[dream 04] for I am the Caesar [week 2, day 2]

You're running, running even through the clenching hitch in your side, the burning in your throat and the fact that your feet have gone numb; through all this, you run.

( I'm gonna seize the day... )

Lelouch?

[The dream was a dream, and Iroh was learning to ignore them, but the sound of footsteps were troubling. As near as Iroh could tell, something must have startled the young man at least, and things were starting to look strange outside.]

[ His voice is hurried; Lelouch is commenting while ripping up a floorboard and removing Zero's clothes and mask and gun. ]

Something's wrong.

Yes. It looks like a lunar eclipse out, but there are no stars. And there are things moving outside.

[The lunar eclipse unsettled Iroh enough -- he remembers the death of the moon spirit too well to see a blood-red moon as anything but an omen. The lack of stars marked it as something other than a natural event -- and he didn't want to investigate what was moving outside, or the sounds coming from his bathroom. Of course, it had to happen at night when his firebending would be weaker.]

There may be safety in numbers. Until we can find a refuge, it might be wise for those of us in Kusasato to band together.

If we can gather safely. I'm not convinced one can travel easily right now. Or stay in one place, for that matter.

[ Lelouch switches to video. He has now changed into Zero's clothes, save for the helmet, for two reasons: to keep his hands free while he inspects and loads his gun, which he had disassembled to store, and also to allow Iroh to see what he would be dressed like, especially the helmet. This was no longer time for secrecy. ]

I don't think it's safe to move, but it's much more dangerous to stay.

I'll meet you where you are if you send me your coordinates.

[ He hefts the helmet. ]

I'll be wearing this - [ as he says it, Zero's helmet clamps down, its weight comforting. It's easier to be Zero when the world's falling apart, easier to think with the security in anonymity and the purity of results. Today's goals are to meet Iroh and not die. He continues speaking without missing a beat; now the electronics in the helmet crackle obscuring static into his voice. ] - so don't be alarmed. You can fight them, right?
