[Killian sees the post.

Killian goes to find Shou.

Killian calmly takes any booze near his roomie away]

Just doing what you asked.

[ursoreckless]

[heeeey that was his sake. Shou will direct a pout at him, but doesn't really reach for it.]

I thought I said to bring me a case?

action

[youngestone]

You said keep it away from you first.

[He sighs]

What happened?

[ursoreckless]

I know, I know.

[slumping a little in the couch, he draws his legs up and rests his chin on his knees.]

Remember how I talked about this guy the other was shooting at? The one where they were treating the gunfight as kinda game?

[youngestone]

Vaguely, yeah. Why? Was it about that?

[ursoreckless]

I got a memory of why the other me was so sad when it came to Son.

[youngestone]

....do you wanna talk about it?

[ursoreckless]

[he curled his toes, shrugging slightly and then sighing.]

I guess...

[youngestone]

Well...I'm here if you need to?

[HE IS BAD AT THIS]

[ursoreckless]

I know...

[it took him a few moments to work it out in his mind before puffing at his own ridiculousness.]

What would you choose: family or power?

[destinedforrock]

"Ten years".

Is a clue. [Ears switch. Dubiously interested.]

[youngestone]

Family.

[Quickest answer ever. Also the most obvious one, for Killian]

[Video]

[ursoreckless]

Yeah... [he tries a smile but it's a little strained.]

It's a clue as to why that other me was fighting with someone who had been his best friend.

[ursoreckless]

Son chose power over his family.

From the conversation I remembered, the other me and him were like family. They ran together, they did things together, they were a family bound by friendship. And then Son joined the most powerful group out there and turned his back on his family.

/marks this because this is probably echo worthy but I gotta double check after sleep

[youngestone]

[Killian is quiet for a moment before reaching over and squeezing Shou's shoulder]

I'm sorry, man. Did Other You and him run for ten years?

XD

[ursoreckless]

I think they were friends for a while and then ten years they were not. They talked a lot about the changes of the city and how they changed and grew apart, but other me, he was angry and sad by how Son viewed their friendship as being a time they grew apart.

[youngestone]

Can't blame him, really. No offense, Shou, but I don't think I like the sound of what kind of life your past self had.

[ursoreckless]

It wasn't a good life. Not from what I've seen.

[destinedforrock]

[She detects the strain. One of her ears deliberately cocks.

She tips her head upward a little - pang of secondhand sorrow, indeed.] As in... he'd been fighting his friend for ten years - or. They'd been fighting over something that - happened ten year ago, although I suppose one would. Lead to the other... [Her voice takes on a pressed nasal quality. Acknowledges she's probably being a little glib.]

[youngestone]

At least this one's pretty good, yeah? I mean, nothing like that's happened to you, right?

[Video]

[ursoreckless]

They were fighting over something that happened over ten years ago.

[ursoreckless]

Yeah, this one is good. I have my family and my friends. I don't have to struggle for anything if I don't want to...

The other me would've hate me.

[Calista is going to choose to keep him away from the sake. It sounds like an all over better idea.

She will come over to where he is and place a hand on the sake, pulling it away from him slowly.]

Action;

[ursoreckless]

[he was sitting on his comfy couch, wearing little more than some sleeping pants and smoking as well as drinking. at her appearance and the theft of his drink, he pouts a little but doesn't grab for it.

he did say to take the drink away after all.

but anyways he will draw his legs up and sort of curl in on himself while trying to muddle over the memories.]

Action;

[sugoku]

[Placing the sake on a table and pushing it far enough out of his reach to not worry about it, the woman will come to sit on the couch with him, turning her eyes to look rake up his body language.

She was dressed decently enough, as to not bother Killian since she was over. A form-fitting tanktop and shorts was what she had on.]

What was ten years?
