12th illusion ||Rokudo Mukuro|| [video/in person]

[The feed comes on to Mukuro sitting idly at the kitchen table, enjoying a small cup of coffee. He's looking a bit thinner to those that knew him before... two years in a pickle jar will do that. Per usual he's masking his irritation of being back in this place quite well. It figures that he would be freed from one prison only to be transported to

You were allowed to return to your world? Why is that?

[Oh sweet Jesus what is that? Well, he's not about to break his polite facade for this... humanoid... fish thing? Or perhaps it's a toad?]

I was hoping to try to figure that out myself once I got some answers.

[After the initial wave of disgust, he begins to find this creature rather comical. Curiosity causes him to wonder if perhaps this thing could breath under water or even eat flies.]

I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met. You are...?

Hm.

[Confident smile and braid flip.]

You may call me Zarbon.

[...oh... oh don't do that... you'll make him burst out laughing acting like you're pretty]

Rokudo Mukuro, it's a pleasure. If I may, how long have you been here? I'm simply trying to get a gauge for how long I've been gone.

[Lenalee deliberates whether or not she should respond for a minute, feeling a pang of shame at the very thought of contacting him. But it has to be done, if they are going to be trapped here together, and sooner is better than later. She already got to put it off long enough with him gone at home.]

I'm sorry, I don't know how long you were gone. And, also-- I wanted to apologize for my behavior then as well.

[She winces, hating to think about the monster she had become and the things she did during that time. An apology does not seem sufficient, even if he had been the one on a murderous rampage at the time. Lenalee still remembers what an innocent and broken child he was.]

I... wasn't myself either.

[Oh this young woman again! The one he had played the little "naming game" with... what did she try to name him? Alfonso? he's judging you for that]

Oh, it's perfectly fine my dear, were it not for you I probably would have done quite a bit more damage. In all honesty I'm sorry you had to see me like that. It's a rather... repulsive state if I do say so myself. Also I'm sure my deranged state as a child wasn't exactly a pleasant encounter.

[he's still not a pleasant encounter... but you don't need to know that...]

If memory serves me right, your name is Lenalee?

[His instant acceptance of her apology makes the whole resolution feel alarmingly easy. Lenalee isn't quite sure how to react-- of course she is glad, but, after the things that they had both done... an apology does not feel sufficient.]

[Still, if he is willing to leave it at that, Lenalee is willing to accept it.]

It's fine-- we weren't in control of ourselves. If there's anyone to blame, it's the Author.

[Scowling a little. And oh how Lenalee does blame the Author for the unnecessary hardships everyone trapped here have been forced to go through. All in the name of entertainment.]

Yes. Ah... I don't think that I ever learned your true name?

[Assuming that this adult version has one, beyond Timothy Suman. It doesn't quite seem to fit, anymore.]

[He merely tucks his hair behind his ear, very comfortable with he conversation]

Ah yes, I completely forgot about that! I am Rokudo Mukuro, it's a pleasure.

[He bows his head slightly in a polite gesture.She probably understood the pun off his name- Roku being 69 in old Japanese]

As near as I can tell, you can't have been gone for longer than a day or two.

As for the ah ... incidents, I'm not prone to holding things against people that stem more from the interference of the Manor's whims than anything.

[ah, Saguru, always such a pleasure to talk with you.]

You are too kind, my friend. Still, I must thank you for watching over me as a child. It was quite a dangerous move, I had little control over my powers at that point and was... unstable to say the least. I apologize for not explaining the situation to you in full during that... convention, though I'm sure you can understand why.

[Video]

[im_in_ur_exit]

You were a child - I wasn't about to leave you alone like that, particularly not with what had been explained and what I'd managed to piece together. [And he's ... getting a little used to dealing with unstable people.] As for explanations, as much I prefer to not be kept in the dark, I don't expect people to share all their uncomfortable life stories at the drop of a hat.

A good man you are.

[He looks around and switches the feed to private]

You probably have some questions as to the powers I displayed. While I typically do not like broadcasting these abilities, if you have questions I would be more than willing to answer.

[Or answer what he felt was convenient...]
