Logs

(9:25:43 AM) ***Misty heads into the clinic with a bunch of flowers. She knocks on the door to the spare room, "Tsume, you there?"
(9:27:18 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze sits up, "Buh...."
(9:27:55 AM) ***Misty opens the door, heading inside and sitting down by the bed. "How are you feeling today?"
(9:28:28 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes his head, "Like I got hit by a bus. Can you turn the lights down a bit?"
(9:29:14 AM) ***Misty turns off one of the lights, smiling weakly at him. "Thank god, you're sounding much more with it today..."
(9:30:23 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze flops backwards on the bed. "I'm still not all here. I feel foggy, a bit. And my words aren't always... Correctly."
(9:30:54 AM) Misty: I swear we'll get you back to full capacity, sweetie.
(9:31:56 AM) ***Misty sighs, "I've been thinking it through, and I'm not sure I can keep doing this. My nerves have been shot these last few days..."
(9:33:58 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze laughs hollowly, "At least you can remember the last few days."
(9:34:33 AM) Misty: All I remember is you hurt, and me crying, and that damn storm...
(9:35:07 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze tilts his head, "Is that still going on?"
(9:35:39 AM) Misty: I was willing to get hurt doing this, but watching you get hurt is more than I can bear... if we hadn't known Doc you'd either be dead or stuck like that forever, most likely.
(9:35:55 AM) ***Misty shudders, "And there's another problem, too..."
(9:37:51 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze sits up slowly, "More bad things?"
(9:38:55 AM) ***Misty buries her head in her hands, "That clingy medical student. I've known her for three days and suddenly she thinks we have something serious. I think she thinks this is more than it really is."
(9:39:47 AM) Misty: It's a shallow relationship. We fuck, and know nothing about each other. I don't /want/ that.
(9:39:52 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze pauses and then lays back down.
(9:40:06 AM) Midnight_Blaze: You should be nice to her.
(9:40:26 AM) Misty: I am nice to her!
(9:40:56 AM) ***Misty frowns, "But that doesn't mean... urgh, nevermind. You're at 80% right now, you still need to recover."
(9:41:27 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze looks up at the ceiling. "No, I don't mean like... I mean like in case I don't really get better."
(9:42:02 AM) ***Misty rests her hand over his, staring into  his eyes.
(9:42:15 AM) Misty: You really think I'd stop loving you?
(9:42:52 AM) Misty: Oh, honey... I promise that I'll love you as long as you want me to. Whether you improve or not.
Unknown command.
(9:44:36 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze 's voice hitches, "I've... I've seen this happen before."
(9:44:51 AM) Misty: You have?
(9:46:19 AM) Midnight_Blaze: If I don't get better it won't be fair to you. If that happens it's okay if you want to be in love with her.
(9:47:04 AM) Misty: Tsume, you need me. She doesn't.
(9:47:52 AM) Misty: At the very least, I'm going to help you until you've fully recovered. In this city, miracles like that aren't too rare.
(9:48:01 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze sighs, wiping an eye. "I uh... Thank you."
(9:48:39 AM) ***Misty hugs him gently. "I have a request, though..."
(9:49:16 AM) Midnight_Blaze: Hm?
(9:49:26 AM) Misty: Even once you're back to normal, just leave the woman responsible alone. It'd be awful to leave her babies without a mother, even if she does deserve it...
(9:50:39 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze laughs, "You know, I have no idea how to kill that monster. I don't even know what she is besides Scary."
(9:51:26 AM) Midnight_Blaze: I have never seen so many scary monsters in my life.
(9:52:22 AM) ***Misty sighs, "I'm gonna see if Doc can't fix you something up. Wait here," she says, getting up and leaving the room. After half an hour she returns.
(9:53:20 AM) Misty: Alright, he has something, a medicine that'll help you focus. You can only take it three times a day, but it'll bring you  back to full brainpower for about 30 minutes at a time.
(9:53:58 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze quirks an eyebrow. "That sounds... damage."
(9:54:33 AM) Misty: It's safe, but if you try taking it more than three times in 24 hours you'll just get a headache.
(9:54:37 AM) Midnight_Blaze: There aren't any side interacts are there?
