and falling

[remem_b_er]

*Suddenly, where there wasn't one a moment ago, a man is standing. A B, specifically, though dressed in an off-green prisoner's uniform, with dirt under his fingernails, and with a certain gauntness to his face. He takes in his surroundings with a lazy expression, then frowns like something has occured to him

[Elle is on his way to the kitchen when he sees the man. For a moment, he thinks it's one of his alternates, but no: a brief perusal of the face says otherwise. Elle almost takes a step forward - B was a friend, in his world, after all - but he's been warned about the Bs in the Mansion and caution is generally better. When he speaks, his words are level.]

Hello. Did you just arrive?

[tickle_me_el]

Your world has experienced Kira?

[remem_b_er]

Yes, he's killing people.

[tickle_me_el]

Mm. For what purpose?

[remem_b_er]

Oh, justice.

[tickle_me_el]

...I see.

[remem_b_er]

Silly, isn't it?

[tickle_me_el]

I'm uncertain as to whether I'd label it so lightly, but, on the whole, yes.

[His words are wary.]

[remem_b_er]

How would you label it?

[tickle_me_el]

...I wouldn't. The acts should speak for themselves.

[remem_b_er]

The history textbooks should never speak of what happened? Or at least, use no adjectives?

[tickle_me_el]

I'm not sure what you're referring to, Beyond. I've never seen a history book try and pin down a war using 'silly'.

[remem_b_er]

I'll write one that does.

[tickle_me_el]

Will you?

[remem_b_er]

That's what I said.

[tickle_me_el]

I'll look forward to reading it, then.
