(no subject)

[One is standing.

His posture is immaculate as ever, but there is a contradictory feel to his body that hints at both the casual and the tense, a taut equilibrium that adds the slightest hint of individuality to an otherwise uniform manner. It could be observed that in his right hand he is holding, loosely, a straight razor. His head is tilted every so slightly, as if he is intensely focused on a sound inaudible to anyone else.

One is standing, and has been since the very second that the day turned. He has made no movement in all that time, except for one: every hour, on the hour, the straight razor's blade slides out and is then smartly clicked back into the handle.]

[enter, Ray, sometime in the late afternoon, early evening (at least by his time). hello, One]

Well, don't you look the part of the statue.

You must be mistaken. [smirk] Haven't got a thing.

[And there's the cold tip of a gun making Ray's scalp chilly.]

Sorry, you'll have to repeat yourself.

[Ray goes immediately stiff as soon as he feels the gun at the back of his head, though he says nothing - which could either be defiance or fear]

[There's a quiet pause for a moment. Spoken in that slow, cold, smooth Matrixy way,]

Well?
gotitwrong: (down at the juke joint)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-22 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I don't- I don't have it. I can't get it. [he's keeping himself as even as possible, and distinctly detached. fuck he wishes he could just kill the both of them right now]

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-22 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Two sounds vaguely sympathetic in a very put-on, dark, dripping-with-sarcasm kind of way.]

Oh, that won't do, will it?
gotitwrong: (i am your main man)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-22 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[he tightens one hand into a fist as he's more or less forced to expose his throat] Nothin' I can do 'bout it.

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-22 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Is that your final answer?

Think carefully.
gotitwrong: (i am your main man)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-22 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[he grits his teeth] I said there's nothin' I can do 'bout it.

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Two reaffirms his grip on the gun, readying, and says nothing.]
gotitwrong: (got my cycle outside you wanna try?)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-23 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[and his breath quickens just a bit] Doin' this ain't- ain't gonna get it back. [he's now trying to find a way not to get shot in the head, now. because he's quite certain there'll be no one around to talk them out of it]

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Two leans in, voice dropping.]

And what will?
gotitwrong: (you'd soon be seein' double)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Just wait. I can't get it now, I said. Might... might be able to when things clear up.

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Two eases the gun back slightly, but his voice is more harsh.]
When?
gotitwrong: (you'd soon be seein' double)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-23 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[damnit] Another week or two. Gotta let things clear up... and the might is dependin' on if I get caught.

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Two raises an eyebrow at One over Ray's shoulder. He sounds mildly amused.]

What do we think?
gotitwrong: (i am your main man)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-24 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
A week in which I couldn't do a fuckin' thing!

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Nor are your insubstantial excuses.
gotitwrong: (got my cycle outside you wanna try?)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-24 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ain't my fault neither of you wanna listen to the truth! 'sides, like I said, shoot me, and you ain't ever gonna get it back.

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Two stays silent for a moment, weighing his options. He doesn't really care about the knife; he just hates being told no. He pushes the gun against Ray's head slightly.]

Do you enjoy being alive?
gotitwrong: (you'd soon be seein' double)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-24 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
's a stupid question.

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Two cocks the gun. :|]
gotitwrong: (you'd soon be seein' double)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-24 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[and again his breath quickens. he doesn't say a thing, because right now, he's more focused on keeping what composure he can]

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Two takes that as a 'yes.' He rather abruptly lowers the gun, but puts a hand firmly on Ray's shoulder and speaks into the opposite ear.]

One more week.

[And lets go.]
gotitwrong: (got my cycle outside you wanna try?)

[personal profile] gotitwrong 2008-12-24 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[he's cut and punched, but after One phases through him, Ray gets the hell away from them and makes a very quick exit by dropping from the Plane]

[identity profile] tworiffic.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Two's head turns slightly, slowly, to kind of almost face his twin at an angle, and the smallest of smiles breaks the usual stoicism of his expression.]
