[A joke. It had all been a goddamned joke.

He's left with a handful of clues that may or may not be worth anything, another death under his belt, trauma, and a ruined chain gun for a joke?! His regain adds insult to injury; having his own glasses and makeup is nice, but what he had to go through to get it? It's too much.

And Jade? Where was Jade through all this? Droned. Droned by this place, or a stupid glitch, or whatever the excuse is now. He'd have overcome something like that, wouldn't have let some Mayfield programming keep him from acting. Not the Jade Dist knows. He can't let the man live like that, and he can't look at him brainless and nattering either. Something has to be done, and he can't confront the people responsible effectively.

Dist the Reaper has never been a very reasonable person.

MULTIPLE CHOICE. Dist can be found:

A: Skulking around Mayfield, seemingly looking for something, and not very happily at that. He's walking, which is odd, and looking properly exhausted; in addition, he's dressed distinctly plainly.

B: Leaving the park, spattered all over with gore and appearing no less angry than he was before; in fact, it seems more like active rage than seething plotting. You'll probably get screamed at.

C: At the bar, drinking what is probably too much, generally in the form of frilly cocktails. No, he hasn't changed, though he's made a token effort to clean himself up, and his purple lipstick is impeccable. You'll probably get screamed at drunkenly.]

(ooc: for what it's worth, even though jade is no longer played and is thus in the status of a normal drone(and will probably just respawn anyway), his old player knows. XD just covering my ass on this one.)

Why do you think I look like this?! It's what he would have wanted!

[He's starting to border on the hysterical, in that he's clearly breaking down. He turns to punch the wall of the building next to him, but only succeeds in scraping up the skin on his hands and yowling in pain.]

[Kira seems unsure for a moment, but she does end up moving over to try and grab his hand to keep him from swinging again]

Don't! You'll hurt yourself badly if you do that!


[ooc: As a note, react however you need to IC. I'm not worried about Kira getting hurt]

[Dist shoves her away and steps back, though to his credit he doesn't do anything more, cradling his injured hand and looking mildly stunned.]


I can't do any worse to myself than what's been done to me.

[She stumbles a bit, but catches herself before she falls down. Her face seems concerned, and gentle.]

There's no reason to cause yourself more pain... It won't solve whatever pain you're already feeling.

Nothing will! I tried, I tried and it didn't even make me feel any better. I hate it here. I hate it here!

I know... There aren't many people who like it here...

[Very slowly she approaches him, trying to reach out to stroke his hair comfortingly]

Come on... Try to relax... You aren't alone here.

Yes I am. Yes I am. Any of you could disappear, be ruined, hollowed out and filled with nothingness! It's happened to him twice now!

[He doesn't move away from her hand, but he flinches a little. His white hair is flecked with red in places.]

[Kira seems to be ignoring the obvious blood, softly stroking his hair]

Yes, I know... But, isn't it better than being alone all the time? Even if the people in front of you disappear, isn't it sadder to be without anyone?

[This time he shakes her off, backing away. His expression hardens.]

No. No, it's not. I've never needed anyone; being here has made me weak. I won't let that continue.

[Her own expression hardens slightly, but it's obvious her next words come from experience.] Not needing people isn't being strong. Needing people isn't being weak.

Every time, they've betrayed me or been taken from me or mocked me. Every. Time! I'll cooperate when I must, but it's they who need me. Not the other way around! I won't be their toy any more!

[Of course, he hasn't given her nearly enough information for her to know what he's talking about, but he blew past logic ages ago.]

[Even if she doesn't get it, doesn't have all the information, there is a side of herself that understands very deeply. So, despite her voice rising just slightly, there is no seeming anger; just firmness.]

Of course you're not a toy, but you are being a fool! People need each other, no matter how much they dislike the fact! Even if you're betrayed, or someone is taken from you, you have to get back on your feet! If... If you don't, then what good is it!?

What good is what? Other people? I'm done with them! My objective is what's important; once I am complete...!

[It's the mindset he thought he'd given up in prison, but old habits die hard. He has no clue that he's probably alienating a potential caring, trusting ally, but for being a man of science he's never been a man of reason.]

[Oh, Dist, you don't know this girl yet, do you? The more she's pushed, it seems the more she tends to be able to push back, especially when it comes to someone who obviously needs help. Her hand raises and she actually moves to try to slap him.]

Don't be an idiot!

[Dist stumbles back, a hand flying to his stinging cheek. He recovers quickly, though.]

You bitch!

[Dist steps forward to return the slap.]

I'm not an idiot! I'm a genius! Don't forget it!

[She'll take the hit with a yelp, and bite her lip, looking near to tears]

Genius?! If you were a genius you'd realize that you're just hurting, and angry and you need to calm down!
From: [identity profile] buildstherobots.livejournal.com
You don't know what you're talking about. You didn't know him! You didn't... didn't...

[He raises a hand to run over his face, then takes his glasses off. He doesn't have anywhere clean to wipe the blood off, though.]
From: [identity profile] infinitemars.livejournal.com
What don't I know? Someone you care for went missing it sounds like? I know how that feels. For someone to disappear.

Again. Again.

[He laughs, but it's not a pleasant sound, as he slumps down against the wall of the building he punched.]

I finally got my revenge on you, Jade! I surpassed you! I... I did it! I won!! Do you hear me?!

[Kira watches Dist, torn by what to do. How much of this seeming snap in mentality was a natural part for him, and how much just Mayfield testing his limits? She had really only met him the once, after all, so she couldn't know for sure. Still...]

[She moves over carefully, and again attempts to stroke his hair soothingly. This time, she won't say anything though.]

[Dist drops his head down, letting her pet him as she likes; it helps, even if he doesn't seems to show it much. When he speaks, it's quietly.]

...It would have been better if he'd just disappeared.

Instead of being droned. His mind reduced to what it is now. You didn't know him before.

He didn't leave on purpose I imagine... He didn't mean to hurt you.

No. They took him from me. I did this for him.
