AUGUST EVENT: DRAGSTRIP RIOT

[it begins with a PA announcement on the morning of the 12th, Friday’s voice coming through clear and cheerful.]

Any passengers that wish to debark to our latest port of call can exit the ship through the metal detectors on deck zero! Please be advised that all alcohol will be confiscated prior to your exit!

[and whoever heads down to the lowest deck will find that what she said was true: there is a metal detector set up there, with Friday manning it. after placing all metal objects (including weapons, and all your weapons) onto the tray, she gestures for the passenger to step through the metal detector.

they exit in an entirely different location. suffering from a splitting headache, and wearing an entirely different outfit than they had put on this morning, but unscathed. they even got their weapons back!

the interior of the diner is essentially your average jonathan rockets establishment. the narrow lane between booths and counter is manned by an entirely mute Friday clone, who cheerily takes orders and serves up food (cooked??? somewhere???) with an almost unnatural talent for roller blading. there is a jukebox in the corner that can be fed with quarters passengers will inexplicably find on their person. the available songs range from the 50s to the 80s, with a particularly wide selection of songs from the platters.

outside, the diner is a great chrome boxcar, circled by a small parking lot. a large neon sign proclaims it to be GIL’S; it buzzes and flickers on and off often. passengers who have regained vehicles will find these vehicles parked outside. there are also a handful of midcentury American cars; none of them seem to require keys, and the gas tank seems set at full.

past the parking lot is a seemingly endless expanse of desert sand and scrubland, bisecting by the empty highway that the diner abuts. a few miles down this highway, the road forks into a smaller one, which winds its way up a steep, ragged mountain until plateauing into another parking lot, with only a small, old wooden fence between the cars and the edge of the cliff.

should they wish to return to the ship, passengers can leave at any time the same way they entered: walking through a doorway that now claims to be a mop closet. passing through will leave them on deck zero, again with a splitting headache. it’s probably fine.]

No, I don't think it does.

Other than... I suppose, revive... eventually... [ his voice a little faint as he kind of casts his memory back to previous deaths, both of which were. kind of traumatic. and that he tries actively to avoid thinking of, successfully or not. ] So I suppose there's not much to gain after all.

But the same could be said of most peoples'... corpses, though. So perhaps if you think of it that way, killing could be so boring couldn't it!

You are trying so hard that it's almost endearing.

[Which is why he's even still talking to Venti right now.]

Also not true, some people have rigged themselves to explode. And you may have interesting things in your pockets assuming I wanted to search you. Which I really don't so that idea is right out.

I'm a wanderer with no home, [ read: homeless ass hobo, ] so I don't quite carry many possessions at all. In any case killing someone just for their belongings, wouldn't that simply be mugging or--

Wait, endearing?

Endearing! You think so, is that so! [ !!!!!! being cute is very important to him because he sucks so bad. he flips a braid over his shoulder, practically sparkling and levitating a little off his feet. just put a bullet in him right now!!! ]

So now, by the power of my cuteness and try-hardiness I could surely wear you down. That's right, if you kill me you'd be robbing yourself of more of my charm~! And others too, I guess!

[ can some lightning just randomly hit him please ]

[Venti please.]

A wanderer with no home sounds a lot like you should be carrying all your possessions on you at all time. But I suppose you...

[He trails off as Venti practically transforms into a magical girl in front of him. He puts his palm right over Venti's smiling face and pushes him back down onto the ground from where he's floating.]

You are reading far too much into that. And killing you might save someone else from having to deal with you. Wouldn't that be a kindness from me?
wimdy: (we gotta do what we gotta do)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-08-24 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Who~a, how magnanimous you are. So you would kill for the greater good, hm! Now that just means you could absolutely shift your reasoning or thinking into not killing for the greater good as well~

[ no, max has the right idea, kill venti to save everyone else from cringe. ]

I could do a great many things.

[He could punt Venti directly into the sun. He could run him over with his car. Many things.]

So long as it benefited me somehow, certainly. Would you like me to demonstrate?
wimdy: (ain't no conversations)

[personal profile] wimdy 2022-08-25 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ] Sure? [ well he can't help but be (maybe morbidly) curious now.

running him over... if only... but he has to be marginally intact in order to die to zombies later. ]

[ Venti is so clueless that this almost isn't even fun. Leave it to him to take the joy out of violence.

In an instant he grabs at the front of Venti's swishy cherry print dress, testing the structural integrity of the fabric by picking him up by it and hurling him as far away as he possibly can.

Fly far lil wind god.

[ he might consider this some kind of absurd success. yes!! he killed you and you don't even feel satisfied with yeeting him into the air. time to be a kill-joy for violence or at least try. his power of obnoxiousness could be so strong.

and...... there he goes...... vaguely he could think, well it's nice to know what max is physically capable of. also, this is kind of impressive. he doesn't weigh a lot, he's practically light as a feather, and after a while he just disappears into wind. he can take a hint. he'll leave max alone until time for ~car advice~. ]
