Afterward

[tastes_of_honey]

::Schuldig is sitting on his couch, smoking and staring into space. The edges of bruises are visible on his skin here and there. Even his hair looks less lustrous. The belly of his frog ashtray is nearly full; strangled-looking butts are about to start dangling out the gaping mouth.::

((open for company))

Nagi's been "listening" for Schu on and off. Now that his mom's around, he pops over to the right area.

...that's not good.

"So, I sensed a disturbance in the Force a few days ago. What happened?"

[tastes_of_honey]

The Farfarello in my reality died. I didn't have enough time to get Brad and him out of a collapsing building. His corpse was.... We cremated it. I'm thinking of tossing his ashes into the Pope's face. I think he'd like that. ::Schuldig stubs out his cigarette.::

Maybe I'll go somewhere that would let me do it to John Paul. With Benedict, I expect him to start saying he's going to show us the full power of his fully armed and operational battle station.

"Oh." There's going to be snuggles now and hair petting.

"I can do some research on alternate worlds for you."

[tastes_of_honey]

::Schu will accept snuggles and hair petting.::

John Paul would be better anyway, since he was pope throughout Farf's lifetime. Thanks.

Yuuko sits down next to him quietly. She doesn't know what's wrong, but he looks crappy enough that she can guess.

"Hello."

((I had to reply to this, but I'll only be available again next Friday D: sorry!))

[tastes_of_honey]

Hey. I had a bad day, lost a part of myself. How's by you?

((We'll make do for now. *g*))

[dimension_bitch]

"...well, let's talk about you a bit more. Want to tell me what happened?" She sits down on the couch and moves his head into her lap.

::snuggles a bit and looks up at her:: My team was on a job, and the building exploded down on us. I managed to get myself and Brad out, but I didn't have time to save Farf. He's quite dead. The snapped mental link hurts like hell....

[traumkonig]

"You look like crap, Schuldig," Morpheus says bluntly. His mind carries undercurrents of something close to concern, though. He likes Schu, in his fucked-up way.

[tastes_of_honey]

Thanks. ::Schu hears that.::

A mission went bad. Farf's dead.

[traumkonig]

"You had a link."

Not really a question. Morpheus wasn't trained for team work, but his telepathic roommate was.

"Any idea who's responsible?"

[tastes_of_honey]

I had a link.

We're looking into who and why right now. Once we find out, we're gonna put a deep hurting on the perp.

Sena doesn't know much about Schu. He's Nagi's friend, and a friend of one of the many Ayas around, so Sena figures he can't be all bad.

But he looks like hell. Sena's concerned.

"...are you alright?" Stupid question, he's obviously not.

[tastes_of_honey]

Not really, but thanks for asking, Sena. I couldn't get every member of my team out of a collapsing building in time. One didn't make it.

[lifetimedestiny]

"I'm sorry," Sena says quietly. He can't help but think about Kyo at that, with a knife in his chest. What else can he say?

[tastes_of_honey]

I know you understand. Thanks. Now we're gonna find out who did this and make him pay.
