Whatever it is, surely it can wait? [Sigh.] Fine. If it is truly so important, leave a message and I will get back to you.

[barebacking]

It is so unfortunate. It didn't help too much, even though I was able to find my brief release through the agony. [Sighs.] What should I do, Liquid?

[ysobritish]

[Beat.]

What happened, Yaha?

[He'd have offered to help, but he had no idea what Yaha was on about.]

[barebacking]

The bond between my pact partners and I is a viable one so long as they are alive. I gave one to your father to devour, and so I felt as though my very flesh and bone and blood was eaten vicariously.

It did help a little in calming my head, but only just a little. I thought that it would help much more than what it did, but at least I am still aching and burning with sweet pain to be able to do anything particularly terrible.

[ysobritish]

[His eyebrows shoot up at that, but frankly, if there's one thing that Liquid is good at, it's accepting craziness. He lived with FOXHOUND, for god's sake. This is a particularly disturbing level of creepy, but as a man who was used to living with a floating crazy man in bondage gear who could set him on fire with a thought? He's pretty used to it. The being eaten part is the only jarring part. Liquid is well aware of what sadism and masochism can extend to.]

...

So... in essence, Father ate you, but it didn't help enough?

[barebacking]

He didn't kill me.

[ysobritish]

[That's... a major relief.]

I'm glad.

[barebacking]

You're both so very sweet.

[ysobritish]

So what now?

IC.

[barebacking]

I am going to punish Kadaj when I am well enough to do so. I know you are fond of him and don't want you to be upset with me for it, so I'm telling you ahead of time, my merciless god.

[ysobritish]

...Yaha, why are you punishing Kadaj?

[barebacking]

He vexed me while I was healing. I told him to behave himself, but he kept on pushing.

[ysobritish]

[Sigh.]

Kadaj can take care of himself. Just don't kill him.

[Or break him entirely.]

[argentcruelty]

Don't waste your time.

[ysobritish]

I'm looking anyway. There is nothing you can do to stop me.

[argentcruelty]

He's not here.

[ysobritish]

Yazoo said he might have just cut off the connection. It's worth looking.

[argentcruelty]

He's back. Sephiroth.

[ysobritish]

...I know. [Liquid sounds a little spooked.] I didn't expect him to be so... casual.

[argentcruelty]

[Neither did Kadaj.] I can't sense him so well. I saw the post on the network before I realised...

[ysobritish]

Perhaps he's weakened. We have no way of knowing when or where he came from.
