Kill 9 - Memory Theater

[deadliest6]

[The memory starts up with Kazuo running through the forest. Then...the following takes place. Naturally, it is all from Kazuo's point of view.

At the end, he turns to look back once before turning away again to head on down the road.]



[Kazuo looks at the memory with his head tilted.]

...Mm. A memory.


[ooc: Kazuo's memory is that chapter that I linked you to. Pretend it is from Kazuo's point of view. Also, I should note that there is a person dying in there and that the depiction of a head exploding is pretty graphic.

You have been warned.]

WHATEVER. You know, one thing I can be grateful for in all this is that this place's mind-prying tricks can't get to you.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

It is just a memory.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

One that'd bother a lot of people. Just... not you.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

It did not bother me when it happened as well.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Because nothing can really bother you, can it. Not even...

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

[This silence is him waiting for that sentence to finish.]

[She wasn't going to aloud. But since it does seem like a cue, and there's no point in keeping it to herself...]

...Not even dying...

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

Death happens to everyone in my world.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

But that doesn't make getting killed anything like normal.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

It was just a death.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Kazuo...

When someone dies like that--- gets killed... it hurts. A lot. Not just the person: the ones they leave behind too. Even those who killed them.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

It is unclear if there is anyone still alive.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

[She was speaking more in general terms, but...]

Last one standing wins, huh? So... someone must have won. Some victory.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

[Well...when those are the only people in his life who would be left behind...]

Perhaps.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

I doubt anyone ever makes it out of that in an okay state.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

We only ever see the winner.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

...Did you ever meet one? Any of those previous winners?

I doubt any of them was ever the same person after that. That's what I mean.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

The transfer student looked like a previous winner.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

...And he was dragged into that sort of thing again??

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

So it seems.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

[Her turn to go quiet for a long time! Interpret this as the hatred for that Program thing reaching unvisited levels, Kazuo.]

...sadistic sickos...

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

[Nope. He doesn't get it, Umi.]

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

[He will someday.

Only not ever.]

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should rest.

[It's ALMOST like he cares.]

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

[GASP!]

...Perhaps you're very right.

[She chuckles.] Who knows. Perhaps I'll even pay attention.
