[firstroar]

Kaworu Nagisa.
He played the piano several times on this network. In speaking to him, he is the sort one would have difficulty forgetting.


He left this city of his own volition, intending to return "soon."
When was the last time anyone had been contact with him?

voice;

[terrot]

[ she has absolutely no idea what that name's supposed to be. thanks tts. ]

I don't think I was ever given the chance to meet him. Who is he?

[firstroar]

[for you, voice:]

A friend. An extraordinary person I've come to know in this world. Very different from those I've met before.

[terrot]

[ she shuffles her cards in the background. ]

His disappearance must be unsettling. What lies beyond the city that he may have explored?

[firstroar]

There's uninhabited wilderness stretching out the length of this island...but I have not sensed his presence there. But across the ocean, perhaps...

[terrot]

And what waits across the ocean, other than our enemy?

[firstroar]

Things I do not know. Things I haven't seen. I'll need to stretch out my mind further than before to find them...find him.

[terrot]

I don't know what I'll be looking for, but I can do all that's in my power to help.

[firstroar]

[a slight delay.]

I...know you would. Your encouragement does much good for me as it is. [but...come on...]

[terrot]

It's more than just encouragement I mean to offer.

[firstroar]

[slightly longer delay.]

What do you mean, then? [bc if you've been at the shooting range without me knowing...]

[terrot]

You need help in finding, to stretch your mind out further. That is something in my power to help.

[firstroar]

[...]

Let me come to you. I'm not far away.

[terrot]

Blue. You know my door is never shut to you.

[firstroar]

[this is now an action thing, with Blue making a bee-line to whichever place Physis is staying at currently, calling for her prior-to:]

Physis.

[terrot]

[ she comes to the door quickly, trying to offer him a smile. feeling as though that's what he needs most right now. ]

Are you alright? [ she doesn't need to ask it, but it's more of a courtesy. she knows he must be troubled. ]

[firstroar]

[he enters, but doesn't say yes aloud; the dubious affirmative is there in the atmosphere. there's a nagging uncertainty – an anxiousness to know something he's very sure he's not aware of.

he doesn't wait long to settle in, turning toward her.]

Will you show me? What you seek to do.

[terrot]

[ her cards are already in her hands, already shuffling. ]

I will do as I always have, the same role I have served you with for all these long years. [ and she starts dealing her cards on the table, in her familiar diamond pattern. ] I will be your guide.

[firstroar]

[he hesitates at length before drawing to the other side of the table. this...can't be right. can it?

but...

this whole place, the whole situation. it's all based on time. so that means...]

[terrot]

[ there's something unsettling in his silence. he seems genuinely surprised, and she can't imagine why. small reminders of unspoken fears after her encounter with keith, things exsilium had put out of her mind. but blue's apprehension seems to almost tell the story itself. ]

Is something wrong?

[firstroar]

[his eyes lift from the cards at that, watching her, aware and faintly guilty for the concern he detects.]

...What do you remember last? Before you came to be in this world.

[terrot]

[ if she wasn't worried before, she is now. with that one question, it all comes flooding back to the forefront of her mind. maybe those doubts hadn't gotten out, blue will already know them, and now he'll be worried. ]

I was coming to see you, after you awoke. After... [ she let the devil himself escape. ]

[firstroar]

I understand.

[it answers the question quickly enough. it's...strange, but. almost kind of nice, in some bittersweet way. she's still much the woman the both of them shaped – a piece of his own power carried with her still.

in his own mind, it's comforting. he smiles faintly.]

It's alright. Continue.

[terrot]

That's it. I arrived here before I could reach my chamber.

[ she doesn't want to say the rest, she's scared of it. scared of having to revisit the darker visions. of seeing naska ripped asunder, the mu helpless to save themselves, and blue... she doesn't want to think about not having him by her side any longer. ]

[firstroar]

[his brow pinches with empathy, smile tugging weakly on one side. he reaches across the table for her hand, wishing to reassure you.]

Then that's it. [and that's fine. it's not her fault. there's still questions drifting in the back of his mind – Keith, her connection to that man – but he greatly dislikes seeing her troubled.]

Forgive me for asking, for making you reflect on that memory. We can leave it as simply that, and it's enough.

[terrot]

I'm sorry. For... [ not being brave enough to tell the whole truth, for dooming them all, for not hating keith as she should. ] ...not making it clear earlier.