(9:54:37 AM) Ashley_Kenni: <Makes me think of the thinking cap from Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy>
(9:55:39 AM) Misty: Not side effects, though you may get frustrated that it wears off. There are a few things we can do incase you never recover, sweetie. This is just to help you feel better.
(9:56:14 AM) ***Misty hands him a small blue tablet, holding out a glass of water in her other hand.
(9:56:21 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shrugs, " 'Kay give it here. If it kills me, it kills me."
(9:56:43 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze tosses the pill back and drinks down the glass of water
(9:58:01 AM) Midnight_Blaze: Well... That didn't do anythi... *HRaRRRRRGH*
(9:58:17 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze clutches at his temples and thrashes around on the bed, fitfully
(9:58:53 AM) ***Misty holds him close, humming a tune as the medicine takes effect, "It's okay, it'll only hurt for a moment..."
(9:59:16 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze whines, "Ohgodohgodohgod..."
(10:00:09 AM) ***Misty bites down on her lip, stroking his head gently. "Darnit, stupid Doc always underestimates the pain..."
(10:00:49 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze lays back, panting and sweating, "It feels like I'm going to give birth to a watermelon out my fuckin' nose..."
(10:01:28 AM) ***Misty kisses his head gently, "You sound more like your old self now, at least."
(10:02:12 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze blinks, "God... Goddamn, I can think again."
(10:02:58 AM) Misty: Doc advised you take these at work, but I thought you could use the cheering up. You feel any better?
(10:04:55 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods, "For having had his skull fractured and his orbital socket crushed not more than a day ago? Yeah, I feel pretty good, considering."
(10:05:54 AM) ***Misty pull  him into a tight hug, tearing up. "Oh, sweetie, I miss you..."
(10:06:23 AM) Misty: I meant what I said. I'd want to stay with you whether you recover or not.
(10:07:00 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze hugs Misty, "You know I can't ask you to stay with a guy who's *not* retarded for an hour and a half a day."
(10:07:18 AM) Midnight_Blaze: It wouldn't be fair to you.
(10:07:30 AM) Heavy|2 [~Mcfucku@f8171.36391f10.1e79b4c9.11de379dX] entered the room.
(10:07:32 AM) Heavy|3 [~Mcfucku@f8171.36391f10.1e79b4c9.11de379dX] entered the room.
(10:07:34 AM) Heavy|2 left the room (quit: Client exited).
(10:07:42 AM) Misty: You weren't that bad. You couldn't use big words, sure, but you were mostly yourself.
(10:07:57 AM) Heavy|3 left the room (quit: Client exited).
(10:08:11 AM) Misty: Besides,  my other option is being with a woman that, frankly, reminds me a little of that cheetah.
(10:08:18 AM) Heavy|2 [~Mcfucku@f8171.36391f10.1e79b4c9.11de379dX] entered the room.
(10:08:24 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes a little, "It's... It's not painful, at least."
(10:08:28 AM) Heavy left the room (quit: SVSKilled: GHOST command used by Heavy|2).
(10:08:36 AM) Heavy|2 is now known as Heavy

(10:09:07 AM) Misty: Will find a way, Tsume. I know you have feelings for Kat, but...
(10:09:39 AM) ***Misty frowns a little, "She was hardly broken up about your situation. She doesn't feel much of anything."
(10:10:00 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods. "She doesn't show it like that."
(10:11:02 AM) Misty: All I've ever seen her show is anger. She's not good for you, not while the first thing on her mind is her empire. That's what she cares about more than anything.
(10:11:36 AM) Ashley_Kenni left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 360 seconds).
(10:12:51 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze flops back down. "She's more than that, but it feels *really* weird to talk about this with you."
(10:13:14 AM) ***Misty tilts her head, "How come?"
(10:13:47 AM) Misty: I'm not jealous. I mean, if she makes you happy then go for it.
(10:13:57 AM) Midnight_Blaze: Because I care about *both* of you.
(10:14:43 AM) ***Misty looks to the floor, "I know I can't compete with her. She's gorgeous, and powerful, and she has greater aspirations than I do..."
(10:15:03 AM) Misty: Just be careful, okay?
(10:15:24 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze pulls Misty down next to him, "But you're here and she's not. That means something."
