part 188 double rainbows

[aphanon_meme]

Umm... hi? Not dead, relatively okay. I'm sorry to make people worry - there are days, like everyone, where I am very busy or unable to get online a lot or at all. It hasn't even been 24 hours - trust me, unless I'm gone for 5 day+ then I am okay, relatively.

I love you guys, enjoy part 188!

[certain senses...tingling...]

...Who's there?

Re: [jump down]

[maple_sickles]

[That voice... it can't be.]

[steps out of the bushes, smiling tightly]

Hello there, dear.

Re: [jump down]

Matthew.

[isn't smiling]

How is work at the meme college doing?

[fingers tighten on fire extinguisher's hose...]

[maple_sickles]

[smile becomes much chillier]

Work is fantastic, sweet. Nothing stirs the soul more than glorious labour.

Tell me.

What have you been doing with my dear boy Maine?

[he has a good idea of what you've been doing and he does NOT like it]

Re: in fatefully

[swallows once]

Glorious labor? Does that include breaking the terms of your rehabilitation?

...I've been trying to undo the DAMAGE that you've done.

[scowls]

I thought teaching was acceptable! I never touched the boy...

...!

[He notices a black band around her neck... a little device... oh no.]

Re: in fatefully

[anonymous]

He is in pain! And now-

[notices him looking at her neck]

...and now I signed up for a game to keep an eye on you only to learn it can fully break your terms of rehabilitation.

Tell me, then, Matthew. Do you intend to kill again?

[maple_sickles]

[visibly deflates... her joining the Battle Royale will mean... one of them will have to die.]

I do, yes, and that is why I signed up for this; willing, voluntary quarry. It's not murder if they signed the waiver.

[grimaces]

And now you've...

Who will watch our son if we both die?

no interesting captcha for me ;3;

[anonymous]

It is still murder! This is not right, there are participants who didn't know what this game really is.

Many innocents have died...

...

[looks up, blinking back something in her eyes]

He's in the care of your mother at the moment.

he actually hasn't /murdered ANYONE yet ;A;

[maple_sickles]

Then it's negligence on their part for not reading the fine print. It's all perfectly legal.

[This isn't okay, this isn't okay, she needs to leave]

I signed up knowing what this might mean! How could you follow me? Our son needs his mother!

I need you to keep living...

You need to get out of here, now.

She has't either/but you already knew that ;A;

[anonymous]

The children too?

What were you thinking?! You can't die here either, I need y-

...

...

You are my responsibility, Matthew.

[holds up wrist]

[slowly standing up]

I will not.

;A; Tragedia

[maple_sickles]

[stares pointedly at her]

And what if we both should die?

What then?

[starts walking toward her because if he stays still he'll be blown to bits]

I can take care of myself. It was my intention to win this...

And now I don't know what to do.

Re: ;A; Tragedia

[anonymous]

[takes one step back]

but I-I can't let you kill-stay back!

[holds up pistol with shaking hands]

...

[swallows, holds the pistol steady]

There is a plan in place. Why do you need to win, Matthew? Why did you sign up for this "game" in the first place?!

[maple_sickles]

This is my only chance, don't you see? I used to be feared. Capable. Effective.

I missed that.

[Eyes the pistol warily... she wouldn't, right? He knows he couldn't even think of it]

[raises his hands in a no-harm gesture anyway]

I need to win to remind myself that I am still the man I was.
