FANG 04 ❀❧ 『as you stone yourself just to make it through 'til midnight』

〖VIDEO/ACTION〗

[judging from the structure in the back, Takasugi is near the ballpit, a bloody sword gripped in both hands. no kimono, but a black jacket and tight black pants]

T'che. Alien scum. Land this disgusting craft already.

[the bloody blade is flicked clean, and the young man snarls as he glowers at a circle of non-attacking aliens, his ( Read more... )

Mister Shinsuke?

[she's been observing the chaos over the network; trying to tackle legalese pertaining to the departure of her organization's benefactor. for the most part, she's refrained from providing commentary. something about this particular drive effect didn't sit well with her and she almost has herself believing that ignoring it meant not being struck down]

Another one?

[it's riddled with annoyance and backed by a deep scowl]

Why do you all insist on using my first name? Only two people still living ever address me so.

[One eyebrow rose in confusion.]

I thought that was your last name. You said it second when you introduced yourself.

[She thought the Babelfish would have clarified such an instance. As far as she knew, it fixed naming orders with respect to the cultural preference of the bearer. To her knowledge, she had yet to commit such a faux pas. Had she really been addressing him incorrectly for the past five months?]

[dumb foreigner]

The family name is introduced first.

I see. My apologies then.

[why had he never bothered to correct her? how curious...]

Putting that aside, it's my duty to inform you that you're disturbing the peace, Mr. Takasugi. As a public servant charged with preventing conflict aboard this vessel, I'd prefer it if you weren't arrested. Do you know your location?

[not that she needed to ask. her Guide was already triangulating. he didn't know her. she didn't know him. she'd treat this like any other potentially incendiary incident and deal with it accordingly. diplomacy first.]

Peace? You're joking, right?

[more scowling, but the feed behind him clearly shows the giant ballpit, and the rest of the dazed aliens returning to moving about their business, though the boy's wild, battle-hungry eyes never stop scanning the crowd]

As a public servant, inform me of how to reach my homelands again.

[at least he's consistent about belittling her ideals; that actually makes her smile]

You can't.

[and a faint beep signals that the coordinates have successfully been triangulated]

[end feed]

[It takes her awhile to reach the location. She enters with her stun gun drawn, making certain to tread cautiously. His back's turned to her and she thinks it best not to startle him. He was, after all, armed.]

I'd advise you to turn around and put away your weapon.

[he hadn't expected to hear from her after that disconnected feed, but he recognizes the voice and had sensed the presence of another from behind him (though he deemed them weak and unnecessary to engage)]

[there's an arrogant laugh at that (not shrill, but still pitched high) as he glances over his shoulder]

Do not waste my time, woman.

[That laugh...not entirely unfamiliar but not exactly something she hasn't heard before. He's young; that's for sure. A voice still transitioning...]

Don't make me shoot you. Do you want to avoid arrest or not?

[That's a stupid way to ask a question.]

[That voice...]

[She shakes her head, keeping her gun aimed steady. No reminiscing. No.]

[Pressure's already building behind her eyes, making her head ache.]

As though I would give a damned being put behind the bars upon an Amanto rig.

[it's sharp and spat, the words fueled with all the anger he feels later in life, but with a less concise edge -- more, a sword with teeth chipped out of the precise edge]

[then is when he raises his sword to her; a human working with the aliens? she has the same foolish notions Sakamoto is beginning to stir with, he's sure; tired of watching my friends die, he says, but what he really means is I'm tired of fighting, I'm weak, I'm utterly useless]

[the boy's body stirs angrily at the simple memory, the grip on his sword tight white knuckled right up to the tsuba]

[She notes his stance and prepares to fire but the voices in her head grow louder, words blending into each other...]

[One voice now. Not the one from before. No, this one was much younger. This one was-]

[That's not like you.]

[Those that are hated must remain strong. It'd be the perfect motivation for OZ.]

[I need you to focus on the major issues.]

[And the cloud descends over her, causing her to bow her head as the pain begins to overwhelm. Despite this, she keeps a firm grip on her gun with her right hand even as her arms slacken and fall to her sides.]

[When she raises her head, her face projects nothing but anger. Pure and unadulterated.]

[She looks down at the weapon clutched in her hand, seeing a gun that's not her own.]

[This uniform... Green? No, an officer of her station was bathed in crimson. And why was her blasted hair in her face? She remembers distinctly asking her soldiers to style her tresses into the usual pair of coiled braids tied back with pink ribbon.]

[Was this a trick? They had just apprehended those Gundam engineers. Did they escape? Were they responsible for this?]

[Her eyes scope her surroundings and she spots a nearby ball pit. Alien creatures. An entertainment center on one of the colonies? Finally, her gaze focuses on the man before her wielding a sword. Did he know anything about this? Perhaps an interrogation was in order. Whether or not this was her gun, it was in her hands. She fully intended to use it. Taking aim, she barks out a demand:]

Where are we?

[That's a stupid way to ask a question. The reminiscence is repeated but it no longer has any ( ... )

[he watches the transformation right in front of his eyes, and though the woman's appearance doesn't change in the least, he feels an unexplained shift in the air]

[knowing that angry gaze that may as well have been on his own face, he's torn between the snap response of asking if she's just plain daft, or asking if she's... okay]

[he hates foreigners, yes, but at least she's not an Amanto]

An alien spaceship, or so I have been informed. Am I still under arrest?

You've been fed lies then.

[the only logical conclusion. aliens? such a ridiculous notion.]

Or is this a terrorist's trick? OZ, in all its benevolence, has done all it can to help clear the space mines around this sorry excuse for a colony. You're all a bunch of ingrates.

[they should have opened fire; diplomacy led nowhere. her gun stays steady on its target]

[his sword is an easy blockade between her and him, ready to deflect and strike, her harshness not foregone]

Look around you, woman. I expected a 'peacekeeping officer' to be more aware of her surroundings.
