"don't just stand there like a stupid sudowoodo. work!" The man slams his knife down on the table, slicing a Slowpoke's tail clean off.[break][break]

On a nearby kitchen counter, there are knives waiting for you.[break][break]

it smells like blood in here.

iron permeates the simulated air and rainy can taste it on his tongue despite the affixed mask. a passing glance at one of the slowpokes lying on the counter, still and as dazed as they ever are, makes his stomach turn.

for a second, he thinks that those vegans might've been onto something. in another, he remembers that everything around them is as unreal as the last five iterations he'd seen before this: flashes of people that he doesn't recognize, ruins he'll never see, timelines and timelines of things he recalls and doesn't.

the fall of an executioner's ax brings him to attention.

his throat tightens. ( not real, but some things feel more real than others. ) rainy swallows, watching as the severed tail wriggles until the belated realization that it isn't attached anymore comes. "uegh," is all he manages, his disgust as clear as day where his modulator has failed for the second time that he ventures into the machine with company. "well, we're in the right place. gross, and sweaty, but the right place."

this time, someone to make sure that he stops filing expenditures for mental distress every time that he meets some grisly end because he'd been too slow to make the call to get the rest of the way through.

"last test run of the day, an' if it doesn't work, then." they're back to stage one.

trying and testing out all the others, again. and again. "you've done this one, yeah? just kill him or something." pause. "don't—like, actually kill him. but, like, if you do tell me when to close my eyes and cover my ears."

Cillian is back in Kanto again.[break][break]

It's not really Kanto. Or maybe it is. None of that matters. What matters is that he can taste the iron in the back of his throat and see the bloody man in front of him, and it makes him feel like a grunt again.[break][break]

His muscles tense involuntarily as the knife slams down.[break][break]

Yet the spray of viscera does not disturb him as it should. Slowpoke blood spatters against his cheek and he doesn't so much as flinch. He's seen this before, but...[break][break]

"No. I haven't."[break][break]

When he's seen this sort of thing, it's been for real.[break][break]

There's already a knife in his hand. He'd moved like clockwork to obey the stern order while barely registering it. He chops off a tail before he processes Rainy's suggestion.[break][break]

"Who?" He gestures silently with the knife, that the butcher won't overhear. "I doubt that would end well for us. Safer to just do what he asks, I'd think."[break][break]

Maybe decisions like this are why Rainy keeps dying, over and over.

"you're real fuckin' boring for a friggin' boss, you know?"

criticism comes out without his thinking, but rainy watches the man cleave off a tail without the slowpoke so much as flinching. in another world, he thinks that the man would've fit right in with the butcher: two big lookin' guys doing dirty work. but, knowing what he does makes cillian come off less impressive than he ought to. he'd been through the thing a handful of times, hadn't he?

at least once or twice, even if he hadn't found this specific pathway until—now.

playin' nice with the program was why they had fuck all on the rks other than it was in a submarine, was powered by some big rock and sent them into alternate realities that didn't really mean anything. irritated, rainy takes another passing glance around the butchery. "s'just these slowpoke and this guy. nothin' but that, so this must not be one of those—" fighting ones, unless he provoked the npc into battle. but, there was no promising that battle would have been with pokemon instead of fists or the knife he was holding.

"safer isn't always the more interesting option."

he mumbles to himself something about the door, about shapes that might've yielded anything.

"what kinda knife's that, you know?" he tries the door. no good here either. rainy mimes holding one, then taps an invisible handle. "recognize any symbols?"

"You should be glad of that."[break][break]

The undercurrent of threat in the words is, he hopes, enough to keep Rainy from harassing him further.[break][break]

The things that made Cillian interesting were the things that made most squirm. The reasons he could handle the gore of the Slowpoke dissections without flinching.[break][break]

Gold eyes settle on Rainy with a renewed interest when he dismisses safety.[break][break]

"I agree with you," says the underboss calmly, "but while repeatedly killing yourself in the simulation might be more interesting, it hardly gets results."[break][break]

Unless they were looking into the study of the different ways to slaughter a person, but Rocket hardly needed tips for that.[break][break]

He glances down at the knife in his hand. Frowns at it.[break][break]

"Hm. No. It's very... generic. Not even a brand mark."[break][break]

Maybe the knife wasn't the important part of this simulation?[break][break]

Their butcher overlord snarls something about productivity, and Cillian severs another tail to keep him complacent. "He won't hold off forever, you know."
