[The Murder Game Series] Murder: The Ties that Bind

[QUOTE="The Golden Witch]


"You're an interesting pi- person~"


She immediatly cut herself off, correcting her sentence in a split-second, giggling cheerfully, almost taunting him a bit with her "careless" behavior, her gaze slowly scanning across his equipment, as well at his stance, analyzing what kind of mood and mindset he was on at the moment, only to lean a bit forward again, looking down into the main hall, yet not ignoring him, but instead just breaking eye-contact for now.


"If you are so eager to be -interacted- with, why don't you try and make some friends, possibly try to take the lead~ You sound like the kind of man, who'd take charge if needed!"


It was clear to anyone, that she was teasing and mocking him a bit, as Lambdadelta looked back at him, shooting a short, sly grin at him, her eyes narrowing a bit, making her red eyes glitter a bit, as if dangerously glowing for a heartbeat's time.

[/QUOTE]
"There is no need for me to."


Emiya recognised that she was attempting to tease him; yes, just like little Ilya would.


"Others down there are assuming leadership; it would cause confrontation if I decided to take that away from them, which would be...inefficient."

Lambda chuckled to herself quietly, but not inaudible, giving him a faint smile, before turning her head back forward, looking down at the few people, remaining in the mainhall.


"So you're just going to hold back and do what you are being told, hm? I wonder how this one will turn out to be! A dictatorship? A democraty? Or maybe even Anarchy itself~? I'm quite thrilled!"


She already knew, how things would turn out to be. After all, this was just the beginning. There would be no "effective" way of ending this diseased threat in a long time, so they had to co-operate for quite a long time, which again, send a bit of a bad taste in her mouth, having to spectate this disaster, instead of spending quality time in her favorite Sweet Land.


"Well! Whatever happens, I'll be there to witness it all~!"


Lambdadelta lazily swung her legs back and forth, sitting on the guardrailing, her legs dangling a few feet above the ground, not really caring or thinking about how dangerous a drop would be, if the fall would have no control.

"I don't recall saying I was going to 'do as I'm told', I will do as I choose."


But you already knew that, didn't you? If the woman hadn't been like him in that respect, she wouldn't have started up a conversation. Neither of them would behave like good sheep; that was far too dangerous. Emiya though, probably unlike her, would at least try to prevent the others from dying if at all possible. As things were, it seemed like she viewed all of this as a game; not an incorrect point of view as far as Emiya was concerned, but morbid in it's own way.


"Do you have a name?"

Lambda closed her eyes, chuckling once again at his question, her head turning only slightly towards him, as she was only looking at him through the corner of her eyes, as if only giving him half of her attention.


"I do have a name, what about you~?"


Not really answering his question, she rather returned with another one, seeing if he would play along.


"Normally, someone introduces themselves first, before asking for someone's name, am I wrong~?"

She grined at him, before replying to his "introduction" of himself.

Emiya nodded once to show that he had heard, but gave no further response. He resumed his vigil over the main hall.

"Are you always like this? Distancing yourself from others and "surveying" the area~?"


Lambda jokinly remarked, noticing his disinterest in wanting to partake in the group's actions for now, and instead just hang out with a strange girl on the balcony.

Emiya considered the question; in his line of work, he had worked alone for a number of years, and for a small period of time, in a pairing with Maiya, but that was all. But the reason he stayed alone, well was because of that...


"That would be normal for me yes. I'm here along with 40 or so individuals I do not know; therefore I am wary. Given a different situation, I may behave differently, does this not seem logical?"
 
"And yet, here you are, talking to me as if I was your friend. Does that seem logical~?"


Reminding him, that she was nothing but a stranger to the man. Although, his behavior woke interest in him, maybe even because he was different from all the others, clinging to each other's bonds to survive. Because, someone who is capable to survive by oneself, that is true strength.


"You woke my interest, that is for sure~ I'm really interested in how far you will make it."

"I see. And what of yourself? You seem to be no different in this regard, you too are alone among strangers."


Emiya found the woman to be interesting; it had been some time since he'd held an intelligent conversation with anyone besides Iri or Ilya. But on the other hand, it had also been a long time since anyone besides Kirei Kotomine had taken such an avid interest in him and his actions; that she was doing so wasn't the problem, why she was doing so on the other hand, was.

