[Adachi's standing in an empty apartment when he starts the video, an empty look in his eyes. After a moment, he let out a sigh, glancing away.]

So... Harley's gone. Sorry to anyone that knew her, but it looks like people are starting to go back home now.

[There's a moment, before a bitter look finally comes to his face.]

...it figures.

[He cuts the video a moment later. If anyone wants to find him, he'll be at the Sky's Prize in Loki District. Because the best way to drown out his issues is to drive up his bar tab, obviously.]

Harley is gone? [Her precious Harley... She puts on a neutral mask. She wasn't about to get upset in front of some stranger.]

Unless she decided to move apartments without telling me.

[As random as Harley was... that was unlikely.]

Oh? And who were you to her that she would need to tell you?

Uh... kinda her boyfriend?

[Adachi's expression fell a little.]

What, she didn't even brag about me? Ouch...

[Satine is of the opinion that Harley could do better, but she keeps a smile on. Perhaps he had something she wasn't seeing that Harley did, maybe it was a matter of bedroom skills? Satine had no intention of finding out.]

No, sorry darling. Our conversations didn't lend themselves to lovers.

[Wow, hey, he had other things to offer than a good time! ...somewhat.]

Ah... hunh...

[Man, not even a little bragging? That hurt; didn't women usually flaunt it when they were getting some action?]

Well, did you ever hear of me?

[Adachi opened his mouth... before closing it again.]

...fair enough.

There you have it. So now that we've established that neither of us were talked about by Harley, you have a name?

Adachi Tohru. You?

Satine.

A pleasure.

Heh, likewise.

Wish it coulda been under better circumstances though.

We're in a magical world in a war, better circumstances don't exist, darling.

Hey, I've had nothing but awesome circumstances here.

...except when they like to remind us we're kinda stuck here.

If this is "awesome circumstances" then I shudder to think what you consider deplorable.

Are you form one of those dead-walking on earth infested places?

Ha, no; my world isn't that interesting.

[Minus the whole TV thing...]

I just didn't have much luck in life before coming here.

[Satine merely quirked a brow. She honestly couldn't care about his luck in life, everyone had a hard life. That's how life worked, but again, she could play nice for the departed Harley.]

And what sort of luck did you have back home?

Ah... heh... well, let's just say being a detective is a thankless job and leave it at that.

You work for the law and you're surprised?

Well, it's... complicated.

[He paused at that, mulling it over. Well... Harley was gone, and Mari would just as soon stomp on his face than look at him again. What did he have to lose, especially if they were all either going to die soon, or get punted back to their old worlds.]

Wouldn't mind talking about it over a few drinks, though.

[She's not stupid. Oh, not when it comes to that. She was the mistress of the bedroom; of course she knew a look like that, a line like that. Satine merely shifted to a different mask. She leaned in a little closer and looked at his eyes before looking at his lips, smiling. All of it well practiced as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

She had absolutely no interest in him, not when she had a lover who kept her perfectly content, who had as many sins as her and still thought her to shine like a sparkling diamond.]

Oh now now, Adachi. [She took great care in pronouncing his name, let it sound grand and sinful in one breath.]

Edited 2015-01-29 23:50 (UTC)

[Oh, and Adachi bought it, hook, line, and sucker. Of course, the thought that this was too good to be true had entered his head. But he had been having such good luck between Mari and Harley -- before everything got fucked up, anyway -- that he was willing to ignore that thought. He leaned a little closer himself, raising an eyebrow.]

Yes...?

Well, you see...

[She took a deep breath, acting the part of someone utterly flattered before her smile fell.]

That you think you can even get with me, not even ten minutes after announcing my darling Harley is gone, then you deserve every ounce of "hard luck" you seem to think you have.

[...he really should have listened to himself.]

Eh heh... yeah, saw that one coming...

I certainly can't imagine why! [She keeps a calm tone as she bites into him.

Really, his type is not anything new to her. She had men come and visit her on their wedding nights back home. She had widowers vie for her attention before the corpse was even in the ground. Death and love often went hand-in-hand when you were a creature of the night. She just didn't have to play that game anymore. She could make decisions based on how she felt and not what would get her paid.]

Well, now that I know what type you are, I'm quite done with speaking to you. [She has no need to speak with this man any longer.]

Harley certainly deserved better, though.

[And with that, she hangs up.]

Edited 2015-01-30 00:22 (UTC)

Whoa-- hey--!

[And... no luck, he was staring at an empty screen. Sheesh, way to blame a guy for taking a shot in the dark.]

[Oh...he knows how Adachi feels about her.]

Ahhh....I'm sorry Adachi-san.

[You see what he means when he says he's not allowed to be happy, Souji?]

Eh... it's how it goes, right? 'Sides, it's not like we would have gotten to live happily ever after anyway.

[He sounds like he doesn't care. Sounds that way.]

[You know Souji, he'd argue otherwise. Everyone deserves some happiness.]

You never know, Adachi-san...but I do know it wasn't all for nothing...you'll have good memories, right?

[At least until they have to leave...]

[Adachi shot him an irritable look.]

Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot, kid. Do you honestly think I don't realize what'll happen, assuming we even save all of existence and all that?
