Room 504, Monday Evening

[intraspective]

By the time Ino got back to her room she had a headache from forcing herself to keep her temper. She opened the door, with slightly more force than was necessary, stepped inside then shut it. Oh-so-gently.

Then, almost calmly, she picked up one of her potted plants and flung it with all the force she could muster at the wall over her bed. The pot smashed satisfyingly but it wasn’t enough, not near enough, to make her feel better.

Another pot. Another crash against her wall.

How. Crash. Dare. Crash. He. Crash.

How. Crash. Dare. Crash. They. Crash.

Eventually she’d have to stop, either from running out of pots, or from spending her rage. Eventually she’d have to clean this mess up so she could sleep.

Eventually.

CRASH!

[Door is shut, post is very very open. ETA: Romeo showed up last, please. Everyone else is before him.]

"Does Deadpool-san agree?"

He was curious.

"He's the one who teaches Criminal Justice, right?"

[intraspective]

She snorted. "He's worse than I am right now." Fury-wise, at least. "He definitely agrees."

Ino was mad at Deadpool for a different reason than why she was mad at Cable.

"And--" crash! "--yeah. He's the teacher."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Ahh," he said thoughtfully.

He pulled out a caramel and popped it into his mouth. Sour cherry and boozy vanilla. Then he leaned against the wall.

"What has he done then? Though if you don't want to tell me, you don't have to obviously."

[intraspective]

Crash!

"Deadpool-san knocked me unconscious," Ino said flatly. "when I wanted to pay my respects to someone who'd died."

There was more to it than that, but that was good enough for now.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Have you paid your respects since then?"

[intraspective]

"Not to his body."

Expressionlessly.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"His body is no more him than that plant at this point," he said.

"The respect is the important part."

[intraspective]

Her hands clenched and she flung the plant violently.

"I didn't even get to see him."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I never got to see Her either," he said honestly. "After."

"You got to see him alive."

[intraspective]

...

...

"Didn't get that either."

It was one of the reasons it was such a big deal.

"Just once, in a picture."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Ah."

He considered that.

"Do you still have the picture?"

[intraspective]

"It's Cable-san's."

That would be a 'no'.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"But you remember it?"

[intraspective]

That got a faintly incredulous look.

"There's nothing wrong with my memory." Her memory was excellent.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I didn't say there was," he said.

He was quiet.

"Are you angry because he's dead?"

[intraspective]

Another incredulous stare.

"I'm angry at Deadpool-san." Not Caliban.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Ahh."

He nodded.

"And is he the only one you're mad at?"

[intraspective]

"No."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Who else are you mad at?"

[intraspective]

"Yondaime-sama," low and furious, "Cable-san."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Ah."

A moment's pause.

"Are you going to do anything? Or will you vent your anger and go on as usual?"

[intraspective]

A sidelong glance. "It's not like what I do will matter to them." Not that she was bitter about that, really.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"But it will matter to you," he said.

Frankly, he didn't care about the others except in how they affected Ino.

[intraspective]

"Yeah, well," she flung a plant, just to distract herself, "it's not like having my feelings trampled is new."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"It isn't in general," he agreed.

"Do you see any reason for it?"
