Comments

[justoscar]

[He read the comment once-- twice-- thrice, even, to be sure that he was reading everything correctly. Amid the promises of death he saw no threat. Rather, on some level, that Chara was teaching him.

Or using him.]

Guess the only thing we can trust here is the limitless potential inside of people.

I'm listening, Chara. You have my word that I'll do my best to keep Paul above board. We have an arrangement. Or, we did before the boat.

It'll need another look, I think.

I'll do what I can about John. We have allies beside him and one of them is fond of me. This could be helpful.

After this gets fixed, I'm going to be needing his help anyway.

This can't happen again.

About your part, though... Which are you today? The avenging angel or the atoning champion?

[the_obedient_servant]

Neither. I outgrew both delusions after I realized I could never be a hero. I was the dragon atop the mountain, the revenant that lingers after the tragedy, the red death at the masquerade, the angel cast down from paradise. But for now.

I am the demon that comes when it's name is called.

[justoscar]

I didn't call your name, though. You came anyway, and you broke the weapon I was using to defend my home.

...Ruby made that for me, you know. It was the first weapon I had that was just mine and no one else's.

I'll need to ask her a new one if I'm to follow your assignments and avoid getting too much attention from you again.

[the_obedient_servant]

It's not the people that I kill that call my name. It's my partner. My true partner.

They are gone. Unreachable by this place.

Besides. How could you call my name? You don't even know it.

[justoscar]

You really don't have to be so dramatic.

2/2

[justoscar]

Are you ever going to tell me your deal or are you just going to be mysterious about it?

Either way, you're a hard kid to get a read on.

[the_obedient_servant]

Maybe if I'm a hard enough kid to get a read on, you won't make the assumptions you seem to usually do.

If you're smart, you can figure it out on your own.

[justoscar]

For someone who says they don't care, you're really going out of your way to teach me something.

I'll figure it out.

And I'll figure out who hurt you, too.

[the_obedient_servant]

You will dig until your hands are bleeding. Of that, I am sure.

Good luck, Oscar.

We'll see whose determination is stronger.
