Bridge: *Bridge tromps down the hallway, singing to himself, his face grim. His voice is clear and cheerful, but his eyes are dark. A red winter coat has been discarded, leaving him in a black beanie and snow boots as well as his pants and a red sweater, and one black glove. the other hangs out of his pants pocket; the gloved hand holds his gun, and his free hand waves in the air. He sings as he goes*
Born is a human with a kung-fu spine Equipped with a detector of what's on your mind...
Schuldig: *Schu's in his room, kicking the various bits and pieces of things he's destroyed around and feeling generally murderous, though he keeps his mouth shut in case any more song feels the need to come out*
Bridge: *Bridge continues along, looking. He replaces a glove as he approaches a room*
You jive, you shuck, you bob, you weave And when you're down you've got something up your sleeve
*He knocks on the door, calling in*
And you've got it good, as bad as it gets You make your own incisions that come with regrets You're in it to win it and make every minute count You put it all together and dish it out!</i>
Schuldig: *yells back, throwing his still-broken laptop against the door with a crash*
You're always on my case What the fuck do you want from me?
Bridge: *sings cheerfully, drawing his blaster*
Hey, I know where you're from It makes it that much nicer to meet you
*his voice darkening*
Hey, I know what you've done It makes it that much better to defeat you!
Schuldig: So quick to point your finger at me You think you know it all But you're just another wanna-be This time, this time I won't go down without a fight!
that knowledge, all those skills All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill.
*with a dark, taunting detective, enjoying this far too much*
while the others try to take your spot You wanna make 'em STOP, and you gotta make 'em STOP
Schuldig: Behind closed doors your words rang hollow What you said they'd be What behavior? Who are you, but I like it...
*pulls open his door, gun in hand - his hair is down and disheveled, but he's otherwise dressed as normal*
Bridge: *Bridge is there, gun in hand also, mind racing--who did he kill? Who did he shoot? Who was he shouting at?*
Would you do anything, whatever it takes? Jacks in the road, yeah, fix the breaks?
Schuldig: *laughs sharply, but it fades to a wide smirk*
I sure don't want to hurt no one...
Bridge: *Bridge suddenly laughs too, smiling, a warm and happy smile, laughing at himself--what was I thinking?*
It's the instinct that's got us locked up tight And it's the madness that's keeping us up all night!
Schuldig: *raises an eyebrow, shrugging... moves away from the doorway so Bridge can see into his room, which is pretty well torn apart, but has no inconvenient bodies or anything*
People talk about me, baby They say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong Well don't let that worry you worry baby Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home...
Bridge: *Bridge chuckles and begins to walk away*
It's what we are...
Schuldig: *mumbles to himself, closing his door as Bridge starts to leave*
And I'm guilty... and you're guilty too.
Bridge: *and once he's out of earshot, Bridge mutters*
Born is a human with mechanics to win Born is machine with the human stuck in You jive, you shuck, you jab, you stick, You're calling out for help when it gets too thick
*sneering*
"Your honor, your honor, it's not me, it's the invisible, visible evil powers that be," Untraceable, insatiable, having to feed yeah, you cry when you're wounded and you laugh when they bleed
