@Ryouko

Kiiros got up on his own accord still seething with rage and hatred, he whipped around to face Ryouko with a savage look and struck him across the face with the back of his hand, his expression changing from anger to shock in a split second. "...I-... I didn't mean..." he immediately drew his hand back, not really sure why he hit him, he hardly knew the guy.

[Ryouko]

@Varicke

Ryouko's head snapped to the side, his cheek bruised. His expression was too, of shock. Then, his face went back to its normal view. Yet, Ryouko still looked back at Kiiros and shook his head. '...I knew he wasn't all that bad. He felt bad for hitting me just now.' He spoke to Kiiros after a moment, his smile still present on his face. Ryouko was probably the only guy who would take a smack and still be calm.

"...Kiiros, I understand. It's anger discharging from your body. Trust me, I've went through worse. Just grab the knife and c'mon, dude. I...wanna talk to you, too. Just a person to person talk."

He said this with a calm tone, showing he wasn't influenced by the backhand. In all honesty, he had suffered a lot worse. But so had Kiiros, most likely, to make him this way.

Ryouko understood what he could about Kiiros.

[Varicke]

@Ryouko

Shock changed to confusion, then uncertainty, then amazement. 'He's actually... smiling?' Kiiros wasn't sure just what kind of person Ryouko was, but his calm demeaner was kind of unnerving him. 'No, he's angry, not-' he was interrupted when Ryouko started claiming that he understood he was simply frustrated. The guy just seemed to shrug off the whole thing like it was nothing. 'What the hell do I do when they don't get mad!? Do I just forget about it? Do I say sorry?' he was slightly fidgeting in awkwardness. Ryouko then said he wanted to have a talk with him, setting alarms off in Kiiros' head. 'Nope he's mad, definitely mad, he's planning something, there's no way he'd want to just have a 'talk' with me after that, let alone telling me to grab a weapon when the guards just told me not to touch them.' "..Uh, I can't. I- I mean I don't want to... I don't feel like it anymore." he crossed his arms, putting on a mock pout to try and hide his confusion.

[Ryouko]

@Varicke

Luckily, Ryouko knew what confusion looked and felt like. He had felt it a lot around the people in the group in the spare times they had spoken. Sighing sofly, Ryouko slammed his palm into his head and laughed softly. "Relax, dude. I literally just want to talk. If I have to, I'll set down my weapons and let you grab one yourself."

Ryouko was nearly doubled over laughing on the inside, because of how Kiiros seemed so awkward at his ease with the slap. But he only acted as if it wasn't anything huge. "The guards can go and shoot themselves with their guns for all I care. I just wanted to talk." He said, as he looked at Kiiros and then slid his hands into his pockets.

Man, Ryouko was strange.

[Varicke]

@Ryouko

Narrowing his eyes, he seemed to relax but definitely looked weary. "I'll come and talk with you.. but I'm not grabbing a weapon." that red switch blade seemed to cry out to him with a glint, Kiiros looking at it as if it spoke to him. 'It's okay honey... I'll come back for you later...' dramatically acting in his head as if he was about to be separated from the one thing in life that truly understood him. "Ahem.." he snapped out of it. "...I just don't want to start another fuss with the guards is all."

[Ryouko]

@Varicke

Ryouko nodded and then walked back into the room with the automaton, sitting against the wall where it had fallen. He eyed it and then the blade at his left side, grinning softly. He looked at Kiiros, because he bet Kiiros would have followed, or hoped he did, and spoke. "I often think if people knew what I was thinking sometimes, I'd be dead within seconds. But you...You don't care what they think, is what it looks like. You're blunt and extremely honest. You don't seem all bad to me, is what I'm trying to say. The slap? I saw how you didn't know what you were doing. That's why I wanted to talk. Are you alright, Kiiros?" Ryouko asked, as he took off the blades and set them in front of him. He wanted to understand the Pyrokinetic, honestly. Asking if he was okay would be shocking, considering Kiiros had slapped him.

But Ryouko was Ryouko. And he understood more than the average person his age.

[Varicke]

@Ryouko

"Am... am I okay?" He didn't entirely understand the purpose of this 'talk' they were having. He didn't know why Ryouko would even care. 'This guy definitely hasn't known me for long. If only he knew about the victims of my sadistic cruelty. Unless... he's like me and just doesn't care.' "I'm fine. I don't know why I wouldn't be, I'm not exactly dying. I have no injuries or anything." he figured Ryouko was talking about his physical well being, not his mental. Frankly that never crossed his mind since nobody ever bothered to ask him if he was right in the head.

[Ryouko]

@Varicke

"I can see that you are good physically. It's easy to see that. I meant Emotionally, Mentally." Ryouko replied, as he looked at Kiiros. He didn't guess that anybody had talked with Kiiros about how he was besides his physical condition. He guessed noone had ever tried to understand.

[Varicke]

@Ryouko

"Mentally? What are you a psychologist all of a sudden?" he hated when people tried to understand him in a psychological view. His parents would constantly make him see psychiatrists and counselors for his violent behaviour. He always felt attacked with their questions. But Ryouko was practically just a kid to him and he didn't seem too bad. He decided to give him the benefit of a doubt. "Well... where do you want me to start?" he's not sure how to begin with something like that.

