Fifty-fifth rebirth [Video]

[See Yuca.

Absolutely drenched, panicked, and alternating between trying to speak to the PCD and trying to gather up as many books as he can.

He's in the church, according to the background, and from the looks of things, the water level is rising.]

I know- I know everyone has their own tasks, and- and everyone is trying to help, but- [He shakes

Yuca! Get out of there-

I'll rebuild it, just get out!

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

You can't reconstruct this- it's not-

[He shakes his head, still a little panicked.]

I'll be fine, I'm staying away from the weak points-

[Video]

[bloodseal_soul]

I can fix the roof, I can fix books, but I can't fix you!

[Al's voice breaks, he's really panicking a little here.]

Get out!

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

It's fine!

[He grits his teeth.]

Why do you care so much anyway?

[It's church and Michael that ping her most. Rain doesn't bother her, but it was... definitely a problem everywhere else in the city.]

Is it just the books? [She would just.. pop in, but giving someone a heart attack on top of everything else seems a little mean.]

[neverquitedies]

The building-

[His voice is loud to be heard over the rain and the leaks in the roof, but it's still somehow soft with hurt.]

The water is going to rot the wood. Even after the storm-

[gotbackupagain]

It's not safe there. The books can be fixed, the church repaired. You need to get out of there or you'll be crushed.

[And just because she has this feeling he's one of those stubborn types, she flies herself to just outside the church. The water level is ridiculous already, but she doesn't seem all that bothered. Still over the PCD:]

We can deal with the wood once it's stopped raining.

[neverquitedies]

Yes, but- you can't just fix-

[Did she move? Yuca glances up, slowly working his way toward the entrance of the church.]

[notamageiswear]

No, don't-- You'll drown or get crushed or--!

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

Stop. I'm doing the best I can, Negi.

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

I know, but--

[Is that a hitch in his voice?]

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

But what?

[A little harsh. That's the stress talking.]

[Video]

[reflectivedawn]

[What is his life even.]

Do you need a place to keep them?

[Because that is all he can do.]

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

The- the roof is leaking. If you have a dry space, maybe...

[reflectivedawn]

[A deep sigh.]

If I can get to you, I might be able to buy you a bit more time.

[But his shields are only going to hold up for so long.]

[Video]

[neverquitedies]

Don't put yourself out. I'm sure I can... I can figure something else out.

[law_of_reason]

[Sometimes, he's still surprised at how irrational Yuca is.

Which doesn't keep him from asking-]

What do you need?

[Private | Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

Nothing, really.

Consider it an experiment.

[Private | Unhackable]

[law_of_reason]

[Minorly relieved. Now he doesn't have to leave bailing out his lab to Nemu alone.]

Oh? On what?

[Private | Unhackable]

[neverquitedies]

Angels.

They should be almost all-powerful, but Michael- the one who's supposed to be the strongest- has believed everything I told him so far. Every lie.

[He sighs.]

I want to see how much I can tangle them up in my poor little priest. The closer I get to them, the more I can study them.
