Chapter 15: A sacrifice and a successful negotiation [voice//filtered from Yuca]

[fightingvirtue]

[Ryuubi sounds distant - strange and distant, as though partway gone into the strange half-dream, half-memory state that hounds him sometimes. Not completely, though, he's making sense. He's clearly addressing the city.]There will not be another wave of angels. Yuca Collabel is not making any more of them. Our only worry now is the ones already

[What the deuce, man. It's reassuring that there won't be any new angels - he's had a couple close calls - but fff. Yeah he's not gonna jump at the chance to look for those notes.]

You intend on taking him on or something?

[fightingvirtue]

[Impossible to please, you and your boyfriend both.]

No, I do not. Even if I did, I don't have a weapon.

[sauceytomato]

[NOT MY BOYFRIEND!]

Then why tell us where he is?

[fightingvirtue]

[HOW'S THE WATER IN THAT RIVER IN EGYPT?]

Because others might want to. Others might not be happy any other way.

[sauceytomato]

[SHUT UP.]

Again, wasted breath. There's no point in offing someone when they just come back from the dead.

[fightingvirtue]

Oh, I agree. I absolutely agree. Would you mind convincing the rest of them?

[sauceytomato]

Again, no point. Unlike you, I'd rather not bother talking to deaf ears.

[fightingvirtue]

[He has more patience than any man he'd ever known, but right now, this child is testing it.]

Then there's nothing more to say. We still have work to to.

[sauceytomato]

You mean you do. I'm done with this angel crap.

[fightingvirtue]

...

Yes. That is what I mean.