(10:16:46 AM) ***Misty nods, holding him gently. "I wish you'd accept my love, like this. I know it's hard, but I'd never look down on you or make you feel stupid."
(10:19:29 AM) Midnight_Blaze: I know you wouldn't. You're sweet and kind, but it would be cruel of me to hold you to that.
(10:20:37 AM) Midnight_Blaze: I... I guess what I'm saying is that if you wanted to leave, I'd understand it.
(10:20:47 AM) Misty: We still have options. The Avali aren't on great terms with us right now, but they used to let us create clone bodies, perfect copies of the original.
(10:21:14 AM) Misty: And that's the thing. I want you to understand that I /don't/ want to leave.
(10:21:58 AM) Misty: But if you need time alone, I'd understand. You're unhappy, and I can totally understand why.
(10:23:13 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze snuggles Misty.
(10:23:44 AM) ***Misty smiles, nuzzling his head.  "I love you."
(10:24:28 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze murrs into her ear, "Oh baby..."
(10:25:52 AM) ***Misty reaches down and squeezes his package gently, kissing along his neck as she strips under the covers.
(10:26:52 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze looks down, "Well, plus side of being hospitalized, I guess - at least I don't have a lot to strip..."
(10:28:47 AM) ***Misty smiles weakly at him, stroking and squeezing his hardening member, "You want me to ride you, ride me, or should I kiss your cock? Anything you want sweetie."
(10:33:39 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze strokes Misty's cheek, "Whatever you want, babe."
(10:35:42 AM) ***Misty climbs atop him, teasing her folds against his tip, gently easing herself onto him. She leans down, kissing the tip of his muzzle as she strokes along his chest.
(10:36:56 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze runs his hands lightly down Misty's smooth, toned sides before coming to rest on her hips.
(10:38:25 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze moans into Misty's kiss as he feels her teasing him with her womanhood.
(10:39:41 AM) Midnight_Blaze: P... Please...
(10:40:02 AM) ***Misty murrs, kissing him passionately as she inches her way onto him, riding him slowly as her hands reach to his ass, squeezing and stroking his cheeks.
(10:42:51 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze squeaks as Misty gropes him, "Oh..."
(10:43:43 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze pulls Misty down onto him by her hips, driving deeper and deeper into her.
(10:45:47 AM) ***Misty squeezes her walls tightly around his proud, twitching length, gasping as he thrusts deeper into her tightness, tensing herself every few second, milking his cock for his pre as she feels the first few beads slide down his shaft.
(10:48:46 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze whines against the tight pressure, bucking as Misty rides him.
(10:50:42 AM) Midnight_Blaze: Oh God, Misty...
(10:51:10 AM) ***Misty pulls him into a passionate kiss, coiling her long tongue around his own as she starts riding him harder and faster, fingers tickling along his tail as they sway together.
(10:51:24 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze grabs tight onto Misty's hips, feeling her twitch and writhe as she works.
(10:53:58 AM) ***Misty squeezes harder, milking him for every drop as their hips slap together lewdly, and she pulls away from the kiss for a moment, whispering "I'm getting close, how about you, honey...?"
(10:56:07 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze spasms, "I'm..."
(10:57:29 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze bucks hard, thrusting all the way into Misty as he arrives, pumping stream after stream of warm cum into her.
(10:58:39 AM) ***Misty shivers, soaking his cock with her arousal and crying out as he fills her with his wonderful warmth. "Oh my god, yes... f-fuck that's good..."
(10:59:41 AM) ***Misty goes limp against him, smiling up at him warmly. "You make me so happy, Tsume. As long as you're happy too, I'll respect whatever decision you  make."
(11:00:46 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze holds Misty tight, "I'm a damned fool."
(11:00:55 AM) Misty: Why's that?
(11:02:21 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes his head, "Nothing."
(11:03:17 AM) Misty: I don't think you're a fool at all. It's fine to be conflicted about all this. If it was simple it wouldn't be a problem, right?
(11:05:12 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods.
(11:06:17 AM) Midnight_Blaze: I guess you're in kind of the same boat, with Estelle..
(11:06:31 AM) ***Misty frowns, "How so?"
