[First all to be seen is an angry blond with two feathered wings protruding out his back over a ripped shirt. He steps in the fountain, shouts things at the sky, turns to leave, then stops, staring right at the screen.]

Huh? What's this thing? [Camera angle tilts.] Looks like a camera. With a keyboard. Maybe a very small computer. But maybe a video camera, too, 'cause I'm on the screen, and it says it's recording. [Keeps examining it.]

Uh. Whatever. I don't have time for this. [Angle changes as he's about to put it down, then he suddenly stops and quickly it's pulled back to this face.]

Wait! Does this pick up sound? Can you hear me? God, you asshole?! Sara? Kurai? Lucifer? Uriel? Michael? ANYONE? What the hell is going on out there? I came in to find God and he's not here? [An arm flings out in irritation to gesture at his surroundings.]

Where are you? You hiding from me? Turning coward NOW, after everything?

We have something to settle, and I need to take Sara back and return the world the way it was. So get out here and stop playing these illusion games!

[He's quiet then and stares at the device while pushing at buttons on the screen, but it just goes to voice.]

Crap. Still says it's recording something. How do I shut this thing off....[Either he finally figures it out, or it turns off by itself.]



[ooc: For those by the fountain feel free to greet him in person.]

I shan't tell you a thing, as I slit your throat bare.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

Same as ever....

I thought death might help with that.

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

Don't speak in riddles, blood-not-of-my-blood, you're not made for these games. As it happens, you live. I live. Your friends and your... sister, now...

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

I'm not speaking in riddles! That's what YOU do!

Sara's alive as well. Just stop there. [He doesn't want to think too much about Katou and Kira right now. Too painful. He needs to focus on GETTING back out. And Rosiel's distracting him!]

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

Oh, I've stopped. But the threat's not in my hands, now... is it?

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

But now I'm telling.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

Telling what?

Why are you even here?! These deities must like torturing people to have you here! I don't need this right now.

I need a way out!

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

...shhhh. Shhhhh, shhhhhhhh, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Listen. Listen, listen, all is well, time will tell, baby'll fall under a spell. Baby'll sleep, baby'll keep, I'll hold him so he won't weep. Don't worry, don't please worry, I'll protect you.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

[A bit of an annoyed grimace.]

Like hell you will! You'll probably try to kill me first chance you're given.

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

The second. I'll kiss you for the first.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

No way in hell am I letting you kiss me. I think we've been intimate enough with each other.

[Dammit! What? Ten minutes ago he was crying for Rosiel's fate, and now he's been reduced back to THIS already? There's still sympathy in the background of it all, though, or he could've just turned off the device and STOPPED replying ages ago.]

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

You're in a land unknown, you have no guide, you have no strength, you have no allies. You have me. As strategy goes, you can't afford to dismiss me. Not... when I put myself ever so willingly at your disposal.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

[Rosiel's got a point there, if Setsuna really takes the time to think on it. He's quiet for a moment - shocking!]

I'm not dismissing you. I just don't wanna be kissed by you.

As for allies, don't be so sure I have none. If we're here, the others might follow, don't you think?

[ video ] 1/2

[shall_yield_us]

...oh. Oh, well... of course, that's...

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

...no, that's entirely unlikely. You pathetic wretch, you're hoping she'll come, aren't you?

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

...I'm not so sure I want her here. She might be better off where she was.

I'd rather go back to her.

[No need to ask who he means there.]

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

Tsk.... and yet, yet, yet, yeeeeet... if you die here, you can't well return. Hasn't anyone told you? Oh, now I've told you.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

No, no one told me yet. Not that I plan to LET that happen, anyway.

[It happens all the time, regardless, because he's stupid about himself that way.]

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

[ just. this. smile. ]

And things, as they would, always happen as the Messiah plans.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

[And Rosiel has ANOTHER point, one Setsuna really doesn't like.]

What? So you're gonna kill me? Is that what you're saying?

[ video ] 1/2

[shall_yield_us]

And chance that whatever shackled Alexiel to the entity of 'Setsuna Mudou' should break without her body near to regain its soul?

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

...I'll think on it.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

Don't be stupid.

[He's thought of something! Go figure. But it's really important.]

Her body's not here, is it? Unless it came with one of us, what do you think would happen if you killed me? Where would her spirit go? It might not be able to reach her body from here.

[ video ]

[shall_yield_us]

What's this? My own argument against me. Ah, Sevotharte, your revenge at long last - and from the sweetest lips, to think.

Precious Setsuna, that meager insecurity would be why now you breathe and you live. I assure you.

[ video ]

[beyourarmy]

As long as I have my body to search for a way out.

Don't you want out of here? I can't imagine you'd be happy here.... [Or what if this is the only place for Rosiel to go now that he's deceased? If that was the case, well, then, Setsuna would prefer he stay. But.... Is this all that remains for him?]
