So, it has been nearly a day, and there was no word from you, staff, about that mysterious assassin from last night? How am I expected to understand that silence? Disappointment about your failure, or could it be that she managed to sneak into this place without your notice?

Don't have the foggiest what you're on about, mate.

[IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE THIS DISPLEASED EXPRESSION.]

What exactly did you just say?

[bigbad17]

[IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE THIS SO NOT CARING EXPRESSION.]

You're nuts. Understand that? Also You ain't getting a new chair. We got a strict you break it you bought it policy here.

[not_his_shadow]

I will buy nothing in this cell.

[WHAT THE HELL AND YOU CALL HIM NUTS?]

[kingofdecisions]

Daren.

[not_his_shadow]

What do you have to report of last night?

[kingofdecisions]

Nothing worth daren's notice. I merely listened in as last night's events unfolded, and decided against taking any action in favour of observing their progression.

I am highly curious about daren's first hand experience.

[not_his_shadow]

You decided against taking action to protect your lord's life. I see.

[LMAO that was a v. factual statement. Not an accusation. Sigh, Guo Jia. You're a piece of work.]

A woman, in the same uniform as the nurses here. She was exceptionally strong and capable - almost inhumanly so.

[a beat.]

I want to know where she came from.

[geneticreaction]

I was in the area. Whenever you're free I can talk.

[not_his_shadow]

Perhaps later, seeing the circumstances. What is your name?

[geneticreaction]

I'm Kagari. They put me on level one.

[not_his_shadow]

Kagari. You are... a warrior?

[lvl100paladin]

'Assassin?'

You sound like you're having a paranoid fit. Do you need to lie down?

[not_his_shadow]

Naturally, that would be your response. Either your security is exceptionally weak, or you will have to personally execute us after all.

I met a woman last night. A woman wearing the same uniform as the ones who take care of our cells and our so-called "treatments". She tried to kill me - and she was very competent. Is this the first time you've heard of an incident like that? Hasn't anybody else reported it?

[lvl100paladin]

I don't know how you could have met anyone, locked in your cell overnight, Mr. Cao. There wasn't anyone out of the nurses' quarters last night, either. I would have heard.

If you'd like to discuss your nightmares, though, I'm free to listen.

[not_his_shadow]

[here's a very, very clear pause of weighing his options.]

I do not have any need for that at this time. If you want to be helpful, put my mind more at ease by telling me more about this place. I will sleep better then.

[you, seimei, are officially on his hate-list now. :|]
