[even though he has a combat shotgun strapped to his back and his handgun in plain sight, rufus always acts so nonchalantly about everything. in fact, everything seems to annoy him. there's a moment before he's going to talk before he just shoots something out of a window.]

With Reno being a cat and being stuck he- [another few shots out of a window] as I was saying, I'm stuck here with hoards of the undead. This isn't an invitation for some people to take advantage of my absence.

I don't know what's worse: the zombies or the fact that Dark's employees are - [the feed ends because rufus ended up having to drop his phone to get his shotgun out 8|;;]

[And some people are busy trying to calm down an entire staff and encourage them to start using those knives for more than just slicing tomatoes. Surely this isn't a difficult thing to understand.

But hey, he has all the time in the world to bicker] I heard that.

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

[it would be the real apocalypse if they didn't fight.]

It's almost as if they've transcended a more human level of incompetency. We have extra guns, just each them to point and shoot. [because if you'd want to learn how to do anything, you'd learn from rufus. not that he cares that they can hear him say that.] If we were trapped in ShinRa, we would already be out of here.

[sexforbreakfast.livejournal.com]

[Well if you love ShinRa that much, why don't you marry it. Dark barks out some more orders, yes, the end of the world may have already happened, so you might as well use those precious 200 euro knives because no one's certainly going to be cooking fancily for a while.

They're learning, give them a break. Dark gives them a few moments to themselves and joins Rufus at the window] So the whole theory is that they can't swim, right? We've got that perk here - more or less. We should head to the outer islands. This place is nice but it is still connected to a bridge.

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

[Don't be ridiculous. He understands Dark's hesitance towards the firearms, the last thing he wants to deal with is that raging through Venice and everyone seeing it. Though the whole "thinking about someone else" is still a little unsettling for Rufus, he doesn't give it a second thought and starts coming up with a plan.]

We could blow up the bridge and use it to signal rescue. If worse comes to worse, we'll blow up the car.

[sexforbreakfast.livejournal.com]

No, and over my dead body. What's wrong with just grabbing supplies, going to an island, and signaling from there?

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

[his voice drops to a harsh whisper.] You can go steal yourself another one. It's not as if you have to pay for what you own. We'll get out quicker.

[sexforbreakfast.livejournal.com]

She's more than just a car. What if your precious cat blew up and I said you can just get another one?

[Bicker bicker bicker. Is that pounding coming from downstairs? The undead must have caught the scent of fish and beef from the kitchen]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

[he can't even. Rufus just stares at Dark with that stern expression of his, as if trying to turn back time so that he doesn't mentally strangle him.]

[sexforbreakfast.livejournal.com]

...Well, it is.

[Nevermind the apocalypse. He has a point to make] Look, we're not blasting anything right now. Maybe later, but not now. Sound like a deal?

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

It's a very good thing that you're useful to me in other areas, Dark. [Welp the guns are out.] Lets go.

[sexforbreakfast.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, you can make it up to me later. [His staff is equipped with their precious kitchen knives now? Good, great, time to get out of this. There's not much point in gently opening the door with a dozen zombies outside clawing away, so Dark goes the efficient route by kicking it down]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

[.... well then. Rufus takes his cover, shooting expertly behind him with a handgun.] How annoying.

[material_guy]

Hnnn... Yer kind of an action hero, aren'tcha? Lookin' kinda cool there.

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

I might have experience with guns.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Different types, too. Aren't you just a jack of all trades.

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Flattery will get you nowhere.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Is shooting like that getting you anywhere?

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

No, but it's not the shooting's fault.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Of course not. It's just somethin' that can't be done alone. Even by you.

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

It seems that I'm the only one that can be competent enough to do anything.

[Video]

[material_guy]

This might surprise you, but I've been in a few little scraps. Don't wanna completely blow yer mind, but some people'd even call me kind of experienced in bar fights.

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Then by all means, come and tell these other idiots what do to.

[Video]

[material_guy]

So you're asking for help?

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

For someone else.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Hnnnnn. Someone else's that important to you?

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Are you going to try and discover something that everyone else already knows or are you going to come and kill some reanimated corpses?

[Video]

[material_guy]

It's more like you're not the type to say "thanks, Greed!" so it's like I have to get my own payback for it. Making you say a few embarrassing things should pay off.

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Don't hold your breath.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Do you want a competent guy there on yer side or what?

[Video]

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

If you can make it over.

[Video] Is the zombie world blocked off or should he join the RL or are we handwaving or...

[material_guy]

No please? I'm sure there's not gonna be any kinda thank yous, but... Yer lucky yer cute.

feel free to jump in!

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Keep talking and I might shoot you.

[material_guy]

I'm worth a bullet even in a crisis?

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

You seem to think that I waste bullets. [B)]

[material_guy]

Well, shooting me, even to kill, when you got a bunch of zombie against you and no source of new ones... even if it's just one bullet, that's pretty special. Like gettin' a cheap bouquet from a hobo.

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Is your goal to help me to irritate me to the point that all I do is point and shoot?

[material_guy]

I'm a multi-tasker.

Well, I'll be there in a bit.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

That looks fun!

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Then by all means, you are free to take my place here.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

Can I?!

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

Bring a friend to replace someone else for me and we have a deal.

[swordplaying.livejournal.com]

Who else are you replacing?

[machiavellisms.livejournal.com]

An associate of mine who can't at all handle the situation.
