[Week 6, Wednesday: Maya]
[so anyway someone is bursting into the fucking ramen shop post-mission, hi Conductor-san]
Maya! Maya!
Maya! Maya!
no subject
Geez, be a little less subtle, would you!
[ where's her curry binch. ]
no subject
Have you heard from Max?
no subject
[ giving akira a flat look though. ]
You guys gotta be a little more chill when it comes to Noise, though! You could have really hurt him.
[ he's 10 holy crap guys. ]
no subject
[wheezes?? also he slumps into a seat, burying his fingers into his bangs and letting out a frustrated noise]
no subject
[ huffs a little. ] Plus, that was over the top for a Noise fight to begin with! You don't gotta literally shoot 'em in the head, you know.
no subject
[but it's a poor excuse, and he knows it. so instead of even trying to explain why they fucked up, he just lets out another distressed noise, face pressed against his palms]
[sorry Maya he is IN DISTRESS]
no subject
Look, we took care of it. He's gonna be okay.
no subject
Okay? Okay? It's not okay, Maya!
[distress continues, he really does need that xanax]
He was going to bat for us, and we didn't even take the time to realize that the Noise was him?! So we could pull our punches? Fuck.
[no excuses, no excuses, no excuses]
I don't even care about the results of our test, Maya, I just. . . he's my friend!
[was? IDK HOW DOES MAX FEEL ABOUT AKIRA ALMOST SHOOTING HIM??]
no subject
[ anyway she's just gonna let him get it out of his system. ]
You would have still had to fight him, you know -- the test isn't just about Players. Pulling your punches might not have gotten a good result, either --- there's a middle ground!
Look, just calm down. He's gonna be fine.
no subject
I know, it's not-- . . . having to fight him is fine. I know he's tough. That's not the issue.
[fighting itself isn't the problem. Akira would spar with his phantom thieves any day, and doesn't mind a good ol' scuffle every now and then. but]
. . . I almost shot him in the head, Maya.
[like he did with Velvet]
[. . . that might be the real issue, here. some things are still too fresh in his mind, and the knowledge that he almost killed a friend the same way he killed Velvet is. terrifying]
no subject
Well, I mean -- he did dodge it. Give him some credit here.
[ he just has to be a lil less trigger happy is all. ]
no subject
[. . . . . . . . . .]
[also, he stares at her for like. . . a good ten seconds, before he barks out a wry laugh and rubs at this eyes with his fist]
. . . yeah. He sure did.
I guess he's pretty impressive after all.
no subject
[ just... maybe not to that extent??? ]
He is, yeah.
no subject
Reckless idiot. . .
[he says that fondly, though. reckless idiot who finally started to believe in them, who went to bat for them with this higher agency and judged them favorably. or so Akira thinks]
[Akira shifts in his seat, hands linked together in his lap]
Can you give him something for me, Maya?
no subject
[ now she's patting his head again, don't make him weird. ]
Oh, you wanna grovel? Sure.
no subject
[he doesn't shy away from her touch this time, at least]
Groveling isn't really my style. [but. . .!] I promised you curry.
Could you take some to him? Along with some coffee, and a letter?
no subject
Lemme vet it, but alright.
[ admittedly she does need to give him painkillers with some kind of liquid and he only drinks coffee so. ]
no subject
[but he's slowly picking himself up again, because the dog told him to fix this with friendship and playing nice, so that's what he is going to do]
If he dumps it on the floor instead of eating it, it'd be a waste of good curry, but I can't say I'd blame him.
[follow him to the kitchen Maya, it's time to cook]
no subject
[ she follows... ]
