Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 19, 2063 || Friday

[icarusalsoflew]

[This one disappears for about thirty minutes, and returns as quietly as he left with two briefcases. He doesn't explain where he went, but from how he ducks into Hikaru's room for about fifteen minutes after that, it can probably be inferred that he fetched a few things from Falner.

Looks like he'll be staying at the Tower while he has taken control of his Brother's body. You're usually going to spot him hovering around, smoking, working through a glass of rum, eyes crimson-ringed and glowing oddly in all lights (or lack thereof) watching... who knows what he's watching? And that suit he's wearing - three-piece, black, pin-striped, with ghostly faces and smoke occasionally moving over the "fabric" - is pretty nice, creepiness aside.

Please excuse him if you find him suddenly popping in on you. It's just what he does.]


OOC Notes:
+ Drop starters as you please! I'll have Death haunt you accordingly. ♥
+ Feel free to do other stuff among yourselves here as well.
+ Do note that Makoto's out and solid for this evening too, so you can bug him or ping me if you want him to come around and bother you.

[ Brig takes it in and nods. Taking a long drag as well. ]

Yeah, [ He remembers some soldiers who would just freeze on the middle of the field. Some who'd just take their own lives. It's heavy in the chest and it's not the smoke. He tries to blow the feeling out. It's still there ] giving up is easy.

[ A short pause and he adds ] I'd like to believe people [ finite beings ] are good-natured enough though, to help pull their fellows up when they think they're at their ropes end.

[Tilting his head in your direction.]

So you believe that goodness is the natural - the proper - way of things?

[You are more interesting to talk to than he had originally believed you would be.]

[atlas_shrugged]

Yes, sir, [ A nod and a blink as he let's names and faces of all the good people he know flash briefly in his mind ] I do.

After everything I've seen and been through in my short-lived life, I hold onto the belief that the world and its people are inherently good.

[icarusalsoflew]

Why?

[It is a valid query, in Death's eyes. Brigade, to his understanding, is the exception to the rule.]
