[ Aoi's dressing room does, indeed, have armor inside of it. He's laid it carefully in a corner and hung up the underclothes on the hangers he got his jeans and tshirt off of. Otherwise, his dressing room is pretty bare. He's got no possessions from either home gathered inside, except a hell of a lot of scarves.

When they get in, he flops down on the chair and slumps down on it, looking up at Rudolf. ]

So. Where should we start?

[Rudolf opts to lean against a wall.]

I dunno, you're the one with all the info. Guess I'd better warn you, Kyrie's the brains - I mean, I'm not stupid or anything but I'm used to getting her advice and planning things out with her input, if it's not entirely her idea to start. She's also a lot better at getting shit done, so if you're hoping for more of that...not quite.

[jinglebros]

So basically, I'm gonna have to lead you around by the hand. Don't worry, that's pretty damn useful.

[ It makes Rudolf a tool to use, and what could be better than that? ]

Let's talk about how this went last time for her. She had a pretty great thing going, then she decided to betray the two people who looked up to her the most and got herself screwed in return. So if you think about doing something like that, you're going to end up the same, got it?

People are real big about trust around here.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Fuck off that's not what I meant!

[He's not a dumbass that can just be used! He's just not Kyrie the mastermind.

But on the subject of Kyrie's fuckup, he sighs, nodding.]

...Seriously? Don't worry, I'm not about that.

[jinglebros]

You're going to have to prove it. Both that you're smart and that you're not going to betray.

[ Aoi inches his boot along the ground as he stares down at it. There's dried blood along the seams of it. ]

I'm not inclined to trust.

[gunsgoldgirls]

You think Kyrie'd want an idiot for a husband?

And like I said, if you're really that important to her, then I've got a promise to keep.

[jinglebros]

Good point. She'd rather kick an idiot's ass than jump into bed with one.

[ ew aoi just grossed himself out ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[Don't think about your mom in bed--]

You got that right! She'd have fucking killed me. So obviously I'm a pretty smart and reliable guy.

[jinglebros]

[ Aoi sits up a little. ]

Okay, but then why'd you let her kill mistresses? Or were you happy with her doing that? Cleaning up the mess?

[gunsgoldgirls]

--What?

[He stares at Aoi, feeling the blood drain from his face.]

Did she...tell you she does that?

[jinglebros]

Yes.

[ Stares back at him. ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

I didn't... I didn't even know that.

[He curses under his breath, and paces the room as much as he's able.]

You mind if I smoke in here?

[jinglebros]

...yes. You should probably pace the cigarettes if you're addicted anyway, you won't be getting more.

[ He feels bad, now, and there's an apologetic look on his face. ]

It only happens sometimes, if that helps...?

[gunsgoldgirls]

I think I got a couple packs in my luggage...

[Hopefully. He kind of let Kyrie take care of all that, and she might have put it in her own bag. But it's still true he doesn't know how long it's going to be, so holding out as long as he can is a good idea.]

Ugh, I mean, I know she's got it in her, but...you get me?

[jinglebros]

...yeah. I get you.

[ Aoi crosses his arms. ]

My sister's like that. I know she's got it in her, but I'm still shocked every time she does what she does.

[gunsgoldgirls]

Yeah, it's just like that. What're you supposed to do when you love somebody like that? It's not like you're gonna turn them in. But it's fucking terrifying. Especially if they're real sweet when they're not doing crazy shit! Just a few hours ago I was watching her bring our sick kid breakfast in bed and mess around with Battler, now I'm hearing she's fucking murdered more people than I know about.

[jinglebros]

My sister tried to stab me last time around. She also volunteered to put battery acid in the soap dispensers. Never actually happened, but she was sure willing to do it. I know she would have, considering some of the other shit she's done.

That's who Mom betrayed me about. She tried to kill Akane when she promised she'd save her life. Maybe she saw some of herself in her and wanted to cut it out.

[gunsgoldgirls]

....Christ, what's with women these days, huh? Does it actually get that intense, or was your sister going as overboard as it sounds?

I wondered if you meant she betrayed you...I guess that doesn't make me sound too reliable either. But I'm not too certain she has a concept of guilt, while I sure as hell do. That makes a difference.
