Huit (Video/Forward dated to Saturday morning)

[fractured_white]

*Hey, anybody remember that jerk that went on something of a rampage last week and then disappeared? Or just wondering what happened to that white haired troll that hasn't pestered anyone all week? Well, he's back now, and looking pleased with himself, if tired.*

Ahhh, the sweet reprieve of death is indeed rest for the soul. Yo, Nigredo, I hope I didn't miss anything important while I was out. Care to fill me in?

*After a moment of thought, he adds on.*

And a couple of you might be relieved to know that I'm a fair bit saner than the last time we spoke.

'Yo, Nigredo'...You're....You....[Congrats, you've made bbBro brain freeze for a minute.]

Where.
Are.
You. [Someone is a liiiiiiittle upset.]

*He'd find it amusing if he wasn't still shaken from the loss of Rubedo and their chat before he died. His expression falters for a second, then it's back to the pleased self assurance.*

On my way back to the hotel, little brother.

[He a mood calming breath]

Swing by my room if you're not too tired.

*He's fairly sure Nigredo isn't inviting him over for a friendly chat over tea, but there are still things that need to be said, unpleasant as they are.*

I'm on my way.

[namedforcat]

I'll be waiting.

[... He was going to put on video, but he's... not sure he can handle that right now.]

It's... good to have you back.

[Naoya chuckles. He can't resist this post. He does have the sense to filter it, though.]

It can be, yes.

[Voice]

[fractured_white]

*And there's one of the people he was referring to. He might have pressed the video issue, but he just doesn't feel up to trolling right now.*

It's good to be back in my right mind.

[fractured_white]

Familiar with Death's embrace, are you?

[Voice]

[amnesiadragon]

[There's a tiny smile in his voice.]

I know that feeling.

[Video] | [Private]

[crouching_sin]

Familiar, and yet not familiar enough.

[Voice]

[fractured_white]

*Likewise, the raised eyebrow is audible.*

Oh?

[fractured_white]

You speak almost as if you've been eluded by much desired oblivion.

[Voice]

[amnesiadragon]

['But you shouldn't bring up what I told you here, it will just make him upset.' Right. But he can tell him about... that.]

Just before I came here, I... lost control. I ended up killing a lot of Imperial soldiers... Nina just barely managed to calm me down.

[crouching_sin]

[The next chuckle? A little more unhinged.]

You have no idea. A long life is less... desirable... than people make it out to be.

[Voice]

[fractured_white]

Well well well...you hadn't struck me as the sort to have such blood staining your hands. Loss of control of one's mind is a terrifying thing, is it not?

[Video] | [Private]

[fractured_white]

You might be surprised. The burden of immortality weighs on us both, it seems.

[Voice]

[amnesiadragon]

It is. It's... I think I scared her. I never want to lose control like that again.

[Video] | [Private]

[crouching_sin]

It seems so. Though immortality of the body is not something I possess... the mind and soul are a different story.

[Hiding his face.]

Good to hear.

[Voice]

[fractured_white]

A lifetime of such is a fate far worse than death, wouldn't you agree?

*Maybe this is his way of explaining why he wanted to die.*

[Video] | [Private]

[fractured_white]

Even if the body should perish, survival of one's consciousness on the mortal plane is a cage nevertheless.

*More of one if you don't get your body back, it was frustrating to no end when he was stuck without a body after getting disintegrated.*

[Voice]

[amnesiadragon]

... Yeah. I guess so.

[It's still... painful.]

[Video] | [Private]

[crouching_sin]

A cage, and a curse. But one that should soon be broken in my world.

[fractured_white]

*No, he's not typing right now. Too much work, especially with his nails.*

Quite a surprise, wasn't it, to so abruptly see so near to my worst.
