Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

. . . Yeah. He's—they're like that now. The new guy just didn't wake up until now, I guess.

[talking to him! ...And the empty air above his head, which is apparently Fang :|b]

Re: Waking up~

[. . . staaaare]

Are you talking to them both?

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Yes.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I didn't know you could do that. How's Fang?

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

He's all right. He says we don't have to worry about them anymore.

I usually... can't talk so easily to them like this. Fang's voice is so clear, and he's completely lucid. But it's always been this way.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

He's an idiot.

. . . What do you mean? This really is just normal for them?

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

I don't know if that means it's normal. It just means it's something I'm not used to. But... he's not in pain or upset, and he's working together with the other willingly. They're not in opposition at all.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

They seemed like that inside . . . Sparta just wanted to get to Fang. He was stuck at the entrance when we showed up.

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . . That's really. . . amazing. If. . . it's like this, and Fang is still here, then it's not so bad.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

He definitely is. You can see him, and he still recognized me and Ikki when we got to the end. It's only Sparta who doesn't know us yet.

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Sparta, huh...

[slumps right to the ground, dropping into a cross-legged, slouched position]

Aah. Thank God.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

. . . [sits down next to him]

You were as worried as us, huh.

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

I'm not as close to him as teammates would be, but. . . once my eye activated like that. . .

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Aa . . . That worried me a lot.

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

It doesn't really mean "it's dangerous." It did at home, because all I saw were Akuma, and those souls are all aching. I was scared of it being something like that.

But here, there's. . . people like them.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

I know that. He'd still be Fang even if it were like that . . . But seeing your eye go nuts when Fang had never triggered it before. That was kind of scary.

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

... Yeah.

I was scared he was going to disappear.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Yeah . . . I was really scared when we met Sparta first. He didn't recognize anyone.

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

[leans a little]

With a completely different soul, it's no wonder.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

[. . . leans back]

He's getting filled in pretty quick now though.

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

[is shaking a tad, hasn't seemed to notice]

Like a new teammate, huh.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. . . . You okay?

Re: Waking up~

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Eh? I'm fine. Everything's fine.

Re: Waking up~

[righthandsmoke.insanejournal.com]

You're shaking.
