Event/Infection from Nemesis 8_dressing

[dangerouscience]

The room was fairly dark and Ema felt compelled to keep it that way for now. She had shuffled herself against the wall and sat on the floor. Eyes wandered down to her ankle that had an unusual blemish that use to be a reddish color, but was more of a blue and purple color now. Her skin had paled quite a lot, perhaps even more so than how Joshua's

LATE IS LATE *crai* (I'm home in a few hours though. Posing at lunch baw)

[Zero hears the shot and, well, there's very little that gets in the way of an angry Maverick Hunter that's just keyed in on the sound. He basically dashes in out of nowhere and takes in...

the whole thing.

A girl dead on the floor, bleeding. The smell of a gun. Who's holding it. The look on her face..

He whirls around and makes a furious grab for Joshua by the collar, and if he gets hold he'll lift the 'god' right off the floor.]

WHAT DID YOU DO.

[cantplayfair]

[This is perfectly normal for Joshua. Go ahead shake him, yell at him, do what ever you please he's just going to smile right at you. Because Joshua is an expert at pissing people off.]

I'm quite sure you can already tell what I did to her Zero. No need to ask such an obvious question.
[Joshua you jerk don't make the situation worse]

[final_number]

Shut your mouth and do something.

[That tone very few people get to hear and remain standing after. Zero's body is cold, hard, and resolute. He brings Joshua to within biting distance, glowering with outraged blue eyes.]

Drives Ed did not eat me I swear 8|

[cantplayfair]

So you want me to bring her back to life then?
[Joshua is not intimidated in the least if anything he's challenging Zero, daring him to do something.]

[final_number]

[Zero's teeth grit.]

Does it look like I want her dead?

[cantplayfair]

Hmm, it looks more like you'd rather punch me than that.
[Stop being a smart ass.]
I suppose I could try and revive her, but I make I don't know if she'll simply revive as a zombie or be human again.

[final_number]

[Zero rather callously releases Joshua then, lips curled back from his teeth. Gee, it's not as if seeing a girl he knows murdered in front of him sets off any issues or anything...]

You claim to be some kind of god. So do what a god's supposed to do and bring her back. Show mercy. Or are you just another joke claiming to be all-powerful and really just a selfish monster?

[Wow, who knew Zero could even GET so worked up?]

[cantplayfair]

I am a god, unfortunately I can not be as...affectionate as the others. I have to keep a balance when choosing who should be brought back, even my friends.

Of course who cares about the stupid God who must monster who can only take things and not give back because he killed his friend out of mercy and because she would have hated herself if she turned and infected someone else.
[Joshua's voice rises a little bit at the end of that. But catches himself and calms down.]

I'll revive her, but I take absolutely no responsibility for what ever monster she might become. If that happens, you two can killer her.
[And with that Joshua restores Ema's Vibe back to what would be considered 'Living' though if she comes back as a zombie, you're on your own.]

[final_number]

Sorry, pal, that sob story doesn't cut it with me. I know what it's like to kill out of 'mercy' and you know what? I would TAKE IT BACK, every last one of them, if I had the power to. Pardon me if I can't relate to the problems of a god.

[He turns and goes next to the body, crouching. A shiver running up his spine as he kneels beside Ema. The look on her face.]

[cantplayfair]

[Maybe Zero can hear Joshua chuckle, oh yes he loves it when stand up to him. Oh he can't wait to tell the Angels this once his higher ups demand to know why he's revived some person who hasn't even completed the Reapers Game first Day.

"The Robot made me do it."

...
What no Joshua doesn't enjoy pissing off the higher ups, you're crazy.]

[final_number]

[Zero carefully lifts Ema a bit in his arms and looks down at her, now attempting to tune out Joshua.]

I'm sorry.

Post fail D:

[dangerouscience]

It felt like a part of herself was being ripped right back into reality after being pulled out not too long ago. Her chest rose up slowly and a breath escaped her her lips. Her head was leaning back, once her eyes slowly opened and rolled back into light. A blank stare was made from the woman, as she didn't move.

"..."

Re: Post fail D:

Ema...

[He looks down at her, trying to see what's happening more clearly. He moves his hand to cradle her head and keep it from rolling back against her neck.]

Can you hear me?

[dangerouscience]

Eyes tried to focus more clearly on her surroundings. The sound of a familiar voice rung in her ear. Her body still felt very cold.

"...Z..ero?"
She didn't understand. Didn't she die? He shouldn't even be here.

[final_number]

Yeah, it's me. Don't move too quickly. Just rest. You've had a bad time of it.

[That's putting it lightly, Zero.]

Your friends are here. Take as much time as you need.

more fail post thanks chibi 8V

"Friends...I don't...nnngh..."
It was hard to think exactly what was going on. It wasn't making sense, then again it could have something to do with the bullet that went straight through her forehead.

A tired look to his face before she gazed over to see Watanuki and then..ah wait, where was Joshua. It didn't seem like he was present.
