BF Session 11

[21:57]	<[Gtz]Mary>	[so, recap, or just go for it?]
[21:57]	<[GM]Ludwig>	[ZOOM]
[21:58]	<[Gtz]Mary>	[...mkay]
[22:00]	* [Gtz]Mary	Sits still for a moment, reclaiming herself before speaking to Cerise.
[22:01]	* [PYG]Cerise	has returned to packing.
[22:01]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Cerise... wait.
[22:02]	<[PYG]Cerise>	Just in case...
[22:02]	<[Gtz]Mary>	You and I need to have a talk. A talk about us. Sometime tonight.
[22:02]	<[PYG]Cerise>	...O-okay.
[22:03]	* [PYG]Cerise	is a little unnerved by how serious Mary sounds.
[22:04]	<[Gtz]Mary>	I want you to think about things a little bit. Then, we'll have a nice, long chat, how ever long it takes to sorts things out between us.
[22:05]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Is it alright with you to meet on the roof before bed time?
[22:05]	* [PYG]Cerise	's brows wrinkle a bit, but she nods. Sort...things?
[22:05]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Hmm?
[22:06]	* [Gtz]Mary	concerns over her silence.
[22:06]	<[PYG]Cerise>	Y-yes, of course.
[22:07]	* [PYG]Cerise	frowns at herself. She can't see you nodding, silly!
[22:08]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Okay then. I'm going to go see to our new guest, and then talk to Ludwig about a few things.
[22:09]	<[Gtz]Mary>	I might have to tell him about us. Is that alright with you?
[22:10]	* [PYG]Cerise	stops her current task, looking worried.
[22:10]	<[PYG]Cerise>	Um...D-does he have to know?
[22:12]	<[Gtz]Mary>	He doesn't have to know everything, of course. Some things between us are to be kept sacred. But if he asks, I will tell him that we love each other.
[22:12]	* [Gtz]Mary	smiles a little bit more, with her anxiety beginning to ease.
[22:12]	<[PYG]Cerise>	But he might be angry with me! After proposing to you and all...
[22:15]	<[Gtz]Mary>	He might be. But I won't lie to him. What I've done so far has already been quite unfair. I can't just say one thing and do another like that with a clean conscious. I'm sorry, dear.
[22:16]	* [Gtz]Mary	sighs.
[22:16]	<[PYG]Cerise>	At least you're the one telling him, he won't hate you for it, I think...
[22:17]	* [PYG]Cerise	takes a seat on the side of her bed, looking down at the floor.
[22:17]	<[PYG]Cerise>	If it was me...I...I'd probably get fired.
[22:17]	<[PYG]Cerise>	And then sent out.
[22:18]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Aw, come on now, Cerise, have a little more faith in him.
[22:19]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Ludwig, like you, is very intelligent for his age, including his emotions. If we take our time and talk things out, I think we can reach a common ground.
[22:22]	* [PYG]Cerise	shakes her head, trying to get her mind off of those thoughts and gets back to packing.
[22:24]	<[Gtz]Mary>	He's also quite young, like you. He may do something rash. But that's what I'm here for, to be sure that he grows up to be a good leader that can make good decisions.
[22:27]	<[Gtz]Mary>	sigh. I haven't been doing my job very well lately, have I... Oh well. Guess I'll just have to dust off my skirt and go for it anyway.
[22:28]	* [Gtz]Mary	stands up, brushing her hands across her skirt. It's one of those make-fun-of-yourself-things.
[22:31]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Are you going to be okay? Do you want to come with me?
[22:31]	<[PYG]Cerise>	I'll be fine.
[22:32]	<[PYG]Cerise>	I guess I'll just keep packing.
[22:37]	* [Gtz]Mary	frowns.
[22:38]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Alright... Just take care of yourself, okay?
[22:38]	<[PYG]Cerise>	...I will.
[22:39]	* [PYG]Cerise	tries to smile at Mary, but again, realizes she cannot see it.
[22:39]	* [Gtz]Mary	can, in fact, hear a smile.
[22:44]	* [Gtz]Mary	smiles in return, and leaves in the direction of the Med Room.
[23:13]	* [Gtz]Mary	finds her way to the infirmary door, and knocks on it lightly, listening for a response.
[23:16]	* [kiri]Hans	voice his grouchy sound.
[23:17]	<[kiri]Hans>	"Yeah, yeah. Whoever it is. I'm not naked and you are free to abuse my body. Come on in."
[23:18]	* [Gtz]Mary	looks unamused at first, but then smiles at the poor fellow's ability to retain a sense of humor after his ordeal. She steps in and stands at the foot of the bed, eyes closed.
