Sure did. No possession or coercion, either. Granted, participation in our game was voluntary, and we were told from the beginning that anyone who died was gonna get brought back...
That doesn't change the fact that the bastard still did it, though.
[ the reminder of guy's thoughtless actions is what finally breaks majima's cool as he slams his fist on the counter with enough force to cause the plate that phoenix's sandwich sits on to clatter in place. ]
Who the fuck does he think he is, tryin' to say that people weren't gettin' angry enough? And having the goddamn gall to throw a pity party for himself after he admitted he was the most logical decision to come down to with what we had? Piece of shit.
Maybe he shoulda thought about not lookin' like an asshole for once in his life, but I guess he had his head too far up his ass to even try.
[ he pounds his fist on the counter again, but with much less force than the previous time. ]
...sorry. Even just talkin' about the shit he's done sets me off. He had the nerve to ask me to look past what he did so we could work together to save everyone here... what a load of bull.
...if he was takin' this "competition" seriously, yeah, ya got a point. But...
[ he frowns. guy did admit, that last time, that he didn't regret his actions. but that was when they knew their lives weren't at stake, and though they'd remember the pain, guy's "victims" would still be revived...
[ honestly, if this 'someone has to die every week or everyone does' rule is real, the bloodshed is going to be continuous no matter what. but, most of the people here are kids, and, well.... ]
[ it's sometime in the late afternoon that majima drops by the spabin (name pending). when he sees phoenix presumably chilling inside, he raises one hand in a casual greeting, the other shoved into his pocket. ]
Just the man I was lookin' for. Wanna clean up a haunted entertainment room with me? I figure it'd be as good of a time as any to get to know each other, now that we're roommates an' all, plus we'd be gettin' a task done. Two birds, one stone, et cetera.
[ the spabin.... he's eased off the grape juice a little since being kicked in the ass by teens, but he's still sipping at it..... he lifts his hand in a wave when he spots majima. ]
Sounds like a fun way to pass the time..... and get vouchers without having to stab anyone. Let's do it.
[ beau is presumably chilling enough that the two of them feel secure enough to go on a life-changing fieldtrip. ]
[ he waves off phoenix's comment as he turns back to walk out the door, waiting for the other man to join him. ]
Hah... I ain't the type to just stand off to the side when I can do somethin' about the situation. That sorta thing doesn't need thanks. That's just bein' a decent person.
[ speaking of which!! entertainment room, ahoy! when the two of them enter the room, it doesn't look too bad... just a few dvd cases on the floor, maybe a stray cable or two lying around. ]
Shadows-han seems like a sturdy, reliable...Director, don't ya think? Wonder why they keep makin' us do their chores for 'em every week.

( week 2 ) saturday
Sure felt like we were onto somethin', didn't it?
no subject
Think we had some pretty good theories... just not much way to test them or narrow them down, unfortunately.
no subject
Ya think we'll ever actually find out the truth? 'Bout this week or last.
no subject
[ he's feeling generous, apparently ]
I think we'll learn from our mistakes, but if we have no reliable way to narrow down suspects, it's only going to get harder.
Potential killers learn, too.
no subject
Maybe next time, we can agree to not wait 'til we got ten minutes left on the clock to use a fuckin' fingerprint kit.
no subject
Oh yes, on that we can agree. And work on a more solid list of suspects from the get-go.
no subject
You really are an old hat at this kinda thing, aren't ya? And not just in the way that we all are, after our own games.
no subject
[ shut up phoenix. ]
... Must have been quite a leap for you, though. From your game to this.
no subject
Who told ya the deets?
no subject

Guy did kill two kids, didn't he? When murder was optional?
It came out pretty heatedly at trial, so I just want to make sure my information is correct.
no subject
That doesn't change the fact that the bastard still did it, though.
no subject
[ a little..... ]
What were you all playing for, if you don't mind me asking?
no subject
So I guess whatever he wanted outta the game was important enough to have a couple of kids' blood on his hands.
no subject
[ his expression's as vague as ever but there's a definite note of derision there. ]
With that kind of logic, I can see how he'd be our rock messenger.
no subject
Who the fuck does he think he is, tryin' to say that people weren't gettin' angry enough? And having the goddamn gall to throw a pity party for himself after he admitted he was the most logical decision to come down to with what we had? Piece of shit.
[ oof. ]
no subject
People were always angry.... but I suppose he was more interested in getting that anger directed at him than he was anything else.
[ and he got his wish, apparently?? ]
Can't say I feel especially good about voting for the wrong person, but.... to call him innocent would be a stretch.
no subject
[ he pounds his fist on the counter again, but with much less force than the previous time. ]
...sorry. Even just talkin' about the shit he's done sets me off. He had the nerve to ask me to look past what he did so we could work together to save everyone here... what a load of bull.
no subject
[ while chiding others for not moving on. phoenix really can't think of him as anything over than a self-serving hypocrite. ]
Personally, I find it hard to believe he wouldn't go off and kill on his own, after what I've heard.
no subject
[ he frowns. guy did admit, that last time, that he didn't regret his actions. but that was when they knew their lives weren't at stake, and though they'd remember the pain, guy's "victims" would still be revived...
hm. ]
no subject
Hm...?
[ he'll go quiet so majima can speak his piece ]

[ beau is presumably chilling enough that the two of them feel secure enough to go on a life-changing fieldtrip. ]
... Thanks, by the way. For everything with Beau.
no subject
Hah... I ain't the type to just stand off to the side when I can do somethin' about the situation. That sorta thing doesn't need thanks. That's just bein' a decent person.
no subject
Sure, but not everyone would step up. So.... appreciate it.
[ he'll leave it at that, though. since majima's trying to wave it off. ]
So... any hobbies?
no subject
[ sometimes this is how you cope with your mortality... but he shakes his head as they continue on toward the entertainment room. ]
On a more serious note, I like doin' karaoke. It's a great way to spend a night and unwind at the bar after a long day at work.
no subject
[ yeah they can gallows humor, this is fine. coping!!! ]
Karaoke, huh? It's been a while since I've done it... pretty good way to unwind, though.
no subject
no subject
... maybe we could go a round after we're done with this clean up.
