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.]

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.

[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.

[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.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

[Mostly he just fails at understanding why she isn't doing the logical thing of resting.]

I am right.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

[You still have a lot to learn about this girl's capacities for fretting over people, Kazuo. Maybe you'll get fretted over eventually.]

You're too. Okay, I'll take that advice.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[soulofocean.livejournal.com]

Stay safe, Kazuo. Not you too. It's been enough

[And look at that: she's actually signing off to get some sleep!]
