2nd Strike | Voice

[kendo_taisho]

[He sounds tired, like he's been up all night and then some. In the background Sakamoto can be heard nervously talking.]

It's prolly no surprise t'anyone this thing got to Maurtia Falls. My roommate came home sick, dunno where he's been.

To any of the other residents of 004: If ya missed it so far...don't come home. I can't...

[Sakamoto's voice momentarily raises, "We're fine! It's just our imagination, isn't it!?" and the sound of a chair scraping the floor closer to the mic.]

Would ya shut up!? This is yer fault I'm here!

[Heiji sighs heavily.]

M'sorry. Just...stay away 'til this is figured out.

[His face falls into a sad expression for a moment. No matter how annoying Sakamoto is, Heiji can't hate him. Taking a breath, his expression shifted to one of determination.]

Yer damn right. People here are supposed to be superheroes, right? They'll figure somethin' out. In th' meantime you an' I are gonna keep ourselves together, so don't ya give up on me, ya hear?

[shoubai]

Giving up is the last thing on my list, you got that at least.

[ not like he'll have a choice but hey ]

[kendo_taisho]

Good. Now what was I doin? I walked into the kitchen an' got a glass.

[Stares at Sakamoto for a moment before snapping his fingers.]

Right! Water. Gimme a moment.

[And back to actually fill that glass. Trying to stay upbeat.]

[shoubai]

[ don't get lost dude ]

Y'know, after all this? We ought to go out.

[ stay upbeat. laugh like nothing's wrong. ]

[kendo_taisho]

[This house is so topsy turvey, however will he find his way? Returns with two glasses, figuring he could probably use something to drink, and hands one over to Sakamoto.]

Sure, we can do that. See what kinda stuff they got to do around here. [On any other day he wouldn't even entertain the thought. Sakamoto would have to physically drag him out.]

[shoubai]

[ don't doubt his powers of persuasion, kid ]

A night on the town, all my treat! Write it down!

[kendo_taisho]

[Taps at his temple.]

Don't need t'write it down.

...though Imma draw the line at drinkin' or sellin' ourselves.

[shoubai]

I just don't want to forget--

[shoubai]

Who do you think I am, oi!

[kendo_taisho]

Someone who'll corrupt a minor without a second thought. [Flat, with the barest hint of a grin.]

[shoubai]

If you have only one lifetime to enjoy, best to enjoy it to the fullest I say.

[kendo_taisho]

I'm only seventeen. There are laws in place!
