Disregard that, I suck cocks

[Mukuro's currently in hiding at 749 Partridge Drive with his "friend" Dino and he doesn't like the way things are looking. Hazmats aren't looking very friendly to the neighbours, though secretly, he admires their speed at murder. Though he has tangled with them once before, he knows enough to keep his distance, their power is unusual enough to

[Why does she disclose her location to Mukuro? Well, after:

A) Watching Jecht die protecting her from the hazmats.
B) Listening over the telephone for information as friend after friend of hers is killed.
C) Ultimately getting butchered to death last evening while she waited for Zidane to come to her the way he promised he would.

She really isn't in any state to feel any fear towards him anymore. She's having trouble feeling anything, actually.] I'm at home...

...What's left of it, anyway.

[rogue_pineapple]

How do you mean? Was there an unfortunate accident?

Or... the strange men?

[thelittlecanary]

They came last night...broke down the front door with axes. I ran to my room, and they killed me there. They must have burnt it after I was dead. [Her tone is uncharacteristically flat, and she sounds ever so weary.]

It smells terrible.

[rogue_pineapple]

They didn't even ask you any questions?

My, how they lack finesse.

Don't cry

[thelittlecanary]

...I won't. [She got that done yesterday, before she was killed. Right now, she doesn't feel like she has any tears left, or that she would cry if she did.]

[rogue_pineapple]

No explanation is the worst. At least you understood why I murdered you.

[thelittlecanary]

[Is this sympathy she hears? She's too in shock to make heads or tails of it.] ...I can smell burning flesh. [It could be hers, or Ukraine's; real, or imagined. Garnet doesn't know if her "mother" survived, and she has not left her room in an attempt to find her.] I don't want to be here anymore.

[rogue_pineapple]

I will come get you. We'll be safe in Dino's house.

[thelittlecanary]

...We're not safe anywhere anymore. We never were.

[rogue_pineapple]

You will be safe with me. What do you have to fear from me?

[thelittlecanary]

Those men... [Though she hesitates to call them that now.]

[rogue_pineapple]

I know. I saw them murder a puppy and some children.

[thelittlecanary]

Bahamut managed to destroy a few, but they burst into clouds of smog that burned everything they touched. I had to dismiss him; it was melting his scales down to the bone.

...Please be careful.

[rogue_pineapple]

I will be just fine.

[hangs up, but never eventually makes it to her house]
