*d-dammit! This is all my fault!*

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

Don't blame yourself for being a pawn, Gongji.

After all, this is my job. ♥

[redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com]

*and if I had been doing mine, I would've been more vigilant! I couldn't even protect Tong or the children properly!*

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

Ah! I think I've decided.

I'm going to cut out your heart. As much as I would love to slit your throat, I may as well... do something different this time.

[POINTED GLANCE AT DEAD!RYOUTOU. Oh yeah, his throat's been ripped a new one. 8D HEY GONGJI GUESS WHO DID IT]

*....w-why... if you wanted me, why didn't you just take me? Why'd you involve him, anyway?!*

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

He involved himself.

[RAISING THE KNIFE]

[redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com]

*...fine. Take me and don't involve anyone else in this*

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

How noble of you.

[AND LET'S START CUTTIN' OUT THAT PESKY HEART]

[redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com]

*this would be me screaming into my gag, for all it's worth!*

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[YEAH YEAH YEAH, SO ARE YOU ALIVE ENOUGH FOR ME TO SHOW IT TO YOU?]

[Eh. I don't actually care. LET'S NAIL IT TO THE WALL WITH MY KNIFE.]

[redrisngphoenix.livejournal.com]

*MAYBE I CAUGHT A FLEETING GLIMPSE OF IT, but I think by the time it makes it to the wall, I'm already starting to cool off*

[SEE I'D LAUGH BUT--]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[YOU KNOW HOW THESE CAMP THINGS WORK. Someone acts all evil but o noes it's not their fault because it was actually camp!]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[And then everyone is all like KILL 'EM ANYWAY and they're like sob sob sob IT WASN'T ME]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[OR MAYBE THEY COME FACE-TO-FACE WITH WHAT THEY JUST DID]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[AND FREAK OUT]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[And then have a moment or two to SOB BITTERLY AND WEEP FOR THE HORRIBLE ATROCITY THEY JUST COMMITTED]

[With maybe a "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY" or two thrown in for good measure]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[And then A MOMENT OF STOIC CLARITY. "I know now what I must do!" )]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[WHO SEES WHERE THIS IS GOING? SHOW OF HANDS.]

[Oh right, right. Actions. Let's see. All important seals of office are now ON YOUR BEDSIDE TABLE, GONGJI, as are Boyan's SYMBOLS OF RANK. How fitting that they would be so symbolic now!]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[OKAY. NOW, STRANGLING IS CONSIDERED TO BE A VERY VERY LOWLY WAY TO DIE. Which means that IT'S PERFECT! So I suppose the question is this:

Is it still "becoming an hero" if they're doing it in a way that emphasizes that they are TOTALLY WORTHLESS SCUM?]

[WAIT WAIT why the hell am I debating that now? I'm too busy MacGyvering a noose out of some bedsheets here!]

[grilled2order.livejournal.com]

[OKAY.]

[YEAH, OKAY. NOW YOU CAN DEBATE IT.]

[Also, FINAL BODY COUNT: 3]
