Did anyone else hear the radio last night?

It's a little pitiful when you think about it.

[doudemoe]

Why do you say that?

[Not said in an accusing way, but genuinely curious why you think that, Akinari-sensei.]

[in_laquetti]

"A world where nothing can hurt me anymore". Has such a thing ever been possible to create?

[doudemoe]

Hmmm. It's possible...though I suppose it depends by the definition of "world".

[answerer_sword]

I have. It was disconcerting, but I do not believe it to be dangerous as of yet.

[doudemoe]

Me neither. But we should take caution for now.

[answerer_sword]

Indeed. It seems that every peaceful period but heralds something worse to come.

Have you been able to glean anything from the broadcast, Arisato?

[doudemoe]

Not much. I only understood the latter parts. Everything else was too fuzzy.

[devilwithananny]

It was a lament.

[doudemoe]

It did sound very sad.

[devilwithananny]

I feel bad for them. Maybe our captor really is a child.

[No he doesn't, nor does he really care if their captor really is a child or not. Their cry last night showed a sign of weakness, and Lucifer is a predator. Weakness, to him, simply shows something he can abuse, if he can figure out a way to.]

A world without pain is no world at all.

[doudemoe]

Hnn. [He wonders if maybe you should meet Ken? Both of you are very mature for your ages.]

Ignoring pain doesn't make the cause go away.

[Phone]

[fineinthefire]

Yeah.

[A pause.]

Could you understand what that voice was saying?

[Phone]

[doudemoe]

Kind of. Some parts were indecipherable.

[Phone]

[fineinthefire]

Enlighten me.

[worstvikingever]

Uh... no... I'm almost kind of afraid to ask. Was it bad?

[doudemoe]

I'm not sure yet. But, it could be another clue.

[worstvikingever]

Right. Well, if you can get anything out of it, let me know, I guess.

[doudemoe]

Okay.

Happy New Year, Hiccup-san.