[Ryouko]

@Varicke

He chuckled softly as Kiiros asked him if he was a psychologist. "I'm no doctor. I'm just someone who wants to understand. A teenager who has been through a lot and wants to help others when he can." He then turned to face Kiiros fully, showing he was listening.

"Start from the beginning, if you're alright with that."

He said this with a calm tone, as he didn't want to Rush Kiiros. He had seen enough of those people who wanted to speed things along and didn't actually care.

He hated them.

[Varicke]

@Ryouko

He wasn't comfortable at all with this and was very reluctant to say anything. 'I really don't want to have this conversation anymore, this was a bad idea.' he hated remembering the past. He decided to try and play it off and see if he could frustrate Ryouko, hoping he would just give up and leave. "Well... my mommy and daddy loved each other very much...." what a perfect way to start.

[Ryouko]

@Varicke

Ryouko then laughed softly and rolled his eyes, but then he stopped laughing. "I've seen people die and women have terrible things done to them. The birds and the bees talk was out of the window the first day I spent on the streets. Kiiros, I just want to try and listen to what has happened to you. I understand if you're uncomfortable with telling me, but You've got to let it out or it's gonna hurt you later."

Ryouko was speaking calmly, his head level and his tone firm. He didn't want to pressure Kiiros, but he didn't want him to be alone either.

[Varicke]

@Ryouko

'Not good.' he's been private all his life, just suddenly letting it all out didn't feel right. It's like every part of his very being was repelled by this conversation. Telling him to start from the very beginning was also highly overwhelming. "Can we uh... start with questions or something?" he immediately regretted saying that. He honestly wanted no part of this. He began to eye the exit, his body's way of subconsciously betraying him saying he wanted to leave.

[Ryouko]

@Varicke

Ryouko then shook his head. "Questions are terrible. I hate it when people ask how I felt about that and I refuse to do that to anyone else...If you really need to, I can stop trying to pry into your past. But...It's the past. We can determine our futures right now and not worry about what we've done...And I needed that. This is a clean slate, and I just want to help you if you really need someone to talk to. Even if I'm younger than you." Ryouko knew it wasn't the time to try and help Kiiros, though he wanted to. He just wanted Kiiros to know he wasn't alone.

[Carlsberg]

@KatherinWinter

"Do you have problems moving around with wings?" Jen asked, wondering how she could help this girl out, "If you do, maybe you should practice that before you try picking up a weapon."
She looked back over to the rack of guns.
"If you need anything, just ask. I'm gonna practise a bit more," She said, before standing up to go.

[KatherinWinter]

@Carlsberg
"I am used to my wings. I know how they would reack. The kick back of the guns would throw me off balance like it did V but it would do it every time for along time. Even if I kept them folded my balance is different then yours. It's like... imaging carrying a large awkward backpack. It would affect everything a little bit. I don't think most of these weapons would work well for me. If they want us to use all of them I will be here forever." Katherin explained.

[Carlsberg]

@KatherinWinter

Jen tapped her chin for a moment. She walked over to the wall before finding a relatively small pistol. She walked back over to Katherin, holding it up.
"This is a Beretta M9. It loads 9mm bullets. It's probably got the least recoil out of any gun here, and your stance or body weight doesn't matter that much. Want to give it a shot?" She asked, smiling at the winged girl.

[Varicke]

@Carlsberg@KatherinWinter@Ryouko

It felt like a weight was lifted off his shoulders when Ryouko decided to just let it go. He didn't like sharing his past and hated it when people got far too personal. Heading back to the gun racks he decided to take a look at some, feeling the eyes of a guard on the back of his head. He turned to face one of them standing close by. "Can I at least hold one, not loaded?" the guard looked to another across the room that gave a slight shrug saying 'Just keep an eye on him.' before grabbing a random pistol and making sure it wasn't loaded and slowly handing it to Kiiros. Examining the gun in his hand, Kiiros felt a surge of adrenaline as he gripped the handle. It was a sense of familiarity. The pistol was a Mamba, semi-automatic. He used one before back in Galevein, granted he took it off of another criminal after disarming him. A smirk slowly creeped across his face when an idea hit him. He headed to where Jen was, the guard following behind a few metres away. Kiiros gave a whistle to grab her attention before holding the gun up and aiming it at her head, pulling the safety back.

[Carlsberg]

@Varicke

Jen brought her hand up quickly, grabbing the gun and twisting it out of Kiiros's hand, before flicking the safety back on.
"Very funny," She said, handing the gun to a guard, "Let me guess, you're the sort of person who laughs at their own jokes as well?"
She couldn't really be bothered with dealing with Kiiros at the moment. At least, when he was in this sort of mood.

[Varicke]

@Carlsberg

He snatched the gun back from the guard, he wasn't finished playing with it yet. Funny how the guards never seemed to care when it was one of the mutants he threatened. "To say I laugh at my own jokes would be an understatement. Nobody matches my humour but me." he playfully aimed the gun at her again, pretending it was a tiny sniper rifle, looking through an imaginary scope, taking the safety off again and pulling the trigger. "...Pew." he gave out a laugh after it made a click, finding his own childish behaviour amusing. "One could say it was a little act of revenge for punching me earlier, but I suppose there's always room for another."
