It's not like you didn't jump into two overlapping barriers to save her. It's not like you befriended her crazed, eldritchian ex-girlfriend to find the fragments of her shattered psyche in a twisted, labyrinthine map of her past, haunted by ghosts and demons and cackling phantasms.

It's not like you died trying to put her back together.

Sure, you were brought back, but only when Malal intervened. And even then, it meant your best friend offering her own life up as a sacrifice. Making you owe her a debt you're sure you will never be able to repay, no matter what you do.

You're not asking for much. You're not asking for a happy ending, even. You're not that stupid, to think that there's something powerful enough to assure you of that.

You just want her to be okay. To stop being tortured by the things she has to deal with in order to carry the burden she'd been forced into carrying.

But if you can't even have that...you're not too sure you can stand the idea of her suffering like this any longer.

Even if everyone else seems more than okay to stand by and idly watch.

[1/2]

>>39688475

Ten minutes. Ten minutes is how long it takes for you to storm out of your temporary sleeping quarters, interrogating a panicked Kumatora about the state your sempai is in along the way to her Silent Room - before you're suddenly redirected to the Incubator's Office, to see Kyuubey on the double. You almost - ALMOST - defied that, if it weren't for the fact that you didn't want to cause trouble for your sempai. Not in the delicate situation she's in. Not like this.

Not yet, anyway.

Questioning your kohai on the way to the Incubator's Office didn't really yield much information - all she knew was that she was on duty to watch the cameras recording the activity inside Chiaki's Silent Room. She'd been about to get up and be relieved by Rea Ashford for the morning when suddenly all the feeds went completely black, at the same time the alarms set to trigger upon the detection of Witch energy went off.

"And they're all working fine, that's the scary part," Kumatora had said as the two of you finally stood in front of the doors leading to Kyuubey's Office. "The cameras, I mean, Hanegawa-sempai. All of them are working perfectly. But all they're seeing is black. Completely black. Nothing is showing up, no matter what we try - night vision, infrared, even echolocation."

And for the audio? "Just static. No screaming, no crying, no laughing. Just static."

Wonderful. Just...wonderful.

Please be okay, sempai.

Please be okay.

>But if you can't even have that...you're not too sure you can stand the idea of her suffering like this any longer.
Ah, time for a Good Ol' Yeller.

>>39688490

The doors slide open, and slam closed the moment you step over the threshold. You try not to be too disturbed at the sound of various locks automatically clicking into place behind you.

The room is...well, it's deserted. Deserted except for Kyuubey himself, watching over his array of monitors, each one displaying a black screen. The faint hum of static droning from a pair of headphones placed hanging from his narrow shoulders. Even from here, even with your relative inexperience with his kind - you never really saw much of Jyuubey during your time in the Tenth, and when you did it was during curt, abrupt meetings that had you being forced to look down at your feet in respectful submission - you could sense how tired he was, the fatigue coming off of him in palpable waves. And as he turns towards you at your approach - you could just make out the tiny eyebags underneath those perfectly-round, ruby-red orbs that was his eyes.

Well, at least you're not the only one who feels like shit around here, you think.

"Ah, Hanegawa. I apologize for the abrupt morning call, but you did tell me to wake you up in case a development arose in Matsuda's situation." He nods at Kumatora. "Ishikawa, thank you for bringing Hanegawa here. Consider yourself relieved. Get some rest, you may attend to your duties in the afternoon."

The black-haired Eversor blinks at Kyuubey, then at you, before shaking her head. "Begging your pardon, sir, but I'd like to stay all the same." She pauses for a moment, as if making a decision right then and there. "The Warmaster needs us. I'll sleep when I'm too tired to be of any use."

Kyuubey blinks, before chuckling. "And here I was thinking how lamentable it was that only Matsuda's indifference with wetwork has rubbed off on you, Ishikawa. Very well, you can stay for a bit longer. I'll notify the acting Warmaster to transfer your duties to someone else for the meantime."

>>39688508

Kumatora salutes Kyuubey at this, which the white furry creature acknowledges with another nod. He then turns towards you, which you take as a sign for you to speak.

Considering that Girl A and Murderface were actually better in terms of following the plan that would have resulted in salvation for all and defeating TTO, and that Chiaki barreled straight into the worst case scenario, the only thing he did wrong was not wiping the Matsuda personality earlier before it could fuck up everything.

