

[This was the other reason why he wasn't sure he wanted to share this information. If it got back to her that they could possibly be alive and both of the boys believed that...]

I don't think we should tell her.

But if we tell her, she'll definitely try to go home. To "save" everyone. She was already planning that when I talked to her before you showed up.

[He levels a serious expression at Shuichi, sitting up again.]

Even when I explained that we were dead, she didn't seem convinced. The only thing that stopped her from really pushing the point I think was that I mentioned you were still fighting. But you failed to grant her wish...I think she'd try and go back, no matter what we said. She's too set on that stupid wish of hers.

[Because she's selfish, like he told you.]

It shouldn't be hard to convince her that anyone saying they aren't dead yet is just...not willing to accept it. And it'd be polite to let these people dream that they're still alive, because some people can't handle that kind of truth.

[Just convince her that they're lying to themselves. He's sure he can do it, because he lies to himself all the time.]

And if you're worried about her trust in you, then I'll lie to her myself. I'm used to it, and I can handle it if she stops trusting what I say. But I don't want her going back either...

[....................................................wait.]
slieght: in lack of compassion. (Maki's office is warmer than mine...)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait, shouldn't he be worried about lying to her? Not just what the aftermath of said lie could be?]

Hold on...why aren't you complaining about how we should be honest and truthful? You can't seriously just...be okay with hiding it from her, except that she could find out...
slieght: in lack of compassion. (We were tigers)

[...out of telling her the truth and telling a lie, even if that truth is painful, he's choosing to lie. This weirds him out. But...at the same time...

He ducks his head a little with a noncommittal sound, doing his best to hide the heat in his cheeks he can feel. He knows they're pink!]


I'm not saying we can never, ever tell her. Right now it would just be a seriously bad idea, you know? She'd arm her proverbial weapons and go running off to try and save everyone, no matter what we said or how we felt...but if we learn something that changes things, or maybe after she moves past that or matures a little...

[Then maybe they can tell her. Maybe it would be safe.]

[He sits back up straight pretty quickly, pointing a finger at him.]

No comment on how I'm pretty immature and don't have room to talk. This is a totally different kind of maturity I'm talking about here.
slieght: in lack of compassion. (Okay I said sorry.)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You're totally thinking it though, I can tell! Not even allowed to comment on it in your head, got it?

[He means that!!]
slieght: (I'm handcuffed to the toilet. Don't ask.)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Good.

[He knows that, which is why he had to make sure your brain wasn't sitting there making comments about him!!!

With that out of the way he sits back, relaxing a little again.]


So yeah, like you were saying, for now we should keep quiet and just keep investigating. I'll still handle the actual lying part if you want me to, if she hears about it from someone else. You can say you haven't heard anything so you wouldn't know.

[Kokichi raises a brow and tilts his head a little, curiously.]

You sure? I'm used to the backlash from being caught, you know. And if she was upset with me it wouldn't be that big of a deal. You though...

[Sitting forward, he fixes him with a more serious look.]

You and Akamatsu-chan need each other, in a place like this. You shouldn't do anything to potentially screw that up. So seriously, don't be afraid to ask, if it comes to that. Seriously give it some thought.

[He's fine on his own...he's already got a square filled and some cash in his pocket. Would Kaede and Shuichi be willing to have sex with strangers to pay for themselves? Not that he wouldn't help if they needed it, of course, but...he'd only be able to provide credits. No way either of them would want to fill squares with him.]
slieght: interested in likes me back I'm going to die of surprise before I even get to make out with them. (At this rate if someone I'm actually)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...huh.

[Tucking his hands under his thighs, he tilts his head the other way, thinking that kind of reply over. He seems a little caught off guard or surprised by it, almost.]
slieght: in lack of compassion. (What I lack in compassion I make up for)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, it kind of seems like I can rely on you a little more, even outside of trials now. I dunno if it's just because you aren't balking immediately at the idea of lying to her or what, but...

[He smiles gently.]

It's kinda nice, Saihara-chan.
slieght: in lack of compassion. (Panta is the best thing. Ever.)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it's settled!

[With energy, he frees a hand and pumps a fist into the air.]

This is officially a "we lie together, we die together" agreement! "Lie or die" for short. Oo, oo, let's make a blood pact. Then we'd really be in trouble if either of us flaked out! I have a clean knife we can use!

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, but those were almost always related to trials. If not always. This isn't, and it's something he wasn't particularly fond of before.]

Nishishi~! Are you sure you want to know the answer to that? Did you already forget what I said about my card and the kind of squares I have?

[Blood play, pain play, gore...those could all use knives you know.]
slieght: in lack of compassion. (I got a standing ovation for bringing)

[personal profile] slieght 2017-11-28 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that I have it for anything like that. Actually, that was a lie, I don't have a knife at all! I may have credits to spare now, but I can't afford to spend them on something like that yet.
