Well, that was a monumental failure.

Try to shoot yourself or something?

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

No, it was an accident.

[monotone.]

[menace.livejournal.com]

Sure it was. I could always lend you a hand.

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

I don't need an inspirational talk and I don't need any more drugs.

[menace.livejournal.com]

What, I can't make the job easier for you?

[waves around his gun like it's nothing.]

[divinelunacies.livejournal.com]

[well that's interesting.]

You should take better care of that.

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

My clothes? Yeah, probably.

[divinelunacies.livejournal.com]

No; those are easily replaced.

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

[that's different. he's used to his mom constantly complaining about his 'lack of respect' towards the clothes she picks out for him.]

You're different from usual.

[divinelunacies.livejournal.com]

[lifts an eyebrow.]

Am I? Why is that?

[shy-healer.livejournal.com]

(12-year-old Namine looks very concerned)

W-what happened?

(...and she has a british accent)

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

[well shit. he casually wraps an arm around his chest, covering up the bullet hole.]

Nothing. Don't worry about it.

[shy-healer.livejournal.com]

(not convinced)

B-but that looked like it hurt... I can heal it!

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

It hit the bone. I'm fine.

[except for the bleeding and the shattered bone, but he doesn't seem to mind that.]

[shy-healer.livejournal.com]

Please? I want to help out more...

(she has been helping before, but she wants to help out without being paid to do it)

[twilightavarice.livejournal.com]

You ought to be more careful. People might get the impression you like getting shot at.

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

Being careful and being suicidal don't really go together.

[twilightavarice.livejournal.com]

Then maybe you should stop being suicidal? [shrugs]

Besides, there's plenty to live for. Why would you want to die anyway?

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

Because life sucks and it won't get any better.

[twilightavarice.livejournal.com]

[Smirking] Awfully pessimistic of you. You should think more positively, you know.

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

Experimenting?

[eyeing that shirt]

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

The word 'failure' usually indicates that, yes.

[icy-chemistry.livejournal.com]

A rather stupid thing to experiment with.

[upsurged.livejournal.com]

Pills probably would've worked better, now that I think about it.

[transientingly.livejournal.com]

Seems like it.

[she just glances at him]
