Unit 1 - Video

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face. Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's ( Read more... )

...

[Wait a second.]

[If you think about it, it's less self sacrifice then actually fulfilling what he was designed for. He got to play his executioner role, it's just that he managed to switch the target from Jr to Yuriev.]

I closed my eyes and I was here. I don't think there was time for me to 'go' anywhere.

rodeospike November 5 2011, 05:47:40 UTC

Weird. [If he recalls, same thing happened to him as well. Though, he was curious, because Gaignun didn't exactly go alone that day.] ... Is our idiot Father with you? Or do we have a field day?

namedforcat November 5 2011, 05:49:21 UTC

He is not here.[Oh he despises daddy right now you have no idea.] I assure you I am completely...alone on my head.

[Gaignun has mixed feelings about this. Yes Yuriev isn't riding sidecar, but he also doesn't have that comforting link to his brothers either.]

rodeospike November 11 2011, 22:05:35 UTC

Good to hear that, Gaignun. [You have no idea how much UNSURE that caused him, upon seeing Gaigunun's face.]

Say, where are you? We should meet up for old times sake.

namedforcat November 11 2011, 22:07:10 UTC

The hotel. I've already gotten a room. It's not as nice as home but it will do for now. [He has to smile a little bit.]

Free cookies too.

rodeospike November 11 2011, 22:25:55 UTC

They never gave me any cookies. [Those cheap bastards.] Mind meeting in the lobby? I'm at the hotel, too.

namedforcat November 11 2011, 22:27:53 UTC

I'll bring some with me. [He had charmed them from one of the hotel clerks, habit taking over.]

I'll see you there then. [This was going to be an odd conversation, he knew it. But better to do this face to face then through a telephone line.]

[Jr. couldn't believe what he just saw on video. It's too hot for tv How could Gaignun be here? It was unbelievable to him. Pleasant, but unbelievable at the same time. After all, the man had died in front of him, and Jr., even after all that time, still couldn't bring himself to stop grieving, even if it was in secrecy.

Though, now wasn't the time to dwell in memories or turn back. His body was already set in motion, and running through the halls of the hotel until he reached the lobby. Eyes observing his surroundings to see if they could spot a stupid little brother before Gaignun could spot him.]

[Action] namedforcat November 11 2011, 22:34:55 UTC

[Admittedly Gaignun had really taken the cookies with him so he'd have something to fidget it with. He slowly made his way down the stairs, a sharp eye out for either bullets or red hair. Which ever he met with first.]

Jr...? [He looked around, not quite seeing him yet.]

[Action] rodeospike November 11 2011, 22:38:19 UTC

[Whipping around at the voice, Jr.'s eyes finally caught unto the little brother. Looking the same as he normally did, which was a good sight. A very, very good sight.] Hey, Gaignun. Long time no see.

[Action] namedforcat November 11 2011, 22:39:55 UTC

Ah, there you are. [He gave his older brother that half quirk of a smile that he liked to use and tossed him the packet of cookies.]

As requested. Don't eat them too quickly...

[Action] rodeospike November 12 2011, 00:10:52 UTC

[Catching the bag of cookies made Jr., again, think back at several memories that flowed into his head. This was a normal thing, back then.] Yeah yeah...

[Dismissive handwave, followed by a sheepish smile. Though, if anything, that smile was more of a cover-up from what he was feeling. He just didn't know what to say to Gaignun right now. Words, or actions?]

[Action] namedforcat November 12 2011, 00:15:24 UTC

[His hand remained outstretched from the throw for a moment, as if reaching out for Jr. before he lowered it slowly. Words or actions indeed. Gaignun was not sure as to what to do next.

Dealing with Albedo had been easy, the white variant had just waltzed in, made his displeasure known and then they could move on. But he knew it had been harder on Jr., much harder.]

I'm sorry. I couldn't think of a way to get a better outcome. [Fine. He'd make the first overture.]

[Action] rodeospike November 12 2011, 01:07:36 UTC

[Seeing how close they were over the years, it wasn't easy seeing your brother disappear and sacrifice himself. No. Not easy at all. Perhaps, that is why Jr. finds himself looking away when Gaignun speaks. He wanted to be calm during this. Very, very calm.]

Why didn't you say anything before?

[Action] namedforcat November 12 2011, 01:11:55 UTC

I couldn't. Father would have found out and it all would have been for naught. [Gaignun would not admit that knowing he was going to die made it easier to tell Jr. about the executioner role he carried, it was so freeing to tell the truth when before it would just stick in his throat.]

I was lucky he was too arrogant to even realize it was possible.
