7th Concert - [ voice ] Reluctant Requiem

[violined]

[ It's not really like Kohaku to make posts in short frequency, but at least it gives him something to do. Especially when one of the things to spend time with had effectively vanished from this realm of non-existence. ]

Yo... In case any of you care about that short asshole guy named Levi? Lance Officer or whatever the fuck his title was... He's gone. 

Must have made his peace like the dumbass he was.

[ And Kohaku can't help being bitter about it. The second walking pool of negativity in the afterlife had disappeared. Even someone like Levi could apparently find salvation. What a traitor. ]

I don't even know why I bother updating anybody on this, but now you know. Bye.

[ It's a bit like a comrade - that was the closest term to 'friend' he would dare to use - had died. Died by giving up.
But of course that is bullshit. They were already dead. There was nothing that really mattered. They were just here because they refused to give up. Refused to stop suffering, too, maybe. Kohaku won't admit a thing about that though. All that is certain was that now he'll have to find a new sparring partner. ]

Tch, that sounds like him, doesn't it? What a fucker.

But his things are gone and so is his contact info in the phones.

[mightletyouknowme]

On the phone? [It wasn't like she had ever checked but she would now, taking the time to check her contacts.]

...Eh, maybe there's another way?

[violined]

It's just speculation though.

If there was another way to leave or hide, that'd be great news, but it's not like Levi'd be around to tell us any about it.

[mightletyouknowme]

Even if he can't tell us, there has to be another way.

...It's not like I want out, anyway. It means we'll really be dead so why would I want to?

[violined]

If there was a way to break the system and get back to a world where we can have influence, then...

But like this, yeah, I wouldn't want to up and leave either. It's dumb.

[mightletyouknowme]

Then you do think so! [Cause most people didn't seem to think it was possible.]

But there's no way he'd find it before me. Something else had to happen.

[violined]

You keep saying 'something else, something else' but we don't know what that could be. Isn't that just making excuses?

[mightletyouknowme]

Only an idiot would think he left the other way.

...I didn't even know you were his friend.

[violined]

[ Gngh, here we go. Friendship tsun mode on. ]

Dunno if 'friends' really cuts it. But we talked some and shit. It was fun to fight him.

[mightletyouknowme]

Heh? Didn't he just yell all of the time?

[violined]

Not so much yell as grumble.

He was a major asshole, but that meant you could insult him right back without having to listen to a prissy fit.

[mightletyouknowme]

[Don't be silly, Sena has perfect memory of people...except she doesn't.]

So...when we do go...we don't get to say good-bye?

[violined]

Sure doesn't look like it.

Isn't anything new is it? Doubt many of us said goodbye at home either.

[mightletyouknowme]

That was a little different! We just went to a different place, we didn't go away forever.

[violined]

Hmh, maybe...

Guess for the people back there it doesn't sound like that though. Well, their own fault, if they kick the bucket as well they can end up here for a heartfelt reunion.

[mightletyouknowme]

Not everybody does. So, I want to go back there, instead.

[violined]

Makes sense. Although it sounds insane.

But at this point the insane goals are certainly the most interesting and worth pursuing.

[mightletyouknowme]

If it let us go back once, they can let us go back again! [Her hand comes up, fist in the air.] We just have to find the person who can do it!

[violined]

[ Alright, alright, now she actually gets a grin from him. Sometimes even Kohaku gets tired of being negative. ]

That's the spirit. A goal's good to keep us from losing it here, too.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She's getting into it, too.] Then I'll use my brain to find them and you can scare them into telling us what we need!

[violined]

[ He'd make a snarky remark but just now he decided to be comparatively nice so it goes unsaid. Instead he cracks his knuckles. Scaring people is something he's good at, alright? ]

Sounds like a plan. Can't wait tell we get our hands on him.

[mightletyouknowme]

[Sena assumes so... just look at him.]

It's that weird guy that texts everybody sometimes.

[violined]

You sure he isn't just some sort of henchman? Think the voice who ruined the school festival mentioned something like that..

[mightletyouknowme]

Even if he is, he knows who could do it. If he's not a boss, we might be able to get him on our side.

[Ignore the video game talk.]

[violined]

[ Good advice - Kohaku's gonna take it and just leave whatever logic she's using for someone else to figure out. ]

You'd seriously work together with a personality-less empty shell like him?
