Viewing Party 2 - R3: THE RE-CRY-ENING

[misanthropicprinciple]

We got castmates. We got clues. We got crap to bitch about. They get a library? And a LAUNDRY MACHINE?

Welcome, murderfam... TO THE R3 LIVEWATCH.

We don't know that they're dead yet. [Ardyn's voice was calm, but his hand was shaking with silent fury as he kept his hold on Church's wrist. They didn't know, but that didn't change whatever the result had been. In fact, not knowing almost felt worse at this point.]

[Blaze better have been dead by now, or Ardyn was going to kill him himself.]

I don't know where Jamie is right now, but shouting at him in the middle of the night is no way to get the answers we're going to need.

[motherfucking_ghost]

SOMEONE HAS ANSWERS, AND I'M GONNA FUCKING GET THEM!

[scourgingstars]

Not like this, you aren't. Listen to me--focus on my voice for one minute and nothing else.

We are going to figure this out. If we've already failed to save them, then we will get every last one of them back and cut a bloody path through every single person who says that we can't. Save your anger for the people who deserve it,because when the time comes that's what you're going to need.

[motherfucking_ghost]

Oh, I've got plenty of anger left; I've got, I got fucking oodles of anger, like, whole anger reserves. Y'know, it's real funny hearing this coming from you.

[scourgingstars]

I'm not the one about to explode and start screaming this time. And were I in your position, I imagine you would be doing the same as me and trying to stop said explosion before it happens.

[motherfucking_ghost]

[He tugs his arm again.] Fucking let go of me!

[scourgingstars]

...I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we weren't able to save her this time. But I swear to you that I will stop at nothing until we get everyone back.

[Ardyn didn't let go yet, sharply focused. He was furious himself but this was different; it was tightly controlled, showing only in his eyes and the ironclad determination in his voice.]

I need you to realize this, Leonard. Anger like this is dangerous. You can vent it, you can break things--but you have to make sure that when you focus it on someone, the right person is on the other end.

[He finally dropped his hand from Church's wrist, bright yellow eyes watching him carefully.]

Do not turn into me and burn down everyone else along with yourself.

[motherfucking_ghost]

You're being fucking paranoid. I know exactly who to blame for this, and if we find these guys and he's not dead, then he's gonna be!

[scourgingstars]

I'm being paranoid because I give a damn about you, this whole situation scares the hell out of me, and I don't want you doing anything stupid!

[motherfucking_ghost]

Doing something stupid is my god damn MO! Have you fucking met me? Fine. Fine. I'll go outside and yell at the sky and kick some dirt and punch a wall and then pretend like that feels okay. Is that better? Jesus, can't I guy be FUCKING ANGRY AROUND HERE without it turning into a DAMN INTERVENTION?

[scourgingstars]

...

[Ardyn glanced away and sighed, folding his arms. Church deserved to feel anger and fury, and taking it from him was something Ardyn wouldn't dare to try. But at the same time...it scared even Ardyn of all people, who struggled so hard to keep his temper in check because he knew rage was the worst kind of double-edged sword, the kind of thing that could destroy everything if not focused properly.]

...You're right. I-...my apologies.

[But focused or not, it wasn't wrong to be felt all the same.]

[motherfucking_ghost]

I don't want your apologies.

Just. Fucking tell me later if anything else happens.

[That poor front door is gonna get slammed off its hinges at this rate.]