>>39688765
Would exposition really have helped?
Besides the chances that Faust or TTO would overhear the plan and therefore work to stop it, since they randomly watch and listen over Chiaki's shoulder, Ahriman would still have offered to show "the truth, that Malal and the others have been hiding" and asked for Chiaki's Soulgem.
Some players, probably enough, would have still taken Ahriman up on her offer because they think Malal can't be trusted, or resent any manipulation by someone.

>>39688835
No, cake is the brain tissue of the cake whale.

It's quite obvious what's happening based on Decu's tweets. Chiaki is rewriting the universe to give everyone a nice pair of tits.

>>39688873
Malal and other Celuxus kept Faust and TTO away, remember? She 100% could have told us what to do, or had someone OTHER than pinky tell us that getting the golden weapons was high priority instead of "Keys to Cthulu" that we thought they were.

Hell, QB could have just fucking ordered us to prioritize searching for them.

Whatever, we're here, we're Queer, we're kinda focused on the rear, and we're going to fuck up fast and hard enough that hopefully we wrap back around to everything working out.

>>39688921
Malal did keep Faust away, but that was only when she was alive, and there was only one Culexus left by the time we took control.
And with the way we played Yuma, how could Malal trust her to do the right thing when she couldn't even be trusted to follow simple orders?

I remember QB telling us to acquire Golden Weapons when we brought the Golden Desert Eagle to him, but if he were to prioritize it, then it would just invite the other Officios to step up their own efforts to hoard them.
Also even if he did prioritize the collection of the Golden Weapons, the players, and Chiaki, would have still wanted to know more about her origins and the final goal for collecting the Golden Weapons, questions he couldn't answer without fear that Faust or TTO would overhear.

>>39689077
Misaka was also telling us to get the Golden Weapons, when she was in her trance, so that our shield could be repaired.

Pretty much everyone was telling us to get all the Golden Weapons, to varying degrees.
So QB telling us to get the Golden Weapons would only have resulted in us asking "Why?" and thinking he has an agenda (which would have been right) and therefore leading us to try to cock it up somehow.

And Faust finding out what the Golden Weapons were really for would have messed up the entire plan, given how much Godoka had to manipulate Faust into thinking it was her own idea and that it was a good one.

>>39690481
Decu ends the thread because it's like 4 or 5 AM where he lives and he's falling asleep by the time he posts like four times, not because it's falling off the baord.

>>39690481
It doesn't work like that. There's usually 25-100 posts or so after the quest ends, so I doubt Decu's decision to end the threads have anything to do with the post limit.

What's happening to your sempai? You ask this as calmly and as professionally as you can, even if your first instinct is to grab the furry little bastard and shake him down for everything he's got. He looks miserable enough already anyway - and you doubt that would help anyone, much less your sempai trapped down there in the dark.

"Ishikawa should have briefed you about the situation on your way up here," Kyuubey replies after pulling off the headphones hooked around his neck with a shaky paw - a tremor that you couldn't help but catch, even with your own sleep-deprived sluggishness. "And what little she told you is the pitiful sum of all we know about the situation." He nods towards his array of blank monitors - or, at least they looked blank, until you see the small white lettering blinking at the bottom of each screen: CAMERA 1, CAMERA 2, all the way up to CAMERA 8.

"Earlier this morning - approximately 3 AM - something triggered all the alarms inside Silent Room Regalia. Each alarm, as you're fully aware, is set to go off when a dangerous surge in Witch energy is detected. And approximately one second after the alarms themselves were set off, all visual feed from the cameras were reduced to this, and the audio..." The Incubator gestures towards his headphones. "Static. Just static."

He reaches down with a paw to tap at his keyboard. Each screen changing from infinite, depthless black to infinite, depthless green. Then red. Then purple.

"Night vision. Thermal vision. Echolocation. We've tried every visual filter available to us to try and penetrate whatever's obstructing the cameras, to no avail. And we've checked dozens of times - there is nothing wrong with the surveillance cameras. If there were, it's highly unlikely that all of them would break down at once, as not only are they hooked up to separate feeds and networks, but they're also regularly maintained."

