VOICE

Jan 05, 2011 00:33

Liquid's British accent is hard to place, although the cool tone of his voice is reminiscent of a Bond villain. His words are sharp and he sounds a little disoriented.]

One minute I'm about to pilot a giant robot and the next I'm back here. Again. What was the point of that? Why sent me home for such a short time and then pull me back?

Liquid? [There's a hint of disbelief in his voice, and something faintly desperate, but mostly... Well, it's difficult to say. Kadaj's emotions were even more all over the place than usual, recently.]

[Well, he wasn't expecting that, but he'll take it. And after a moment's hesitation, he'll hug back, a little awkwardly, and really more of a cling than a hug. Since when did he get so attached to you, Liquid?]

You went home?

If you can call it that.

[You are very lucky he is now used to physical contact. He's not even surprised.]

I did.

[He pulls back slightly to frown up at Liquid.]

What happened? [Did you die? No, somehow he had the feeling that Liquid would be a lot angrier if he had.]

Nothing of note. [He is loathe to admit it to this one.] I simply... went on as before.

[Hint.]

[Oh bugger it.]

I didn't remember... anything.

...Nothing?

[For a moment he just stares in disbelief. Liquid had forgotten him, and in a way that made him angry. But more than anything, the idea was... terrifying. If he returned to his own world (Was it even possible? He'd died, after all.) would he forget everything, too?

Letting go of Liquid, the turns away and heads back to his motorbike without another word.]

Kadaj, wait-

[Liquid follows him, grasping his arm to halt him.]

I didn't exactly do it on purpose.

I don't care. [And he'll make a kind of half-hearted attempt to pull his arm free.]

Dammit, Kadaj! Don't be angry with me.

[Liquid refuses to allow it.]

I'm sorry.

I don't care. [Almost a snarl.] If you forgot everything-

...Tch. Let go.

I remember it now. Listen to me, I had no choice in the matter!

[He doesn't, instead hugging the smaller man tightly.]

Make me.

[He tenses a little, but he's not going to fight it.]

If you forgot everything, nothing is going to change. [Liquid would just die as though he'd never managed to surpass his brother. And what did that mean for him...?]

...I won't let you go back again. I won't let anyone go back.

...alright. But how do you plan to stop it?

[Liquid sighs, nuzzling Kadaj's hair without thinking.]

There must be some way to overcome it. I will not allow anything to toy with my mind!

They're idiots if they think they can toy with any of us.

[Leaning against Liquid a little. This was oddly comfortable.]

The Core. It brought Yazoo here, and you... I almost had it before, but there are people guarding it who stop your powers from working. They don't want anyone else to have it. That won't be enough, though.

That they are.

[Liquid smiles, relaxing.]

Then use those that don't rely on powers. It's possible to overcome that with strategy.

...wait, if they stop your powers, how did you manage it before?

...I had help. [He'll admit it. But only to you. 8\] The Joker. Mm... I think that's a codename, too. He wore a mask and used smoke bombs to lure most of them away. There was only one that followed me in the end. He died. [A shrug.]

I had to leave because- [Because he'd not done great in that fight himself, and that one guard had dragged him back above ground and away from the Core before he'd died.] ...Because the police were coming. But I'd almost got it.

[A pause, and a frown.] They won't be so stupid next time.
