I just died in your arms tonight.


i will follow you into the dark;

It's the end of the line for you.. No matter how long you've been here on this planet, in this universe, that time is over now. Pain wracks your body, or perhaps it doesn't as you drift away from this life. All that remains is that ever fading light -

And the face of the one you care for the most.

For they are joining you on this last journey, as difficult or as easy as it can be. This could have been planned - you wanted to die together - or you both happened to be in the same place at the same time. Your world could be crashing down around you in a final armageddon; you could not be missed, the world turning without you two in it. One of you brought this onto you both; you tried to save your companion. You killed them yourself. It was all an accident...this wasn't supposed to happen...

How you've come to this doesn't matter so much in hindsight, though your sight is dimming as it as. What does matter is how you spend these last few moments with the person who means so much to you. If you're lucky, the two of you have lived a long, happy life together. Those who find themselves faced with a more tragic ending will have just realized their feelings for each other.

You don't have long, only a few moments. Make of them what you can. Reveal your secrets, touch their hand one last time, give them an embrace or a kiss. Apologize, if you see fit. Do what you did in life, but make it count and hope that you will see them again somehow.

  • Comment with your character and preferences. If you have any ideas or anything you do not want to touch, be sure to include those, too.
  • You can play this as serious and as dark as you'd like.
  • Reply to others on the meme. Discuss scenarios, AUs, and crossovers.

[ He knows the meaning of that word by textbook definition only. It's not something he's ever processed or experienced -- not even something he's really ever thought about. ]

Yeah, we have. We did on the first day we met, you know. Have we been 'comrades' this whole time?

[ Once, Takasugi's comrades have meant everything to him. Now... now, there's only this creature, barely even a man, without Takasugi's 'excuse' of madness of explain for his being this way. Tkasugi snorts. ]

No. I suppose such things are not for us.

[ He coughs hard, blood spilling down his mouth. His vision is wavering even further, darkness creeping in at the edges. Death always sits at his shoulder, waiting, and now it's getting impatient. ]

Still, it's a pity that I have to die with you, of all people.

You sure sound disappointed. I must be bad company.

[ Kamui chuckles, but has to wince a little from the stabbing pain that is felt as a result. Still, there's no offense taken at that. He himself has never really thought about who he had wanted to die with, and he certainly doesn't find dying back to back with this man unpleasant in the slightest. In the very least, there's someone to chat with. Lying at some corner alone and waiting for death to take him sounds like an awfully boring experience. ]

So, would you rather die with those comrades of yours that you fought against us Amanto with? [ Yeah, he's heard by now. He knows this much at least. ]

[ Takasugi isn't surprised that Kamui has heard. It has taken the other man long enough to come to that particular realisation; any slower, and Takasugi would start wondering about his intelligence. (Not that he would waste his energy doing that now.)

He lets out a sharp cackle. ]
Kuku...

No, Space Brawler-san. You got a word wrong. I'd rather die by them. [ Such a wasted chance at immortality.

Takasugi laughs again, the sound hollow and bubbling in his drowning lungs. ]


They are no comrades of mine.