[1/2]

>>39690508
Yeah, the threads usually end when Decu is too tired to continue and is about to pass out.
The only thread that I recall that this wasn't the case for was when there was a MASSIVE shitstorm over Decu miscounting votes for bringing coobs into the barrier.

>>39690543

Kyuubey shakes his head here, ears swaying in the motion. "Whatever's occluding Matsuda from our sight, it's not something on our end."

Then...then what? If the alarms detected an influx of Witch Energy, then...

No. You can't say it. You can't bring yourself to. Even if the very same thing happened back then, in another Silent Room, back at Siberia.

Kyuubey seems to catch on despite this. "No. This doesn't look like a Barrier Event. If it is, then Regalia would have gone on emergency lockdown, with the occupant inside bombarded with enough antimagic to put this entire building out of power. As it is, it's only on temporary lockdown because I engaged it myself earlier, right after Ishikawa alerted me to what happened."

Alright. Okay. So it's not that, then. That's...that's less worrying. Still not the good news you were hoping for, but not the bad news you were dreading, either.

But she's there, right? Chiaki IS there? More importantly, is she still alive?

The Incubator nods. "Regalia still detects her as its sole occupant, yes. Her vital signs are stable, if a bit erratic a times. A few spikes here and there in her heart rate, but nothing alarming."

Good. That's...good. Alright. So it's just this weird...darkness thing that's got everyone spooked, then. That and the lack of audio.

Kyuubey is silent for a moment, before nodding once more - but more slowly, this time, as if the gesture itself had cost him dearly to make. "I...would be hesitant to say so, if only to avoid making light of something as serious as Matsuda's current state, but...yes, I would say that this mysterious darkness is the main issue, here. That said, I am treating this situation with the same kind of urgency and priority as I would Matsuda suddenly taking a turn for the worse. As such, she is confined indefinitely inside Silent Room Regalia, under heavy guard - or at least, until we figure out just what's going on, and then resolve it."

[2/3]

>>39690568

You shake your head here, your eyes narrowing at Kyuubey. How the hell is that different from how Chiaki is now, huh? Isn't she already being subjected to those 'precautionary measures'? You saw the multicolored squad of Eversors stationed outside the Silent Room. You saw just how absurdly thick the doors were - almost six feet of solid steel - trapping your sempai inside that cold and lonely room, all by herself. She's already a prisoner, how much more of one can Kyuubey make her?

"Hanegawa." Kyuubey sighs in weary, tired tones - and you couldn't help but almost feel guilty at your tirade.

Almost.

"It seems that Matsuda's rubbing off on you as well. At least, the part of her that absolutely despises authority, no matter what." The Incubator lets out a strange sound - and it takes you a moment to realize that he actually chuckled. "But I understand where you're coming from. It must seem excessive that I'm confining my Warmaster to the most well-equipped Silent Room this Officio has, for what seems like a minor mutation. Not only that, I've stationed an entire squad of Eversors to stand guard. But rest assured, Hanegawa - I do not do things lightly. I rarely do things without purpose or reason. And in this, in what I did...there is one. A very good one."

...And what is it? What's the reason?

Kyuubey looks at you for a long, silent moment, before shaking his head. "I can't say. Not right now, at least. But I will, in time."

Hnh. Well, that's fine. You already have an inkling of why, anyway. But you're not going to share if he isn't.

How do you respond?

No, I don't know about that, to tell the truth. If you can explain, please? Also, this thread continues until Decu stop

>>39691231
After so many posts are made in a thread, it stops automatically bumping back to the first page and will eventually fall off of page 10. In a lot of threads this might be a problem if people are too active, but Decu ends threads when he goes to sleep anyway so there's very, very rarely a crunch.

>>39691231
From the FAQ

>Why won't my thread bump?

>All threads have a set bump limit (varies board to board). When this limit is reached, a thread will no longer "bump" to the top of the board, causing the thread to descend through the pages until it is marked for deletion and pruned. This method of post-limiting, while sometimes inconvenient, assures that content is kept fresh on the boards.

>>39691276
>>39691386
Ok. Thanks for your time

>>39691465
Bump limit for /tg/ is 300 posts, for the record, and we're at around 190. MGNQ is usually fairly active until it falls off the board, though, and Decu is usually long done posting by then.

