[ The shiny pink void appears, Chihiro kicks him on the back of his head, and Welt lunges at him.
All he can think of is how he promised Rumeld, his deceased husband that he would take care of the kids after he was gone. He has to take care of them, feed them, raise them--all seven. If he could sell all these Tinys, he would have enough money to do that. Why did they even choose to raise seven children who looked like Seodore? Because Rumeld was a softie, and he wanted to give them a good life. All of them were adopted, and he wanted to care for them so much until he met his end.
Seodore would do anything for Rumeld. That was his wish at his deathbed. He will carry it out accordingly. Even if he isn't the type to murder others just because. At most, he had caused disorder and chaos, but straight up murder? No. Never.
But he has eight Tinys in his rifle case. Right. He can feed them all. He can pay their college tuition without taking out a loan. All in exchange of a neighbor's Tiny? Is this thing really worth the life of his neighbor that he's grown close to over the years? And to betray another one?
Yes.
No one else is higher than Rumeld. Rumeld's wishes are his top priority.
Despite being attacked, he slams the rifle case, full of eight Tinys and its original weight one more time onto Welt's head. he's sure that it would cave his skull in this time. His Tiny will be his. His. Then he can scalp them for profit. He can realize the wish. he can take care of the seven children--
But then he remembers.
This is not what what Rumeld died for, nor it's what he wanted. Clarity starts gracing Seodore's obnoxiously red eyes and he realizes what he's done.
[ welt yang has died many times, now. has rewritten his body through the power of the core of reason, before he passed it on and retained the copy of the star of eden in lieu of it. but the cane housing it is no longer in his hands - lost, somewhere, between nueva bork and kmart - and he does not hold onto his immortality without the core.
he's not a herrscher of reason any longer. he's just a father of four, loving husband, and funnies comic author in this version of events, this black friday massacre of 1999.
but he's still hard to put down. seodore hits him over the head, and the crunch is louder, this time, and the result is a wet noise when seodore pulls back his weapon and treasure trove. his body curls around the precious tiny -
and then he groans, because himeko is going to kill him herself for not returning - not to their apartment in the building they share with chihiro and seodore, but to the astral express. ]
... m'not dying... in this place... [ slurring his words, and forcing himself upright onto his hands and knees no matter the pain. ] Let's... let's go...
[ chihiro's kick on seodore lands - maybe that's what makes him remember.
the three of you - welt, staggering, chihiro, missing an arm, and seodore, left with the horrors of the violence he has just committed, realize in this moment that you have to, have to get back to nueva bork.
the sparkly, pink void awaits you.
each of you return back with one (1) Tiny in your shaking hands to return to Nueva Bork. you return with all of your injuries, a lot of guilt, and... that's it. dang...
wait, one more thing! for the next 24 hours, you will also intermittently believe that you are living your AU life still.
congratulations on escaping your fun adventure! :) ]
