OOC: Plotting post is here, and feel free to comment there with questions or if you wanna plan out more details before jumping into the log. Please comment to the ooc post if you want to be involved and haven't already responded, so we can work out why Godstiel would be going after/helping your character! Random encounters without planning are okay, but may not lead to anything but a discussion.

Post your own threads in this log for any confrontation with Godstiel, and please make a note of the day in the subject line, and the setting if appropriate. Threadjacking/setting up threads are fine as long as the other parties are good with it! The final confrontation with him near midnight on the 31st will be with Oz, but people can still encounter him earlier in the day on the 30th. PM me with any questions!

Yosuke leaps back, out of Gus's reach. It's only then that he notices the puddle, which he realizes belatedly is-oh, gods. His face goes bright red. Nearly plum, even. He gives the wet leg a dismayed shake, and stumbles backwards again until he's pressed against the wall. No, no, no. This isn't happening.

"I'll scream."

It comes out low and rough, as if there's a bunch of gravel in his throat. It feels like there is. If his stomach wasn't empty, he might be sick. As it is, he can only stand there sweating and shaking, covered in piss, making hoarse threats at a man who obviously can't be killed anyway.

Fuck. And all of his heroes are dead. No matter if he does scream, no one will come for him this time.

The character was both easier and harder the longer he kept it up. Gus had been playing this role for more than twenty years: it wasn't Hanamura that would going to make him break, he told himself. Or whatever avenging angel Castiel claimed to be. Even if both names would be added to a very short list in his head.

But whatever God Castiel reported to surely knew how frustrating this was becoming, and he allowed some of that to leech through, rubbing his temples. "Do you think I asked for this, Mr. Hanamura? I was just..." He took a deep breath, let it out slowly, wiping his hands over his face. "I-- I can't even take it to the police, can I? There is nothing I can do."

But oh, he would find a way later on.

"And tell them that an angel deemed you unholy? Yeah, I guess not."

It's a surprise when his voice comes out mostly steady. But somehow it does. His spine straightens, too. Back against the wall or not, he's not going down without a fight. It's pretty obvious what Gus should do next, even to Yosuke, who has never been in this sort of situation before. He's a strategist at heart. He understands. He's gone from acquaintance to liability just like that. Shit...

Hanamura was possibly smarter than he looked, which admittedly wasn't difficult for someone who looked like he did at this moment. Braver, as well. But it would take a great deal more than a puppy yapping to faze Gustavo Fring, even recently reincorporated. He turned to Yosuke, holding his hands out at his sides, openly annoyed now. "I meant because this... apparent gift of mine leaves me without proof," he snapped.

Of course, what Yosuke didn't know was that this was the far safer option. It was when Gus stopped showing emotion that it was time to worry. "And do you want to know why it happened?" he went on, aggrieved. "I can tell you. I'm not proud of it, it's not something I talk about, but you seem very concerned."

"I think I remember learning the deadly sins. It's the stuff you never expect to need that ends up sticking, right?"

His voice squeaks a bit, but it's there. Steady and grounded underneath the betrayals of puberty. And his eyes haven't moved from Gus. They won't, either. If they're both walking away from here, Gus is obviously going to have to go first. He might be a bleach blond, but he still knows better than to turn his back on an impervious man.

"You don't look like the too many donuts type of guy, and you're a successful man with a family, right? That limits the options."

[businessman]

"Not... exactly." It came to him in a flash: he had one secret he could divulge, one that wouldn't destroy all his work. From what he'd seen of the Port, that was a thing people forgave far more easily than they might have in Chile, in New Mexico.

He made himself look down, chagrined. Gus Fring, Restaurant Owner would be embarrassed. He hid out of shame. "I am a successful man who has broken his vows. Repeatedly. For a very long time."

"Adultery?" That's a different set of sins, isn't it? Is it still smite-worthy? Regardless of the answer, the look that Yosuke gives Gus is nothing short of disgusted. He's young, and idealistic. The very idea of having everything that Gus had at home and ruining it all like that distresses him. It's like poking a little hole in all the things the future is supposed to be. If even a guy who always seemed nice can be so much of a cheater that an angel decides to kill him, how much hope can there be for anyone else?

Yosuke takes a step back again, closer to the wall of the building. Maybe if he presses back against it he can stop these things from sneaking up behind him and bowling him over. Or maybe it'll just take the stress off his knees, which are still shaking. "Why? What's wrong with you? Why would you do that? You have kids!"
