[The post starts with a twirling view of the sky, the ground, the sky again, the ground again, etc as the device bounces on the pavement. It just so happens to land mostly on its side, slightly tilting upwards as it leans against some debris behind it. The shot is perfect for catching a white-hooded man standing with a drawn sword in the distance.

[Well isn't this interesting.]

What're you up to old man. Thought you were gonna save the day for me.

[Yeah that thing, about Seifer's form of helping, yeah...]

[betrayedblade]

[Again the annoyance of this device's noise catches his attention but he doesn't do much about it.]

[inyourgarden]

[He hates being ignored :(]

...Tch! I know you can hear me old man or you goin' deaf and not just senile on me here? The hell are you doing? That ain't lookin' like you're watching Eald'narche's back.

[betrayedblade]

He's in the cellar.

[You will be, too, if you keep annoying him.]

[inyourgarden]

[You can try and get him in a cellar, but it won't work out so well no really, Prydain'd probably keep the doors locked and refuse to let him in lmao.]

That doesn't look like the cellar. What're you doin'. You think you're some kind of knight who's gonna make this all go away on his own? There's a point where you've gotta let go of the dream Giovanni.

[betrayedblade]

[He laughs. It is not a happy sound. Nor sarcastic. Just creepy.]

You think I have illusions of grandeur? I think you don't know me so well.

[inyourgarden]

Then how about givin' me a reason less you ain't got one. So far all I'm seeing is a dumb old man who's too stupid to realize when he's makin' a mistake.

Well!?

[betrayedblade]

Not a mistake.

Yours is thinking I plan on surviving.

[inyourgarden]

... [Okay he just laughs. Honestly, out of everything he's heard lately...]

Guess you forgot you're in Discedo. Oh you're gonna survive Giovanni. Die as many times as y'want. Think it'll get you something?

You'll just keep showin' up at the hospital every time. Course I gotta wonder about your friends while you're off being stupid. This city is fallin' apart. Pretty funny don't you think! Everyone acts like they know this place like the back of their hand, same old same old, but when trouble comes callin' just look what happens.

They fall to pieces. I ain't seen a more pathetic place in my life.

You're running in the lead for the most pathetic award though, gotta say. Don't think I've seen anyone make it to levels quite this stupid yet, heh. I'll see you at the hospital old man.

[Where he will punch you :| Or try to lol.]

[betrayedblade]

You wouldn't understand.

[inyourgarden]

[...Lol not the answer he expected ohgod what does he say to this even-]

Tch. Try me.

[betrayedblade]

[...]

Nothing in life matters more to a father than his children. Not friends, not other family, not loyalties. The people here mean nothing compared to that one life or set of lives. He would give anything to make everything right for them.

I don't feel shame saying that. I don't care who overhears that I would condemn over my children's safety.

Take that away, and there is nothing left.

I don't care anymore.

[inyourgarden]

[The hell did he just listen to. But he thinks he gets it. ...Tch, didn't know Giovanni had any actual family in town.]

Guess when he shows up at the hospital it'll just be me an' him then. You can come over when you're done being stupid.

[...]

It ain't that bad y'know. [The dying he means. Hurr he's done it after all.]

[betrayedblade]

And how quickly was your death compared to that of others? Don't try to mock me!

[inyourgarden]

A death's a death Giovanni. Life is pain. No one is an exception. Aren't you too old for these games?

He will come back and he'll be wondering where the hell you are. Y'want I can tell him you're busy being suicidal, ain't my son after all.

[betrayedblade]

No. You're wrong. This place shouldn't even exist.

Death isn't a game. It should never have become one. And I will not abide by someone else's rules! You don't play God!

[He's silent for a moment and then speaks softly once more.]

And I won't play your head-games anymore. Vaffanculo.
