six paintings burned

[thehangedrose]

[You know, maybe Garry shouldn't be so caring over people if it leads him into situations like this.]

[After his rather tumultuous encounter with Aradia the other day, simply because he had wanted to check up on her health and how she was faring, he had fallen to the sickness himself and had dragged himself back to his room, head throbbing with pain.]

[When he woke up after a restless sleep, however, there was no pain anymore. Instead, there was an itch, a prickling in his mind that looked over everything and saw everything wrong with what he saw. He can't take this. He can't just sit idly by and not react to any of this, he hates it all, he hates it, he HATES it. Garry slams the journal down on the desk and opens it, and the quiet malice in his voice is unlike anyone has ever heard before from him.]

Oh, god, I knew opening this journal was a bad idea. All of the blabbering I hear is making my ears hurt...would all of you just SHUT UP for once?!

[A frustrated sort of hiss.]

You just keep going on and on and on, and, honestly, I'd rather you all just stop. There are worse issues here, like, oh, the fact that we're stuck in this place and we may never see our loved ones again, and the only thing you all can gripe about is your pitiful wheezing and coughing. Grow up for a change- I'm not always going to be around for you to play mommy, alright?! Has anyone even said thank you for everything I've done for people? No, and really, I'm not at all surprised.

[Oh, and there's the sound of something breaking- Garry decided he had enough of the mug he took from the kitchen and has tossed it down to the floor, feeling a rush of exhilaration for having broken something in his anger.]

You know, I'm not even sure those people who say they "care" about me really do. People lie all the time, right? You just say those things to make me feel better about my wonderfully pathetic self, and then you'll all betray me and push me to the side for the next person you see, every last one of you! I don't have friends, and frankly, I never will. That's just how my life is, and I've accepted that. I'm no fool, you know.

And one last thing: leave me ALONE. Just don't touch me! Don't go near me, or I swear I'll hurt you.

This is your warning, Paradisa.

[For those out in the castle, they'll see Garry walking around, face contorted in a look that screams "approach me and I'll strangle you". He also has his lighter in hand...and believe him, he knows exactly how to use it.]

[ooc: I only have one angry Garry icon, so I apologize if I just the same icon over and over again in our threads! Stupid icon limit. ;;]

Wow, you talk about your emotions way too much. Have some pride.

[thehangedrose]

Oh, like you'd know about my emotions.

[losttrack]

I don't really care about you, honestly.

[thehangedrose]

Good! That makes the two of us. Now bug off.

[losttrack]

Hey, look, I'm just saying you have issues.

Dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

Who spit in your coffee this morning?

Dictated forever

[thehangedrose]

I don't know, maybe everyone in this place did, did you think of that?

Re: Dictated forever

[whichwayyoulean]

Is that even possible?

[thehangedrose]

I was being sarcastic...I don't even drink coffee!

Just...leave me alone, okay?

[whichwayyoulean]

Okay, Moody. I can do that.

[Guess who's really worried over his friends? This kiddo right here. Unable to stand around the house while all this went on, he'd decided to come back to the castle to see if he could at least help calm his friends somewhat. By letting them divulge in their sin, by distracting them... who knows. He just knew he couldn't do nothing.

He's in such a rush that he doesn't hear Garry coming down an adjacent hallway and nearly runs right into him. Only a last-second dodge to the side makes their shoulders contact rather than a full-on collision.]

Ack! Sorry, sorry-- [And then he sees who it is. A shame he hadn't looked at the journal prior to their meeting...]

Ah-- Garry-kun!

action forever and ever

[thehangedrose]

[There's no pleasure on Garry's face when he bumps into Tsuna- instead, he lets out an angry noise, glaring down him with a sneer.]

Watch where you're going!! Get out of my way!

[And he pushes him aside very roughly, trying to get past him.

[not_mafia]

Agh!!

[Tsuna does get pushed aside and ends up bumping into the wall.] Ow...! [He rubs the back of his head, then looks up at Garry. Well.... there was no ifs, ands, ors or buts about it; Garry had to be infected.

With a frown, Tsuna goes after him, reaching out to grab his shoulder.]

Garry-kun, wait--!

[thehangedrose]

[Oh, no, that was not a good decision, Tsuna, for Garry freezes and turns his head, his visible eye flaring with unbridled anger.]

Did you just...touch me? After I told everybody not to?

[And he turns, stomping his foot down on Tsuna's as hard as he can, his face filled with nothing but the wrath coursing through his body.]

Listen to me! I told everybody to leave me alone, and what do you do?! You IDIOT! Get away from me or you'll regret it.

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna freezes when Garry fixes him with that look. He's so distracted, he doesn't even notice when Garry moves and, yep, that's going to get a loud yelp out of him as he sinks to the ground, wincing as he puts his hands over his foot.

And then he looks up at Garry plaintively.]

G-garry-kun, I said I was sorry, alright?

[Despite the pain in his foot, he gets up and backs off a little before Garry decided to kick him while he was down. He brings his hands up disarmingly.]

Listen, I just want to help you. Because... that's what friends do, remember? They help each other out.

[Holy hell his foot hurts though, and he's still wincing from the pain, trying not to stand on it too much. He wouldn't be surprised if he'd broken a couple of toes, honestly...]

[spongetastic]

People are always complaining about something. It's an endless cycle, so why are you adding to it?

[thehangedrose]

Because maybe we can get people to actually do something rather than sit around and gripe all day! Honestly, where's the initiative around here?

[spongetastic]

They're not going to listen to you. The only way you're going to get anywhere is by doing it yourself.

[thehangedrose]

Oh, right, precious little me, who can do everything all by himself.

I'm one person...getting things done requires a whole lot of people, not just me.

[spongetastic]

But you doing nothing and just complaining doesn't help. Do what you can, and at least you can say you tried.

Action

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena's not listening to your warning, Garry, because that message is so not you. Which, of course, means you need help, so when she finds you roaming the castle, the first words out of her mouth are:]

Are you all right?

Action

[thehangedrose]

[Don't mind him staring you down with pretty much a stare of death.]

Oh, don't ask me if I'm alright! You know I'm not alright, stop being such an imbecile and asking questions that I've already given the answer to!

Re: Action

[ninjainviolet]

[Don't mind getting the same reaction back, then. Jerk.]

Don't call me an imbecile! I'm not the one being an idiot and threatening people!

Action forever and ever

[thehangedrose]

[He'll apologize to you later, Sheena, he swears.]

Oh, then tell me some good ideas, if you're such a genius, then!

Same! :D

[ninjainviolet]

[She will, too, once she gets out of guilt mode]

How about you just shut up and stop trying to invite trouble?
