Oh, happy! A new chapter. You know, I've been formulating reasons for my instinctive distrust of Micah, and I'd like to see what he says to this: If Eszett saw Schwarz needing help, they should have sent a telekinetic (which Schwarz was ostensibly lacking) for defensive and archaeological purposes, or another powerful talent. Instead, they sent someone who can't be read, who is almost designed to gain the confidence of Schwarz's leader, and who has the teaching credentials to pull them back into line if need be. What could a person like that possibly be best suited for?
...and now Crawford will see the effects of Schuldig's worry as burnout, which way lies mutual over-protection and upgraded crankiness, leaving them more vulnerable to attack. *cuddles them both from the safe vantage of 120 years and millions of miles* Things couldn't be working better for Micahthe unrevealed local force to be booed by the readers if he'd planted that vision himself. ~ s b
Micah is shocked. Shocked and appalled! See his innocent, open face? See his happiness in finding his childhood friend and discovering that friend is his brother? See his Victorian unease with finding his brother has a boyfriend? It's true he has had little thought of querying their masters in the past, but Bradley's vision of freedom and a good life for all of them is one he finds pleasureable and worth striving for.
Upgraded crankiness is something that all of Schwarz should fear. When Schuldig throws a wobbly, everyone throws a wobbly. Especially when there's a little empath around to act as an amplifier.
But Micah will do his best to keep everyone with their eyes on the prize.
I am unconvinced. See my scepticism? See my distrust of anything sent out of Eszett's generosity? See my efforts to not think about the visions of doom? See how Schwarz has a happy, innocent Brad-admirer already? Ha! Suspicious and redundant!
I would not want to be around when Nagi throws a wobbly. Which would happen anyway if something happened to Crawford or Schuldig, let alone both of them. I forsee earthquakes. Large, flying buildings. Little puddles of goo, like a giant's version of the Splat! boardgame.

Unh-huh. So that he can sneak around where they're not looking. ~ s b

Hee! All the roles are filled! The Hero (Crawford: I quite agree), the Sidekick (Schuldig: What? How come I'm the sidekick? I'm not a sidekick!), the Psycho (Farfarello: . . . I can't argue with that, actually) and the Kid (Nagi: Is it all right with everyone if I moon over Brad for a while and then insist on getting into bed with him and Schuldig in an innocent and platonic manner?) Micah'll just have to carve his own niche.
If Nagi throws a wobbly things would get very interesting indeed. All that delayed puberty has to go somewhere.

Hee! I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that :-)
Now, it always makes me suspicious when you use verbs like 'carve' in conjunction with assassins. It's like people giving directions: '...and go straight until you hit First street, go left once you run into Willow Drive...' Not reassuring , all those percussive verbs.

Eep! Victorian puberty...something else to live in terror of.
*cackles evilly* At last, revenge for implanting the image of Schudig in riglets (and curlers!) into my brain. ~ s b
I am also unconvinced. See me still wanting Micah to get et by a dov. *scowls*
Clearly he is still trying to separate his brother and his boyfriendclose friend Schuldig. Else why not point out that Nagi might be under the same risk, as he is a telekinetic?
And I am sure Schuldig is still quite attractive with a beard, although of course he should be provided with unlimited supplies of hot water and someone to shave him as soon as possible.
Micah doesn't want to be et! He's sure he shouldn't enjoy it at all.
He doesn't want to separate Crawford and Schuldig so much as well . . . maybe he does want to separate them. But only because it's unnatural vice that they're up to! Anyway, Nagi's just a little boy. He probably has several good years left in him.
Schuldig: Hot water! Oh, yes. My face isn't properly visible! This is a tragedy for the whole world! And it feels sort of odd when Brad, um, embraces me in a manly fashion.
...and now Crawford will see the effects of Schuldig's worry as burnout, which way lies mutual over-protection and upgraded crankiness, leaving them more vulnerable to attack. *cuddles them both from the safe vantage of 120 years and millions of miles* Things couldn't be working better for Micahthe unrevealed local force to be booed by the readers if he'd planted that vision himself.

How DARE he be so callous about Nagi! That might be worse than trying to come between Schuldig and Crawford. I am undecided.
