6th Magic Bullet - backdated to Friday after school (action for Lust)

[drank_the_milk]

[Yuna's been wrestling with that letter all day long at school, and has finally decided that it's not worth the risk of losing her father, the one person she cares about more than anyone in the world.  She was utterly silent about it in front of her housemates, and quietly slipped the two guns Garviel had gotten for her into her backpack that morning before leaving for class.

After school lets out for the day, Yuna heads outside with the other kids but hangs back just to the side of the entrance until most everyone is gone.  She's waiting for Lust, her target.  She wouldn't have known who it was at all if not for the fact that she's one of the teachers there.  Her guns are badly hidden in the pockets of her shorts as she waits for her target to show up.]

SORRY FOR THE LATENESS OH MY GOD

[ Lust apathetically walks towards her home. With the town plunged into chaos, it is rather hindering in her progress. Her report was to check on Edward, check on her target in case she would need to kill him, check on Edward's target, then return home. She wasn't concerned with her safety and more concerned that they know her actual name.

She knows she shouldn't be out constantly, though, and the reports of blood shed definitely are a confirmation of that. She's admittedly a bit curious as to who got her, but she doesn't even suspect it'd be Yuna.

In fact, she'll almost walk right past her. ]

[As soon as Lust starts passing her, Yuna pulls out her guns.]

F-freeze!

[She's got two pistols pointed straight at the homunculus. It's pretty clear that she's worried about this. That's definitely not killing intent in her eyes.]

[ Lust will do as she commands. She stops in her tracks and turns towards Yuna. She sees the fear, and the lack of drive, but she does nothing to further hinder it.

Collected, Lust will just voice herself, in a slightly teasing way for the high school student.

She's already piecing together what is happening. ]

Problem, Miss?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I... I'm sorry, but I have to do this.

[Her voice and her hands are shaking by this point, but she keeps the gun aimed at her target.]

[ Lust simply moves her hand, collected as ever, and pushes her hand, and the gun down towards the floor. The gun keeps itself pointed at the ground, and Lust, none the more apathetic, just looks at her ]

My, my, you should really work on your grip.

You really think this town would bother to pay attention to us? We're being used for their amusement. The letters are all the same, and are only customized to where it'd involve us. The town can also produce stimuli at random. So they can simply make you hallucinate that the person died, or your possession is back.

I don't care about getting my stuff back! I just need to keep him safe! What if the town isn't lying to us? How do you know? How can any of us know?

[Still pointing the gun at the ground. Rapidly losing her nerve.]

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

We don't, and that's the point of their entire game. They're hoping in the uncertainty and chaos that results from events, that people make the foolish mistake of killing one another.

If you kill one another, you separate a bond and therefore it makes it that much harder for you to get out, because others won't trust you. Unity is required for us to leave.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

If they kill my dad, there's nothing for me to go back to anyway...!

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

[ She's still calm as ever ]

Is your Father here? If he is not, I don't think you should worry that much. This town is just making an illusion to taunt us into killing each other and dividing us.

It's a tactic I know very well.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

But the town brought me here, why couldn't it bring him too?

sorry for the lateness, I had finals

They seem to come in a certain period of time that is separate from the ensuing chaos. Like a timely schedule. Your father should be safe. Until we determine the screening process for one of us lucky candidates [ bitter, bitter sarcasm ] we can assume that it'd be highly negative in terms of chances that a person from home showing up would be exceptionally low.

[Yuna seems to be mulling this over. She still doesn't look entirely comfortable with it.]

I guess that's a good thing...

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I will not let your Father become endangered.

[ simply because she can't really be fucked to fight Yuna right now! ]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

There's probably not much I could do about it even if they brought him here anyway.

[justifying, justifying...]

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

I don't have any regains, but I do have combat experience. He'll be fine if he arrives.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

...All right.

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

[ And so she goes walking off.

Well, that was an interesting experience. ]
