( while he and dice weren’t “the best of chums”, they were teammates and friends, as dice had so boldly declared. so, it was only natural that gentaro offered up his spare futon after practice at ramuda’s on a particularly cold night. while their benevolent leader would usually grant refuge for the stray, tonight he had some pretty ladies coming over, which meant the streets or ... well, gentaro’s. so he offered.

t wasn’t like dice hadn’t crashed their once before after a desperate and whining phone call. but it’d be the first time gentaro offered before the night unfolded.

no one deserved to freeze to death. even morons.

still. he hadn’t been expecting his apartment complex to not have power or heat. so by the time they got back and in, gentaro was busy lighting candles and incenses for both heat and light. )

Perhaps the park would have been better after all.

( he hadn’t meant to do this.

hubris is a terrible thing, and asking for help and asking for someone to forgive him had never been part of the equation. ever since his childhood, ever since he had grown bitter to showing any weakness, to anyone, he had ripped such thoughts from his vocabulary.

so when things went wrong, when he had gotten too close to the sun, nearly cracking the code, reverse engineering it — he was left alone.

it had been a long time coming, obsessing with his work and not paying attention to the normal peer review and protocols he ought to. but he was so certain and he’d finally be recognized and he’d finally have something meaningful.

but now... now he was just doomed to a world of ice, the opposite of what he had intended. the cold, barren earth, the survivors and friends he once had evacuated to somewhere else. things had been going to shit to begin with, this wasn’t all his fault — but he hadn’t made it better. he had just made it worse. and that’s just as bad, perhaps.

no one would come back for him. no one would care what a mad scientist would do that doomed a planet to eternal cold. )
