> Cybernetics Headquarters, Scientist Living Quarters Hallway Allisons head buzzed, her thoughts turning. She was thinking about Zero and Sovereign and also about technical possibilities to save him. Did she even need to worry? Zero probably could have plans ready in an instant, she just needed to build whatever he needed. This was her expertise after all and Zero lacked the skills to do it himself. She wondered if he could use that body of his if he wanted to, or if at least that behaved as the…

"The best human is still not enough to defeat a vampire. You saw what happened.", Azrael was quick to shut the priest down. Thy caught her off guard with whatever it was that happened to her and made her stop for long enough to make their mistake, but Ignatius had been hurt badly and he'd been shaking too. Now it was like he forgot all about it, which meant he didn't learn anything and would rush straight ahead into danger again, thinking he was invincible. Azrael couldn't protect someone like h…

"Is that a sensitive subject? Because you're part Thrian?", Lucien asked, being well aware of the stigmatas previous generations put on their neighbors. They've been called wolves for a reason. Dayan didn't seem very aggressive and if he was it came from a place of fear. He was like a dog backed into a corner, thinking everybody was out to get him, which was not far from the truth. There were certainly people who'd want to hurt him, get rid of him for what he was, even nowadays, or especially be…

Josiah always seemed to do the opposite of what Louis wanted at the moment and Louis changed his opinion every other day. When he wanted Josiah to visit him, to see how he was doing, to just be with him for a bit, he didn't care about Louis, he didn't show up, didn't even look at him when he happened to be out of his trailer. When Louis wanted him to back off, to be with the people he should be with, with the ones that were like him, not some kind of twisted monster, he latched on to Louis, he d…

Louis nodded, but didn't say anything, because he didn't know how much he could say. He was trapped here as much ad he couldn't control what he did ad soon as the guests arrived. He wasn't sure if it was the ringmasters doing or other things were at play here. Blair didn't change as drastically. As much as he didn't belong anywhere it seemed he split in half trying to find a place in either world. Maybe one of his selves had to die eventually and there was only one side that got exhausted in the…

Louis wasn't sure if Josiah warmed up to this conversation or not. He still acted somewhat distant and annoyed. Usually he'd lay out all of what Louis said better than he meant it, today the opposite seemed to be the case. He snapped at him again and Lpuis didn't quite understand what he was doing wrong. For once he just tried to be nice and uncombative. He didn't have the energy to fight with Jo right now. "Sorry.", he apologized and the jab was well earned, even though he usually did all of wh…

"I wasn't complaining.", Louis quickly responded. Did it sound like that? It wasn't his intention. For how he treated Jo the past couple years it wasn't too out of the question and yet he was too tired to pretend he didn't care anymore. He was too tired to pretend anything anymore, even too tired to pretend he didn't want to give up. Josiah seemed unhappy about the task. When Blair suggested it Louis actually thought it was a good idea and that Josiah would be happy to get more responsibility an…

"Three days.", Louis repeated with a nod. He could work Josiah back in then and announce the new plan ahead of time. They lacked so mamy parts of the show, it was time tonfill back up. The ringmaster didn't complain, but he'd make himself known in different ways. Maybe he was satiated for now though and maybe he also felt like Louis learnt his lesson. He couldn't slack too much though. Josiah comment about how Louis looked felt cold, very much so. Was he blaming Louid for Leila and the aftermath…

Josiah told Louis that he was fine again and supposedly there had been enough time for his bones to heal, which was the most important part when it came to his performance. He needed to know his own limits and Louis was willing to trust him on this. "Ah, that's good. Just tell me when I can put you back on the show." He wasn't all too lazy after all it seemed. Maybe Blair was wrong, maybe he didn't see all that was going on after all and Josiah was just fine. Louis looked up, knowing exactly whe…

Lucy and Josiah were glued together and a lot more loving than Louis ever saw anyone in this circus. It was good for them, there was no reason to stop them, but at the same time the timing felt off. Their friend died not too long ago and suddenly they only had eyes for each other. Was Louis jealous? No that wasn't it, he was sure, there was no reason to be. Whether the two of them were close or not, Louis would still be alone and wasn't getting rid of Josiah his goal all along? Now he got what h…

