22. [ accidental video ]

[trinities]

[ She's being filmed by Haro; he's perched in a hollow in the ground in an empty area near the highway, and Nena's standing about thirty yards away, one hand on her hip, the other holding her gun with a silencer attached ]

Stop being a jerk and just do it!

Magic word! Magic word!

I'll use you for a target, that's the magic word!

[ Apparently that's close enough, because his arm snakes out at the edge of the video and throws something up; Nena goes down into a crouch and fires, seven or eight times. (The shards that rain down look oddly familiar to the plates that went missing from Cross's kitchen this morning.) One or two break as they crash into the ground, though, rather than being shattered in the air, and she grumbles as she stands up and wipes her forehead ] Geez, I'm so out of practice! This sucks!

What idiot thought it would be a good idea to give you a gun again?

[trinities]

Don't be a dick, I'm trained!

[lockon2urheart]

Remind me again why that's supposed to reassure me.

[trinities]

It's not! It just means I have as much right to a gun as you do~

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

What did she do with the first one?!

[lockon2urheart]

Nothing good, put it that way. Either of those two with weapons is a recipe for disaster.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Great.

1/2

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

I did.

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

And who the fuck do you think you're calling an idiot?

[trinities]

You walked right into that one!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Not helping, Nena.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That thing is really annoying.

[trinities]

Haro? Yeah, pretty much! I kick him into things a lot.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What is it, a robot?

[trinities]

Yep! Something's wrong with his AI, that's why he's such a total jerk to everyone.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Do robots actually have genders, or are you just using "he" out of habit?

[trinities]

I'm just used to it! It feels weird to call him a girl, and anyway, if I asked him what he wanted to be called he'd probably feed me lines he got from hacking into Miha-nii's porn.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Ugh.

[trinities]

I know, right? Miha-nii shouldn't have made it so easy to find, how lame!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Disgusting is a better word.

[trinities]

Nah, I don't care that he has it, it's just a pain when Haro starts yelling 'Take it like a bitch' all over the house!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

The entire situation sounds disgusting.

[trinities]

That's because you're a prude!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No I'm not.

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Hey, hey, target practice on something else besides my plates. Use your damn brother.

[trinities]

They were ugly anyway!

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

No, they weren't. I stol-

Fine, they were ugly and we'll never speak of the plates again.

[trinities]

You stole them? From who~?

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

It's a secret.

[trinities]

Well, I guess it doesn't matter any more!

[breakhisknees.livejournal.com]

Just find some new ones to eat off of.
