Thirtieth Star

[heavenfang]

...As of some time last night, it is apparent that Officer Naoto Shirogane has left Discedo...

I will be taking over her post here at the police office. The care of prisoners Helter Skelter and Yuca Collabell will be my duty from here on until otherwise noted.

[Locked to Self. Possibly hackable]

...She's gone. All that was left were her hat and spectacles. I think I'll leave these to Kazuki when it's all over...

And so it will begin. I'm sorry, Naoto, but at least... at least you won't be here to see it.

[Spoken to Helter and Cecil. Obviously you won't hear this if you aren't there with them]

It's time to eat.

Naoto-chan? I was wondering, when she didn't respond...

That's... That's not good.

ooc [not really feeling confident with his characterization right now, but he needs to respond]

...I'm sorry, Kazuki, I...

[[ooc: Take your time, bb. We can talk when I get home from work ]]

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling that something's going to happen, and...

She won't be there to talk you out of it.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...I'll be fine.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

I--

I'm not stupid, Tir. I can tell when something's up.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

This isn't the time for an argument.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

If not now, then when? It... It might be too late for me to say anything about it.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

You keep lording this apparent doom over us. What proof do you have? I was just sick, Kazuki. And now Naoto's gone, and...

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

You were sick, and then I hardly see you all of a sudden... You start talking to me like this! I've never heard you talk to me like this before.

It scares me, Tir.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, this is a scary place. At any moment, you or I can be flung back home, never to see the other again. At any moment, some other madman will go on a murderous spree and kill one or both of us. At any moment...

Reality is grim. Life here is dangerous. The only true law is the law of death and desertion.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

Wh-- What?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

...Don't be dumb, Tir.

You know I'm not going anywhere.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Are you going to honestly say you don't miss your world of peace and music?

You won't have a choice anyways...

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

Well-- Yeah, but...

I wouldn't go if I couldn't bring you with me.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Don't be stupid. I can't be brought to a place like that. Not with what I carry...

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

It's not stupid...

Then I won't go.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I won't matter what you or I want. It's going to happen.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

...What do you want, Tir?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...I don't want you to have to live in this place anymore.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

[Ouch. It takes him awhile to shake that one off.]

I don't want to go.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Didn't I already say it isn't going to matter? You want to stay by my side. I want you to be safe. These are conflicting desires.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

What are you saying? I don't understand.

You don't want to be around me anymore...?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

That's not what I'm saying, just...

I don't know what I'm saying.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

...I'm still not going.