Fine. That's...that's fine. Everything he said and he's not willing to say -- that's fine. He's an Incubator, and you're just a rank-and-file Callidus when all's said and done, Warmaster's aide notwithstanding. There may be stuff that's plainly out of your pay grade to know or ask about. Hell, Kyuubey probably's breaching protocol right here and now, by letting you in here and telling you all these things. And you appreciate that. If he has a way to fix the situation, you can probably be sure that he'll do whatever it takes for it to be carried out, without you getting on his ass about it.

Just...you wish he wasn't as evasive as he usually is.

But yeah. That's fine.

You just want to know how you can help, that's all.

You want to know how you can help your sempai.

Kyuubey glances at the darkness staring out at the both of you from the eight screens of his monitor array, before turning back to you, a sigh of what sounds like relief leaving his lips. "Now there's a trait I wouldn't mind Matsuda getting from you, Hanegawa." He shakes his head. "As of the moment, I have individuals seeking persons of interest that would be able to provide assistance or information about Matsuda's situation. Trusted allies in other Officios, those who owe me debts to guarantee their loyalty and discretion of this matter. I also have the Betrayer preparing to make her way her in order to share her input, although it must be said that I'd already asked her to come here even before this...event."

He pauses for a moment, looking at the completely-darkened screens in front of him once more. "Hanegawa, if you truly wish to help, then I want you to make sure that everyone feels that nothing is awry. Yes, Matsuda may be a complicated situation right now, but that doesn't mean we lose ourselves to panic or uncertainty. Nor should we allow those in our charge to feel as if everything is now balancing on a razor's edge, right at the precipice."

[1/2]

>>39692145

The Incubator lets out a sigh, before turning back to you. "Go about your duties, Hanegawa. Perform them with the same eagerness and gusto that Karasawa Enishi reported that you were gushing with when you first took up the role of Instructor for my Callidus rank. Do not let anyone have time or reason to suspect that something's wrong."

Wait. Is that...did you hear him right? In other words, he just wants you to act normal? Pretend that everything's okay until whoever Kyuubey's having interrogated coughs up the answers needed to fix Chiaki, if there are any at all?

Is that it?

"More or less, yes." Kyuubey nods. "Things may seem dire, but we shouldn't let this affect our day to day, Hanegawa. If only for keeping up appearances, we must ensure that no one has any right to look at us with suspicion. So go about your duties without allowing yourself to appear as concerned and distracted as you no doubt obviously are." It's here that he smirks - or at least, he looks like he's smirking, even if you're sure he doesn't really do facial expressions all that much. "I am not completely blind to what happens in my Officio after all - most certainly not with my Warmaster and her aide."

How do you react?

[]Alright. Can I at least visit her from time to time?
[]No. That's not enough. You're not doing enough. This is Chiaki we're talking about. Do more than just asking other people shit, you mutant cat bastard.

I wasn't so much saying getting out of QB's office, but when she gets to the silent room.

You nod at Kyuubey's suggestion. You don't...you don't really like it, but what he says makes sense. You can't put into words just how much you want to haul off and punch the little bastard off his desk, but you also can't help but hear the logic in his words. If someone like Kyuubey's spooked, then what about the rest of the Officio when they find out? Not to mention the inherent...cut-throat nature of the other Officios.

Sure, you've heard about how each Incubator are brothers or something, and they are siblings of a sort - but that kind of familial unity isn't usually emulated by the Officios they lead. That's why Magical Girl casualties in an operation happen. That's how bloodthirsty murderers like Kharn get their reputation. If anybody else found out about what happened to Chiaki, well...you don't even want to think about it, really.

So, yeah. You don't like it, but you'll go along with Kyuubey for now. Just smile and wave and pretend nothing's wrong.

For Chiaki. Just for her.

...Can you at least visit her, though? From time to time, at least. You ask this just as Kyuubey turns back to his array of monitors, his perfectly-round crimson eyes gazing up at the screens as he cycles through the visual filters again, before pressing one of the headphones' speakers against his ear. Nothing but darkness. Nothing but static.

"You are free to visit her, of course." The Incubator nods. "I've already notified Heartcatch Squad of the possibility of you visiting Matsuda personally. However, I do have to remind you that she is not allowed to leave the Silent Room, nor is anyone else allowed to enter unless authorized. And any unauthorized behavior is going to be punished severely, to the maximum extent possible of the laws set by this Officio. Is that understood, Hanegawa?"

