Kill 29 - Voice

[deadliest6]

Heads.

[That's Kazuo's voice followed by a moment of silence. Then suddenly there's the sound of a coin dropping to the floor before another voice comes on.]

For fuck's sake. [And that one is Katniss, the disgust in her voice clear.]



[ooc: So Kazuo and Katniss are orphans who are also amazing hitmen. They work together and flip a coin to decide who gets to do things. What did the coin decide this time?

Good question. You should ask them.]

So you enjoy that kind of childish gambling?

[The coin flip. ]

What were you deciding I wonder.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

[Pause then Kazuo talks to Katniss.]

Others heard.

[Back to person.]

This decision is fun too.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

If you didn’t want to be heard you shouldn’t have recorded it.

So, what kind of decision was it?

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

Whose turn it is.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

[Forgot how literal this kid was… ]

Yes, that is usually what a coin flip does. Whose turn it is to do what?

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

I will take this client.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I see. It is for work then.

Not the most professional way to decide, but if it is enough for you.

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

It's not childish.

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I suppose it is enough that you were able to come to a decision at all. I would hate to think there would be infighting with this team of yours.

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

Why?

Have an investment?

[Private]

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I might. You should talk to your partner.

[ Some time after conferring briefly with Kazuo... ]

How much were you planning to pay for this?

[Private]

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

It is a rather large job, so a grand per head. I know there are at least 15 men who frequent that place. If you managed to get them all you could make a good deal or money.

[ Katniss eyes the coin like she's trying to decide whether or not she thinks it's double-sided (magically, since she knows that the original coin at least had its proper siding). Walking over to one of the framed paintings on the wall of their current hotel room, she removes it, revealing a tiny safe, which she unlocks. ]

I'm flipping next time.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[It's not like he has a problem with that. Then again, Kazuo never has a problem with, well, anything. He heads over to his side of the hotel room to grab a bag so he can fill it with supplies.]

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

[ Inside the safe there's a false backing and only behind that is the payout from the night before - another high-pay kill, which means Katniss shouldn't even be complaining but that's never stopped her before. Shutting the safe with her elbow, she puts the painting back and drops onto the bed, spilling the contents of the tiny bag: diamonds, different cuts and sizes all of them.

Working with Kazuo is always easy because he basically never disagrees with her and Katniss having known him long enough for what little sense of fairness she possesses to kick in, they tend to flip for most jobs. ]

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

[Kazuo stops because there is someone contacting him. Naturally, he fixes the code to let her in on it if she wants the details then looks over at her.]

There is a job.

[aimandfire.livejournal.com]

[ Checking Kazuo's messages through her phone is something they can do - his to hers as well - and have been able to for a while ever since a mutual contact did them a favor.

After a second, she snorts and looks over at him. ]

We could do it. I'm not sure it's worth the risk.

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

[Kazuo tilts his head. He's never had an understanding of what is worth the risk and what isn't, after all. He typically lets Katniss decide that since he just doesn't care. If this were up to him, he would just decide whether or not to do it in a second without considering details.

So he watches her a moment.]

It is not?

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Throw again!

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

Why?

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Eh. Hitting the floor's an automatic disqualification, right?

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

Is it?

[aettir.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's different here!

[deadliest6.livejournal.com]

I see.

She will flip next time.
