There is a click, a soft urging, almost whispered too soft to hear, but you can sense that you are being beckoned somewhere, lead to an elaborate open door with wood panels and great curls of gold leaf. You cannot see what is beyond the door, but it smells sour and sharp. Before you can turn over the thought of should you or shouldn't you, if you are the kind, there is a quiet push at your back and through the door you go . . .

Join #supersafe, because I like being misleading. When in doubt, use this for flower meanings if you character is the type . . .

"What—What the hell was that?!"

[crueltobekind]

I~di~ot~ Rude too, assuming I'm pitying or looking down on you. Would you pity or look down on someone else suffering a tragedy?

[dramatispersonae]

"No! Of course not! But this family—This family bears its own burdens, even if there is only one left!"

[crueltobekind]

So you'll just push everyone else away like some kind of bitter jerk? Do you hate yourself that much?

[dramatispersonae]

"I don't hate myself—! I just don't want a stranger doing what my family won't!"

[crueltobekind]

. . . What do you mean?

[dramatispersonae]

"Vincent! He—He murders my, his own, family, then he goes on, adding to our disgrace!"

[crueltobekind]

He . . . He did this?

[dramatispersonae]

Elliot stands up, shooting out of his seat, like he can't stay seated and tense anymore.

"Who's the fool! I said it was my fault, and I am not accepting the blame for his sins. But Fred and my uncle! He's responsible, too!"

[crueltobekind]

You just said—! It's not my fault you're confusing!

[dramatispersonae]

"You asked!"

[crueltobekind]

Stop yelling at me!

[dramatispersonae]

"You're yelling, too!!"

[crueltobekind]

Because you're yelling at me!

[dramatispersonae]

"THEN, STOP YELLING ALREADY!!"

[crueltobekind]

THE ONE WHO STARTED IT SHOULD END IT!

[dramatispersonae]

"HAH?! WHERE WAS ALL THAT SPIRIT WHEN YOU WERE CRYING BEFORE!"

[crueltobekind]

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYING WHEN YOU'RE HURT!

[dramatispersonae]

"IT IS WHEN YOU'RE A MAN! HAVE SOME SPINE ALREADY!!!"

[crueltobekind]

YOU'RE THE COWARD AFRAID TO SHOW WEAKNESS!

[dramatispersonae]

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK I TOLD YOU—?! THAT IS ENOUGH!!! YOU CAN LEAVE!!!!!"

[crueltobekind]

TELL ME WHERE TO FIND VINCENT AND I WILL!

[dramatispersonae]

"I ALREADY SAID NOT HERE!!"

Wow, that may be a few drops of tears or sweat when he shouts that out.

[crueltobekind]

[this guy . . .]

You really have no idea where else he might be?

[dramatispersonae]

"Not a damn clue!" Huff, huff. He tosses the ring at Kaoru. "If you find him, give him that! And tell him to show his damn face here, or I will find him!!"
