Game 008 [Action] - Not Just As Planned

(( In which Kim lacks appropriate icons s-sob ))

[ In the early morning hours, standing roughly between buildings 36, 38, and 39, is a somewhat unfamiliar figure. Maybe you recognize those rainbow wings. Maybe that hair style and color looks awfully familiar. Maybe you can't see at all, what with it being really freaking early and still dark out.

But one thing's pretty clear: the figure standing there isn't a teen. He's an adult.

He raises his hands and closes his eyes. After a moment, he starts mumbling to himself. He didn't see anyone close enough around to hear him, but if you happen to, you might notice the translation keeps slipping. ]


... stablishing li... wer. Release con... cessitates spa... ting. Beginning scan.

CRACK!

[ A noise, loud enough to give you the feeling of being hit in the chest if you're reasonably close, echoes loudly around the village. Feel free to be woken up, investigate, whatever. If you manage to locate its source, you'll find an adult Joshua kneeling on the ground, clutching his head in pain. ]

Shit.

... Well! You shoulda seen the Game back in my day. And giving you a lift home wasn't exactly the first time I'd ever gone world-hopping, though I usually don't get stuck -- anyway, how's the head?

I've been in tricky spots and gotten out alright, and so have you. So we have to play a game handicapped. At least we've got a whole village of folks on our side.

No one's ever useless, J. Thought you would know that by know.

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Most folks can be useful even if they don't know they're helping. You just have to steer them the right way, trust they'll act according to their nature.

... Not the words I would've chosen.

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
All I'm saying the weak are still useful.

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
In some cases. A lot of cases. But they're still human.

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
So everyone's got a part to play. They all bring something new to the table, even the weak ones. And then there's all that stuff about mercy, empathy, valuing human life, but I know you too well.

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Don't see why we can't do a little of both. [ He grins, leaning against the counter. ] But, alright, the 'escaping' bit does take priority. Looks like we've ruled out the direct approach. That's progress.

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [ That smile fades somewhat, and he moves to get more coffee beans. ] Haven't tried testing my limits yet, really. Don't wanna draw attention, or deal with the backlash if I reach too far -- speaking of which, how's the head? You can stay as long as you want, 'course.

[identity profile] nattocat.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
At some point, sure. For now? I like it on the sidelines, where I can watch and work things out. More interested in collecting information than jumping into anything -- goin' on the offensive ain't my style, J.

Hadn't heard that. That's... useful. You might be onto something, actually.