(11:07:46 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze rolls over to the side and grabs his cigarettes off the nightstand. "Not many girls I know who'd drop everything in a once in a thousand year storm to help their girlfriend's boyfriend."
(11:08:58 AM) Midnight_Blaze: Most infatuations break down under that sort of strain.
(11:09:02 AM) Misty: I don't think she realizes what we have.
(11:10:02 AM) ***Misty shakes her head, "It's not what she thinks it is. With you, I don't feel like I'm being imposed upon... I hope you don't get that feeling with me either."
(11:13:14 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes his head, "I don't."
(11:14:43 AM) ***Misty considers for a moment. "We're gonna have to talk with the Boss about whether you can keep going like this."
(11:18:47 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shivers a little, "If she lives long enough."
(11:19:17 AM) Misty: What do you mean? She's been sending regular updates via text.
(11:21:21 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze runs a hand down Misty's thigh, "I'm... I'm pretty good at handling myself, but I followed Vasily, someone who's supposed to be an ally, into a house of a random friend and got very nearly killed by some supernatural monster."
(11:21:52 AM) Midnight_Blaze: "This," he points to his head and face, "This doesn't happen to guys like me."
(11:22:53 AM) ***Misty kisses him, "She won't hurt you  again. If you need me to get something that'll end her in one shot, I know an arms dealer that specializes in fighting monsters."
(11:23:36 AM) Midnight_Blaze: If that's lurking out there in this town, monsters who know the unknowable, waiting to pounce around every corner, Kat's not going to live.
(11:24:05 AM) Misty: Only if she upsets any of them...
(11:24:24 AM) ***Misty thinks for a moment. "..Yeah, that's going to be a problem."
(11:25:09 AM) Misty: You could say the same about any of us, though...
(11:26:18 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze curls up with the covers, "It's... Freaky. Supposing I *did* kill that monster, what then? Another 50 unstoppable critters who can crush forged steel in their bare hands?"
(11:27:18 AM) Misty: Well, in this business sooner or later  you're going to get hurt. I just wish it'd been less severe for you...
(11:28:49 AM) ***Misty sighs, "We could always become monsters ourselves. She was a werewolf, all we'd need to do is find a friendly one and ask them to bite us... though I don't think I'd care much for looking like that, personally... I like being a bat."
(11:33:38 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes his head, "It's crazy. If I'd have known..."
(11:33:46 AM) Misty: You think hiring monsters as bodyguards would do it?
(11:34:37 AM) Misty: I mean, that bear's strong but even he wouldn't stand a chance against some of em'... worse yet, they don't  all look that tough. Big things can come in small packages in this city...
(11:38:09 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes his head. "I don't know. But I do know that if that monster runs into her, it'll be a very short, very messy fight."
(11:39:18 AM) ***Misty sighs deeply, "It'd help if she stopped burning bridges everywhere she went. Even for someone in her position she's made far too many enemies..."
(11:41:22 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods, "This game works differently than I expected. All this fuss over one screwed-up girl."
(11:43:06 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze pauses in consideration, "I don't know if she'll hear it, but I think I'm going to try and get her out of town."
(11:43:54 AM) Misty: I think that much has blown over. I asked Doc to erase the memory of everyone involved with her, including the rabbit, during their next checkup, and he faked a mandatory checkup to do just that... the storm came in handy after all.
(11:44:24 AM) Misty: Get her out of town? She's dead.
(11:44:52 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze laughs, "Hah, what? No, Kat."
(11:45:17 AM) Misty: Oh. Yeah, good luck with that. She'd sooner die than give up  her empire.
(11:45:21 AM) Midnight_Blaze: Pretty hard to get a dead girl out of town.
(11:46:15 AM) ***Misty shrugs, "Vasily made a  similar mistake a few months back, y'know. Except the consequences were even bigger... we're still feeling em' now."
(11:48:11 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze gets an odd look on his face. "Did I... Do you remember me saying anything weird?"
(11:49:02 AM) Misty: You said some really strange poetry-type stuff yesterday. Not stupid stuff, either... just gibberish. Kinda scary, actually.