"It's dangerous... For both of you and also exhausting." If she could truly help Genji, then ehy insist on being by his side for a few weeks or months. They'd have a lot more time together once thos curse was lifted, unless of course it would kill him. He'd take death, he'd embrace it even but he didn't believe Otoha would do something like that, no matter Genjis opinion. "As the goddess shouldn't she be able to do whatever she wants? Then again, I wondered why you were caring about a stranger l…

Louis rested he needed it, but he was too worried to actually sleep for long. He tried to distract himself with painting and he wondered if he could put the true ringmasters form on paper, but to no avail. He scribbled some other things, costumes and masks that would never be used, they were too bleak and scary. He wondered if Josiah would visit, but he didn't. Hr thought when he showed him ehat happened when he crossed the circus invisible border, they made up a bit anf he started to understand…

Louis looked at Blair confused, none of this made any sense. "But aside from making me bring the children to him, why ask me to manage the show, to gather everyone if we move and to make small changes he wants? Anyone could do that..." Louis once thought that maybe if he was doing good, the ringmaster would let his friends live and maybe that had been true if not for him thinking he'd be able to say no to something. He mistook the signs too, the warnings that were sent, he ignored them and now L…

"I'm not sure about that, I'm seldomly home you know.", he answered with a smile. As far as he knew Gin spent more time at home. Kosuke worked and trained and spent time with his colleagues, going out to drink or strolling around. He was always the silent type, even more so now that he hung on his phone more to text Gin, but it was still part of routine to join in and he couldn't tell them no every time. "If you want to raise children, you better move some neighborhoods over.", he smiled. Not th…

Louis wasn't sure he understood what Blair was saying, much less was he sure they were supposed to talk to each other about these things, out in the open no less. It was silent, deadly so and cold, everything felt more and more oppressive not only because winter was on its way. "Why does the ringmaster mostly talk to me and not all of them who are here for so much longer, or you, who's also not around for as long as they are?", he asked, knowing very well that Blairs guess was as good as his own…

"Don't you want to keep them for yourself?", he asked with a smile. He had one plushie now and he was required to send frequent updates of its well being. "Hm I don't know of it's not too close to all the ruckus." Didn't want anyone's child or adolescent wandering in. It happened, Kosuke wasn't from here but he saw young people wandering past the club, whispering about getting in. He shooed them away if they lingered around too and he himself wandered into the wrong crowd as well and now he was …

"Hm. Says the one with all the cute keychains and plushies.", he replied a bit more combative this time but all in good faith. "I'd argue people have no idea who I am, they just know what I am. As for you, you stick out, but not too much. The people here are all just normal folk, no debts, no gambling, not our turf. I'm sure they don't know you." Or was this a mean thing to say? It was simply that the people here wouldn't go near the club or Gins workplace and they either overlooked Kosuke becau…

Louis looked up at Blair and nodded slightly. He saw Roy, yes, but he should have been dead and instead ran around, angry, but otherwise as if nothing had happened. He had trouble eating his soup Louis was convinced he didn't need to eat in the first place. "But he's running around as if nothing had happened... Mostly.", he refused, while he himself didn't havr a mortal wound - probably - and could barely keep himself on his feet. "I have to be.", Louis replied. Why ever did the ringmaster keep …

"I need to keep up appearances.", Kosuke answered. Even out here, or especially maybe. He was polite and nice to people, helped the elderly, not only the couple that rented this place to him and he tried to stay out of people's ways, but especially when it came to the bathhouse, he couldn't exactly hide his job from anyone with the tattoo on his back. He could drive a bit towards the city center and go where his peers went, but he didn't. Mostly he simply tried to not disturb anyone or came back…

Kosuke was maybe too silent for his own good and kept people fill in the blanks when he didn't have much to say in the first place. His bosses liked that about him, others not necessarily. Sometimes he was called arrogant when he didn't believe he was. "Okay, I'll show you there. Uhm... Not too much touching there though, yeah?" He knew the people around here and they talked. In the end he couldn't just announce a relationship like that and even if Gin was a woman, he probably would keep things …
