i'm not sure i'd like to know what you're getting at concerning this possible inappropriate usage of cdc equipment. it sounds vaguely painful and highly disturbing.
for one, i hope nothing blunt was involved. for another, keep your strange urges to yourself.
sometimes, when two people really like each other...they...run away. to do things. [SHE'LL LEAVE IT TO HIS IMAGINATION AS TO WHAT 'THINGS' ENTAILS, please and thank.] sometimes they like to try...new things that, ah, tend to be a little outside of the norm. with inanimate objects, apparently, or so i've been told. i think that's what he meant by 'equipment'.

curiosity killed the cat, but since you seem intent on knowing...

one time, a friend of mine, who was mildly intoxicated, and i were staking out a target. as it turns out, they were fond of going to the red light district. we followed the person into a brothel.
FROM: akame@cdc.org
being drunk, my friend barged right in and broke down the door to the target's room. he was...ah, in a very compromising position with a woman putting an inanimate object in what could be called a very uncomfortable part of his body.
FROM: akame@cdc.org
my friend proceeded to drunkenly torture him with said object as i knocked the woman unconscious. it still involved miscellaneous parts of his body.
does that lay your curiosity to rest?
[you asked, she answered. and she is very sorry. really. from the bottom of her heart.]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org your story's terrifying
I wasn't planning on being an assassin anyway
[for all they had choices in the matter here. he'll respect your wise sage ways, Akame (though he's setting to hunting down her file now, and when he sees her picture --- it wasn't too surprising, but seriously, how did so many teenagers make so many bad decisions in their short home lives?)]
[(or maybe she was immortal.)]
[(an immortal assassin... creepy).]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org you don't tend to get their life story though, do you?
... or do you? did you case people, too? did you work in an organization? you mentioned a partner! was it just the two of you??
[perhaps he should've treated the job with more severity, but actions always stuck out louder than words. and, well. texting gave him bravery.]
do you know how quickly she would turn him away from this life regardless? you do you, hinata. leave the stalking and murder to akame, and all will be right with the world.
maybe, speaking of poor decisions. also w o w you read too much manga!! she's perfectly mortal!!]
FROM: akame@cdc.org
i'm glad. you seem like you come from a peaceful background. it's surprising you're here, but....perhaps it's best that you learn.
[and now she's intrigued. she'll be reading his file soon.]
FROM: akame@cdc.org
you have the right idea. our organization would gather information on the targets beforehand, so we'd know enough of their background to take action against them.
it's not much different from the cdc.
[she doesn't mind his casual way of framing things. it actually makes talking about it a little easier.]

so he knows something. well. let's have a gander, shall we...?
yes, his personality assessment is dead-on. he is overly-inquisitive, and that'll get him in trouble.]
FROM: akame@cdc.org
true. but, even so, us providing protection is a means to an end. you must consider that as well.

but i digress. i refer to night raid when i mention 'my organization'. i have been with them for two years.
if you're worried that i'm going to do anything to anyone, don't. we're all comrades here---i have no reason to do so. you are familiar with that concept as well, even if the context is different.
FROM: akame@cdc.org
with that being the case, what do you hope to take from all this?
[since, as also noted in his file, he's got a persistence to him. what a curious boy.]
[a lot she says feeds discomfort, a type of anxiety that began in the stomach and spread quickly to his throat (dry swallowing, fingers twitching over the blackglass).]
[it means: more and more pauses before and between replies. it means: he forces himself to think through it.]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org ??? Why would I be worried about that?? Were other people worried about that? Did they know where they were???
[a beat.]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org Sorry, how do you mean? "What I hope to take from all this..."??
that means he's using his brain. thinking before he speaks. it's a step in the right direction. he needs this. she can tell.
but as a member of red team, she also needs to divert his attention. get a feel for how his mindset works.]
FROM: akame@cdc.org
not really. i just figured i'd clear up the air. i'd rather we not be on bad terms.
FROM: akame@cdc.org
perhaps i worded it wrong.
what do you hope to learn from this, is what i mean.

this isn't anything you were familiar with before. do you think that this experience will make you stronger? do you think it's made you stronger, so far?
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org What do I hope to learn from... being employed by the CDC?
[it shouldn't have been so difficult to wrap his head around the question. had it made him stronger? incredibly. would it come to? if he wanted to survive, sure.]
[but the way she says it, it's as if-- the CDC were imparting something he could take back home. from her perspective, maybe it was. she'd definitely learn a thing or two to bring back to her rebel group, technology and space travel not withstanding. as her world was her normal, of course she'd apply it to him. but then - there existed the very large problem of --]

DAY 79 | MISFIRES: A TRAGEDY IN MULTIPLE ACTS

for one, i hope nothing blunt was involved. for another, keep your strange urges to yourself.

AFTER A FEW MORE MISFIRES...
Who is Zelos and what is he doing?? please let this reach the right person i really need to know
no subject
FROM: akame@cdc.org
i'm...not sure myself. i...simply received a message from him, and it was fairly indecent, as you...somehow...know...
...i'm assuming he was involved in some sort of tryst with someone, if you must know.
FROM: akame@cdc.org
an...experiment gone wrong, i suppose. some people are into those kinds of things. it's odd.

......not...that that makes her any more knowledgeable than anyone else her age, mind you.]
FROM: akame@cdc.org
then perhaps you should hide your equipment in a very good place. especially any armaments that may be in your possession.
you never know. maybe he likes pain; it's not an uncommon urge among some people. still, it's best to avoid any unnecessary injuries.
FROM: akame@cdc.org
or casualties, for that matter. things could get out of hand, and you don't want to be implicated in something like that.
[foolproof. although, that's an awfully detailed hypothetical scenario she's presenting here...]

[but. uh.]
[uuuuuhhhhh.]
[she stands as more knowledgeable than this 16 year old, at least.]
["armaments" and whatever she spoke about in that last message went right over his head, but one thing remained quite clear.]
FROM: hinata.shouyou@cdc.org
liking pain is very uncommon what people are you hanging out with that's weird why would anyone LIKE pain???!!!!!
is he CRAZY??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no subject
FROM: akame@cdc.org
most of my friends back home are older than me, i suppose. they tend to drink a lot of alcohol, and...that tends to result in incidents.
i...couldn't begin to tell you. but since you seem morbidly interested, why don't you ask him yourself?
FROM: akame@cdc.org
but something tells me that's not the best idea. you wouldn't want to possibly end up being witness to things you could have lived without seeing...

do you want to talk about it?
