What a truly unlikeable pair they are, putting little shuttlecocks and pebbles in my show. Nonetheless, it seems we're ready to begin.

Charley.

[cherryblest]

Yes?

[holysiscon]

We need to use the machine to talk to them before the blood finishes spreading?

[cherryblest]

So it would seem. It might still work when the glass is completely stained, but I'd rather chance it now and get the last of the answers we need while we can be sure of their safety.

[holysiscon]

Let me do it.

[cherryblest]

...I didn't chastise Radu because his body regenerates. Why do you volunteer? Will you be able to recover your hand?

[holysiscon]

*hand over his chest, thinking for a moment*

...I don't feel pain, and losing this body isn't a big deal. I can get it back later, yes.

[cherryblest]

There is worth in even an ounce of flesh.

That said, my hands are mechanical. Pain isn't a problem there, hence why I volunteered. I worry I might have need of their use later. But I did break the rule.

[holysiscon]

Flynn says he's a healer. I don't think he can heal metal and wires.

[cherryblest]

The sight of torn metal and wires does far less to discourage group morale than that of ruined flesh. And my hand can be replaced. I wouldn't ask this of you.

[holysiscon]

Your guilt complex doesn't impress me. I'm an inorganic being--this isn't real flesh. It won't act like real flesh. Like I said, my whole body is replaceable--I'm the logical choice if we need to sacrifice bodyparts.

[cherryblest]

I don't speak with guilt, but responsibility. And I assure you with equal confidence that whatever disposability complexes you and Asch share, I'm not willing to entertain them. Who's your partner?

[holysiscon]

*eyeroll*

Genis. He knows exactly what I am, too.

[cherryblest]

Would he approve?

[holysiscon]

He's killed me before! Of course he would.

[cherryblest]

In which case I fear his unholy homicidal wrath should either Monsieur or myself deprive him of the pleasure once more.
