So.

You might have noticed I was missing during that whole murder spree You-KAI was on and if not I don't blame you because I'd be weirded out if you actually tracked down my movements.

But anyway. I was killed, my body was not found, and now I need to drink blood. Truly a Unit tradition, really.

Any volunteers for, you know. The near future?

[Scoffs a laugh! Whatever he expected, it wasn't this. Although maybe he should have. Unit tradition, indeed.]

Why, offers not Mr Emet-Selch?

[Facts about vampires that Mr Zero has taught Black: your SO's blood tastes the best.]

[time5kip]

Of course he's offered but I'm not actually attached to his hip 24/7 Black. I need to have backups for when we're in games.

[untiltheend]

For such short amounts of time, truly?

[What is it with people and needing to eat as soon as they're even just a little peckish.]

[untiltheend]

[He shrugs, though, and follows up with:]

Well, were I to volunteer such a thing to anyone it would be within the Unit. ["Sure, I volunteer". So kind, be proud of him.]

[time5kip]

Games can occasionally alter our perception of time or keep us locked for a while. I'd rather not find out what happens if I don't eat.

But I'll count that as an agreement.

[untiltheend]

[Hmmm.]

Personally I would find something like that interesting to explore [it it were himself, he means. no pressing need to find out what happens if Mr Valour were to starve], but I understand also that I am in the minority when it comes to that.

[He nods.] Please do. Not at the expense of myself, naturally, but otherwise I do not mind.

[time5kip]

Normally I'd actually agree with you. Testing it out is the logically sound solution to be able to properly prepare for that eventuality.

But I do have other complications that make me not want to risk it, so. I'm not going to.

[untiltheend]

And are those "other complications" something we should all be aware of, if we are not already? Seeing as that seems to be the theme of this gathering.

[time5kip]

[ man now that he mentions it it does seem like a thing he should have told taisho like a while ago ]

Well I'm constantly fighting with the urge to kill basically anyone and everyone. That's not a corruption I had it before coming here.

But it's under control.

[untiltheend]

[P-pfft.]

[Bursts out laughing, sorry.]

[time5kip]

Always glad to count on your emotional support Black.

[untiltheend]

[breATHES--]

You must admit it is incredibly amusing, considering your appearance...

Why, but here hardly anyone will bat an eye were you to murder indiscriminately.

[time5kip]

I'm not a member of SensitIV, I'd actually have to face consequences if I murdered someone.

[untiltheend]

You and I have most differing experiences when it comes to consequences of one's actions here, it seems.

[Well, anyway...]

Either way, if those are your natural inclinations I must congratulate you on your profession back in your original world. How satisfying it must have been.

[time5kip]

It wasn't and they're not my natural inclinations, all right? The commission messed me up.

[untiltheend]

Ahh, that is what one calls an occupational hazard, no? I do believe they say all manners of work affects the worker eventually. How unfortunate [for Mr Valour personally], then.

[time5kip]

Like I said.

It's under control.

[untiltheend]

As you say.

[And the thing is, he trusts Mr Valour's judgement (to the extent he trusts anyone) enough to take his word for it.]

Now, when I brought it up with Mr Zero it seemed I caused offense, but... there is a dinner planned with miss Kaguya as the guest of honour, as you are no doubt aware. Would it be offensive to serve you blood rather than wine?

[gravitydefier]

(to Five)

How often?


[and probably, idk, sometime after, or before, or whenever, Five's vampire announcement happens, whoever else on Taisho can find Sakura either practicing with his polearm in the garden, or he's sitting in the sakura tree reading a book and occasionally scowling down at it.]

[time5kip]

As often as I normally eat meals, apparently. I can still eat regular food but it's not as filling.

[gravitydefier]

I see. Are there other...restrictions?

[time5kip]

Not that I've noticed, no. Though Black reminds me I should also warn you that I am generally pushing down murderous urges.

[gravitydefier]

...I see. [hm.]

[time5kip]

I have them under control.

[gravitydefier]

Noted. [considering.] ...I'm not mortal. Would that...affect my blood?

[auguryofinnocence]

[book!]

...What's with the face?

[gravitydefier]

[kind of does the tongue-clicking thing] This book is still...unhelpful.

[edensresurrection]

[ Book! ]

The way you're looking at that book gives the impression it has somehow wronged you.

[gravitydefier]

It remains unhelpful.

[edensresurrection]

What are you hoping it might tell you?

[gravitydefier]

It was in one of my memories.

[edensresurrection]

So you were hoping to glean more information regarding your personal history?

[gravitydefier]

Or why I was so dismissive of it. [in the memory.]

[edensresurrection]

But nothing is forthcoming.... I can understand now how the book has wronged you.

[gravitydefier]

[closes the book.] Tch. I don't know why I thought it would be any different.

[edensresurrection]

I can understand wanting to seek out every avenue, every angle that might possibly hold an answer... I don't believe it wrong to make the attempt.

[gravitydefier]

[takes a moment to think about what she said. kind of clicks his tongue.] ...experience?

[edensresurrection]

[ She nods slightly. ]

Not here, but back home... I couldn't remember anything about myself for a time and I was impatient to find answers. I would have done nearly anything for them.

[gravitydefier]

Did you find your answers?

[edensresurrection]

After a time, yes. Though things certainly became more complicated along the way.

[gravitydefier]

...I see.

[edensresurrection]

[ She gives a brief, flickering smile. ]

I'd explain but it's a long story.

[gravitydefier]

Whenever you have time.

Five

[bloodyrose]

[. . . . . .]

I don't even know what t—

[Scratch that.]

Are you feeling alright? Tradition, huh. . .

Re: Five

[time5kip]

Mostly.

I won't saying dying wasn't unpleasant and that I haven't got a few issues with what came afterward, but I'm here now and still breathing.

[bloodyrose]

Well. It’s good to have you back.

[time5kip]

Thank you. I'm glad to be back too, but I do guess that's obvious.

[bloodyrose]

. . . .

[he stalls, frowning a bit.]

I’m fine with helping you out, by the way.
