[he'd been 'good' long enough, and it's left a bad taste in his mouth. The acid tang of failure and disappointment and restlessness. So... he is hardly surprised when he finds himself snatching mentally at a stray presence on the edge of town and drawing them to him. It was nearly an accident, really. An instinctual reaction. One that he won't be ( Read more... )

[Never a dull fucking moment from you, is there?]

What are you doing, Legato.

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 08:18:01 UTC

[...]

Tell me what to do, then.

[so willing to help! So helpful, so compliant...]

Remind him that he is making this whole ugly situation worse. I only want to be heard.

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 08:40:09 UTC

What would you have me do? Tell him to close the damn book? Tell him to agree with something he'll never actually agree with? Tell him to listen when you're making your point with the very thing that won't change his mind?

[Searching around building 5-throughout the forest near it. Nothing yet. Nothing...

Moving on to Building 6.]

You figure it out. I have faith in you.

[a very meaningful pause, here]

You're searching so systematically. Your teamwork has always impressed me.

Should I make it easier for you? I'll let you know when you're getting close...

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 08:59:24 UTC

[A frigid feeling crawls up his spine, and for a moment, he's not sure if it's stunned surprise or Legato actually manipulating him. He regains his composure, though, because he has to.

...He can sense him from here. How far did he have to be for that?

Ambushing him was little to impossible. If Vash went in, then they'd both be sensed. Nothing good would come of this. Should he lie? Tell Vash he was far away elsewhere? Tell him just what he needed to know? Guide him to that...

Maybe knock him out. Try and handle things himself.

...Is it really that easy? No, it'd never be so simple.

There has to be something...

"There's always a choice-"]

[While Wolfwood is thinking about that, Kaori will finally let out a harsh scream as the pain from the twisted nerves forces her to let down the illusions that normally cover her wrist leaves and some of her scars. In fact, one or two veins have broken, sensitive leaves mutilated and torn in some places.]

... V-... Vash...? [Her voice is weak, but she could have sworn it was his voice she's heard earlier.]

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 09:36:28 UTC

All right-all right!

Stop torturing her, goddammit. I'll tell him what to do, so just stop!

[Voice | Filtered] endthem January 11 2011, 09:42:33 UTC

[he lets any last traces of that false feeling leach out of his voice, leaving nothing]

I suggest you stop wasting both of our time on words, and do what you know you need to.

Re: [Voice | Filtered] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 12:33:07 UTC

[And in a little while, this plays for you, through Wolfwood's opened, voice-recording.]

[Voice | Filtered] endthem January 11 2011, 22:29:57 UTC

[...well done, Wolfwood. Well done.]

[Hey Wolfwood! Vash knows what he's doing! He wants to fill you in anyway - so!] Wolfwood, he has my friend Kaori! I can't find them!

Re: [Voice/Private] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 07:27:21 UTC

Kaori? [That's a familiar name... Kaori, Kaori... Gah, his memory is the shittiest.] All right, then. The best we can do for right now is look around...

[But damn, neither of them could really stand up to Legato, could they?

...Perhaps if there are enough of them, he wouldn't have the strength to hold onto Kaori and she could escape. This was their problem, not hers. There's the distinct sound of a jacket being slipped back on.]

How much talking did you do with him?

[Voice/Private] goldenglasses January 11 2011, 07:30:44 UTC

I'm still talking to him, but I can't figure out where he is! He has the camera blocked! I'm checking the forest... it's big... so I figured he'd try to hide there. [Yeah, he knows this is probably a hopeless search.]

Re: [Voice/Private] not_a_bluesbro January 11 2011, 07:34:59 UTC

[He growls lowly, gripping the Punisher with extra force.]

I wouldn't even know where to look. But regardless, if you keep talking him him, he'll hurt her, and if you stop talking to him, he'll hurt her.

[He doesn't want to suggest it, but it seems like a lose-lose situation.

What'll you do, Vash, knowing that?]

Re: [Voice/Private] goldenglasses January 11 2011, 07:38:04 UTC

[...]

I'm going to find her.
