angel sanctuary - mad hatter

voice;

A word of advice to those who seem to matter in these things...a curse works best when both parties get something they want in the situation, not just one side. If you truly wish to torment someone taking away what they want hurts more than things they never wanted in the first place.

[filtered to Setsuna]

[The ring ne was wearing just Saturday was left where he would find it.]

Return it, sell it, or whatever you wish. One cares not to see it again.

[filtered to July]

Do not look or watch for this One today.

[action option]

[Considering the overwhelming amount of fluff and drama that happened this past weekend, and other reasons, ne's actually out today although not so much further than would be expected since a private room at She'ol isn't too far from unusual. Of course, ne has to get there first so if anyone happens to meet nem on the way...well ne wouldn't mind the company of the right person. Or two.]

[Hello, Hatter. Nathan is suddenly walking with you with a drink just for you to offer.]

So pleased to see you are yourself again. Should I get you something?

[Ne has no problem with that being a master of the tactic nemself.]

One is always Oneself, just more or less so. [Ne laughs at the question though, wrapping an arm around his.] Something...someone...

[Handing over the drink, he considered that a moment or so.]

Would you like them dead or alive when you're finished with them?

Does it matter?

[That question wouldn't normally even be a thought, but then again...]

They will be returned in the shape they started in. Mostly.

Well if they'll die I know just the ones to offer.

[Because, you know, he's the best of hosts.]

[He so is.]

If they do, it will be by their own hand and not by any act from this One.

Any preferences on looks?

[There's a slight raise of an eyebrow your way for that Nathan. Really? You're being too kind in thinking ne has preferences beyond available. Although...]

Not blond.

[And this would be why he asked. He assumed not blond would be the case.]

Have this drink and a room and I'll make sure you have some lovely people to occupy you for the rest of the day~

[He blows a kiss then vanishes.]

[Aww Nathan, this is one reason why ne likes you so much.]

[He's using voice, but sounds the same as ever.] That's okay. I didn't want to see it again, either.

[Of course he does, he wouldn't be Setsuna if he didn't.]

Then have someone else take it. It is safe enough.

[Ne didn't bother cursing it no matter how tempting it was.]

No, it's all right. I'll take it. Might as well.

You okay, though? It was just a curse, stupid as it was.

[There's a slight pause before ne answers.]

Why wouldn't One be?

You don't even want to see the ring. That sounds kinda bothered, to me.

[Ne's using voice and that's what he picks up on as showing there's a problem?]

You said the same did you not?

[Yep.]

Well, yeah. I'm kinda bothered by it. I mean, let's face it, I'm always happy when I'm marred here. That's kinda nice.

But...you're definitely not someone I'd choose for myself. And I'm pretty sure you feel the same about me.

We have had this conversation. This One would not choose anyone, especially not for that.

Oh yeah.

So you are bothered.

Two weekends, almost back to back, of different but the same. At least the one felt almost normal.

It matters not. The others will be happy to hear you are back to your senses.

That is kinda disturbing....

I suppose joking around telling everyone to leave my ex-wife alone is in bad taste, huh? [He has to ask, since it's what he did to Cain.]

They would claim you were still cursed.

[A laugh.} I meant in bad taste for you.

They can think I'm cursed all they want.

Some would suggest there is no other taste when it comes to this One. Why would you be concerned about it?

Knock it off!

The whole engagement thing was fake, but that doesn't mean I don't care at all.

You should know better. If you had not before, you should now.

[A sigh.]

Right, that. That was horrible of you, but I feel how I feel. I'm afraid caring about people isn't dictated by how awful they are. If it was, I wouldn't give a fuck about Karl. Or Rosiel.

And probably care a little less about Katou. And not care as much about Kira. Wouldn't care that much about Raphael himself, either.

Do you really think that was the worst this One has done?

[You confuse nem way too much some times Setsuna.]

Feel how you want, do not expect a return.

Probably not. And I probably don't want to know the other stuff, either.

[It's only fair, since Hatter confuses Setsuna, too.]

I don't. If I did, do you think I'd be able to keep caring about Karl? Or Raphael? Wouldn't work very well. It's free of charge.

[Ne'd suggest Karl does care in his own fucked up way, but Raphael is another story.]

You care that one not for his own sake but Michael's.

[Ne doesn't want to think about either of them at the moment.]

Would you check on July later?

So it was a curse, then.

[Setsuna shakes his head.] Now you're confusing me with Kira.

But yeah, I will. I was gonna check on him, anyway.

Of course it was. Even you should know where this One's heart resides.

[You know what? Ne doesn't want to talk about him right now either.]

Good. He does not always remember to eat.

[And ne plans on not coming back home for a good while.]

What a relief.

So we can find something to agree upon.

He doesn't? Doesn't he get hungry?

...whatever. I'll check up on him, don't worry about that.

He doesn't think about it. [Still haven't figured that out yet Setsuna?]

Thank you.

Well, I'll keep an eye on him, so it shouldn't be a problem. [And maybe he can explain that to him.]

You're welcome.

[With that, Setsuna ends the conversation.]

I imagine everyone does.

This One has no qualms about admitting it, so there should have been no question from the start.

How interesting the reactions were though.

"Interesting" isn't the word I would use.

Really? And what would you say they were?

Very considerate, handing out advice.

[Speaking of things wanted...]

It won't be taken, but there should be some point to it besides mindlessness.

So what do you suggest should be taken away in your case, to torment you?

It would have to be given first. And that would be the greater pain.

No worries, then. I think you'll be spared.

[As if ne doesn't know that.]

One will not be...home for a while, if you have need of anything.

[Setsuna can take care of July, but there are some ways he's not capable of filling in for nem.]
