[redeify]

Well.

[ what else can one say, really, in reflection of certain things. dai appears on the video feed, smiling thinly in the weird grungy light afforded by the all-too-familiar scenery of the run-down cathedral. in the dark, only barely revealed in shape by one filthy, washed-out window of unbroken glass, a handful of figures move sluggishly,

voice.

[tridented]

With such a willing and exemplary host, how can one refuse?

video.

[redeify]

[ oh, mukuro.

dai always liked you. ]

Anything that one can do to please. I don't think I'm the only one to feel a little lonely lately, am I?

It would be nice to see us all together.

voice.

[tridented]

[ oh boy being on the receiving end of dai's affection!! ]

Perhaps it'll make things a little more lively.

voice.

[redeify]

[ how could this go wrong!! ]

So long as we have the pleasure of your company, Mukuro. We have to rely on those who are lively to lift the spirits of the rest.

[pyrrhous]

-woah.

[redeify]

[ the politest of smiles! ]

Is something wrong?

1/2

[pyrrhous]

From your face to the freaks behind you, I think I prefer the latter.

[pyrrhous]

The hell is wrong with you?

[blonde_neophyte]

Just what are those things in the background there?

They had better not be prisoners.

[redeify]

Prisoners? [ he laughs, shaking his head. ] ... Such an imagination on you, Elena. You always seem to think nasty things of me.

Please be at ease. I'm not forcing anyone to stay here.

[blonde_neophyte]

I doubt those...people...have much of a choice.

Just how much of this city do you actually want?

Let me guess...all of it?

[redeify]

Yes. [ it's astonishingly blunt, and dai's expression is thoroughly unchanged, as relaxed as ever. ] There's no use in doing these things half-way, you know.

Don't you think I'd be a good leader? I'm compassionate, resourceful, appreciative, courteous... I'd fight and die for all of you, you know.

[pteroda]

. . .

[Oh my god. She's a little horrified.]

Who... are they?

[redeify]

[ hi yuuki. :)

dai perks slightly, glancing down at the one kneeling beside him as though he's only just noticed their presence. he looks back at the screen slowly, tilts his head like yuuki's just said something rather endearing. ]

... A little audience. Do excuse my rudeness in not introducing them sooner.

[pteroda]

[hello dai :<

she looks as if she's studying what she's seeing before finally speaking up again]

...They don't have any light in their eyes.

[redeify]

[ aw, look at that sympathy. she's still as cute as ever.

dai shakes his head gently. ]

You needn't worry about them. Of course, with such an appearance, perhaps it's second nature to feel a little sympathy - they do, after all, look so much like yourselves.

... But there's no such richness of entity. Not only that richness found in humans, but to be found in all living things.

[sospital]

[She's distracted by the individuals in the background, but doesn't ask. At least, she's currently trying not to ask.]

...Celebrate...?

[redeify]

Nothing strange or ritualistic, I assure you. [ he smiles disarmingly. after all, it's likely that someone might get the wrong impression, if he doesn't clarify. ] Perhaps something a little formal, if some nice suits or dresses could be pillaged from the stores. Though a purchased suit could never be as lovely as something tailored, even a dead culture ought to keep up appearances, don't you think?

I'm quite content to arrange anything else necessary. Food, drink, the venue. And so on.
