Well hey everyone, it's been kinda quiet lately hasn't it? I don't know about all of you but a lot sure has happened since I got here, so all this quiet is a little weird. Especially after fighting all the Risen for a while back home, but hey they're all supposed to be gone now, aren't they?

[Henry clears his throat a bit, and those who happen to be very good at reading others might notice that his ever-present smile tightens just a little. It's not quite forcing it, but there's definitely something on his mind.]

So because of all that I just said, I gotta ask a question. Has anyone seen a woman named Robin? Usually wears a big purple coat that might be a bit too big for her, and her collar is blue. It all kinda matches. Anyway, I haven't seen her the last few days and because nothing's happened, maybe one of you know something. Or maybe even hurt her!

[His smile widens a bit, and there's no mistaking the tinge of malice to it. A warning.]

And if it's that, I'll make sure you pay, oh yes someone will pay. Thank you~.

You're missing a friend?

[ Totally missing the malice. Or maybe she does notice it, but it doesn't faze her in the slightest - Urotsuki looks as calm and blank as ever. ]

.. I can go look for her. I think someone with a coat like that isn't hard to miss.. probably.

[bloodlessons]

You'll help me? You're the best, I really appreciate it! [And he does mean every word, even if part of him still wants to call for blood if anything happened to Robin.]

Just don't go getting lost yourself, I'll get worried about you.

[chainsawn]

Hmm, I know it well here. I don't think I could get lost. [ But that's not the surprising part. The part that makes her stop and blink for a moment comes after it, and it takes a moment for her to even take it in. ] .. But.. you'd be.. worried? About me..?

[ As if she can't believe anyone would be. ]

[bloodlessons]

Of course I would be! Thing is, I really like you. So if anything happens to you, I think I might be sad. Now you gotta make sure it doesn't, okay? [It was a little weird, other than Robin he didn't think that he'd make that many other friends while he's here.

Then again, the Shepherds did weeeird things to him.]

[chainsawn]

.. I won't let something happen to me. I definitely won't. [ It's a little more firm than her usual tone. After all, she made him promise the same thing to her, it would be unfair if she didn't put all of herself into it! ]

Um.. maybe there's a time I can't help it, that's happened before.. but I'll try my best.

[bloodlessons]

Wha—? It's happened before? Now you gotta tell me how, did you know that?

[WHO DOES HE HAVE TO KILL, UROTSUKI...]

[chainsawn]

[ SHE DOESN'T KNOW YET JUST HOW HENRY IS A LOT LIKE HER IN THAT SENSE, OKAY.. not.. yet... ]

Well, last Halloween we all got to dress up for Halloween. But the costume the people in charge gave me was a little tight. So it choked me until I died. [ She says it surprisingly calmly. Like dying is just the same as taking a nap or something. Even if it might as well be in this place. ]

[bloodlessons]

That's it? It was a shirt that killed you? [Laaaame, needs more blood and guts in it. Or he would think so with any other person, right now he just would like to know who.]

[chainsawn]

[ She nods. ]

Um, I guess.. and a mask too. It was an outfit like one of those serial killers from movies on TV. You know, with a hockey mask and all so other people will think they're scary.

[bloodlessons]

Movies? I don't know what that is, think you could show me after I figure out what the heck happened to Robin?

[chainsawn]

Uh-huh, I could. It's sad if you've never seen a movie, they're really, really fun. I know most of them.

[ If not just since she's spent days on end watching them alone in her room.. if it wasn't for this place and her dreams she might just have run out already, really. ]

What kind of stories do you like? While I'm looking, I can try to think of one to show you.

[bloodlessons]

Anything with lots of blood and death is great for me! But if there's something out there in those movie things that you really like, I'd watch them all with you! [Watch him be utterly transfixed once he actually encounters one.]

Whatever makes you happy, that's fine with me.

[chainsawn]

... [ At first she blinks like she's surprised. But then it's almost like it's more than that, since she seems near-flustered for a moment, her cheeks lighting up slightly. ]

You.. want whatever makes me happy..?

[bloodlessons]

Yup! I've told you before haven't I? I really like you, and even regular people like seeing their friends happy, so that goes double for me! [But hey, why did she look surprised there for a sec?]

Is that wrong?

[chainsawn]

Um.. well.. nobody ever told me something like that.

[ Sure, Kidou did like her, but he never said specifically that - and he's the one who came the closest to it in the end, after all. ]

So.. i-it's not wrong, it's just.. different. In a good way, I think..

[bloodlessons]

Huh, really? That's a real bummer, but no one's really ever told me that either. Guess it's not too unusual then!

[She doesn't seem upset at least, and that's good by Henry's book.]

