Armored Core: The Final Push (Paused)

[Zahzi]

"Yeah. Reason number ONLY that we're not telling him that!" Roadie said, looking back at her.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"I don't believe you." Kelly huffed.

"Why wouldn't you tell him his daughter almost died AGAIN?"  

[Zahzi]

"Because we don't want everyone DYING..?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Those people just tried to kill me because I brought Jarid home!"  

[Zahzi]

"Yeah...You really should have seen that one coming...."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"That's like putting blame on a rape victim."  

[Zahzi]

"I'm SURE Jarid went on a tirade about how people who support him usually die..."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"No." Kelly lied.

"He just bitched at me for trying to protect him from some thugs in my second almost-death experience, saying he could have handled it just fine."  

[Zahzi]

Roadie just flicked her on the forehead as he opened up the door, he and Takafumi walked inside.

Jarid was in the living room, reading a book as he looked over at them.
"....Great...You two..." he said, returning to his book.

"Oh. LOVELY ******** p***k...."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Roadie was then promptly kicked in the back of his head shortly after he flicked Kelly.

"Don't mind him." She grunted, though she didn't look at Jarid.
"He's probably still pissy because I wouldn't let him starve himself."  

[Zahzi]

"...He's STILL being that dramatic!?" Roadie yelled, looking at Kelly wide-eyed.
".....Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand where is Irish..?"

"After Kelly ran off, he became distraught and locked himself in the study, lying on the floor, sobbing about what a failure of a father he is." Jarid replied, turning the page.

"....He hasn't changed....."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Yeah. First, he tried to sleep in alley. Now he's starving himself." Kelly grunted to Roadie.

When Jarid reported where Irish had gone, she let out a heavy sigh.
"Every time... Every ******** time..." She groaned.
"Hell! I don't even have to run away! If I go to the store unannounced he does this!"  

[Zahzi]

"....Might want to tell him you're back..." Roadie said, looking up at her.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"I'd rather not..." Kelly whimpered, looking over Takafumi's head the best she could to Roadie.  

[Zahzi]

"I'd rather not have a dead preacher...."
