at the park, he meanders around mindlessly a little bit while he waits for Tadashi. he looks like he hasn't slept in... awhile. to be fair, he always sorta looks like that, but it's more noticeable now. he may have come back without any side effects, but that doesn't mean their little trip didn't take its toll.
on the plus side, being able to move is amazing. ]
[ tadashi goes alone this time around. no demo or no hiro to accompany him. it didn't seem appropriate to bring anything or anybody with him, so all he has in his pocket is his cerevice.
contrary to his usual big motioned waves, this one is a lot smaller in contrast when he sees levi. still, it's a greeting.
weakly: ] Hey there. Tadashi here.
[ you didn't have to introduce yourself, you nerd. ]
[ he takes a deep breath and blows it out. okay, here we go... ]
I got a message a few days ago, in the middle of the night. From "a friend." They wanted to meet me at the air shrine. It sounded sketchy as hell, obviously, so I thought about ignoring it. But I also thought maybe I might be able to get some answers, so I went.
...When I got there, it turned out to be Mosley. There was another guy there that I kinda knew, and three girls I'd never met before. He shoved us all into the shrine and we ended up in an underground passage. That's where it started to get weird.
[ he crosses his arms and looks at the ground. no wonder Tadashi didn't want to tell people he died. this is awkward and unsettling. ]
There were a bunch of animals down there. We just kept going until we eventually heard giant footsteps. It turned out to be a big, ugly monster. It was blocking out way, so it had to go. Fortunately it was blind, so taking it out wasn't very hard. The others took out its legs and blocked it from biting anyone, and I killed it. Just... opened its throat. There wasn't much else I could do.
[ he pauses for a moment. here comes the fun part. ]
In any case, it bled all over me. I tried to get some of it off, but it was... oddly sticky. Not like human blood at all. One of the girls walked ahead and the ground gave out under her. It was a long way down, and she died from the fall. But we had to keep going, so we jumped the gap. By that point, though, the blood I was soaked in was starting to harden as it dried, and it was getting harder and harder to move. Soon enough, I was completely unable to move. The others had to go on without me.
...I'm not sure how long I was stuck there. Eventually I started to see things, and I think I passed out not long after that. I died down there, I guess. Then I woke up today in my apartment.
A couple of them. The girl who died seemed fine, and the other guy checked in on me. Whatever small amount of information they made it out of there with wasn't worth one death, though. Why did he lock us in there?
[ he knows Tadashi doesn't have the answer, but he can't help asking out loud. ]
That's what I'd like to think... that maybe he didn't send us down there knowing some of us wouldn't make it back out. But I had a hard time trusting people like him before this. It's a hundred times worse now. If he needs people to go on death missions for him, he can get volunteers and actually give us an objective. If he can't even do that much, then he can do them himself.
[ there's definitely the implication that he would volunteer, having a lot of experience with such things, but he's still turbo-mad. he had plenty of time to think about these things while he was very slowly dying, after all. ]

Hey. I think we may have met once or twice before.
no subject
No idea why I said that.
no subject
It's... been a long day.
no subject
Yeah, I guess. [ a pause. ] So...
[ what the hell happened to you, bro? ]

[ jazzhands!! ]
no subject
shit.
not that he thinks of that word exactly, but he still can't believe that levi died. of all people, it was levi. ]
... sorry.
no subject
You of all people shouldn't have to apologize. I'd love to have a little chat with Mosley about it, though.
[ do not let him do this. ]
no subject
[ he's not letting you do this!!! ]
no subject
[ ...yeah, probably best not to let him do this. ]
no subject
Calm down.
no subject
Sorry. I'm just... really angry. Like I said, I wasn't the only one who didn't make it out of there.
no subject
Have you talked to them since?
no subject
[ he knows Tadashi doesn't have the answer, but he can't help asking out loud. ]
no subject
Nobody should be dying in the first place.
[ not that he should be talking, mr. running into the fire. ]
Maybe Mosley just didn't know what to do with himself.
