GLoG XIV: Where Bad Puns Go To Die.

[Reinholdt]

"Indeed." Reinholdt isn't sure how to take this. Happy shouldn't be happy now that he's gone. He shook his head and just watched, replaying the memories in his head.

[Darkcomet]

There's a knocking on the front door.

[Reinholdt]

Butler goes to open the door with his usual "Good day, sir. How may I help you today sir?"

Replace sir with ma'am if needed.

[Darkcomet]

It is DC.

Er... May I come in?

[Reinholdt]

"Of course sir. Come right in sir. Is there anything I can get you sir?" Butler steps aside, holding the door open for DC.

And sips on Nuka-Cola. That stuff's good.

[Darkcomet]

No, thank you...

He heads for the rose garden.

[Reinholdt]

"Have a great day sir. Call me if you need anything sir." Butler closes the door behind DC.

[happyturtle]

"There's so much I missed out on before my redemption. I didn't know how much everything meant. How good it is to be with good people." She's finished carefully removing a small rose bush from the earth. "This is an Emily Gray. It smells heavenly."

[Reinholdt]

"Hmm. Yes. Good people are great."

"Though every one will stab you in the back in the end. But I'll stop it." He'll think to himself quietly.

[Fan]

Fanboy glares at the author avatar, and promptly takes out his copy of final fantasy 9 re inserting it back itno its case before pulling out a PS3, and a japanese copy of FF XIII Verses from a adamantum safe in Hammerspace.
"Suck on that Valkyrie boy.

[Darkcomet]

And it's at this point that DC arrives. He was going to say something to Turtle, but then he sees Reinholdt.

Why is he still here?

[happyturtle]

"Hmm. Yes. Good people are great."

Turtle can tell (through normal reasoning, not spooooky telepathy, because she's only able to talk to people, not read their minds) that Reinholdt doesn't get it. "I know. I'm not making much sense. Nil could probably put it better. I just mean that... it's all worth it. The pain, I mean. It's worth it."

Then she sees Darkcomet, and makes the =O face when she remembers that Reinholdt wants to end the universe....

We're just talking. I haven't had a chance yet to talk about the apocalypse thing, but I will, okay? Just please don't start anything here.

[Darkcomet]

I wanted to talk to you about something, but I felt it just wouldn't be the same with an illusion or telepathy. But I can't do much with him here.

[Reinholdt]

"Worth it? What do you..."

Reinholdt sees DarkComet. "Oh. Hello again Comet." Keeping up the civil appearance.

[Darkcomet]

Cat.

DC's voice drips with contempt.

[Reinholdt]

"I have a name you know." Reinholdt doesn't actually care that much. He's too used to taking the abuse from Calublufiok who never uses his name if he can help it.

[happyturtle]

"It's sort of like when I got my memories back. A lot of pain came back with them. More than I thought possible. But if you tried to take those memories away from me again, I'd fight tooth and nail to keep them. The joy matters because of the pain we fought through to earn it." Turtle's aura is now projecting sincerity and earnestness, with some mild frustration that she can't quite put into words what she's feeling.

Sure, we can talk. Whenever you like.

[Darkcomet]

There's something you said before, about... Family? I think I'll wait till the cat's gone, though.

DC leers at Reinholdt.

[Fan]

Fan walks into the rose garden carrying a armload of poinsetta's stacked precariously high, and begins replanting them in the coservatory.
If anyone is willing to try the PS3 is still out there the game puased.

[happyturtle]

Turtle greets Fan with a hug and kiss that's a little too passionate to be appropriate when there are witnesses. "Isn't it awfully bright out here for you?"

To DC: Family is what makes it all worth it.

[Reinholdt]

"And when all your happy memories were pain in hiding, Happy? What then? What do you do when it turns out your lover was just using you?" Reinholdt thinks to himself.
Reinholdt then remembers she's not talking about him. "Wait. Is she saying she's alright with the pain? That she... doesn't want to be saved? Bah! She just doesn't know the horrors that await her to twist her happiness into utter despair. Everyone needs to be saved. Whether they realize it or not." Of course, no horrors actually await Happy that Reinholdt knows of.

Reinholdt considers actually saying something, but doesn't want to give Comet fuel to prod him with, since he's an insensitive jerk. So all this just goes on in his head. No dirty looks at Comet though. He's someone to be saved as well. That and Reinholdt's busy thinking to himself.

[Darkcomet]

Did I ever tell you that I thought my entire family was dead?

[happyturtle]

I'm sorry... I'm being insensitive, aren't I?

[Darkcomet]

Apparently I didn't... Well... It turns out not everyone died in that inferno.

DC maintains his leer at Reinholdt, but if you look closely, his eyes are starting to water.

[happyturtle]

That's good... right?

Then she starts to waver a little on her feet. "Oooh, I don't feel so good..."

Her eyes roll up in her head and she collapses.

((Deadtime. Feel free to godmod her to the infirmary or wherever.))

((Fan will be able to tell that she collapsed from UV poisoning.))

[Darkcomet]

The hell...!?

DC will telekinetically lift her up and bring her to the infirmary. He will not let Reinholdt in.

Also, he deadtimes as his player can't stay awake any longer.

[Boo]

Antony walks by the mainroom, jotting some things down into his journal. He closes it firmly once finished, and inserts it into his bag. After buckling it shut, he sits down on a chair conveniently in front of the PS3. He hasn't a clue what it is, but he stares at the screen. Thinking back on his time in this universe, he remembers reading about 'video games' and 'television'. Picking up the controller, he presses random buttons, unsure of what will happen. In one last attempt to work the game without just exiting the pause menu and whatnot, he clicks all the buttons at once, exiting the game. Rather confused, he tosses the controller onto the floor, and just stares at the TV.

[Fan]

Fanboy takes Happy to the infirmary being close luckily, and upon discovering that its UV poisoning.
"The HELL??"

[Reinholdt]

Of course, Reinholdt will try to get in, because he cares for Happy (He cares for a lot of people ). And as such, get extremely pissed when he can't.

Since he has to deadtime too, he'll wait in the hall outside the infirmary anyways.

[Fan]

Upon picking up the controller it will attempt to BITE Antony.
Fanboy takes extreme measures with his vidja games.
