foxicide | UWOOO BUZEN UWOOOOOWOW

[going to take that seat then, and nodding]

I’m in your debt.

So let me know what your price is whenever.

[buzen remembered.... softe.....]

You already paid the price when you let me cut you.

[buzen didn't let him -- well buzen was distracted and disassociating so it's basically the same thing,

healies for buzen!!! he'll feel as if he's been brushed by a furry sensation, and one of rang's eyes will turn gold, with a slitted pupil.]

[oh! he wiggles a little bit but only because - ]

Haha! Tickles.

[moron]

[BUZEN.... rang will heal him with the intention of making the scar go away!! go away forever!!! im not sure if it does but the intention is there im sure the mods will tell me if it failed or not

and as soon as Rang's done, he immediately slumps forward, narrowly avoiding spilling his drink.]

I'm not sure why it manifests like that... I understand my eye, but not the fur.

[he's not a real furry like the furry gous,]

You're a fox, right? Maybe it's like that.

[but buzen will just go to pick up another can of beer to match rang's and go to open it so they can have a drinky drinky

he puts a hand on his shoulder to try to help steady him...]

I'm sorry if it took a lot out of you. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

[tO AVOID GETTING HIT BY AN AXE? OKAY]

[TO AVOID GETTING HIT BY AN AXE BY YOUR INSANE AND UNHINGED TEAMMATE???? Even Rang gives him a look at that,]

You know, you're always apologizing to me.

[rang carefully straightens, but he doesn't shy away from Buzen's hand on his shoulder.]

It makes me think I should do the same, at the very least.

[ ? ]

Why?

[doN'T JUST ASK WHY WHEN RANG HAS TRIED TO KILL YOU TWICE EVEN AS TEAMMATES]

[BUZEN WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS]

I've only ever taken my anger out on you, both times with violence. And for things that weren't your fault.

[wow so self aware, rang maybe also apply to this all areas in your life,]

First because of the love curse, and then because you didn't lash out after what I told you yesterday. Instead, you just let me boss you around and then attack you.

You can take your anger out on me. It's not a big deal - I won't die from you.

[GIVEN THE FACT THAT HE HAS BEEN A VICTIM ON WEEK 2 TWICE NOW, WHERE EXACTLY DOES HE GET THIS CONFIDENCE

but he'll take a little sip of his drink as he shrugs]

The love curse was disorienting. I was probably the first target you saw, so it's fine. I can handle it.

And yesterday - you only acted out because you care, right? You want me to be angrier on my own behalf. [a thoughtful little pause, and he turns the can over in his hands] I don't really know how to do that.

But I know that what Libby-san said made me a little sad... so I appreciate you wanting me to speak up more. That does mean something.

[rang like maybe buzen is also insane like me but in a different way? wow, bonding...

...he looks down at his drink like he's not sure what to say. he'd rather just think of his actions as selfish and unhinged, because that's all he's ever been called his entire life (for good reason). he doesn't get where this understanding comes from,

but it's not the first time buzen has reached out to him in this way,]

You and D are bad for my ego.

[they keep validating him.... and in turn, rang wonders if he'll grow more unhinged about them, even when he knows none of this will last. that there will be an ending, soon enough. ...he takes another sip, thinks back on what he'd just said -- and recognizes that he didn't actually apologize? so.]

I'm sorry.

Bad...?

[he sounds a little confused, because he doesn't follow the train of thought, because he's an idiot. but when rang says sorry - buzen just squeezes his shoulder and offers up a smile. it comes with a fond little laugh.]

... I know what it means for you to say that, so I'll accept it. Apology heard, and you're forgiven.

[as easy as breathing]

But it'll be pretty embarrassing for me, if you're apologizing for showing that you care about me in your own way. So I hope you don't actually feel that sorry...

[now he just has to wait for matsui to kill him later,]

Ugh.

[UGH!!!]

That's not the part I'm sorry about. [it kills him inside as a local tsundere to admit that he cares, even in insane roundabout ways]

...I meant the part where I attacked you, even knowing what Matsui went through when you were gone.

[ihe really departicled and didn't process any of that,]

[funny.... buzen will just hide his grin behind another sip of his drink, and then shake his head at that]

It's okay.

