THE HEART OF THE MATTER - CONCLUSION
| This morning starts off with Calhoun blowing an air horn at precisely 6AM. He will not tolerate anyone sleeping in, and if they attempt to he’ll just keep blowing his horn until everyone gathers in front of the table that he stands on. Upon closer inspection, characters will realize that beside him is a large cage, being held shut with a heavy duty lock, and contains numerous brown envelopes, some more bulky than others. Beside that is a container of lighter fluid and a stack of matches. He puts down his air horn and raises his arms, shaking his head. “Even as tiny as your little brains might be, you should all know that your time is now up! No more shows, because you know what, this is pathetic. Is this really the best that you test subjects can do? We got two more shows yesterday, yeah, but nothing that tingled my spine. How disappointing.” He shakes his head, and then nudges the cage with his paw just a bit. “Well, you all know what that means! You can say goodbye to all your precious memories and further details about your secrets. Everything that you’ve so carelessly gave up on and didn’t care about is right beside me. I will burn everything away, so all twelve of you will never have the chance to get them bac--” And then he suddenly stops. “--Hmmm?” Calhoun stands on his tips of his bottom paws and looks at the room, from one side to the other, pointing at each one silently. “Wait a minute, there’s only eleven of you here! Who are we missing?” He takes a second to go through everyone before answering himself. “We’re missing the Hat-Wearing Test Subject!” During the entire commodation of suddenly being woken up and seeing all your secrets/memories in that cage, minutes before they’re burned away, no one might have noticed that they might have been one person short. Now, looking around, it’s true. Akiko is nowhere to be seen in the group, nor does she seem to be in the warehouse’s lobby. Calhoun lets out a long (clearly dragged out and exaggerated) groan. “Ugh, of all times that she’s out. Just when I was getting all dramatic and in the mood too…” He slumps over, but then he stands right back up again, as if hit with lightning. He points at everyone. “Okay, time out!! Instead, you’re going to find this Annoying Test Subject and bring her out here! I don’t care if you have to drag her from the toilets, just go find her, so I can get to burning your precious things and reveal your secrets!” He will end it with that, and should anyone try to argue against him or attempt to negotiate with him, they will find it worthless. He will refuse to speak and just tell them to hurry up, find their dumb Hooky-Playing Test Subject! He’ll be here waiting, should you find her, so the search begins. However, characters will soon discover that Akiko is nowhere to be seen. She’s not in the warehouse lobby, that’s for sure, but she left her hoodie and hat behind, so she must have stepped out quickly to the washroom. Once going in and calling for her, though, characters will only be greeted by silence in the washroom. Then how about the lounge? Perhaps she couldn’t sleep and wanted to go through a few video games, but yet again, she is not there. How about the second floor of the warehouse? The stairway? The elevator? Everywhere they look, she cannot be found. It’s almost as if she has complete disappeared. Eventually, it will come to the fact that while they have thought they’ve checked everywhere, there was still one room they haven’t searched: The cafeteria. That’s not possible, though, since it’s not like she could be in there. She doesn’t have enough BP, but there’s no where else she can be. A feeling of dread and fear might begin to pool up, as someone pulls on the lever. A metallic groan fills the air, and the doors slide open... |

*Well. That was a pretty damning statement. At the same time, Heiji wasn't yelling, just stating the facts. Snake couldn't really deny that.* Because I didn't hesitate to hurt myself or other people to essentially get something I wanted. Is that what you're telling me?
no subject
"And the way you keep saying all this stuff about people havin' to put up with you and being useless... the heck is that about? You think it's impossible people just like havin' you around? No wonder you got that attitude!" In other words, Heiji was alternately angry at Snake for taking the risk, worried about him and Ema, upset that he saw the need to pull this stunt, and mad at himself for having lent the knife to Snake in the first place.

*He wasn't an optimistic person. He was so opposite Heiji that it wasn't even funny. And yet, without prompting, he did basically say "what are friends for?" Either he was just doing it for fun and he didn't mean it and honestly didn't have a lot of people around him...or he did know the value of friends, but was really bad at consideration.*
*Between him and Hershel, they were giving Snake a whole lot of introspection he really didn't want to get into. So he gives a really annoyed noise in his throat. Which leads to another thought. If he really doesn't want to hear this, he could just get up and leave. It'd be so easy. Except for an even BIGGER annoying reason is he can't do that.*
...what are you trying to be, Heiji? My conscience?

"I just... don't want anything to happen to ya, that's all."

Point taken. And, now that I think about it, potentially offing myself would be a waste considering two things. One, I promised to show you the Space Needle. Two, you promised to give me an audio tour of Osaka. Then we can compare and contrast the two towns on their merits and ultimately see which one is better.

Snake couldn't see it, of course, but the smile on Heiji's face was comprised of utterly honest and open happiness. He just didn't hold anything back!

"Already talked to him. He'll be okay. He was sayin' some weird stuff about a Get Out of Death Free card, but he didn't seem as down as he did at the start."
