Whoa. You mean you're gonna disable it? My hero.

[Could his voice be any flatter, right now?]

...

What makes you so sure about that?

[sharktrash]

[ Alright that's it, he's finding this guy. ]

[ He abandons his escape quest and marches toward the voice, the fastest he can without jostling his arms too much. ]

[ There's the cell with the guy. No locks, no bars, no nothing. ]

[ Squalo walks right in, expression flat, and kicks at his kneecap all in the span of maybe three seconds. ]

[fiftheclipse]

[Wait no that's not fair. What's even more unfair is Squalo looks so beat up that fighting back just doesn't look like an option at all. At least he's kind of able to back away, but his already existing injuries see to it that that kick still hurts like hell.]

I never tried to say you were locked out! It's the other way! I can't get through that thing like you did.

[sharktrash]

[ Oh no. If only Junpei remembered how beat up he'd made him not a long time ago. Squalo does, but he doesn't seem to think the lack of any mentions of it is weird, though he does lament the fact that Junpei doesn't seem to have learned much from his experience. ]

[ He scowls. ]

What thing? There's nothing here.

[ And to illustrate his point, he walks out again. ]

[ There's nothing - no ripple in the field, no shift in the air, no momentary pauses before he crosses the barrier - it's really as if it's not there at all for him. ]

[fiftheclipse]

...

Try that again, but take me with you.

[sharktrash]

What?

[ Uh, yeah, how about no. ]

[fiftheclipse]

Aw, what's that? Scared to come back in here?

I can't follow you.

[He'll even make it easier, walking right up to the barrier, and stopping with one foot against it.]

Doesn't look like you can pull me, either, but why not give me a shove from behind and see what happens?

[sharktrash]

[ He gets a poisonous stare. But this could actually be interesting so he does walk back in, though keeping a distance from Junpei as he does until he's behind him. ]

A'ight, something's up. Do you remember me?

[ The question is followed by a shove to his back. Come on. Stumble right out of the goddamn moldy room. ]

[fiftheclipse]

Yeah--

[Okay, he didn't think this through. Stumbling face first into that force field was a given. But the contact against all those wounds covering his body? That slipped his mind until now. There's a short grunt of pain that he feels almost guilty to give. Everyone else is worse off, damn it.]

Pretty sure you leave a lasting impression on everyone.

You get it, now? It doesn't work.

[sharktrash]

Hey! Stop resisting!!

[ SHOVES HIS FOOT UP JUNPEI'S BUTT BACK HARDER. come on there's nothing there how much fucking calf strength can you possibly have... ]

Shit, I should hope so. I'm awesome. No, shitwit, I'm talking recently.

[fiftheclipse]

[First the dick pic, now you're touching his ass? Come on, at least take him on a date, first.

But no seriously this is not comfortable at all.]

Resisting what? You're crushing me against this stupid thing.

[So okay maybe there would've been more progress if he'd asked to just get flat out body-checked right through it. But that would hurt even more, right?]

How recent? Cause I figure it's gotta be obvious by now that none of us remember who did what to you guys.

[sharktrash]

[ Bitch he might have but you just came here and begged him to take you so what could he do. ]

THERE'S NOTHING THERE!!

[ SHOVES HARDER and it certainly looks to him like the guy's moving way past where the imaginary barrier was supposed to be. See? It's working! ]

[ ghhhhhhrhrhrhrhr ]

Not that recent. Before this. After Pit.

[fiftheclipse]

[Better make up for it later.

How is there nothing there? Junpei hasn't even had to adjust his footing once since this started. Nothing is happening.]

Did someone bust up your eyes, too? Even if you can't see it, you gotta see I can't get through it!

[He's just going to raise his hands now to try pushing on the force field as well. ... It's not really helping. It's only bringing his attention back to the stinging pain beneath the bandages on his arms. Ow.]

Last thing I remember was you showing me your dick. Wish I could've forgotten that, instead.

[sharktrash]

[ Or during ;) ]

Guess you'll have to fucking live with that!

[ So he... doesn't remember. Death cost? Explains the whole still being annoying toward him in particular thing. And there's hope that'll fix itself once it wears off -- ]

[ His leg cramps and he swears, taking it off Junpei for a moment. The dude stumbles forward and runs right back into his cell while Squalo watches in outrage. ]

-- the fuck are you doing?!

[fiftheclipse]

[Squalo's not that special. Junpei's annoying to everyone. It's a great strategy, really. He can't lose any more of his friends if he tries his best to stop making any.

... Too bad another thing he's not making is progress. This isn't going to work, is it? When the other finally gives up, Junpei lowers one of his hands, careful to keep one up just in case of another kick.]

What? I'm not doing anything. Did you want me to keep leaning on it?

[sharktrash]

[ What a rude guy. Also that sounds totally fake. ]

[ Squalo stares at him as if he'd gone even more insane during the three seconds the last part of this conversation took. He would totally be strangling Junpei by now if he could. Maybe he should bite him to death, too. ]

You just ran the fuck back in, don't try tellin' me you didn't "see" that either!!

[fiftheclipse]

... Are you okay?

[In the head? Because really.]

My feet haven't moved. We've both been right here the whole time.

[Well, he can change that, though. Probably doesn't hurt to turn around and lean his back against the barrier, instead.]

There's no way out until someone takes it down.

[sharktrash]

Yeah, we've both been right here and you keep trying to prove your imaginary barrier exists via the same shitty pantomime over and over. Get a fucking life.

[ b y e he's out of here before he murderates you again with your neighbors watching. ]