[23:20]	<[kiri]Hans>	"Yo, chocolat. What'd ya need?"
[23:22]	* [Gtz]Mary	purses her lips into a bent frown.
[23:23]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Maaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy!"
[23:23]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Chocolate? I'm not sure if I should feel sweet or sour. Perhaps I ought to-
[23:24]	* [Nom]Alexis	bursts in, tearfully
[23:24]	* [Gtz]Mary	turns around, pulling the doo- nevermind, falls on her ass
[23:24]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Oof! What's the matter, Alexis?
[23:25]	* [kiri]Hans	shrugs. he could use some entertainment.
[23:27]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"You left me all alone, Mary! In the dark! In the cold! In the rain! We were supposed to be friends! Buddies! Stoically sitting in the war room, braving the boredom, needing nothing more than each other's company!"
[23:28]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Ah, my soul--WAIT, I DON'T HAVE--my heart! How it aches!"
[23:28]	* [Gtz]Mary	looks genuinely remorseful, pulling her lip into a tiny frown and helping herself up.
[23:29]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Aww, I'm sorry, sweetie...
[23:29]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"I have been abandoned! Betrayed! To think that you left me to see another--"
[23:29]	* [Nom]Alexis	does a take on seeing Hans in the room
[23:29]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"--Who were you again?"
[23:30]	* [Gtz]Mary	completely forgets whatever Alexis was on about.
[23:31]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Ah, yes! Sir, I've come here to tend to your needs. My name's Mary, and this is my friend here, Alexis. Could you impart your name as well?
[23:32]	<[kiri]Hans>	Oh hey there.
[23:33]	<[kiri]Hans>	The name's Hans. Hans McCartney.
[23:33]	<[kiri]Hans>	or as known as Einhander Hans.
[23:33]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Ah, right. Hans, was it? I see, I see--"
[23:33]	* [Nom]Alexis	stops
[23:33]	* [Nom]Alexis	drags Mary to one side
[23:34]	* [Gtz]Mary	is dragged, heels pulling along
[23:35]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"So this was it?! It was him ?! You've been keeping some...man?!...in this room?"
[23:36]	<[Gtz]Mary>	...
[23:36]	* [Gtz]Mary	looks very, very unamused.
[23:36]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Alexis. We just introduced each other. Oh wait, you're joking, aren't you? Ah, I get it now. Hey, you want to help me here?
[23:37]	* [Nom]Alexis	may as well be blind as well
[23:38]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"No, I get it, Mary. I understand everything. I'll help you with everything. A maid can do no less."
[23:38]	* [Nom]Alexis	pulls out her handkerchief and dries her eyes
[23:39]	* [Gtz]Mary	doesn't quite understand what's going on here, but she said she would help, so that's a good thing!
[23:39]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Ahem! Right.
[23:39]	* [Gtz]Mary	turns back to Mister Hans
[23:40]	* [kiri]Hans	scratch his chin and pick his nose. Nothing to do, dayum.
[23:41]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Mister Hans, are you hungry or anything? I don't believe the others trust you much over your previous engagements, so I don't think I'm within right to release you just yet, however we'll at least give you a meal or anything else you need.
[23:42]	<[kiri]Hans>	I could use some rations, yup. But the most thing I need now is I need to move my body. It's getting stiff down here.
[23:44]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Good to see that you enjoy this stuff as well, Mr Hans. Aren't you glad, Mary?"
[23:45]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Like I said, it's not my area of expertise. I wouldn't know how to get those off of you, anyway. You'd have to ask for Ludwig's permission and get Alexis to do it for you.
[23:45]	<[kiri]Hans>	Sorry, missy. If you are not a retard you should be able to tell that I'm not enjoying this. Not one bit.
[23:45]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Sure you are. You just haven't got to the good part yet."
[23:45]	<[kiri]Hans>	.......what?
[23:46]	* [Gtz]Mary	puts her hands to her hips and sighs.
[23:46]	* [Nom]Alexis	leans in to whisper to Hans
[23:46]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Chocolat, you brute? YES, I HEARD THAT."
[23:48]	<[kiri]Hans>	what? She's a delicious brownie chocolat. I'm not wrong on this. Sue me.
[23:49]	<[Gtz]Mary>	What're you two talking about?
[23:49]	* [Nom]Alexis	tightens Hans' restraints around the chest
[23:50]	<[kiri]Hans>	GAK!
[23:50]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"No, nothing dear. His libido is getting to him. Oh ho ho."
[23:50]	<[kiri]Hans>	WHAT? *cough* I'm just stating the truth!
[23:50]	<[Gtz]Mary>	...Libido? Oh! That reminds me.
