No is not going to cut it. Either you give me the keys now peacefully or it's going to be Marvelous and he's probably pissed of at you and not to be reasoned with.

[woodfortono]

So what's he going to do? Beat me up? The keys are hidden, you guys won't find them.

[blueondeck]

He'll rip threw this place and everyone who tries to stop him. Being hidden wouldn't last long.

[woodfortono]

I'm not giving them to you. [his voice very flat] I'm done having to fight my friends.

[blueondeck]

You're really not going to have a choice in that, keys or not.

[woodfortono]

I'm done having to fight my friends when it could have been prevented,then.

[blueondeck]

You're seriously deluded if you think any of this could have been prevented.

[woodfortono]

Joe, get out of my cabin. [there isn't even any fight in him--he just sounds exhausted] You guys let Basco get ahold of our keys and didn't bother to warn us he was attacking, and you murdered me with them once. I won't go through this crap a third time, and I won't give them back.

[blueondeck]

Chiaki suck it up.

No one lets Basco do anything. You getting your ass kicked, which wasn't suppose to happen, is the best outcome. You think we just sit your damn keys right on top of the box? He went in and looked for them, you idiot. We had our own stuff to handle. You aren't a baby, no matter how strong Basco is, you've been training your whole life to take of things like him. Your failure has nothing to do with us or the keys.

[woodfortono]

Get the fuck out! [he's on his feet suddenly, his voice raw and sharp]

Takeru almost fucking died! I had to watch Basco run him through, and the reason I couldn't stop it in time is because I couldn't kill something that looked like hime fast enough! Basco would have kicked our asses anyway, but he did it with things that look like people who I'm supposed to be protecting with my life--that's my worst nightmare and it's your fucking fault! And you knew about it, he called you, and you didn't come and help us! Fuck you! He trusted you and you left him to die!

[blueondeck]

He wouldn't have died. I'm not sorry I have more faith in your own boyfriend than you do, or that between us I'm the one that knows your interfering probably pissed Basco off more when made him do that to Takeru. You can keep sitting here wallowing in your emotions if you want, but just know that when Basco or Marvelous come after you because your a fucking sentimental idiot and someone you care about is actually killed this time? That is was your fault, and not mine like you want to keep believing it is.

[turns and walks out]

[woodfortono]

[he's up and at the door as you leave]

You don't give two shits about him, you stupid, selfish bastard! [yelling after you] And if anyone wants their keys back, they can come after me!

[he slams the door so hard the windows rattle, and goes to start packing his things]

[turning to just glare at the door and continue leaving]
