No, I don't have points to spare for something like that. [ she's too busy buying stupid shit. ] But we can talk in the snake room. It'll be fitting. [ she baps the door shut with her tail and leads him to her room, turning to lock the door once he's inside. ]
[ doot doot secret locks and doors, and then the bed moves to reveal the staircase that leads to this. ] c'Mon.
If and when I get my soul back I want to die. I can ask a sIV and a pep! here to take care of things, but I... really just... [ clasps her hands together to keep from fumbling. ] I know this is stupid, I know, but I just need a release from all the pain.
I don't want it overly messy, because I don't want anybody having to deal with more than just giving me a swift electric kick in the ass. I'm not sure what would be best, but it's not like we have to decide on that now. I just wanted to bring it up to you before we begin.
Fine. Then my stipulations are a relatively painless death - enough to get whatever relief high you need - but requiring nothing but wound sealing and a revival from the healing units.
Anyway, I talked to a couple of those involved and I figured we could compare notes before I went to talk to her. And, not only that, but maybe you could help me figure a way to lay the groundwork for this deal.
It was a hit from one of Azzy's and from what I gather, a direct request. Unfortunately, pawns that we are all, how that fits into the greater Hell Prince politics is still generally a mystery. Nor was the act premeditated. The person wasn't expecting to run into Exael in the house.
I got much of the same information. He was asked to do a task, he did it, and everybody got what they wanted. During their romp in the hotel they just happened to slip through the cracks and find themselves with Exael, and they took the opportunity. She was shot. I'm kind of surprised that's all it took, honestly.
I'm no detective. [ she tips her imaginary hat to him. ] I had to bother my superior for information, otherwise I wouldn't have made any progress.
At some point I'd like us to get together with Eichi. Since he's on one side and I'm on the other and you're in the middle we figured we could all share information.
I don't know. It... doesn't feel like much, if I'm being honest. Like, it might be news to them that the hit came from Azzy, himself, and it hadn't just been some rogue Idol getting revenge for a shitty game, but I feel like that's all I have. I guess maybe the fact that she died so easily??? I... don't know. I really don't.
