week 4 afterparty

[ well, that was definitely A Trial.

however, oda understands that everyone must be feeling a little heavy, considering the death of someone like jughead and whatever bullshit dazai said earlier.

so, at everyone's door is a note that says the following:

If you don't want to be alone, come to the diner.

There's food.


oda himself is at the diner, although there's no food on his table, nor is he being a very good host of a party. he's just sitting alone at a table next to a window, staring out of it in deep thought. ]

[After another beat:]

So, is that a yes or a no?

Well obviously he wasn't crazy.

[Did Keith actually have a way of knowing that before breaking him out? Absolutely not. It just didn't matter.]

Either way, I wasn't going to leave him there. He was the only family I had then.

...I'm glad you were right, then. Sounds like it was pretty good timing for a breakout, too.
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (appraising)

[There's another long pause.]

I didn't actually know Shiro was going to be there. After I got the boot, I ...uh... kind of got lost in conspiracy theories. It was like some weird energy was calling me. I started looking up legends about a Blue lion and somehow that led me to a prophecy about something or someone coming to Earth the same day Shiro returned.

[He can already hear the "that's weird" in response, so he shrugs.]

...Was it part of the weird lion connection thing that you got later?

[The 'weird' is definitely in there, but she sounds curious beyond that, too.]

Must've been. But Blue chose Lance as her paladin, not me.

[There's a very faint, nostalgic smile on his face as he says that.]

Who's Lance? Another one of your friends?
marmoron: prescar (who forced him to contemplate)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
He's a paladin. Second-in-command.

[A sigh.]

Dunno about friends. Had a bit of an argument.

[And in afterthought, he adds:]

Don't want to talk about it.

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-06 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
...Okay.

[She doesn't argue, at least. Instead:]

What do you want to talk about? Or... You want to just be alone?
marmoron: by request of the icon creator, pls do not take (appraising)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-06 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
No, I.. don't mind you being here.

[There's a pause, then he looks over at her.]

I'm kinda surprised you're talking to me though.

[His tone's too mild for it to be much of an accusation, but it's a callout of sorts after the bakery incident. Either way, it's not a demand for an explanation.]

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-07 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. High praise.

[There's a hint of teasing in her voice, even if it's tired. When she speaks again, it's a bit softer.]

...I shouldn't have acted like that.
marmoron: marmoron (stepped in dog shit)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-07 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Though slight the mood break has him flustered.]

I - what do you want me to say?

[Was he socially obligated to exaggerate here or something? He'll address the more serious point in a bit.]
robitussin: (pic#12475593)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-07 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
...Nothing, I just thought it was funny.

[That sounds sincere, at least.]
marmoron: marmoron (listening)

[personal profile] marmoron 2018-11-07 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Well now that he just feels awkward, it's time to act like this never happened.]

How do you think you should have been acting?
robitussin: (pic#12531898)

[personal profile] robitussin 2018-11-07 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowns, taking a moment to work out the best way to say this.]

...I shouldn't have lost it like that. It's not like it was easy for you to talk about, either.
