Thirty-fifth rebirth [Video]

[Yuca is smiling, humming a quaint little children's song to himself while he gently pulls the sewing needle through a shirt that can be recognized as the overlarge one that Rain had been wearing upon his arrival. It looks significantly smaller now, possibly even the correct size.]

So, I've been thinking, [he murmurs happily,] we should organize

[Doesn't like following limitations from anyone, even if he wouldn't otherwise mind them, but still...]

This Rain, or his future self? I'd have no interest in the child regardless, assuming he's normal. And the later case doesn't matter if he's not here.

In any case, I wouldn't bother telling anyone of his later connection to you.

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

[He actually has to think a little on that.]

This one. If his future self shows up again, we can discuss things- but for now, he's off-limits. I realize that you may not have interest in him now, but in the off-chance that anything develops, he's still not available for research.

And- thank you. I really do appreciate it, mister Kurotsuchi.

[Sighs, as if not going after someone he has no interest in is a terrible concession.]

As long as I can study you, and your research, I won't bother the boy. [Pauses.] But don't get yourself killed protecting him, if something does go after him.

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

I'll do my very best.

[Pause, contemplation.]

....I probably shouldn't be stirring things up like this, but I found something the other day that you might just enjoy.

[Private || Unhackable]

[law_of_reason]

Seriously, it's a pointless thing to die for.

...What is it?

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

Rhode- that girl that can control everyone's dreams. She has something strange in that house of hers. I'm not quite sure exactly what it is, but it's deadly.

[Private || Unhackable]

[law_of_reason]

How do you know it's deadly if you don't know what it is? What's strange about it?

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

It's a small object, round and sort of looking like an obsidian stone. When I picked it up, it felt.... strange. Alive, but with a dark force. I didn't like it, almost immediately. Rhode wants me to experiment with it and the angel serum, to try to create a hybrid of the two.

[Private || Unhackable]

[law_of_reason]

Hm, you don't have spiritual power, and if you could sense something from it-

Well, are you going to hybrid the two?

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

...that was what your... spiritual power feels like?

And- I'm not sure. I'm considering it, but- I have other obligations, too.

[Private || Unhackable]

[law_of_reason]

I've not felt that material in particular, so I wouldn't know. But it sounds like a similar experience.

Is there any reason not to? It could be interesting.

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

It could be, but- like I said, I have prior obligations. Rain- [He sighs. He doesn't expect Kurotsuchi to understand.]

-well. You know how emotional I get about him anyway. It's logical to assume that I'm going to be illogical and choose him over science. Though, if you like, I can try to pull a few strings and have Rhode introduce you to her little project.

[Private || Unhackable]

[law_of_reason]

Yes, I suppose I'll expect you to be unreliable now.

If it's a worthwhile project, I wouldn't mind that.

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

[He laughs.]

That's a good way to sum things up, I suppose.

And- I'll see what I can do. I still want to work with her and you, but it might be awhile before I can be secure about it.

[Private || Unhackable]

[law_of_reason]

Well, whenever. It's not as though I don't have my own projects.

[Private || Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

Oh, good luck with those too, mister Kurotsuchi!
