Seventy-Ninth Explosion

[deusexhormones]

[Voice]

All that snow and not even a single yeti! Not even a yuki-onna?! I mean come on, this is the perfect chance for an interesting experiment and it's not even used?!

Oi! Oi! Did anyone see either of those? Maybe Jack Frost? I mean there was a Jack O'Lantern a while back, so there should be something like this for payback for all this stupid snow...

Rena! Where the hell're you? [A pause, and then someone might hear Shiki whine-yelling something in the background. And then Haruki groans audibly before he tags on, as an afterthought-] Neku, you too. How's things there?

SOS-Brigade, report! Statuses, now!

[and then there's a chirp from Sekai in the background and he closes his journal]

[ Fina nods, before speaking up uncertainly: ]

I... um I hadn't seen her like that for a while and then it happened so suddenly.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

["Triggers..."

"Triggers." Haruki turns and looks at Minato with a looks he's probably not seen since Haruki slugged him all those months ago: honest rage-born seeming hatred. He's glaring. His eyes are really mad-looking. And...]

And there's nothing you [Clearly to imply Minato in particular] can do about it.

[emp3thy]

Why not.

[He keeps his eyes on Haruki, no rage in his own but quiet determination. There's a lot he will sacrifice for friends, and many times he'll back down to keep them happy. But right now, it's Haruki's feelings against Rena and Fina.

If Haruki throws a punch, this time he won't take it.]

[ Fina looks in-between the two of them from her place on the futon. She is beginning to worry that the two will come to blows in a minute and wonders whether or not to call Mr. Caine back in again and prevent a scuffle from breaking out; but she has a feeling this isn't the first time they have been in a conflict in one another judging by how Minato is reacting right now. ]

Because you have voices in your head you lie about all the time, [A step forward...] because you keep a freakin' gun in your shirt all the time, [Another step] And because you're dead, but lie about it to everyone.

[emp3thy]

[Be happy Fina knew all that already. Minato stands his ground.]

Broadcasting that doesn't help anyone.

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

[ Those are some worrying steps. ]

P-Please don't fight. We're all guests here.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

It does when Rena's primary trigger is people lying, you dumbass!

[That isn't roared as loud as before, but is pretty damn loud still]

[emp3thy]

Which you knew and kept to yourself.

[Unspoken is, "how is that different from anything I've done?"]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

[ Fina sighs softly as her pleads go unheeded and looks down again. They are both inexorable and it seems they are not going to pay attention to anything until Haruki calms down. ]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Which I know and live up to.

[Folding his arms; he sees himself in the right here]

[emp3thy]

Rena-san doesn't stay in a box, under your watch.

[ Fina looks up at Minato after he says that before nervously looking over at Haruki to see how he reacts to that. ]

[Initially, he looks like he's almost spitting in anger. But after that he... he...]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Leans against the wall, and then slides down to sit down on the ground. And... sighs]

[emp3thy]

[...Unsure how much room he has here, Minato decides to just wait this one out.]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

Haruki...

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

I told you to shut up.

[But that's said without any feeling at all behind it. He sounds really... tired, actually.

[emp3thy]

[...And Minato returns to a seated position as well.]

She should wake up soon.

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

[ Fina purses her lips together and looks down. It seemed like everything she was saying lately only succeeded in upsetting people... not that she was unfamiliar with that concerning the situation with Ramirez back home, but... she strokes her Cupil bracelet again. ]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[...] Right.

[...Sigh]

[emp3thy]

[Are you going to explain, or do they get to stare at one another until Rena wakes up?]

[silviteadvocate.livejournal.com]

[ One of you boys better start talking. ]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...It's a neurological disorder.

[Looking away from the both of them, of course]

[emp3thy]

Schizophrenia?

[That's the only thing he knows that causes delusions...]
