First a visit from 'Mommy, dearest'... now from 'Daddy'~  does that mean that I can expect my sister next~? If so, maybe I should look into a summer home upstairs...

Have you been paying attention, so far~?

One whispered word~ how beautiful.

You see your father today?

[council-king.livejournal.com]

No, can't say I did.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Ah, I apologize, I misheard you.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

That's quite alright~ It's nice to talk to you again, Mara. How've you been?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I remembered, Rido. I remembered who killed me.

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Oh? Who was it?

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Tsurugi. He's a police officer.

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

A police officer? Horrible... you just can't trust anyone, can you? I do hope the others intend to bring him to 'justice'...

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

The Chief, Kate, she's investigating.

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

And what about this Tsurugi while she investigates?

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I think he's suspended. The other officer was.

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Just suspended after killing someone? Are they offering you protection?

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I didn't think to ask... he's being watched I believe.

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Not very comforting...

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I suppose not, but... do you think I need to?

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd hate to see some one else hurt you again Mara. You're mine...

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I'll call Kate. Or better, Ken. He can come and stay with me.

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Ken? How lovely.

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

He's a friend, he was... he was killed like I was. By another officer.

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

... another officer... are you sure the two of you will be safe in the City?

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Where else could we go?

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Somewhere where they don't have your address on file, I'd think...

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

The houses, the ones on the mountains. Maybe I should go there?

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Not a bad idea. The mountains offer certain benefits.

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Like what?

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Such as retreating to a place that's less accessible to most. I can't imagine he's very happy at having been exposed.

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I don't even know what he can do? I know he has powers...

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Should I protect you? Or do you suppose Ken will be enough...

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I... I trust Ken.

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

You trust him to be able to stop this Tsurugi?

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

...yes?

[private]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

You don't sound certain, my dear.

Well, if for some reason he should fail, you should give me a call.

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I will, Rido, and thank you. It means a lot.

[private] oh the lies...

[council-king.livejournal.com]

Of course, Mara. I may not show it, but I do care.

[private]

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

You had the irritating Sergeant suspended and the whiny Worm put under suspicion? Are you doing this just for me?

Of course, this won't lead to me in the end, now, will it?

[Private//Unhackable]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

I do like to kill whole flocks of birds with a single stone. Why shouldn't my Favourite benefit~?


Are you worried?

[Private//Unhackable]

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

Very efficient--your "Favourite"? In the classical use of the term?

Not particularly. It would, of course, be easier if I didn't have to take the fall but I'm perfectly capable of coping with it.

[Private//Unhackable] *not that it means he'd necessarily follow them but anyway~*

[council-king.livejournal.com]

You seem surprised. Who better to fill that role in this place than you?

Hearing you say such things only confirms my decision. But don't concern yourself, I know the rules...

[Private//Unhackable] Figures.

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, naturally. I think I'm probably flattered.

I'm so relieved.

[Private//Unhackable]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

And what about you... I'm eager to see who's next...

[Private//Unhackable]

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

I'm considering my plan, if that's what you mean.

*grudgingly given praise*

A better showing than the elf's contribution.

[Private / Unhackable to Villains in the 'Game' Plot]

[council-king.livejournal.com]

So glad you think so, Luke~

It's a pity it won't last...
