[Call] not_obsess3d January 20 2012, 05:28:34 UTC

[Well. Will you look at that.

A familar NV signal is making contact here. Ring ring beep beep.]

[Call] madannoshashu January 20 2012, 14:31:31 UTC

[ A familiar NV signal, indeed.

He answers the call. ]

Helloooo?

[Call] not_obsess3d January 20 2012, 22:40:56 UTC

Xigbar.

I assume everything has been busier than usual.

[Call] madannoshashu January 21 2012, 02:36:04 UTC

[ Oh hey, boss. Nice of you to come back. :| ]

You could say that.

[ A brief silence. Then: ]

You just get back?

[Call] not_obsess3d January 21 2012, 03:12:47 UTC

Yes. I did.

[Well. Okay, so it took longer than expected. There is another pause, however.]

Don't tell me you were waiting all this time.

[Call] madannoshashu January 21 2012, 03:24:07 UTC

Gee, I don't know, Superior.

Would you rather I forgot everything?

[Call] not_obsess3d January 21 2012, 03:28:22 UTC

Of course not.

...Perhaps we should discuss this in person.

[Call] madannoshashu January 21 2012, 03:41:41 UTC

That sounds just peachy.

The office good for you?

[ He's working late, as usual. ]

[Call] not_obsess3d January 21 2012, 04:11:43 UTC

Fine by me.

[He says nothing more. The NV gives a cautious chirp as the feed ends.

A Dark Corridor should be appearing soon enough in the Xino E. Mao building.]

[Action] madannoshashu January 21 2012, 04:25:11 UTC

[ And he's just sitting in his office, rifling through some papers. He looks up when the other comes in. ]

Why hello there, Superior.

[ His tone is light, but there's something almost pointed about it, despite his congenial exterior. ]

What's shakin'?

[Action] not_obsess3d January 21 2012, 04:39:18 UTC

[He can hear the difference. As the NV floats back, Xemnas keeps his gaze on the Second.]

I can say 'the usual.'

...But that isn't what happened.

[Action] madannoshashu January 21 2012, 04:50:49 UTC

[ You think?

Setting down a stack of rather official looking documents, he meets that gaze without flinching. ]

Not really, no.

[Action] not_obsess3d January 21 2012, 05:03:37 UTC

Of course not.

[And as expected. The room feels several degrees cooler than it should have been.]

Then tell me, Xigbar. What is it that you know?

[Action] madannoshashu January 21 2012, 05:18:17 UTC

[ There's a pause -- a brief one.

Then, his hands folded neatly on the desk, he answers the query. ]

Everything.

[Action] not_obsess3d January 21 2012, 05:36:28 UTC

[Quite concise.]

That saves us some of the trouble of reviewing what took place weeks earlier, now, doesn't it.

[Action] madannoshashu January 21 2012, 05:50:37 UTC

[ Quite.

Except he's not done yet, and even though Xemnas gave what might be considered a dismissal of the matter, Xigbar (for all that he is heartless) finds that he is far too annoyed to care. ]

Sure it does.

We'll just pretend it never happened, that the dog you picked took off your head instead of your hand.

Nothing to see here! Everything's just fine and dandy.
