2 ≠ [dismemberment]

[acrotomophile]

[Dexter had denied him. Again. Dexter had... killed him. But that couldn't be right. Everything was so surreal. His plans had fallen apart, and he'd woken up - here? This place of stars and darkness?]

[Looks around; doesn't see anyone, so he settles on the "ground", folding his legs crosswise. Brian pulls something out of his pocket. It's an older looking Barbie doll, one with coarse reddish hair. It's completely naked, and slowly he starts taking it apart. A leg pops out of a hip joint. Thin, shiny red ribbon is tied around it in a careful bow.]

[Brian considers his options.]

[Just watching him take apart the doll, silent. It reminds Hei of an obeisance.]

[acrotomophile]

[Glances over, but doesn't move. Would feel intruded on, but is too self-assured for that.]

[contract_star]

[Realizes he's staring and blinks, looking away. Wants to know what's going on, so he decides to show concern.]

Is everything alright?

[acrotomophile]

Not really. I'd be lying if I said it was.

[Hasn't met Hei before, so doesn't know what personality to project; stands up, calmly puts the doll pieces and ribbon away. Looks as unassuming as he can.]

[kind of concerned but doesn't know what to say exactly]

...Everything all right?

[acrotomophile]

...I guess you could say I'm having a fight with my brother.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

[frowns] Oh. Brothers can be really ridiculous sometimes. Especially if they don't listen to their siblings.

[acrotomophile]

[sharply] Especially then. I'm his older brother - he should listen to me. I'll look out for him.

['Now that's creepy' look... But since it's a female doll, it's completely ok.]

Oh, the people who had hard childhood. [sighs dramatically]

[acrotomophile]

[smiles a bit, but doesn't look over]

Oh, cause I'm playing with a doll?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Skates closer to look at it, cause hell, it might be something interesting, because it keeps away people's attention from his face.]

Playing in some very unique way~ [smiles] But yes.

[Watches him for a moment then covers his eyes with his cape and turns around] CREEPY!

[acrotomophile]

Oh - sorry. I didn't mean to disturb anyone.

[Brian looks startled, lurches to his feet and puts everything away] No... really. Sorry.

[didorothy]

[thinking that this bloke may not be as sane as he first appeared] Something the matter, sir?

[acrotomophile]

You could call it a personal issue. [seems to suddenly take stock of himself] Ah, yeah, it looks pretty bad, doesn't it?

[self-conscious smile. stands up] And here I thought this was a good place for privacy...

[didorothy]

Some areas are better for privacy than others.

[stares at the doll, aghast and horrified] W-w-what are you doing to her, desu...?!

[acrotomophile]

[blinks - looks over] To her?

[dritte-tochter.livejournal.com]

Yes! You're hurting her, desu...! Why would you do that to her? You need to stop that, desu!

[a bit disturbed by it though says nothing]

[acrotomophile]

[Gets up and stretches, putting everything away in his pockets. Glances over to see if he'll say anything.]

[yourmagician.livejournal.com]

[Unsure if he should really say anything, but decides to speak regardless]

Never expected to see a guy play with a doll.

[all brass and no tact, Daichi walks up with a huge frown]

What're you tearing up a doll for?

[acrotomophile]

Tearing it up? Kinda violent, don't you think?

I'm just taking it apart. It's relaxing. Some people scream into pillows - I take dolls apart. [shrugs, but stays seated]

[cybercentric.livejournal.com]

[scowls] You know what I meant!

Why dolls, though? You got something against girls or something? [not the brightest bulb, no.]
