[7th_warrant]

Herr Scientists...

My Master would like to have a word with you...

Comments

[prodigal_axe]

Your Master... what do you mean by that?

[7th_warrant]

I mean what I say.

[prodigal_axe]

... Is that so?

[Long pause.]

Who is it?

[7th_warrant]

I will speak their name when I am allowed to.

[carrythesin]

...Master?

[7th_warrant]

Yes.

[carrythesin]

You never had mentioned it.

[7th_warrant]

There was no need of it before.

[adventlead]

Why?

[7th_warrant]

That is not something I am at liberty to relate.

[blacksheepgirl]

[Said master is staying very close. The bonds between herself and the city had been snapping left and right for days. Sometimes just a single link, sometimes mass numbers at once; either way, her mind was rejecting them. She let them fall away, focusing her efforts on Testament as her powers stabilized. She would not let go of this one.]

[7th_warrant]

Mm... is there anything you'd like while awaiting their reply, my master?

[blacksheepgirl]

No. [Paranoia crept in; she didn't want him out of her sight for a second.] No...there's nothing.

[7th_warrant]

Mm... it will be growing colder soon.

[onikui_haruka]

[Oooh, this doesn't bode well with him at all.]

Humans shouldn't have Masters.

Not unless they're either servants or slaves.

[7th_warrant]

And which do you think suits me?

[onikui_haruka]

You tell me.

[7th_warrant]

...

She needs me, Haruka.
