001 // And the dark is nearing to me;

[batshitftw]

[Scampers out of the church, holding her staff and looking around like a scared child.] W-where am I?! This isn't...!

... Haseo?! Kuhn? Pi! Where are you? [Looks around while taking a few steps into the street before getting almost getting mowed down by a car. Screams and quickly goes back to the sidewalk. Commence falling to her knees and just

[surpraizepitaph]

[Oh god damn. Approaches with caution!] ... Miss Atoli?

[batshitftw]

[Looks up and squeaks a bit in surprise. LAST PERSON WE WANT TO SEE AFTER BEING KILLED THX.] L-Lord Kazumi?! What are you doing here?!

[surpraizepitaph]

[OH SHIT SHE KNOWS WHO I AM! ENGAGE FULL STRATEGIC RETREAT BEFORE... wait what.] Lord...?

[batshitftw]

[He didn't kill me onsight? ... Okay, still CONFUSED AS ALL HELL but now a bit more relaxed.] Is there something wrong...? I-I could stop calling you it if you want...

[surpraizepitaph]

[Oh, the confusion is quite mutual, let me assure you. Still on guard though.] You know who I am?

[batshitftw]

[Just nods a bit, unsure of how much to say. D:]

[surpraizepitaph]

[Takes a step back... just in case.] ... why were you calling me "lord"? [NOT THAT WE'RE COMPLAINING, MIND. WE DO ENJOY BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED.]

[batshitftw]

[Okayokayokay how much to say without giving too much away hmmmmm...] After you were placed as GU's new leader, I was assigned as your assistant... You... you don't remember?

[surpraizepitaph]

[WHAT THERE ARE OTHER REALITIES THAT HAVE HIM IN IT :OOO THIS IS THE MOST AWESOME THING EVER] Well, no, in my world when I become the leader of the GU I had someone else as my assistant...

[batshitftw]

Oh! I see...! So I'm useless now...?

[Bites back the crazy train and quickly stands up to bow a bit.] It's still great to see you, Lord Kazumi! O-oh, if you don't mind me still calling you that...?

[surpraizepitaph]

Oh, my apologies! I didn't mean to upset you! I'm just surprised by the idea that there's another world that has me in it. I was starting to think I was left out in that regard.

Please do as you wish! If it's easier for you, then by all means. But, Kazumi will do just as well.

[batshitftw]

A world without you...? How is--[...Ah.] Endrance did say I had a double... M-maybe it's not that strange that you're missing somewhere... [But back to :D!] Don't worry, Lord Kazumi! I won't forget you!

As long as you don't mind!

[surpraizepitaph]

It's rather nice to have someone who knows who I am, for a change [WITHOUT WANTING TO KILL ME FOR KNOWING I'M CRAZY meanwhile chuckling quietly.]

As you aren't my assistant in this place it isn't necessary, but please don't let me restrict you as to what you want to do.

[batshitftw]

I'm glad I was able to help cheer you up somehow!

All right! But.. [Fiddles hands for a second. Nervous nervous.] Does that mean you're not continuing... you know...

[surpraizepitaph]

[Wait what... suddenly looks a little cornered. DOES SHE KNOW SOMETHING]

... continuing...?

[batshitftw]

[OH SHIT WENT TOO FAR Waves hands nervously in front of her] I'm sorry! I thought it was best to ask... but if you're not, that's okay! I mean, I-I can understand! Considering how everyone reacted and all!

Ah! J-just forget I asked! Is that all right? I won't do it again!
