[....from Umeda's office, where the door is closed for once, comes the sound of Blade Runner.]


((OOC: Everyone and their mother, including Akiha and Io, have dropped in this last little while; Umeda's indulging in his comfort movie. *g* Anyone can feel free to jump this post to catch the movie with him or harass him after it to cheer him up; this post isn't for anyone specific -- I just didn't think I could manage a main-comm post that might hit a few thousand again, but anyone's still free to come and bug Umeda. Got an appointment? Meant to return something to him? Heard about the drops? Come by and say hi.))

I guess it's impressive just that there's enough opponents around to push you to that limit as the norm.

Mmm, well... replicants were declared illegal and not allowed on earth, and Deckard's job is as a cop who specializes in 'terminating' replicants. He'd tried to get out of the force, but forced back in to chase four of them who'd hijacked a ship and come back because they're trying to find a way to extend their lifespan -- they were made with a built-in time limit.

... You could say this place is interesting.

Time limit, huh. ... So why not extend it and send em back?

[It's a good action scene, just a little pathetic as to how she goes down, finally.] Seems a little uneven, fuck, what's the point of killing an opponent who's already shown their back? Besides saving them the disgrace.

[playingdoctor]

Yeah, I've been here a while. October's always the most interesting month, too. I'm gonna be kept busy.

That's one of the things the movie wants you to ask, actually. 'Cause those replicants are human to us, but to the characters and the laws on earth? Fear of the other. Deckard's kind of running the line between the two as someone who's been interacting with them, but is also a weapon being wielded by the force of authority on the side that declares they're not human and can't feel.

A really brutal point, I guess -- just that he's supposed to.

Interesting?

[Goes quiet, this new info with the meeting between Pris and Sebastian. ... And frowning when he asks them to do a trick] Hnph.

[playingdoctor]

There's usually a lot of people who come in near death in October. Throats torn out, limbs cut off, exposed organs -- yeaaaah, not the kind of stuff I look forward to. I haven't had a peaceful birthday in years.

[idly watches him watch it, still working on the legs] Can you still see the screen if I get you to roll over?

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

... You're right it does sound interesting. Just October... This place fucking works off of irony, doesn't it?

[Evaluates the screen for a second then shrugs, turns over] Doesn't matter.

[playingdoctor]

Well, you get it now and then other months, but from the start to the end of October it's a rising battle of monster invasions and bloody murders.

Great. [feet and calves and thighs, oh my]

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

[Sneaking a glance back at the movie now and then...]

Taking out people like they have here? Fuck, must be something!

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

[And completely freezes when you hit a nastier knot by the twisted knee... Acupuncture never really prepares for getting this out the hard way]

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

FUCK! WATCH IT!

[playingdoctor]

Sorry, sorry... [hand gentles considerably, going to break that one down a bit at a time] Whoa, this must have been hurting like a bitch for a while.

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

It's fine.

[playingdoctor]

...

[snickers] Yeah, it sure looks just fine.

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

DO YOU WANT TO DIE?

[playingdoctor]

U-toh, I wouldn't while I'm handling your sore personal bits.

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

...

...

...

Hurry up and finish then.

[playingdoctor]

Taking good care of someone's body takes time and attention, y'know.

[getting back to it, working slowly and carefully]

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

[Ignoring you, with power and unrivaled SKILL. Or rather watching the movie.]

[playingdoctor]

[Hahahah he's sooo cute.]

[eveeeentually, that muscle knot is going to start to relax a little.]

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

[This is vastly helped along by the fact that the shark's completely engrossed rather than paying attention to what you're doing.

The last of the knot starts to smooth out as Roy's meeting with Tyrell starts escalating]

... Dammit.

[playingdoctor]

[distractedly]

Mmm?

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

[Watching the let down, and the kiss and kill...]

Nothing. Just thought it was gonna be unsatisfying for a second there.

[playingdoctor]

Yeah... I find little about the movie unsatisfying, me, though a lot of it kinda hurts.

[moving on from the knee!]

[parttime-fang.livejournal.com]

[Chase through the building going on]

Yeah?

[playingdoctor]

Well, maybe you'll see.

[...also watching movie, k.]