Matsu will get it - he already told me he's not going to hurt you. He's... probably way angrier at Libby-san anyway.

So I doubt you're gonna be on his radar until he processes that.

[if he processes that,]

[matsui said he wouldn't hurt him............. he is sad....... T_T how do people show that they care for each other if they don't hurt them.... this is why he insanely attacked Buzen,]

No matter what I do here, there's always someone who's more hated than I am. I don't know if I like that.

[he just has to say it out loud? why does that happen? who is he... more importantly.]

...Did you tell him her reason? I got the impression that she didn't say it to him, after trial was over.

I did. [said simply,] Because Matsu cares about me more than I care about myself. And it's not that I want him to go fight my battles or anything... but it's the same reason why I tried to get us voted for when Rin died.

There are things that people deserve to know, when it comes to the people they love.

[like who chose to harm them and why. buzen isn't kind enough to protect people from the consequences of their actions. it's one of the few things that he thinks should always be known, if only because the shroud of mystery is worse.

it does make today taste especially bad.]

I don't blame people though... if they can't think the way that we do.

[That sentiment, after today's events, does ring sharper than usual. He can see just how awful this trial must be in particular for Buzen,]

Even if no one else understands, you still have each other.

[frankly, everyone else can mind their own business!! bye!!!!]

So let them think what they like. They'll accept the consequences for it, the same way we were forced to.

Mm...

[he agrees, and honestly buzen doesn't have a strong opinion on a lot of things. he's kind of a pushover. but this?

this he'll be steadfast on. he turns the can over in his hands for a moment,]

And what do you think about today, Rang? Our consequences. Theirs.

Hah.

[it's less of a laugh and more of an exhale,]

I don't think we did anything wrong. Frankly, I'm shocked that they didn't learn anything from the last two trials. They missed D because they didn't press hard enough during strip check, they almost missed Libby because we only checked her hands and feet.

If anything, I'm annoyed that our erasure has frightened them into trying to avoid voting for teams with three people.

[it just shows that they care!!! well maybe they should care less]

[ . . . well. buzen just shrugs a little bit at that.]

That's up to them. You're right - it'd probably pay to be a little more forceful, but everyone's uncomfortable. You just have to make a strong argument to get them to believe that stripping is for the better, or even just going into the bathrooms or something.

We don't even know if we're right... We won't know until Lam-san and Shen-san get here tomorrow. Maybe everyone's off the mark.

Some of them would have folded, if they were pushed in the first place.

[no one hounding the triguns hard enough annoyed him so bad,]

It would be funny if we were all wrong. [. . .] But out of all those teams Yuzuriha mentioned, I'd prefer if it was Justice or A Peace. I don't want to think of Sweet Theory killing again, even if Kyoko's behavior seemed suspicious at the end. She didn't even look that exhausted when we found Libby.

[he shrugs]

Or maybe it really was a poison psych again, and we were off the mark from the start.

If it's Poison again... that'd leave Yuneyuze and Froggystyle, right?

[and he looks. tired again at both of these options, sighing faintly as he runs a hand through his hair]

.... at this point, someone's going to end up getting the call if they haven't already. I'm guessing it's going team to team, and then people are taking erasures into their own hands on top of that.

I don't think I have teams that I'd prefer to be doing the erasing. I'm mad it's happening at all.

No one made Gerard or Ylfa strip either. Yuneyuze's injuries were at least examined.

[and if it was up to him, he wouldn't have forced ylfa to strip either, so he doesn't really have an accusatory leg to stand on.]

...I didn't mind the Game at first, but it's a different story when the choice to erase was never really up to us.

It's partially up to us. Yuyu-san got more points for her team than anybody else because she erased on purpose without waiting for a call.

[so there's that.]

... but yeah. Looking for who's making the call is part of what Night-san wants us to do, I guess.

Just for that, Yuneyuze deserves to win.

[stop no one deserves to win over killing!!! but rang is like at least she had the gumption. if only more ppl were like yuyu...]

How in the world are we supposed to do that. [GROANS] I don't see how things like roleplaying is helping us.

Missions can be weird. You kind of just have to trust the process.

Kuwa and I were sent to farm and build roads in an abandoned world devoid of all human life once.
