...that. äh. I, I mean--

Finally!

Rise and shine again, and isn't it a nice day?

The City's agitated again, good to see a little normality. Is it still about those boxes? Seems like I wasn't gone at all and yet--

I missed so much, didn't I?

Oops. And, uh, same filter.

So, it turns out that Kaspar can escape from hell after all. Well done on subverting the formula. Are you all right, Lietenant? Given definition, obviously.

same filter. I see a lot of non-existent strikes in the future.

[der_freischuetz]

Can he truly? First Samiel, then imprisonment and imprisonment can be escaped, yes? Not Samiel

I am, hm, no longer not wounded physically. Were you worried about me... Mister Saxon?

same filter. Yeeeeeaah...

[neverendingbeat]

Certain kinds can... Fair enough. I saw your Samiel, I assume. He seems...very dedicated to whatever it is he does. A rather big fuss over a few humans who came back to some sort of life anyway, I thought.

I'd hardly want to lose an ally after Why worry, I was completely confident about your eventual Yes, I suppose I was, Lieutenant. You seem to have attracted quite a few enemies. And your Samiel is as committed as the Doctor, only far less maudlin and much more likely to kill, from what I could tell. As I am right now, I don't think I could hope to stand against him. I'm sorry to have left you to his "tender mercies" but I wouldn't have been very much help, had I attempted any sort of rescue.

same filter. 1/3

[der_freischuetz]

Saw him! Did you see the creeping shadows and the hundreds and hundreds of eyes--

same filter.

[neverendingbeat]

Did I... Ah. I've been there before.

same filter.

[der_freischuetz]

There before?

same filter.

[neverendingbeat]

Mentally. That state of mind.

same filter.

[der_freischuetz]

Unpleasant, isn't it? And yet, still tamer than the reality. I did mean that literally.

same filter.

[neverendingbeat]

Mm.
...
If you would like any help coping with it, I believe I previously mentioned that I have a rather good understanding of the mind, though I would understand any hesitation on your part.

same filter.

[der_freischuetz]

That will not be necessary, I assure you. Especially after Samiel searched inside my mind I-- äh. Not necessary, yes.

same filter.

[neverendingbeat]

Very well.

same filter. 2/3

[der_freischuetz]

Anyway, ähm, him. He does what the one-eyed bat tells him to, but unfortunately, he does so enjoy my tragedy.

same filter. 3/3

[der_freischuetz]

And you are correct, Samiel is far from maudlin and I, I do understand you. Stillstillstill what they did I just wish I would know a possibility to-- you know, at least a possibility!

same filter. Strangely-caring!Master is caring!

[neverendingbeat]

My dear, you've clearly been through something incredibly awful. I don't know what strengths your Samiel possesses, nor do I know those of his associates but perhaps--
This obviously depends on whether you're in hiding now and whether you'd be amenable to the idea, but we could get together for tea and a plan of revenge, if that would make you feel better.

same filter; Awwww.

[der_freischuetz]

A plan of revenge! REVENGE. Against Samiel! Do you know what you're saying?

Nononono, I do not want to challenge him, nono, not at all

What am I thinking? Something needs to be done.

I can't

Too good a chance

Planing can't hurt.

I... might hide away until I'm fully recovered - just laying low a little. But certainly not in hiding, no, that's impossible. I have to will continue to be Millennium's representative in the City. No way back.

[private]
Ah, discussing plans might prove prolific and very interesting, yes. We shall do that.

same filter.

[neverendingbeat]

Good.

[private]
My flat is available for planning but if you're laying low, perhaps you would prefer me to come to where you are or to an alternate location? Tell me when you feel ready to do so.
