Truth gas level up

[weiss_tank]

[Phone]

Ok. For all you guys who heard Omi's phone call the other day? All true, except the communist bit. Ok, so I'm an assassin back home. That florist job I keep makin' noise about? Just my day job.

He's lying about the communist thing so ignore that! I MEAN IT! 

I...I'm sorry for lying to all of you, and I know you guys are gonna hate me for this...[He's sad, this truth will make him loose all his friends who think he's a nice, normal dude.] I just wanted a normal life for a while...If it makes you feel any better I don't really enjoy it. Now anyways. Apparently later in my future I start to. Thanks a fuckin' lot Schuldig.

Also, I used to play pro soccer, but my best friend at the time totally screwed me over and destroyed my life. I miss those days, though I kinda wish I could resurrect him and tear him apart again. [This line is followed by a snort of satisfaction.]

[Click....then reclick as he picks it back up.]

You know, thinkin' on it, I actually don't mind the florist job though. I mean, you spend all night destroying life, and all day tending to it. It's kinda relaxing even if the guys make me haul the heavy shit around more then actually doing the arrangements.

Also, Miakis is the best teddy bear known to man, it's like she's a nightmare sponge or something.

[Ken will get to hear a thud on his roof.

And then some muttered cursing and rapid footsteps as The Captain failed his landing.

Off the edge he goes, landing hard in Ken's front yard.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Oh shit... [Ken knows that cursing. He's going to cautiously peek out his front door.]


You ok there man?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

[Picking himself up.]

Yeah, the ground broke my fall pretty good.

[Well, that's not how he intended to start this off but... well, he'll roll with it.]

So, you're an assassin too.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Wait...What do you mean 'too'? [After their discussion on the phone a few days ago, Ken knows he wouldn't have a chance against the Captain if things went south, so he's a bit on his guard.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Your buddy was talking about it. Vice or something like that.

So, you get a lot of hate calls in reply or what?

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Weiss. Ah, you must have been talking to Omi then. [Ken sighed and pulled his hand through his hair]

No, but I have a feeling a lot of people are gonna be avoiding me from now on. Besides, you're a super hero, and what I do is pretty bad.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well I never said I was that great a super hero and it's not like I haven't killed a criminal or... well a lot of them... by accident.

So maybe I'm not the one who should be judging.

Besides, I went on a date with an admitted super villain since I've been here. So your fine.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. I've already lost one friend due to this whole fiasco. I hate this fuckin' town! So what brings you over here anyways?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I kept trying to answer the ☠☠☠☠ phone but you kept hanging up before I could reply.

So I flew over. Your roof's a little too steep by the way.

[It's the same as every other house! Oh well.]

Yeah, just wanted to say don't sweat it okay?

I hear you guys don't kill kids and stuff so I guess you can't be that bad for assassins.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Sorry, about that, I keep getting interrupted by things. [Ken smiles a bit.] Do you want some coffee? I can explain a bit better about what we do.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

How about a beer?

[Not one to turn down an invitation though, he walks on in. Most might want to fear an Assassin, but The Captain is a lot harder to kill.

More importantly, he likes Ken. That's not about to change yet.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Well, alright, as long as you promise not to put a hole in my wall. [Ken may have a few bottles from the 4th still stashed in the back of the fridge. He figures the Captain won't mind so much if they're a bit old.

He leads him inside and opens the bottle for him, getting some juice for himself.]

You see, what Weiss does is more a cross between assassination and being a vigilante. Yes we kill for money, but we go after people that need to be stopped, but the law can't get 'em for various reasons, like money, connections, weird ass psychic powers, that sorta thing.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Sure thing.

[He'll gladly take it. Drinking as he listens and nods.]

Nextwave isn't much better. We were working for a half-assed fake government agency that formed us as a team of super heroes to go shut down the bad guys.

Even when we went rogue, we went up against the things cops just can't take down and we curb stomped them. Monica was against killing, sometimes, and sometimes ☠☠☠☠ happens.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

There's just some people that you can't keep in jail either. They'd find a way out or it just wouldn't be worth it. The idea is better to off 'em before they cause any more problems.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I get you. I mean, trying putting some serial killer who can teleport in a prison and see how long that lasts.

We had a guy back home. The Punisher. He's pretty hardcore. Just a crazy guy with a lot of guns. Still, he's a bit worse than you or me. He'd kill his target and anyone that got between them.

Surprised more people didn't put him down.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Probably because he's helping in some weird way. But seriously? All the innocent people in between? That's just not right man.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I mean accidents happen but he doesn't even seem to care.

So yeah, you guys don't sound that bad. Just getting the job done.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Accidents huh? We try and keep the witnesses down, and sometimes you do have to take out a few bodyguards and stuff but...ugh! [Ken shivers. The Punisher reminds him of some of the people he's taken out.]

Thanks, hah, I'll keep that in mind.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

If anyone gives you a hard time, send them my way and I'll take care of it.

[Chances are he won't accomplish anything. He's just trying to be supportive.]

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Thanks, that means a lot to me. [He wont actually do it because well, The cap would either massacre them, or get himself in shit depending, but its the thought that counts. He's had a hard day and this does make it better.]

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Anytime.

Though, as for that not a communist thing, you might want to keep an eye on your friend. Who knows what this town will do.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

It's not just Omi, Miakis is claiming it too, and she doesn't even know what one is! What the hell is up with this stupid town!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Probably a set up for something bad. They do that sometimes.

I'll keep an eye out. If they start coming for people I'll buy you guys some time.

[weiss-tank.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'd hate to see what the town comes out with to get through you.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

At this point it'll probably be stealing my powers agian.

If they don't, they'll regret sending anything.
