[Action for roommates (2-19)
Maka died last week. She'll wake up in her bed, but before then, in the few seconds before she wakes up, there's a flash of light and she transforms, growing blades from every inch of her body, like a flower made of deadly metal with her as the center. As quickly as they appear, they vanish again.

Then comes waking up, and sleep paralysis. For ten minutes, she is trapped motionless in her bed, unable to move any part of her body. She panics, trying to fight it, but there's nothing she can do. It passes, eventually, and she sits up with a strangled screaming sob, shaking, arms wrapped around her torso.

[Eventually, she makes her way to the terminals, and figures out how to post.]

Anybody here know how to fight hand-to-hand? A spar would be a good way to work off some energy after last week.

I don't think it matters now, does it?

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

Oh well it isn't so bad here. [He says that without the slightest smidgeon of sarcasm.] I mean, there's always good stuff if you know where to dig at.

[Video]

[the_word_is]

I've been here less than two weeks, and I've already been mind controlled and murdered.

If you know where the "good stuff" is, I'd like to find it.

[whiteblackknight]

[His smile fades into obscurity.] I can't say my first impressions of the place were much better. But look at it this way: You're meeting people you would not have met otherwise. I'm not the smartest or the wisest guy, and I'll be the first to admit it, but that's a plus if there ever was one.

[Tim sidles at its resting place.]

[Video]

[the_word_is]

No, it's not. I've met a couple nice people, but that doesn't make up for everything we've all lost, and if you think it does, you're an idiot.

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

[The sudden change causes Allen to become more somber in tone.]

Yeah, maybe I am.

[While Mr. Walker had attempted to retain eye contact, it now looks as though he is lost in thought, looking more at his reflection than anything else.]

But, to me, as long as there's something, you can't just stop walking.

[Video]

[the_word_is]

Yeah, I get that. But it's still stupid to say that meeting new people here is a good thing. In a situation like this, I'd rather have the people I know than meet new ones.

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

[His lips turn into a smaller smile, but he averts his gaze.]

I'm sorry. I'm always looking for the bright side of things. It's actually kind of strange, isn't it?

[Video]

[the_word_is]

... not really. I mean, I try to look on the bright side but... this is really tough.

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

You too?

I might just be trying too hard then.

[Video]

[the_word_is]

... It's important for someone to try.

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

I thought you said it was stupid to think that way.

[Video]

[the_word_is]

Yeah, well, Death knows I've done plenty of stupid things myself.

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

Haven't we all...?

[There's a few things Allen would rather not have done in hindsight. Such as not cheating people out of more of their money when he had the chance.]

That's also quite an analogy you've used there. I'm sure it couldn't have been "that" bad, whatever it is you've done.

[Video]

[the_word_is]

... What analogy?

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

Well, you said "Death knows". The normal version is a little different. I mean, it's not like Death actually has a consciousness or anything.

[Video]

[the_word_is]

Of course he does. And that is the normal version, unless you're one of those really religious "thou shalt not take the name of Lord Death thy god in vain" types.

[Video]

[whiteblackknight]

[Tim hops off of Allen and begins to fly around him in circles as his eyes have since widened.]


R-Really!? W-Well, I've always been the humbler type...


So Death is real from where it is you come from, I guess?

[video]

[the_word_is]

Well, I guess "death" is real everywhere, but yeah, Lord Death is in charge of our world.

[video]

[whiteblackknight]

Oh, really? Is he...uh, she?....It doing a good job?

[It's a silly question, but Mr. Walker assumes nothing.]

[video]

[the_word_is]

He's doing pretty good, I guess. It's not like I've ever seen a world where he isn't...

[video]

[whiteblackknight]

Minus this one. Maybe.

[Allen looks questionable.]

So anyway, what's this scythe of yours like?

Re: [video]

[the_word_is]

And this world sucks.

[Yeah, let's change the subject.]

He's lazy slob who never does his homework and drools all over the couch.

[video]

[whiteblackknight]

[And strike two!]

Uh....come again? I thought a scythe was some kind of bladed weapon. I can hardly call this thing that is my arm "Innocence"...

[video]

[the_word_is]

Oh, well, yeah, he is. But he's a pretty... typical scythe. I mean, scythes aren't a really complex weapon.
