The Path of Vengeance / Walking the darker path

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

[Anyone looking for Mad would find her in an empty work-room in the Chalice - digging information out of Maria's Black Box. For those who were on the mission, some of the voices heard would be gratingly familiar.]

"Why the fuck should we?!? These places are like a dime a dozen. If this one goes to hell we'll just go to another!"

[Scrambled warbling as Mad searches through the logs.]

"HOW ABOUT NO! AND WE FUCK YOUR STUPID BITCHBOT!"
"FUCK THIS TOWN, FUCK YOU, FUCK EVERYONE! THERE'S A MILLION OTHER SUCKERVILLES OUT THERE LIKE THIS ONE! AND IF WE WANT TO SHIT OVER EVERY ONE WE SET FOOT IN, NOBODY'S GONNA STOP US!"

[Mad's own voice is now screaming in terror before she cuts off the feed. But... there's a smile on her face... she's laughing now... and it is NOT a good thing.]



Assholes... you're gonna get what you fucking deserve... one way or another..

[She's tracing her hand along the slide of her pistol. That look in her eyes is terrifying to say the least.]

[For the most part, Gen had tried to block out a lot of what happened that day. Bad enough Kamina made him start to rethink his methods, but those two...

Hearing those voices again made him wince until he realized they were coming from a nearby room. Peeking in, he noticed Mad.]

Uh, hey!

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

..Hmph... you... you're that stupid looking Rider who said that name

[Gen, you can see AND hear Mad slowly cracking her knuckles as if she wants to bury them into your nose.]

[moonpiercedrill.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not stupid-looking! I'm awesome!

...and what name? Oh, you mean my girlfriend's!

[No, he doesn't realize that his girlfriend's name is also Mad's true name. And he notices the knuckle-cracking.]

...you okay?

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

No. I'm not okay. After that day, I don't think I'll ever be again. But that doesn't matter right now...

[She's walking over to throw a punch!]

BECAUSE ALL I CARE ABOUT RIGHT NOW IS SMASHING YOUR FACE IN!!!

[moonpiercedrill.livejournal.com]

WOAH!

[Fact: Gentarou might have Hana's love for the entire world and wants to befriend it, he DOESN'T have her penchant for standing still and letting a frightening girl punch 'em in the face.

He awkwardly dodges the strike, eyes wide.]

Hey, what gives?! What did I do?!

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

... The hell?

Mad, what's going on here?

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

This would be me.... getting some payback...

[Mad's looking.... unhinged... unhealthy. Downright terrifying here.]

My revenge... Maria's too...

[She runs her fingers along the black box like it was a treasure. And in a sense... it was.]

Those bastards... as soon as the copies are done, there won't be a place that'll let them in. Those fuckers are gonna have to live like wild fucking animals, and if they try anything people are gonna put 'em down!

[She giggles, then laughs, but...its broken this time... she's almost crying.]

And then... and then I'm gonna kill 'em! Kill 'em painfully! I'll make them beg for it to stop! But I won't because I'm gonna hear them scream like I did!!!!

[She's in hysterics now, clutching herself and shaking violently with eyes shut. But this wasn't enough for her. It just wasn't. Even if she got her revenge, ruined Rigger and Finch and then finally ended them.... it wouldn't fill the utter void that her encounter with them and the many truths had created in her heart.]

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

Oy. You should get some rest, think this over.

You're acting strange.

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

... I don't know why I'm alive ....that's probably why ... I don't have any dreams to chase anymore, nothing left to give me hope. All I've got is the chance to ruin those assholes' lives. and that won't be enough...

[She shakes her head, palming her face tiredly.]

And no. I'm not going to get some sleep... not until I know I'm not going to have any fucking nightmares...

[getter-class.livejournal.com]

Charming gentlemen, I thought.

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

Lets just see how much charm those fucks have after this gets around...

[She has a rather wide smirk on her face.]

You're that guy who piloted that Getter thing... right?

[getter-class.livejournal.com]

Yes, though that wasn't exactly my best moment in the cockpit.

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

Probably. A lot better than my best though. You're still a cut above most guys from what I saw.

[ Casshern was finally released from his cell when the tests came back. Though, now Dan has to keep a constant watch over him through the ship's surveillance systems to make sure nothing happens that would accidentally trigger his Berserker Mode.

And now, he's looking at Mad. ]

... What happened?

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

Getting back at the people who wronged me...

[She gives Casshern a cold look... the general warning was out about him.]

I'd appreciate it if you left. The last thing I need for you to do is to bring up more bad memories.

[She turns her back to him to get back to work on ruining lives.]

[ikilledthemoon.livejournal.com]

Bad memories?

[ Wait... of course, Casshern blacks out every time his Berserker Mode activates, so he's not sure what she's talking about. But Casshern logic says she knows if he killed Luna or not, because what else could she be talking about? ]

Do you... do you know what I did? I don't remember...

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

I saw you slaughter things out there like a wild animal. Brought up some bad memories of my own...

[She gives Casshern a bitter smile.]

Memories that made me who I am now.

(Momo walks up to Mad with a sad smile.)

Hey...Do you want to talk?

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

[Mad was gripping her pistol now... before relaxing it... Momo is-....was a friend... she can show her some courtesy... even if she is a Desu...]

What is there to talk about?... Honestly I'm just counting down the hours before someone storms my room to beat the living shit out of me.

[minorbeat]

I just wanted to see how you were doing. The last time I saw you was...well, you know. I was hoping that maybe you are feeling a little better. I mean, I know you are still...hurt and possibly confused, and I know that that is probably putting it lightly. But, I just wanted to know how you are feeling...If you'd like to talk about it, I'm willing to listen.

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

[Mad felt something flicker in her... hope? Maybe she could-.... no. She couldn't. She's a Desu.]

No... I'm not feeling any better. And I don't feel like talking about it....

[She looks away from Momo and digs through the recordings for more dirt. Her next words were probably drowned out by them - perhaps her real intentions for starting again.]

But thanks for asking...

[reach-for-self.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, Gregory's putting two and two together about what's going on fairly quickly.]

I see we had the same idea for our problems.

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

Great minds and all that...

[Mad's stopping in her recording sifting.]

Seeing their faces when it happens...

[reach-for-self.livejournal.com]

[That grin though...]

... Mad... are you okay?

[noliesnohero.livejournal.com]

[She traces slightly along the side of her head.]

Heh... I'm fine... Won't say the same for some people...