[23:51]	* [Gtz]Mary	catches Alexis by the arm and pulls her close.
[23:51]	* [Gtz]Mary	whispers a bunch of stuff.
[23:51]	* [Nom]Alexis	's eyes widen
[23:52]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Oh? Oooooh! Got it. You count on me."
[23:52]	* [Nom]Alexis	winks to no one in particular
[23:53]	<[kiri]Hans>	I hope it doesn't involved me...
[23:53]	<[Gtz]Mary>	It doesn't. Very much so.
[23:53]	<[kiri]Hans>	cool.
[23:54]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"...It doesn't? Awww."
[23:54]	* [Gtz]Mary	turns back to Hans.
[23:54]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Now, if you behave yourself, I'll see what I can do about your restraints. However, if you keep bad-mouthing the people here, I'll just leave you in here to think about it.
[23:54]	<[kiri]Hans>	That was a compliment, dood!
[23:54]	<[Gtz]Mary>	[ew, that didn't come out the right way. oh well]
[23:54]	<[kiri]Hans>	Jeez!
[23:55]	<[Gtz]Mary>	"Retard" does not complement either I or Alexis. I'd prefer it if you didn't use that terminology. And if you do anyway, make sure I don't hear it, okay?
[23:55]	<[kiri]Hans>	Seriously, if you're going to lock me up like this just throw me into jail or something! I need to move my body!
[23:56]	* [Gtz]Mary	folds her hands together.
[23:56]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Please be patient.
[23:56]	<[kiri]Hans>	I AM a patient here, missy!
[23:57]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"And we have gags too, you know. Oh, won't you just love that one~"
[23:58]	* [kiri]Hans	sigh.
[23:58]	<[kiri]Hans>	Man, I got away from shitload 'o bugs just to meet another cruel fate. Woe is me.
[23:59]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Are we really that bad... Do you want something to eat or not? I've other business to attend to, you know.
[00:00]	<[kiri]Hans>	Yes please.
[00:00]	* [kiri]Hans	sigh.
[00:00]	* [Gtz]Mary	smiles.
[00:00]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Now that's more like it.
[00:00]	<[kiri]Hans>	Anythin's fine as long as it keep me full.
[00:00]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Alright, then. We'll be right back.
[00:01]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"...We will? Aww."
[00:02]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Oh, if you wish to talk further, then I'll go ahead myself. In any case, I'm gone!
[00:03]	* [Gtz]Mary	pushes open the door and leaves towards the kitchen.
[00:03]	<[kiri]Hans>	yeah yeah yeah. Go do your maid-ey stuffs. I'm gonna stay here and do my patient-ey stuffs too.
[00:03]	<[kiri]Hans>	shit sux, man.
[00:04]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Whatever turns you on."
[00:04]	* [Nom]Alexis	rushes out the door
[00:04]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Wait for me, Mary!"
[00:04]	* [kiri]Hans	chuckles.
[00:04]	<[kiri]Hans>	if I can use this right hand of mine, yeah.
[00:05]	* [Gtz]Mary	waits for Alexis.
[00:05]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Charming young lad, wasn't he?"
[00:07]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Quite. A feel a little sorry for him, though. He's lost a lot, and now he's in the care of strangers, some of which already don't like him... It's a scary, lonely feeling. It's how I felt at St. Anne's before coming here.
[00:09]	* [Gtz]Mary	speaks solemnly as she slowly walks along.
[00:10]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Your bleeding heart is going to get you some day, dear. He's just a barbarian."
[00:13]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Perhaps so. Perhaps not. People change, Alexis. Someone's got to forgive somewhere, or else it's an endless cycle of the eye-for-eye mentality.
[00:13]	* [Gtz]Mary	stops.
[00:13]	<[Gtz]Mary>	And I'm out on eyes anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.
[00:13]	* [Nom]Alexis	does not know whether to laugh
[00:14]	* [Gtz]Mary	continues. I guess it wasn't that funny...
[00:15]	* [Nom]Alexis	gives an ambiguous chuckle just in case
[00:15]	* [Gtz]Mary	smirks. Well, at least she humored me.
[00:18]	<[Gtz]Mary>	[so yeah. the kitchen.]
[00:23]	* [Nom]Alexis	thinks about what Mary said while cooking
[00:24]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"I'm glad there are still people like you these days, Mary. But there's no room for softness in this world. If you give, you'll just get abused."
[00:29]	* [Gtz]Mary	speaks while boiling some water
[00:29]	<[Gtz]Mary>	That's true enough. Compassion opens you up to the hard hearts of the world, and it does hurt. But, I think it's worth it, in the long run. Only with an open heart can you truly receive another.
