i don't want to survive, i want to live

Who: Yes
What: Movie Night + Slumber Party 
When: 9/11, Saturday Evening
Where: Dorm Common Room 
Warnings: A ridiculous amount of Fluff, probably

( it starts out small. a need for comfort food, and a need for something heartfelt but silly and fun, something genuine and kind. ... and, well, she did find a weird. bootleg vhs set of her favorite movie series, hamster space wars. but the dorm is only barely furnished- and it's not like they can just go out and buy a tv or anything. honestly she completely doubts there's even anything beyond the woods. but she remembers a teacher playing the thing and other stuff in the first month of all of this. 

it's so long ago...

but there's a television and a vhs player in the school. and nene... nene's tired and sad and is currently out of fucks to give, so at some point in the day, after everyone else has left, nene has returned to the school and, uh. "borrowed" both things. it's fine. they just have to get it back in by sunday evening. don't worry about it. like, it's definitely heavy but she's a tough cookie who tills soil and everything, and also sara and noah both witnessed everything and are accomplices by default, so they had to help carry things too. 

(they were completely happy to help on both accounts, she asked very nicely.) 

so the "borrowed" television is set up across from one of the larger couches, and the vhs on top of it. she had cookies in the oven, donuts and hot chocolate made and popcorn popped. the common room paintings are covered with sheets of cloth. all that was left was something cozy- but at this point, nene's made so many little cushions and blankets and even cozy pjs that that's super easy. all that was left was letting anyone who wanted to come know too. so at some point in the halls, nene walks down calling out: )


Cartoons in the common room! Bring blankets and stuff! 

( and, so everyone knows what their characters are getting into: hamster space wars is a movie series about different factions of hamsters that have been trying for cross planetary peace for ages now, with a villainous faction having sabotaged the final negotiations so they can control the war from the shadows to make the most money and also get the most seeds (Very Decadent). the first movie follows the main hamster and his little group trying to escape the villains after having witnessed the sabotage, and are trying to avoid assassination and end the war for good. the sequels follow allied factions, with hamster galactic wars being the Thrilling Conclusion. 

it's heartfelt. it's silly. it's very cute. nene loves it. )

[ Well, that's easy -- ]

Of course I am. [ The ghosts he's encountered have left him numb. He's been forced to witness a woman having her child robbed from her, see the beheading of sibling, catch a glimpse of a girl being tortured by his father --

He hated all of it. Hated that he was forced to stomach all of it, just because if he didn't he'd be left unaware and further away from his goal. ]


I'm scared of dying.

...Because of ghosts? Or because dying is scary?

[ Dying seems like something most people are afraid of. Hearing it from Akira is still unexpected. It feels like too simple a fear, but maybe really fearless people are only scared of simple things. ]

You put yourself in danger a lot for someone whose scared of that.

Ghosts aren’t so bad. You kinda numb yourself when the one with a katana doesn’t manage to kill you. [ Killer Peach was the most aggressive out of them — the most sensitive, more likely to strike than the rest. But honestly that isn’t saying much. ]

The concept of dying isn’t scary, either, it’s just… I spent all my life fighting. Everyday. Even after going through a lot of tough shit, I managed to survive it. So all I want is to get through this and try living a normal life.

Katana...

[ They stand quietly while he talks, so Akira had done a lot of fighting too. But he was brave while Crona just got scared. It's because...he wants a normal life, right?

What's a normal life?
]

If you spent all your life fighting...what would a normal life be? What would you do?

[ That… is a good question, but he seems to only pause briefly with a faraway look on his face before he answers; honestly. ]

If I keep going the way I’m headed, I’ll probably be killing people for a living. Whether they deserve it or not, I would learn not to care, and it’d stay that like that until someone shot a bullet through my head. I guess.

[ He looks away sheepishly. ] So the opposite of that.
radnarok: (um bitch?)

And...killing people for a living is bad, right? Not caring about that...do you think thats hard to deal with?

[ Their own feelings on killing are muddled and vague. It's wrong but the why eludes them. ]

Hm...the opposite of killing people is making them not die. So I guess to be normal...you'd have to become a doctor Akira.

I mean I know a guy who's probably gonna be doin' just that.

[ He won't mention that that's his best friend. Leave him alone. ] There's some fucked up people out there who can just kill without even hesitatin'. Basically just treating another person's life like it ain't shit... those kinda people make me sick.

[ But that last part, he quirks a brow. ]

Do I look smart enough to do that?

Oh? Is he going to be "fucked up", then? I used to be really good at not hesitating. I think I might be fucked up.

[ They won't judge you or your friend for killing people for a living, but it doesn't seem like something Akira wants, so maybe he just shouldn't do it? ]

Um...I don't know? I haven't met many doctors, but how hard could it be? If you work super hard, maybe you can become one. Or just help people in a different way...like..

[ Thinking hard. ]

Becoming a firefighter!

Don't say fuck. [ Only he can say fuck in this Christian household. ] But yeah, honestly? You just might. [ No hesitation -- but this is coming from one fucked up kid to another, so they shouldn't take it as an insult. ]

I appreciate the effort, but I'll figure it all out on my own.

[ Hyper independence; Akira's father abandoned him and his mother, who soon went down a depressive spiral until her health took her, and then was left with nothing. The warmth of her love was always absent, always sad, and though she was never bad to him in particular she was irresponsible. He learned to work for himself at a young age, noticing that during bad days she wouldn't get up to eat and he'd be left to fend for himself.

A doctor? A firefighter? Those are all people who can achieve those goals thanks to money. He can't even come close to any of that -- especially when he's got a track record of petty crimes stretching out from when he was a child. ]


Anyway, you got the truth outta me... so ain't it my turn to ask you? Truth or dare?
radnarok: (25)

[personal profile] radnarok 2021-09-27 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
But you said it!? I know what it means, you know!! [ No fair how come only Akira gets to swear. Crona could swear if they wanted they know the Bad Words. ]

It's ok, I don't know a lot, so I'm sure you can handle it. [ Likewise they don't take much offense to being fucked up. They're just weird and different, but Akira's a bit weird too, so maybe thats fine, they can find a way to be happy. ]

Ohhhh. Um. Truth I guess? It only seems fair. Unless you had a good dare in mind.
