tear down the wall! and Orthros no Inu 7
Monday night was College Night at the Museum of Science, so cadragongirl and I went. Saw an IMAX film about the Amazon; learned that my childhood ambition has a name and that name is Medicinal Ethnobotany. Good to know! Pink Floyd: The Wall laser show kind of interesting, kind of not.
That one part of La Vie Boheme makes a lot more sense now, though.
Previously on Orthros no Inu:
TACKEY: THIS IS THE HAND OF GOD.
ALL HELL: *breaks loose*
Orthros no Inu 7
HIKARU: AUGH GET YOUR HAND OF DEATH AWAY FROM ME.
RYO: Dude, if I was going to kill you, I’d have done it by now.
HIKARU: Huh? No, I just don’t want to get swine flu!
RYO: *eyeroll*
COP!KIYORA: What the hell were you thinking?
TACKEY: If everybody knows about my power, nobody can monopolize it!
TACKEY’S REASONING: *does not stop everybody and their aunt from trying*
BOMB GUY: Get Tackey here to heal everybody in the hospital or I’m blowing it up!
THE AUTHORITIES: Somebody get Tackey over here!
NOBODY: *actually knows where Tackey is*
CABINET MINISTERS: *look for someone to blame*
[Homeless Ex-Cop is being held for questioning in the Department of Back Story]
HOMELESS EX-COP: Basically? We’re all doomed.
THE AUTHORITIES: *do not take this well*
COP!KIYORA: Moshi moshi. Mio-chan! Are you being a good girl?
MIO-CHAN: Mama, I-
FORSENIC SENSEI: *grabs phone*
FORSENIC SENSEI: Get Tackey over here RIGHT NOW. OR ELSE.
COP!KIYORA: Um, sure. I guess.
FORSENIC SENSEI: I am glad you are being sensible. *hangs up*
MIO-CHAN: HEY. I wasn’t done talking to my mommy! I am starting to suspect that you might not be a nice man!
TACKEY: Yo, partner.
RYO: Stay away! I’ve got this one! I’ll find the bomb myself and defuse it with the power of my cheekbones!
TACKEY: This I’ve got to see. Come on, Cop!Kiyora, saddle up and let’s go!
THE HOSPITAL PATIENTS: *are bored*
SOME GUY: Tackey’s here!
RYO: What? [He’s checking the ceiling panels for bombs, and thus has his head stuck in a hole in the ceiling and has to look down to say his line, and it’s really cute. Me, biased?]
RYO: I am genuinely hurt that he doesn’t trust me to handle this!
RYO: *gets his wounded woobieface back on and it’s really cute too*
TACKEY: *is manipulative*
RYO: Oh, crap.
RYO: I’d better get back to finding the bomb, then.
RYO: Dammit. Where’s Gov’t-AU!Koyama when you need him?
RYO: *against all odds, actually finds the bomb*
RYO: Not good! Not good!
COP!KIYORA: I AM GETTING INTO THIS LOCKED HOSPITAL IF I HAVE TO BUST DOWN THE DOOR WITH MY BARE FISTS.
RYO: Tackey, what the hell is your problem? Look, just tell everybody you’ll heal them somewhere else and get them out of this damn hospital before it blows up!
TACKEY: I thought you didn’t approve of my power?
RYO: *pause* Look, I’ve just gotten over the swine flu and I know that being sick really, really sucks, okay? Would you just stop them having this horrible dispute already?
TACKEY: But-
RYO: Dude, I saw that scene in The Dark Knight too! It was cool! But this isn’t a movie!
TACKEY: *pouts*
[And then they are narratively required to touch each other, and it’s kind of hilarious, even though this scene is actually pretty good and deals with a lot of big thematic concepts. Or something. And I should stop trying to make insensitive swine flu jokes, because Ryo really does look ill. More than usual, I mean. Look, even though I love the guy to bits, I will be the first to admit that he usually looks like he’s dying of a slow, wasting illness. But attractively!]
RYO: I don’t suppose you know how to defuse a bomb?
COP!KIYORA: Why didn’t you just use your Hand of Death on it?
RYO: ...
COP!KIYORA: Oh, fine.
COP!KIYORA: Look, I’ve got the detonator! EVERYBODY BACK THE HELL OFF OR I’M BLOWING UP THE BUILDING.
[She triggers the detonator]
COP!KIYORA: Ahahahaha just kidding. I was top of my bomb squad class back in the day, you know.
COP!KIYORA: Also, the fuse wasn’t even connected.
RYO: Whoops.
COP!KIYORA: Moron.
[Tackey heals Formerly Comatose Student's mom, the one who got stabbed back in episode 3 or whenever. There is a touching family reunion scene. (Yeah, another one.) And then whole bunch of suits arrive.]
SUITS: You’re under arrest.
TACKEY: What for?
SUITS: Practicing medicine without a license.
ME: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
RYO: Waiiiiiit, I need at least another minute of angsting about my Devil’s Hand! I've got a quota here!
TACKEY: *talks about the balance of the Force some more*
RYO: Wow. How did you come up with all these balance-of-the-Force speeches?
TACKEY: Hey, I was in prison for ten years. I had to do something.
THE END
Next week: All hell breaks loose! Again! And there will be more family reunions!
In other news, I'm constructing a science fiction playlist to help me through my reading. It’s... pretty short. XD