[chainsawn]

I-- I want what makes you happy too!

[ It's really, really weirdly emotional. For anyone else's standards it might only be a little emotional, but considering just how blank Urotsuki is 98% of the time, this seriously is a lot. It's almost like she jumps up as she says it pretty forcefully. ]

[bloodlessons]

[And it's noticeable enough that even Henry pauses for a moment, this was more than what he's seen out of her so far.

So that smile of his might be a bit more genuine than it usually is.] But I am happy, don't you know?

[chainsawn]

.. Then.. I want to make you even more and more happy. So happy that you won't know what to do with all the happiness, that you feel like maybe you'll burst from it..

[ Because she has to do something to make him happy.

So he won't leave. ]

[bloodlessons]

Wha? You mean... explode? [No, he has no idea what she really feels about that. All he can imagine is being so happy he would actually blow up from it.

And it's something he wouldn't mind one bit.]

[chainsawn]

[ HENRY WHEN EVEN UROTSUKI IS BETTER AT EMOTIONS THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.. ]

No. Not explode.. well, not literally explode. It just means that you have so much happiness, that it'll fill you up completely, you'll feel like you'll never be sad anymore..

[bloodlessons]

[They're both a little special that way sob...!]

Heh, if I ever get that happy, I would be really lucky. But I think it'd be better if it went to you, and if it does I'll help you out by sharing it a little. Because being so happy can also hurt, right? And I don't want to see you hurting because you're happy, ever.

[chainsawn]

.. Then we'll share it. No matter which one of us gets it.. we'll definitely share it.

[ That idea in itself is actually better to Urotsuki than the happiness itself, honestly. After all, it means doing something with another person, even if it's something as simple as sharing. ]

If you can't find her then you should check the graveyard. If you find her name there you can be sure that she was sent home.

video

[bloodlessons]

Wha? How would being sent home mean that her body is buried here?

video

[brbtalkingtogod]

What body? Only our souls have been taken here, have you slept in the last months? And that's what was send back.

video

[bloodlessons]

Oh riiight, I didn't think about that. They look so much like the ones we have, you know? Or at least mine does.

I don't think I've been asleep at all, really.

video

[brbtalkingtogod]

That they do. Anyways, you should check to have a confirmation if her soul was sent back.

video

[bloodlessons]

That's all it really takes? Just looking for a rock with her name on it?

video

[brbtalkingtogod]

See it as confirmation if she's gone or still there.

video

[bloodlessons]

So say I go, and her name is there and everything—can I still pull someone's guts out? It might make me feel better faster.

[brbtalkingtogod]

Then you'd have to find Ruana but it would rather be the other way around.

[bloodlessons]

Huh? You're saying that she'll really be pulling my guts out instead?

[brbtalkingtogod]

She would not only pull them out, she would devour them.

That's of course only if it weren't made of glamour and wireframe.

[bloodlessons]

Whoooa, really? Hey, I heard of that happening to some guy a couple of months ago from the friend I'm looking for, it can really happen to us regular folk?

[brbtalkingtogod]

I wouldn't be surprised if she did that to us as well.

[bloodlessons]

That's sounds sooo neat! I just hope there isn't too much pain, I don't like outchies, ya know? [#priorities.]

[brbtalkingtogod]

No one likes them. Unless they are... never mind.

[Yeah no, he didn't need this vivid memory of Ezekiel in this mind.]

[bloodlessons]

Wait, you actually know someone who does?

[WHAT IS THIS YOU SPEAK OF?]

[brbtalkingtogod]

... You could say so.

[Evil things Henry, really evil things that were supposed to be holy but are just as bad as demons.]

[bloodlessons]

[Holy shmoly, he just wants to hear all the deets!]

How'd you find out, did you watch them get their insides turned inside-out? Whatever it was it must have been gruesome if they like it.

[brbtalkingtogod]

[... Oh goodness, why did he speak?]

They made it obvious, more than obvious. And to be honest, I don't wish them to appear in this place or on the surface of the world ever again.

[bloodlessons]

[Because Henry just has that weird kind of influence, it's dangerous!]

They're gone? That's a real bummer, I would have liked to have asked them how the heck they were able to stand all that. Maybe I could have learned a few things, and you never know who might ask for torture just like that!

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Well, Lucifel knows what to say to this guy for the future.]

It's for the better.

[bloodlessons]

If you say so, hey what's your name anyway? You're telling me about this weird guy and I know more about him than you, isn't that a little weird?

[brbtalkingtogod]

That's for the next time we meet.

[And with one flick of his fingers he disappears from the screen. Lucifel left the terminal.]

[bloodlessons]

[... He will hunt you down now, Lucifel.

Until he knows your name!]