[00:31]	* [Nom]Alexis	falls silent again
[00:31]	<[Gtz]Mary>	I used to be like that, but I got tired of how lonely it was. Things may not hurt as much, but it doesn't really matter if you already feel dead on the inside... So I opened up.
[00:32]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"You could probably have gone without."
[00:32]	* [Nom]Alexis	adds a bag of slow acting laxatives to Hans' noodles
[00:34]	<[Gtz]Mary>	I went without for four years. That was enough for me.
[00:34]	* [Gtz]Mary	adds some things and doesn't notice what Alexis has done
[00:34]	* [Nom]Alexis	is a helper
[00:39]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Well, enough depressing talk. I think it's done!"
[00:40]	* [Gtz]Mary	finds a few dry biscuits and pours a glass of tea, setting them on a tray along with the noodles and what have you.
[00:41]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"You spoil that man."
[00:43]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Hmm? It's not that much, is it? I bet he's pretty hungry.
[00:43]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Really, Mary, bleeding heart. Ah well, I guess it's your thing. Let's go."
[00:44]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Hm. I guess it is my thing, huh...
[00:45]	<[Gtz]Mary>	[etc etc, they return to the firm in mary]
[00:45]	<[Gtz]Mary>	[oh my!]
[00:46]	<[kiri]Hans>	[I bet that was intentional.]
[00:46]	<[Gtz]Mary>	[:|]
[00:47]	* [kiri]Hans	is staring blankly at the white ceiling, thinking about stuffs.
[00:48]	* [Gtz]Mary	enters.
[00:48]	* [Nom]Alexis	follows
[00:49]	<[kiri]Hans>	Hey.
[00:49]	* [kiri]Hans	notice the girls.
[00:50]	<[Gtz]Mary>	We're back. Hope you're hungry.
[00:50]	<[kiri]Hans>	I'd like to merrily wave my hand at you in joy, but too bad.
[00:51]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Oh, well I'm sure Alexis would appreciate the display.
[00:52]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Oh ho, it'd be comedy! But right now, it's YOUR LAST MEAL--I mean, lunch."
[00:52]	* [Gtz]Mary	stands aside, as blind kids do not carry trays of food containing really hot liquid stuff. Spillage is estimated to be over an 85% chance.
[00:53]	* [Nom]Alexis	sets the tray on a desk near Hans' head
[00:54]	* [kiri]Hans	can only look at it. Poor him.
[00:55]	* [Nom]Alexis	just stands there
[00:56]	<[kiri]Hans>	om nom nom. Tasty food. I'm so full, damnit. om nom nom.
[00:56]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Another job well done! Let's go, Mary."
[00:56]	<[kiri]Hans>	great.
[00:56]	<[kiri]Hans>	just.... great.
[00:57]	* [kiri]Hans	slump back into the bed. Ddesn't say anything after that.
[00:57]	<[kiri]Hans>	[*doesn't]
[01:00]	<[kiri]Hans>	Hey, missy. Do you have some cyanide so that I can kill myself already?
[01:00]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Don't encourage her.
[01:00]	<[kiri]Hans>	I mean... why did you keep me locked up like this?
[01:01]	<[kiri]Hans>	if you think I'm THAT dangerous. Just kill me. Throw me out.
[01:01]	<[kiri]Hans>	That's the way the wasteland is.
[01:01]	<[kiri]Hans>	That's the way I used to live.
[01:01]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Nah, we're doing it for your own good because you're obviously raving mad."
[01:02]	<[kiri]Hans>	You people, sitting your comfy ass in this secured fortress. You don't know my hardship.
[01:02]	<[kiri]Hans>	You don't know... how one have to be heartless to survive in a place like that.
[01:03]	<[kiri]Hans>	Such a nice place this fortress is, eh? While you live your life happliy here....
[01:03]	* [kiri]Hans	grit his teeth.
[01:03]	<[kiri]Hans>	People outside dies.
[01:03]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Oh, stop your self pitying. The world has ended and you're alive. The dead don't need your excuses."
[01:03]	<[kiri]Hans>	They died by lack of food. Lack of water. Lack of weapons to defend themselves.
[01:04]	<[Gtz]Mary>	We know that, sir. This is why we've afforded you its protection.
[01:04]	<[kiri]Hans>	THEN JUST GIVE THEM AWAY!
[01:04]	* [kiri]Hans	yell.
[01:04]	* [Nom]Alexis	raises an eyebrow
[01:04]	<[kiri]Hans>	PEOPLE! OUTSIDE! THEY NEED IT! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE!?
