[somewhere between the stationhive, the capsule house, and the mess hall, two short-tempered aliens are making a bit of a ruckus. business as usual, one might think, but if anyone who knows either of the two arguing comes near, they might notice something's a bit... off.]

((i'm calling it for the night, guys -- i'll pick up tomorrow! ♥))

[Hi. Just staring a little INTENSELY at your former teammate here and taking a dazed step back.]

[thekingsgambit]

I wonder if that is what mattered.

[Putting some distance between them and the ruckus and then suddenly yanking him closer.]

You do not have to be the traitor here, Suzaku. You can be who you wish.

[whenknightfalls]

[Stares at him for a second. It is also a bit incongruous to be lectured by a girl Lelouch]

...yeah.

[thekingsgambit]

[I can lecture you IN ALL FORMS.

Also, places a brief kiss on his forehead.]

We cannot afford to be falling back on bad habits right now.

We are facing a serious threat.

[whenknightfalls]

[Well...now that I've been lectured this is far less fun]

What threat is that?

[thekingsgambit]

[I am sure you will get over it soon enough. SOMEHOW.]

A creature known as the Great Devourer. And an even more enhanced version of the virus. The latter we can fight. The former... we require assistance. I am not yet sure as to whether we should, or rather, can trust them.

[whenknightfalls]

What sort of assistance?

[thekingsgambit]

Technology. Capability. They are details we are trying to pry from them. But as can be expected of most people who are not the campers, they are not forthcoming.

We may need the knightmares. Is the Albion in fit condition?

[whenknightfalls]

Yes, the Albion is ready to be used, if it's needed. Who are the people that are supposedly helping us?

[thekingsgambit]

The ones who have been using the carnival as a ruse. They are from another world and are familiar with the Devourer. I believe they came here to escape from it.

[whenknightfalls]

It isn't much of an escape, then. Hopefully their coming didn't put the rest of camp in danger.

[thekingsgambit]

The coincidence is worth considering.

But there is little we can do about that now. If their resources can help us combat this thing, we cannot rule that out. We have few options in this.

[whenknightfalls]

[nods]

I can imagine we need any help we can get, against something called the "Great Devourer."

[thekingsgambit]

I am having Nunnally and Euphy remain close to the cabin for now.

[whenknightfalls]

Good. I'm glad they'll be out of danger.

[Pauses]

Although you might need protecting too.

[thekingsgambit]

[Glaring]

Do not let your previous role go to your head.
