12th Picture [Phone] Holy shit.

[Phone]

[Upon drinking that blasted tea, Hughes is now quite affected by the horrible, terrible raven curse shit... It's kind of ironic, considering he doesn't even really like tea--he was just trying to be nice. So much for that now. If you could only see the unpleasantly scary smile that accompanies his mouth right now when he picks up the phone

[Zevran is so taken aback that the stunned part of 'stunned silence' is almost palpable.] Is that you, Hughes?

[best_papa_evar]

Ha, ha, ha, who the fuck else would it be? Just felt like preaching a little truth while the getting was good. I had to think looong and hard about how to word it so the idiots here would get it.

[rogue_crow]

You hardly sound like yourself. [And that is putting it super mildly.] Did something happen?

[best_papa_evar]

Psht, everyone's a critic. I've never gave two shits about the idiots in this town--including you. Is it really so hard to believe? That I came to such an obvious and fulfilling conclusion by myself? That I'm not a blind idiot trying to save something that's already dead? No one's gettin' out of this place--and daaaamn, does that feel great.

[Have a horrible, dark laugh.]

[weaponsparked]

... How drunk are you, right now?

[best_papa_evar]

Drunk? Cute, but I haven't had anything since that wonderful little tea party the other day--aaah, and that's I suddenly realized! Everyone here is hopeless and deserves to rot in their shoes. You understand that, robot? Rotting? It's an interesting process, really. And to think I'm probably doing that back in my world, as we speak!

Ha, ha, it's a damn shame.

[weaponsparked]

... What are you talking about?

And yes, you've mentioned the whole "being dead" thing previously.

[best_papa_evar]

You're not very good at following basic English, are you? Use your brain--everything here is great. All these crybabies whining about going home and seeing their cute wittle families deserve to get slapped around. Just shut up and either hide in your houses or get violently killed off for my amusement, I say~♪

[resurrectinto]

[Having the same idea as Sideswipe, obviously.] Are you fucking drunk right now?

Re: voice;

[best_papa_evar]

[M-Margot ;A;]

No, just suddenly far smarter than all of the dumbasses in this town. I suddenly realized--you're all hopeless fools, all idiots who deserve what you get. Let the town rip you to shreds, I say, let them ruin you. I'll just be laughing until I piss myself in the background.

[...And a dark, hideous chuckle resonates through the phoneline.]

Re: voice;

[resurrectinto]

[...Well. That's the last person she's expected to hear that coming from. She sits there silently for a moment and has to resist the urge to just hang up quietly. The town is getting to her, finally, and this is not cool.

Instead, she takes a deep breath.]

That's real sweet of you. What the fuck is wrong with you, then?

Re: voice;

[best_papa_evar]

[There's a very hesitant pause, but the small laugh returns.]

You know what's wrong? That people like you bother me! You should go make yourself useful to this town and lock yourself in your basement. Then I wouldn't have to listen to your nasty little voice.

[glowing_science]

M-Mr. Hughes?

[This doesn't sound like him AT ALL.]

[best_papa_evar]

Yeah, what?

[glowing_science]

...are you okay?

[best_papa_evar]

You people are reaaaally fucking grating with that repeating line. I'm peachy--just peachy! In fact, I'm so glad I'm here~! Mayfield is a fantastic place to watch people crawl through.

[braided_icarus]

......

H-Hughes....

[best_papa_evar]

What?

What is it, beansprout?

[braided_icarus]

....I....I'm sorry. Nothing I ever say or do could change what happened, can bring you back, and it was all because of us....because you wanted to help us and found out too much....I'm sorry.

[For once - not raeg at the beansprout. No, this needs to be addressed, besides the fact he has the feeling something is very wrong with this right now.]

[Aurgh--m-my heart, shut up--]

Y--

You should be; it's all your faults, after all. You're the ones who killed me--
