∞ 45: A nightmare [voice/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

This is...

[There's the sound of a book being dropped, then papers being scattered.]

...I am not amused.

[He curses at something not visible on the journal's little visual screen.]

Get off me, you-- Rune!


[ooc: Since runic legendary creatures (that is, the Rune incarnates) seemed a little ... out of his league, Albert's now a rather infamous ... person from his world.]

So now you drop the pretense of this simply being an attempt to keep track of people during this experiment.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

While that is certainly the main focus at hand, considering the nature of the experiment and the fact that we've had similar ones prone to turning chaotic later on, it... was an idea I had been considering previously, yes.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Busywork.

[He pushes himself up and out of the chair, peering down at Raine.]

That was also a very long and drawn out way to say "yes."

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Is there a problem?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

...

Is there?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You tell me.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Of course not.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Your tone would indicate otherwise.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

My tone can be very deceptive.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Part of the "charm" of your new body?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Yes.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

... Is there anything else that you'd like to tell me?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Such as?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

More details about this demon of yours, for instance. You've been very sparse with them.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Demon of mine? Hardly. He seeks the chaos of the battlefield. There really isn't much else to say.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Does he have a name?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

The Black Knight, Yuber.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I see.

Do you believe there was any particular significance, to this change?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

He is a past acquaintance of mine. An associate, if you must know.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I see...

Are you certain you're all right?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

...

[He has been standing like that for awhile, hasn't he? He slowly settles back into the chair.]

I don't really know.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You know that you aren't. So there's something else bothering you.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

...

As I said, Yuber is a killer. One who takes pleasure in causing chaos and spreading discord throughout battlefields. The more havoc, the better. Though it shouldn't affect me, he is also the bearer of a True Rune, like Sasarai has blatantly announced.

He kills with no remorse, with little to no provocation.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

...

And how do you intend to not let it affect you?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Several people maintain their personalities despite their physical changes. If I haven't devolved into killing anyone... Well.