She showed another sly grin across her face, placing her right index finger against her lower lip, staring at the man from the corner of her eyes, as she stood up from the guardrailing, standing ontop of it.


"Everyone has a role in life, don't they~? And the mystery of who has what role, is one of the most interesting to find out, isn't that right?"


Taking a step backwards, she jumped off the railing and landing next to the man, still grinning at him, her dress lifting a bit as she fell from the railing downwards to the ground, her left hand holding down her dress, not to appear unmannered.

"True enough. But how do you choose and define those roles? More importantly, do you agree with them? Throughout all of history; the roles of the major, heroes and leaders, have existed to blind the roles of the minor, soldiers, citizens and the ordinary individual. Blinding them to the truth of the world, and the violence it holds therein, that all throughout the ages, we kill and claim victory with the lives of the defeated while the victors call it just and honourable, blinding them to the fact that our very nature as human beings has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age."


Emiya then fell silent, saying that much was unusual for him, but then it was his very reason for what he had become, for what he must do. He relaxed a little, but still tried to not give too much away.

Listening to him, she simply stood there, a bit more on her left leg, since her right leg was merely standing on it's toetips, giving the impression of a curious girl, who was just being told a very interesting story.


"As the saying goes: Ignorace is Bliss. Each and everyone may have a different story and opinion about the way, this world or any of them works. Yet, History is only written by the victors, not by the truth itself. Humans are indeed a very primitive race, but most people just take the easy way and decide to ignore the bigger picture behind them, claiming they are advancing with every step, not realizing that they are merely walking on a treadmill, unable to get off."


Suddenly, she let out a laugh, crossing her arms, as she stood before the man, who'd just opened to Lambda much more.

A small smile creased across Emiya's otherwise expressionless features; this person understood at least a little of what Emiya had devoted is life to, a rare enough occurrence in itself.


"Yes, that is my point exactly."

Giggling at his faint, but visible smile, Lambda moved her arms back down. Leaning back against the railing, she'd look up towards the ceiling, grabbing a sweet, red and white Lollipop from her pockets and putting it into her mouth, all while smiling and closing her eyes.


"Interesting, indeed~"

"Yeah, I should stop swearing. Now how about you shut that filthy mouth of yours and do the fucking same?" He watched her as she studied him. He shrugged in response, knowing that she won't glean any information out of him, but if she tried.. Then that's a different matter. "No fucking way! I didn't know I was blonde! How'dyou know that?!" He shook his head and chuckled. He wasn't sure if she's joking or if she's dead serious. If she was, then that would be hilarious indeed. " I came from Casterly Rock. I own the place actually. So I'm basically the lord there." He paused, realizing he had said more than he should. "I wasn't literal as well, shit-head." Glancing back, Lann noticed a gun in the hands of one of the dead crossed. The crossed eyes were boring into him, but he shrugged it away and pulled the gun free from its grasp. He had clearly handled dead men before. "Now what were you saying about teaching me?"

Debra opened her mouth to say another curse word, but BAM! She took his 'request' seriously, and sealed her lips. She frowned at his cheesy sarcasm and this time, she opened her mouth to say.. "You're so cheesy I thinking about putting out a campfire with my face." Debra raised an eyebrow before the other as she heard him talk about who he was.. "eh, some fancy noble from the past? Well, m'lordship, you won't find any peasants obeying you here since you are literally in the future, some how I won't even ask. I have seen a girl with a talking 'teddy' bear and she shits fire, that's more than enough to me." ( @LannTheClever . "You just point, like a crossbow, take a deep breath, pull the trigger! Bam, dead, splat!" She moved her arms as if an explosion had happened, but grimacing and cursing at the pain she earned herself when moving her wounded, bandaged arm.

Ariel was lost.


There was no doubt about it. The room she was standing in was completely empty, with no people around her. There were displays with a bunch of tiny, fake people in them, displaying scenes of earth history. She stepped closer towards the glass, looking in awe at the detail painted on them. Everything was so silent around her...


And then, of course, she felt the hand on her shoulder.
