Break wasn't nearly as reluctant about the whole thing, and perhaps that was just another sign that he was going mad. He liked children-- so gullible, so malleable, so much fun to toy with. It'd be a lie to say he wouldn't do this, but he usually would feel more hesitation or remorse. As it stood now, he just felt anticipation. Every day he felt a little less grounded in reality, a bit less sane, a bit more isolated... a bit more free. He had given up almost entirely on labelling things as reality or fantasy and found that there was joy in the ambiguity of not knowing, and the idea that as a madman, he was no longer fully responsible for his actions. So he was going to cut a finger off a little boy, and it might further his position in the game, and it didn't matter if it was real or imagined because it would taste like victory either way ( ... )

Gale had found himself in the Observatory not long after his literal run-in with the tall man, having found the room distasteful soon after the encounter; he didn't want to remember that fight. He didn't like remembering how much he could still hurt, and knowing that it would only be all the easier to do so now. He should probably go get a weapon or something--March and Lilia had them, after all, and March, if an unfamiliar and potentially untrustworthy adult, at least seemed to have sensible ideas about these things ( ... )

Luffy nosed quietly at the door, looking back over his shoulder at Break and Watanuki. Watanuki had asked him to find the boy, and he had. Smelled like child and snow, with a faint lingering smell of dark places and bad things and Phantasams.

"Yeah. I can..." He took a deep breath, staring at the door. "What...what are you planing?" His voice didn't waver, though he had to swallow hard to get the words out. Past the lump in his throat, nerves or guilt or...possibly, and he didn't want to think about this, excitment, made it hard to speak and hard to think.

But Break had a plan, and Watanuki would listen, just as well as he could, eye half closed at he stared at the door and the fox.

Knowing, of course, what lay behind it.

"It's simple enough. Luffy and I will serve as a distraction, and since you're the proud owner of eyes and opposable thumbs, you ether him. Lock the door behind you and get as close as you can without being noticed, there's a good boy."

He ran his fingers over the door as he spoke, getting a bearing on where they were; that glass room that they'd come to earlier when Watanuki insisted on seeing the sun rise, with all the couches and the strange heat. A distraction ought to be easy enough, and Luffy had proved useful in the past... so the only particularly weak part of the plan here was Watanuki himself. Crazy or not, Break was still sharp, and he didn't miss the uneasiness in the boy's voice. Emily clattered to life on his shoulder, jolting and tilting her head to the side.

"Watanuki's nervous."
"Well of course he is, Emily. This is an important mission. It's only natural."
"He's not going to mess it up, is he?""I certainly hope not..." He paused, swooping in close to Watanuki, drawing himself up to his full height until he was face ( ... )

He nodded, accepting the plan. "Yes. it makes sense...I...yes."

Watanuki drew back automatically, eye widening in some sort of confused horror. "We won't get a second chance...I'll do it, you needn't worry about my nerves Break. I'll do it."

Luffy whined softly, ears backing. He didn't like the conversation, even if he understood that Watanuki was afraid. The room smell like boy and darkness, and he simply wanted to move forward, not wait. One paw brushed against the door.
