[ The post opens with the sound of Ariadne's device being dropped on the ground -- a loud, metallic clatter followed by a definitive scrape. She's running maybe, that's the only explanation for the rhythmic beat to her breath which is shallow and hurried and occasionally undercut by a muttered: ] --come on, come on, come on.

[ So there Hibari was, having a gd nap. AND THEN HIS "My architect is in deep supernatural trouble of the bovine variety" ALARM RANG. It's a very reliable system. Alternatively, bro just checked the network, then promptly decided to enunciate Homicide for Dummies very. Very. Slowly. ]

Hit the floor. Take a stake to its eye.

[ Later. Much later. Much later, in fact, that Ariadne's other replies because what precisely does a fully-functional human being say to something like that. Eventually the best she can come up with is: ]

Was that a pun?

[ Stake. Steak. Whatever, it's audio. ]

Is this the architect weak, or unwilling?

audio proportioned May 6 2011, 00:33:35 UTC

The architect isn't weak.

audio renegare May 6 2011, 00:37:18 UTC

The architect will make a stake.

Pretty sure a stake wouldn't have helped in this situation, Hibari.

[ incredulously, because this has been tried and tested - ]

Against an open eye.

[ Equally incredulous. Because that just sounds like crazy talk. ]

You know that for a fact.

[ slight chuckle; not even bothering to confirm the obvious. ]

A herbivore will wait until it's an eye for an eye.

[ But I need your eyes goes with that pause. ]

Herbivores die. Next time, you will take its eye out.

[ Okay, easily the strangest conversation Ariadne's ever had. ]

With a stake.

[ a little bit of confusion might just be seeping through ]

A knife. A cleaver.

[ Ariadne winces on her side of the line. ]

You realize I'd have to be able to reach its eye first.

[ And she is the size of a small child. ]

audio renegare May 6 2011, 01:40:47 UTC

[ impatiently by now; teaching children how to kill. ]

You hit the ground first. It leans.

audio proportioned May 6 2011, 01:54:48 UTC

[ A pause. A long one. Arguing the specifics with Hibari wouldn't help anyone and Ariadne knows, somewhere beneath all of his talk, there is a kernel of sense. ]

I'll learn.

[ How to defend myself. ]

audio renegare May 6 2011, 02:20:39 UTC

You are too old.

audio proportioned May 6 2011, 02:24:31 UTC

No such thing.
