Some Things Should Go Unknown

Oct 21, 2011 03:32

Where: 6's crazy corner in the Cathedral
When: Sometime after 6's death
Who: 1 and 6
What: 1 has to know...and 6 might have the answers.
Warnings: Angsty angst buckets and some possible meta.

Five and Six's disappearances did not go unnoticed by One...neither did their return from the well, either. Eventually he forced the truth out of Five with enough goading and stick shaking. The truth...stunned him, to say the least. No, worse, he personally blamed himself for this. He should have been there, he should have protected them somehow. He failed and it ate at him.

This city was much worse with those deadly machines and treacherous humans. Coming here left him completely unprepared. Why did the building come here? And what of the sign with its caveat "There is no Number Seven"? These burned at his mind and somehow he had to prepare himself for what the city had.

Six had been the first one here, so naturally he must have learned something. One knew Six knew some things, he did. At the same time  he did know the stitchpunk was a lunatic. But he didn't have any other options.

Taking his hat, cane, and cloak in stride One took a deep breath and passed the curtain to Six's private corner. This wasn't going to be easy, at all.

[9] 1, [9] 6
