Post-Mission Passing Out

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

1. Action
[After the adventure that finished in dinosaurs and stuff, Tsukasa had about enough.

Making a beeline to his kitchen, he started up the tea and waited till the water whistled. Pouring the water, and steeping the tea, he sat down gingerly in a chair. He didn't look too hurt at all, just dusty with some scrapes and he took a long bracing drink.

Then, looking around, he summarily passed out, collapsing on the floor.]


2. Action
[Tsukasa looks much better, more of his color back instead of desperately pale. There's a bandage around his head but he's relaxing, doing an old crossword puzzle. He's also sitting up in the infirmary, pencil twiddling in his fingers.]

What's a five letter word for 'baka' in English?

[Brb when you're awake.

...

Okay, now.]

Man, for a moment I thought you decided to dramatically die from injuries suffered during the fighting. Glad that it's not the case.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Can't... get rid of the devil so easily... Werter. I wouldn't be able to complete my mission if I died.

[saikyocivrobo]

Yeah, I'd imagine that'd be somewhat problematic.

Is it just me, or have you seen those aliens we fought out there before?

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Ah... I thought I did. At least, for a moment I thought they were what I was looking for -- Worms. Which would have lead me to Kabuto.

[saikyocivrobo]

Well, they kinda did. There was one there, in the Mazinger.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

... [pffffh.]

No I meant Kamen Rider Kabuto. Though I appreciate the joke.

[saikyocivrobo]

I know. Do those Worms pretend to be normal people too?

...Now I'm wondering if any got on board while we weren't paying attention.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Yes. What you saw there was a "molting" before it assumes it's true shape.

Could be. But I'm sure it'll be taken care of.

[saikyocivrobo]

So anyone I talk with on the ship could really be an evil alien in disguise, waiting for me to drop my guard so it can eat me?

More incentive to stay in my room all day, I guess.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

I would think that if there were perwhatevers on the ship, it would be more obvious.

[saikyocivrobo]

You're right. They didn't strike me as too subtle, and probably turn into their real form at the first available opportunity. In other words, they're morons.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't think anything will go right anyhow involving them at least. Lowest common denominator for mooks.

[saikyocivrobo]

Dumb or not, they're still dangerous though. Imagine what'd they do with all those civilians if we weren't there. Heck, I am a civilian myself.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

True. And the dumber they get, the more danger there is to lash out.

[saikyocivrobo]

So, if we increase their intelligence somehow, they might become more docile? I wonder if we have any ways of doing that. I can't see how it could go wrong.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Of course that's all theory and conjecture...

[saikyocivrobo]

Joking around, to be precise.

Why exactly you lost consciousness, anyway? Should've asked this at the start.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Head injury. [he touched his head gingerly.] It's not quite a concussion but I was running on pure adrenaline after that building fell on us.

I think it finally ran out and I passed out from the stress.

[saikyocivrobo]

I see. I got lucky myself that I didn't get hit by anything big before reaching Prometheus. Sometimes I'm glad he's almost literally eating me when growing.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

[A nod] The Decade armor takes a lot of punishment, but one good blow can knock me out of henshin, as you probably saw.

[saikyocivrobo]

I think that was the first time I saw you get hit. Enemies usually flail around trying to land a shot and failing, or ignore you and focus on stuff that looks big and threatening instead. You know, like me.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Done in by a wall. I'd never live it down.

[saikyocivrobo]

It's okay, the wall is dead now. You had your revenge.

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

A shame. I was hoping to use that old Ingo Montoya line on it.

[saikyocivrobo]

So quick to kill off your father? What if he's still alive?
