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.

[/Locked to Seld]


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

It's time to eat.

Nothing lasts forever, as they say...

...But they're wrong.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, that's definitely incorrect. Many things last forever.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...Not even death is permanent here. Though I wonder...

-He looks idly at his right hand, flexing the gloved fingers-

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

What do you wonder?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

In my own world, the cycle of reincarnation can be ended rather abruptly if the soul is removed from the chain.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

Oh? [Now he's interested.] And how do you do that?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...

-he remains silent-

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

...you know a way? I--

Never mind.

[He goes back to curling up in his cell.]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

He's gone, you know. That man, Rain. They wanted to ask him some more questions, but he was nowhere to be found. His frequency gone.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

[There's silence for a moment.]

...he didn't kill me.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...So that was it. That was what you wanted.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

I don't want to keep coming back.

How fitting that I'm here... Discedo is so similar... it's another Hell.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...

Let's make a deal.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

What do you have in mind?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I can give you what you want. A true death. Nothing ever returns from this power being used on them.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

...you can?!

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

But I require something in return.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

What is it?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

You won't be allowed to make a single sound during the process. Even if you want to.

[ys-cant-die.livejournal.com]

...I will remain silent.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Good...

-He looks over at Helter, whom is still smoking the cigar quietly. He wouldn't talk. Good.

He rises from his desk, and walks over to Cecil's cell, pulling the key ring from his belt-

[Cecil joyfully turns and watches Tir. Tonight would be the end...]
