∞ 44: Another meeting [written/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Filtered to the council and Golbez
[written]

I would like to call a meeting in the very near future. We have much to talk about -- the tunnels, the desert, the fort, the ruins. In addition, we have the matter of a destructive new resident who had to be forcefully neutralized; Sir Golbez, another newcomer, can report on the matter.

Your thoughts on meeting soon, everyone. Mark is unfortunately absent due to our captors.

[Albert is finally heeding his body's need for nourishment, going out to shop for groceries. He has a lot on his mind -- but really, when does he not?]

What did you just say?!

[manicalpha.livejournal.com]

Maybe so, but babe I'm not the one you have to take the terms of your imprisonment up with.

Very well.

[He grabs Caesar and roughly turns him around.]

I don't know. I don't know what to do with you.

[todisgrace.livejournal.com]

Like you ever did.

[He lowers his eyes, as he takes Albert's hand at his shoulder by the wrist. It's too thin for a man Albert's size.] ...You need to eat, Albert.

[chikaidestroyer]

[His arm is tense, and he finds himself curling his hand into a fist anyway. This feels ... too real to just be a figment of his imagination. This is just cruel, Malnosso.] Now you're going to be some form of conscience?

[Caesar looks up, his expression unreadable.] I feel like Caesar Silverberg, Albert.

[chikaidestroyer]

[He stares through Caesar for a second, then pulls away from the smaller redhead's grip.]

...I'm going to get my groceries.

[chikaidestroyer]

I said, no.

Do you realize what you could be hindering if you don't call a meeting at this very moment?!!!

Yes.

Your sleep.

[meowzy-chan.livejournal.com]

Nah, this never gets old.

Listen, Albert, I have a question. Can I join the council too?

[Filtered]

[wise_maiden]

[Oh look, normal writing.]

...

... What? But I just woke up a little while ago. I can't sleep all the time.

Mark was taken by the Malnosso? Dammit...

I think we should have that meeting as soon as possible.

[todisgrace.livejournal.com]

Good idea. Lead the way.

[chikaidestroyer]

Are you finished treating all of the victims?

[Filtered]

[wise_maiden]

... Not yet. I need to track down the others. Hopefully without certain people catching on...

[chikaidestroyer]

[His wings twitch warily as he continues walking, crossing the plaza with the sinkhole now in the center. The grocery store is unmanned and filled with various different foods, some preserved and others surprisingly fresh considering the weather.

He wonders if this ... impersonator? figment of his imagination? other Caesar? ... will try do anything. He certainly doesn't act like his brother.]

[There is a woman here, looking around. She might seem familiar to you, Albert -- after all, it is Raine. A Raine whose fail levels far over reach the one he's familiar with. She's looking at the buildings, and seems quite bewildered by all of this. And is speaking in a rather soft voice]

-- No, this isn't the Clinic... it doesn't even seem to be the town, for that matter.

...I'm not even going to ask how you know my name.

The answer is no.

Then track down these patients, heal them, rest, and then worry about those ruins.

[chikaidestroyer]

Very well. I've heard from everyone available now.

Vyse, I would like to invite you to bring your second-in-command to the meeting, since Yuri will be bringing in his leader.

Why not? I'm really smart! I go to laboratory school, you know.
