Where: Archer Park

☆A Little Little Fun



On the morning of the 24th, the sun rises over Vista City and, more importantly, Archer Park- a series of rooftop parks connected to each other by bridges and overflowing greenery of all sorts. It's a popular on most days to start with. Today, however, is the day of the Double S Charity Concert. Thus, it's more packed than usual.

One of the park "islands" is home to a concert stage, and that is where the concert is taking place. All throughout the next couple of days, various musicians will perform songs they've written about or dedicated to another in the industry. With the entertainment value of the idea and the fame of the musicians, of course the place is packed.

The stage is where every musician will end up at throughout the day, performing for the masses, but behind it is also a rest area for them to either bide their time or just hang out. It's supposed to be restricted to just those musicians participating, but frankly... security is lax just enough that bandmates and the such could duck on in to see their friends. No fans, however, sorry. It's not the most impressive of places, with seating areas and a salad bar and all the pizza that could possibly be ordered, but hopefully it's good enough. This is also where one can find event organizer Jenny around, in case they need to bring anything up.

Of course, no one is required to stay back there while waiting their turn, or after they've done their performance. Attempts to raise money go beyond just the concert. Double S has all sorts of stalls set up, whether to explain to people the various causes they can specifically pledge support to, or to sell merchandise. Can't forget the food stalls. There is, of course, a stall showing adoptable animals. There always is.

Finally, there's one last thing Double S has set up for any willing celebrities. It's a meet-and-greet area for the fans, where they have the chance to meet their favorite musicians. Giving out autographs, taking pictures with fans... There's even a karaoke set up for everyone to use. Musicians can sing solo, or with others from their label, or even with a lucky fan. AKA feel free to get NPC MP here. Hopefully, it'll get some good publicity for those interested in that kind of thing.

Tickets have been made astonishingly cheap in the hopes that more people will show, with anything else being made up by merchandise sales or donations.

“Yeahhh guy like that probably isn't too popular; I mean SURE he's got that abundance of CATS and someone felt like spending a PRETTY PENNY on his TARNISHED IMAGE, but a cult following of felines and some botched books hardly makes up for--”

[Bill stops when he reexamines Sans disposition. oh. Oh. So this is how it is going to be, is it?

The shorter man doesn't look like himself. He's making that movement; the one where someone subtly glitches in place, what is it-- shiv-- cringing? Cringing! Why cringe, then, pain or fear? Both?? Hmm. Sans isn't doing it any more, but it's too late, Bill noticed, Bill always notices. He smiles smoothly, turning to give the bandmate his full attention.]


“No need to beat around the bush with me, Sans.”

[He tips the ash off his cigarette, leaning forward. Go ahead. Do it.]

“Something you wanna ask?”

[Bill is really sort of a wacko, Sans dully recognizes as this conversation unfolds. Normally, he puts up with Bill mostly by trolling him and knowing the more predictable features of his psychology. He's a little more concerned about this situation than usual, though.]

Apemis made it sound like you'd made a pretty good attempt on his life. Y'know, kind of put him in a bad mood.

[This isn't the way someone who feels remorse talks about a person.]

"Not a question, but I'll take it!"

[You can never just follow his plans, can you, Sans?]

"See, I could see why you might think that-- and that's PROBABLY because I DID."

[A shrug.]

"Yeah, saw you struggling at that party and stepped in to finish the job."

[You're welcome buddy! Bill would be lying if he said he didn't expect to have this conversation one day, but already it isn't going how he thought it might. Something about the look Sans is subtly leveling his way- Pff! As if THIS would be unexpected from Bill- hey!-ask-me-why-I-have-an-eyepatch- Cipher. It's a tough choice, knowing if he should downplay the thrill of how he feels or indulge in seeing how much of a reaction he can pull out of his normally stoic comrade. Cipher shuts his eye. For the moment, he'll decide on neither, opting to simply stop grinning.]

"I mean, even Bai Shen stabbed somebody that night, you really think I didn't get a cut of that deal?"

