...so the rest of the building seems to be holding up, even though we lost the entire top floor. I still don't trust it.

[suprstarmeister]

The place ain't looking like much anyway right now...but I guess you got a point. Suppose I can scount out around the warehouses for something.

[asymmetriphobic]

...well, it's better to save it than have another apartment collapse. Plus, I like this apartment.

Want me to go with you? It's so dark out there, who knows what we'll run into.

[suprstarmeister]

Yeah, you pointed that out when I started taking the walls down, very loudly...

I can handle myself. Besides, I thought you hated those dirty grimy places.

[asymmetriphobic]

Because you were ruining it!

...well, I'm not saying I like those filthy places, but... it's stupid for you to get yourself injured at a time like this, especially after you just healed. It's better to go with someone else, and I don't want to risk Tsubaki or Jackie.

[ineuphony]

I'm [...] alright.

[asymmetriphobic]

Are you staying with him?

[ineuphony]

For a while yes, until I can figure out what we should do next. Clearly Latimir isn't in much of living condition.

[asymmetriphobic]

Unfortunately... we might just have to rebuild. [Because 202 is too symmetrical to let go.]

[apatientsoul]

... I have candles if you need them, Kid-kun.

[asymmetriphobic]

Well, that's good.

How many do you have?

[apatientsoul]

I have.. six, I think.

[asymmetriphobic]

Six... Alright. Let's save two for later, and each of us take one for now. I can ask Nill's father if you, Jackie and Chrona can stay over at Horton... Black*Star and I are going to try and keep the apartment standing.

[shinigami_chop]

I'm alright, Kid! No need to worry about me.

Are you okay?

[asymmetriphobic]

I'm glad, Chichi-Ue.

Yes, I'm alright. Black*Star and I are attempting a bit of repair-work.

[shinigami_chop]

Oh? I hope that's going well! Do you need any help?

[asymmetriphobic]

I think we'll be alright. We're not quite sure how the entire complex will hold up, but hopefully Maka's friend will be able to help, once we can see a bit more.

[loyal_inferno]

Huh? Oh...There's another Jackie?

Yeah the building looks like it's going to hold up, but still...

Do you think maybe we should leave for now...?

[asymmetriphobic]

Ah... yeah. Nill's father is Jackie as well.

...it's still somewhat shaky. I'm concerned.

You, Tsubaki, and Chrona should go stay with them, for now at least. Horton didn't have any significant structural damage, so it should be okay.

Um, Jackie... do you mind if I called you Jacqueline? It would reduce the confusion tenfold.

[loyal_inferno]

Oh I see. Nill is...your girlfriend?

Me too...

I don't mind as long as we're not a burden, but where are you and Black☆Star going to stay?

Yes it's fine, I agree wholeheartedly.

[asymmetriphobic]

Exactly. [And he's smiling.]

We'll figure it out. I don't think you'll be a burden... but I'm staying here. Going to try and make sure we can keep it held up. We'll be alright, don't worry.

Alright. Jacqueline it is.
