[Game 11] Infosharing

[Team Orchid, when you get back to the car, Zoey lets you know that Lucia wants to meet back up to share information and findings.]

[Team House Exploration, shortly after you read the papers, you get a call from Lucia that she wants to meet up back up to share information and findings. A Crow definitely tries to come back with you and you might as well take him since you all just know he'll just follow overhead if you don't.]

[Team Lucia House IS ALREADY HERE]

[Team Office Exploration is... gonna get a call but is still investigating so yes]

[WHEN EVERYONE IS HERE:]

So. First, let's all tell everyone what we've learned and discuss it. Then let's put out any theories we have and try to figure out what we can learn from it.

..........

I was afraid of that.

[Rakes a hand through his hair, giving Hunter a sideways looks.]

And that an angelic artifact that strong, that made him back away from me and put his own safety on the line for wasn't something I wanted to hand over.

Well he has it now! That isn't how you tell a demon no, Shark! You don't bait him and refuse to back down until he looks about ready to eat you alive! You make another offer, idiot!

[Oh no, no more puppy stares, only bosskado now.]

Like you were?

Oh? Are you begrudging me for trying to save your sorry ass, now?

"Anything within reason"? Are you stupid, Hunter?

[Voice entirely calm and cold.]

Who wants to be saved by words that damn the person speaking them? Please keep that kind of thoughtless heroism to bad fiction.

Frankly? I don't care how or whether you want to be saved, I'm going to do what it takes. Stupid or not, damning or not. We were both lucky Kazuki was able to do what he did, but I was not going to let that bastard hurt you.

.........

[Has to break eye contact.]

I'm not entirely sure he could have. More than that, I was likely endangering the rest of you far more.

You were. But he was after you.

[Which is more terrifying in retrospect than it was at the time and it was still scary then. But being cold and angry kind of negates that.]

So you'd have bargained with him?

I would have.

[A slap is too girly and my punches are useless so grabbing the nearest heavy book and starting to beat Hunter with it if he can.]

[Congrats on inducing incoherent rage and violence this does not happen often.]

[he gets in one, two blows before Hunter grabs his wrists and hauls him back into his chair.

then breaks his grip on the book and tosses it across the room, for good measure.]

What the fuck?

[Not like. He can do anything about that. So. Back in his chair I guess.]

Just like that? A deal with a demon without thinking about it just to bail me out, you didn't even set real limits on your offer, you just... Walked into it! Self-sacrificing! What if he'd taken you up on it?

[Does not actually raise his voice, instead goes lower and colder, not hissing, but a chilly, frozen sort of anger.]

Just. Like. That. And if he'd taken me up on it, it would have been exactly that. A deal with a demon.

And you know? I think I've done the same for worse reasons.

That right then would have been worse reasons.

If saving you from your own fucking terrible decisions is worse reasons then you're more suicidal than I thought!

Who the hell is the suicidal one here?

He was bluffing, if you all had just stayed out of it...!

What? It would have all turned out fine?

Don't lie to me.

[Can I get in your face, lean in and smile cold as fuck? Will do that.]

We'll never know. Next time, mind your own business.

[...you know what

hauling Mikado up and slamming him against a wall, pinning him, too mad to be careful of how hard he's tossing him around.]

Why can't you just let me help you?!

[Okay actually, not responding immediately, because seeing stars and lights flashing. You are a little bit way too strong Hunter.]

...Ngh..!

[too caught up in everything to even register that, to notice exactly how tight his grip on Shark's forearms are, pressed up against the wall.]

Is it so hard to let go of your pride?! Is it that important to you?!

[Short, shallow breathing through his teeth. His voice has gone up an octave in stress, but still not raising in volume, in fact, might be a little softer as he muffles any further noises of distress.]

[Not sure his arms are breaking or not under that grip, it sure feels like it.]

[Yet his focus is oddly still on the argument, the anger. The pain is real and distracting, but for a wimp who isn't used to being in pain at all, maybe it is pride, but he's still angry.]

Is it so hard ugh! to trust me?

[Breathing rapidly.] M-maybe I am proud, but... aren't you? Do you think I want to see you... make a deal to bail me out of something I walked in on...? Don't scare me like that.

[Would say more but pretty sure Hunter is crushing his forearms and it's hard to focus.]

[back from discussing things and--!!!]

Hunter, stop, he's in pain! [grabs onto Hunter's upper arm]