(11:50:50 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods. "I don't remember. Not really, anyway. I remember texting you and trying to text Kat and then I realized I was ruining the carpet and went to the tub and then I don't remember much of anything at all."
(11:51:42 AM) ***Misty tears up at the memories, "You were leaking a lot of brain fluid, we all thought you were a goner..."
(11:52:24 AM) Misty: Then some jackal guy showed up to help Doc fix you. Vas was pretty fucked up too...
(11:53:22 AM) Midnight_Blaze: What's... What's really fucked up is I.
(11:53:50 AM) Misty: We'll fix it, honey. I promise.
(11:54:16 AM) Misty: Now, as for getting Kat out of the city...
(11:54:40 AM) Misty: The only other city nearby is much, much safer. No monsters, no magic, nothing like that.
(11:55:22 AM) Misty: Only problem is it's the same place you sent Aaron. Though really, I'm not sure he's going to cause you trouble again.
(11:58:39 AM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods. "If I could just get her out to the country, that'd be fine. Somewhere she could hunker down until I can fix this."
(11:59:41 AM) Midnight_Blaze: Get her off the street and out of the business at least long enough to buy us some breathing room.
(12:00:04 PM) Misty: Honestly, she could make just as much money out there, and with less than ten percent of the risk.
(12:00:58 PM) Misty: We could go with her. You be safe, I'd be safe, and we could still live the life. After all this bullshit, it's going to feel so much easier if we did.
(12:02:58 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze snuggles Misty, "Maybe, but I need to fix this before we go, though. No sense running away to have to spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, worried that some animal with scrying sense is going to pop up out of nowhere and cave everybody's head in."
(12:03:26 PM) Misty: I can go talk with her.
(12:03:50 PM) Misty: She's probably terrified that the mob are going to break in and kill all her babies.
(12:04:10 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze cocks an eyebrow, "Why would the mob kill all her babies?"
(12:04:32 PM) Midnight_Blaze: I can see why she'd be worried that /I'D/ kill all her babies after that, but the mob?
(12:04:56 PM) Misty: We /are/ the mob, honey. A part of it, at least.
(12:05:21 PM) Misty: ...And would you really kill her kids, if you had the chance?
(12:07:18 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes his head. "No. That would be insane. I would consider killing /her/ just to buy myself a little better sleep at night, but killing a monster's children would serve no purpose aside from being a very painful way for me to commit suicide."
(12:08:15 PM) Misty: And, y'know, really cruel.
(12:08:24 PM) Midnight_Blaze: I mean, really... Under what scenario would offing her children not lead to her hanging me with my own intestines.
(12:08:48 PM) Misty: It's her weakness. That, and silver bullets.
(12:09:29 PM) Midnight_Blaze: Cruel or not, it wouldn't be effective.
(12:09:57 PM) Midnight_Blaze: She nearly caved my face in over some stupid junkie. Can you imagine what she'd do over dead kids?
(12:10:16 PM) ***Misty nods. "We need to set up a deal with her. She leaves us alone and we do the same to her."
(12:10:57 PM) Misty: Trust me, hon'. Her kids are the one thing she's afraid of losing, and that gives us leverage.
(12:11:28 PM) Misty: As for Kat... we need to talk to her as soon as possible.
(12:11:45 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze sits up, "Are you... Are you suggesting we *threaten* to kill her kids if she doesn't leave us alone?"
(12:13:22 PM) Midnight_Blaze: I was going to go maybe more for playing it that she beat my noggin hard enough that Thomas the Tank Engine is my favorite show now and we're not a threat to her anymore.
(12:14:30 PM) Misty: That works too. Though if she knows you aren't the Boss she might expect revenge.
(12:15:01 PM) Misty: Hell, Kat may want to hurt her for what she did to you.
(12:16:00 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods, "That's something we'll have to feel out when we sit down with Kat."
(12:16:51 PM) Misty: Has Archie contacted you at all, by the way?
(12:17:37 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze shakes his head, "No. Why? I figured he'd gone off and got a job as a bicycle polisher or whatever kids do these days."
(12:17:44 PM) Misty: I hope he finds a job he can stomach. Kid was too young and too soft for this kinda work.
(12:18:39 PM) Midnight_Blaze: I just hope to hell he wasn't working undercover for the feds or some shit like that.