Isn't...isn't that a bit excessive--

"Is that understood, Hanegawa?" Kyuubey asks again, now looking at you this time.

...Yeah. Yeah, okay. You understand.

"Very well." Kyuubey nods and goes back to his monitors. "Please give Matsuda my regards when you see her."

You don't even bother with the salute. You turn on your heel and walk away, making a beeline direct for the exit.. Acknowledging Kumatora's whispered farewell with a nod and a smile of your own - a smile you didn't even feel. You just wanted to get out of there before you said anything that you'd regret afterwards.

Besides, Kyuubey was trying to fix things, as irritating as he was. It's just...it feels like he has an agenda of his own. Like he's not trying hard enough. That no matter what happens to Chiaki, he's still going to benefit from it somehow.

Little mutant bastard cat. No wonder your sempai hates him so much.

---APARTMENT 666, NINTH OFFICIO HOUSING FACILITY – SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE WARMASTER’S IMPRISONMENT---

The distant scent of lime and papaya hung in the air like a gentle fog. I could feel her hands – small and slender, soft and gentle – grazing across my skin, over the half-assed bandage job I’d done, over fresh scars and a few old ones, neatly-manicured fingernails tracing across each with a hypnotic sort of expertise. The gauze was matted against my skin, and it stuck uncomfortably as she unwound it – my whole right arm and a chunk of the left, a makeshift packing job around my midsection, and down a leg.

Jade Nakajima had the patience and grace of someone who’d done this thousands of times already – sometimes for me, sometimes for Amber. Usually for Nico, back when they worked together. Guess she was a Venenum for the Seventh, though you’d never guess she was a magical girl at all looking at her.

…Felt good to get the burns aired out, even if it stung. I could change the shape of the arm, imagine it was something else, but when it snapped back to normal, it still hurt like hell. Didn’t get better when she was cleaning it, but for the sake of not making shit weird, I did my best to sleep through most of it.

You can sleep through a lot of shit if you practice enough.

…Well, if I slept through it too hard, I wouldn’t be talking about it. Probably wouldn’t tell her, but it felt nice being pampered a little without…y’know. Without any implications. If she saw the little smile on my face, she didn’t say anything.

…Shit! Yeah, she saw it. And rather than say something, all she did was tighten the new bandages on my fucking arm harder. My eyes snapped open and I stared up at her, and she gave me the tiniest, shittiest little smirk. ...If nothing else, it was a lot cuter than anything Nakajima…the other Nakajima…usually managed.

The bandages – the ones Jade used – were unique. It was something she’d learned to put together when she was with Nicole, a sort of…extension of her magic, I guess. Gauze carefully bathed in a poultice of clean water and blood. Hers, not just any dumbfuck’s. That was her thing. Bodily fluids. Some shit about energy transfer, usual healing crap. Not really my field.

…She could kiss a cut and make it better if she set her mind to it. Never did. Didn’t like people enough for that, she’d rather bleed than get that close to them. Didn’t really blame her.

“That’s the worst of it,” she murmured in her usual airy, disinterested tone. “Do you feel any better?”

“I can’t feel my hand.”

“That means it’s working.” Moments like this reminded me that Jade was nobody’s damn nurse. …Probably learned it from Nicole, that she couldn’t afford to take shit from her patients.

I pushed myself to my feet, wobbling a little. Took a second of clenching and unclenching my fist to loosen the bandages up and get my blood flowing again. A second later, Jade thrust an ice-cold juice box into my hand. …I was hoping it would be like, apple juice or something, but judging by the smell and the fat little bat on the front…

“Finish the whole thing.” Her eyes met mine for a second. …Couldn’t tell what she was thinking, but it might have been worry. …Or maybe I’m just that lonely.

...

…I need a girlfriend, Christ.

“Wendy. Finish the-“

“-whole thing, yeah.” She smiled and patted me on the head, and…can’t say I hated that.

“You’ll be fine in a few days as long as you don’t push yourself too hard. Which I’m certain you won’t.” She turned to head back out to the living room, and I tried to get a good look at her ass through her-

Alright, get a fucking grip, Cooldown. This is pathetic.

