The celebration

[srwu_mods]

"Hey guys, the place feels like a morgue today. Glum faces everywhere... someone died or something?"

Look who's back at Sakihama - FightSaber is in the hangar, and Loni is walking around the base corridors. He seems to be heading towards the kitchens, in search of cake and other festive foods.

"Me and friends just took down a big cell of those Good Men weirdoes, so I'm here to resupply. Our victory calls for a celebration, let's party!"

"Tact? He's the one who started lashing out!"

Loni stares at the caught pudding, puzzled.

"You're soldiers, right? You know people at wars die all the time. Why are you acting like it's my fault? I don't get it."

Time for double backup!

[Ken's not the only one backing Leos up here!]

And you're the one who came here uninvited, oblivious to everything else, and expecting us to just forget everything and act happy.

There's no reason for us to do anything for you.

"And it's my fault that I don't know what happened while I was gone, how?"

"I thought you'd like to be cheered up, but if you'd rather get pissed off at people for not knowing everything, then I'm off too."

Truly Leos has some great friends.

The only thing that would cheer me up right now is seeing you get flattened under someone's boot. Now hurry up and get lost...

[Leos rubs his face and flinches... yeah he sees a little blood on his fingers. Tastes some too.]

... Ken... Flit... thanks.

Its your responsibility to decide how you act both in ignorance and in awareness. And intent alone does not make everything right.

[Turning to Leos, Ken pulls out a bit of cloth, and tries to wipe Leos' mouth... before flicking him, as well.]

That's for turning it into a fight. Seriously man, you can get thrown in the brig for that.

[Ken should know.]

[kill_all_vagans]

Yeah. We'll just... throw what we can spare at him supply-wise and he'll be out of our hair then.

At least hopefully.

You doing okay?

[break_the_nine]

[Leos barely reacts to the flick and nods.]

Yeah... 'm sorry.

[The Raven just shakes his head.]

I mean...I just couldn't take it. People died like that and he walks in saying he wants a party... I just couldn't...

Just... felt too familiar in a bad way...

[tiger_ken]

...Familiar?

[Ken asks, as he tries to lead Leos off.]

[break_the_nine]

... Was a few days after he killed everyone...

[Yeah, with how he said that 'he' it was clear who he was talking about.]

The first bunch of people who arrived when the smoke cleared up. They weren't talking about helping anyone who was still alive or burying people or anything like that... They were just talking about making a profit... bulldozing everything and building all their stuff over over it all... they didn't care about everything that used to be there... everyone that used to...

[Leos tensed a little.]

They just didn't care. Everyone else's problems were just that. All they cared about was what they wanted... instead of that jerk's ego it was their wallets...
