Second Duel (Forward dated to late Saturday morning)

*It's Margulis' first appearance on the network, and...well, he looks horrible. He looks like he's barely slept in days and he looks almost sickly pale, except for where he skin is inflamed red from the cold. His scar is an angry red line down the side of his face and it doesn't take a doctor to figure out that it has to be causing him pain. It's no wonder he looks somewhat annoyed, right?*

I hadn't thought you the sort of coward who would leave a message and then refuse to show his face, Jin Uzuki. Or have your scant manners finally failed you completely?

More generally, I've been indisposed for the past two days. If anything of note has happened in that time, I'm interested in hearing about it.

'The only problem being that we'd have to wait until the Administrators showed their faces again before we tried that. However, we have time. We can wait.'

'We would do best to attempt to maintain some subtlety even then. I have no doubt that an overt tempt to sow infighting would result in far worse punishment than two days of imprisonment.'

'Indeed. Which is why, if we are planning this, we need to be subtle and plan quite a few moves ahead. The wrong word or sentence can mess up a plan like this, so we have to plan out things in advance..and what things we would say to certain Administrators.'

'It would also be prudent to determine for certain if the girl is an aspect of Ruana and if she remembers the events in the cells.'

'Ruana has mentioned that she was kept in a cell numbered thirty-three. While it is possible that the girl is a fragment of Ruana, it is impossible to determine until we meet Ruana and this girl again. I highly doubt Ruana herself will tell us. She's been rather tight-lipped about her past when she doesn't want to remember something.'

*He frowns at that.*

'The girl we encountered appeared in cell thirty-seven.'

[chaos looked puzzled at that for a moment before thinking back. Seven or three..seven or three..ah. It appeared that his memory really needed to get back in gear. He wasn't sure how he could have messed up something that small. Maybe he was more shaken up by his death than he thought..or he was just tired.]

'Ah. Forgive me. It seems that my memory is not as sharp as it usually is. You are correct. Ruana was in cell thirty-seven. I am not quite sure how I could have forgotten that..'

'Then that does support the idea that she at the very least has a connection to Ruana.'

'That it does. Whether she is a different avatar or a small fragment of her personality, she has some connection to her. We shall have to find out what that connection is.'

*He nods.*

'I'll trust your discretion with regards to who to share this information with.'

*Translation: don't tell any blabbermouths, we don't want Jason to know about this if he doesn't already.'*

'You needn't worry. I shall be careful. Would a person who contacted you via telepathy to be secretive start blabbing about those secrets?'

[Translation: Just who do you take me for, Margulis?]

'There's always the possibility that someone you decide deserves to know won't be as careful.'

*Translation: Someone who's too nice for his own good.*

'Margulius, I have dealt with situations like this before. I am good at keeping my mouth shut and only opening them when I think the person can keep theirs closed.'

[Translation: I used to hide from Wilhelm with Jesus, Mary, and the Apostles years ago. I won't make the same mistake twice and tell a Judas something important.'
