[someone's on the quiet side] Erik. Call me back when you can, okay?

call;

[makes_asteroids]

[Erik's panting a bit, like he was running.]

Czeslaw? What's wrong?

call;

[tiny_schemer]

I haven't heard your voice in awhile. I wanted to.

Re: call;

[makes_asteroids]

[He's still breathing hard, and takes a swig of water.]

Ah. It has been a while. You haven't seen the building since we finished most of it.

call;

[tiny_schemer]

No. I've been a little busy looking for someone.

Is it filled with lots of lively people now?

Re: call;

[makes_asteroids]

Is someone missing? Have you found them?

[A heavy sigh.] No. In fact two people just disappeared.

call;

[tiny_schemer]

Another immortal. A woman by the name of Shijima. She looked like a young girl and had white hair.

I haven't found her. I believe she's probably disappeared. That, and that awful thing that happened to Kenzo... [his voice takes on that unwittingly childish tone] I just wanted to make sure you were okay.

Re: call;

[makes_asteroids]

Ah. I'm sorry.

I'm...I put my fist through a wall in a few places but I'm fine otherwise.

call;

[tiny_schemer]

--It doesn't matter. It's not like we were close or anything. It was just nice knowing I wasn't alone.

...Well, as long as you didn't break anything. I'm sorry your friends are gone. I know how much they mean to you.

Re: call;

[makes_asteroids]

I know.

Nothing I couldn't afford to break, anyway. Remy...wasn't a friend really. He didn't trust me, didn't like me, and given some history between myself and a girl...I don't see that changing. But he was useful and we needed his skills. Douglas...he...I am Jairus; he, my child.

call;

[tiny_schemer]

There's always some history with you and a girl.

--Is there anything I can do? It seems you're always grieving something and I don't know how that feels, the only person I ever loved lives on inside of me. [And Czeslaw hates him.]

I don't know what to say, what to offer. You always carry it so close to you and I hate to see you in pain.

Re: call;

[makes_asteroids]

There is. Pretty much why I stopped dating.

I have millions to morn Czes. [And that's not hyperbole either.] There's a reason I wear red.

[He laughs, it's a bit bitter.] I never really did know when to let things go. I was twelve when I killed someone. Did I ever tell you?

Re: call;

[tiny_schemer]

[sarcasm] Is that so? And here I was going to ask if you'd take me to prom.

No, you didn't tell me, but I don't particularly care. So what? I'm sure you did what you had to. It was hard on you but you're a lot older than twelve now, you can make a better judgment call. Probably.

Re: call;

[makes_asteroids]

You're not a girl.

No I didn't have to. [He pauses, and there's a clatter - almost like someone skipping stones off pavement.] I wanted to. Bastard broke my arm. Payback was fun. [Yeah...clearly that temper hasn't tamed any.] My family ate for three months after that.

Re: call;

[tiny_schemer]

I thought that kind of thing didn't matter to you. [snort]

...Then you did the right thing. Not sure why it should bother you at all. People die all the time. It might as well be someone who deserves it.

Re: call;

[makes_asteroids]

It doesn't.

It doesn't. Probably should but. [Another clatter.] He's part of the reason I started carrying a knife.
