[ Going with text because Tess might be listening in. ]

You did amazing. Thank you. It means a lot that you got to see me like that.

Don't let anyone drag you down. You're wonderful.

[power_of_yes]

[His response comes much later. He's been kneeling in prayer for hours, even when Lark has been in and out.]

Do you think it did what you wanted?

Re: text

[classifieds]

We'll have to wait and see.

But for now, it's enough that you were there. If these assholes won't see me, at least you did. And I hope you like what you saw.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

I did.

You were just as beautiful as I thought.

What did she tell you?

Re: text

[classifieds]

The usual junk. She really hates you, so you're doing something right.

What about you?

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

They're not my warden. Iris is still down. So I got a lecture and then told I wasn't worth worrying about. So here I am. In Zero.

Re: text

You're one of the only people here worth anything. You don't bow to the Admiral. You stay true to yourself.

Most people aren't so strong.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

I'm aware. I'm getting out of here my way. Not their way.

Re: text

[classifieds]

I'm looking forward to it.

Someday we'll be free and away from all of this.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

I do hope so.

I lose faith seeing how many of these wardens have come back to this place. And they call ME brainwashed.

Re: text

[classifieds]

You're not. And it has to stay that way. No matter what they threaten us with, we have to stay true to ourselves.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

Yes, I know.

Are you in for the full week?

Re: text

[classifieds]

Probably. I didn't bother to ask, just in case it was pushing my luck.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

We'll miss the New Year. I'm sure they're having a celebration.

Another party.

Another reason to indulge.

Re: text

[classifieds]

God, I hate parties. If I weren't in here I'd crash it and ruin it for everyone. They don't deserve to have fun like that.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

I was wondering why I didn't see you at the holiday party.

Well, they can fill themselves full of sin enough.

Re: text

[classifieds]

You went?

I didn't think that'd be your scene.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

I was assured that there would be no alcohol and it breaks up the day.

I partied quite a bit before Eden's Gate.

Re: text

[classifieds]

I'd rather sit here in Zero than spend time mingling with those assholes. Unless you were getting some hot gossip out of it.

I've never been to a party. Not a real one, anyway. Just the ones with like, four people who weren't invited to the regular party hanging out.

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

You could have come with me.

But I usually get gossip. There's a new priest. Strange man. Warden, though. Which is unfortunate.

Re: text

[classifieds]

I would have if I knew you were going.

Ugh, wardens. How good of a priest can he be if he lets the Admiral call the shots? Isn't that a false idol or something?

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

Exactly.

But he seems odd. He might be one we explore a little farther.

Re: text

[classifieds]

What's his name?

Re: text

[power_of_yes]

Kirei Kotomine.

Re: text

[classifieds]

I'll keep an eye on him.

[ A beat. ]

And John? That Warren guy is trouble. Stay away from him. Or maybe we should kill him next. [ She's only seen them together once but oh boy she did not like John's body language around him. ]
