[It takes Schneizel a minute to realize that there is no table on his private plane to place the nonexistent wine glass, in his hands, on. In fact, there is no plane and he's quite safely standing on the ground, all but bemused with the current situation.]

Ah? Well I must have been so caught up in my thoughts, for I haven't even realized that we ( Read more... )

B-Brother?!

(1/2?) royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 00:11:52 UTC

...What?

2/2 royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 00:21:51 UTC

[Logic says dead people are supposed to be dead. This does not compute.]

What is Kanon putting in my wine? I'm seeing things.

justsopretty January 31 2009, 00:32:15 UTC

What? No, it's--

Don't you recognize me, Schneizel?

royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 00:35:46 UTC

Clovis? But that can't possibly be...

Where am I, then?

justsopretty January 31 2009, 00:41:51 UTC

[hesitantly sits down next to ... there is finally a friendly face from home]

Template. I really don't quite understand it myself. It brought me here at ... [clears throat, after everything and being with Lelouch here for a short time, does not want family fighting if his brother comes here again] ...

Wait, you ... you didn't die, did you, Brother? [tact, what is that?]

royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 00:52:22 UTC

[Sentimentality and shock aside, Schneizel's already weighing the possibilities. Geass? No, it can't raise the dead, and as far as Schneizel knew, Lelouch's Geass only had the power of command.

Still, he kept the threat of attack at the back of his mind. He would play along.]

Template? [...] I see. [His eyes narrow slightly, but the smile does not waver. This isn't a ruse?]

If I did, then this is definitely not how I pictured the afterlife, brother. Though, I do not mind being here with you.

justsopretty January 31 2009, 00:54:52 UTC

Ah, it's a city. [weak gestures] And it is horrible. It doesn't recognize me as a prince and -- [it's been really hard being considered just a commoner, baw]

I'm glad. Of course ... not everyone dies. It just kidnapped you. That's definitely what happened.

royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 01:55:35 UTC

Really? [Schneizel wouldn't care either way. But, he can sympathize with Clovis to some degree.] I'm sorry to hear it has been hard for you, Clovis. Still, your birthright can never be taken from you, even from a place such as this. You'll always be a prince, brother.

Ah, it does not matter. I was planning on an end, in one way or another. I just wish I was not taken before seeing it through. [He's keeping the details vague. There's no need to alarm his brother, yet.]

justsopretty January 31 2009, 01:59:04 UTC

That's what I tell them. Regardless of anything, we are still princes.

... an end? Maybe it was, for once, protecting someone from ... that.

royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 02:07:37 UTC

People have a way of not listening to reason. [That's when we bring in the nukes. :|]

Yes, the world has been eradicated of many corrupted powers. Unfortunately, to only be replaced with a more dangerous threat. [Sighs, and then notices something in his hand.] A key? I'm presuming Template has already found me housing. Indeed, this is a strange city.

justsopretty January 31 2009, 02:12:05 UTC

Well, we just can't let it get to us.

Corrupt powers? W-What has happened? [worried] I heard that Euphie ... Euphie had been killed. [maybe, Schneizel did not come from that world] Is that true?

Yes. It is ... polite like that.

royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 02:24:47 UTC

Of course. [Smiles.]

I can't hide to you the tragedies that have befallen our world, brother. Yes, Euphie had been killed and by...your own assassin as well. Just when she was trying to do good, to liberate people from oppression. [Shakes his head. He still regrets Euphie's death, especially the fact he had let such a thing happen.]

He has also killed Father, and took the throne. The royal family has been reduced to servants.

I planned to trap Lelouch on board my airship, and if should the worst befall me, we would both be annihilated. Except, I had not calculated this.

[He folds his hands under his chin as he thinks aloud.] I cannot help but think my own influence played a part in his schemes.

At least I won't sleep outside. As long as I am given a headquarters, I am well, though I expected more from such an abrupt arrival.

justsopretty January 31 2009, 02:30:11 UTC

[that's a bit more than he was told and having issues to take]

Oh.

Y-Yes.

royal_checkmate January 31 2009, 02:36:45 UTC

[Frowns, realizing he might have had said too much.]

I'm sorry, that must have been too much, Clovis. Let's not talk on it more, right now. We will have time later to discuss it.

How have you been here in, Template? I know it must've been difficult, but I heard that artists make good use of such times. Am I correct?

justsopretty January 31 2009, 02:42:37 UTC

... yes, Brother.

Y-Yes. I've painted new portraits. They're not so fuzzy anymore. The images of Nunnally and Lelouch. [hesistant in saying their names] I was able to paint them with a clearer image in mind...
