Babysitting Weapons of Mass Destruction

[gorgeous_sin]

WHO: Lust, Sonic the Hedgehog, Ira, Sheena Fujibayashi, Vincent Valentine, Selphie Tilmitt
WHAT: Cid has assigned various heroes to guard the remains of the Ultima WEAPON that were salvaged after their battle. Suspicious people try to sneak close, but they fail to be caught.
WHEN: September 11th - 13th
WHERE: Aqures Ixen - 12th District


Here sat the broken pieces of the enormous machine known as the Ultima WEAPON. The Heroes had gone through a lot of trouble to secure it, and even more trouble to subdue it. Now it sat sadly in a heap of wreckage at the airship ports, with few visitors save the occasional Hypello or dock rat.

This was what the Heroes had to guard. Prepare for boredom.


[OOC: Each Hero guard gets their own thread below. Pair up with whoever you want for guard duty CR!]

[So has Vincent. And experienced shit too. They should swap stories sometimes.]

Now you know the true horror and evil in life. Bureaucracy and all that goes with it.

[Give it time]

Really? Because I'm pretty sure there's a few things that are worse.

[Paperwork may be a close second, but still... he'd rather deal with bureaucracy over the Tower again.]

Re: Vincent

Bureaucracy is truly horrific, as it simply 'is'. It has no concept of right or wrong, nor does it care about the same. It is entirely indifferent to any need other than its own, which is to attempt to bring order and compartmentalize everything. Efficiency is its goal, but often it becomes inefficient as it breeds further attempting to bring sense and order and accountability.

[That was why it was the true horror, in Vincent's mind. Bureaucracy was entirely indifferent. It simply did not care one way or another.]

[...Sorry Vincent, but he's not really paying attention. Or at least, looks like he isn't. With how his eyes glazed over for a split second before catching a glimpse of movement that wasn't daggers. Oh, just a bird.]

It's just so... mundane. [Oh look, he did listen.] Horror may exist in it, but only in it's excess does it appear so. And in those who only focus on their task, instead of the bigger picture.

[Though in the end, the bigger picture could be even more horrific. Or he could be calling the metaphorical kettle black.]

Re: Vincent

[bloodypast]

[That almost gets a hint of a smirk from Vincent. Almost.]

It's because it is mundane, that its so horrific. Of all the things one expects horror and terror from, to see the darkest evils and deepest nightmares of sentience... It is not expected from something that seems so ordinary and banal.

[Darn it, so close!]

Following that logic, even something like a doll or a teddy bear could be a tool of mass destruction.

[He says it with a completely straight face, even waving it off. Yet he's heard the horror stories.]

Re: Vincent

[bloodypast]

In the right situation, it could be.

[Vincent said it completely seriously and deadpan. Also a straight face.]

Re: Vincent

[acceptedoblivion]

[He shifts slightly, a chuckle escaping him.]

How'd we get on this topic, anyway?

Re: Vincent

[bloodypast]

You were being fidgety and bored.

[Same deadpan tone as he's delivered everything else.]
