ambidex voting #17

[vivariummods]

A M B I D E X  V O T I N G Once everyone exits their respective rooms, Zero's voice will be heard over the speakers: "Proceed into the Ambidex Rooms and cast your vote. You will be given 45 minutes to decide." And with that, the elevator doors open and the PA system turns itself off. It seems as if there are no rewards or any of that nonsense this time around...

[Ah...

This could get interesting.]

Hershel. How did your room go?

[He already seems to be acting a bit on edge, no doubt from the memory. But whose was it...?]

[puzzlinglad]

Sasuke! There you are. [And he walks up, looking Sasuke over with a furrowed brow. When it's clear (hopefully??) that he isn't injured or bleeding out he turns his gaze to Sasuke's actual face.]

You blew up a robot. [Yup, that's your explanation for this. Shut up, he's worried, he was there for the great Jake blowing up a screen incident of '15, explosions suck. 2015 is apparently an exciting year.]

[not_that_sasuke]

[Nope, not a single scratch on him, which is leaps better than his previous room with Heiji.]

...Yeah, we did. But neither of us got hurt.

[Will he actually be believed this time, though...]

But what about you? You had the grey room. Are you alright?

[puzzlinglad]

[It looks like Hershel's suspicious but eventually gives in to the fact that they blew up a robot without killing themselves. He hesitantly calms down a bit.] Bloody miracle you didn't, blowing up a robot, honestly...

Yes, I'm- [He rubs his temple.] I got Alfendi's memory, it wasn't particularly bad but he's very... he's emotional. Intense, even. [He sighs.] I'm sorry if I'm being difficult, I suppose it hasn't worn off yet. I wanted to talk to you but I'm not sure this would be the best time. [Yet he's not leaving...] I wanted to see how you were, after... you know, all that before.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Hey, just look at how blank his expression is, that's surely a better sign than an emotional one.

Right?]

I'm alright. I was more worried about you.

[Hershel's the one who had to listen to that awful memory, so...]

[puzzlinglad]

[Thank goodness the emotionless ninja we all know and love is back to being emotionless.... Hershel shakes his head.]

I'm fine, I mean, until I know what happened maybe she was just very upset- [And he's pacing a bit. Moodswings are literally the worst. Where can he sign up for emotionless ninja instead. He cuts himself off with a sigh.] Sorry, just... don't worry. It'll be alright.

[Meaning repression, yeah, best way to go. He turns back to Sasuke.] Are you busy? Or tired, I suppose, that room isn't exactly easy.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Somehow that reaction doesn't really scream "alright", but...]

No, the room wasn't as difficult as it could have been. Heiji did most of the work. [It was all Sasuke could do to try to keep up.] And there isn't much else to do around here, either.

[puzzlinglad]

Do you want me to show you some fencing techniques? You gave me that lovely foil and I haven't had nearly enough chance to use it.

[And that's more fun than pacing around? Teach the ninja to be more deadly.]

[not_that_sasuke]

You don't need a break first?

[What with. Y'know. Emotions. But if he wants a distraction from it, that's fine too.]

[puzzlinglad]

Honestly I think if I sit around stewing over it anymore I'll likely lose my bloody mind. Heiji said all this wears off I think, I hope so, this is- [Extremely new for him and he's kind of sick of being weirdly angry. How do people do it, man, seriously. ] -exhausting.

[not_that_sasuke]

I think it goes away after a few hours.

[As far as he could tell, anyway.]

Where should we practice?
