[nope, Kiryu's not even going to bother being lazy today. he'll be showing up wherever Alastair is, maybe looking a little concerned.]

...Hey.

Hey.

[Kiryu briefly glances at his comm to make it clear that he had seen the post and it was definitely on his mind. then he shoves it in his pocket and walks over.]

How are you doing?

[action]

[hackeralastair]

M'okay. Until people start coming out of the woodwork to kick my ass, anyway.

[was going to shake his head and ignore this until you mentioned him by name]

Don't bring me into your pity post.

[Voice]

[hackeralastair]

Why not? I bet you're just itching for the chance to say 'I told you so' and tell me how much of a loser and a failure I am. Well, have at it. Fair shot.

[Voice]

[ceodragon]

Hmpf.

[hackeralastair]

No? All right, then. Don't say I didn't offer.

[and here's where he kicks himself for forgetting to filter from evil twins]

I'm not going to be subservient to it again. That part of my life should be over. And you're the last person I want to take any advice from.

you don't understand this power. you don't know what it comes from.

I said i was sorry and I mean it. I did a stupid thing to you. that's all you're going to get from me.

[hackeralastair]

Their what? Oh...right.

It's what this power does, I can't control it. All I can do is not use it.

[hackeralastair]

I don't want to. But if the stupid damn Major tries to assassinate me again, I'm not going to let him, either.