[Sans's eyes narrow, just a little. Sans had personally just been too half hearted to accomplish much of anything, but he knows that wasn't the case with other people.]

Not for nothin' but...you're not talking about this in the tones of a guy who feels much remorse.

[Everyone was controlled against their will...but that doesn't mean that some decency towards the victims wasn't expected.]

"Should I?"

[It isn't said with much malice, but then, it isn't said with much of anything. Ah, how to put it? Bill releases a wistful sigh.]

"Let's be real, Sans, you were there, you know none of it was my decision, so what's the point? Yeah, I could have an existential crisis, a freak out or two, but who does that benefit, I mean really?"

[Mistakes only counted as mistakes if you let yourself regret them. So Bill never allowed himself to regret anything­, simple right? It's amazing the rest of humanity hasn't figured out this trade secret.]

"Whether I make it into a sob story, doesn't stop it from happening, doesn't change that I did it. FRANKLY the more I'm learning about the guy the less I'm liking him."

[So. Why. Bother?]

"But I don't need to tell you that, do I? I'm not the one who just got out of another scuffle with him."

[Sans gives Bill a sidelong glance, as if trying to look straight through him. Is Bill being honest? He's not completely sure. He's also not sure where this opinion sits on the scale in terms of morals. He feels like it wouldn't kill the guy to have a little more sensitivity about something he outright almost murdered...even if Artolo had turned around and nearly murdered Sans because of it.

Sigh. These things can never be easy, can they? His expression is measured but not out-rightly judgmental.]


Welp...you can consider that 'scuffle' his message to you. Apparently he thinks we were in cahoots. Which...I guess we sort of were? In a round about kind of way.

"Hey, we're ViP; there is no 'were', we ARE in cahoots."

[Sans could judge away, Bill certainly doesn't look bothered by the notion- until something in his expression shifts.]

"Waitwaitwait."

[Something about the way Sans just phrased last bit is wrong. It implies...]

"You saying he came after YOU?"
exhumerus: by gittetj@tumblr (...ayyyyy)

[personal profile] exhumerus 2016-03-04 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't really get why Bill is so surprised. He thought that much is implicit. Unless...]

What, you think I jumped him? You could fit two of me inside his legs alone.
liarmonstersnappydresser: (FEH)

[personal profile] liarmonstersnappydresser 2016-03-10 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[God you really could; that ridiculous, gangly, giant.]

"Said I was surprised, didn't I?"

[But that out of anything appears to have changed Bill's mood. He glances away frowning, contemplative; metaphorical cogs clinking.]

"Last I checked, the guy who starts something isn't the one who leaves on the stretcher."

[Heh. Especially Sans. It almost makes it more impressive, Bill can't tell whether to be proud or disappointed.]

“Why go for you though? I mean, yeahyeahthecahootsthinggotit-”

[But why go for you FIRST???]

"REALLY not improving my opinion of the guy..."

Hey, he forced my hand - and that hand happened to be holding a cheese knife.

[He grins, but it's a humourless thing. Just a flash of bitter teeth.]

Funny thing, though - it feels like we came to some kind of understanding at the end, there. A real bonding experience.

"Ho yeah! Nothing like a good LIFE THREATENING DEBACLE to really bring a crowd together. Well! You seem to be holding up fine."

[Bill mimics the action by flashing his own teeth and hopping back to his feet. Really it's a miracle he sat still for this much of the conversation; he can't stand remaining stagnant.]

"Y'need water? A smoke? Someonetoexactpainstakinglyplannedrevengeonyourbehalf? Me to call ya a cab?"

As if you'd need the excuse, buddy.

[It's a relief to know what Bill is on his side, at least.]

But hey, I appreciate the sentiment. Really warms the heart.

That said, this can probably do without further escalation.

[Bill raises his hands disarmingly.]

"Hey, suit yourself; but this a primo deal you're walking away from."

[Well, technically Sans never said he COULDN'T do it anyway. He shrugs with a wave before stuffing his hands in his pockets.]

"Whatever, try not to get in too much trouble on the way home, eh buddy?"

[One more smirk for the road.]

"That's my job."
