[Locked from anyone the labors are directed at, dated soon after Vanessa leaves.]

[unknownrival]

If anyone was concerned after seeing Vanessa's post - I'm still alive. Being stomped on hasn't really assisted my recovery from the aforementioned gunshot wounds, but it could have been much worse.

Three labors down, twelve to go.

...I wish I could explain myself. I have a reason! If they knew why I was doing this, I know they'd agree it's more important than their inns or their labs or their collars. I just - if I explain, I've broken my agreement, and it's all for naught. It's too important to let it all be for naught.

((Cuddy's underwear is next. Arc, do you want to start interfering?))

Of course you've never encountered that, officer.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

What, objectionable morals in the face of the law?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I meant having to compromise your own morals, or having conflicting ones.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

Are you actually going to explain your reasons when this is all over and done with or are you just trying to get people off your case?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'm actually going to explain.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

With the hope that your victims are going to understand and forgive you?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I'll be hoping, but I don't expect to be forgiven so easily. Still, I've withheld enough, I have to give my reasons.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

I doubt someone putting their boots on to...whatever it was she wanted to do will expunge you that easily, letting you be left alive or no.


Still, that's assault.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Stomp on me, mainly. And if you've never had someone stand on gunshot wounds you just recently incurred? Don't try it, it isn't fun.

This place isn't so much for the 'prosecution of crimes' as it is for the 'taking revenge for crimes'.

The "magical" healing potions didn't cure you well enough?


That's a pity as well.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Not quite completely, I'm afraid.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

Then that's not very good "magic," is it?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Anything that can stop bleeding instantly, closes the wound, and reduces pain to a manageable level is something I am grateful for.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

...does it keep it from scarring?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Considering that the particular witch who produced the potions doesn't really specialize in healing, I'm not certain. It could very well, but it wouldn't be a great loss if it didn't.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

Where did it hit?

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Shoulders, upper arms, and hand. I was shot several times.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

Nowhere vital then.


Unless it hit one of your arteries.

Issei knows even less about bullet wounds than I do.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I don't think the person who shot me was really aiming to kill, consider that I hadn't even touched any of her things.

Well, it could have. I'm not certain how much blood is supposed to come out.

that's fine! There's an artery near your shoulder/collarbone whose name I can't remember.

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

That's quite fortunate for you, then. There is an artery that runs in the general area of your collarbone/shoulder that can have you bleeding out in a few tics of Big Ben.

I had to look up what areas wouldn't be vital. Thank God for little_details.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

I think it took longer than that to get back to the car, so it couldn't have struck an artery.

...is that a community?

[angledtwat777.livejournal.com]

Well, good for you.

Yup.

[stripping.livejournal.com]

Heh, thank you.

...niiiice.