(12:18:59 PM) ***Misty looks away for some reason. "Y-yeah."
(12:19:20 PM) Heavy is now known as Heavy|sleeper
(12:21:31 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze frowns, "Yeah. That wouldn't be good."
(12:21:45 PM) Misty: ...
(12:23:34 PM) ***Misty sighs, "What matters is that he's gone, right?"
(12:24:26 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze looks at Misty closely, "Sure, for him. For us, it'd be helpful if he wasn't an agent of law enforcement."
(12:25:00 PM) ***Misty closes her eyes,sighing. "...I caught him talking to the police over the phone, and he started begging and crying... I told him if he never came back I'd 'fire' him so he wouldn't end up tortured or killed or anything. "
(12:25:43 PM) Misty: I know when fear's genuine. He was legitimately terrified for his life.
(12:26:22 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze 's eyes narrow, "/what/"
(12:27:15 PM) ***Misty sighs. "I made the call. They sent in a kid because they thought we'd take it easier on him if he was caught... I was weak."
(12:27:49 PM) Misty: I don't like hurting people, Tsume. But kids? I can't.
(12:27:51 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze lies down.
(12:28:26 PM) Misty: Tell Kat if you want. He's probably out of the city by now, if he's smart.
(12:28:43 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze stares at the ceiling.
(12:29:14 PM) ***Misty turns away, "Do you feel betrayed?"
(12:29:20 PM) Misty: ...I'm sorry.
(12:31:07 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze asks quietly, "Do you know how much they know?"
(12:31:34 PM) Misty: Supply routes, a few dealer's names.
(12:32:17 PM) Misty: Frankly, the cops in this city are infamously lax about anything outside of murder and sexual assault. We might never feel the sting.
(12:32:46 PM) Midnight_Blaze: They were interested enough to send him in.
(12:33:51 PM) Midnight_Blaze: I have to assume they know Kat ordered the hit on those two guys.
(12:34:21 PM) Heavy [~Mcfucku@f8171.36391f10.1e79b4c9.11de379dX] entered the room.
(12:34:22 PM) mode (+o Heavy) by ChanServ
(12:34:39 PM) ***Misty considers. "Might consider it an inside matter."
(12:35:05 PM) Misty: Dealers killing dealers... that shit doesn't even make the news around here.
(12:35:12 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze nods.
(12:35:52 PM) Midnight_Blaze: I don't think he could prove I did the girl in, but...
(12:36:11 PM) Misty: I told him to stay quiet about that, as a favour to me.
(12:36:25 PM) Misty: Since I spared his life an all.
(12:36:27 PM) Midnight_Blaze: Think he will?
(12:36:44 PM) Misty: He's been gone a week, and there's been no raid.
(12:36:59 PM) Misty: Why give us time to take the money and run like that?
(12:37:12 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze frowns, "They might be putting together a RICO case."
(12:37:30 PM) Misty: ...
(12:37:48 PM) Misty: Should I tell the Boss? I'm fucking dead if I do.
(12:38:11 PM) Midnight_Blaze: Change the details, but give her the fact.
(12:38:29 PM) Midnight_Blaze: You heard it on the street or from someone you've got on the inside downtown.
(12:38:32 PM) Heavy|2 [~Mcfucku@3155232f.13e0fa6.f4f1334.11de379dX] entered the room.
(12:39:05 PM) ***Misty nods, "Good idea."
(12:39:12 PM) Heavy|sleeper left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 360 seconds).
(12:39:28 PM) Midnight_Blaze: Honestly, I think what you did is what she or I would have had you do anyway. Killing him would have given them ample cause to raid.
(12:40:07 PM) Misty: I didn't do it for us, though... I did it so I wouldn't have to have it on my conscience.
(12:40:19 PM) Midnight_Blaze: Well... Leave that part out when you tell it.
(12:40:47 PM) Misty: I've killed before, make no mistake. But never that young, and never while they blubbering and begging.
(12:41:23 PM) ***Misty sighs, "Mind if I bum a smoke off ya?  I could use it."
(12:41:42 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze tosses the pack to Misty, "Cheers."
(12:42:04 PM) ***Misty lights one up, smiling at him, "Thanks."