[01:04]	<[kiri]Hans>	YOU SELFISH BUNCH OF ARISTOCRATS!
[01:05]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"It's like he almost /wants/ to starve
[01:05]	<[kiri]Hans>	[*bunch]
[01:05]	* [Gtz]Mary	speaks quietly.
[01:06]	<[Gtz]Mary>	There is no one else outside, Mister Hans. You and Sam are all we've come across for months.
[01:06]	* [kiri]Hans	stopped dead in his tracks.
[01:06]	<[kiri]Hans>	.......wha--?
[01:06]	* [Nom]Alexis	puts a hand on Mary's shoulder to make her stop
[01:07]	<[kiri]Hans>	What do you mean....
[01:07]	<[kiri]Hans>	I mean, even I can still stay alive. The other should, too.... There must be a settlement that's strong enough to fend them off---
[01:08]	<[Gtz]Mary>	I mean exactly what I said. We do search for survivors. You are part of the increasingly few we discover. Please do not take that for granted. People risk their lives to bring outsiders such as yourself safety.
[01:09]	* [Gtz]Mary	thinks of Cerise as she says this. Oh Lord, why must it be...
[01:09]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"There's no use trying to explain it, Mary. It's gotten to his head. The master should just have put him out of it."
[01:10]	<[kiri]Hans>	Hey... I mean... damn... at least Samoa village should be intact... It still in good shape when I left the place... I know its coordinate... I can tell you where! Can you go check that place! There must be a huge settlement there! LIKE IT ALWAYS BE!
[01:10]	<[kiri]Hans>	Let's go to the map room right now! I'll point you the location! C'mon!
[01:11]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Samoa...
[01:11]	* [Gtz]Mary	bows her head.
[01:11]	<[kiri]Hans>	Jesus, please! Please go check that place out! I beg you!
[01:11]	<[kiri]Hans>	There's people... there's a lot of people there!
[01:11]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"If it makes you feel better, we took in a bunch of them before it had to be sanctioned."
[01:13]	<[Gtz]Mary>	...We've looked. I'm sorry, sir. There's nothing we can do.
[01:13]	<[kiri]Hans>	what... what do you mean there's nothing you can do?!
[01:13]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Wasting your breath, Mary. He'll never understand how lucky he is."
[01:17]	* [Gtz]Mary	sighs.
[01:18]	<[Gtz]Mary>	We do what we can, but our reach has faltered. Sole survivors are incredibly rare, much more so an entire township.
[01:19]	<[Gtz]Mary>	But I still think there's hope... We've yet to restore communication to other continents. Maybe it isn't so bad on the other side of the world.
[01:19]	<[kiri]Hans>	Hey, miss....
[01:19]	<[kiri]Hans>	So there's no one left in Samoa when you arrived?.....
[01:20]	* [kiri]Hans	hide his face from the two. His hair covering his eyes so you can't really see his expression.
[01:21]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Mr Hans, there was no one left in the /crater/ when we arrived."
[01:21]	<[kiri]Hans>	haha... so it was that bad.
[01:22]	<[kiri]Hans>	too bad, eh? After I left the place, it's been erased from the motherfucking world map.
[01:22]	<[kiri]Hans>	I'm pretty lucky there....
[01:22]	* [Gtz]Mary	bows more deeply. Her face is now obscured by hair and habit.
[01:23]	<[kiri]Hans>	So, miss... Alexis? If you please release my arm from the straps... I'd be helping myself with the food.
[01:23]	<[kiri]Hans>	I need food to survive. Even if I'm the only one left.
[01:24]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Oh? I thought luxuries like food were undeserved. I was sure that it was too good for you."
[01:24]	<[kiri]Hans>	Kind of pointless, haha. I wonder what's more painful... keep on living in this wretched world or....
[01:25]	<[kiri]Hans>	Whatever, miss. It's find. It's... pointless anyway... to keep on living.
[01:26]	<[kiri]Hans>	[*fine, drat.]
[01:27]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"By the flaming hells, man, angst on your own time. I have better things to do than to listen to you mope."
[01:27]	<[Gtz]Mary>	sigh... Hans, just eat your food for now. Alexis, please remove the bonds on his arm so he can eat. I've got matters to attend to with the master, and I've delayed enough already.
[01:28]	<[Nom]Alexis>	"Oh are you ever lucky."
[01:28]	* [Nom]Alexis	releases a single arm
[01:28]	<[kiri]Hans>	.....thanks.
[01:29]	<[Gtz]Mary>	Alright. I'm come check on you in a little, Sir. Please think about what I said, in the meantime.
[01:29]	* [Gtz]Mary	exeunts, or whatever
