impacter | TP - NISHI / CHAR

[He just sighs as he watches it happen. This is going to be a long hour...]

More that I'm aware what happened the last time we were locked away like this, and wouldn't want to be testing something that could alter my perceptions.

What if you were to be attacked in such a state?

[Char smiles. ehe 😊]

Well then, isn't it good I've got you to keep watch for me? If I were to be attacked in such a state, I could reasonably point to you as the culprit.

And what reasons would I even have to do that?

You have no other choice. Remember, you can't leave.

Please, Danya. Ease yourself.

I only meant, what reason would I have to attack you?

I suppose you'll tell me what I did to your face is water under the bridge, and that you, the bigger person, have moved on from it.

[lmaoooooo]

But I wouldn't, if I were you.

Just because you asked me to hate you doesn't give me reason to. And it doesn't mean I'm pleased with you, either. Far from it.

If anything, I'm concerned about what in the world you've even been getting up to.

[The helmet and mask come off when the heat grows sticky, his patience for it growing thin.]

Concerned for your own sake? That would make sense, but if you're that leery of me, why haven't you done something about it?

[Like try to kill him, or at the least, make him a less credible threat through some other means?]

[Pft.

His head leans up against the wall of closed beds, staring towards the ceiling.]

Because I have other things to keep in mind here than just chasing down a single man for a wrong done. I've put up with stranger and far more dangerous things.

[...]

Are you mentally ill, Solomon?

[Honest, genuine question! It takes abnormal to know abnormal, and what Solomon is so eager to write off is not at all normal. But also... how dare he not have any lingering sentiments over what Char did to him? Don't forget about him?!?]

[He just

bursts into laughter.]

Ahahah -- who knows! Someone probably thinks so.

[

ive been saving those the whole game im glad they're being used on char]

Don't look so pleased with yourself.

[what the fuck is solomon.....................]

Besides, you've just proved my earlier point. You aren't inclined to hurt me, therefore, you won't let harm come to me either.

[Even if it's self-inflicted.]

I don't ever remember arguing against that, do you?

Unless you plan to go strangle someone else while I sleep peacefully.

[The effects hit swiftly, just as Yugamu warned. Maybe that's why, when Char moves to peel himself off the wall in search of an halfway infirmary bed, his helmet and visor clatter to the floor. He doesn't react, doesn't move to retrieve them, simply passes by to drop onto a bed in decidedly inelegant fashion. Who cares? It's only Solomon. He can afford to be a little uncouth.]

That's a pretty blatant accusation, Solomon. Do you take me for a killer?

...

I take you for a very unpredictable kind of man. A troubled man. Searching for something hard to grasp in a place that promises that you can have anything you want, if you prove yourself deserving.

[His eyes settle on the visor, rather than on Nishi.]

Even a kind man can kill, if they feel they must.

[son of a bitch, who told him

Ah... But he's truly become so transparent? No— there have always been those who see past his mask, but the admittance of such makes those people liabilities. Solomon is a danger purely by virtue of what he knows, and that—

...Well, in his current state, that makes him laugh.]

I wasn't kind when I put my hands around her throat.

[Sika called him vulnerable and emotional. Amuro accused him of the same. The people who know him must loathe him.]

I was deliberately unkind... just as I was to you.

[...]

The marks you left told a story, yes. [There's a confident coolness to the statement. He knows exactly what Nishi is talking about.]

Did you at least bother to tell them of what horrible sin they had committed to you? Or did you become judge, jury, and executioner in the scarlet of your rage?

Edited 2025-08-29 20:37 (UTC)

[...Ha. Hahaha. He can't bite back those peals of nervous laughter before they break out of him, leaving him ill down to the pit of his stomach. And the way Solomon is poised to judge him, condemn him— he feels sick.

Leave it to Char to double down and make a bad situation worse. No one hates Char as much as Char does.]

Of course I did. I even begged her to tell me why she'd flagrantly betray my trust and feed the rumor mill directly. She refused to tell me, of course.

Edited 2025-08-29 20:56 (UTC)

[It's hard to parse what to consider genuine, not knowing when Nishi's mind will start to swerve under whatever it is he'd put into his system minutes ago. So he lets his initial kneejerk question settle, keeping his voice steady.]

I take it you heard something that you believe only Sika would have known, then? [Just gonna put that name out there. They both know.] Did they tell you that they'd done it deliberately?

[Char rolls onto his side, the room tilting around his axis— dizzying, maddening, both too fast and too slow at once.]

So what if she did?

[Of course they did. What sickens Char isn't the fact itself, but not knowing why. Knowing that Sika felt she had no other choice, yet refusing to say what drove her there.]

The result is the same either way. I asked her a question. She refused to explain. So I punished her.

Well. I suppose you're consistent, at least.

But I have to wonder if you've ever actually wanted to have a dialogue in the first place, Danya. Sika's not the easiest to get information out of, sure, but... seriously? You went for that sort of threat?

[Because that sounds pretty close to exactly what happened between the two of them.]

[The heat is almost unbearable now. Solomon will end up with a sweaty turtleneck draped over his head when Char shucks it off and tosses it aside.]

Who knows? Maybe I was just looking to pick a fight. That would track with your experience.

[why would you do this to him IT'S ALREADY SO WARM IN HERE]

[Sighing back underneath a grimace, he peels the foreign clothing off of him, getting up to instead drop it next to where Nishi's helmet and visor have been discarded.]

Me? I've fought with only one person besides yourself, and at least I had a productive end goal in mind when I did it.

Here I'd think you're projecting.

[Char chuckles, deliberately overlooking Solomon's attempt to make this conversation even halfway productive. As far as Char sees it, what's done is done. He's committed a sin against someone important to him, and he can't walk it back. As always, the ones who get close to him inevitably find themselves burnt.]

Do you think a proper fight would settle the score between us? Solomon.
