A Graveyard Smash




Happy Halloween Vivarium!

The day will start not with Calhoun, thankfully, but with Monster Mash playing. Well, that's cute. That's what you might think if it didn't play again immediately afterwards. Then again. And again. It won't stop all day, enjoy.

Anyone who goes to the first floor warehouse will be greeted by the entire room decked out in the cheapest, cheesiest Halloween decorations available- plastic bats that vibrate angrily, ghosts that make obnoxious sounds and lights when passed, orange and black streamers every five feet.

Calhoun is sitting at his equally decked out shop, dressed in a little witch outfit. When anyone approaches he'll seem pretty upbeat.

"Happy Halloween, Test Subjects! I figured you sorry lot would enjoy a little festivity, so here you go! Don't say I don't do anything for you ungrateful subjects."

"I have a little gift for you too! Seeing as it's Halloween and all, I thought hey, why not play a little trick or treat? In this case with memories! So here's the deal, everyone gets a free memory, but I'm gonna guarantee you here it's going to be a spoooooooky one!"

He cackles. "Of course that can mean a loooooot of things, huh? Your choice! Just go through door number one over here-" He gestures to the door always used when people are taken away for memories. "-or just sit back and enjoy! Boy, it sure will be interesting to see what people pick! I'm on the edge of my seat here."

Shockingly he isn't.

Look, getting shot wasn't... that bad... maybe... okay, it did kind of suck.

Heiji crossed his arms. "I'm sure he had to go through his story down at the station. It wouldn't be the same thing, though. Since you weren't there, maybe this isn't gonna make a lot of sense, but... when he confessed, I could feel the weight of his words. It was the confession of a man who'd been waiting twenty years to finally tell someone what happened. Whatever he told anyone after that, it wouldn't have been the same."

Ah... Even though he couldn't know the weight of the words himself, he does seem to understand a little. "And you're the person he chose to confess to on his own terms." It's not quite the same if it's just something you're required to do...

"...Still, I'm surprised you got involved in something like that to begin with. It sounds like you handled it really well, too." All things considered, escaping from that situation keeping both himself and Sakata alive seemed like a feat in of itself.

What? Sasuke wasn't going to scold him about how dangerous it was -- oh wait Sasuke wasn't Hershel, never mind.

"Of course!" said Heiji, perking up a little. "I wasn't gonna let him just off himself like that! Though it does kinda make me wonder where all these other marks came from."

He held up his hands. "It's probably best if everyone gets a memory that ain't too scary, though, right? Like you and Hershel."
not_that_sasuke: ([Question] worry about)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2014-11-02 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
...No comment on that first part. He can only hope those memories aren't too painful in both the physical and mental sense.

"Hershel got a memory back?" He wasn't sure if he'd go for it, all things considered. It's hard to really blame anyone here for being apprehensive about getting what was guaranteed to be a scary memory of some kind.
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: wistful smile)

[personal profile] detectiveofthewest 2014-11-02 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but it was kinda like yours: not all that scary." Heiji cracked a smile. "Although if ya want, you could always ask him about 'Angela'."

Eheheheheheheh.

"I think it was partly my fault he went in there; probably hearin' my story made him extra determined to go in. I'm just glad it wasn't a bad one."
not_that_sasuke: ([Smile] interested in.)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2014-11-02 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
...? "Is that a friend of his?" He's. Not really getting any particular implication there.

"...That's good, though. Hopefully no one else gets anything too traumatic either." He's actually kind of surprised Calhoun didn't insist on giving them all horrible ones, but maybe they've lucked out for once.
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: wink)

[personal profile] detectiveofthewest 2014-11-02 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Heiji winked good-naturedly at him. "I just wouldn't feel right givin' out that kinda personal information without his consent. You're gonna have to ask him yourself."

Not to worry, Sasuke. You'd understand in a few years.
not_that_sasuke: ([Surprise] Where should I)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2014-11-02 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
...Now he's really confused. "...I suppose I'll have to ask him about it later?" He can't tell if this is just Heiji being weird or if Hershel really does take issue with people talking about the friends he's remembered. Either of them seem about as likely.
