The same substance, in a tea spoon's fill is cure, in excess is... hmmm. Poison.

Well, Paracelsus be bless-damned, I shouldn't want more than a bite of you nomad tribes any-the-how. Unless you bring and maybe sing news, or blood offerings, or prayers.

But mostly news. Come, come, parasites. I'll take your news.

It's pretty damn hard to ignore someone wearing--

Mudou!

[beyourarmy]

Eh, it can be kinda hard to ignore him. Yeah. But sometimes you just gotta.

Yeah, who else would I be?

[highestangel]

You ain't doing the best job of it yourself.

I dunno. Did we all end up here? Then... then Kira's gotta be around this dump somewhere, right?

1/3

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, but I'm handling him. At least I was.

Insert obligatory interlude of emo

[beyourarmy]

[beyourarmy]

I....

No. I haven't seen him. But I guess you never know with all the people we've seen here already.

[highestangel]

What's with you, Mudou?

[beyourarmy]

What do you mean?

[highestangel]

You're acting like someone ran over your dog.

[beyourarmy]

What?

[Crap. Was he?]

It's...just like I haven't seen you in a while, it's been a while since I've seen him, 'kay? [There are some things even Setsuna Mudou doesn't say. He CAN hold his tongue, just not often.]

[highestangel]

No it hasn't.

[He looks downright perturbed.]

You hit your head when we threw you in that fountain or what?

[beyourarmy]

[Now he fully gets it, understanding what TIME Katou is from.]

Oh. That's the last thing you remember? See. It's different for me. That's far from the last thing that happened to me.

[highestangel]

... You hit your head. Goddammit.

[beyourarmy]

If I did, it'd be your and Kira's fault, wouldn't it?

But no, Katou, that's not what happened. [He laughs a little.]

Here. This help prove my point? [Have ALL SIX WINGS out for your display.] I didn't have this many back then, did I?

[highestangel]

[rather questionable remains of a brain....]

[attempting to process...]

[and the attempt failed]

I'm dead.

[beyourarmy]

[That...wasn't quite what Setsuna wanted to get at. His wings droop to that, folding behind his back and he looks away.]

Yeah. [Then he shakes his head.] But not! You're here. See? Right now. So...just let me enjoy this time with you, and let's not focus on that, 'kay?

1/3

[highestangel]

[now c'mon Mudou you just can't be serious here]

[highestangel]

Dead dead?

[highestangel]

What the fuck h-

No. I don't wanna know.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, that's best.

Let's not focus on that. Why don't we look for Kira, instead?

[highestangel]

...

.... Sure, sure. That bastard's gotta be here somewhere.

[beyourarmy]

Exactly! Everyone else is, right? So why not Kira?

[highestangel]

He owes me a pack of cigarettes.

[beyourarmy]

[Grabs for Katou's arm, being more touchy-feely than most.]

Come on, then. [And it's also to prove Katou's real and solid, and everything's good.] We'll just leave here, quietly and quickly. [Why, yes, Katou, he wants you FAR, FAR, FAR AWAY from Rosiel.]

[highestangel]

Okay, okay! You don't have to hold my hand here, I can walk!
