Another bit the dust

[rustyhonesty]

What the actual fuck? I was killed by something I couldn't even see? That's freaking ridiculous.

[Yes, hello. Jean has made his return from death. He's annoyed, but he's not shouting. Just annoyingly huffing. Most of the annoyance is a high and mighty act though. It was actually a big shock to die all of a sudden.]

Watch out for Maria. She's tiny, but very dangerous. I don't know what I did to upset her- well, I sneaked into the summit, but was that really a reason to stab someone?

... well, I guess if they thought I was a spy or something.

[Okay, so maybe he had a reason he was killed.]

I'm staying out of Koroshima from now on. Most likely I'm headed for Mibu.

...Great. Just what Maria-chan needs, invisible knives.

[rustyhonesty]

Well, yeah, I wouldn't want to give a kid her age any kind of knives...

[leftbehindagain]

That aside, she could probably smother people in kittens or something if she put her mind to it. She's alarming enough.

[He likes Maria, don't get him wrong. But she's kinda weird sometimes.]

[rustyhonesty]

Really? I haven't met her personally, so I don't really know what kind of a person she is.

[leftbehindagain]

She's a nice kid, pretty sharp for her age. But she's... kinda weird at the best of times.

[rustyhonesty]

Maybe she's just at that difficult age... where she's weird.

[leftbehindagain]

It's probably more complicated than that.

How are you holding up? It's a hell of a thing to come back from.

[rustyhonesty]

... probably. We don't know the circumstances she comes from so it's impossible to know.

[His mental voice on the private side is a lot heavier and tired than it is on public. It's taking a lot of energy to keep himself sounding neutral in front of the whole network.]

It could be worse. I doubt I'll be sleeping very well for a while, but... I'll be fine.
