2nd voodoo curse

[beardonfire]

[LECHUCK'S FACE WHEN:


He read the letter. Over and over again, to make sure he was getting this right. And each time, his grin just got bigger. From what he could gather, it went a little like this:

1. Kill this guy
2. ????
3: PROFIT ELAINE

He still wasn't fond of being trapped in a landlocked podunk with none of his powers, but if Elaine were by his side? He could get used to this! Especially if this "population reduction" stuff was a regular thing. Oh, this was going to be fun. But first, there was some business to take care of. He clears his throat and picked up the phone.]

Erm, is this thing on? [tap, tap, tap.] If anyone can hear me... does this sort of thing happen often? It seems awfully barbaric! [and wonderful] Nobody seems particularly happy about it... [more for him, he supposes!] but if it is our civic duty to carry out, I suppose there's nothing that can be done! This is quite the rock and hard place!

I simply cannot bear the thought of anyone getting into trouble if they can't bring themselves to do this, though! Nasty, nasty business, I agree! But, I have lived a hard life and I can handle making difficult choices, so if you find this particularly abhorrent, please come talk to me! I will do my best to help! You have my word as a captain.

Wow. Sounds like you've got it rough.

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Where I come from, you've got to be pretty cutthroat to survive! Just a fact of life!

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

Hehe. That kind of lifestyle's not cut out for me, but I can understand.

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Ah, but such a charming sound lady is surely undeserving of such a life! I'm sure you're among the lucky ones who aren't involved in all of this mess, as well, am I correct?

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

Yup, and boy am I glad of it. Battling against a giant mech is one thing, but this mess is not something I could just clean up afterwords.

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

You have those here? I... can't say I'm a very big fan of them.

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

Just one time so far! It was a *huge* battle, but in the end it didn't amount to anything.

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Isn't that something! Perhaps I've underestimated this place after all...

[redorblueshot.livejournal.com]

Hehe.

So, I'm Kohaku. And who is the person to whom I owe the pleasure of speaking to?

[roadroller]

Mmm...

What's the catch? ♪

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Oh, none at all! I'm an honest man, lass, and I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart.

[roadroller]

Well....

I guess it's better than all of the preachers, at least. ♪

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure they have their reasons for feeling the way they do! So, what can I do for you, miss?

[roadroller]

Um...

[she can't believe she's asking this.]

Can you kill Sho Minamimoto? ♪

I don't care about population or whatever, but if my brother can at least take his spot, I'm ok with it. ♪ He's my target, and he's a jerk too.

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

A separated family! How tragic! I, too, have a brother that I've been cruelly torn from!

Worry not, miss, I will take care of everything for you. Just tell me where I can find this man.

[roadroller]

...Well, I heard from Luke that he's a teacher. ♪ You probably shouldn't do it at the school though.

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Of course! Wouldn't want to make a spectacle out of something so grim, after all.

[roadroller]

That's good! ♪ Maybe you can just follow him from there.

Thanks, mister... ♪

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Hm? Ya serious?

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Very serious! I understand that some can't bring themselves to do such a thing, and I only wish to help.

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Oh well... in that case, can I take yer offer?

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Of course! What can I do for you, my good sir?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Well ya see, I need this lady named Ivy to be killed. I can't really do it myself...

[beardonfire.livejournal.com]

Ah, a lady! You are quite the gentleman to have reservations, I see. But don't worry, I can take care of everything for you.

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Yeah? That's great...! Well... I guess. Not for her I suppose but...
