-25th Bullet-

[emperor_cowboy]

[It's really late at night... or really early in the morning! Either way, Hol Horse has taken to leaving the house as some insane hour. He did his best to retain a cool attitude over the whole zombie mess when he was talked to... but he could only fake it for so long. He took a walk to the park... without the horse.

The place seemed to be well enough deserted... he seemed calm and collected on the outside. Inside his mind was racing. There was plenty of pent up rage as well, which had been suppressed time and time again. It was only during events when he cracked... he hated this place.

Eventually he came to a stop in front of a rather large tree. Lowering his head, he decided that this was a good as time as any to get rid of that anger. Though in the end, he'd only be further mad at himself later. He threw an all out punch to the tree... and continued to do this for some time.]

[Seeing as school is in session, chaos is on his way to school without Rika this morning, and is on his way to the park to sit and relax for a bit on his own without much noise, especially after his slight annoyance at the Major the night before.]

[He stops when the sees that someone else is already there, and realizing after a few moments when the light is right that it's Hol, he stands still, not sure if he should approach; especially since it seems the man is busy beating up a tree.]

[He's so absorbed in punching the tree, that he hasn't taken note of anyone else who might be in the area. When his hand can't take anymore of the constant beatings... he simply began using the other hand.]

[chaos shakes his head softly, and begins to move forward]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[As much as his hands took a beating, it was only when he couldn't strike the base of the tree any further that he finally paused. He started at the trunk... and grit his teeth and began the process again.]

Whatever's bothering you isn't worth breaking both hands to the point of disuse, is it? [Near enough to Hol now his voice will carry without having to shout]

[Greed is passing the park when he sees the poor tree taking a beating. He's got two bottles of liquor in one hand and a case of some piss ass excuse for beer in another. The bar didn't keep inventory, so he figured what the hell.]

Ya look like you could use some of this as much as I can.

[Leave it to Hol to turn around and summon his Stand upon being startled. The Emperor looked a little worse for wear... and was hardly as visibly gold. Though he can't maintain a firm grip, and the Stand continues to disappear in an out of existence.]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[The last thing he was expecting... was to be bothered!]

... and you are?

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos seems surprisingly un-phased by it. Walking up to someone like Hol without announcing your presence he knows is foolish, so he merely smiles faintly and holds his hands up in an example of 'I'm unarmed']

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[Keeping The Emperor out in the open was rather... difficult at the moment, as he had to keep his grip upon it. The Stand looks a little... well, broken. Much like his hands. He remains there for a moment or so, before finally recalling his Stand, arms dropping and he leans against the tree, almost in disgust.]

What do you want...?

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Well I thought I should say something, before you tore your hands beyond repair. And offer to heal them for you.

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[He flinched.]

Rather ya didn't. Let's me focus on somethin' else other than the hate I have fer this place...

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Pain will allow you that?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

... Well it was, til someone started talkin' to me...

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[Have a faint smile]

Shall I leave then?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Yer here... ya might as well stay...

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos nods a little, and moves over to examine the tree. This time, he's not going to say anything, Hol. It seems he may be waiting on you.]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[He watches the other very carefully...]

I think the tree'll be okay.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Oh I am sure it will be. I was just curious how much damage you did. [Smiles at Hol]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Not enough as I could've...

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos chuckles]

What's wrong this time? Or, is it the same as always?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

What... what isn't wrong?

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

The name's Greed.

[He'd shake hands, but they're currently full of booze.]

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

[chaos smiles again, this time it has a look of 'do you wish to speak about it?']

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[Hol lowered his haze to the ground. What good came out of talking?]

... I can't do this anymore.

[chaoschildofgod.livejournal.com]

Do what?

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

This town! I can't go on in this stupid... town!

[He clenches his fist and quickly pulls it back.]

Even though I got nothin' t' go to back home, I ain't got nothin' here either.

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[Well, he'd shake on it too but... well his hand is a little...]

Greed?

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

[He pulls his hand back, and shrugs.]

Yeah, not very common, huh? My Father's not very good with naming things.

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

[... Right now he could care less about odd names...]

If ya say so...

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

[Greed shakes the pack of beers.]

So, uh, you want one?
