     ❝   ISN’T THAT LIKE — A FORM OF TORTURE  ?  i mean look at us  ,  our stomachs are practically eating in on themselves. i’d bug daewi down the street for a bite of his wholesome cooking ,  but i’m dry.   ❞ 

       ❝   MAN  ,  OH MAN. i could really go for some good ol’ grub right now. think my stomach’s doing tumble rolls.   ❞ 

I was thinking more about Anthony’s NSR verse and how he has a bigger district what with all of his fans and how bright, colorful, and fun everything is. But also I was thinking about @gamenu​ ‘s smaller district && how Anthony is always popping on over there to check in on his little ‘sis and making sure that everything is okay on her end. He’s always also seeing what needs to be upgraded or replaced and he really helps her district stay afloat. -- But that’s because he’d do anything for her really; and loves, values, and cherishes her.

And that’s actually why his boss fight would be much much MUCH harder if Mayday and Zuke decide to fight Nicole, an optional district ( && optional boss battle ). So much so that Mei Mei and I agreed that there could be some sort of pacifist option to Nicole’s Boss Battle rather than actually destroying all of her stuff. Because if you choose the more chaotic route and start smashing shit left and right, it would cause her to break down.

And you know of course, word gets to Anthony in his district, and that boy is NOT HAPPY at all. In fact, when Mayday and Zuke show up for the Anthony boss battle, not only would the initial phase be much harder, but there would be extra phases in general as opposed to the normal one or two when you fight him normally. Things are more chaotic, do more damage, and are quicker. He would have a higher defense and more health -- possibly some sort of shield. And it would be more mechanics in the battle all because Mayday and Zuke HAD to go and destroy shit and ruin everything precious to Nicole.

Honestly, hardcore players could probably do this just for the extra challenge -- but at the end of the battle, if you beat Anthony, he would just lecture Mayday and Zuke and put their whole revolution into perspective and how they’re doing the same exact things they vowed to prevent happening. It would leave the player feeling crappy that they went all of that way and did all this just for something so heart wrenching and unsatisfying.

❝   HAH--    yeah, I fuckin’ bet, ❞ eyebrows raise only in amusement in regards to the other male. However, the young brunet is not entertained in the slightest, and thus hazel eyes roll in a successful attempt at showing dissatisfaction. Seriously, does Hikaru think that Anthony is fucking stupid?   How   long have they been friends?    ❝ Which is why I KNOW you’re the one that changed the passcode on my phone you little shit! Now tell me what it is -- !! ❞

❝ -- And even then we aren’t sure if the results will be in our favor or not, ❞ he gives a rather humble smile. Rather, worn -- worn as a result of time ticking onward without any sort of pause whatsoever. As for what metaphor the young idol is trying to make right now,    well--    that is left to be decided. But maybe he’s being vague on purpose -- is there some sort of chord he is striking with the opposing?

❝ And yet then again, how would we know the results if we never took the time to cast them in any case? ❞ He pauses for a minute, that usual cheerful and upbeat smile returning to his features once more ( this kind of expression suited him, wouldn’t you agree? ), ❝ Say the results we receive are not in our favor, isn’t it   better   that we know that now, rather than left there standing in   regret --   only hoping to know what could have been? ❞

❝ You are easily one of the most stubborn people that I’ve ever had the misfortune of meeting, ❞ the vampire gives a rather forceful grunt with an equally as forceful push upon the other’s torso. The opposing male being man-handled is forced up against the wall, slouching as he bleeds profusely from a gaping wound on his arm. A soft noise is then given as the other desperately struggles to fight against the stronger being ( foolish, stop resisting already ), the beginnings of fear creeping up from the depths of his mind, wondering just what the blood sucker before him was going to do.

He wears a rather modest expression, the brunet does. Crimson eyes honing in on the deep red that spills from body to ground -- the result of a very deadly battle. Luckily, this injury is the ONLY injury that the Lieutenant Colonel possessed and he should be grateful that it wasn’t anything more severe-- like losing an entire limb. Still, no matter how “minor” it was or how “major” it could’ve been, that doesn’t stop the blood sucker from cornering the other and forcing him onto the ground to get a better look.

A hand reaches out to grab the wounded limb and Anthony begins to examine it closely after setting his weapon propped up against the wall. Quickly, he begins to see just how much damage was done to the other, and even if he didn’t want to admit it in the slightest, the vampire knew that receiving such a blow like that must’ve caused immense pain. The thought of that causes him to frown, more so because he knows for a fact that Guren is trying to suppress just much pain he is in.

            -- Do not lie to him and swallow your pain.     Swallow your pride instead.

❝ Would you quit moving for five minutes? ❞ His grip tightens around the other and yanks the arm back out towards him, ❝ If you  seriously  think that I’m going to hurt you now of all times, then you are more  delusional  than I initially thought you were... ❞ he huffs before taking another couple of moments to observe, only to slowly release his grip on the other and reach into one of the many pockets he had in his outfit.

❝ Don’t move, ❞ he commands, ❝ This won’t take but a couple of minutes, ❞ voice falls into something of a calm, hushed tone, completely unlike the playful and joking voice that he was so used to annoying Guren with. Anthony realizes that he doesn’t show this side of himself too often -- and for good reason too, -- but desperate times call for desperate measures he supposes.
