TICK TOCK

“Oh…Whoops.” Scout somehow accidentally summoned her ShotgunSword and barely missed the dude, hitting a trash can,

“Uh…you okay there?” she asked, eyebrows furrowing as she glanced at the man’s face, “Sorry, didn’t mean t’…do the thing. Maybe I should stop waving my hands for a while…”

— he flinches, pulled from thoughts of his brother and just what he was going to do here by the harsh sound of a gun going off. he’s spent so long just trying to please lelouch that, without him, he doesn’t know what to do anymore.

rolo turns to whoever had fired the weapon, ready to retaliate, but —

he.. doesn’t have anything. an empty bb gun and a couple of old knives carved from wood. there is always his geass, but a quick look makes it clear that it isn’t just a simple shotgun.

he hates being unarmed, helpless, vulnerable; unable to do anything. it’s an awful feeling, and his brother isn’t here to ease it.

she has been here before, he recalled, once or twice. perhaps more, given that there had been a small interval in time where he could not recall anything that happened within this city. by no means did he like her, but familiarity was rare within the simulated walls of hive city. the rarity of it was the only thing that fueled his words as he addressed her, a hint of joking wiring itself into his otherwise bland tone,

 " I'm surprised they managed to keep capturing you, C.C. " she was elusive - but they somehow kept dragging her back here

that is illegal that is so fucking illegal HOW COULD YOU

sir i do not know what your talking about i am a MERE SCHOOL BOY

Time begun again with an echoing bang, a lifeless body of an officer hitting the ground.

Rolo observed his work coldly, peering down at it with almost a sneer. Not his cleanest or finest kill, but it served the police officer right for pointing the muzzle of his gun at him. It definitively was messy, considering the bang had echoed throughout the city, undoubtedly drawing the attention of others. Turning on his heels, the murder weapon clutched tightly in his hands, the world once again came to a seeming halt.