(12:42:21 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze takes the pack back and draws one of his own.
(12:42:46 PM) Misty: I never told you about Vas' fuckup, did I?
(12:42:58 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze takes a drag "What concerns me, though, is that you didn't give us some sort of heads up."
(12:43:07 PM) Heavy left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 360 seconds).
(12:43:19 PM) Midnight_Blaze: Bad business, that. Even a lie with the facts in it would have been preferable to this.
(12:43:24 PM) Misty: I figured I'd be killed if I did, or that he would be.
(12:44:40 PM) Misty: Oh, one other thing I forgot to mention... you saw a ghost, while you were bleeding out.
(12:44:54 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze laughs, "G'wan."
(12:45:21 PM) Misty: Doc saw it too, mentioned it later. Guess who it fuckin' was.
(12:46:36 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze giggles and taps his ash into the ashtray, "Naw. There's no such thing as ghosts."
(12:47:24 PM) ***Misty grins, "Oh, sure. Werewolves and magic and all that shit, but not ghosts."
(12:47:52 PM) Misty: Well, supposedly it was the junkie. She was laughing, the spiteful little cunt.
(12:48:55 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze snorts, "Man... You think?"
(12:49:30 PM) Misty: I think if I could, I'd give her to Aaron in exchange for him never bothering us again.
(12:49:56 PM) Misty: We have enough on our plate without old grudges like that, y'know?
(12:52:35 PM) Midnight_Blaze: You think... You think she's really out there, following us around?
(12:53:36 PM) ***Misty giggles, calling out, "Bet you miss being able to fuck, dontcha bitch? Have fun haunting the earth fore-"
(12:53:54 PM) ***Misty blinks, shuddering hard as the lights flicker.
(12:54:32 PM) ***Misty stares at Tsume, her voice sounding decidedly different. "I have a question for you."
(12:54:35 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze goes pale. "I say gawd-dayum!"
(12:54:48 PM) Misty: I just wanna know why you did it.
(12:56:33 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze takes a drag and looks at Misty. "Is it?"
(12:57:26 PM) Midnight_Blaze: It must be.
(12:57:42 PM) Misty: I'm stuck floating about because of you. You tell me why you killed me and I'll leave her.
(12:58:11 PM) Misty: I don't need some big explanation. If it was just business then that's fine.
(12:58:39 PM) Midnight_Blaze: It wasn't personal. If there was another way, I would much rather have not.
(12:59:14 PM) ***Misty sighs, "That's fair enough. No hard feelings."
(12:59:19 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze hands Misty/Veronica a smoke.
(12:59:38 PM) ***Misty accepts the smoke, smiling, "Thank you."
(1:01:08 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze looks down, "Hope it didn't hurt."
(1:01:51 PM) Misty: Nope, it was over before I even knew I was hit. I miss the weasel, though... thanks for not killing him.
(1:03:06 PM) Misty: Oh, and before I leave, a little advice for the road... the next guy she's gonna hire is a psychopath. Watch out for him.
(1:03:47 PM) ***Misty shudders hard, the lights flickering as Veronica leaves her. She breaks down into tears, hugging him close. "Tsume..."
(1:04:17 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze shudders.
(1:04:40 PM) Misty: It was awful, I feel violated...
(1:05:17 PM) Midnight_Blaze: Well.
(1:05:51 PM) Misty: Please, hold me...
(1:05:55 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze fumbles with his lighter, trying to relight his extinguished smoke, "That was the creepiest goddamn thing I've *ever* been in."
(1:06:02 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze holds Misty tight.
(1:06:39 PM) ***Misty chuckles weakly, "Second creepiest for me. I attended a comic book convention once."
(1:07:57 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze sniffs, "I thought I smelled the funk. You never can wash it off, you know."
(1:08:33 PM) ***Misty laughs, giving a pained smile. "Love you."
(1:08:57 PM) ***Midnight_Blaze murrs and squeezes Misty.
(1:09:24 PM) ***Misty chitters quietly, holding him there.
(1:09:48 PM) Misty: <I gtg, this was fun! See you around man :) >
(1:09:59 PM) Midnight_Blaze: <later on, bud!>