...It took a little courage to test out the juice box. Didn’t exactly love it – this wasn’t my first fresh blood rodeo, though, and it was a little refreshing. Coppery and syrupy, and it tingled on my tongue from what I assumed was all the magic or…I don’t know, maybe that’s how maids tasted. Or she mixed painkillers in. Like, really good painkillers.

…That’d be nice. Just blank out for the day, catch up on sleep. Nobody could walk out of Wonderland without needing to pass out for a few days. Not even me. Maybe especially not me.

Dunno how long I was out before Jade was shaking me awake again. Thought she was room service for a minute, she might have slapped me. …When I came to, she told me someone was asking for me at the door. It was about the last person I expected.

“Can…can I come in?” Green – what’s-her-DDs, Midori whatever – was standing at the door, shuffling her feet, squeezed into bike shorts that were a little too small for her and a hoodie that she probably thought made her look flatter. It didn’t.

I’d like to say I slammed the door in her fucking face. I almost did. I wanted to. …I don’t know. I was just…tired. Maybe I wanted someone to talk to that might talk back a little. Jade was cool and having a maid around was kinda hot, but she wasn’t exactly chatty.

…Maybe I just figured talking with Green would let me figure out Kong’s deal faster than trying to talk to Kong would.

I let her in without a word, motioned her back to my room – I knew better to try and kick Jade out when her weird samurai tokusatsu show was on. She didn’t seem all that thrilled about it, but she warmed up a little when I offered her some brownies.

(Good ones were on the bottom shelf of the fridge. She didn’t get those. Those were for me. And Jade. And a weekend where we didn’t need to do anything.)

It took her a long time and about three brownies to get to the fucking point, but I dunno, I didn’t mind that much. She had kind of a cute look to her, not that I was checking her out exactly – nibbled on her lip a little when she was thinking about what to say, kept fussing with her hair. Seemed like she didn’t get out much more than Annie did – had to be foreign, or maybe half or something. Her skin was lighter than mine, and her eyes…

Actually, she kinda reminded me of Ol’ Batshit, but instead of scary she was just, you know…awkward.

“…I want to know what happened on Sempai’s mission.” Rookie spat it out eventually, quiet and even. My fingernails dug into my palms as I resisted the urge to snap at her about how I didn’t fuck her stupid girlfriend.

“I didn’t fuck your stupid girlfriend, Green.” ...Never been good at resisting urges. She gave me a sharp look – surprisingly sharp, on a face like hers – and bit back her retort.

“You’ve got some fucking chip on your shoulder, but I’ve been trying to back off. Alright? She still grabs my ass and shit, it’s hard. It’s like she can’t recognize me without feeling me up.” …That wasn’t fair, and it’d probably get her in trouble later. I didn’t really care. I was about to continue when Green cut me off.

“I trust Sempai…I don’t think she’d do that to me.” Her voice was even and stern, but those big, red eyes bored into me like a fucking laser. “I just want to know what happened to her. How she ended up…like that.”

“With big fucking skeleton wings powered by the screaming souls of the damned.”

“What!?” She looked mortified, and I couldn’t help but smirk. Yeah, she was that kind of person…too pure for all this bullshit. Or maybe just too…green.

Heh heh.

“Your girlfriend’s retarded. Like, serious brain problems. So we’re fighting through asstons of fucking demons – like real honest to shit demons, not…you know. Not like the kind you see on TV, or the kind you dream up in the middle of the night. Shit’s fucked in the special way Wond…the Akashic Realm fucks shit.”

…Already looked like I lost her.

“…It’s basically like…Double Hell. It’s where common sense and all the good in the world go to die.” Dug a cigarette out and lit it. She seemed kinda…into that, almost more than what I was saying, just stared at me while I lit the damn cigarette. Maybe she was a pyro. …Or just afraid of fire. She edged away a second later.

“Don’t try to imagine it, just like…There’s a lot of the fuckers. We left Sakura behind to deal with Red Bitch-“

+After you got punked.+ An unwelcome piece of imaginary shit chimed in while I was trying to explain.

“Shut the fuck up, Nico.” Green screwed up her face and I winced as I realized I said it out loud.

“I didn’t…say anything…? And that’s not-“

“You wanna hear this or not?” I took a long drag on my cigarette and hunted for my place again.

“Arright, so we sent Mickey back after her. It was just me, Miss Tomoe, and…Matsuda. We pick up on What’s-Her-Stick and we confront her, and the first two things Matsuda tries to do are fucking…chat with her and hand her soul gem over.”

