week 4, sunday

[haw]

[ wherever ray is hanging out on sunday (hopefully far away from the three curseketeers...), majima's approaching in what he hopes comes off as a casual manner... but it's kind of hard to do that when you're saying hi to the kid who helped you after you chopped off your finger the day before. ]

Hey. Uh... thanks, and sorry. 'Bout yesterday an' all that.

[ life is hard. ]

[selfimmolates]

[...]

Please don't dismember yourself ever again, especially in public. Thanks.

[haw]

Why are ya sayin' that like I wanted to do it?!

[selfimmolates]

[he sighs.]

Well, whatever. Bad luck for you, though I'm guessing the second time was with good intentions. ... Unless they specifically made you cut your finger off.

[haw]

Whoever it was made me obsessed with the idea of atonement. Not for anythin' in particular, just... in general. 'Course, I was already feelin' pretty shitty about everything, so when I got hit with the curse, my messed up brain decided to "repent for my sins" in the most extreme way it knew how...

[ beat ]

If ya didn't already know, the yakuza is kinda fucked up.

[selfimmolates]

I've read a bit about it in books.

... But congrats. I think you've probably traumatized whoever did that to you too.

[haw]

Then maybe that'll get people to stop fuckin' with me!

[selfimmolates]

Blame Newt.

[haw]

Trust me, the bastard's real goddamn lucky I was unconscious for the last half hour.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, I'm glad for that, seeing as how we had enough people trying to kill him in the last ten minutes.

[haw]

Well... can ya blame 'em?

[selfimmolates]

No. Still frustrating to deal with, though.

[haw]

Fair enough...

So, uh... where'd ya learn to be a combat medic?

[selfimmolates]

When both skills were needed back home? They kind of go hand in hand.

[haw]

Yeah, but it's still impressive. Mizucchi told me ya took point takin' care of me after I woke up.

[selfimmolates]

Jude was occupied.

[haw]

Wha—did someone else fuck themselves up after me?

[selfimmolates]

What? No. I mean, not unless you count Oda. Jude was out investigating—you know, like what we're supposed to do in trial.

[haw]

Ya gotta forgive me for bein' a little, uh, occupied to be in the right mindset for investigatin'.

[ hold up ]

Wait, what happened to Oda-han?

[selfimmolates]

Oh, I shot him.

[haw]

YA WHAT.

[selfimmolates]

[he holds up his hands. easy!!]

He was about to kill Newt! And we still needed the asshole alive to vote for!

[haw]

[ he does simmer down, but......... ]

How the fuck someone hasn't died of shock or a heart attack yet, I'll never know.

[selfimmolates]

It wasn't that shocking...

[haw]

Ya know what, yer right. Someone gettin' shot by a kid with a rifle when multiple people are tryin' to kill a single dude with, what, ten minutes left in a death trial ain't shockin' at all.

[ is he serious or sarcastic, you'll never know ]
