All's well that ends well

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

[ You know bosses always get heat in the last health bar, Majima! But unlike yours, his heat doesn't expire. Nishitani pulls his arms up to block, but maybe Majima's cool spin attack will get through his guard...?? ]

Shit, I love watchin' ya move, Majima.

[ Hate to see you beat me but love to see ya do it. ]

[maddogs]

[ i mean technically majima is a boss too and i mean kiwami??? but ill let you have it on the expiration

anyways he does the dope spinning attack which most def breaks through nishitanis guard, but then he's gotta take a breather whoops ]

Ha-- well, ya know how it is.

[buddyoldpal]

[ One of us is a playable character and one of us is not, Majima! Nishitani takes the hit with a grin and a smile even as Majima's knife slices him up a bit. It's nice, ok???

Of course now that he's taking a breather, Nishitani can dance his way over to him, knife at the ready as he swipes at him. ]

Ya still got it, after all these years, eh?

[maddogs]

[ majima takes the hits, and there's definitely blood but they also definitely close up quick?? video games??? ]

Fuck yeah I do.

[ he lets him get a few more hits in while he recovers from the spin and then leaps up to stab him again ]

[buddyoldpal]

[ You always know just how to stab aguy to make him feel loved, dontcha, Majima? Nishitani meets him at the stab, their arms practically crossing from their similar moves. ]

Gettin' ta do all this shit's the nicest thing outta this whole mess, if ya ask me.

[maddogs]

Nah, gettin' ta do me is the nicest thing you're gettin' out of this mess.

[ he lunges forward, stabs nishitani in the shoulder hard but also kisses him before he draws the blade out. it's flirting. i promise. ]

[buddyoldpal]

[ Yeah WOW that's a lot of blood but Nishitani stays down more cause he's reeling from that cute kiss than the stab. Because video games. ]

Ain't that the fuckin' truth.

[ He jumps back up to his feet, swinging his knife and rushing back to give Majima as good as he's getting. ]

[maddogs]

[ he pulls the knife back just in time to get stabbed by nishitani ]

Fuck, you're fast. Most people can't keep up.

[buddyoldpal]

I ain't most people, pal!

[ And he's got full heat and he's low on HP so he's going all out here. ]

[maddogs]

[ majima's getting pretty low, too. and he wants nishitani to be happy so he takes a few extra hits and lets nishitani have the win -- he ends up on the floor, happy and panting ]

That was fuckin' great.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Oh.... that's so sweet. Nishitani lands on top of him, smiling just as wide. ]

Fuck, yeah. Shit.

[ I guess their heat is gone now too? Eh, that's normal. ]

Ain't had it that good in a long, long time.

[originallutece]

[And now that the blood is drying and the blades are still, Rosalind picks her way over.]

You two are liars.

[JUST SAYING.]

You told me you were both human!

[maddogs]

We are human?! What the fuck kinda question is that?

[buddyoldpal]

Course we are! What's that supposed ta mean?

[ You guys just stabbed each other and produced purple fire. Come on. ]

[originallutece]

You just glowed. And you're-- look at that, you're healing, for god's sake, there's not a scratch on either of you. That's not a typical human behavior.

[maddogs]

Oh, that's just Heat. It ain't a big thing.

[buddyoldpal]

Right, I mean... how else're ya gonna know when ya got a good fight on ya, yeah?

[originallutece]

Believe me when I tell you that doesn't typically happen.

Does it to others in your world?

[maddogs]

Mmmmm, jus' really strong fighters.

[buddyoldpal]

Yeah, 's just how it is. People don't take hits here like they do back home.

[originallutece]

And you just . . . heal like that. As if there's nothing to it.

[maddogs]

Yeah, that's why we were so fuckin' mad about bein' in the infirmary. It ain't like that back home.

[buddyoldpal]

[ Nishitani chuckles. ]

People get stabbed all the damn time, just doesn't stick.

[originallutece]

Apparently.

[WHAT ARE YOU TWO . . . she's certainly not giving up the idea that they're not human, frankly.]

Robert and I had to wait until we died to pull that kind of trick. Do you want to see?

[She nods towards Nishitani.]

I told him once . . . now that I am as I was, there's not a chance anyone could ever hurt me, no matter what they tried. Very useful when navigating around the nastier parts of Columbia.

[maddogs]

Ah? Yes, of course we wanna see.