“…You’re lying.” She scowled at me, and I growled back.

“Fuck off. Why would I lie about how fucking stupid your girlfriend is? Does she not do completely pants-on-head retarded shit around you? Because she has brain problems with a capital fucking handicap space.”

…That one went over her head, but she settled into a low frown.

“So she hands her soul gem over and…like…explodes into being Satan.”

She frowned harder.

“...You know. The Shieldmaiden. Harbinger of the apocalypse. Celestial rapist. The…Nemesis of the Golden Land or…something like that. Christ, I know you guys have church pamphlets in the lobby, did you seriously never read one? This is basic shit.” I didn’t read the pamphlets either. I was pretty sure Annie made half of her sermons up on the spot anyway.

…Yeah, I wasn’t winning her over with this.

“Look, anyway, she went all batshit, suplexed what’s-her-face into the ground and it was fucking awesome, we got the bitch stick, something something power of shitty J-pop, and we left. And then that Culexus died, and your Incubator started shitting and crying everywhere and shoved Matsuda into lockup.”

A minute passed before she offered anything at all.

“You’re…not good at reports, huh…”

“You want a report, ask Mickey. The fuck are you even here? I hate you. You come here just to eat my brownies or something?” …Didn’t hate her that much. She smelled pretty nice. Kiwi shampoo I think, something kinda familiar, but I couldn’t really place it.

This time it seemed like she actually got the joke – her expression softened a little.

“Well…Everyone else is injured, busy, or Sempai. You don’t seem to really do anything, so I figured you’d be free.” She reached for another brownie. I put my cigarette out on it an inch from her fingers before I took it for myself. Yeah, fuck you, Green.

“I do the paperwork Miss Tomoe doesn’t have time for and Matsuda doesn’t fucking bother with. …Least, that’s what it’s turning into.” She took a different brownie instead, but I felt like I won a moral victory.

“You..? Paperwork? …Wait, you’re really Tomoe-san’s assistant?” Her eyes widened as she popped a hunk of brownie into her mouth. I swallowed mine.

“Fuck did you think?”

“…Well, I thought you two were effing.”

…Effing.

“Effing?”

“…Fucking.” Green corrected herself with an irritated little scowl. …Surprisingly cute. “I thought you two were kind of a thing. Like, pet play…or something. After the meeting-“

“She was worried I’d get carried away and hurt someone. Someone that pissed me off. Like you.”

She fidgeted a little, staring down at her lap.

“…I’m not sorry.”

“…Hey. Lemme ask you something. …She even give a shit? Was she even mad?” I wasn’t gonna like the answer, but somehow we’d gotten over to this.

>>39693747

“…We talked about it.” Green was a shitty liar. “Later,” she added. “A lot happened that day, so…”

“Yeah. Sure. I bet she spanked you and then it was all okay, right?”

“…S…something like that.” Her cheeks flushed a little, and I felt my knife squeeze into my hand. I could kill her. I could kill her right here, ditch the body. Wouldn’t be hard to pin it on some mindfucked remnants of staffbitch’s followers.

…I didn’t.

…Bros before hos. Matsuda and I were…it was complicated, yeah. But I wasn’t some stupid crazy slut in some cartoon that’d just knife someone for being inconvenient. We were getting along okay, and that was…enough…for now.

I followed her gaze, figured she must have seen my knife. I wasn’t really hiding it. Glanced down at her hands and caught a glimpse of steel between her fingers, too– butterfly knife, maybe, or a switchblade. Probably a switchblade, carefully covered with one hand while she fidgeted …Wasn’t as shitty a liar as I thought, if she could keep that expression up while she pulled that out of her hoodie.

…Nice thighs, too.

“…You need anything else?” I pushed myself to my feet and shoved the rest of my brownie into my mouth, letting my knife dissolve back into the sea of my subconscious or whatever. She made a little noise, a negative, and did the same. …Her mouth was full, she stole the last fucking one when I turned away.

I saw her to the door, and she finally offered me an awkward smile.

“Um, thanks…I know this was weird. I guess…I mean, you’re not as bad as I thought.”

“Yes I am. Get fucked.” I offered her a half-assed little wave before closing the door on her.

…Should have just stabbed her. When’d I get so soft…?
