Earlier this afternoon, there was an incident in the Scavengers' Yard. Toushi, Koi and I-

We [A few more small scribbles]

Koi is dead.

[ Not nearly as tactful or as sad as Bastet-- even though she's anything but happy to hear something like this happened. Koi has always been nice when they've spoken, and always gave her useful information. ]

How did it happen?

[pimpcoatbankai]

We got ambushed. Some fucker lured us down there and

[There's a long, long pause.]

I messed up. That bastard killed him.

[sting_to_death]

[ There's a long pause on this end too. ]

If this person was strong enough to kill Koi you wouldn't have been much help, anyway.

[pimpcoatbankai]

I wasn't a damn bit of help. I screwed up. I let that bastard get to me, I let Koi down and now he's dead because I wasn't strong enough.

[sting_to_death]

[ Traces circles around all the 'I' in his sentence. ]

He's dead. This isn't about you. There are more important things to be thinking about now.

[pimpcoatbankai]

I know!

[Except it is. It is about him. If that creep from the CPA hadn't been trying to go after him, Koi wouldn't be dead right now.]

Do you know anyone called Orca?

[sting_to_death]

Is it the person who killed him?

[pimpcoatbankai]

No. But it's someone he mentioned.

[sting_to_death]

I don't know anyone with that name.

[pimpcoatbankai]

Thanks Lin.

If you ever come across someone with that name, can you let me know? Please.

[sting_to_death]

No need to ask.

[pimpcoatbankai]

Thanks.

[After this, he goes back and blacks out any mention of Orca, making it unreadable.]

[crimsonmischief]

I'm about to open a carton of ice cream, if you'd like to join me.

[And if you don't, Toushi, he'll just come track you down.]

[pimpcoatbankai]

I don't feel like eating anything right now.

Thanks though.

[crimsonmischief]

Then you can watch me eat~!

[He'd offer tea, but, well...]

Or else I'll have to come kidnap you, and that's so much work.

[pimpcoatbankai]

I'm not going anywhere tonight.
