01 - [Video]

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

[Minato frowns. In his mind, he's quickly going over all the information he heard so far and comparing them to past information from the Underworld.

Is this yet another game between the gods? Or a trick of the Apportioners? He can't rule out the possibility of other reasons for his world's destruction (assuming it's true, of course) even when Hades is finally killed.

First, he need to confirm who is here. As well as asking some important questions. The slight frown went away in favour of a more neutral expression as he turns on the video. It took him a moment to learn the basics, but it's not that hard for him.]

My name is Minato Arisato and I just arrived here. If my friends are here, please tell me you're okay.

[SEES, report in.]

And for those who have been here longer than I am, please take a moment to answer my question.

What happens if you die here?

[A rather morbid question, but it's still important.]

[Minato? Suzaku was confused for a moment before they explained they were new, which means they were a double. He was instantly suspcious about the question though, his memories of meeting the first Minato were fuzzy due to him halucinating and to the live on geass kicking in but he knew Minato had wanted them to leave him to die.]

You wake up the next day and experiance the sleep paralysis that you experianced when you first arrived, except for a longer time.

[If he knew, Minato would feel bad despite not being responsible for it. At the moment, the other boy's a stranger.

The information matches other people's answers so far, so he's a little more inclined to believe it.]

I see. Thank for your answering.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[He's still suspicious but doesn't pry] You're welcome, did you have any more questions?

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

[Minato pause, wondering if he should ask.] ...Are you familiar with Hades, Hecate or the Apportioners?

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[Suzaku looks confused and then shakes his head slowly] They are... mythology right?

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

[Hm. He probably isn't a previous resident in the Underworld. Which is fortunate.] That's right. Greek mythology to be exact.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[Suzaku nodded] I am afraid I don't know much about them.

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

It's alright. [It might be better if Suzaku doesn't know.] But thank you for answering.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] My name is Kururugi Suzaku, if you want to ask any more questions.

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, Suzaku-san. [...] I apologise for any confusion I may have caused.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

It is nice to meet you too Minato-san [Matching his politeness] You caused no confusion.

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

I'm glad, because I've... [Erm.] ...talked with the other Minato earlier.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[Suzaku nodded politely] Do not worry Minato-san I am aware of doubles of people, it is a strange thing about this Tower. [And he will not hold anything your double does against you, because the other Minato is a total jerk (sorry other Minato!)]

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

I know about doubles, but it's the first time it happens to me. [Thank you, Suzaku! Minato will always have that minor conflict of interest with other Minato.] So it's a surprise to talk to 'myself'.

[Other than listening to the voices in his head.]

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Yes I can imagine it must be strange. [Luckily he doesn't have a double in the tower, he can imagine it must be very strange]
