week one, saturday

[countermeasures]

[well.

here she is! she had to go bandage her hand first, but at some point when he doesn't have another visitor, she wanders through the archway to find him.]

...Sir Asogi?

[assogi]

[ his handsie has been bandaged, and he's just kneeling in an emo fashion. ]

[ he looks up when she enters ]

... Doctor Su. Are you alright?

[ he saw her got bit... ]

[countermeasures]

I'm fine. It's nothing to worry about.

[it could have been much worse! marie could have had rabies. or maybe she does! imagine if the mods dm me next week like "soooo your bite's infected and you're dying"]

...I wanted to see how you were faring.

[assogi]

[ i could see this mod team doing that tbh ]

... No need to concern yourself for someone like me. I'm sure I will meet a fitting end very soon. I'm glad that you're alright, though.

[ fuckin manpain ]

[countermeasures]

[yeah i could too]

Sir Asogi... [...] Were our situations reversed, I feel you would have been concerned about me. So why shouldn't I be concerned for you?

[assogi]

I don't believe you're capable of such monstrosity, Dr. Su.

[ .... ]

[countermeasures]

People are capable of any sort of monstrosity, when they're driven into a corner.

[assogi]

... I suppose that's true.

[ still, despite her sketch profile and being played by britt, he has his doubts. ]

This isn't the first time I've lost control of myself. The demon inside of me... that reared its ugly head.

[countermeasures]

[god i love being canon familiar to him]

...what do you mean by that?

[assogi]

... My father was sent to his death, unjustly. When I came face to face with one of the men responsible.... I.... I wanted to kill him.

[ he's so fucking dramatic ]

[countermeasures]

Did you?

[...did you kill him, she means. she's not asking him to confirm again that he wanted to.]

[assogi]

[ i know right he's so baby ]

... I was pulled away and brought here before I could make the decision.

[ he just stabs his luggage instead what a fuckin weenie ]

[countermeasures]

...you know, Sir Asogi... if we were all judged as harshly as you seem to be judging yourself for simply wanting to kill someone, I don't think there's a single person in any world who could be considered innocent.

[assogi]

I think I would have killed him if I had been there a second longer.

[ no he's just fucking dramatique ]

[countermeasures]

You might have. But you also might not have.

[...]

I'm sorry. I don't know quite where I'm going with this. But I've met reprehensible people and unrepentant murderers before, and you don't have many similarities with them at all.

[assogi]

[ ... ]

Thank you, Doctor Su.

[ it's hard for him to believe any of this after mcstabbing his best friend, but he can at least appreciate her kindness. ]

I don't know what happened to Ryunosuke, for him to act out like that. I think that.... you have much more difficult battles ahead of you, if this is going to continue.

[countermeasures]

...

[hm.]

We've been worried that this place was going to affect people in ways that would make them dangerous since last week... [...] Now we've seen firsthand what sorts of things any of us might be made to do.

We identified you as the killer this time, but... that doesn't do anything to resolve the change in behavior.

[assogi]

I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[ .... ]

Last Sunday..... they used the power of their colors to stop the fighting. Surely, there must be a way for you all to use those powers in such a fashion yourselves.

[countermeasures]

That's not your fault.

[it's the prism, or - if it turns out that it's not the prism affecting people - it's whatever is causing those effects. it's not kazuma himself. it wasn't ryunosuke himself, either.

the two of them were both victims of this, in their own way.]

I would hope so. ...but, I worry that if this place really does learn from us as the residents have said it does... that it will know to prepare against that possibility.
