[A rare video feed from Kaneis comes on, partly because one of his roommates had to turn on the tablet. It becomes quickly apparently why- it seems his hands and locks of his hair are tangled up with strips of brightly colored leopard print duct tape. Someone attempted to do home repairs when they knew absolutely nothing about home repair. The background shows one giant hole in the wall about six inches in diameter, just to give you an idea. Allen is next to him, trying to get some of the duct tape off]

Okay okay- I'll ask! Just get me outta this stuff!

[He gives a huff and looks at the camera. He looks rather disgruntled]

Say, does anyone out there know where a person can get a couch? Ours kinda...got wrecked the other day and we can't fix it.

Oh and, stuff to seal up holes in the wall? That'd be good too.

Thanks in- [And then he YELLS "OW" as Allen his roommate pulls a piece out of his hair not so gently]

ALLEN! THAT WAS MY HAIR!

[Transmission end!]

[OH, DID HE FORGET TO MENTION THE OVERPOWERED BATSHIT ABUSIVE ALCOHOLIC WHO HALF-RAISED HIM sorry about that.

And no explanation appears to be forthcoming, because he's apparently forgotten Kaneis is in the same room, as he's too busy snapping at Cross and muttering expletives under his breath to look behind him.]

[IS EVERYTHING IN THIS MARRIAGE A LIE I WANT A DIVORCE]

[And he's noticing...the tunnel vision so he'll try speaking up...]

Hey I don't know what's going on...but is encouraging your weapon crazed master to come here such a good idea...?

[debtor]

[Whoops, too late, he just did.

He blinks, and looks back at Kaneis. Oh, right...]

Just keep away from him and you'll be fine.

[..................]

I'd love to but you told him to come here!!!

action;

[debtor]

So step outside for a bit! If he wants to come here, he'll come here no matter what I tell him!

[wilder]

Oh? And what warnings should I watch for to know he's coming in time to leave? Will the faucets start pouring blood and animals start panicking?

action; 1/3

[debtor]

There aren't any warnings...

[That would be TOO EASY.

But Allen isn't worried about Kaneis, Master has his mind set on using Allen as target practice—]

[SUDDENLY, THERE COMES A KNOCKING AT THE FRONT DOOR.

HI GUYS, IT'S TIMCANPY, DID YOU MISS ME? DID YOU HEAR, MASTER'S HERE!! OMIGAWD THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST WEEK EVER.]

[Allen goes sheet-white for the second time today.

But without a word, resigned to his fate, he gets up to answer the door. That was way too fast, Master wouldn't really...



...of course he'd send Tim.]

Ah.

1/2

[wilder]

[THE KNOCKING MAKES ZELOS NEARLY JUMP since it really HAD come with no warning. But he relaxes when he sees it's Tim]

[wilder]

[At least until...it sets in what Timpcanpy is there for. Allen's blood.]

[He gulps a little, feeling just a bit of pity for the boy]

Want me...to say any prayers for you?

[debtor]

[So kind of you, Kaneis.]

Haa. No, don't bother. [Prayers can't help him. God's the asshole who armed Cross in the first place.]

I'll... see you later, maybe.

[He shouldn't have hung up like that, what a dumb move...]

[wilder]

Uh...yeah.

Good luck, man.

[He is never going to see that boy again]

[debtor]

Yeah.

Bye.

[AND HE'S GONE. Enjoy your new-found bachelorhood.]
