Will you or won't you

[attheclocktower]

Characters: Anybody and everybody
Setting: Floor 1, before noon
Summary: Riki's offered a way to help keep the Tower powered a little longer. Obviously this is going to cause a lot of discussion and debate so let's CONSOLIDATE
Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Possibly eventually, so keep an eye on subject lines and I 'll try to change to reflect any developments

[No doubt Riki's announcement would be polarizing, but the instructions themselves were clear: Floor 1 at noon if you want to help out. And if you want to meet people, try to talk them in or out of it? Or hell, maybe even just talk about the revelation on who is behind those explosions? Well, this is as good a place as any for that too.

Just remember to be careful near the staircase]

O-Oh, no, not at all… I just felt I owed it to the people here.

[heavenscorpse]

I don't think that's true. Nobody's asking you to risk your life for them.

[notsogrimreaper]

No… of course not. But they need someone to do it, and I want to make up for the trouble I’ve caused.

[heavenscorpse]

Mmm... You're a very good person. I'm sure you wouldn't cause trouble intentionally.

[notsogrimreaper]

Not intentionally, of course, but… it still happens.

[heavenscorpse]

If we all were in trouble for things we did unintentionally, I think I'd be in a lot of trouble for almost ending humanity. But nobody here is mad at me for that.

[notsogrimreaper]

...You almost did that? You don’t seem like that kind of person. You’re too sweet to do something so cruel.

[heavenscorpse]

You don't seem like the kind of person to cause a lot of trouble for people intentionally.

[notsogrimreaper]

I… guess you’re right. I’m sorry.

[heavenscorpse]

It's okay.

Sometime I'll tell you about what I was before I was like this. Right now I don't think it's the time for a sad story.

[notsogrimreaper]

It’s not the time. You’re right. Talking about something so sad will only make us more nervous about all of this, right?

[And Ryoji’s nervous enough already.]

[heavenscorpse]

Right. But I promise I'll tell you about it afterwards.

[There's going to be an afterwards.]

[notsogrimreaper]

That’s a promise then. Hopefully I’ll be able to find you after everything happens.

[Eventually, he will. He doesn’t doubt that.]

[heavenscorpse]

I'm sure you will. Until then, please take care of yourself.

[notsogrimreaper]

Yeah, you too. Be safe.

[heavenscorpse]

I will.

[V/V pats his shoulder lightly before heading off to find other friends.]
