001 | (accidental) voice

[railgunning]

[There's the sounds of a scuffle---with a girl's voice cursing and complaining about 'stupid idiots, I'm not handing over my marques or whatever the money here's called! I told that little girl I'd buy her some bread!' ---when the tablet's voice feed suddenly clicks on:]

Okay, now let me get this straight. We're supposed to be soldiers, off fighting this war, right? So tell me this---

[The girl speaking quickly grunts as she dodges the thugs' attacks. The sounds of her footsteps make a scurrying noise as if she quickly backpedaled away. Afterward, she takes a deep, irritated breath.]

---isn't part of our job supposed to be keeping the peace? Why are there still moron thugs running around?

[After she poses this inquiry, there's the sound of electricity cracking, and the tablet suddenly shuts off.]



[ooc: tags might be slow, sorry! action tags are welcome as well, for anyone who's up for it!]

Oh, yes.

Lots of fighting. Everyone bleeds here.

[railgunning]

[GRUMBLE.]

You sound entertained. Wouldn't you do the same thing if you got attacked by morons? To be honest, though? Blood is something I'd like to avoid.

[theparasite]

Don't lie.

[railgunning]

Lie?

[what.]

What's there to lie about? The not wanting a murder case on my hands? Sure, they pissed me off, but they're just idiots looking for some cash. They're not worth killing. But then again, that kinda thing's never worth it. It doesn't solve anything.

[MIKOTO MIGHT LIKE KICKING ASS, BUT SHE IS IN NO WAY BLOODTHIRSTY ALRIGHT]

[theparasite]

[it starts to laugh around not worth killing – giggling, snickering, all that jazz. whatever point there is to all that is lost.]

[railgunning]

[okay um well this is either really really funny (it isn't) or the person she's speaking to is being really really creepy. Mikoto's...gonna go with option B.]

I didn't mean that to be funny, you know.

[theparasite]

Ohhhhhh... [getting off that laughing spell with a sigh.] Oh, it is. It is. Stupid girl. Do you even know where you are?

[railgunning]

Yeah. Exsilium, where we're fighting this big gigantic war against some evil supreme government.

[Said with an edge of, 'no shit, Sherlock!']

The enemy's one thing---natives, idiots included, are a different issue. Getting arrested and tossed in jail is more than enough to teach them a lesson. [It's how they did handled things back in Academy City, and it seemed to work, at any rate, when it came to petty criminals.] Killing just makes things more complicated.

[theparasite]

Wrong.

There are few simpler things than those two. Living. Not living. One and two.

[railgunning]

[Not even gonna argue with this dude. Mikoto doesn't do well versus craycray. But---]

Seems like you're in favor of the 'not living' side of things. Mind telling me why, exactly?

[Because it'll give her a reason to exact Electric Justice. And that's an itch that needs scratching yet.]

[theparasite]

Not living? [slightly shrill. it laughs.] You are stupid! Living is the best thing there can be!

[railgunning]

I didn't mean you.

[ugh.]

I meant that you prefer other people to be 'not living.'. You don't sound like a people person. Speaking of which, you call me stupid one more time and I'll show you who the stupid one really is.

[because wow rude.]

[theparasite]

Your ears are broken. But you talk, talk, talk, talk talk.

[railgunning]

They're broken, alright. From listening to you talk in circles. There a point to this, or are you gonna stop talking now?

[theparasite]

No. Never. Circles, squares, triangles. I earned the right to talk however I please.
