angel sanctuary - setsuna mudou

Video;

[Those that are used to feeling his presence would have been missing that of Setsuna Mudou's for the past hour-two hours. He's here now, though, with a big smile on his face.]

So, Dave was right. That other City is super creepy. Don't think I'll be going back there alone.

Anyway! Hey, DEITIES! [He gives a big grin.] Would you join me for some tea?

[ooc: Yeah, he went to Shadow City. He's spent the past three weeks, or so, learning how to "teleport" (I'm not sure what else to call it, vague-ass abilities), as he did in canon, while NOT being under duress. The result is he can, but it does nothing but take him to Shadow City, then back to the City. Even when he tries anywhere else.]

You visited the Shadow City?

[ He's inordinately proud. ]

It actually has a name!

What else do you know about it, Karl?

[He would be happy at least someone's proud.]

You didn't know?

Just that. Network communication tends to be hazy there. It's sort of an ...echo? Of the City. A Twilight Zone. Haven't been tempted to visit yet.

[ Because it sounds too much like Purgatory. ]

No. I never heard about it until Dave went there.

It was empty. Well, I mean, the buildings were there, but there were no people. So silent. Eerie.

Do you know how to get there? It seems like there's more than one way.

No people? What a pity. What would a Chiropteran eat there?

Why ask me? You seem to have gotten there fine on your own.

Well, according to other people, you can't stay anyway. You'll die. It's a rumor, though I don't really feel like testing that out.

No, I meant for yourself.

Oh?

That's one rumor I haven't heard yet. Perhaps I'll ask around on how to visit myself.

Karl.... You want to go there and see if it'll kill you? At least tell me when you go, please?

Do you have ability to mess with time? That's how Dave ended up there. Something about trying to turn time back. And when I try to even touch those powers to see if I can, I end up there. Then when I tried to go somewhere else, I guess you could call it teleporting? I ended up there, too.

Why? Dying -- or attempting to die -- is a private thing. [ Except he's not in a terrible rush. That, itself, is telling. ]

...You teleport? [ A frown. ] Why not out of the City, then? Or is that not possible?

Don't I get to know when I might not see you again?

That's what I tried to do. But it took me to that Shadow City instead.

Going to kiss me goodbye~?

Tch. Predictable. The City may as well be bubble-encased.

I'm sure you got other people for that.

Yeah, it kinda sucks. You got any abilities like that? Anything?

But you're the one insisting.

None. We're not that talented.

I'd just like to know, okay. It sucks enough when people die.

Oh.... Maybe I could take you over there, though. I've never tried taking more than just myself and my sword.

People die all the time, Setsuna. May as well accept it.

...Oh? Just you and me? How tete-a-tete.

I know. That doesn't make it hurt any less.

Well, yeah. Why would anyone else need to know?

You're right. Why should they?

We'll make an expedition out of it.

[ Sarcasm or serious? ]

Okay. But if I take you in, I'm not leaving you there. At least not the first time.

[Whichever, Setsuna will roll with.]

Then you're defeating the purpose of my journey.

[ That is the tragedy of it. ]

If it's an expedition, we check it out. Then you can decide if you really want to die there.

Fair enough.

Don't tell Kira. Though you probably will.

Well...he wants me to tell him when I'm going over there, but I don't have to tell him you're with me. That's between us.

Should we make a blood-pact of it?

Do you really need to go that far? Or do you just have trust issues? Or is this any excuse to get my blood out of my skin?

Yes. Yes.

And to coin a popular Americanism?

Duh.
