010.5 ♠ voice ♠ the price you pay
All right, Ken-chan~ Let's play a game! I like games. So does everyone else~ Or would you like an...auction? A bidding? Barter?
I do so hope that you know the stakes.
[He laughs. It's a laugh reminiscent of, say, a chaos god. It doesn't sound very nice - it could use a little screaming in the background.]Oh, oh, and doesn't Somarium sound a ( Read more... )

[He's had some pretty awful ideas in his time. Thing was, at the time he didn't really realize how very bad most of them were. The problems were apparent only in the implementation, or in hindsight hindsight: at the time, it genuinely had seemed like the best thing to do. This one, however? This is quite obviously, from the get-go, a truly terrible idea. The only safe thing to do is ignore it, and even that's likely to end badly for someone. Problem is he can't ignore it. Problem is, he genuinely does not have any better ideas than this. He's got to get Omi out of there--]
What do you want?

[Loki's seated in a lounge chair, and the 'berry is propped up against the opposite table. If the situation wasn't so 'grave', it would've been cheesy. He steeples his fingers.]
Go on, cutie!
Reply
[And... cutie? Ken is going to be IGNORING THIS. It does not compute with him and thus can be bushed aside - though he wouldn't go so far as to say he can do that safely. Nothing about this situation is exactly striking him as safe right now.]
What do you mean, 'game'?
Reply
[He sighs dramatically.]
Game. Any form of playing or amusement. I'm sure someone of your age would know that.
I'm bored, Ken-chan~~~
Reply
[Bored. This does not sound good... but how can he even worry about that? He closes his eyes, teeth clenched, his fingers tighten slightly about the casing of the phone. This is bad. Christ. This is... very, very bad. But as long as he's not taking it out on Omi...
[Ken sighs. It's not like he has any choice.]
What do you want me to do?
Reply
[It means that Loki's doing this for fun. That's the most dangerous kind of person, isn't it? No motive but pure entertainment.]
Play twenty questions with me.
Reply
[Oops. There goes his temper.
[No. No. Can't do this. Keep it together, have to keep it together. Ken doesn't want to be played with, but it's better it be him than Omi--than Mamoru, whoever the Hell he thinks he is now. Either way, he's his friend and, somehow, he's a kid. Ken can't let anything happen to him. He just can't...]
Why. Why do you want to, damn it?
Reply
[He just grins wider at your temper. Oh my.]
Why not? They don't call me the Trickster for nothing, cutie~
Reply
[It does not help that this just seems to be amusing the bastard. It's bad enough already without knowing that the guy clearly isn't taking him seriously at all...]
Where's Omi? Mamoru. Whatever the fuck you wanna call him--where is he?!
Reply
Mamo-chan is in good hands, Ken-chan. Except for the part where, he's, you know, drugged and unconscious and oh my, he's so cute when he's like that.
Reply
[Good hands? Ken doubts it. And cute? This guy is out of his mind! Got to get Omi out of there--]
Shut up, goddamn it! Where is he?

My apartment.

Will the prince come to the rescue, I wonder...?

Don't hurt him. I--Christ, what do you want from me? Tell me what you want, just don't you dare hurt him!
[Prince? The word makes him start, his eyes going wide. Oh, God. It's a game, something in Ken is pointing out calmly and totally rationally. It's just a game to this bastard and here you are playing right into his hands...
Ken would hesitate to describe himself in such terms. He's no hero, but like it or not he's the closest thing to it Omi has, poor kid: but it's a game, that little voice is murmuring, he's playing with you. Ken doesn't trust this man. He doesn't believe him, or doesn't want to - what reason would he have to hurt Omi? What reason would he have to care? Maybe, Ken thinks for a sudden, wild moment, he wouldn't hurt him no matter what I did. Maybe he really doesn't have Omi at all--
[Oh really, Hidaka. Wanna take the chance that you're wrong?]
Where are you?
Reply
I want you, Ken-chan. See, I want to know...how far is a human willing to go for a friend...?
[/slowclap.jpg He can guess what Ken's thinking now - this is so out of the blue, wasn't it? Did Loki even know who Omi is in the first place? But then again, if Naoya did tell Ken something about what Loki was doing...]
Suite 1712, Edennel Apartments. Come alone.
Reply
Oh, fuck you. Just... don't hurt him, for God's sake.
[Ken swallows. He closes his eyes, gripping the Dreamberry so tightly he's amazed the thing doesn't break. He wants to scream, he wants to throw the Dreamberry out the window, he wants to punch something. Preferably Loki. Hit the bastard in the face and do it hard, make him pay for every last second of this... this stupid fucking situation--
[If he has another choice in the matter, he can't seem to see it.]
Sure. Edennel Apartments. See you.
[And Ken hangs up, slumping back against the wall and staring at the Dreamberry. You're a fucking idiot, Hidaka, what are you?
[Mary mother of God. What the Hell has he just done?]

ALSO UHHH LOL Ken don't hate him too much when it turns out that Loki's lying c:
