inthecenterfold | #50 -- Quit underestimating us (Radio Memory)

[A chair's legs are coming up & down off the floor, the sound of tape-wrap coming off the roll can be heard, and the definite rustling of clothing alongside two men shouting]

That hurts, dickwad! Wrap with goddamn care! [This is Smoke's voice, loud and clear]

This is nothin'! Deal with it! I already said -- now, now -- should do it an' not me! [This is a young adult male's voice, some would recognize as an older Meatbun. The green is clearly not his voice, but an older man Smoke's age.]

Hell no!! The monkey makes the wounds, the monkey fixes the wounds!

Aw, c'mon. I didn't hurt you that--

THREE RIBS! YOU BROKE THREE RIBS! That a big frickin' deal! [Smoke's voice definitely got louder & angrier there]

I said I'm sorry. [Meatbun/Goku is grumbling a little]

Bah! I want you to think about what you did. [Smoke is being snide here] First you go on a rampage, then you sleep while the rest of us're hurt--

I'm sorry. ... ... I'm really, really sorry. [The sadness and frustration was much more evident in Meatbun/Goku's voice that time]

... *sigh* [Then comes the sound of someone being forcibly yanked closer]

WHA?!

Moron. Ease up, okay? [Smoke's voice is suddenly much softer and empathetic... almost brotherly] What you did wasn't wrong. Remember that. It was the only way for us to beat Kougaiji. And hey, it turned out all right. Right? [This is accompanied by a hair ruffle. The red voice sounds like a shout during combat, and not Smoke/Gojyo's voice]

Uh... mm. I still don't remember it. Or I don't remember things, anyway. [Meatbun/Goku sounds like he's both horrified and yet blaming himself] But I remember my hands. I was really tryin' to kill. An' I wasn't just after Kougaiji either. I was gonna kill you. An' -- now, now. An' ... -- just die -- even. [The green is the same voice as earlier, while the purple sounds like Moon. Meatbun/Goku is verging into sad tones in his voice now] That's why I ... I ...

*THWOCK!!* [It's the sound of something heavy impacting a human skull]

ERK. WHAT TH' HELL, -- geez ow -- ?! [Meatbun/Goku sounds like he did at the beginning now. The black voice sounds like Smoke.]

Quit underestimating us, you little snot. [Smoke's voice is firm and retaliatory, like he was just seriously insulted] Do you really think we suck so hard that you could kill us? First off - cut your disgusting little apology for killing me. Open your eyes. I look dead to you? [Sarcasm and 'tough love' enter his voice now] You couldn't kill me when you tried. Too. Bad.

[There's the sound of a door opening and Smoke's tone visibly shifts to the comic-charmer] 'Sides, I'm already planning on dying with a beauty on top of me. I'd never let someone as stupid as you kill me.

That hurt, you perverted kappa! Eat this!

[The memory fades out to the sound of wry laughter from West/Hakkai] Ah ha ha... [It's clear now that it was his admonishments from twice earlier]

[Added when the radio crackled-laughter fades away] ... Well that's a relief.

[ ... That was so fucked up. How can he even. ]

[ He'll just go in order from the most to least tsundere response to give. ]

Smoke is a pervert.

Man you too?

... Ah well, fine, sure, I'm a pervert. Been called worse.

Heh. [smiles] Not that I hold it against you, or anything.

[ A quiet sigh ]

... I'm sorry. That... I don't know what any of it really meant, but it sounds...

[ A less-innocent person would say 'fucked-up' ]

... difficult.

I would rather that you were merely a pervert.

That was actually good for me to hear. It means they survived.

Sounds like you had your share of troubles in the past.

That? [He laughs] That's actually probably the uh... 'happiest' memory I've ever had.

Hnn? [He sounds faintly surprised.] ...like I said, your share of troubles.

[Pause, now he's curious.] Were the other memories so bad?

Yeah... yeah they were that bad.

I, um. It's good you survived.

[ What else is there even. ]

Story of my life - then and now.

It sounds like you led a difficult life.

Not more than anyone else, I think? We've all got stuff we'd rather keep buried - and looks like the Sphere knew that.

You... seemed to have led a high risk life.

[There is a sliiight smile in her tone.]

Could've told you that before this memory. Feel like I've been fighting for most of it.

[He sounds more proud of that accomplishment than distraught over it]

Not surprised about that, teacher.

Unfortunately I don't know much more about it than what you just heard, but I've gotten used to it by now.

[Muttering about 'Sanzo,' 'Moon,' 'Tian,' and 'Kenren' under his breath]

Is aniki okay?

I'm fine. Everyone's all worried, but I'm happy, honestly.

Friends are safe.

That is [.....] a very colorful memory.

Sorry there, Krile. Not like I could change that back then.

That's true--no soapsuds to get you back. Though it sounds like you could've used them to clean yourself up after ...whatever happened to you guys.

Meatbun...? [His voice sounds wrong somehow.]

Shit. [Someone just realized that his audio was picked up. Maybe Smoke won't hear it... or it was too quiet?]

Edited 2011-02-02 02:41 (UTC)

So you did hear it.

Not like I could avoid it.

I know the name "Kougaiji," though.
